is approaching. I see. That's a big deal indeed.

You didn't notice?

It's not normally activated. I don't come out unless it's beyond the Guardian's control.

I see, Jin thought as he listened to the conversation. This time, this golem came out only because all the guardians were transferred.

In this respect, the operation was correct.

So, do you have any countermeasures?

We need more information.

Of course we need more information.

"So, do you want to give them our information?　Or you can go to .......

No, thanks. I'll make my own observations.

"Okay. Can you let me know when you're ready to take action at ......?"

I don't see the need for that.

A curt answer. But the old man will not back down.

"All your guardians have been transferred. Since we couldn't prevent them, I'd like you to evaluate our abilities as well."

I see. You have a point. ......Good. Just one of them, come with me.

This is going to be more successful than he expected, the old man instructed Land 11.

"Then I'll go with you."

Lando 11 is equipped with two transfer rifles (10 cartridges remaining), a standard-issue ultra-high-speed vibrating sword, and a mana cylinder.

The remaining operational time is also sufficient.

* * * * *

"...... So far, as expected, or rather, the most desirable development.

Jin, who is monitoring the situation, is relieved for the moment.

<

"Let's hope for Land 11."

* * *

You'd better get over here.

"Okay. By the way, what do you want me to call you?　I prefer to be known as Land 11.

Right. You can call me Hellente.

"Yes, sir."

Land 11 follows <> through the ...... virgin forest at the back of the island. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of them.

"Is this the <>?"

That's right. There's a doorway in the back here. You will not find it and you will not get through unless you're with me.

I know.

Helente stepped into the warp gate, a structure not unlike a ...... structure in the middle of a virgin forest. Rand 11 follows.

His vision changes and he realizes that he has moved.

We are in the basement of the island.

What did you say?

He said, "The island.

I can't hear you. If you mean the island you've been on, can we call it Onogoro Island?

It doesn't matter. It's just an identifying label.

Underneath the island of Onogoro, there is a facility that is also an elaboration of magical technology.

The cavity Elm and Ash detected the other day may be part of this facility.

This way, come on.

Lando 11 follows her as she is told.

Get in!

After walking down the corridor and opening the door to the room at the end of the corridor, she invites Rand 11 in.

The room looked like a laboratory and a command center.

To her surprise, about ten golems of the same type as hers were standing along the wall.

When she noticed Rand 11 staring at them, she said, "They all look like me,

They are all just terminals, just like me.

"You mean ...... a tool controlled by a higher being?"

Yes. You seem to know your stuff.

In short, he's like the Lao Tzu to the Lao You.

"You mean that Helente is a puppet controlled by a higher being?"

That's right. That being is the brain that controls this facility.

Nevertheless, it is clear that he is not a mere puppet by the way he speaks, including his personal name.

"Come on, check it out."

In order to accomplish what we came here to do, we must first make sure that HELENTE is aware of the dangers of the long-period planets.

Okay, okay. Wait a minute.

Herenthe operated some kind of machine or magi-machine. Then a part of the wall glowed and became a monitor.

As she operated the machine further, outer space was projected on the screen.

The position of the projected stars changed rapidly, but when it stopped, it showed the = .

"How is this ...... doing?"

The old man asked, borrowing a phrase from Rand 11, as he saw how easily the image projected out into space without any telescope-like facilities.

The light wave is captured by using the magic wave as a carrier wave. The images are being delivered here via a virtual relay point.

"You can do that ......?"

Hmmm, now you understand at least the concept. Well, you seem to have a fair amount of technical knowledge.

Parente seemed to be a little impressed.

After that, he silently observes and seems to be doing some kind of calculation.

Land 11 is not at liberty to speak, so he observes the work in silence while observing the interior of the room.

The room is filled with equipment whose purpose is unknown even to Rand 11.

It seems that more advanced magical technology is used than in the room 700672.

In addition, the air in the room is almost 100% nitrogen.

This seems to be to prevent deterioration of the equipment and materials.

Hmmm, this may not be good.

After working in silence for about 10 minutes, Mr. Herrente opened his mouth.

Indeed, <> is on a trajectory that passes near Ars. Moreover,<>

"Moreover?"

Tomorrow ......, in 13 hours, it will have a near miss with the fifth planet. And when it does, it will have some effect on the fifth planet.

What are the ramifications?

Unfortunately, we don't know that much. We don't know the structure of the fifth planet, so we can't speculate.

Could it be a giant mass of hydrogen and helium?

Rand 11 pulls out what Jin knows about Jupiter and says, "It's a huge mass of hydrogen and helium, isn't it?

Helente could not hide her surprise at the contents. You know so much about Jupiter? Yes, we know from spectral analysis that the hydrogen and helium are present near the surface. But we don't know the interior.

Jupiter, too, is said to have a core, but neither its size nor composition is known.

Either way, it will happen in about 13 hours. We will just have to wait and see. We must do everything we can to prevent the disaster that will follow.

"......"

* * * *

Herente said he would not watch for another 13 hours.

Jin saw that she seemed to have gotten to know Rand 11 a little better and decided to ask her a question to confirm her doubts.

"Why is there so little free magical element (ether) in the southern hemisphere of Ars?

That's the question.

The truth was about to be told.
