It is the 25th of April in the village of Kaina.

The sun is shining strongly, and the days are beginning to feel like early summer.

The mountains are covered with fresh green, and the ears of wheat in the fields are growing. The wind no longer blows cold, but feels pleasant.

An addition was being built to Martha's house.

Jin's workshop, which was used by Martha's late husband who was a blacksmith, was about 6 tatami mats in size.

The plan is to double the size of the workshop to 12 tatami mats and build a two-story building to create a living space.

Since Elsa and Meane were going to live together in Martha's house, Jin decided to take this opportunity to make a proper place for them.

"Oh Jin, I'm here to help you ......, it's already half finished!"

The men of the village of Kaina took turns coming in and helping out in their spare time from work.

As usual, Jin is using his engineering magic to process logs to make pillars and floorboards.

Gon and Gen are doing the heavy work such as putting up the pillars, and Reiko is helping them, so the pillars and floors are put up in no time at all.

By mid-morning, 80% of the building was finished, not just the front.

After lunch, the interior was done in the afternoon.

"It's amazing what magecraftsmen can do, isn't it?

Everyone who came to see the house was surprised at how quickly it was being built. But..,

"Well, it's a gin.

But, "Well, it's a djinn," is a satisfactory response in the village of Kaina.

The exterior of the house is a two-story building with a single-flow roof, with a workshop on the first floor and a residence on the second floor.

The front of the first floor has a large frontage with a large overhanging eave called a dobisashi. When the weather is fine, one can work under the eaves.

The basement was also dug and used as a storage area for materials. Of course, a small warp gate was secretly installed.

On the second floor, there are two 6-mat rooms. The room immediately after the stairs is the living room, and the study and bedroom are in the back.

The bedroom is a wooden floor, but it is a room where one takes off one's shoes, which was an obsession of Jin, who is Japanese.

"Onii-chan, can I go that way?"

Hannah calls Jin from downstairs.

Hannah has been following Jin since this morning, watching him work. She is now looking around the rooms. The only house with a second floor is the village headman's house, so it must be unusual for her.

"Oh, it's fine."

He had just finished cleaning the second floor, so he made sure that there were no more wood chips or other dangerous things on the floor.

"Yay!"

Hannah came up to the window. She quickly got to work on the window.

"Wow, what a nice view!

The view of the village from the second floor looks different.

"Ah, I can see the wells. "There's the house of the sound waves..." Hannah is excited.

Hannah is excited.

By the way, there is no dining room or kitchen, but that's because Martha..,

"I won't forgive you if you say we eat separately!

Martha insisted, "I won't allow you to have separate meals! Jin gratefully accepted the offer.

Instead, he made some modifications to Martha's house, and reconstructed the entrance and kitchen door so that Jin's house and Martha's house were facing each other so that they could easily come and go.

"Father, the roof is finished.

Reiko, who was in charge of the roofing work since she was the lightest, came downstairs.

"Thank you very much, Reiko!"

"Yes, Hannah-chan."

Reiko smiled at Hanna,

"All that's left is a desk, a chair and a bed.

She said to Hitoshi. Jin nodded,

"Oh. Linus is going to make that for me as a housewarming gift.

Linus, one of the men in the village, was surprisingly good at woodworking. Most of the tables and chairs in the village are made by him.

He told me, "I can't compete with you, but it's just a feeling.

That's what he told me. So Jin reminded Reiko not to be stingy with him.

"Brother Jin, I see Mr. Linus.

This time Elsa's voice came from downstairs. Looking down from the window, he saw Linus carrying a wooden bed in a wheeled cart.

Jin hurried down the stairs,

"Mr. Linus, thank you for coming all the way.

Linus smiled and waved his hand. Linus smiled and waved his hand,

Linus laughed and waved his hand and said, "What the hell are you talking about, this is not even a tenth of what you did for us.

He said.

"First of all, we need a bed. After you put this down, I'll bring you a table and a chair.

"Thank you very much. Reiko, you'll have to carry them.

"Yes."

Reiko nodded and carried the bed easily. Linus watched her go,

"Jin's not bad, but Reiko's amazing, isn't she?

Linus looked at her and said, "Jin is great, but Reiko is amazing, too.

In the end, the renovation was completed in one day, and the evening was a small celebration of the completion.

The members of the party were the organizers Jin, Reiko (who didn't eat and drink), Hannah, Martha, Elsa, and Meane.

We will send a box of citrons to all those who helped us tomorrow.

"Well then, thank you very much for your help today!"

Jin, congratulations on the house!

Congratulations, Jin!

"Congratulations, brother Jin!

"Congratulations, Jin-sama!

Everyone chanted with smiles on their faces.

Then we enjoyed Martha and Meane's thoughtful cooking. No, no, no..,

"Brother Jin, I made this soup.

Erza said, "I made this soup too.

"Yes, it's delicious. Elsa must be working hard at cooking too.

"Yeah."

"Hey, girl, girl... I chopped vegetables and peeled citron too!

Hannah also shows off her cooking skills.

"Oh, Hannah, thank you. It's delicious."

"Heh heh heh!"

Martha's house is peaceful, and the village of Kaina is quietly closing in. It was a day that made me want to continue saying, "All is well that ends well.

After dinner, Meane reported to Jin.

"Jin-sama, we are going to start a study group tomorrow.

Meane explained that she had told him a while ago that she would teach him how to read, write, and calculate.

"We'll start at the village headman's house for a couple of hours a day.

"Yes, the chief's living room is very spacious.

The chief's house has a large room that is sometimes used for village meetings. Meane told them that they could use it for the meeting.

"That's good to hear. Good luck. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

Meane smiled and bowed as Jin said this.

"Yes, thank you. Erza said she would work with me too, so I'm fine.

"I see. Erza too. You'll be fine.

Brother Jin...

Erza seems to like children. Knowing this, Jin thought that Erza herself might be a surprisingly good stimulus.

"I'll get the pens and pencils for the scribbling.

Jin, who had an idea, suggested.

"Well, are you sure?　At first I was thinking of writing on the stone slab with water."

When water is poured on a flat stone slab, it changes color. He was thinking of using this,

"No, I have something better. I will give it to you tomorrow."

With these words, Jin accepted the offer.
