An evolutionary process of the fast magnetic reconnection in ``free space'' which is free from any influence of outer circumstance has been studied semi-analytically, and a self-similarly expanding solution has been obtained. The semi-analytic solution is consistent with the results of our numerical simulations performed in our previous paper (see Nitta et al. 2001). This semi-analytic study confirms the existence of self-similar growth. On the other hand, the numerical study by time dependent computer simulation clarifies the stability of the self-similar growth with respect to any MHD mode. These results confirm the stable self-similar evolution of the fast magnetic reconnection system.
