1376 - - 37-18 Thinking about the future of the demon territory






 The New Year's party ended peacefully, and those who had work to do went to their respective houses, while the others stayed at Horaijima.

 Those who stayed over were Saki, Goose, Vivian, Hannah, Zion, and Marikka. Meene is not a sleepover group because this place is like a half house (she has her own room).

 Hannah, Zion, and Marikka were playing cards with Jin.

 Erza reads the cards.

"Dumplings are better than flowers."

"Hai!"

 Surprisingly, Marikka is the stronger player. Hannah was next. Jin is not serious by nature, but Zion is surprisingly weak.

"Even a dog walks, but a stick hits a pole."

"Yes!" "Yes! What is ......<>?"

 Jin wanted to make a 100 poems, but there was no way he could remember all 100 poems, so he decided to make a karuta.

 It is after 9:30 p.m. in Kayna village time. Hannah usually goes to bed at 9:00 p.m., which is understandable.

 It's not good to stay up endlessly on New Year's Day. ...... was the advice I received from the director of the hospital when I was in an institution.

"What about Zion and Marikka?"

"Well, I want to take a bath."

 Goose and Vivian were still talking with Lao Tzu.

 Not being a child, Jin asked the golem maid to take care of them and went to bed, thinking that they would go to sleep if they got sleepy.

"...... Saki?"

 But Saki had gone to Goose and the others to join the conversation.

"Well, okay."

 Saki must have some things on her mind as well, so Jin heads for .

 It's not a busy time, but I'm honestly thankful to have a break like this when I've been so nervous about Hale day and night.

I'm sure I'll be busy again tomorrow.

"I'll be busy again tomorrow, but you can count on me for support.

"What do you mean by 'zoni'?"

 Theon asks curiously.

 Hannah has already eaten it last year, and knowing that Zion and Marikka have very few likes and dislikes, Jin thinks that she will have no problem eating the zoni.
