Now, Erza, Yu, and Mio, who remained at Nido Castle, were playing in the Erme River with Hannah and her friends.
Of course, the twins were only playing in the shallow water.
Erza was watching them from a little distance.
Hannah and the other children in the village, those who are good swimmers enjoy swimming in the deep pools, while those who are not so good float on floats or practice swimming in a place where they can stand on their backs.
Then Elsa received a call from the old man through <>.
<
"...... Is something wrong?"
<
"...... brother, you mean, brother Fritz?"
Erza raises her eyebrows, wondering if something is wrong.
<
"Did something happen to my brother Moritz?"
Elsa's half-brother, Moritz Randall von Amber, is frail.
Elsa wonders if he is seriously ill.
But...
<
"What?"
The unexpected content caught her off guard for a moment.
"Uh, uh, say it again.
<
"......."
After hearing it twice, I finally caught on.
But I could not swallow the fact that Moritz himself had told me less than a month before that he had no intention of remarrying.
"Well, who is the mother?"
<
"What?"
Elsa gasped. She remembered how her father, Georg, had treated her when her mother, Meine, had been a maid of honor.
The old man, however, sensing Elsa's feelings, quickly added, "Don't worry, my dear, I'm not going to hurt you.

At any rate, she regained her composure,
"Boy or girl? Girl?"
I ask him. The old man answers.
"......How is your wife?"
"Yes, that's good."
Hearing this, Elsa felt relieved.
When she felt more relaxed, her next thought was to celebrate.
"......It's not natural for me to go there today, no matter how much I want to.
I can't answer the question of how I knew.
"The day after tomorrow, would that be okay?"

It is a well-known fact that Jin has a personal communication device called a manaphone (actually, it is a manacam).
Erza thought that it would not be unnatural for her to receive the information a day later, and that it would not be so strange if she went to her parents' house a day later.
"What should I give you ............?
Erza realized that it would be a nuisance if she had to leave Jin behind, so she stopped her attempt to contact him.
The old man said so thoughtfully, and I decided to leave it to him.
"Well, I'll have to think of a new celebration ......."
Since it's a girl, clothes. It's too early to .......
