In the evening, Saki came back with a lot of leaves and cobwebs all over her body.
When Erza saw this..,
"Saki, let's go to the hot spring first.
and sent her straight to the hot spring. Erza prepared a change of clothes and brought them with her.
"Oh, she's coming back to life, isn't she?
Saki stretched her arms and legs in the hot spring.
"Are you tired, Saki?
Hannah was in the hot spring with her.
"Yes, I'm tired. I know it's because I usually stay in my room.
Saki giggles.
"It's not good for your health.
"I know, but... ......"
Then Erza comes in.
"It's a bad habit of Saki's that she can't stop even though she knows it's bad for her."
"Hey, hey, Erza. Where are the twins?
I left her with my brother Jin.
Huh.
Huh?
Erza tilted her head, not knowing why Saki laughed when she came into the bathtub after rinsing herself off.
"Erza, you've started calling Jin , but you're still when you talk to third parties, aren't you?"
"Ah ......"
Erza blushes when she realizes what Saki has said.
"Well, in that case, are you or ? Or ?"
"Ha, Hannah-chan."
Hannah even said this to her, and Erza turned bright red in the hot water.
"Haha, Elsa is still as fresh as ever."
Saki smiled softly as if she had seen something funny.
Meanwhile, Jin was bathing the twins with the help of Reiko. The footbath in front of the changing room was shared by both men and women.
They filled a large basin with hot water and let the twins soak in it. I was used to doing this when I was at the facility.
"There you go, Yu, does it feel good?
"Yes."
When bathing a baby, never use water that is too hot. Jin loves hot baths, but he is absolutely sure to keep this rule in mind.
After Chloe comes Mio.
When they are older, Jin would like to take a bath together.
As he was wrapping them in towels to keep them cool, Erza and the others came up.
"You, thank you for your hard work. I'll take care of you, so please take a bath too.
"Oh, okay. Thank you."
After switching places with Elsa, Jin hurriedly went to the changing room.
"Ah, this is nice hot water.
Jin stretches himself in the hot side of the hot spring in the village of Kaina.
Then Rock, the older brother of the men in the village, came in. His son Mario is with him. Reiko is outside at the right moment.
"Hey, isn't that Jin?"
"Ah, Jin-chan."
"Hi, Mr. Locke. Hey, Mario.
"I met your wife outside. The twins are getting big now, aren't they?
Thanks to you.
Jin-chan, they're going to take me hunting next time!
Mario is now 13 years old. In the village of Kaina, the age of adulthood is 15, but at 13 it was time for Mario to learn various adult jobs before becoming a full-fledged adult.
"Well, good luck," he said, "but be careful. But be careful."
"Yeah!"
The sky was beginning to turn red when Jin got out of the hot spring after soaking in the hot water and talking about various things. The twins had been brought home by Elsa.
Jin returns slowly toward Martha's house, his body burning in the evening breeze. Reiko quietly follows him.
