At Saki's deliberate coughing, Jin and Erza untied their arms from their embrace.
"Well, it's fine to be friendly with each other," she said.
"I'd rather you do that when it's just the two of us."
Saki and Goose looked at me warmly.
"Well, that's why..."
"I don't know what's the reason, but I can tell you're trying to cover it up."
"Hey!"
Jin interrupts, but Goose keeps smiling.
By the look on his face, Jin realized that Goose was only teasing him.
"Hey, Jin."
The goose now turns to Jin with a serious look on his face.
"You don't have to take on everything, Jin. I joined the <> later, but <> is about helping and supporting each other, isn't it?"
"Goose......"
Saki also smiles and tells Jin.
"Yes, yes Jin, you have us. I know we're not the most reliable family.
Saki......
And then Erza said...
"Jin, you hold on to too much. He needs to rely on us more."
And finally Reiko.
"Your father gets depressed on a regular basis. But I am here, the old man is here, and so are the people of Bongnae Island. They are all your father's children. All of us will help your father.
Jin looked down silently as they spoke to him,
"Thank you, ......."
Eventually he looked up and thanked them.
"Goose, Saki, Elsa, Reiko."
His face lit up.
"I can't get rid of the feeling that I'm a gentile ...... or even an alien in this world.
"Brother Jin, that's ...... it."
Erza was about to say something, but Jin interrupted her,
But lately I finally feel like I'm getting used to it. I think it's thanks to all of you. Once again, I would like to say thank you.
Jin then stood up,
"Come on! Let's go look for the rainbow-colored caterpillar again!
He declared.
"Well, not the rainbow worm, but the dye.
Goose corrects him.
"The iridescent caterpillar is probably already a chrysalis by this time of the year, so it'll be a chrysalis for the winter."
"I see. ...... that? If that's the case, can we cultivate them on Horai Island if we collect the pupa?"
"Let's see ......, we can probably do that. They should be able to eat most of the citran plants."
"Hmmm..."
Jin thought, "Then, there are many citran trees in Horai Island, so it would be easy to cultivate them.
At that time.
"We're over the town of Nade.
Edgar called out.
"Okay, let's land on the outskirts."
At that moment.
"Whoa!"
Goose screamed.
"What's going on?
"I didn't realize until just now that I was flying ......"
"Hey!"
It was pitch black and he had been nervous because of the extermination of the "binge-eating grasshoppers," but he had been fine until now, and as soon as he looked outside, he remembered that he was in the sky.
"Oh dear, we're going to land now, don't worry."
The aircraft landed on level ground about a kilometer from the town of Nadeh.
"Oh! Goose!
"You look good! ...... you look a little pale, don't you?"
Jin and the others, who were almost surrounded by the residents, decided to go to the mayor's house.
"But after the horseless carriage, you now have a flying vehicle. That's what I'd expect from a Magecraft Meister."
Fadon was impressed as he walked along the road.
The residents were following him and the others, keeping a distance of about 5 meters between them.
Many of them seemed to know that Jin and the others had visited here before in a horseless carriage, but they were too shy to talk to him, which was a relief.
Jin thought that the disposition of Huso might be different from that of other countries.
* * * * * *
"Oh, to look for the rainbow-colored caterpillar (labyrinth worm).
Yes, the dye, to be precise.
Jin and his group were welcomed at the home of Mayor Fadon.
"Hmmm......... I think it is a specialty of the village of Khoihel."
The village of Khoikhel is located further north of Nadeh, southwest of the Oguni marshland.
"I know someone there, I can write you a letter of introduction.
"Thank you very much.
Just when Jin thought he was getting closer to his goal, he heard footsteps.
Then he heard footsteps and suddenly saw a small shadow hugging Goose.
"Ah, Nalie!"
It was Nalie, Fadon's daughter. She was very attached to Goose.
Go away, Nalie, I'm telling you a very important story right now.
Fadon rebuked her, but Nalie shook her head as if she didn't want to.
He shook his head as if he didn't want to. "Ha, you want to sit here then?
Guth sat Nalie down between his knees.
Goose, are you sure?
"I don't have anything to say to you that you don't want me to hear. Hey, Hitoshi?
"Yes, it is. Nalie hasn't seen Goose in a long time.
Nally nodded in agreement with Jin's line. He has not changed his reticence.
"Well, what were we talking about?"
Goose is so amazed that he forgets the flow of the conversation.
"I'm talking about writing a letter of introduction to a friend of mine in the village of Khoikhel," he said.
"Oh, yes, that's right."
Nally looks up at Goose, who scratches his head and smiles up at her.
Saki looked at the two of them and felt a little uneasy.
"The acquaintance in the village of Koihel is my wife's cousin.
"Yes, I have heard of her. Annette, right?
Goose had heard of her too.
"Yes. You are the grandson of the elder of the village of Koyihel, aren't you?
Yes, that's right.
Well, I'd better get to writing.
Fadon got up and was about to go to his study when his wife, Frade, appeared.
I'm home. I'm back. ...... Oh, Goose. It's been a long time. And Mr. Nido, welcome.
It's been a while. I'm glad to see you're well. Oh, by the way..."
Jin had forgotten that he had brought a souvenir.
He takes it out of the baggage Reiko brought for him.
"Soap again..."
Since he was so pleased when I gave him soap last time, I gave him soap this time, too.
