"Hannah, are you there?"
Just then, Kurt, Jesse, Jim, Patty, Mario and others came to call Hannah.
When Jin asked what they were doing, they said they were going to pick wileys.

Wylies are wild strawberries. They are sour and tasteless as they are, but if they are boiled, they make jam.
In the village of Kaina, children pick these berries and make jam at home, but they seldom do so because of the cost of fuel to cook them.
But last year, Jin built a magic stone stove, and this year, every household with children is trying to build one.

"Sounds interesting.
Saki was enthusiastic when she heard about it.
Erza said that she would go too if Saki would go, so Jin decided to go along with her.

Naturally, Reiko, Edgar, and Aaru would also go, so Gon and Gen would not have to go.
"Come here, come here, Onii-chan!"
"...... is so cool!"

Jin and Saki had underestimated the toughness of the children.
Erza, on the other hand, is reasonably physically active, so she is moving along with the children holding the baskets.
Wiley trees grow in the forest in the eastern part of the village of Kaina.

There are many broadleaf trees and abundant wildflowers. The northern part of the forest is more or less rocky and is said to have many wileys.
This made it difficult to walk, and Jin and Saki were lagging behind.
Hannah told us, "Hey, honey, there are wiry paths from here.

Hannah tells Jin, and he looks around. Saki was looking around as well.
"Oh, there it is! Hannah, isn't it this one?
Saki seems to have found Wylie earlier than Jin because of her glasses.

"Yeah, that's it. You'd better get lots of them!"
With that, Jin and the other children scattered to look for Wylie.
"Don't go anywhere dangerous!"

Jin also warned.
"Okay, okay!"
The children replied, and disappeared into the forest.

"Well, me too."
Jin, who had been sitting down tiredly, sits up.
"Father, it's over there," Reiko tells him.

Reiko tells him, but Jin wants to find it himself. So he asks Reiko to pick up the wiley for him.
A ripe wiley is soft and easily crushed, but Reiko, who now has a sense of touch, can easily pick it without crushing it.
"Oh, here it is!"

Jin also finds a cluster of wileys and puts them in the basket on his waist.
Saki also seems to be finding a lot of wileys.
Erza was moving around quickly and had already collected a considerable amount of wileys.

After about an hour, the prepared baskets were full and we were able to open them into the large baskets that Aal had put on her back.
The big basket was a little less than half full, and we had one hour to collect more.
"Okay, I'll do my best!

Kurt, being the mischievous boy that he is, rushed out.
"...... I've had enough of this."
"That's funny, me too."

Jin and Saki, who had no energy, regretted not bringing water.
"Are you all right, Father? Father?
"Master, are you tired?"

Reiko and Aal were looking out for their respective masters.
To say the least, they were licking their lips at the idea of a place where children could go.
He tried a bite of Wylie, but it was too sour for Jin's palate. Saki did the same.

"...... there was so much over there."
Erza returned with a basket full of wileys. She looked at the two of them, flabbergasted,
"......2 neither one of you gets enough exercise."

She blurted out.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure my father wouldn't be like this. He's always flying from place to place looking for something unusual."
Saki is an indoor person, while Saki's father, Toa, is an outdoor person.

At that time.
"Onii-chan!"
Hannah shouted.

"What's wrong, Hannah?"
Jin got up and ran to Hannah.
"Oh my God! Kurt and Jessie are in trouble!

"Huh?"
Hannah's face turned pale.
"What the hell happened to you?"

Elsa and Saki had caught up with them.
Kurt and Jesse fell from the cliff.
What?

So the three of them headed deeper into the forest, with Hannah leading the way. After trampling through the grass and bushes, they arrived at the top of a cliff about 10 meters above the ground.
A river flowed below. It was an unnamed river that flowed into the Herme River.
"Look, there... ......!"

Hannah points out that Jesse is caught on a rock in the middle of the cliff and Kurt is lying at the bottom of the cliff.
The cliff is about to collapse, and there is a strong possibility of a rock avalanche, which would bury the immobile Kurt under the cliff.
"Jesse! I'll save you now, don't move!

Jin calls out to Jesse to reassure him. If Jesse moved too much, there was a possibility that the rock would collapse and he would fall down.
"Oh, Jin-chan! ......"
Jesse looked relieved when he saw Jin.

"Well, what kind of procedure should we follow?"
There were small stones rolling down, and there was no way to tell when it would turn into a rock avalanche. We had to help them as soon as possible, or they would be in danger.
"Okay, Reiko, Edgar, Aal, help me."

Jin explained his idea.
"I mean ....... I want to help you as soon as possible. Please help us."
"Yes, father."

Yes, Mr. Creator.
Yes, Master Jin.
Jin. Jin, is it going to work out that way?

I'll have to do it, won't I? My earth magic can't reach that far. I have to save it before it collapses. ...... Reiko, go."
First Reiko jumped down to where Jesse was trapped.
Reiko, in full control of her power, landed on the ground without dropping a single pebble. However, the rock, with the weight of both Jesse and Reiko on it, tilted.

Immediately Reiko picked up Jesse and threw him with exquisite force. Edgar held her firmly.
Next, Reiko dives down the cliff faster than the rock. She takes Kurt in her arms and rushes to examine him. <
Reiko, relieved for the moment, runs up the cliff at once.

The incline is over 60 degrees. The rock that started rolling does not stop. Reiko runs to the right and left, dodging the falling rocks.
The reason why she does not throw the rock like Jesse is that the acceleration of throwing it up to the height of 10 meters might be too much for the injured Kurt to withstand.
The rolling rocks engulfed the surrounding rocks, and finally a rock avalanche broke out.

Reiko, who had run up to the halfway point of the cliff, threw Kurt in her arms to Aalu, who was waiting above.
In this case, the acceleration on Kurt was less than half that of the case where he was thrown from below. He judged that Kurt could withstand the acceleration sufficiently.
Aalu caught it firmly.

Then, the rock avalanche hit Reiko who became light.
A moment later, Reiko runs down the slope. The speed is just like a gale.
It took less than ten seconds from the time she jumped down to the time she returned.
