June 2. Jin and Saki left Count Randall's house before noon.

"See you later, Reinhard."

"Miss Bertsche, ...... not you, Mrs. Randall, be good to your husband."

"Yes, yes."

Berthe's face turns red at the mention of this. Jin tries his best to hold back his desire to say <.

So Jin, Saki, Reiko, and Aaru are now traveling in Jin's carriage.

Jin, I know it's too late to say this, but your carriage is very comfortable to ride in. It's as good as I expected.

"I'm really impressed... after all these years..."

"Don't say that, I'm feeling sorry for you. The last time you took me for a ride, my glasses were so groundbreaking I couldn't pay attention to anything else. So it's your fault, too."

"That's a crock of shit."

"That's a quibble." "Huh, you could say that."

We arrived at Saki's house while talking about nothing else.

"So, what should I do?"

"Well, all you need is your baggage. If you need something, you can make it or come and get it.

"Warp gate, right?　It's exciting to be able to experience an ancient artifact with my own body.

Saki disappeared with Aal with an excited gesture to the back of the house and returned in a few minutes. Half of the credit for this speed must go to Aaru, who was dressed in a black butler's outfit.

Aaru is dressed in a black butler's uniform. Saki is wearing a shirt-like shirt and slim pants. Saki wears a shirt-like shirt and thin trousers.

Jin doesn't mind, because he knows that he can get by on the other side if he needs to.

"Okay, let's go."

While Saki was getting ready, Jin put the carriage inside the barn. It is a secret that the entrance to the barn was too small for the carriage to fit through, so he broke it down, put the carriage in, and fixed it again.

"Hmmm, you put the carriage in the barn. "Hmmm, you put the carriage in the barn, which is perfect since we don't use this barn or have anything to put it in.

"Steward, you're in charge of the carriages."

"Yes, sir."

Saki sees this exchange between the master and servant and makes a sharp observation.

"This golem must be a lot more powerful than it looks."

"Well..."

Jin lightly answered and opened the door of the warp gate inside the carriage.

"Come on Saki, grab my hand. Reiko, take Aaru's hand."

"Yes, father."

I see, you said you can only use it if you have the same magic pattern as the djinn, right?　...... but what is magic?"

As a special exception, we have adjusted the gate so that we can fly to the village of Kaina without going through the intermediate base, so we exit the gate at the shelter.

"Ummm, that was a transition!　I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel anything, and now I'm in another place!

But eventually, he seemed to have calmed down and had enough time to look around him.

"Well, what is this place?"

Saki's voice sounded curious. The interior is brightly lit thanks to the magic lamps that light up when they sense that someone is inside.

"It's a shelter located on the outskirts of the village of Kaina. ...... It's a place to evacuate in case of a disaster."

"Hmm, an underground living space. It seems to have a pantry as well...very well thought out."

Saki looks around the shelter and analyzes its use.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to it."

And they go outside.

"Oh?

The first thing that catches your attention is the castle standing right in front of you.

"Jin, what is this building?"

"Oh, it's my castle, Nido Castle."

Is it a castle? ......

"Yes. I'll show you around later. Let's go to the village first.

"Uh-huh."

Jin headed for the village of Kaina, dragging Saki, who was walking slowly because she was anxious about Nido Castle and looked back from time to time.

The time difference between Kaina and Banne is about three hours and a little after 11:30 a.m., so it was just before 3:00 p.m. here.

The villagers had finished their work and were about to return home.

Locke, who was on his way home from work, spotted Jin walking with Saki, Aal, and Reiko in tow.

"Hey, Jin, welcome back. Who's that?

"Mr. Locke, I'm home. This is my friend Saki.

"I'm Saki. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, I'm Rock. Nice to meet you.

I meet a few more people, and we exchange similar pleasantries. We arrived at Martha's house.

"Oh, honey, welcome home."

Hannah, who was just outside, noticed Jin. She had gotten used to the situation with her missing tooth, and her pronunciation had improved a lot.

"I'm home, Hannah."

"Okkyuu-sama?"

This time Saki greeted me herself.

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Saki. And you're Hannah, right?"

"Yes, I'm Hannah, not ......."

"Yes, nice to meet you. ...... Jin, you're a pretty girl. Is she your sister?

Saki exchanged smiles with Hannah and asked Jin a question. Jin smiled and answered.

"Yes. "Yeah. We're not related, but... I have another child like that."

"Oh, well, that's exciting. I can't wait to meet her."

While we were having this conversation in the garden, Erza heard our voices and came out.

"Brother Jin, you're back?　......?　Saki, sister?"

"......E,Erza?"

Saki and Erza were speechless. They had never expected to find each other in a place like this.

"As Saki said, I'm hiding Erza after consulting with Reinhardt."

Saki finally responded to Jin's words.

"I see. I knew it. ......Erza, it's been a long time. You've grown up."

"Saki!"

Erza ran to Saki and hugged her. Saki hugged Erza and patted her head.

"I'm sorry, Elsa. I'm sorry, Elsa. I'm sorry that I have to live in hiding because of that dirty Marquis.

"No, don't worry about it. I gave up the family name of Randall. I'm just Elsa living in this village now. I won't be lonely now that Mother is with me."

Mother?

Yes. Mother Meine."

Saki heard this and her face became convinced.

"So, Meine is Erza's mother. I had a feeling that she was. ......"

Just then Meene returned. In her hand was a basket of vegetables.

"Saki, sir?"

"Hello, Meine!　It's been a long time!　You look good.

I haven't seen you since before I left on my trip. I haven't seen you since before I left on my trip.

I think it's been a couple of years. - Yeah, about that long.

Well, I don't want to stand around talking, so let's continue inside.

Jin explained the situation to Martha, who had come out to see what was going on in the garden.

Following his words, the group went to Martha's house.

The water had just boiled, so Martha made tea from the tea tree, or perchia.

The tea was served with dried wileys. Wylie is a wild strawberry and tastes sour, but when it is dried, it becomes sweeter and easier to eat.

Jin gave a brief account of what had happened since he left the day before yesterday.

"My sister Saki is a person who helped me in my home country. She is an alchemist and knows many things.

Erza also introduced Saki.

"Well, Erza, I am glad to hear you say so, but since I met Jin, I have been reminded of how inexperienced I am.

She took off her glasses and put them on the table.

"Jin made these for me, too. They are called glasses. When I put them on, I can see the world better than before. I can't thank you enough.

"That's the kind of man you are, Jin."

"Yeah, Erza is Jin's sister. I'm glad to see you happy."

Saki's attention turned to Edgar, who was standing diagonally behind Erza, after drinking Percha's tea.

"By the way, Erza, what's with the automata?"

"Hm?　You mean this girl?　The first automata I ever made. His name is Edgar.

"My name is Edgar.

Saki seemed quite surprised to hear that.

"What?　Erza made this?　Erza, you're a magi engineer now?"

"Yes. My brother Jin taught me how to do that.

Saki nodded her head again and again.

"I see. I guess so. If Jin is your master, it's no wonder you are improving so quickly.

"What about the automata (automata) behind my sister Saki?"

Elsa asked, looking at Aalu this time.

"Yes, this is Aaru. Jin, Reinhardt, and I made it together ......, although Jin made most of it.

"I'm Aal, nice to meet you, Erza-sama, everyone."

Behind Meine is Sara and beside Jin is Reiko. Aal, Saki's follower, and Edgar, who follows Erza.

Siblings, cousins, automata and golems. They seem to have something in common, greeting each other with their eyes and talking to each other silently.

It was a very peaceful space.
