"...... Oh, Yu and Mio are crying. Wait a minute."

Erza stood up, and a moment later Meene stood up as well.

This is Horai Island.

Jin has returned and is going to explain what he has done so far, so the <> is all here.

"...... Fu."

Jin stopped talking for a moment and sipped a Ramon (lemon) squash.

He really wants to go over to where Elsa is breastfeeding the twins, but he hasn't been able to do so yet because Elsa is too shy to let anyone see her breasts.

At least, it seems that it is only possible when I am alone with Jin.

"......Waiting for you."

Elsa and Meene are back. Erza has Chloe in her arms and Mio in Meine's arms.

The sleeping twins seem to have woken up now, and are excited even though their bellies must be full.

"That's right!"

Jin took out a toy he had made.

"Jin, what's that?"

Bina asked, holding her son Reginald in her arms, just like Elsa.

"It's a denden-daiko," he said.

"A den-daiko?"

"Yes. Here, ......, look, Chloe, Mio."

Jin put one in each of Yu and Mio's hands, and they both swung them around.

They both swung them around and made a sound of "de-den-den-den".

They seemed to be amused by the sound and waved them around some more. They are still in a good mood because of the sound.

"I didn't expect babies to have such a strong grip," he says.

So the drum never fell off, and the twins never got tired of playing with it.

In fact, denden-daiko are usually played by babysitters to soothe babies rather than for babies to play with, but Jin had made one for babies.

<.

Well, he seems to be happy with it, so I guess it's not a problem.

"That's nice," he said.

Bina looked at Reginald with interest as she held him in her arms.

"Do you want one too?　I'll give you one.

From somewhere Jin pulled out a denden-daiko (a Japanese drum).

"Oh, thank you, Jin!

Jin, I'm sorry.

Bina and Luis thanked him.

But Jin shook his head and said it was nothing.

"They're made so that little kids don't get hurt. I made a lot of them so they wouldn't break.

He was a crafty fool and a parental idiot in his own right.

* * * * * *

Chloe and Mio woke up, so we couldn't talk for a while.

So we all go outside. It was a clear day outside, and a cool September breeze was blowing.

We sat down on the grass in front of the institute.

"Wow, your baby is so cute!

Reinhard and Bertsche are letting Juliana, who is now waddling, walk around on the grass in front of the institute as much as she can.

"Come on, Juliana, your father is over here.

"Come on, Yuri, mommy's over here."

"Good walk, good walk."

"Come here, come here."

Mr. and Mrs. Reinhardt were competing over which way to walk.

Jin received Mio from his mother-in-law, Meene, and held him in his arms.

"Oh, he laughed, he laughed!

"Jin-san, you're good at that. You're better than Elsa.

I took care of a lot of small children when I was in the orphanage.

"That's your father!"

Reiko was watching with a smile on her face.

"Oh, I'm so glad."

Milowina, watching the happy scene from a little distance, loosened her cheeks.

"It really is, isn't it? Jin is like a grandchild, and Yu and Mio are great-grandchildren.

Martha was also all smiles.

"Kuhu, seeing them like this, it's nice to have children.

"If that's what you think, then go ahead and marry Mr. Goose."

Dad?

Mr. Toa!

Saki and Goose were in a panic as their father Toa urged them on.

"Oh, I'd love to hold a baby myself..."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Toa to do it?

"Vivien?

I have to find the right man as soon as possible.

Stearina and Vivienne were also talking like that.

"I can't wait to see Zion's baby.

"What are you talking about?

Marikka teased Zion, and Zion's face turned red.

"It's lonely being single, isn't it?

"......I agree. ...... I love babies."

"I can't help it if I'm alone in this.

I agree.

Marcia and Licia seem to share something in common and have been getting along especially well lately.

"Marcia ......"

Rodrigo looked at his daughter Marcia with a complicated expression.

The five colored golem maids were preparing the tea, as instructed by the old lord.

Tables, chairs, and tables are brought in, and everyone enjoys their tea in their own way.

"Oh, it's so delicious!

The sky of Horai Island is clear and blue, and everything is quiet. The peaceful scenery that Jin had hoped for was there.
