"...... Oh, Yu and Mio are crying. Wait a minute."
Erza stood up, and a moment later Meene stood up as well.
This is Horai Island.
Jin has returned and is going to explain what he has done so far, so the <> is all here.
"...... Fu."
Jin stopped talking for a moment and sipped a Ramon (lemon) squash.
He really wants to go over to where Elsa is breastfeeding the twins, but he hasn't been able to do so yet because Elsa is too shy to let anyone see her breasts.
At least, it seems that it is only possible when I am alone with Jin.
"......Waiting for you."
Elsa and Meene are back. Erza has Chloe in her arms and Mio in Meine's arms.
The sleeping twins seem to have woken up now, and are excited even though their bellies must be full.
"That's right!"
Jin took out a toy he had made.
"Jin, what's that?"
Bina asked, holding her son Reginald in her arms, just like Elsa.
"It's a denden-daiko," he said.
"A den-daiko?"
"Yes. Here, ......, look, Chloe, Mio."
Jin put one in each of Yu and Mio's hands, and they both swung them around.
They both swung them around and made a sound of "de-den-den-den".
They seemed to be amused by the sound and waved them around some more. They are still in a good mood because of the sound.
"I didn't expect babies to have such a strong grip," he says.
So the drum never fell off, and the twins never got tired of playing with it.
In fact, denden-daiko are usually played by babysitters to soothe babies rather than for babies to play with, but Jin had made one for babies.
<.
Well, he seems to be happy with it, so I guess it's not a problem.
"That's nice," he said.
Bina looked at Reginald with interest as she held him in her arms.
"Do you want one too? I'll give you one.
From somewhere Jin pulled out a denden-daiko (a Japanese drum).
"Oh, thank you, Jin!
Jin, I'm sorry.
Bina and Luis thanked him.
But Jin shook his head and said it was nothing.
"They're made so that little kids don't get hurt. I made a lot of them so they wouldn't break.
He was a crafty fool and a parental idiot in his own right.

Chloe and Mio woke up, so we couldn't talk for a while.
So we all go outside. It was a clear day outside, and a cool September breeze was blowing.
We sat down on the grass in front of the institute.
