"Wow, it's huge. This is the sea ......"

We all came to the coast of Korun Island.

Hannah grew up in a village deep in the mountains called Kaina. She was just standing there, looking at the ocean for the first time in her life.

Holding her by the shoulders, Jin walks to the edge of the waves.

The spring sea is gently lapping against the shore. The beach is littered with seashells.

"Wow, it's beautiful. Are these seashells?"

"Yes, they are."

Hannah is excited to find a beautiful pink shell as small as a cherry shell.

"Here's another one, Hannah!"

Elsa joins her in collecting shells.

"If it were just a little warmer, we could swim.

The Kunlun Islands are roughly on the Tropic of Cancer. Unlike Potrock, where it is always summer, the water is still a little cold.

"Well then, honey, let's go swimming in the summer!

Hannah says back, and Jin's cheeks relax.

"Yeah, let's."

The memory of swimming in the Erme River last year comes back to Jin's mind, and he thinks about making a new swimsuit for Hannah.

The children in the village of Kaina swim in swimsuits that are similar to underwear, or at least the bottom part of the swimsuit.

Barbara and the others would wear a cloth around their chest as well.

"That was fun, Potlock!"

Before I knew it, Elsa was standing next to Jin. Hannah was making a pile of sand with Meane.

"Oh, that's right, that's when I met Erza and Reinhardt..."

"Hmm. It was a long time ago."

It has only been two and a half months, but it feels like a long time ago, probably because every day was so intense.

"Father, the sun is too strong on the beach, so here, take this.

Suddenly Reiko called out to me and offered me a straw hat. Of course, to Elsa, Hannah, and Meine.

"Oh, thanks, Reiko. What did you do with it?"

Jin had never made a straw hat before.

"Yes, I think Meane made it."

"What?　What?

When he turned to Meane, she looked down a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Meene.

Jin thanked her and put on his straw hat. The straw hat smelled good.

Inhaling the sea breeze, Jin gazed at the sea. The waves were calm. Then he turned to Reiko who was right behind him,

"Reiko, can you sneak one of the hydros over here?

Reiko answered "yes" and asked her if she could turn one of the hydro boats this way. Reiko nodded her head,

"Yes, I'll get it for you right away.

Reiko answered "Yes, I'll make an arrangement right away. She then contacted the old man by manacam,

"He is coming soon.

He replied, "He will be here soon. As he said, Hydro 2 arrived in about 5 minutes. Marine 2 is piloting the boat.

"Master, you wanted to see me?"

Marine 2 landed Hydro 2 on the beach because it was a sandy beach.

"Oh, thank you. You're early."

Yes, we were just on patrol in this area.

While Jin was talking with Marine 2, Hanna was interested in Hydro 2.

"Onii-chan, is this the boat you made?　I want to ride on it!

Jin smiled and nodded his head in agreement.

Of course. That's why I called you here. Erza, let's go too. Sorry Meine, but we only have room for four, can you stay here?

Meine smiled,

"Yes, of course. I will be waiting for you here.

So Jin, Elsa, and Hannah got into the Hydro 2. Reiko is sitting with Hannah, as if she was sitting on Jin's lap ...... like in the past.

The car is a four-seater, so there are two seats in the front and back, and Marine 2 and Jin are in front. Erza, Hanna, and Reiko are sitting in the back. All three of them are small, so they managed to sit down.

"Okay, let's go!"

Marine 2 puts the Magi Water Jet, the Hydro 2's magical water propulsion system, into full reverse thrust. The force of the thrust moves Hydro 2 on the beach, and the boat slides out to the sea with a spray of water.

Hydro 2 quickly turned around and headed out to sea. Everyone held their straw hats in their hands to prevent them from being blown away.

"Wow, that's fast!"

"...... is amazing!"

Aside from Hannah's first time on a boat, Elsa, who has competed in the Golem boat competition in Potrock, can see firsthand how ridiculous this boat is.

"It's not twice as fast, it's three times as fast."

At the time, Elsa's boat had an estimated cruising speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. Now, the Hydro 2 is going nearly 60 kilometers per hour.

"Wow, that's great!"

Hannah is excited. Erza, who was planning to heal her immediately if she gets drunk, relaxes her shoulders.

At that time, Jin gave her a signal that only Reiko could understand. Reiko, realizing this, secretly casts on Jin. In other words, Jin was getting seasick.

Splashing and kicking against the waves, the Hydro 2 makes a full circle around the Kunlun Island.

"Oh, that was fun. Thank you, Onii-chan!

It is just time for a snack when they return to the beach where Meine is waiting.

Peridot 100, the Korun Island's resident maid golem, thoughtfully brought snacks.

"Oh, you're so thoughtful!"

Jin praised her,

"No, the old man gave me the order.

Peridot 100 easily clarifies.

They spread a cloth on the beach and sat down to snack.

Peeled citrons and citron juice.

"Wow, it's delicious!

It was the first citran she had ever eaten and she liked it.

"Here you go, Hannah!

Jin felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw Erza sharing her favorite Citran with Hannah.

"Let's come swimming next time..."

"Yes!"

Hannah was in a good mood as she walked with her golem horse.

Meine rode with Erza on the horse.

"Elsa, you shared your citran with Hannah, that's great!

"Yes, because Hannah is so cute.

"I see you can do big sisterly things too."

Meane had her mother's face.

We took our time on our way home, and it was past three o'clock when we arrived at the museum.

"Just in time. Let's have tea.

Meane said and started to get ready. Ruby 100 had boiled water for her, so it was ready in no time.

"Here you go, Hannah.

I brewed a cup of tea, a specialty of the Kingdom of Egelea. I put some sugar in it for Hannah.

She took a sip of it.

"It's so sweet!　Delicious!"

She smiles. Erza's face naturally broke into a smile when she saw that. Meine also smiled.

"Here you go, this one too.

I served dried brulle as a tea set. It is Jin's favorite food.

"Oh, this is delicious, too!

Jin, Elsa, and Meine. Everyone wanted to see Hannah's smile.

Afterwards, we went to the hot spring in the pavilion. All three women bathed together.

"Yay, this is a hot spring too!

Hannah was the first to rush into the bathhouse.

Hannah, who was used to bathing in the village of Kaina, poured hot water over her body before soaking herself in the hot water.

Then Erza and Meane came in.

The hot water feels good because of the sticky sea breeze.

Meine stretches her body in the bathtub.

I'm a little tired from riding the horse.

Then Hannah came up behind her,

"Auntie, let me rub your shoulder".

She said.

She said, "No, that's okay, I'm fine.

Meane said no, but Hannah did not agree.

"Don't worry. I give my grandmother a good night's sleep."

Saying this, she began to rub Meane's shoulders half-heartedly. Her hips and buttocks were tired, but she was not stupid enough to mention it.

"Oh, that feels so good! Hannah, you're so good!"

She said and let Hannah do what she wanted.

"Yes!　How do you like it?　Do you like it here?"

"Yes, that part feels good."

Hannah's grip is surprisingly strong. It's because she helps with the housework every day.

"Thank you, Hannah. I should do something for you. What would you like?"

After having her shoulders rubbed for a while, Meane told Hannah this, and Hannah twitched, then looked a little embarrassed,

She twitched and then said a little shyly, "Oh, you know... Auntie, you know..."

Meane smiled gently. Meane smiled gently,

"What is it?　She encourages Hannah to say it.

Meine urges Hannah to say something. Then Hannah said her wish slowly.

I want you to hold me in your arms just once, auntie.

Meane had heard that Hannah's parents were gone,

"Yes, of course. Come here, Hannah."

She hugged Hannah with both hands.

Hannah buried her face in Meine's rich chest,

"......Mom!" she murmured in a voice so small that she could not be heard.

in a voice so small that she could not be heard.
