On the morning of March 24th, Jin left Goh and Rubina at and headed for the with a two-day schedule.

Of course, this was to check out the newly discovered .

We take off from in the , piloted by Hope.

<

The flies at 300 km/h.

< and the is about an hour and a half. It is not so big that you don't need to worry about it.

However, since the distance is nearly 1100 km, it takes about 4 hours even by <>.

Using that time, Jin used the warp gate to move to Horai Island.

<

"I'm home."

The old man welcomes you.

"Quickly, can you tell me about the ruins discovered in the Nordic Federation?"

<

The old man has been watching Rhodoth and the others with his peepers.

He was able to see underground, so he had found their hideout before Rhodes and the others did.

As a result, they did not give any advice because there was no danger.

Therefore, what Jin was informed of was a detailed report.

"I see. So there was no important information.

>

"Is there something on your mind at ......?"

>

"What is it?"

"What?"

<>? And it was locked.

"Well, that makes me wonder."

"Is that so?"

<<<

But I don't know where to start.

"Oh, there it is."

<<<

Please.

For the old man, the task of examining 10 control cores is nothing short of child's play.

But this time, he spent a good (????)10 seconds.

"Oh, is it?"

<<

"Oh."

>.

"Oh, so?"

<

"Can't you do it?"

"Okay. So you are hoping to find some clues at ...... where you are going?"

<>

"Yes. It's possible we won't get any clues, so don't spend too much resources trying to unlock it."

.

After such a meeting, Jin returned to the .

He is now over the Kingdom of Franz.

"There's still a lot of snow on the mountains here."

It is still March, so even though it is spring, there is still plenty of lingering snow on the high mountains in the north.

"If Arnold sees this, he's going to want to climb it.

Jin chuckled, imagining that he would be saying, "I'm going to climb every single one of them.

And so crosses the Kruger Mountains.

"I wonder if this is where the invaded the Kingdom of Dinar 750 years ago.

< at that time were controlled by the . Jin thinks back to those days, "They were certainly worthy of being called the by the people of the Laurentian continent.

< flies through the blue sky.

* * * *

11:00 a.m. local time. < had landed by the ruins of a place called .

Jin, you came.

"Thank you, Jin-san."

Theon and Rhodoth greeted him.

"No, I heard you found the ruins and I wanted to have a look.

"That's just like Jin. But honestly, it's a great help.

Zion laughed and left Rhodes in charge of guiding Jin.

Rhodes also had a hard time as leader, didn't he?

"No, it was worth the effort. ...... is this way."

"Oh."

< had a temporary roof over it to keep the rain out.

Lighting has also been added to make it brighter and safer.

The air conditioning has been installed, so the air is fresh.

"That's great."

Jin entered under the guidance of Rhodes.

He was accompanied only by Reiko and Momoko.

"Where are the others?"

"None at the moment."

"Well, that's just fine."

When Jin heard that there was no one else with him, he explained his guess to Rhodes.

Rhodes, who was also well aware of the old man's abilities, took his guess seriously.

"Indeed, it was odd that <> was the only one who did not have additional information, ......"

"If <> didn't have the additional information due to lack of time, the old man said, he wouldn't have been able to set up the release key and maintain the safe house in time."

"That may be true."

But it is not clear to me what I have to do to release the additional information about .

"Anyway, why don't you call the <> here?"

"Yes. Only < who has <> is over there, but the other nine are here for the time being.

So, I asked Momoko to call for me.

"Momoko, go upstairs and get < at ......."

"Oh, excuse me, Mr. Rhodes. I'd like Momoko-san to call <> together with me."

Reiko suddenly said.

Actually, the old man had informed me via the built-in manacam that there might be a connection between <> and <>'s unique information.

"Momoko, please."

"Yes, I understand."

Momoko moved swiftly and headed for the top.
