Elena's repairs went smoothly.

< was not as good as the Horai Island specs, it was still first class material, and the same goes for the material for .

The <> was intact, so it was used as is, while the damaged ether converter and mana driver were replaced with new ones.

Rhodes was in charge of the visual (eyes) and auditory (ears) systems, Reiko was in charge of the vocal system (vocal cords and mouth), and Hope was in charge of the head molding.

Jin is in charge of the wiring of the magical nerve lines.

"There we go."

The shield case is embedded in the chest, and the Magi Certifier is also attached.

Once the overall shape is set, the skin is covered, and hair is planted.

"Rhodes, is it done?"

"Yes, I'm almost there."

Rhodes is impatient. Jin, who has done 10 times more work than he has, is faster.

"Don't be in a hurry, just do a good job.

He continues to make minor changes to the figure. Reiko, who would most likely remember Elena's face from the past, was entrusted with the facial modeling.

After making the overall adjustments, Jin began to make the clothes. After all, Elena is completely naked now, which is a sight for sore eyes.

"Jin-san can make clothes too. ......"

Rhodes looked strangely impressed.

"Father, it's done."

"Good, I'm done too."

Jin made clothes out of the cloth woven from the threads of a ground spider, though it was only one-third as strong as the one from Horai Island.

Reiko put it on Elena and the work was done.

"Okay, let's reboot. "

"...... yes"

Elena slowly got up.

"Elena!

"Elena-sama!"

Leelia and Arrieta, who had been looking at her anxiously, jumped on her.

"You must be Leelia ...... and Arrietta. I'm so sorry I worried you."

"No, no. ......"

"I'm glad you're back ...... to normal!"

But Elena denied it.

"No, it's not back to normal."

"What?

Leelia and Arrieta pulled away from Elena with a surprised look on their faces. Their faces were pale.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Don't worry about it. I didn't mean it in a bad way."

Elena smiled softly.

"I am now fifty times better than I was before I broke down."

"Yes!

Fifty times more powerful sounds like a huge improvement, but the original Elena was detuned and could only show twice the physical ability of a human being.

Now, Elena is 50 times more powerful than the original Elena, making her 100 times more powerful than a human being.

Even so, her performance is less than one-third that of the golem and automata of Horai Island. This was due to the limitation of materials.

Jin made it the best he could with the materials available today.

"Thank you, Jin-sama, for fixing it."

After calming Lelia and Arrietta down, Elena turned to Jin and bowed deeply.

"I never thought I would actually meet you."

"Really?　Really?"

Elena said something that bothered Jin a little, so he asked her if she was sure.

The old man had told me a little bit about you about 400 years ago. Jin-sama, who had gone missing, temporarily appeared 400 years later ...... in this time period, and then returned to the original time period."

"Oh, I see."

Elena is under the mistaken impression that Jin here is the . The old man may not have told her the exact age, or Elena's broken sense of time may have been a little off.

Jin thought that he would clear up the misunderstanding later. Because Lelia and Arietta looked like they wanted to ask him some questions.

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

An hour later, Jin, Rhodes, Reiko, and Hope were chatting with Elena in a kind of reception room.

"Leelia and Arrietta are the ones I've loved since they were little."

"Oh, that's why they were so desperate."

Jin thought that their attitude made sense then. In fact, it made him smile.

Jin then explained about his present self.

"I see, Jin-sama <...... doesn't understand you at all."

Elena smiled at him.

"In any case, I can only thank you for restoring ...... this body to its original, much better state."

"But who the hell ...... is this person who did that to Elena?"

Elena's face tightened,

I'll tell you all about it, Jin-sama," she said.

She began to speak slowly.

The story began with the following words: * * * * * * *

"It all started with ......, I see...do you know about Golbert Markitas?"

"Yes, I know him.

He took away the majority of our Nostalgia personnel and forces.

Jin took the opportunity to ask Elena.

"Elena, first of all, tell me about Golbert Markitas.　I'm having a hard time understanding what he really is."

Elena nodded.

"I understand. Certainly, very few people know about him in this day and age."

After a breath ...... Elena didn't need one, Elena began to speak again.

"We do not know the childhood of Golbert Markitas."

"Hmm?　I'm sorry, wait a minute. What do you mean?

I'm sorry, wait a minute. No matter how much research I do, I can't find his country of birth, his town, his parents, his family, anything.

"Hmm. ......"

He won't talk about it, so this is a real mystery.

"Okay. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but please continue.

I'm sorry to interrupt you, please continue. ...... So he suddenly appeared on the stage as an adult. First of all, he will be enrolled in the high school of ."

Jin nodded. I know what I'm talking about.

"He was a genius. He was a ...... no, I mean, he was a very mysterious person. Yes, as if he had known all along and had dared to enter the school."

"Hmmm... ......"

"And three years of learning. Golbert Markitas was always in the first class."

"That's amazing."

Having studied at Avalon, Rhodes knows how difficult it can be.

"I dropped out at the end of my third year. He said there was nothing more to learn."

Avalon's high school is a five-year program. To drop out after three years of study is a very good sign. .......

"Should we assume that he had a certain amount of knowledge before he entered the school?"

"Yes. I think that is the most likely scenario."

Elena agreed.

"And for a year, Golbert Markitas did not appear, but the next time he appeared, he was carrying the Magi Emulator," she said.

"So you think he developed it during that one year?"

"I think so. And ......."

At this point, Jin interrupted again.

"I'm sorry. But before I forget, did Golbert Markitas ever give any indication that he was going to rebel while he was in school?"

Elena shook her head in denial.

"No, at least, I don't think people around him were aware of it."

"Well, I'm ...... sorry, please continue."

"Yes."

Elena's story continues.
