"Jin, come back again! Next time, teach me how to make a golem slowly!
said Prince Ernest the 3rd.
Jin, I hope to see you again. I'd like to see Bina with a cute baby in her arms.

Count Kuzma said.
"Jin,...... I can't say much more than the usual, but thank you ...... for everything. I will never forget the last few days. I'll never forget going to Conlonteau.
Bina said.

There were many other guards who were looking at Reiko as if they were worshipping her, and many other maidens who looked like they were leaving her behind.
At 9:00 a.m., Jin and his party left the capital, Asunto, after being seen off by these people.
The king said, "King, let's go!

"King, are you sure you want me to go?
asked the Prime Minister in the throne room.
He is dangerous. His skill, his knowledge, his abilities, and the automaton that follows him. All of them could be a threat.

I understand. But I don't think this djinn has ambition. Ernesto misses him too.
But ......!
What if we make a mistake and he turns completely against us? That one automaton, Leco, could take on my entire army.

The king looked up at the ceiling,
"Then it would be to our advantage to act as friendly as possible."
"............"

After leaving the throne room,
"Sweet."
the Prime Minister muttered.

"There is no guarantee that we will not turn against them. There is even the possibility that they will kidnap you and force you to follow them. It's not too late, send someone to ......."
At that moment, a man approached me.
"Is something wrong, Prime Minister?"

It was the magic minister, Kelihidole. The Prime Minister spoke of his concerns,
"Well, I agree with the Prime Minister on the big picture. According to the report that has just come in, that djinn possesses tremendous magical power. After all, it is said that he turned a golem that had been destroyed and discarded into material all at once.
The magic that Jin performed recently to turn scrap into material by <

For example, a transistor amplifies an electric current, but only with a proper power source. It is never something out of nothing.
The same is true of eladolite. Without a magi crystal, which is the source of magical power, it is impossible to release amplified magic.
Because Eladrite and its operation are state secrets, Jin, who had no such knowledge, was unaware of this fact. Of course, Stearina was there, too.

That was one of the reasons why they only told him that Elradorite amplifies magic power.
"But personally, I'd like to be friends with him.
Since even the Minister of Magic had said this about Jin, Marquis Boyd Norse Galuelli, the Prime Minister of Japan, said, "Hmmm...

He instructed his subordinates, "We must at least keep an eye on them.

"Oh, this coach is really comfortable.
"Yes. I want to ride in it from now on.
Reinhardt rode in Jin's carriage for the first time that day and was amazed at how comfortable it was. Erza seemed to like it very much and sat down next to Jin as if it were natural.

"No wonder the prince wants this one.
Yesterday, that is, March 17, I had spent the whole day building a carriage exclusively for Prince Ernest and also teaching the guild about the structure of this carriage with a suspension system using a golem arm. Of course, it is not a prince's carriage, but a carriage for the prince.
Of course, even though it was exclusively for the prince, it was not equipped with air conditioning. Even the output of the golem horse was a degraded version of Jin's carriage, with the output of the golem horse reduced to 10 percent.

It was a pity that the material control officer turned pale in spite of this.
The same goes for the structure that he taught to the guild.
Nevertheless, it is innovative as a carriage and may become the mainstream in the future.

"And an autonomous golem horse. I like this one."
Now that they have left the capital and there are not many people around, Reiko is back in the cabin and the golem horse is leading the carriage by itself.
For a while after leaving the capital city of Asunto, the landscape remained rural, but gradually the houses became sparser and sparser.

Then we saw a row of red stakes, and after that, not even a shadow of a house could be seen. Not a single shack was to be seen.
However, with meadows and forests, the environment did not seem to be bad at all.
"This area north of Asund is owned by the royal family," Reinhardt explained.

Reinhard explains.
"See the red stakes? There are precious medicinal herbs and rare flowers growing beyond that point, so they restrict the area in various ways.
It's a protected area.

"Are people allowed here?"
Jin asked,
"No, individuals are not allowed. Individuals are allowed to collect medicinal herbs.

As long as they do not collect in large quantities.
"However, cultivating land and grazing are not allowed.
This is normal in a protected area.

"So you can't even live here?"
No wonder there are no people there.
The carriage drives on, admiring the landscape that has been kept in its natural state.

Then, near noon, the red pile is seen again.
"Hey, we're finally through the reserve," Reinhardt said.
Reinhard said.

"It's almost noon, let's go somewhere nice for lunch.
Normally there would be a village or a town, but the protected area is surrounded by nothing but nature.
"Actually, this course is not the main highway. If it were the main road, there would be a proper station.

Reinhardt says something like that.
"Then why?"
Erza answered Jin's natural question.

Jin-kun. You'll understand that in a little while.
"?"
We left the question for now and drove the carriage a little further.

After about 10 minutes, the view opens up and I see a bright reddish-purple color.
"Oh?"
I exclaimed to Jin,

"Huh, are you surprised? I was surprised when I saw it for the first time too.
Spread out before my eyes was a reddish-purple carpet. It turned out to be a flower garden.
"I wanted to have lunch here, so I asked him to come this way."

He had passed by here by chance when he traveled here some years ago, and the view had stuck in his mind's eye.
I wanted to show this view to Jin-kun. That's why I asked my brother Rai to let me pass this way.
"Oh, I see. Yes, it's a beautiful view. Thank you, Elsa."

"Yeah. I'm glad you like it."
A little further down the road, there was a square where we could park the carriage.
"Come on, let's have lunch."

Meane, in an unusually good mood, leads the way in preparing lunch.
They spread out a rug right next to the flower garden,
"Here you go, ladies and gentlemen".

Slices of hard bread, similar to French bread, are served with warm soup.
The same bread is baked a little, then sliced meat is put on top and baked some more.
Salad prepared in the morning.

Tea.
It was the first day on the road, so they had everything they needed to prepare the meal.
"Yes, it's good!"

Reinhard compliments on the food.
"Meine, this is delicious!
"It's good." "Thank you."

The soup was seasoned to Erza's liking, and of course she enjoyed it.
This time Meane did not cause any problems, so the lunch ended in harmony.
"We'll be in the next town in less than an hour, so let's take it easy.

Reinhardt said as he looked out over the flower garden,
"Yes, three lives."
Erza ran into the flower garden with joy.

Jin also approached the flower garden. He sits down, picks a flower, and holds it in front of him.
The small reddish-purple flowers clumped together. Each tiny flower looks much like a pea flower.
"It looks like a lotus flower," he said.

The small rice field behind the orphanage, where they used to sow the seeds of lentils for fertilizer in the spring.
For the first time in a long time, Jin remembered the world he used to live in.
He could hear the sound of young children's laughter and see them running around.

"Father?"
Reiko, perhaps noticing Jin's unusual appearance, sat down beside him and looked into his face before he knew it.
Is something wrong?"

"...... No, nothing. I was just thinking about the past.
"Long time ago? The world where your father used to live?
"Yes."

When Jin nodded, Reiko looked worried,
"Um, does your father feel annoyed that I've invited you here?"
She asked him with a hint of sarcasm. Jin shook his head,

Reiko's brow furrows as she replies, "That's all right, then,
"That's all right then. It's just that your father's face looked sad.

Saying this, she gently takes Jin's left hand in hers.
Jin and Reiko stayed like that for a while.
Jin and Reiko stayed like that for a while, and then Jin suddenly thought of something. He picked up a few linden bushes and started to make something.

"Father?"
Reiko looked at him quizzically. Jin picked and twisted them one after another, and then wove them into a braid,
"Now, it's done!"

He was making a crown of flowers. And then..,
"Here, Reiko."

I turned around to see Elsa standing there, wondering when she had returned. She lifted the hem of her skirt a little and put the flowers she had picked in it.
"Hi, Elsa. You have gathered a lot of flowers.
The flowers Elsa had gathered included white and yellow flowers, except for the rhododendrons. There were also white and yellow flowers mixed in among the flowers Elsa collected.

When Jin saw them, he said,
"Do you want a crown of flowers, Elsa?
Elsa nodded her head. Jin immediately started to make another one.

Most of it is made of lotus flowers. He then adds a yellow flower that Erza had picked to accentuate the crown.
"It's done. Here, Elsa."
Jin then placed the crown on Erza's head. Erza's cheeks flushed a little,

she says shyly.
It was a warm spring day in the late afternoon.
