On April 6th, after the <> was over, Jin temporarily returned to Horai Island and listened to the report from the old man.

"I see, such a strengthening method was used for the steel of the <>?"

<

"It seems to be applicable, but it also has ...... weaknesses."

>

"Yes. If we know how to enhance ...... it, I think we can disable it with <>."

<

<> is a weapon that forces mana to be converted back into free magic element (ether).

<> and <> work on free magic element (ether), but the steel of <> uses magic element (mana).

Comparing free magic element (ether) and magic element (mana), magic element (mana) is more unstable.

This is because mana is the preliminary stage of magic. It is transformed by the slightest psychic stimulus.

It may be similar to the fact that black powder made from nitre, sulfur or charcoal is more unstable than nitre, sulfur or charcoal.

(Nitrite = potassium nitrate is stable as a single substance, but when mixed with organic substances, sulfur, etc., there is a danger of explosion.)

"Well, that's OK for now. What about the other one?"

"That one. ......"

The old man explained the structure driven by < type magical muscles.

"I wonder if this is OK because it's so big ......?"

Jin felt that this structure would not allow for very subtle manipulation.

However, since the structure with a diameter of 100 meters is to be moved on land, I guess they decided that this level of roughness was sufficient.

"I don't want to refer to this one too much ......, but I think it would be useful to raise the level of current technology ......."

These < structures are not very helpful to Jin, who has made golem horses and multi-legged vehicles, but they are helpful technology for the world as a whole today.

"Please keep both of them in your report."

Thus, the technologies discovered at the mobile base are compiled and returned to the world through <>.

"Now let's see if there is any information left.

<

"Yes.

<

"Yes."

There's a good chance there's nothing left, but we can't give up without looking.

Please.

<

"...... and what about the island of Gasmada?"

"I see."

<<.

"Phil"?　...... Philicious?"

<

"I see."

Philistius was aware that his skills were not up to par, Jin recalled.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of making Delfina's body by himself.

"It's possible that a part or ...... of of it is stored somewhere."

<>

Since this was the case with Delphina, Jin thought it was possible that Phyllius had stored his knowledge and personality as well.

.

"Well, I guess so."

If he has transcribed some of Phyllius' knowledge, albeit partially, and if he is pleased to hear about Delphina, then it is likely that he will have some positive reaction if he brings her to see <>.

"I'd love to take her there if it's not too dangerous. ......"

Since <> would know more or less about the Phylicias, Jin thought that Delphina would want to talk to them too.

"Do you think it would be all right if we form a survey team that includes many Nords?"

"I see."

Jin thought that there would be no problem if the Horai Islanders did their best to protect the island.

But in order to do so, we need to let Delphina know about Horai Island.

The old man thought that it would be all right.

"You think so, too?

Jin agrees with me.

Jin thought that he should ask Theon and Marikka to accompany him and invite them to Horai Island once.

"Oh, I'll invite you, too, Rorona."

<

"Yes."

Jin then begins to discuss with the old man about the timing of the invitation.

"You said you would return today. Delphina will be with you."

<

"Yes, I think so."

Following the old man's advice, Jin contacted Marikka.

It seemed that Zion and his friends had not returned yet.

"That's why ......."

Please."

In short, there was such an exchange, first from Marikka to Zion, and then from Zion to Roland.

After that, Sion told Rorona. Marikka will inform Delfina.

And if it is convenient, she will come to Horai Island today.

Marikka insisted.

* * * *

Jin returned to <>, said goodbye to Tomax Bartmann, Arnold, Eira, Gromma, Cachea, and the other members of <>, and took off in the <>.

We are now free to move about again.

Leaving the control of the <> to Hope, Jin and Reiko returned to Horai Island via the warp gate.

Just at that time, he received a call from Zion.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

On short notice, the members of the Jin family are called.

I tell them the reason and they all agree to come.

Arnold told me that <>. .......

And so from Hale, and from all over Ars, the members gathered again.

"Hey, Jin.

"New member?"

"Rorona's in the family, too?"

"I'm looking forward to meeting ...... the new members."

Lively voices were echoing in the springtime on Hourai Island.
