Hourai Island was moved to .

It is something that Jin has always had in his mind.

He felt that there was a limit to his activities while trying his best to hide his existence.

He thought about moving the base to the moon or outer space, but he was somehow uncomfortable with the idea of a base in a vacuum.

<<

, that is, the Hailians were forced to move to Ars because of the depletion of resources.

<

"That is true."

<<

We can also recycle them," the old man said.

"We have resources recovered from the long-period planets, and we can go to the exoplanets to mine for resources if the need arises."

< abandoned Hale.

Certainly, there are many technologies that <> has and Jin does not have.

However, there are also technologies that Jin has but <> could not develop.

"I don't know why < didn't go to other planets to mine resources with a spaceship ......, though."

<? >>

"Hmmm ......"

I can't go any further than to say that it was because of this mentality.

If they didn't like the idea of plundering from other planets, why did they move to Arus?

"First of all, maybe they developed their spaceship technology after they decided to move there.

If they had it from the beginning, they might have sent their spaceships to get resources, Jin imagines.

"Well, that's something I can't answer," he says.

"In any case, there are no inhabitants in Hale now. Maybe we could consider a reverse migration, a return, something like that?"

<<< Okay, I see what you mean. ...... would require a very large ship, or a very large transfer unit. If you want to move the whole Horai Island, that is.

"I'll leave that to you, old man.

In any case, Jin is supposed to go back to 400 years ago tomorrow as scheduled.

In other words, everything will happen after Jin is gone.

Of course, the that I just came up with will remain a secret.

"Well, ......"

Jin thought again about what he had left to do in this time.

After all, he knew he would never be able to come back.

Is there anything he can do not only for himself but also for Reiko and the old man?

Is there anything I can do for Golem and the others? .......

And so Jin thought to himself,

"Reiko, I'm going to look around Horai Island, will you follow me?"

"Yes, Father!"

Yes, Father!" Jin thought, "I'd like to meet the I've created once more.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Father."

Reiko brings out a six-wheeled golem-engine car. Jin had built it for patrols, and Saki, Reinhard, and Hanna had ridden in it.

"Okay, let's go. We'll start with the fields and orchards to the east.

"Yes, sir."

The drive is almost silent. The golem-engine car started to drive slowly.

"The fields have expanded after all. And rice paddies.

"Yes."

The area under cultivation seems to have doubled since Jin knew.

The early rice is almost ready for harvest.

"I guess so."

The early rice is already dropping golden ears.

Jin waved to the golem maids working in the rice paddies.

The same goes for the fields.

Buckwheat, topopo (potatoes), itopo (sweet potatoes), black-eyed peas (cowpeas), red-eyed peas (adzuki beans), round peas (soybeans).

Leafy vegetables, leeks. Corn.

And of course wheat and barley.

The harvest is stored in the ether stocker.

When asked what they are doing with the harvest since there is no one to eat it now, I was told that they don't want to accumulate too much, so they are secretly putting it into circulation.

"We buy materials for a price and stock them."

It is a good thing to convert currency into goods, since the economy will not turn if it is kept in dead storage.

Again, Jin waves to the golem maids.

"Hey, guys, looks like you're not doing so bad."

Yes, father. After all, your father made them.

In addition, they are regularly maintained by a craftsman (smith).

"It seems to be running well."

It was so good that it made Jin's heart ache to think about what would happen after he was gone.

The Golem engine car approaches an orchard.

Here, Persica (peaches), Apurul (apples), Citran (oranges), Ramon (lemons), etc., were all bountifully growing on the branches.

"You'll send me to 700672 regularly, right?"

"Yes. Yes, sir.

Yes, please.

The fruit trees soon turn into chestnuts and walnuts.

Golem maids were working here too.

"Thank you, everyone."

They are still working as they have been for 400 years. Just knowing that made Jin happy.

Father, that's our line. Thank you for bringing us into this world.

The Golem engine car arrived at Tatsumi Bay.

Here are the golem maids and the who are rebuilding the fishpond.

"You are hard workers, all of you.

"Your father made it that way for you.

"......"

For a while Jin gazed at the sea in silence.

* * * * * *

On the way back, we take a westward route.

The same golem maids were hard at work in the fields and orchards here.

"...... Thank you, Reiko."

"Father?"

For bringing me into this world. And for becoming my daughter.

Jin tells Reiko his heartfelt thanks.
