Jin chuckled at the stiff greeting, perhaps because it had been a while.
"Gloria-san, we are not strangers, and this is not an official meeting, so let's be a little more open-minded.
Jin smiles and calls out to her.
"I'm honored to hear that from the host of this event, .
After that, the atmosphere softens.
"Huh? Gloria-san, are you growing your hair long?"
"Hmm? Ah, ah. Ever since this winter.
She said she has been growing it out since her serious injury in January.
Indeed, his hair, which was once very short, had grown to a short bob, although he may have at least trimmed the ends of his hair.
"Brother Jin, you're too late to notice."
"What?"
"I noticed it when I was getting on the Conlon 3."
I see.
Erza tells Jin that she noticed it, and he is a little upset. Then Gloria came in,
"...... Well, I guess Jin-dono has no interest in any other woman but Erza-dono. As his fiancée, shouldn't he be pleased?
Erza even blushed.
"I'm not here to ...... talk about that."
"Of course not."
Jin thought from the moment he saw Gloria's face that she was talking about swords again, but he didn't say it out loud.
"At ......, you know. Actually, I have something to tell you, Miss Elsa.
"...... me, sir?"
Gloria nodded, her cheeks tinting slightly.
"Well, it's about Fritz of the Shoro Kingdom. He is your brother, isn't he?
Yes.
"...... that, right. ......Does Mister Fritz have a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, a fiancee in his country?"
"No, I don't think so."
The answer was immediate.
"......You don't mean to say that you are not, you know, a man-cubist, do you?"
"...... Of course not."
Elsa, and of course Jin, who was listening beside her, could guess what Gloria was thinking when she came here.
"Gloria-san, did you hear about my brother ......?"
Gloria's face turned red.
"Yes! That's not ...... true, no, yes it is ...... true."
And then she sagged.
"This winter we worked together in the old Leonard Kingdom, and then to the Kingdom of Selroa,...... I didn't know what this feeling was at the time,...... but now that we are reunited, I finally understand it. ......"
"I see."
Jin had never seen Gloria like this before.
"......So, Gloria, are you going to confess to Mr. Fritz now?"
But upon hearing Jin's words, Gloria shook her head as hard as she could.
"No, I can't do that!
"......Is it a matter of position, after all?"
"No, I'm already 24 years old.
"Yes?"
As for Jin, he really doesn't understand.
"......I think that a more suitable girl would be better suited for Mister Fritz. ......"
Elsa, how old is Mr. Fritz this year?
Twenty-six, I think.
Then it's no problem at all.
"Yes, I guess so. ......"
Jin and Elsa were worried as they looked at Gloria's face.
"Anyway, I feel lighter now that you've listened to me. See you later!"
"Oh ......"
Gloria, perhaps relieved or embarrassed by her confession to Jin and the others, quickly left.
The remaining members of the group looked at each other and muttered.
"...... I don't think Fritz-san cares too much about Gloria-san."
"Well, I think you're right.
"First of all, let's finish the meeting tomorrow, and then we can think about what we're doing now.
"...... for."
The early stars were beginning to twinkle in the sky over Kunlun Island.
