Magi Craft Meister

"... I"

From somewhere far away, I hear voices.

"... be there"

A familiar voice.

"... Brother"

Nostalgic voice. A voice I couldn't wait to hear.

"... Brother Jin"

Jen opened his eyes.

"... it's a ceiling I know"

Jen woke up in Penglai's 'home' room.

"Brother Jin......"

"Elsa......"

It was my loving wife, Elsa, who was calling me.

Jen wakes up slowly from the futon.

"Wake up, okay?

"Oh."

Jen tried to turn her neck gently. I can't feel any discomfort anywhere.

"Yes, good..."

Elsa, who blushed into tears, said that suddenly a metastatic magic formation appeared before the institute and Jen appeared.

Jen was immediately put in charge of the 'house' because he was unconscious and given an allowance, but there was nothing wrong with it.

But then Jen woke up three days and three nights later.

"... really, it's Elsa, isn't it?

"Mmm."

"... now, how many years? What's the date?"

"3459, September 20"

Oddly enough, it was the same date as the day we left the other side.

"Well... I'm home, I'm here..."

"Welcome back, Brother Jin"

And Jen is finally refreshed in his frustrated head.

"Elsa."

"Mmm."

"Elsa!"

"Brother Jin?

Jen hugged Elsa as she thought she was in front of her.

It's not a fantasy, it's in Jen's arms with a definite presence.

"Oh, he's back..."

"Welcome back"

"I'm home, Elsa"

"... welcome back"

Elsa intended to return as many times as she could until Jen was convinced.

And there's another shadow there.

"Father!

Seeing from the shadows just makes me unbearable, Reiko.

"Welcome home!

Reiko jumped at Jen.

"I was sure you'd be back."

"Reiko, I'm home"

There, more people.

"Welcome back, Mr. Ginn"

"Ah."

"Mother-in-law... and...?

Meine and the baby in her arms.

"It's Mio. It's your daughter."

"Mio......"

"Welcome back, sweetheart!

And the other, Hannah with the baby.

"Abu"

"Yu, look, it's your father!

"Yu......"

Around Jen got busy all at once.

"These are my children..."

Jen stared first at Mio in Meine's arm, then at Yuu held by Hannah. They both laugh in a good mood, knowing they're fathers.

"Thank you, Elsa.... and in the hardest times, I can't stay with him, I'm sorry"

"Yeah, fine. Brother Jin, it would have been much, much harder..."

"Still. Sorry. And thanks for having such a good girl."

Once again, Jen gently hugged Elsa.

And with all the faces around her smiling...... Hannah was a little red in the face...... I realized I was staring at them both, but Jen didn't let go of my hand holding Elsa.

Elsa, Mio, Yu, Meine, Hannah, and Reiko.

Jen was surrounded by close associates and realizing he was finally back.

That night, the 'Jen Family' all gathered to celebrate Jen's return.

"Welcome home, Jin!

"Welcome back, Jin."

"Welcome back!"

Everyone was sincerely pleased with Jen's return.

"Thanks.... I've been through a lot but this is how I got back"

"I'd love to hear more about it."

"Yes, they do."

"... I know. But..."

"But?"

"First, we need to retrieve all the" space-blocking junctions "that are in place."

"Yes, it is."

"Then I want to talk slowly about what happened. But..."

"But?"

"There's a part of my memory that's not as clear as Kasumi hung. It's mostly magical and technical."

'With time travel, is it interference from the world to prevent the occurrence of contradictions?

Old man said something difficult here. [M]

"Is it that the modifying force worked to avoid waking up the time paradox?

Hannah says something similar.

"Perhaps..."

"But in the end, what happens happens, sweetheart."

"Yeah."

Jen takes a sip of citran juice and moisturizes his throat.

"Me too, to the best of my ability... I was going to come without purchasing any extra information to avoid waking up the time paradox..."

I wonder if what's obscured was extra information, and Jen still thinks.

"I... can't remember what happened to all the descendants of my family."

"That's too bad."

"Oh, it's just that I took care of Theon and Theon's descendants over there. And to Malika."

"Huh?"

"Oh, yeah, what is it?

"Oh. I'll take my time talking to you when I've cleared up what needs to be done in the meantime."

I'm looking forward to it.

Tomorrow or the day after, Jen said and laughed.

And the next day, as declared, Jen finished all the work of recovering the 'space-blocking junction' he had placed, and told the face of the 'family' what experience he had had.

"I wonder how..."

The long Jen story is over.

"Welcome home once again, Jin"

When Reinhardt says so,

"Welcome back"

"Welcome home."

The face of "Jen Family" spoke once again to Jen to greet him.

(This was, indeed, my place to return...)

Jen sincerely thought so.

The season is autumn.

A cool breeze blew through Penglai.
