One day at the end of September, a cool breeze blew through the village of Kaina, sweeping away the lingering summer heat.
Elsa and Meene were sitting on a bench outside, nursing the twins, when a voice called out to them.
"Here, it's ready. This is good, isn't it?"
What they had made was a baby carriage that could carry two people.
Unlike today's Japan, the sidewalks are not crowded with people, so it is very practical.
"It has a sunshade, rubber tires, suspension, and dampers, so it should be comfortable to ride in."
"Thanks. That's what I'm talking about."
Elsa and Meane quickly put the twins in the pram.
"Do you want to take them for a walk?"
"I don't think they're blind yet, though."
Elsa is very enthusiastic. She puts her hand on the handle of the pram.
"I'll go. I'll go."
The pram drives off smoothly, without a single rattle. Incidentally, taking a newborn out for a walk is normal in this world.
"Be careful," he says.
"Nah, I'm fine. Exercise is bad for your body.
Elsa was recovering well, with no problems with her postnatal growth.
"Well, I'm off then."

The baby carriage with the twins in it moves slowly along a small street in the village of Kaina.
"Oh, Elsa!"
I meet Barbara.
"Are you going for a walk?"
"Yes. I got a baby carriage made.
"Is this what you call a baby carriage? It's nice!"
Some of the nobles used baby carriages, but this is the first time in Kaina village. No wonder Barbara had never heard of it.
"Mio and Chloe, right? They are so cute!"
Now they are sleeping peacefully.
"They were awake just now."
In many cases, the children fall asleep when they are rocked by a vehicle or held by a person.
This was actually the case with Elsa, according to her birth mother, Meene. Even if she was fussy, she stopped crying and went to sleep as soon as I walked around with her in my arms.
See you later.
"Okay."
After leaving Barbara, Elsa started to push the pram again.
She feels much lighter and has regained some of her strength.
We walked straight to the snow room.
It was an open area with a clear view of the surrounding mountains.
"Snow room. I miss ......."
The day I accidentally entered the warp gate and wandered into the village of Kaina.
I met Hannah and found out that she and Jin were mutual acquaintances.
Jin came to pick me up, and we could stay in the village a little longer.
Jin built this snow room for the village.
It was summer and there was no snow to bring, so he made snow with his own magic and filled it.
It seems a long time ago now.
"Hello, Miss Elsa."
"Hello, Mr. Mayor."
Are you going for a walk?
Yes.
Yes. - Well, that's interesting. You can carry a baby on your back?
Yes.
The village headman was loading vegetables he had harvested onto a wheelbarrow.
"Oh, no! They're for tonight's dinner. Sally will get angry if we hurry.
See you later.
See you later. Erza... don't take it too hard. Go home at your leisure.
Yes, ma'am.
Chief Giebeck pushed his wheelbarrow and walked quickly back to his house.
Elsa also made a U-turn and started to walk slowly back the way she came.
But then she turns left and goes gently downhill, passing by the side of the castle of Nido and near the river Erme.
It's the season when the river breeze feels good.
The time is a little before 3 p.m.
"...... Let's go home soon."
The twins are still sleeping peacefully, but soon they will wake up and start crying because they are hungry.
