"Well, first of all, I have some unfinished business to take care of."

On February 1st, Jin had breakfast at Reuthert's house and flew to Horai Island.

"Brother Jin, what's left to do?"

Erza, who came with us, asks.

"It's about Akitsu."

Akitsu is an automata that Shuki Tsezi had installed in the past for educational purposes.

"I couldn't maintain it this time, and above all, I couldn't ......".

Now that he has sent airships to other countries, the possibility of detection from the sky has increased.

I have to take responsibility for this.

"I know what you're saying, Jin. So what are you going to do?

We move it.

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

So Jin dispatched to the site.

"This will be a lot easier."

They are going to move the dome, Akitsu's base of operations, directly to the Kunlun Island.

Adriana, with a diameter of 300 meters, was the perfect vessel for the job.

The dome, 10 meters in diameter and 4 meters high, was pulled from its base using gravity control magic and a force field generator, and stored in the lower warehouse of .

"I didn't think you'd go this far."

Elsa is a little taken aback.

"But I don't want to do anything halfway.

"I understand that.

"<>...... is a facility left to us by Shuki Tsetsi's grandfather, you know.

Reiko supports Jin.

"I know. I thought this was a good idea."

"For my sake, I'm sorry."

The dome is in the warehouse, but Akitsu is on the bridge with Jin and the others.

"No, aunt, this is nothing for your father."

Akitsu is being attended to by Reiko.

Akitsu wonders if Reiko is his aunt. ......

"I wonder where would be a good place to ......."

After some thought, she decides to set up in the woods on the west side of the island, away from the plains where the Wujinggaku and Jade Mansion are located.

A force field generator 《Force Generator》 was used to level the area, and the dome was installed.

The construction itself was completed in 10 minutes by the craftsmen (Smith) I had called from Penglai Island.

"Well, how do you like it, Akitsu?

"Yes, thank you. The place looks very cozy.

Fortunately, the warp gate in Mitsuho has no distance limitation ......, or rather, it has enough capacity, so there is no problem at all for Akitsu to move to this place.

The best part is that Reiko, other automata, and golems can come to see Akitsu.

"I'm glad I've been alone all this time."

Akitzu accepted this measure, expressing the slight emotion he had been granted.

"Aunt, next time I come, I will bring the others with me.

"I look forward to it."

Since Anne, Lol, and Lefa were half-sisters or half-sisters of Reiko, Akitsu would be their aunt, and those whom Jin created would be his nieces and nephews, just like Reiko.

It seems that Akitsu, who had few feelings, was happy to see an end to his long years of loneliness.

Akitsu was happy to see the end of his long years of loneliness, even though he was not very emotional.

"Ah, now I'm done."

"Thank you, Jin-brother.

The relocation took less than half a day. Jin was also relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"To tell you the truth, I realized it yesterday when I was going back home on the < ......".

Jin confides to Erza over a cup of tea at his house in Horaijima.

"I understand. That's why I was so upset."

"Yeah."

Just as Erza was about to say something more, Reiko came rushing in.

"Father, Mr. Zion is here."

"What?"

What?

"Zion, what's wrong?"

As soon as he saw Jin's face, Zion dropped a bombshell.

"Jin, my sister is gone!

"What?

Theon's sister, in other words Istaris, had disappeared.

"Why again?"

"......The wedding is in half a month."

After saying this, Zion turned her head down.

"...... you don't like it?"

Zion nodded silently.

"Well, what did Belials say?"

I remember hearing that Istaris had been betrothed to the Belialus when they had been in the demon territory before.

"...... and Belialis seems to have arranged it."

"What?"

Since he did not understand the background at all, Jin decided to sit down and listen to Zion's story.

There are a few things that came to light as a result of this.

The engagement between Istaris and Belialus had been decided by their parents and grandparents.

In other words, it was a marriage ceremony between clans, and the intentions of both parties were not reflected in it.

"......I thought my sister was happy too. She was beaming."

At the same time, Belial was also not happy about the engagement.

The proof is that he was not in a hurry when Istaris disappeared and Zion saw him smiling at her from the shadows.

"That's not a look you can make when someone you love is missing, that one."

So she secretly asked him about it, and he told her that it was Belial who arranged their escape to the south.

"Uh, the one who arranged the getaway, was it Netros?"

Yes. Yes. How did you know?

"Yes. ......"

Jin thought it was strange that he didn't understand. He felt that his face was reflecting this thought,

"Brother Jin, I think you might not be able to see them if you are too close to them.

Erza chided him.

"Because my sister and Netros have been together since they were little, and they've always been like that, you know?"

"I see. ......"

Jin thought that if they had been brought up like brother and sister, it might be possible that Zion, who was also his own sister, might not recognize that .......

"Hey, help me find my sister!　At least let me know that she is safe and sound,......."

Jin gently tells Zion, who has a desperate look on his face.

"Okay. Leave it to me.
