The next morning, in front of the gates of Breuland.
"Ah, here they come!

Jin, who had been waiting for a while, saw a carriage coming out of the gate. It is the familiar Reinhardt four-horse carriage.
The carriage stops in front of Jin and Reiko, the door opens, and Reinhardt and Erza come out.
And then Adberg, Elsa's butler, and Meine, her nanny, got out as well.

And finally, someone Jin did not expect, the red-haired girl, Beena, came out at the end.
"Jin! I missed you!"
As soon as she landed on the ground, Beena ran up to Jin and said, "I missed you so much!

"You just said what you wanted to say and left! I wanted to thank you properly ......!"
Bina was only a little smaller than Jin, but she was on her tiptoes and her eyes were just as powerful as Jin's, so I said to her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
"I'm sorry."

Jin couldn't help apologizing while bending down. However, perhaps he couldn't help but apologize to Jin, or perhaps he had his own feelings about Bina's attitude,
"It's not right for you to apologize, Jin-kun. You should move further away."
Erza came between them and pulled Bina away from Jin.

"Ummm...okay...okay...okay...okay...okay...okay...okay...okay. ...... Jin, you don't have to apologize. I just wanted to thank you.
The three of them watched the scene.
Reinhardt smiled at Elsa's gesture,

Adberg, the butler, looked at her as if he were dazzled by her change,
Adberg, the butler, looked at Erza as if she were dazzling him, and Meine, the nanny, stared at Jin.
"Well, Jin, Miss Bina insisted on seeing you, so I brought you here.

Jin answered that it was not. And then,
"The warp gate is set up so that only two people can come together. ......
"Yes, I know. Actually, Count Kuzma said he would at least say hello, but he couldn't come because he had some political business to attend to. So Adberg and Meane are just going to see him off.

But this Meine..,
"Mr. Reinhardt! Are you really planning to go to such a strange place alone with just the two of you?
She's grumbling. She didn't seem to notice Reiko's eyes on her.

Reinhardt restrained her and said
"It's all right. I'm here, and you know how much Jin cared about Erza during the trip."
"That's true, but ......"

Adberg was still not convinced, but he was quieting her down with something.
"Jin! I'm also ...... not ...... allowed to go to your house?"
While Reinhardt and the others were talking, Bina was saying the thing she wanted to say the most.

"I've been thinking about you ever since you helped me. Please!"
Jin wondered what to do.
The reason why they built the house on Horai Island was originally to prepare for the situation when they decided to bring Beena with them.

But what about the fact that he said that he could only bring two people with him?
He must have read Jin's thoughts,
"Father, I think I can take at least one person with me.

Reiko offered a helping hand.
"I see. Then, I think we can manage.
Jin then turned to the group,

"Well, the warp gate only reacts to my magic. And if you're caught in my hands, we can go together. That's why I said two people, but I heard that Reiko can take at least one person with her.
That's how he explains it. The explanation was a bit complicated, but it was fortunate for Jin that he did not get into any particular problem with the artifact, a warp gate, or something like that.
"Then please send me to ......."

Meine was still grumbling, but Adberg took the liberty of dragging her into the carriage, which quieted her down.
"Well, let's go."
Jin started to walk away, followed by Reinhard, Erza and Bina. Reiko was the leader of the group.

Soon Erza was standing next to Jin, and she wrapped her left arm around his right arm. Bina saw this and clung to Jin's left arm.
Reinhardt watched from behind, smiling,
"Your father is a hard man to deal with, isn't he?

Reiko was walking behind him. Reiko looked unhappy.
After 10 minutes of walking, Reinhardt, Erza, and of course Bina did not look tired, but Jin stopped,
"Koma!

Jin stopped and called his horse Golem, "Koma!
The horse golem,
"What is this?"

Bina's face turned red when she saw this,
"...... sounds interesting."
Elsa's face lit up,

"A horse golem! That's what I'm talking about, Jin!"
Reinhardt exclaimed.
"It's a golem horse. This is how you ride it."

Jin let go of Elsa and Bina's arms, and stepped onto the frame.
"Hold it here and twist it like this to make it move. It is also autonomous, so you can just ride it as long as you tell it where to go.
To tell the truth, I realized in the morning that it would be a waste of time to make Reinhardt and the others walk the distance to the warp gate, so I hastily created the golem horses except for <

"Oh, I'm wearing a skirt..."
Bina blushed and said,
"Ugh..."

Jin didn't notice that. But Erza didn't seem to mind, and was already astride the golem horse.
"Jin-kun, this is fun."
Erza is skillfully operating the handlebars and letting the horse walk around the area. She looks down at Bina and seems to be smiling.

"Yeah, I hadn't thought of that."
Reinhardt is also riding around on one of the other horses, trying out different things.
Originally, they had planned to bring only two people, so there are only two golem horses.

(Should we ask them to ride with Erza? No, it would be dangerous to ride with Erza who is not used to riding with them.)
) The speed limiter is set, but I am not sure if it is safe to do so.
So, it's Jin's .

"I guess it can't be helped."
So, Jin walked up to Beena's side and said,
"Come on, Beena, get on this side," he said.

He held out his hand.
At first she did not seem to understand what he was saying. >>At first she didn't seem to understand what he meant, but then she understood what he was trying to say,

"Come on, let's go. I've been interested in Jin's house for a long time!"
Jin, Erza, and Reinhardt head for the forest in that order. Reiko takes the ranger position, keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Well, I know that there are only small animals and birds in this forest.

We move forward at a speed slightly faster than that of a human walker.
In less than half an hour, we have arrived at the foot of a large rock deep in the forest.
"Now, get off the horse here," he said.

With these words, he dismounted himself first, and then helped Bina down to the ground.
Reinhardt was the first to get off by himself,
"Here, Elsa," he said.

He tried to help her up, but she said, "No,
I can get off by myself."
She said a little sulkily and jumped down.

Jin led the group around the big rock to a cave behind it.
"Here is the entrance. Take my hand. "Take my hand and you won't get caught in the warding.
With that, he put out his hand and Beena quickly grabbed his right hand and Erza quickly grabbed his left hand.

"Uh, Reinhardt, take Reiko's hand. Reiko, please."
"Yes, father."
Reiko held out her hand to Reinhardt with an expression of disgust on her face and Reinhardt took her hand with a wry smile.

Reiko's hand was softer than he had expected, and he was surprised to feel something like body heat.
"Well then, let's go.
With these words, Jin walked through the cave. Bina and Elsa entered the cave along with him.

"It's so bright!
Both were surprised to see that it was brighter than expected inside.
"It's because the warp gate is equipped with a small light.

Jin indicated the warp gate at the back of the room. With both hands occupied, I thought it was bad manners to do so, but I did it with my chin.
"Oh! That's the warp gate!"
Reinhardt is excited to see the real thing for the first time. But Jin..,

"Come on, let's go!"
He says, "Let's go!" and steps toward the warp gate.
Erza and Bina hesitated, but since they were holding hands with Jin, they were pulled by his hand and jumped into the warp gate.

In an instant, the scenery changes and the group emerges from the stone basement.
Reiko and Reinhardt come out of the warp gate a little later. Finally,

Jin releases their hands and bows lightly to them,
