Reinhardtâs father, mother, his butler Claude, and their maids saw them off . Reinhardtâs brothers had already returned to their posts .
Jin drove the golem horse from the carriage . As Jin had expected, Belchâs automata Neon and Reinhardtâs Schwarzlitter Noir  were with the couple .
The carriage arrived behind Sakiâs house . They chose this place because it wasnât very visible to those passing by .
The surrounding area was densely populated with trees measuring 5 to 10 meters tall and unmanaged shrubs, blocking the view from outside .
âAlright, I know this is abrupt but were going through the gatelike thisâ
Jin turned his carriage towards the recently put together warp gate .
The Reinhardts were silent . Being transferred while riding a whole carriage was a rare experience .
âHe . . Here . âŚâŚ WE GO! â
In an instant, the carriage moved into the portal dimension .
âWeâll leave the carriage here . âŚâŚ So uhh sorry, but Reinhard and Belch, youâll have to get off of the carriage . â
âAlrightâ
âUnderstood . â
Noir carried both their bags .
âBy the way, where are we?â
âOh, this is like an intermediate transit stop . Once weâre here, we transfer to where we want to go . The carriage will be stored here until weâre back . â
Since it was her first time using a warp gate, Belch looked around uneasily, not knowing what to make of it .
âAlright, letâs goâ
Jin was the first to enter the warp gate to Kaina Village, followed by Reinhardt and Belch . Neon and Noir followed after . Finally, Reiko passed through last .
Like last time with Saki, they appeared inside the shelter .
âJin, where are we?â
âWeâre already in Kaina village . Weâre inside a shelter on the outskirts of the village . â
Telling them this, he led them outside . The sky was clear and sunny in Kaina Village .
âJi, Jin! Whatâs that building!? Is it yours!?â
He saw Nido Castle and gave a natural reaction .
âWelcome home Jin . ⌠ and we welcome you too, nobleman from before . â
âWeâre indebted to you for your help back then . â
Barrow and Bele had come down from the castle and greeted Reinhardt after noticing him .
âOh, itâs you two from before . Glad to see youâre both looking well . â
âYeah, Jin helped us back up and weâve almost fully recovered since then . â
Reinhardt explained to Belch what happened to Barrow and Bele .
âIs that right, you both went through a lot . â
âYes, but weâre happy now . â
Â
 Upon hearing this, Belch smiled . It was nice to that hear people in the village were living happily .
âWell then, can you carry their luggage to a guest room? Letâs see, a Shouro-style room on the second floor would be good . â
âOf course . â
Having entrusted their baggage to Barrow and Bele, Jin began guiding Reinhardt and Belch around Kaina Village .
âIâll have you both stay at the castle tonight, so Iâll get into the details later . â
Having told them so, he proceeded to take them down a small path to the village .
They walked through the wheat and vegetable fields . Ahead of them was Marthaâs home .
âIs that, thereâs no way âŚâ
Belch raised her voice . Two familiar people were standing there .
âSaki?! And, next to her isâŚâ
The person standing next to Saki spoke up .
âBrother Rei! Belch! Welcome to Kaina Villageâ
âElsa!â
Belch wore a face of shock . .
âYou, how are you here?â
Reinhardt explained to Belch .
Elsa had left her home . She was captured by Unify . Then, Jin helped her escape and sheâs been laying low here ever since .
Mine was her real mother .
âSo thatâs what happened âŚâ
Belch held Elsaâs hand, still amazed at seeing her .
âThanks for worrying about me . Iâm happy now . âThen Elsa took Reinhardtâs hand .
âRei, Belch, congratulations on your marriage . â
âThank you, Elsa . By the way, did you make that mascot? â
âYup . I made it . Jin helped . â
âI thought soâ
Jin spoke up .
âWell, letâs go inside . Weâve got a lot of story telling to do so . âŚâŚ Though it isnât my house to invite people into . â
Jin led them towards Marthaâs House .
âThis is the household that  took care of me . â
Reinhardt seemed to understand the short explanation .
âI see, so it was this kind of place . Is that why you became so invested in this village, Jin?â
âReinhard and Belch! Congratulations on your recent marriage .
Coming out from inside the house, Mine bowed deeply and greeted them .
âThank you, Mineâ
âMine, itâs been a long time . I hear youâre Elsaâs mother? â
Belch also greeted her with a smile .
âYes, thanks to Jin, Iâm living happily with Elsa now . â
They all went inside .
As one would expect, it was impossible for everyone to fit in the house, so they went to Jinâs workshop instead .
It was spacious there so they could all sit down . Of course, Ehr, Neon, Edgar, and Reiko each stood behind their Masters . Â
âHere you areâ
Mine and Sara served Peruhya tea, a Kaina Village specialty .
After a sip, Jin introduced Martha and Hannah .
âThis is Martha and this is her granddaughter Hannah . Theyâre my family in Kaina Village . â
âIâm Martha, nice to meet you . â
âMe, Hannahâ
âIâm Reinhardtâ
âAnd Iâm his wife⌠Belchâ
They greeted each other in various ways . Even though Reinhardt was a nobleman, he interacted with many people during his journey, so he wasnât overwhelmed .
As Belch was polite in situations like this, Martha and others seemed to get a good impression of her .
For a while, they chatted about trifling matters, but the topic gradually turned to Magicraft .
They talked about Jin making pumps, stoves, hot springs, snow rooms and washing machines .
Then they talked about how Edgar, who stood behind Elsa, was made .
â⌠. . Unbelievableâ
This was the first thing out of Reinhardtâs mouth when he heard Elsa made Edgar .
âElsa, thatâs amazing! You can totally hold your own now!â
Belch praised her honestly .
âBy the way, there was actually something I wanted to discuss, or rather ask you two about . â
Thinking it was a good opportunity, Jin asked the Reinhardtâs about an idea heâd been considering for a while .
âDo you think Elsa is ready to stand on her own as a magic engineer in the Shouro Empire?â
