"The basis is the <>."

Jin explained the basic magic control flow (magi sequence) to Erza.

"...... amazing way of thinking."

"Father, what about the <>?"

"I'll have to prepare that as well.

I'll take care of that.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Reiko, who had been Elena's assistant when she repaired the tank, remembered the structure of the tank.

Jin felt confident in entrusting her with the work.

"Make a little extra, please."

"Yes, sir."

Jin had some thoughts about it, and decided to have more ether tanks prepared.

"It's not something that will go to waste."

Jin, Elsa, and Reiko, with > as their assistant, began their work.

"We don't want to collect them in a haphazard way, we want to prioritize the concentrated ones first."

"So, this is how the Magi Formula works here?"

Yes, that's right. And this one is like this.

"Brother Jin's ideas are amazing as always."

Reiko glances at Jin and the others who are exchanging such ideas, and proceeds with her work.

"We'll prepare 200 pieces, since you asked for a large number. Craftsman 25, please.

Yes, ma'am.

Since this is based on an existing one, there are no difficulties in the work, except for a few modifications to increase efficiency.

However, since this is a product of Horaijima, it is written precisely on a small magic crystal (magi-crystal) in which it is usually impossible to write a magic formula (magi formula).

In other words, in a sense, it is also the utilization of waste products.

In this way, the preparations necessary for the binge-eating grasshopper were completed on the same day.

"This one is ready. What about you?"

Late that night, Jin and his team gathered at the command center.

"Yeah, we didn't get much done in half a day, but we made some progress.

I guess that's what you have to do when you're dealing with someone.

"Well, let me explain what I found out.

Goose looked at Saki. Saki opened her mouth in response.

"First, let's start with your food preferences. The first thing he likes to eat is vegetable matter, followed by animal matter. Minerals are not so much. They do nibble, though."

"Hmm. Well, then I guess we have to worry about crop damage."

"That's right. I've done some comparisons, and it seems that barley, wheat, and rice prefer the berries to the leaves. ......

"Oh, that's not good. ......"

"And for animal matter, when they compared fresh meat to dried meat, they preferred fresh meat."

"That's even worse."

It's too dangerous.

"As for the strength of its jaws, it can gnaw through steel without difficulty. Adamantite it can't. It's somewhere in between. I don't have time to go into that yet."

No, thank you.

We still have a long way to go before we know if the environment has changed.

That's all," Saki concluded.

"Thank you. That was helpful. ...... but we'll have to hurry up tomorrow."

Then, the old man gave an interesting report.

"Oh, I see. Then the damage will not spread during the night.

Jin announced that he would begin his activities before dawn the next day.

"I hope the will be able to do this kind of work eventually.

This was an emergency situation, and Jin could not just ignore it.

"Well, since there is a time difference, we should move at 9:00 a.m. Horai Island time."

"Kuhu, that's right."

Since it is good to have some time to spare, Jin and the others decided to take a hot spring bath to recover from the work and rest for the night.

On the other hand, the old lord is active day and night.

A mobile terminal << Lao Tzu> was sent to the area by a transporter to continue further investigation.

Just then, there was a group of about 50 animals that had strayed from a larger group.

<<......After all>>

As soon as the magic light was turned on, the ravenous grasshoppers began to move.

Having found out that the reason why the ravenous grasshoppers stop moving at night is not because of the temperature but simply because they are blind at night, Lao Kun started further investigations using <>.

<>.

It was found that the ravenous grasshopper reacts most strongly to light in the blue, violet, and ultraviolet regions.

If we can make a powerful ultraviolet generator, we may be able to gather the ravenous grasshoppers in one place.

The old man is not satisfied with this achievement and continues to investigate further.

>

The old man manipulates < to collect data on the ravenous grasshoppers.

<

It will be dawn soon.

>>.

captures about fifty of the ravenous grasshoppers with her warding and sets them aside for Saki and the others to study.

Saki and her team had caught about 50 grasshoppers and had secured them for Saki's research.

"What's going on?　The number of grasshoppers is increasing.

"There's no way they multiplied ...... overnight."

The next morning, Saki and Goose are puzzled by the increase in the number of grasshoppers for their experiments.

"Oh, I see. But thank you."

"Yeah. Let's start the experiment."

Saki and Goose were satisfied with the explanation from the old man and started their research after breakfast.

The old man explained the data on the wavelength of light.

"I see. I see. You have saved us a lot of trouble.

<

"No, I think it's a good thing we're wasting time right now."

Jin adds.

"Okay, let's get today's plan together."

In about two hours, we will be on our way.
