The two take each other's hands. Then Helga sees Jin coming down the stairs.
"Jin-san! It's Jin-san, isn't it? It's been a long time!"
Her face broke out in joy when she saw Jin.
"Jin-kun, your memory has returned. You've grown up so well."
The village head, Sergei, also welcomed Jin.
"A lot has happened since you left that time. Well, why are we standing around talking? Would you like to come to my house?"
"Yes, by all means."
So Jin went to Sergei's house.
He said, "Dad, I'll be with Katya at Aunt Sonya's store.
Helga said while taking one of Katya's bags.
"Okay."
And with that, she and her aunt went to her aunt's store.
By the way, < is secretly watched by mini Reiko.
Jin, Sergei, and Reiko walk down the road to the village chief's house.
"...... Jin, who the hell is that girl?
On the way, Sergei asks about Reiko. He had thought to wait until he got home, but finally he couldn't stand it any longer when he saw Reiko carrying a large baggage with a nonchalant look on her face.
"This is Reiko. She is an automaton that I made.
"Oh, <>? ...... I see, Jin, you are a top-notch magical engineer. I see...so you're powerful because you're an automaton."
He seemed to be convinced.
In the meantime, the group arrived at the village chief's house.
Please come in.
"Thank you for your time."
The layout of the house seems to be almost the same as before. Jin and Reiko are shown into the reception room.
It's a new house, isn't it?
"Yes. After that a terrorist named Guillermo Marchitas attacked us and burned most of the village to the ground.
Yes, yes. I heard about it.
I'm sure you're right. It was a big deal.
Sergei's wife, Mina, came in with a cup of tea.
"Mr. Jin, it's been a long time. Should I say welcome back?"
"Oh, it's been a while."
Jin stood up and greeted her.
"But you know who you are now, don't you? That's good.
"Thank you for your help."
Jin bowed.
"Sit down, Meena. You sit down, too. Let's hear what Jin has to say. You don't mind, do you?
"Yes, of course."
So Jin explained to the chief and his wife everything that had happened since they had left the village of Taji.
"Well, His Excellency Paelova Sondovik took a liking to me. ......"
"...... and was then summoned to the royal capital. ......"
"And then to the Duchy of Jagus......"
"There he met a man named , and Jin found out who he was. ......
Jin explains his actual path while concealing a few facts.
The chief and his wife listened with great interest.
