"Sometimes I wonder what I'm supposed to do in this world."
"Yes, I understand that."
In today's world, Jin's level is too extraordinary.
"I've confided in a limited number of friends, but I'm not sure if that will be enough ...... in the future."
"I see."
Hearing Jin's confession, No. 700672 fell silent. He then remained silent and thought for a moment. Jin waited without rushing.
"Let me give you my opinion.
After about two minutes, No. 700672 opened his mouth again.
"Let me start with a general statement. Too much power is either feared or revered.
"...... Yes, that's right."
Jin nodded.
"From another aspect, it can be said that people tend to rely on their .
"Yes."
"In Jin-dono's case, I don't think he has anything to be afraid of. The most likely scenario is that he will rely on you.
"...... understand."
No. 700672 analyzes Jin's position.
"The most likely scenario is that someone will try to gain supremacy in the world by surrounding Jin-dono.
"Oh, I wouldn't like that."
"Oh, I wouldn't like that. ...... the next most likely scenario is that we'll be depended on at every turn.
"Yes."
"It may not seem so bad here, but it's not. It will stifle people's aspirations and hinder their development."
The future doesn't look too bright for the 700672.
"A worse possibility is that people will compare themselves with Jin-den and feel inferior. This is not the way to develop a healthy mind."
"......"
"In conclusion, I think we should keep Jin-dono's true power a secret for the time being."
"I guess so."
The 700672 nodded.
"After a few more generations, dozens of generations, when the level of the people catches up to the current level of Jin-dono, either by themselves or with a little help, then and only then can you tell us everything.
"But that won't happen while I'm still alive, will it?"
No. 700672 smiles wryly.
"That will be the case. Jin-dono and his descendants will have to keep up the pretense for the time being, of course.
"I see. ......
It is true that the human heart is weak.
(If there is someone who is far superior to you, you will inevitably rely on, envy, fear, and be jealous of them. ......)
Jin reminded me of a foreign special effects show I saw in an institution a long time ago.
It is a story about a superhero from another planet who solves many difficult cases.
In that story, too, the main character had a hard time hiding his true identity.
(Is that the same thing?)
In his childish mind, Jin thought that he would not have to go through the trouble of hiding his true identity if he came out as a rumored metahuman.
(It also made sense for the protagonist of the transformation series to hide his true identity. ......)
) It was Jin who made a strange conclusion at an unexpected time and place.
"So, you can mingle with people as you are now, while hiding your abilities?"
"Yes. Yes, it will be hard.
Thanks for the ...... advice.
The way I see it, it's just the way it is.
It will be easier once the mess with Hale is over. Jin decided to think so.
And then...
"What are you going to do with the base you've confiscated?"
700672 asked.
"I've been thinking about what to do with it.
"I know how you feel. It's not good to leave things hanging in the air."
"Yes. ......"
< side says they don't need it because they have the original . He said, "Do as you please, Jin.
"What use is a mega-float with a diameter of 2 kilometers ......"
Even if it is operated in Horai Island, it would be difficult to use.
We can't just send it to some other country ......."
At that moment, an idea flashed through Jin's mind.
"Oh yeah! <!"
"What? What is this "rescue team"?
The unknowing No. 700672 asks Jin a question.
Oh, I'm sorry. My name is <> to be exact. ......"
Jin, who had inadvertently referred to them in the manner of a TV show he used to watch at the facility, reiterated.
"It's called the ...... World Guard, and it's a concept of an organization that recruits personnel from various countries and contributes to world peace beyond national borders."
"I see, interesting. And you're going to use it as a base?
Yes.
Jin came up with the idea of having each country provide materials or funds for maintenance, and after repair, contribute to the world from a location on the sea in the middle of nowhere, with the mention that deus ex machina had discovered the ruins.
"That might be a good idea. I will leave it to your discretion.
Jin felt much more at ease now, but he had one more concern.
"Last but not least, what should we do about the Hale problem?"
"Hmmm ......"
It's a difficult question," said the 700672, who was indeed at a loss for words.
I don't know anything about Hale. I don't have enough information to make a judgment. But if I were to put myself in Jin-dono's shoes, I would need to confirm it.
"I see. ......"
If the beings in Hale need the resources of Ars, there is a good chance that they will react in some way now that their predecessors have been routed.
And it will probably not be a friendly one.
I for one would like to see them avoid a fight, though."
< side of the 700672.
"Really, I wonder what's going on with Hale. ......"
As for Jin, he doesn't want any interstellar war.
"No matter how much I think about it, we don't have enough information. Maybe we should be well prepared and check the situation in Hale."
"......"
"There is no need for you to go yourself, Jin-dono. I'll make sure of that."
"Yes, sir."
If possible, it would be good to set up a temporary relay station along the way.
The 700672 is to place and operate a warp gate or a transfer magic circle at the relay base for backup, evacuation, and other emergencies. I recommended that a warp gate or a transfer magic circle be installed and operated at the relay station for backup or evacuation in case of emergency.
"I see, that would be quite safe, wouldn't it?
"Yes. And you named the brain of the moon ......<>? ......, you might want to take some advice from that as well."
With his knowledge of the universe, <> might be able to give you some different advice," concluded 700672.
"Thank you very much for your help."
"Well, it was a good time."
The meeting ended up being quite satisfactory, and Jin returned to Horai Island with a sense of relief.
"Well, I will be busy again.
From the window of the institute, the sea was shining in the distance.
