Let's take it easy for a day tomorrow.

"Mmm..."

After taking a bath at Reuthert's house, Jin and Elsa are relaxing in the living room.

The time is 9:00 p.m.

A bottle of white wine, Erlich 3454, was in front of them.

"Is this Reinhardt's favorite brand?"

"Yes, it's called Auslese. The Erlich region is the eastern shore of Lake Wass.

Elsa explains.

This sweet wine can be enjoyed without any snacks, so it seems to be suitable for a nightcap.

Jin and Elsa each poured a glass of wine.

"It's easy to drink.

"Yes, it's easy to drink. Many white wines are sweet, so they are easy to drink.

Red wines look sweet, but most of them are dry and have a unique astringent taste because the red color comes from the grape skins. Therefore, it is not for beginners, Elsa explains.

"I see."

Jin had never drank sake on his own when he was in modern Japan, so he knows little about such knowledge about alcohol.

Erza, on the other hand, knows a lot about such things due to Reinhardt's love of wine.

<. It is quiet.

Jin puts his wine glass on the table and says something.

"...... but I'm finally starting to get a sense of what it's like."

"Of what?"

"That Elsa has become my wife."

Ah...

Jin's face is red, but it seems that he is not only embarrassed. Because of the good taste, Jin seems to be drinking at a little fast pace.

"...... Jin, are you drunk?"

Erza looks at Jin with a little staring eyes.

"Maybe I'm drunk.

Jin himself was aware that he was drunk.

"If you drink too much, you will have a headache tomorrow.

"......If I do, I'll ask Elsa to fix it for me."

"What?"

"What, you won't fix it?"

Well, I'll fix it, but...

Well, that's good.

"...... yeah."

It's a simple conversation. But there was a definite bond there.

After a few more glasses of wine, they went to bed together.

They must have had a good dream that night.

The dream was a good one.

Father, Elsa, please wake up soon.

Reiko's voice wakes Jin and Elsa up.

"......Ah, is it morning already?"

Jin mutters as he rubs his eyes.

"It's not morning, it's almost noon.

"Oh, is it that late already?"

"Yes, it's almost ten o'clock.

"...... you overslept. ......"

You're up too late. ......

Reiko is about to say something snide to Hitoshi. But he immediately apologizes and bows his head.

"......I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Jin pats Reiko on the head.

"Reiko, say what you think. That's what makes me happy.

"...... yes, father."

Reiko smiled happily and continued with one more word.

"...... well, I think you should speak to Erza-sama."

"What?"

Reiko told him, and he looked to the side to see Erza, who had woken up and was staring at Jin with a slightly puffed up face.

"......"

"Sorry, sorry."

Jin suddenly hugged Erza.

"......!"

Erza was surprised and stiffened, but she immediately relaxed her body and let Jin take care of her.

Jin whispered something in Erza's ear.

Erza nodded her head with a slight blush on her cheeks. Jin gently released her arms.

"Let's take a shower and eat first.

Jin got off the bed and stretched.

From now on, it would be breakfast and lunch.

"......."

Elsa nodded, her face still a little red.

Then they get dressed and leave the bedroom. Reiko follows them. Edgar is waiting outside the bedroom with a towel.

Edgar was waiting outside the bedroom with a towel.

"Well, what shall we do today?

After a late breakfast (=early lunch?) After finishing the late breakfast (=early lunch?), Jin and Erza think about their plans for the day, although it is already around 11:00 a.m. and they only have half a day left.

"Let's take it easy like we said yesterday, shall we?"

Erza said with a soft smile.

"Yes, that's right."

There is no rule that says we have to do something.

Jin decided to take it easy, literally.

"......I can't seem to get rid of my poverty ......."

Jin muttered to himself.

"By the way, don't you have to go to your parents' house?

Erza's parents' home is on the other side of Lake Tosmo from the capital of the Shoro Kingdom, Leusert.

If we want to go there, we can take a short flight by .

"No, not yet. Not yet, I think, until after this whole reception.

For now, Elsa said, her priority is to fulfill her role in the public eye.

"Besides..."

Elsa continued.

"My home now is with my brother Jin."

"...... I see, thank you."

Somehow Jin was compelled to thank her.

In the end, neither of them left Reuthert's house for the rest of the day.
