"Hannah is wearing a light blue one-piece dress. She should wear a white sash around her waist and tie it with a bow at the back.
Taking Erza's advice, Jin made Hanna's dress.
She kept it simple like a commoner. However, he decided to use a color that would give a sense of refinement, so a one-piece dress was made. The sleeves are short-sleeved for spring.

The fabric is magi silk. It is light and has a nice texture.
"Hmmm...girl, I want an apron too..."
Hannah pleaded with me, so I made a white apron instead of an obi, and made the strings wider.

"Wow, that's great!"
The clothes were being made while she was watching. Hannah's excitement was building.
"Okay, it's done. Would you like to try it on?

Jin said, and Hannah took off her clothes on the spot,
"Yes!
with a big smile on her face.

"Wow, it feels so nice."
Hannah was a little puzzled by the different texture from the linen clothes she had been wearing, but then she looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Wow, this feels so good!
"Wow, is this me? Thank you, Onii-chan!

and she was so happy.
Next was Elsa's clothes.
"Erza looked good in the young grass-colored dress, didn't she?

Jin said, and Erza nodded.
She nodded. I like that color.
So we made a simple A-line dress from the same magi silk. The design is the same as Hannah's.

Common people don't wear clothes with elaborate designs. They also rarely wear decorations such as lace and ribbons.
Incidentally, both skirts are below the knee. Socks were white and ankle-length for both girls.
"And then there are the shoes.

We made moccasin-like shoes out of hexenbiest leather. Dark brown. This is also very folksy.
So Elsa and Hannah are dressed in simple outfits of similar design. The difference is that Hannah wears an apron.
However, they are made of magi silk and leather of magical beasts, both rare materials. At first glance, they look ordinary, but they are about five times more durable.

Since there was still some time left, Jin decided to make a necklace for Hannah while explaining it to Erza, since it was a good opportunity.
Hannah peeked at him, not understanding what he was doing.
"I think I'll use magic quartz, since it seems to go with any color.

Magiquartz is a white to colorless crystal with a weak light attribute. It is also used for Reiko's eyes. However, the main reason why Jin chose it is that it is indistinguishable from ordinary quartz crystal.
Quartz is a common mineral, and it is not surprising that common people wear it, but its value is 100 times different. Well, unless you look at them with the magic of analysis, you cannot distinguish them.
The design is not elaborate, but spherical. It is fastened with a clasp of light silver and worn around the neck on a chain of light silver as well. The color of the light silver is a slightly dull silver, giving it a cheap look.

Wearing something too expensive would arouse suspicion, and if he is attacked for it, it would be a complete disaster.
Finally, Jin put magic power into the item so that it would serve as a marker when searching for it with the magi radar.
"Hannah, here's another present for you.

"Wow, can I have this? Thank you, Onii-chan!
But Hanna knows with her own eyes that Jin had made it for her, so she is overjoyed.
Hannah immediately put it around her neck and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"Hannah, you're so cute!"
Erza looked at Hanna with narrowed eyes.
Finally, Jin told Reiko to bring Licia's short sword.

"Brother Jin, what is this?"
Erza asked in a quizzical tone,
"Oh, this belongs to an acquaintance of mine. I decided to go to Alban partly to return it to him.

I replied.
"Hmm. ......"
Elsa's eyes are slightly sad as she gazes at the shortsword. Jin has an idea why.

"Erza, are you perhaps remembering that dagger?
It was a gift that Jin once gave to Elsa on her birthday. He had left it with her when he refused to accept an engagement that did not suit him and renounced his position as a nobleman.
"....... It was a gift from my brother Jin.

Erza answered, still a little sad. Then Jin said,
"Well, I'll give you something suitable for the present Erza.
Jin said.

"What kind of gift?"
Erza was curious.
"Probably a knife, since common people don't carry swords.

"A knife, yes, that's fine."
Elsa seemed to understand. Then Hannah, who has been frolicking in front of the mirror, comes in.
"What are you guys doing?"

"Yes, we are making a present for Elsa.
Jin answered. Hearing this, Hannah looked interested.
"Well, you'll just have to watch. "And watch Elsa, too.

Jin prepared light silver.

Forming is applied in succession. Jin is making a folding knife called a folding knife.

He once used a folding knife called an electric knife in his work, and he also used a Japanese folding knife to sharpen bamboo dragonflies and the like.
Since there is no locking mechanism as it is, I added a simple locking mechanism.
"Interesting shape".

This type of folding knife does not seem to exist in this world. Most of them are sheath knives, which are kept in a sheath.
Light silver blade, light silver handle. Since that is not enough to make it artistic, a horn of a pseudo dragon (Siamese dragon) is decorated and small magi crystals are scattered.
These magi crystals will also serve as markers to be searched for by the magi radar.

"Okay, it's done."
After opening and closing the crystal a few times to check its condition,
"Erza, I have another present for you.

Jin hands it to Elsa. It is a gift of a knife, but it does not matter since they are now brother and sister, even though they are in-laws.
"Thank you, Jin-brother.
Erza, who had been watching him make it, quickly opens and closes it. Then she smiled and told Jin what she thought.

"This is interesting. It's very convenient."
"Ha, I'm glad you like it."
Jin laughed too.

"Erza-chan got a present from her big sister too, so we're all in the same boat!
Hannah was in a good mood as usual.
Meanwhile, dusk is falling outside. The time in Kunlun Island is about an hour ahead of that in Kaina Village.

"Well, let's get ready for dinner," Jin says.
Jin says and leaves the workshop. He washes his hands in the washroom, and Hannah and Erza follow suit.
In the dining room, Perid and Topaz were preparing dinner.

"What's this?
Tonight's menu had been prepared according to Jin's instructions.
Ground mountain lion meat, mixed with flour, kneaded and baked. Topopo (topopo) is boiled, mashed, mixed with a little meat and boiled corn, floured with beaten egg, breaded and deep-fried.

In other words, it is a hamburger steak and croquette.
Since there is no Worcestershire sauce, I tried to make my own, and now I have finally succeeded in making something satisfactory, so here it is. (It was not Jin who had a hard time making them, but Perido from Horai Island.)
"Wow, this is delicious!

"Is this made with topopo?"
Hannah was pleased with the hamburger steak, and Erza, who has a discerning palate, recognized the ingredients in the croquettes.
"I didn't know topopo could be so tasty."

It was hard to believe that she had been afraid of topopo.
After the meal, he spent time telling Hannah stories about his trip.
"So my brother Jin made a kite and we flew it with the kids.

"Well, I hope you make me one next time.
"Oh, yes. Let's make kite flying popular in the village of Kaina.
That night, Hannah and Erza were in the same room.

"Wow, tatami smells good!
Jin thinks that Hannah also likes the smell of tatami, or rather Igusa, and wonders if it could be grown in the village of Kaina next time.
"Well, good night.

"Good night, sweetie."
"Good night, Brother Jin."
They decided to go to bed before too late, but Hannah, who was very excited, had a hard time falling asleep.

I couldn't get out of bed again today.
"I couldn't get out of bed today either. ......"
The old man was in regular contact with Reinhardt again tonight.
