After the destruction of Gigarth, Jin and his group looked for Lukor on their way home, but they could not find him.

Perhaps the Unifilers were still watching him. Well, I am not a child, so I am not worried about his disappearance.

Underneath the hut of Lukor, we also found a fragment of a box which might have sealed the magical core of Gigarth.

According to the ancient writing on the box, it was left as a trap in case the ruins were discovered by the demon tribe.

If we channel magic power into the box out of curiosity, Gigarth will be activated.

Since the Unifilers must know about the ruins, I returned all the golems left behind to their original materials so that no one would find out their other secrets. There was no material that was particularly valuable, so I did not spare it.

Since the magic circle of the warp gate has been rewritten, it would not work properly even if it were reproduced. On the contrary, it might run out of control.

If the members of the Unifilers come here at a later date with the information from Lukor, they will get nothing, or rather, they will go back with a terrible souvenir.

Jin and the others went to the village of Yada with peace of mind.

"The best thing is Anne," Jin said.

Reinhardt affirmed this and tapped his pocket.

"This record of the war is also very valuable.

Jin looked at Anne and muttered.

Anyway, we have to repair it.

"Well, only Jin can do that. Please fix it.

But there are no such facilities in Yada village.

"Anyway, we should fix it while we are in the Kingdom of Egelea.

was Reinhardt's opinion. He added that now that the Kingdom of Celluloa was in trouble, Jin, the Honorary Magician Magi Craftsman, would be able to rent a workshop somewhere while he was still in the Kingdom of Egelea.

He would be able to fix it completely if he could bring it back to Horai Island, but it was still a secret from Reinhardt and the others. Jin gradually felt the hassle of keeping secrets and wanted to tell Reinhardt and the others everything.

The return trip was downhill, even though the road was bad. They were able to arrive at the village of Yada in the evening.

And then, as expected, Meane flew in.

"Miss!　I was worried that you were coming back late!"

That's all she said this time, no sarcasm toward Jin. Maybe she is learning a little.

"Ah, I'm so tired."

Somewhat tired, Jin went to his room at the inn and threw himself on the bed.

"Father, I will wake you up when dinner time comes.

Jin closes his eyes and thinks about today.

About Anne.

About Gigarth.

The system that absorbs mana. That was a close call. If Reiko had not been able to produce that much output.

All these things were going around in circles, and before Jin knew it, he had fallen asleep.

The sound of knocking echoes.

A knock sounded. That woke Jin up.

He sees Reiko going to open the door.

"Yes, what is it?"

Elsa is at the door.

"I'm here to pick up Jin-kun."

"I'm here to pick up Mr. Jin," she says. It was already dark outside, and dinner was about to be served.

Jin got up and walked to the door.

Her favorite young grass-colored dress. She was wearing a flower in her hair and a brooch on her chest that Jin had given her.

"Elsa?"

Elsa holds out her right hand to Jin, who can't understand why she is so dressed up for a dinner at an inn.

"I'm here to pick you up," she said. Come on, let's go."

"Ah, ah..."

With his head still spinning from sleep, Jin takes Elsa's hand and ...... rather than hers, she pulls him along the path to the cafeteria.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Jin was greeted with applause.

There was Reinhardt and his butler, Claude. Erza's butler, Adberg. And to his surprise, even Meane was there, applauding.

"Happy birthday, Jin-kun!

Elsa said as she took Jin's hand.

Jin did not understand what was happening for a moment, but then he finally understood what was going on,

"Thank you, everyone," she said finally.

He finally said, "Thank you, everyone.

Erza was the first one to see a single tear from his eye.

"Jin, kun?"

Erza looked into Jin's face with concern,

"Ah, ah... It's nothing. It's just that it's been a long time since I've had a birthday celebration like this. Then something happened.

He replies. Erza pulls Jin's hand,

"I could see something unexpected in you, Jin. Come this way, please."

As if he was the guest of honor, he seated him at the top of the table. I sat next to him.

Reinhardt's attendants quickly poured the wine, and when he saw that everyone had been served, he said, "Now, my friend, Honorary Magician of the Kingdom of Egelea, Honorary Magician Onorari Magikraft,

"Then, on the occasion of the 21st birthday of my friend Jin Nido, Honorary Magician Magi Craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea, I would like to propose a toast. Cheers!

I said.

Cheers!

Cheers!

The participants joined in.

"Jin, I could only do this on such short notice, but happy birthday.

Reinhardt said, and tears welled up in Jin's eyes again.

"Thank you."

It was a cliché, but it was all Jin could say.

"Yes, Jin."

When he saw that his glass of wine was empty, Erza poured it out herself.

"Thank you, Elsa."

"Nn. You've always been a great help to me, Jin-kun."

Erza looks somewhat mature as she replies in that way.

Then Reinhardt got up from his seat and came over,

"Jin, I don't have time to give you something like this. I brought it on behalf of all of you, but please accept it as a token of our feelings.

What he presented was a flat case about one size larger than a business card.

"It's a case to put your guild registration card in.

Speaking of which, it looks like it is just the right size. The material seems to be silver. The front is inlaid with gold. It seems to have the word "Jin" written in decorative letters. It must have been made by Reinhardt.

"Thank you, I will treasure it."

Jin says and puts the case in his breast pocket.

In the meantime, Elsa was sharing the fruit with him.

"Here you go."

"Here you go." "Thank you."

Tonight, Jin is always thanking her, but it is strangely comforting.

The meal that night was one of the most enjoyable meals Jin had ever had in his 21 years of life.

A warm spring evening breeze was blowing in the village of Yada.

From somewhere, petals of query flew in and added a flutter of light red color to the window sill.
