He was relieved, and then in a good mood. He imagined that he was happy that he did not have to go through any trouble to take Jin to Lawhong.
"Then I want you to spend the day preparing, and I want to leave at 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. Is that all right?"
"Yes."

There was no turning back now.
Jin was a little sad, because he had spent a little more than half a month in the village, and he was finally getting used to it.

Isak had gone hunting across the river the day before yesterday. Once he goes out, he doesn't come back for a week or so.
Jin then made a round of the village. He checks the repaired pumps and night-lights.

"Well, this should last for another 30 years or so without maintenance.
Jin went around the village, satisfied with the workmanship.
"Hey, Jin-kun, are you making rounds today?"

"What is it? Is something wrong?

At night, Jin was lost in thought.
(......Elsa ......I wonder if the child has been born yet.........I hope it is safe...) .......No, I'm sure it's all right, because my mother-in-law, Martha, Dr. Sally, and the old man are all here... ......)
I can't help thinking about it, but I can't help thinking about it when I'm alone.

(I'm already thinking about the things I'm trying not to think about. ) Still, during the daytime, I can forget about it by working on repairs, but at night, when everything is quiet around me, I can't help but think about it.
（Tomorrow, I will leave for Lawhong. (I wonder if there are any clues in Lawhon.)

The next day, the clock in the multipurpose plaza of the village reads a little before 7:00 a.m. (Come to think of it, there is a clock like this.

I have not noticed it since I don't walk around at night, but the moon in this world looks just like the moon in Ars (Uny).

"Jin, good morning,......, sir."
I turned around at the sound of his voice and saw that it was Katya. I'm not sure what to do.

The time was exactly seven o'clock. Jed Alamordo arrived. He was leading two carriages, himself and four guards on horseback.
"Oh, you're here. "Oh, you're here. Jin-dono and Ka-CHEER take the front carriage. Put your baggage in the carriage behind.
Yes, sir.

The carriage seats four. So Jed, Jin, and Katya can ride in it. The carriage in the back was more like a spare carriage than a luggage carriage.
But Jed seemed to be going on horseback. That means Jin and Katya in the carriage. Jin thought that he would not be bored if he had someone to talk to.
