On October 7, <> + > continue their research on >.

Meanwhile, Jin and Reiko are going their separate ways. They had returned to Horai Island.

<

The old man had checked it out last night.

"Well, if you say so, I guess we can be sure of that."

<<>

"What?"

The place that the old man mentioned is a place that Jin knows very well.

I once had a plan to develop an island named Fuso Island as a sacred place for engineering magic.

However, that plan was abandoned for various reasons, and the idea of a sacred place for engineering magic was passed down to the of .

It was an island close to Fuso Island.

To give a more specific location, the eastern coast of the Laurentian continent, near the border between the former Kingdom of Leonard and the Kingdom of Egelea, is dotted with islands of various sizes.

There are seven islands that can be called islands.

All of the seven islands are uninhabited and have no specific use.

Fuso Island is the largest island located on the Tropic of Cancer. The others are unnamed.

The most southerly island, which territorially belongs to the Kingdom of Egelea, was the most likely candidate for a remote control base for <>.

Jin suddenly wondered what would have happened if he had chosen the island where the <> were found instead of the island he now calls <>......, but he decided that there was no point in thinking about it.

Then the old man made an important remark.

The old man decided that it was necessary to report it, even if it was unlikely, and for a very good reason.

<

"What?

"I see."

<

"Why is that?"

At Jin's question, the old man paused for a moment before speaking.

>

What I mean here <<400 years ago>> is nothing but the story of the original Jin.

And the fact that the old man asked for permission means .......

"<>?"

<

<> Jin only has memories up to the time before he was caught in the <>, and basically does not know anything after his return.

He will hear from the people around him, including the old man, if necessary.

In other words, what the old man is about to explain to you is the past events that <> should know about.

<, in the year <3464>, in the Nordic Federation on the continent of Gondor, <> were discovered. <

"I see."

<

"<>......<> as well as >, weren't they?"

<>

"So it's more likely to be an base."

<

"Hmmm... ......"

Jin thought about it.

The facilities we have found are probably those of the <. <.

However, since they both belong to the , there must have been some connection between them.

"Are they maintained by Mono, Zee, or some other maintenance golem like that?"

<<

"Sure it is. At ......?"

Jin was not sure what the old man meant when he started this conversation.

had a number of golems for battle. The submarine in the ruins found in the northern part of the former Leonard Kingdom is probably quite powerful in battle.

"Yes, indeed."

<>?

Finally, the old man's explanation and the current situation made sense.

"So that's what you mean. ...... So you are saying that the triangular submarine was waiting for the submarine of the <>, right?"

<

"<> have been fighting each other, if not fighting ...... each other, but fighting each other?

"It's possible. ......"

Since both submarines are unmanned, not manned, there would be no human casualties in the event of a battle.

Not only that,

Not only that, but since the origin <<<< is the origin, they might have been competing with each other halfway as a form of entertainment.

The old man's plausible opinion, "No, but it is possible that the originators of the world are not competing.

"I can't say that they didn't." "Yes, they did.

"Yes, father. <, since they were called ."

"Maybe. ...... Well, I can only imagine now."

Discussing this point would be inconclusive, so Jin decided to summarize for the time being.

"Then, is it possible that the island near <> is a > and that there is another base with submarines on the northern coast of the former Leonard Kingdom, and that the two are in conflict?"

Yes.

Then it was a question of which one to check first, and Jin immediately made a decision.

"Let's check the base where the submarine is located."

He sensed a potential danger.

"The submarine that seems to have been left at the bottom of the sea and the submarine stored at the base. I guess the base is more dangerous."

<<

Yes.

Yes.

Of course, there was no way that Ro-kun and Reiko would allow Jin himself to go out there, so he had to investigate with his <>.

Since the area is uninhabited, the means of transportation is <>. The pilot is Hope.

The plane will take us over the old Leonard Kingdom in an instant.

The old man has already told us our position, so we will head straight for our destination without hesitation.

"You have a base here underground and under the sea..."

Now the are going to investigate the base.
