When the excitement of Jin's return subsides a little, the village mayor, Giebeck, calls out on behalf of Jin.

Giebeck, the village head, calls out to Jin on behalf of the others.

Jin, welcome home. This village has been waiting for your return.

"Mr. Mayor, ......"

"Of course, it would be a great loss to the world if a magecraftsman of your caliber remained only in this village. But when you are tired, when you are sad, when you want to go home, this village will always welcome you.

With these words, he took Jin's hand. Jin squeezed his hand back.

"Thank you very much."

The chief then turned to the others,

"All right, everyone, that's enough. We will talk to Jin again. For now, let's let Jin take his time.

With that, he indicated with a hand gesture that they were dismissed.

"See you later, Jin."

"Jin, tell me your story sometime."

"Jin-chan, let's play again!"

With these words, some went home and some went back to the fields.

Those who remained were Jin, Reiko, Hannah, Elsa, Barbara, Martha, and Giebeck. Giebeck tells Jin: "Jin, Reiko, Hannah, Elsa, Barbara, Martha, and Reiko.

Jin, I don't think you know this, but you are not a wanted man. Afterwards, Mr. Faarheit came to me and told me that it was Count Walter's courage. He said that the king would have preferred to take you in.

Jin was relieved to hear this. At least his presence here would not cause any trouble in the village.

Giebeck added,

"Well, Jin, you can go to Martha's now. Barbara, come inside.

Giebeck opens the door and pulls her inside.

"Yes, uncle. Miss Elsa, I'll see you later."

Barbara went into the house too.

"Come on, let's go home too".

With these words Martha took Hannah's hand. She started walking slowly, but then stopped and looked back at Jin, who remained standing still.

"Hey Jin, what are you doing? I'm going home.

"Martha, ......"

"Come on, sister, come on, Reiko. I'm going home, I'm going home.

Martha told Jin and he started walking with Elsa and Reiko.

A short walk brought them to Martha's house.

"Come on, Jin. Why don't you show your sister around your house?

Jin looked back at Erza, who was standing diagonally behind him, and held out his hand.

"Yes."

Erza gave a small nod and took his hand.

"I've left Jin's room just the way it was so that he can come back whenever he wants," Martha said.

Martha said.

The room was spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust in sight.

Seeing such a room brought tears to Jin's eyes.

"Welcome home, Jin.

Martha said to Jin again, and he finally burst into tears.

Reiko gently offered him a handkerchief.

Erza looked at Jin and held his hand gently without saying a word.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jin drinks the tea that Martha made for him. Elsa and Hannah are also at the round table. Reiko was standing behind Jin.

"Ah, I haven't tasted this in a long time.

Tea from different tea trees tastes different in different places. And since Jin had been drinking only the tea from the Kingdom of Egelea recently, it had been a long time since he had tasted the green tea from the village of Kaina.

"......"

Jin takes a break. In front of him are the faces of Martha and Hannah.

"Um... ......"

Jin is about to say something when Martha interrupts him.

"Jin, let me tell you something first. Jin, let me tell you something first. I'm not going to ask you any questions. The people in the village are the same way. We all know you're no ordinary man. That you can do things that other people can't. So you don't have to tell me how you got here or anything if you don't want to. Remember that."

Jin was at a loss for words when Martha said this to him.

He had been wondering how he was going to explain.

"Thank you very much. If I told you everything, it might cause trouble for the village, so I feel much better now that you said that.

It would be fine if it was just the villagers, but the lords and other people from the kingdom might also come to the meeting. I did not want any unnecessary trouble.

At that moment, Hannah opened her mouth as if she could not contain herself.

Let's go to the mountains to get some medicinal herbs!

Hearing this, Jin remembered last year when he and Hannah went to pick medicinal herbs together.

"Well, let's see. Let's go after I drop Erza off.

Thinking that Meane would be worried about him, he replies with a surprising answer.

"Well, let's go together, Elsa!"

"Brother Jin, I want to go too.

Jin smiled and nodded his head.

"Okay, I'll go with you. You're not going to ...... walk there, are you?"

Hannah nodded her head,

"Yes!　I'll ride with you!

She answered. Hearing this, Jin thought about it.

"Well, are there any other golem horses available?

It is the beginning of the busy farming season. Golem horses are supposed to be useful for cultivating land, farming, and transporting materials.

"Yes, that's right. The horses are probably all on loan.

Martha made a guess based on the current situation.

"Well, shouldn't they be?"

Seeing the disappointed look on Hannah's face, Jin left the room for a moment.

He then took out a manacam from his pocket outside the room and made some kind of contact with Horaijima. He then returns to his room and turns to Hanna,

"Hannah, it's all right. I have to prepare my lunch.

He said, "Hannah, it's all right. Hanna was overjoyed to hear that.

"Really?　You can go?　Yay!　Grandma, I'll help you make lunch!"

"Yes, yes, one moment."

Martha stood up laughing and went to the kitchen with Hannah.

"Brother Jin?"

Jin explained what he had done to Erza, who looked doubtful.

"I sent instructions to send the golem horses from Hourai Island over here."

Then, after another call to somewhere, he hands Erza the manacam (magic element communication device),

"Meine is worried about you. Make sure you apologize to her.

She said, "Meine is worried about you. Erza received the manacam.

"Um,...... mother?　......Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm with my brother Jin right now. So I'd like to see a few more things here and then go home. ...... Okay, sure. Thank you."

He seemed to have been talking with Meane about something, and when he finished he gave Jin back the manacam.

"Thank you, Brother Jin. Mother forgave me when I told her that Jin was with me, saying that it couldn't be helped.

"Well, that's good."

Jin then turned to Reiko,

"Reiko, give that to Elsa."

"Yes, father."

Reiko took out a bracelet from her pocket. It is a bracelet to prevent hypermagic.

This is the reason why I had to call Reiko back once to give it to her in the first place.

It is a blessing in disguise that Jin was able to return to the village of Kaina thanks to the bracelet.

"This is a bracelet that prevents Erza from suffering from excess magic power. It also stores excess magic power. When you use magic, if you pass the magic through the bracelet, it will give priority to the magic in the bracelet."

"Really?"

Erza stares at the bracelet intently. I didn't know such a magical tool existed. No, only Jin could have made it, Erza thought intuitively.

"Ah. As long as you wear this, you don't have to worry about excess magic power anymore.

"Thank you,......."

I can say that I have a flaw in my hypermagic, but this bracelet can control it. I no longer have to worry about the disease that has been bothering me for so long. It's like a dream, Elsa thought.

At that moment, Reiko looked outside as if she had noticed something.

"Father, the horses have arrived.

"Well, you're early."

Jin stood up and went outside. Erza rubbed her eyes and followed him.

When Jin, Hanna, Erza, and Reiko went outside, they found Jin's beloved golem horse, , and the golem horse he had made when he had invited Erza, Reinhardt, and the others to Kunlun Island.

They had probably been brought there by someone from the Secret Service (SP), but the person who had brought them was no longer in sight.

"Oh, it's my brother's horse!"

Hannah seemed to have remembered the frame.

Erza also recognized the golem horse that she had ridden before, and she was soon astride it. She was wearing a ...... skirt.

Well, it's not a dress this time, and as long as I hold the front, I should be able to manage.

"Lunch is ready. Oh, you're Koma, and what about that one?　Did Jin call you?　You're still so impressive, aren't you?

Martha came out of the house with a basket of lunch boxes. <

"Thank you very much. Let's go then.

Reiko takes the basket and the canteen.

And three golem horses and an automata head for the mountain.

* * * *

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've had this view.

"It's a nice view."

Jin enjoys his first panoramic view of the village of Kaina in a long time, and Erza enjoys her first view of the village.

After this, the three of them and one other enjoyed a picnic that was not really a gathering of medicinal herbs.
