The day after Reiko cried, the old man said to Jin

"Yes?　What's going on?"

Jin tilted his head.

"Yes, to the moon."

Reiko added her own words, which made Jin's face go even more "? >>Reiko added her own words and Jin's face became even more serious.

<

"Isn't it wrong when I say I want you to be surprised?　That's it."

Jin was curious to know what was waiting for him at the Moon.

"Well, if you insist, let's go there.

Jin headed for the warp gate room. Of course, Reiko followed him.

When they arrived at the moon, they were greeted by the voice of the magic brain, .

Welcome, Master Jin. We've been expecting you.

"Hello, Jack. The old man says you have a surprise for me.

Yes, that's right.

"You know about it too, Jack? ...... Well, it's on the moon, of course. So what is it?

You'll have to see for yourself.

With those words, a door opened.

This way, please.

"Okay."

Jin walked through the door that Jack had opened and went straight down the hallway.

"Have you been to ...... this section before?"

The interior of the Moon (UNY) is largely hollowed out, and since it is also a residential area, there are areas that Jin has never set foot in.

"Is this ...... a living area?"

It was natural that Jin, who had no business in the residential area, had never visited there, especially since most of the areas were uninhabited.

This way.

Once he turned right, a large door opened spontaneously.

"Yes."

Jin stepped in without hesitation. Reiko followed suit.

Inside was an airlock system like the doors to the other living quarters, and the outer door closed before the inner door opened.

Please come in.

"Okay."

It was a little different from the living quarters Jin had seen before.

"Is this ......?"

While the other settlements were more like the weather around the old Leonard's Kingdom, this area was a bit more humid.

I would venture to say that while the other areas were just fine with a long-sleeved shirt, this one was just fine with a short-sleeved shirt.

"I see, it's similar to the springtime weather in Horai Island.

You're right, Master Jin.

's voice rang out.

Please proceed to the back.

"This way, Father."

Reiko leads Jin by the hand.

There was a house.

This is ......

It was a Japanese style house, just like the one on Horai Island. However, this house was so large that it could be called a << house>.

It has a magnificent gate, and the frontage of the entrance, which can be seen from the gate, is also quite large.

Ladies and gentlemen, they are waiting for you.

Reiko leads us through the gate to the entrance.

Then the sliding door of the entrance was opened.

The old man was surprised.

The old man said, "I have a surprise for you.

Jin was greeted there.

"Welcome, Brother Jin.

"......E ......E,lu,za?"

It was, and still is, Jin's beloved wife, Erza.

"...... really, Elsa?　......No, ......"

"You are right, brother Jin. I am now a duplicate, a homunculus body with memories and knowledge."

"But you're still Elsa, right?"

...... Yes, my dear.

Erza!

Jin ran up to Erza and hugged her.

"Brother Jin,......, I've missed you so much."

"Yeah, I missed you too."

He had thought that these feelings had faded after becoming a double, but once he felt their warmth, he realized that they were not gone, but merely asleep.

They held each other as if they were checking each other's warmth, and then both of them loosened their arms.

"...... are all waiting for you."

Erza took Jin's hand and led him to the back of the house.

Jin followed her lead to the back of the house. Reiko has somehow read the air and disappears.

When he opens the fusuma (sliding door), he finds all the familiar faces there.

"Onii-chan!"

"...... Hannah?"

The first person to run up to Jin is a woman of about 18 years old. Her blonde hair was braided into a pigtail.

"Yeah, it's me!

"You've grown up, ......!"

"Heh heh heh!"

Jin felt relaxed to see Hannah, who looked like an adult but was still the same as before.

Then, a woman in her twenties who looked just like Hannah said to Jin, "Jin!

"Jin, it's been a long time.

"Are you Martha from ......?

Yes, it's me. It's me. ...... I mean, after what Hannah did to you...

It's good to see you again.

Me too.

Jin-san, you look well.

Licia!

I'm so happy to see you again!

I'm very happy to see you again!

Jin!　It's so good to see you again!

Next came Bina and..,

"Jin, it's a strange coincidence, isn't it?"

It was the Count and Countess of Lewis.

Jin, who had recently been doing various things with their descendants, was in an indescribably strange mood.

"Hey, Jin!

Marcia was there too.

"Well, I guess I can enjoy this world a little more," she said.

She was a little embarrassed and bashful, just like when we first met.

"Well, Jin, it's been a while!

"Yes, indeed!　It's good to see you."

Of course, her best friend Reinhard was there.

"Thank you for Hannah."

I really do.

They shake hands.

Jin-sama, it's been a long time.

Reinhardt's beloved wife, Bertsche, was also there, looking young ...... and fresh.

"It looks like you can spend a little more time with your husband.

"A while, Jin, a while."

"Ah, Saki, it's really been a while!"

Saki, dressed as usual, also looked nostalgic and squinted her eyes.

"Jin-sama, please keep in touch with me."

"Uh, ...... are you my mother-in-law?"

Chestnut hair, brown eyes. The woman is .......

"Yes, my name is Meane."

Meene also looked like she was in her twenties.

"Jin-kun, I look like this too. It's a strange fate, isn't it?

"Toa ......?"

Toa was a beautiful young man in his twenties, and Jin could understand why Saki's mother, Charley Theoderic von Mowry, had eloped with Toa.

"Jin-kun, my husband is so handsome. I'm worried about him.

A woman with copper-colored hair said. Of course,

"Mr. Stearina!"

She is .......

"Jin, you're going to add to your legend," said Vivian.

It was Vivian who said.

"Vivien, it's good to see you again.

Jin's eyes began to water at the sight of all the people he had missed.

"Jin, it's so good to finally meet you."

Goose!

"Now we'll have more freedom of movement."

"...... What do you mean?"

That, of course, is because Jin-sama is aware of our presence.

...... Rodrigo?

Marcia's father, Rodrigo, also looked younger.

"<> gave me a lot of trouble, you know."

"Milowina!"

Milowina, one of the last to emigrate to the moon, had also taken on a younger appearance.

"Uh, so is Marikka here too ......?"

"Yes, Jinsha."

Marikka!

Marikka, in her youth, was standing there, her cheeks flushed from the bite.

"...... I'm sorry for worrying you."

Jin could only nod his head now, feeling nostalgic.
