In another corner, Toa came to Guth, his daughter-in-law, and they were having a drink together.
"I'm glad to see that you have achieved so much, Mr. Goose.
"I'm very proud of you, sir."
Toa's face was red. It looks like he is very much ready.
"But don't get so absorbed in your research that you neglect your daughter. ...... like I did."
I'll be careful.
Goose scratches his head. Hearing this, Toa nodded his head in satisfaction.
Toa also seemed to be concerned about the fact that he was often away from home, traveling from place to place.
Rodrigo had a rare conversation with Giebeck, the mayor of the village of Kaina.
"This is a nice village, isn't it?
"It's a nice village, isn't it?
"Vibrant and prosperous. The town is ...... more comfortable to live in than the royal city.
Giebeck was happy to see that Rodrigo truly felt this way.
"Well, thank you very much. I'm glad to hear that from someone who knows Gin."
Giebeck is one of the few people who can call in the old-fashioned way.
Most of the men in the village of Kaina and the ladies still call him .
Marcia was enjoying a conversation with Barbara and the other young women of the village.
Marcia also thinks that the village of Kaina is a nice village. However, she also thought it was a pity that there was no demand for boats because it did not face the sea.
Then..,
"...... So, Marcia, you are going to build a boat! I hope you will make a boat that can run on the Erme River next time.
one of the village girls said. Marcia replied with some surprise.
"Yes, but I think it would be easier if you ask Jin to make it for you.
"Well, maybe... but I don't know...?"
"Haha, what's that? Well, it's okay.
"Wow, thanks!"
Marcia thought this offer was interesting.
What kind of boat would be suitable for a fast-flowing river? Her shipwright's blood began to boil.
Erza's mother, Meine, is chatting with Lou, Rita, Sonia, and others whom Jin had brought from Lalio.
All of them had married men in the village and had happy families. Some of them had children.
Meine taught them how to read, write, do housework, and behave, and they still look up to her as their .
"You still call me teacher, don't you?
"Yes, of course! You will always be our teacher!
"Thank you, guys."
Surrounded by the smiling faces of her students, Meane was happy.
"......"
The party lasted well into the night, so the children, Chloe and Mio, began to row the boat.
Chloe and Mio are about to go to sleep.
Erza looked at the twins and said.
"Yeah, I guess so."
Jin gently patted their heads.
"......fumyu"
"...... unyu!"
"Oh, we'll have to put them to sleep now," Jin said.
Jin said,
"You, I'll go put them to sleep."
Erza stood up holding them in her arms.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'll take care of them."
Still worried, Jin asked Reiko to take care of them.
"Reiko, take care of Elsa and the kids."
"Yes, Father."
Respecting Elsa's wishes, the two are held as they are, but in case they fall or are dropped, Reiko is there to support them within 0.1 seconds.
However, Erza, their mother, reached Nidojo's bedroom with them in her arms and laid them gently on the futon that had been prepared for them.
"Reiko, please tell the master that I am already here with them.
"Yes, Miss Elsa."
Reiko returned to the hall by herself and reported to Jin.
"I see. Then you can rest assured."
Jin is the star of the show today, so he cannot leave early.

A satellite of the planet Ars.
A small world where a considerable number of people can live has been built inside. When the Originals came to Ars from their home planet in their , they used it as a temporary home until the preparations for migration were completed.
After that, it was placed in satellite orbit as a refuge in case of emergency, and now it has become a moon (Uni), a satellite orbiting Ars.
The current master is Milowina, a descendant who once descended to Ars and returned again.
She has been in the sterile, low-gravity moon (Uni) for so long that she lacks physical strength, but she is slowly getting used to it.
"Today is Jin's birthday, isn't it?
Even though he had gotten used to Ars, he could not join the banquet at Nido Castle, so he had no choice but to stay at Yuny.
In addition, he had been feeling a little under the weather for the past couple of days.
"Let me at least congratulate you.
Milowina ordered the magical brain , who was in charge of the moon.
"Please tell Mr. Jin that .
"Yes, sir.

Today is April 1st. As it is the birthday of Nidohito-sama, Milowena-sama asked me to give him a word of congratulation.
then conveyed Milowena's words to the old man.
The old man thanked Jin on his behalf.

The communication was cut off.
Needless to say, the old man delivered Milowina's words to Jin through Reiko after this.
