"Hmm, interesting."

After listening to Jin's explanation in silence, No. 700672 muttered.

"Indeed, there is no guarantee that <> will prevent this disaster."

"...... that's right."

Jin himself had been feeling this for some time, but being told so clearly increased his anxiety.

"But this Adriana Tierra's theory is wonderful. My former had a similar hypothesis."

"Is that so?"

"Is that so? It was said that this world ...... is floating in a larger universe or space.

It seems to have been modeled in the same way.

"Furthermore, there is a from higher dimensions to lower dimensions, which determines the higher and lower levels of space. I honestly don't know what ......me is talking about."

"Yes. ......"

Jin can't understand it either.

"You also said something about a multiverse and that the world is nested.

When Jin heard that, he wondered if he meant parallel universes .......

"But I don't think we can do anything about the current situation just with theories.

"That's right."

"But I don't think that theory alone can do anything about the current situation," he said, "that's right.

"I just think that places with high potential are the easiest to contact.

It is similar to the case of a piece of paper, where a protruding part is more likely to come into contact with another piece of paper.

"A place with high potential: ......"

Jin recalls that Adriana Tierra also referred to a .

"What exactly is this potential?"

"I'm afraid I don't know."

Jin was also disappointed.

"It doesn't seem to be simply a high concentration of free magic element (ether) or something like that.

Because then the ether cloud should be the singularity.

"Yes. If we knew that, it might help us to take countermeasures."

Jin looked back at the record of Shuki Tsetsi.

When he was caught in the overturned tram, the tram did not shift, only he and the objects around him shifted.

I wondered if this could be a clue to what was going on. .......

"Ummm, for example, the that opened at the time of the transfer was small, so that or something like that did not pass through, right?"

"Maybe, maybe ......."

The hypothesis of #700672 seems to make sense.

"That's fine that only he and his bicycle passed, but why would he, of all people, pass at that time ......?"

"I can only speculate on that. Something about ...... people may be the key to transcending space."

"Not related to magic?"

Jin said, remembering how Reiko had found him in a world without magic or anything else.

Unfortunately, the control core of Reiko at that time was so damaged that she could not salvage the memory of the most heavily used area ......, that is, the area filled with the knowledge to search for the successor.

It may be possible to reproduce the same situation in 50 or 100 years.

"The only thing Shuki Tsetsi and I have in common is that we are ...... Japanese. ......

Then one more thing occurred to me.

"Maybe the time line is distorted, too. ......

"What?"

Jin's mutter was overheard by the 700672.

"No, the person named Shuki Tsetsi who was mentioned earlier seems to have come here from the same world as mine. And it was about 50 years ago over there, but it's been a thousand years here."

"Hmmm.........2 does this mean that time moves differently in the two worlds?　I can't say anything about that either.

"So, I guess so. ......"

With too little data to even verify, we can only imagine, 700672.

Jin agrees.

"We are at a complete loss."

"Yes, it's unfortunate."

Since no further progress could be expected, Jin left the 700672 and returned to Horai Island.

* * * *

After returning to Horai Island, Jin took a rest and resumed his consultation with the old man.

<

I thought you said that the radius was from 100 to 1,000 kilometers.

"That is just a guess. Even if the area of effect is that large, the area where you are <> may be small."

<> would take place. I think it is possible.

"I'm getting less and less confident. <

Jin fears that he is about to face a disaster far beyond his own strength.

>

Even the old man was shocked. But Reiko was different.

"Don't worry, your father is not wrong!

The loyal and faithful Reiko raised her voice to strengthen Jin.

"Thank you."

Jin was cheered up by her words.

* * * * *

"...... godforsaken,another world,time line...... honestly,I don't know anything about it."

"I guess you don't. So you don't have to take it too hard."

Once Jin returned to his < on Horai Island, Erza insisted on explaining the current situation to him.

Jin did not want to talk to Elsa about something that would make her mentally uneasy, but when she told him that they had to share the burden, he gave in.

"But, really, how could this ...... happen?"

Jin looked at Erza, who was lying on her face and thinking, and felt like saying something to her.

"For example, there is a being that is looking at the universe and he did something to it.

Jin says something that sounds like something out of a comic book.

"What?"

"No, so, if you compare the microcosm to a fish tank, there is a looking at it, and that did something to it, like throwing a rock or something."

"......"

"You can't be serious, can you?"

"...... are those beings so big, they don't even notice us?　Like ...... we don't know about microorganisms."

"Well, yes. "Well, maybe we're too big for the microorganisms to see the whole picture."

Jin mentioned the idea in a playful manner, but Erza unexpectedly took a bite out of it.

Jin said it was a good thing if thinking about this kind of thing distracted her, and he went along with the conversation.

Thanks to this, Erza's color improved a little.

It is very good to relax mentally, even if it is only mildly, as she is probably suffering from some hyperemesis.

So Jin made a suggestion.

"Erza, wouldn't it be better if you went to Kaina village instead of here?"

"......"

"I'll try to go there too."

"......, then I'll do that."

At first he was a little reluctant, but when I told him that Jin would also visit the village of Kaina as much as possible, he agreed.

"Martha will be there, and Dr. Saly will be there, too. I'll feel more secure if you do.

It is not that the old man and the golem maids cannot be trusted.

It is because even they do not have direct experience in such a big event as childbirth.

They have some information about the birth in the village of Kaina, but it is not enough.

Of course, Meene, the mother of the child, will go with us.

This made Jin feel more secure.
