"Jin-dono, I am sorry for your decision.
The next day, when Jin went to Jed Alamordo and told him that he had decided to go to Lawhon, he looked relieved and then in a good mood.
He was relieved, and then in a good mood. He imagined that he was happy that he did not have to go through any trouble to take Jin to Lawhong.
"Then I want you to spend the day preparing, and I want to leave at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Is that all right?"
"Yes."
There was no turning back now.
Jin was a little sad, because he had spent a little more than half a month in the village, and he was finally getting used to it.
"So, this workshop will end today.
"......It's a pity, sir."
"It can't be helped..."
Katya looked down sadly.
And Helga, who has been showing up every day like a second employee.
"If you need anything repaired, I'll take it for the rest of the day.
I understand.
"But Jin has been fixing things for the past half month.
Helga said, "It has made my life a lot easier.
"Thanks to Jin," said Helga.
"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you for saving my life.
"But I think Jin can live on his own without your help..."
What do you think I am?
Jin is Jin, right?
"......"
I couldn't go into it because I wasn't wrong.
Thank you for everything, Katya.
"Thank you, too. I've earned a lot of money."
"Oh, and tell Isak I said hi."
Yes, of course.
Isak had gone hunting across the river the day before yesterday. Once he goes out, he doesn't come back for a week or so.
Jin then made a round of the village. He checks the repaired pumps and night-lights.
"Well, this should last for another 30 years or so without maintenance.
Jin went around the village, satisfied with the workmanship.
"Hey, Jin-kun, are you making rounds today?"
"Yes, I went to check on the pump I fixed.
"It's working great. It doesn't make a squeaking sound anymore.
"That's good to hear."
After exchanging such conversation here and there, Jin returned to the workshop.
He returned to the workshop, where Cachair and ...... Jed Alamoldo were waiting for him.
"What is it? Is something wrong?
"Yes. I've asked Katya to go with me to Lawhon.
"Oh, is that so?"
Jin asked Katya, and Jed Alamold answered on his behalf.
"I've talked to him a little, and he's quite good at math and accounting and so on. I decided to take him to Lawhon for a good opportunity."
"...... and that's what I'm going to do. ......"
With a slightly pale face, Katya nodded to Jin.

At night, Jin was lost in thought.
(......Elsa ......I wonder if the child has been born yet.........I hope it is safe...) .......No, I'm sure it's all right, because my mother-in-law, Martha, Dr. Sally, and the old man are all here... ......)
I can't help thinking about it, but I can't help thinking about it when I'm alone.
(What I try not to think about, I am already thinking about. ......)
(I'm already thinking about the things I'm trying not to think about. ) Still, during the daytime, I can forget about it by working on repairs, but at night, when everything is quiet around me, I can't help but think about it.
(Tomorrow, I will leave for Lawhong. (I wonder if there are any clues in Lawhon.)
While Jin was thinking about such things, he fell asleep.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The next day, the clock in the multipurpose plaza of the village reads a little before 7:00 a.m. (Come to think of it, there is a clock like this.
(Come to think of it, the presence of such a clock is a little different from that of Ars. ......)
Jin secretly checked the clock and found that it tracks the movement of the and reflects it in the hour hand. Only the hour hand, though.
(I guess they are following the slight gravity fluctuation. ...... Come to think of it, the moon in this world looks just like the moon in Ars (Uni).
I have not noticed it since I don't walk around at night, but the moon in this world looks just like the moon in Ars (Uny).
(I guess it's a very close parallel world. ...... No, no, no, you must not have strange preconceptions when you go to Lawhon in search of new information).
"Jin, good morning,......, sir."
I turned around at the sound of his voice and saw that it was Katya. I'm not sure what to do.
"...... you have a big baggage."
While Jin was carrying only his personal belongings, Katya was carrying a bag in each hand.
"Girls have a lot of luggage!"
Helga has also arrived. She is carrying a large bag in her hand.
"What, Helga's coming too?"
but Helga laughed and shook her head.
"Of course not. This is Ka-cea's luggage. Here, take it for her."
"Me?
"You have your hands full!"
...... Okay, okay.
Jin-san, I'm sorry ......
Sorry, Mr. Jin," said Katya with a sorry look on her face.
"No, I'm fine, but did you get Jed's permission for the luggage?"
"Yes, yesterday.
"Yes, yesterday. ...... would be fine."
The time was exactly seven o'clock. Jed Alamordo arrived. He was leading two carriages, himself and four guards on horseback.
"Oh, you're here. "Oh, you're here. Jin-dono and Ka-CHEER take the front carriage. Put your baggage in the carriage behind.
Yes, sir.
The carriage seats four. So Jed, Jin, and Katya can ride in it. The carriage in the back was more like a spare carriage than a luggage carriage.
But Jed seemed to be going on horseback. That means Jin and Katya in the carriage. Jin thought that he would not be bored if he had someone to talk to.
As they finish loading the luggage, Sergey, the village headman, and his wife, Mina, arrive. Behind them were Katya's parents and her aunt Sonya, a grocer.
"Go on, Mr. Jin," they said.
"Jin, I hope you find some clues.
"Jin, it was a lot of fun. Chair, stay with me!
Careful, chair!
Jin, take care of her.
"Thank you very much. Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Bye, Dad. Bye, Mom. Bye, Helga.
And so on. Jin and Katya said goodbye to those who were seeing them off.
"Well, let's go!"
Jed Alamordo gave the signal, and the carriage began to move slowly.
