It was now evening in Kaina village, and so Jin decided that they should hurry on back .
As Elsa had not been given permission to use the warp gate by herself, Edgar took Reikoâs hand and Jin took Elsaâs hand and they went through it .
âAhhh, older brotherâŠSister Elsa . Welcome back . â
Hanna welcomed them with a toothless voice . Hanna saw Edgar being pulled by Reiko and looked surprised .
ââŠWho is that?â
âHanna, this is Edgar . The automata that Elsa created . I guess you could say that he is Reikoâs cousin . â
Hanna seemed to have understood this explanation .
âReally? So he is called Edgar . Iâm Hanna . Nice to meet you!â
âYes, Miss Hanna . It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance . â
Hanna scowled at these formal words .
âEdgar, I donât like it when you call me âMiss . ââ
Elsa agreed .
âEdgar . Hanna is Hanna . Thatâs what you should call her . â
âYes, I understand . âŠHanna . âŠIs that alright?â
âYes, that is fine . â
Hanna and Elsa nodded at the same time .
âWelcome back, Master Jin . And ElsaâŠwho is this?â
âAh, this is the automata that Elsa made . Edgar . â
Mineâs eyes widened at this . Her own daughter was now able to make such an advanced automata .
âI think Elsa has a gift . â
Jin added .
âI-is that true?â
âYes . It might have been better had she started earlier, but she can still learn so much even now . â
ââŠElsaâs father only had her educated as a noble, ever since she was little . He had no intention of nurturing any gifts she might have had . â
Mine looked very sad . Then Elsa called to her .
âMother . Brother Jin . What is it? Hurry up and come inside . â
Aside from Jin and Mine, the others had all gone into the house .
Â
After dinner was over, Jin and Elsa introduced Edgar once again .
âI barely did anything . I only gave a few suggestions and watched to make sure that there was nothing strange . And so Edgar is definitely Elsaâs creation . â
âWow! Sister Elsa!â
Hanna praised her without restraint and Martha also looked impressed .
âThat means that Sara can focus more on helping Martha and Mine now . â
Currently, Mine was working the most, and so there was less for Martha, the house golem maid, and Sara to do .
Well, they were also guards in a way, so Jin meant to maintain the current structure .
Â
Â
It was now the thirtieth of the fifth month .
Reinhart and Belcheâs wedding would be on the following day . And so Jin planned to return to the Shouro empire in the evening . But he intended to play with Hanna as much as possible until then . âBrother! Over here!â
Hanna rode on Mint and Jin rode on Koma as they went to the mountains . Reiko rode in front of Jin .
It was the same mountain they had gone to before to collect herbs .
âItâs been a while since we came here . â
âYes, thatâs right . â
Kaina village looked small from here . And the summer breeze felt very good .
Jin and Hanna lined their golem horses together and enjoyed the scenery in silence .
ââŠSister Elsa did so well . â
âHuh?â
Jin was surprised at this sudden declaration .
âShe didnât seem so reliable when she first came to the village . And she was a bad cook . â
Well, it wasnât too surprising, since she had lived as the daughter of a viscount up until then .
âBut she learned how to cook and can now clean and draw up water . â
ââŠâ
âAnd she teaches me and can use magic . And recently, she practices in the workshop late into the night when you are not around . â
It was a side of Elsa that he hadnât known . And now Hanna was telling him . Jin listened carefully .
âYou know, it was her who said that we should let you do what you want . â
He had had a feeling about it . But he was still happy to hear it from her directly .
ââŠAnd soâŠâ
Hanna stopped, as if organizing her thoughts . Then she started again .
âI decided that I need to do my best as well . ââYou?â
âI canât just be spoiled all the time . I need to be able to help you . â
Hanna said . Then she smiled like a flower .
âI donât know what I can do, since Iâm still small, but after I study a lot and grow upâŠâ
Hannaâs eyes had a serious light in them .
ââŠSo I can become your number one . â
Hanna said with red face . Then she jumped off of Mint and ran away . Jin sat there in surprise .
âFather, please run after Hanna . â
Reiko said . And so Jin dismounted Koma and chased after Hanna .
There was a great field of grass near the top of the mountain . Hanna was running in it .
âHanna!â
Jin called as he chased after her . Hanna turned around and stopped .
âBrother!â
Then she ran towards him and jumped into his arms . And like that, they fell onto the soft grass .
âBrotherâŠâ
Jin patted her gently on the head . Hannaâs cheeks turn red . She looked happy .
âHanna, thank you . â
Jin was a little sad that he couldnât say anything else . But they stayed there and enjoyed the smell of the grass and the early summer breeze for a while .
From afar, Reiko watched over them .
 Â
There was a time difference of about three hours between Kaina village and the Shouro empire . And so Jin needed to leave Kaina village at nine in the night in order to return on the promised time .
That was why Jin played with Hanna as much as he could during the day .
Â
And now it was nearly nine .
Jin had finished his preparations and was standing in front of the house .
âWell then, take care of things while Iâm gone . â
âMaster Jin, please give my regards to Reinhart . â
Reinhart knew that Jin was helping Mine, but Belche didnât know . Reinhart would probably tell her later .
As for Jin, he hoped that they would come to Kaina village as part of their honeymoon .
âBrother Jin . Please give them my present . â
The mascot doll that Elsa had made had been wrapped up neatly and given to Reiko .
âMaster Jin, you are leaving so soon again?â
Barou and Belle had also come out to see him off . He had decided to tell them of the existence of the âwarp gate . â
Along with the information that it could only be used with him and could only take them to select locations .
âJin, be careful . â
Martha looked at Jin and laughed .
âBrother, please take care . â
Hanna also laughed as she saw him off . A new tooth was starting to grow in place of the one that had come out .
âGood bye . â
And then Jin jumped into the warp gate and arrived in Hourai island and then teleported to the carriage in the Shouro empire .
