Jin, Reiko, and Marikka used the warp gate to move to
They went to pick up Goh and Rubina.

She scolded him. Then she said to Jin and Marikka
"Please take good care of my grandchildren.

and bowed his head.
Goh also bowed to Jin and the others and greeted them.

Jin-sama, Marikka-sama, please welcome us today.
"Oh, let's go get Goh's luggage first.

"Well, can I go to ...... too?"

Some of Gough's personal belongings were on Onogoro Island, but most of them were at Marikka's house in the Nordic Federation.
So Rubina wondered if she could go to Marikka's house, too.
Marikka smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's fine. Jin-sama helped me clean up a bit last night."
"What?"

Goh wondered, and Marikka explained that they would have an automata stationed in the house.

Goh's eyes welled up as he felt Marikka's parental love.
Rubina also felt the love between master and disciple, and was a little envious.

"Oh, yes."
Marikka quieted the busy Goh.

Rubina is curious to see Marikka's house for the first time.
"Wow ...... there's a wind tunnel on the property ......."

"Yes. ...... I can see why Jin-sama values experimentation and verification. The last time we were doing this was in a competition with models, but Maricka made a practical plane that people can ride in.

Rubina seemed to understand, without being told, that safety confirmation is the top priority for a magi-machine in which human lives are entrusted.
Jin and the others were happy to see Rubina's growth.

"Yes. I can handle a model or even a Golem-piloted machine as an experimental machine, but if it's a machine for people to ride, I want to verify it over and over again, and make sure it's as safe as possible.... I'm going to..."
Jin is very cautious about safety, since he knows about the sinking of a huge cruise ship and the crash of an airliner in his former world.

"Okay, Jin-sama."

Just then, Goh returned with his personal belongings. It was a small package, about the size of a pack.
"Thank you for waiting!

Is that all you need?
"Oh, yes. Marikka-sama told me that I could come back sometimes, so I don't want to bring too much ...... with me."
"Oh, I see."

As a human being, I can understand that feeling.
In the beginning, the adopted children would come home once a month or so and reminisce about the toys they used to play with and the scratches on the pillars that measured their height, but that became once every two months, then once every six months, then once a year, then once a year. Then it became once in two months, then once in six months, then once in a year, and eventually he stopped showing his face ....... So I am thinking about what I should have done. Of course, the more I talk about it here, the more I feel like I am not being honest.

Of course, I am not so foolish as to mention it here.
"We can get beds and desks over there, can't we?

"Yes.
"...... If you want, I can make you one with the same appearance."
"Oh, that's a good idea."

"That would be nice." "That's just like Jin-sama, isn't it?"
Goh and Marikka agreed with Jin's line, who could not keep silent.

This was also Jin's experience.
There was a case that a child adopted by a foster family could not sleep because of a change of bedding, and he was able to sleep when he was allowed to use the bedding and pillows he had used in the orphanage.

"Hanako has the data of Goh's room, so she can make it as needed."

"Well, that's good."
Not wanting to waste too much time here, the group decides to leave the Marikka residence.

This time, they used the newly built warp gate in the basement to transfer to the inside of the hurricane via the Shinkai.

Jin answered,

Jin asked the opposite question.
Of course, it was the notification of the adoption.
The Nido family is now counted, so they cannot adopt a child without the state's permission.

"Yes, that's all right. The guarantors are Jin-sama, Zion-sama, and Marikka-sama, so that's all there is to it.
"I'm glad to hear that."

It is often the case that the adoption authorities will not give permission if the guarantors are suspicious, but Jin's name value was significant.
In addition, Zion had assured Goh that Marikka, now (ostensibly) deceased, was his foster parent, thus confirming his identity.

So now, Goh is officially our child from now on.

Hearing this, Goh quickly got up from his chair,
"Mr. Daiki, Ms. Cocona, please take care of him!

and bowed deeply.
