The next morning, Jin woke up early and went out on the balcony in the center of the second floor.

It was the beginning of March. The sea breeze blowing from the distant sea smelled like spring.

"Jin-kun, good morning.

I turned around to see Erza standing there. She was still wearing her nightgown of magical silk.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?

Erza said yes,

"Tatami. Futon. It was very comfortable."

Jin was relieved,

"What?　Tatami?"

Erza nodded her head,

"The golem maid laid them out for me when I complained."

"Aqua?　Heh, that's very thoughtful of you."

Jin was impressed even though he had made it himself. The girls have a magical link with Jin and Reiko, so they seem to have been growing little by little.

"This is a nice place."

Erza said as she stood next to Jin and looked at the view from the balcony.

"Ha-ha, thank you."

Hitoshi replied, and since Erza was still in her nightclothes,

"Aren't you cold?"

He then took off his own jacket and hung it over hers.

Erza accepted it with a slight blush on her cheeks,

"......Thank you. Jin-kun, you put your jacket on me before ......."

She said.

"Today, after breakfast, I'll take you to the Blue Lands.

"Hmm. I really want to stay longer, but I can't help it.

Saying this, he leaned closer to Jin.

"Good morning!　Jin!"

Jin's voice was cheerful. Erza quickly let go of Jin's body and turned around. Jin also turned around,

"Good morning, Bina. You're early.

"Yes, the morning comes early for the common people.

Beena glances at Erza who is wearing Jin's jacket. Bina, who had already changed into her normal clothes, whispered,

(I should have come in my nightgown too ......)

(I should have come in my nightgown, too. ).

"What?"

(I should have come in my nightgown.) She didn't seem to hear me because she was whispering.

"Nothing!　It's a nice view here."

"Isn't it?　Look, you can see the ocean in the distance."

"Oh, yes. That's the ocean."

It was a peaceful morning.

After finishing breakfast, Jin once again moves to the Blue Lands, this time accompanied by < and the horse golem.

This time, since they were all wearing pants, they each rode their horse golems that they had been riding since yesterday.

In less than an hour, we were at the edge of the forest.

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to get off your horses here.

I remember exactly what Reinhard had said to me yesterday. We should avoid unnecessary displays of skill.

"I'm sorry to see you go."

Reinhardt, who had given his own advice, was the first to get off his horse, followed by Erza and Bina.

"Thank you, Koma."

Jin sent them on their way,

"Well, let's go."

With these words, they started walking toward Blueland. Reiko followed with her luggage, and Elsa and Bina hurriedly jumped into Jin's hands.

Reinhardt walked slowly alone, watching the scene.

In the suburbs of Blue Land, where spring is almost here, the grass is starting to sprout and you can smell the fragrance of spring when you step on it.

"Jin, will you stay at my house today?　I want to show Nana and Lardo that I'm back on my feet.

Bina tugged on Jin's arm and said,

"No. Jin is my brother Rai's guest. He stays with us.

Erza did not back down either.

"Well, Jin is staying with Count Kuzma anyway.

Reinhardt, who couldn't bear to look at them, calmed them down.

Reiko was surprisingly not in a bad mood. She is probably reassured by Jin's comment yesterday that they are like sisters. I guess she is relieved by the fact that Jin said yesterday that they are like sisters.

After a short walk, we see the walls of Breuland.

"Oh, they are already here to pick us up.

I saw two carriages, Adberg the butler, and Meene the nanny standing in front of the castle wall.

When Meine saw the group, she turned bloodthirsty and flew to them.

"Miss!

Meine, who had run as fast as a sprinter, hugged Erza, who was standing next to Jin,

"Are you all right?　You didn't do anything, did you?　Why did you stay away from home without permission?

She was so quick to get to the point. Reinhardt laughed,

"Come on, Meine, you can't just go AWOL when I'm with you, can you?"

But Meane shakes her head,

"No, I don't think it's right for a bride-to-be to stay overnight in a man's house.

She refuses to budge.

"Meine, it means that you don't trust your daughter and Mr. Reinhardt. How many times do I have to tell you?

Adberg said. He continued,

"Jin-sama is a guest of the master of the family, Reinhardt-sama. If you are going to demean him to such an extent, it means that you are neglecting Mr. Reinhardt, doesn't it?

Meine looked down in frustration when she was told that much,

"......Yes,......I am sorry,Miss,Reinhardt-sama,......"

She apologized.

"Meane, if you are going to apologize, you should apologize to Jin-sama too."

Adberg said to her, and she bit her lip and bowed her head toward Jin, saying in a trembling, small voice, "I'm sorry.

Jin was relieved that she apologized, since he had been worried that Reiko, who had been giving off a deadly vibe, might jump on him at any moment.

"Jin, Meine doesn't mean to hurt you either, please forgive her. She just has a bad habit of going a little off the rails when it comes to Erza."

"Yes, I know. Meine is just always worried about me."

Reinhardt and Erza say this in defense of Meene, but Jin doesn't care anymore.

Jin then starts to walk away. He walks away with Bina still attached to his right arm.

Erza sees this and looks at Meane reproachfully.

Reinhardt, Erza, Adberg, and Meene use a carriage, and Jin, Reiko, and Beena use a carriage to go to the castle of Breuland.

Jin, who was seeing the castle for the first time, was looking around with interest.

Bina saw this and said

"By the way, Jin has never been inside the castle walls before, right?

"That's right, isn't it?

"Inside, it's divided into sections. The right side of the central street is for the nobles, and the left side is for the wealthy and the high-end stores.

Jin looks at the townscape again.

The carriage is now running on the central avenue, and there are indeed mansions on the right and stores on the left.

Count Kuzma's house is quite close to the center of the city.

From this, we could infer that Count Kuzma has such an important position in the Blue Lands.

"Oh, I see it. That's Count Kuzma's residence.

Bina pointed to a particularly magnificent mansion.
