 Incidentally, Hannah did not accompany him because she was helping to cook dinner.

 In other words, he was accompanied only by Reiko.

 Reiko seemed to be in a good mood as it had been a long time since she had been alone with Jin.

 Before the darkness had fallen, Jin and Reiko arrived at the village headman's house.



 As soon as they knocked, Giebeck came out.

"Oh, Jin. Welcome."

 Guibec calls me , just like in the old days. That's why this village is so relaxed, Jin thinks.

"I'm sorry I was gone during the day.

"No, that's okay."

 Jin was invited in, and since it was almost dinner time, he decided to be brief about his requirements.

"We've been talking ...... about it for a while now, and we've decided to have the ............ wedding reception with Elsa on the evening of August 12th. We have decided to hold it on the evening of August 12."

"Thank you very much."

 Jin bowed his head, a little embarrassed when Sally came out of the back to congratulate him as well.

"So, we will have a banquet at Nido Castle at five o'clock in the evening.

"Okay. I'll let them know so that they can all show up as much as possible.

Please do so.

 At that moment, Sally seemed to have an idea.

"Oh, Jin, aren't you going to have a parade?"

"The parade ......?"

 Sally nodded.

"Yes. A parade. We'll ride in a horse-drawn carriage or something and go slowly around the village.

"Oh, no! I'm so embarrassed!"

 But Sally laughed and complained to Jin.

"Don't say you are ashamed. You are a lord, you should show your face to your people at a time like this."

"...... Is that how it is?"

"Yes, that's right."

 This conversation was conveyed to the old man through Reiko, who, without Jin's knowledge, decorated the cars on Horai Island and remodeled them to wedding specifications.

 Jin accepted it while scratching his head.

"If you want to go to ......, we can leave Nido Castle at 4:00 p.m. and return after a leisurely tour of the village. How about a banquet at 5:00 p.m.?

"Yes, that sounds good.

 Jin nods to Hannah with a look of expectation on his face.

"Yeah, so Hannah, let's go there together."

"What? Is that okay?"

Jin, are you sure? Wouldn't you rather travel with Erza alone?

 But Jin laughed and denied it.

"No, we'll have two boats, and it's better to be lively during the daytime.

"Well, if Jin says so, that's good.

"Would you like to come, Martha?"

 But when Martha heard this, she became angry.

"Jin! Don't play games with me!

"So, you don't have to worry about anything. You don't have to care about me, okay? What parent wouldn't be happy to see their child happy?"

 Martha said, standing up and patting Jin on the head.

"......Yes, thank you."

 Jin turned his head and softly let a tear fall. Martha's hand on his head was warm.

 The next morning.

 Jin was planning to visit the village of Toka.

 He called <> there.

 At 9:00 a.m., <> came into view in the eastern sky.

 The villagers have become accustomed to it and reacted as if it were another djinn vehicle flying by.

 They look up at the sky, take one look, and go back to their work.

 Looking at the residents, Jin could not help but think that Kaina Village is a special village after all.

 Jin told Erza that Sally had told him to have a parade.

"...... so."

 Erza blushed, but did not look as uncomfortable as Jin did.

 This may be a slight difference between her and Jin. There are women's sensitivities, Jin thought to himself.



"Also, I have a stack of reference books inside that the old man prepared for me.

"Oh, you're early!"

 The reference books that I had informed you about last night. The old man seemed to have prepared them right away.

"All right, let's go."
