Bertsche asked back. It was a natural question.
"Well, it means that the pelvis is large and firm. ......

Vivian added. As expected, she knew a lot of things from what she had heard.

Reinhardt noticed that Erza's appearance was obviously downcast after Jin mentioned that she was an easy childbearing type, and gently advised Jin to watch her.

"The other day, I went to greet my father-in-law, the Marquis Theoderic, and received his permission to remarry. After this, I will notify the state."

"So, what are you going to do about your new house?"
"My house has a good amount of room, so I'll be living with you.

Saki said with a mischievous smile. Toa and Stearina were a little embarrassed to hear that.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll leave Aal here with you, so if you need anything, just let me know.
Toa is not very good at housework either. Saki, needless to say, is the least of his worries as long as he stays on Kunlun or Horai Island.

"...... Jin brother?"

This was an exercise of Jin's privilege to visit without an appointment. However, since he did not do it so often, he asked us to overlook any interruptions to his work.
After waiting for about 30 minutes, I was able to meet the Prime Minister and the female emperor.
"Mr. Jin, what can I do for you today?

The emperor was now completely frank.
"Yes, I'm here today to ask your permission for the marriage of my friends, Mr. Toa and Miss Stellina.
Jin and the others were a little nervous, wondering what kind of response they would get,

"Yes, thank you!
Although her words to Toa were brief, they seemed to have conveyed the feelings of the queen.

The wind was still blowing cold, but Toa and Stearina, who felt each other's warmth, and Jin and Erza were not cold.
The sky in Leusert was clear and blue again today, and the sunlight, which was getting stronger little by little, reminded them that spring was not far away.
