Dad and Stearina are newlyweds, so leave it to me.
Saki says, taking care of him.
"Oh, you don't mind, do you?"
"Yes, Dad. "Well, it's okay, Dad. Aal will be there too."
Jin, who was listening to the conversation, thought that the last part of the conversation was ruined, and Goose showed an unusually embarrassed face and said the line.
"Saki, please take care of me from now on."
I think I have a lot to learn from you."

After the Goose incident was over, Jin took Hannah, Erza, and Reiko to the village of Kaina.
Of course, they moved to Kaina village with Hanna, Erza, and Reiko.
This was the first time he explained to Hanna about the warp gate in detail.
"Hmmm, you can use this kind of magic tool! That's amazing!
Hannah is excited. However, she also understands that this technique is not something she should talk about with others.
"You can only talk about it to people you are allowed to talk about it to, right? I'll keep my promise!"
This before Jin could say anything. Jin thinks that the day when Hannah will be officially welcomed into the may not be far off.
But that's about it.
"Grandma, I'm home!
As soon as she stepped out of the warp gate in the basement of Jin's workshop, she ran up the stairs like a rabbit and jumped into Martha's arms.
"Hannah, welcome back. You look good. You've grown a little taller, haven't you?
Jin, Elsa, and Reiko had been by her side the whole time, but she was only 10 years old and must have missed her own grandmother.
"Welcome back, Jin-sama. Welcome back, Elsa."
Erza's mother, Meene, also welcomed them.
She teaches children to read and write in the village of Kaina.
"I'm home, Mother."
Jin went upstairs to his workshop so as not to disturb his grandmother and grandchildren, mother and daughter, who had not seen each other for a long time.
"Father, would you like me to make you some tea?
Reiko asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, please."
The village of Kaina is Jin's second home.
Sipping the tea Reiko made, Jin looked out the window.
The ears of wheat had come in and would be harvested in less than a month.
Then we would have to decide what to do with the girls from the village of Lalio that we had taken under our protection.
Some of them, like Ru, have been adopted, and others, like Kana, have offered to be Rick's wife.
Most of these children are orphans, and those who have expressed a desire to return seem to be those who have parents.
Either way, Jin wanted to respect their wishes.
"Besides, there's a spaceship or ......."
Tomorrow, they will move to Horai Island, where they will be occupied for a while.
The approaching long-period planets, the mysterious , and Hale, the home of the .
There are so many things I want to see when I can go to space.
After all, we still don't know much about our predecessors."
As for Jin, this trip has made him wonder if there is a grave of his predecessor somewhere in Horai Island.
Because Reiko's predecessor, Automata, would have buried her there.
However, Reiko just does not remember where it is now.
With the magic that summons her across time and space, Reiko has lost that memory.
"If we examine that missing control core, we might be able to find out something. ......"
The control core was carefully handled and stored in a safe place, just in case.
"We still have a lot of work to do. ......"
Still, Jin has his friends, his family, and the children he has created.
