When Saki asked her to come to her house, Stearina thought for a moment.

"Saki's house, right ......?"

"I have my own room and it's quiet. My father is with me, but he's usually not here. ......

Jin is not so bad, he thought.

Even if he were to come to Kaina Village, he would have to build a house. It would only take a day to build it.

The biggest problem is that I don't know the residents of Kaina village very well. Especially in Kaltu village.

Saki's house is a single family house and there are no houses around it, so there is no need to get to know the neighbors.

Furthermore, it would be better if they were protected as a country. In this sense, the Kingdom of Shoro is a better choice.

Anyway, we agreed that the sooner we leave the Kingdom of Selroa, the better, and that we would live with Saki at her house for the time being.

We would then have to move out immediately.

We split up and packed up our household goods. Only a few pieces of furniture were not allowed to go with us.

Clothes, dishes, books, etc. are packed by Edgar, Aal, Serene, and others.

Reiko is in charge of the magic tools since they are heavy. Three packages weighing about 50 kg.

All but the rarest of materials are left behind.

"......I guess that's about it."

"Well, at worst we can come back later to pick it up. Are you sure you want to do this?　You've lived here for a long time.

When Jin looked at her lonely profile and asked her, Stearina smiled.

"It's ...... fine. It's my house and I still have memories of it. It's better if you can get away from the inconvenience of your life completely.

"...... I see."

Jin nodded, but seemed to be thinking about something when he saw the lonely look on Stearina's face.

"Well, let's go."

They each took their luggage and passed through the warp gate attached to the carriage.

< and return to pick it up again. The warp gate is too small to carry a large amount of luggage at once.

After two round trips, the luggage is completely gone. It took about two hours to reach this point.

The wagon will be driven by the steward and will return at the warp gate of Condor 3, which was dispatched at an appropriate point.

The time difference between Banne, Shoro, and Gore, Selroa, is about two hours.

It was about 1:00 p.m. local time when I left for Saki's house.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Saki.

With that, Stearina walked through the front door of the Eschenbach house with her large luggage in her arms.

"Oh?　Who are you?"

A man's voice. Unexpectedly, Stearina dropped her luggage.

"Father!"

Saki shouted.

It was Toa Eschenbach himself, who had come home for a rare visit.

Saki's father was there, too, and he had come home for a rare visit.

"Hmm, exile, you mean."

"Yes, yes, and I have decided to take your daughter's word for it.

Half an hour later, Stearena, Jin, and Erza were in the reception room with Saki after they had finished taking their luggage to the spare room.

In case you are wondering, Hannah did not come here from the , but was sent back to the village of Kaina. She is probably having dinner with Martha and her family at home by now.

"I know this is inconvenient for you, but I would like you to leave us for a while. ......"

Stearina turned her head and glanced at Toa's face.

Toa is 44 years old this year. He has auburn hair and purple-gray eyes, much like Saki's. He is a thin man. He is thin and only slightly taller than Stearina.

"No, I don't spend much time at home. If it's okay with my daughter, then it's okay."

Thoa, who is not a very fussy person, readily accepted Stearina's offer. He is grateful that he is not asked how he came from the Kingdom of Cerroa.

"......, what about the rest of you?"

This was a question for Jin and the others.

"Oh, my name is Jin. I'm a friend of Saki ......."

"I'm Elsa from ....... It's been a while.

Toa looked at Erza's face and tried to remember for a moment,

"Elsa ......?　Oh, that girl!　It's been a long time!　You've grown up so much!"

She spoke to him in a slightly higher tone.

"Yes, sir."

Toa had seen Erza several times in the past, even though he was Saki's father and a commoner.

"So, Jin is Erza's son-in-law?"

Yes.

"No, no, my brother Jin is my brother-in-law."

Erza's cheeks are slightly stained and she denies it desperately. Saki, who is sitting next to Toa, looks at her as if she is seeing something unusual.

"Well, there seems to be a complicated situation here.

Toa said and did not pursue the matter any further.

Stearina looked straight at Toa.

"Toa-sama, can you make crystal with alchemy?

Toa answered with a smile to such a question.

Haha, even though it is called alchemy, it is not possible to create materials from scratch. At best, you can only transform them to increase their uses.

Is that so?

"Yes, they originally tried to create gold ......."

It seems that Toa and Stearina are somehow compatible with each other.

Saki looked at her father, who was making an unusually enthusiastic speech, with a look that said she had seen something unusual.

"Well, anyway, I'm glad that Stearina has decided to move.

"Yes, I'm glad they have decided to move. I'm relieved that my father approved of the move.

"Saki, I think Uncle likes you, Stellina."

Elsa said something like that. Certainly, Toa and Stearina seemed to be talking to each other in a friendly manner even though they had never met each other before.

"Erza, let's go back to Horai Island for a while. We have to take care of Edgar.

"...... yeah. Let's go back.

So Jin and Erza decided to return to Horai Island. Jin thought that Saki would have a lot to talk about with her father who had returned after a long absence.

In truth, he had many questions he wanted to ask Toa, but he prioritized the time between father and daughter. It was Jin's way of showing consideration.

"See you later, Saki."

"Yeah, see you later."

Then Jin, Erza, Reiko, Edgar, and the two of them moved to Horai Island.

"Stop Edgar first."

It was already nighttime on Horai Island, and the first thing they did was, of course, to maintain Edgar.

Edgar, who has taken off his clothes, lies on the workbench. Erza, the creator of the device, uttered the key word for .

Jin, Hannah, and Reiko have heard and know what happened while they were gone, but when they actually examine Edgar, they can imagine the situation even more realistically.

"His skeleton is a little distorted. ...... I'm glad it's light silver."

Light silver is a light and strong material, and its tenacity allows it to withstand attacks without breaking. If it had been bronze, it could have broken.

"Let's replace it with 64 light silver."

"Yes.

This material is even stronger than pumice silver and has a higher hardening and toughening effect. In addition, important parts are reinforced with adamantite.

Basically, Elsa does the work. Jin is standing by to provide guidance.

"Okay, now we just need to increase the output.

Considering the purpose of protecting Erza, it cannot be denied that the current power is insufficient. I would like to have as much power as the 5th row (Quinta), or a little more.

I will replace Magical Muscle with Siamese Dragon.

The ether converter and mana driver are also renewed to produce more output.

After three hours of work, Edgar's repairs and strengthening are completed without a hitch.
