The day after Marcia's new partner was completed, that is, August 10.

After breakfast that day, the Jin family gathered at the institute.

Missing from the group were Zion, the , Rhodotos, the , and Ludmilla.

"Well, I think I said yesterday that I would share my thoughts with you, but to be honest, there are still some things I haven't decided."

"......, I know. Still, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Erza was the first to imagine what Jin was thinking about, and then she understood and urged him to go on.

"The island of Onogoro accepted Marikka. But what about the Nordic Federation?

Jin began to speak slowly.

"Zion and his relatives will be fine. But the rest of them are probably not ...... good."

Jin said regretfully.

"<> thought that we should complete ...... alone, including Zion, of course."

"......"

Everyone listens in silence.

"I just can't stop thinking, 'Who the hell do you think you are?

"Yes, I understand that."

Reinhardt looked at Jin with a slightly pained expression on his face and interrupted him.

"Marikka's rejuvenation will be conveyed to Zion sooner or later from , and I think Zion should be allowed to see Marikka as it is."

"Yes, I think so. I think it's better if Jin tells her.

Reinhardt said, "That's a sign of his trust in Zion.

"That's right. I'm going to ...... after this. I'm not going to ...... tell you that I'm also planning to turn Zion into a homunculus."

"Oh, I don't have to tell you that."

"And here's the part that concerns all of you: I'm not going to tell the descendants of ......<> about all of you. ...... but this is my own idea. That's why I wanted to hear your opinions."

"......"

After a short silence, it was Reinhardt who was the first to open his mouth.

"Well, that's no use. To be honest, I'd like to talk to the descendants directly, but I guess I shouldn't."

His tone was a little sad.

"I'm sorry."

"No."

Reinhard shook his head and asked the others to check.

"How are you guys doing?"

"Well, I can see how they're doing here, so I guess that's okay."

Luis answered,

"Yeah, I guess so. In the first place, it is impossible for us to know how each other is doing, let alone see each other.

Rodrigo also answered.

"Of course, it would be nice if we could meet and talk. But it would be sad to do it over and over again ...... and then have to say goodbye.

Bina said.

"Well, maybe we can make it so that they don't know that we are <> and just see each other for a little while.

Saki also said something like that.

"We have to be flexible about that, don't we? ...... Jin-san and I think we can do it."

Vivienne said the same thing.

"I used to be so lonely and alone that I wanted a golem or an automata to be there for me, but now that I can ...... be with you all like this, I don't have high hopes."

Milowina said that she did not care at all because she did not have any descendants or acquaintances.

"Yes, the biggest fear is that we will overdo it and lose our sense of ethics."

Licia also agreed with Jin.

The other members of the group also agreed that it was better not to have active contact with the descendants.

"Is that all right with you?"

"Yes, of course."

"Yes, it's fine."

"Yes, it's fine."

Thus, the first Jin family was united.

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

"You wouldn't know them face to face, but you would know the golems and automata of the time.

After the discussion, all of us are drinking tea, somewhat tired.

"That's true. So if we are going to meet, we should choose a time when there are no golems or automata with us.

Such is the conversation.

"That's not so difficult, is it? As long as you only invite human beings to Horai Island.

Jin also has an idea of what to do.

"If they have some purpose for bringing us here, we don't have to meet them..."

"Kuhu, that's true."

But Jin was still mulling it over alone, wondering if he still wanted to see Aal, Neon, Edgar, Selene, Arrow, Arco, Vale, the Black Knight (Schwartzritter)...... and the others again.

"In that case, I think it would be best if they kept their word to themselves through the person who is number one on their priority list."

Erza, who seemed to have guessed what Jin was thinking, offered some advice.

"That's true. The original master is probably the ."

Jin could easily find out if he looked into it.

That made Jin feel much better.

"Jin-san, do you know what's going on in <>?"

Licia asked over a cup of tea.

"Yes. It's supposed to be a resort open to the public now."

"Then, what about <>?"

"<> or ......"

Four hundred years ago, Jin was approved by all nations to serve as <>.

<

The old man explained it to me here.

There are still people called <<<< Kunlun-kun deputy>>, but <> was a title that lasted only one generation after all>>.

"So it was."

That's fine, Jin thinks. It would be best if the people of today could use both Wujinggaku and Jade Pavilion.

"If that's the case, it would be a waste to leave <-san as he is, wouldn't it?"

Hannah spoke up this time.

<> takes its name from <>. He used to be the administrative magic brain of the magic fortress, but he has become subordinate to Jin and is now in charge of the Kunlun Island.

"That's right.

Jin thought that the terminal would be enough for him to continue to manage the Kunlun Island.

"Where are you going to move to?"

"Let's see... ...... Horai Island or Hale..."

"Or we could use it as the brain of a spaceship or a space base.

Elsa joined in on Jin's words.

"I guess so. Let's let ......<> decide.

"That's a good idea."

Hannah was the first to agree.

So Jin decided to contact < through the old man.

He asked him the following question,

"I used to be the magic brain of the fortress. I would like to manage a space base if possible.

was the answer.
