"Ah, I'm coming back to life!"

Exhausted, Princess Rieschen soaks in the hot springs with her children.

"Come on, Ries, I'll wash your back!"

"Oh, yes."

The children are still in high spirits in the hot springs. One by one they rubbed Princess Rieschen's back with the bath towels.

"Oh, oh, rub gently ......".

Her Royal Highness had delicate skin.

"Oh, this is delicious!"

Fruit juice after a bath. It cools down my burning body.

"It's delicious!

The children are drinking it together. By the way, since we played with Princess Rieschen and took a bath together, today's bath is free of charge (normally it costs 5 tol, about 50 yen).

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

While Princess Rieschen was relaxing in the hot spring, Jin was called by No. 700672.

"Recently, the third spatial oscillation occurred. The epicenter is almost the same as the second one. In other words, Ars has moved closer to the epicenter as it orbits.

The old man had also reported the occurrence of these tremors to Jin.

"The frequency is increasing, isn't it?"

The interval between the first and second was two days, but the interval between the second and third is one day. I'm curious."

No. 700672 gave me a hard look.

"<>?　What's going on with that?"

"We sent it out, but it hadn't reached the area of space yet, so we don't know much about it."

I see. ......

But it is certain that the location of the outbreak is a little closer to Ars.

The old man also mentioned this.

The danger has increased.

"Yes. I hope you can complete the warding as soon as possible.

I understand.

Jin has no interest in sitting back and waiting for danger.

In his spare time, he and the old man have been discussing the matter, and they have come up with a plan.

Spatial blockage is the essence of this project.

It is the and the transition magic circle that connects space to space.

The is a way to reverse the effects of the warp gate.

Since the transition magic circle seems to be more applicable than the warp gate, we are playing around with it.

Jin's specialty is magical engineering, so rewriting magic circle is a little different and time-consuming.

"The complexity of this process is far more complicated than that of erasing the recoil.

"Hmm... I see..."

700672 thought for a moment and opened his mouth again.

"I don't know if this will help you, but I have a suggestion. The ...... magic circle does not have to be ."

"Ah!

Jin had a flash of inspiration from this advice.

"Hmm, you have an idea..."

"Yes, I did. Too many things."

Jin answered a little excitedly.

"When you write a formula, it can be multi-layered, but it never occurred to me with the magic circle.

"That's one of the aspects that can't be helped. Originally, magic circle was written on a flat surface.

It is said that the most primitive magic circle was made by carving it into the ground with a stick.

"But it is also possible to draw a magic circle on two pieces of paper and superimpose them on top of each other, for example."

"I understand. If the two magic circles do not interfere with each other, we can expect a superposition of effects.

"That's right."

Jin bowed his head to show his gratitude to the 700672.

"Actually, the biggest problem was that the magic circle would be too large. If we make it multi-layered, we can make it much smaller.

By making it smaller, it would be portable. This is important.

"I'm glad I could be of help."

700672 looked somewhat pleased.

Then a voice called out to him.

"Father, the spatial monitor has arrived at the area in question.

"It's on the screen now."

< and have become good assistants for the 700672.

"Okay, I see. You can take a look at them too, Jin-dono.

"Yes."

<, and part of it, have gone . The screen was activated.

It is only natural, since it is space that is being projected. It is divided into multiple sections.

"The screen was directed to a total of 15 locations."

Most of them are in outer space, so it's hard to tell which is which.

So far, so good.

And 700672?

"I'll call you when I know something, but for now, I want you to go back. I'll let you know what I find out.

He said his request to Jin. Jin nodded,

"Yes, sir.

and returned to Horai Island.

* * * *

"Yeah. I didn't notice it either.

Since the magecrystal is three-dimensional, Jin had been writing in multiple layers when he was making magic tools, but it had never occurred to him to write magic circle in multiple layers.

"This way, the density of information can be dramatically improved."

<

"When will you finish ...... if I let the mini-craftsman (Smith) do the writing?"

<<<

.

After the meeting with the old man, Jin went to the village of Kaina.

"Hey, sweetie, where have you been?"

At Nido Castle, dinner had just been prepared, and Princess Rieschen, Hannah, and the Prime Minister had just arrived.

"Yes, I've just finished a little work.

Jin simply says and takes a seat. Elsa, sitting next to him, smiles at him as if to say, "I know what you mean.

The bubbly wine from the Kingdom of Elias, which is becoming the standard these days, is poured for each of us. Of course, Hannah and Princess Rieschen are non-alcoholic.

"Well, let's toast to the success of the construction!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Jin stared at the table lined with the food, thinking of what Zion might say to him tomorrow.
