2678 - - 71-29 The Conquest
Since the date has already changed in Horai Island time, we all decided to take a nap.
Although the <> do not need to sleep or eat if they want to, in normal mode, they are supposed to follow the same lifestyle as they did when they were human beings.
Therefore, we will head at a leisurely cruising speed to the western end of the Racial Continent, and take a nap on board in the meantime.
"Hope, will you take the helm?"
"Yes, sir, I'll take care of it."
Reiko, can you get the location of the rest of the golem party before we get there?
Yes, father. Yes, father. I'll ask the old man to help us.
That's good. That's all right.
< is comfortably built.
The seats are wide enough and recline to make a bed.
The air conditioning controls the temperature, humidity, and air pressure, and the sound insulation shuts out noise.
The only problem is that it is too bright outside due to the time difference, but that is not a problem if you close the blackout curtains on the windows.
The only problem is that you have to go to bed in your sleep clothes.
However, you can change your clothes if you return to Horai Island by using the Warp Gate, and above all, you can sleep over there.
However, since one of the purposes of this trip is to enjoy the <, everyone sleeps in the < with their clothes still on.

Pilot Hope adjusted the speed and woke everyone up eight hours later at 9:00 a.m. Penglai Island time. More than eight hours of sleep.
We are almost at our destination.
"...... Oh, we're there already."
The view of the land below us on the screen had changed considerably. The tropical rainforest is gone, replaced by coniferous forests typical of cold regions.
It is spring in the southern hemisphere at around 70 degrees south latitude.
"It's still dark. ......"
This image was taken by a camera with night vision function, so the image looks bright on the screen but is completely dark to the naked eye.
The west longitude is about 270 degrees. It can be said that the island is 90 degrees east of Horai Island.
In other words, the time difference is 6 hours. It is 3:00 a.m. local time. It is just before dawn.
The other day, at the <>, Jin ...... actually proposed that the canal that separates the Rasil continent from the Laurent continent is at 0 degrees longitude. If the canal that divides the Rasheel and Laurent continents is at 0 longitude and this is approximately 85 degrees west longitude.
Since the date line passes just west of Penglai Island, the date would be October 19.
"Let's wash our faces and have breakfast for now," Jin said.
Jin said. It is so comfortable that it is hard to believe that we are in the sky.
Breakfast was a porridge set meal.
Accompaniments were pickled plums and tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce made from kelp). Miso soup with fu and green onion, and oshinko (Japanese pickles) are also served.
The tea is hojicha.
As we eat slowly, dawn is breaking.
It is 4:30 in the morning.
Reiko began her report.
"With the cooperation of the old man, we have learned that there are only six golem remnants. They are scattered around this area.
"There were fewer than I thought."
Jin said.
"Now we just have to figure out what to do with them."
"Well, let's recycle them as resources."
"I agree with Saki."
I agree with you.
"Me too."
Since everyone was of the opinion that we should recycle them, we decided not to destroy them thoroughly like the <> or the <>.
"Then, do you want to neutralize it with an ?"
"No, if we try to dismantle it, it might reactivate if we stop the ether eliminator."
The < removes the free magic element (ether) of the object.
If it is a <> type golem, it will remain stopped even if it is deactivated, but if it is an <> type golem, it will be reactivated if it is deactivated.
On the other hand, if you don't deactivate it, you can't use engineering magic, so this is rejected.
"Oh, I see. Then ......."
"Leave it to me, father. I'll destroy the Aether Converter with a single blow."
Reiko said. Reiko seems to have her own feelings about the Golem, which was created to destroy her and is still roaming around.
Jin realized this and decided to accept Reiko's proposal.
"All right. I'll leave it to Reiko.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
The first one was almost directly under Jin and the others.
I'm on my way.
The altitude is about 500 meters. <
<, she lands softly on the ground.
He then calls out to the golem that is wandering around.
"Are you looking for someone?"
But the golem did not reply, and jumped on Reiko.
Reiko thought that the Golem seemed to be programmed to judge Reiko's appearance and appearance, and to destroy her,
"I guess you mean no questions asked. Then, let's be reasonable in our attitude.
She then pulled out the from her back.
Then he flashed it right at the side of the golem.
The golem's was sliced open along with its torso, and the golem fell to the ground.
Immediately, Reiko calls Jin with the built-in manacam.
"Father, one of them is done.
"Thank you."
Jin retrieves the golem from the hurricane with his force rod.
He plans to return them to the material later.
"Let's go next. It's about two kilometers south of here.
Reiko says with her built-in manacam, and begins to fly low in the sky using the force field generator.
The reason for this is that the coniferous forest ahead of them is many times faster than running through the treetops.
Naturally, the <> would also fly over them.
"There it is."
Flying at over 100 km/h, Reiko arrives at the site in a little over a minute.
It is a slightly open, sloping wasteland with two golems looking up at the sky. They seem to have noticed Reiko's approach.
"How do they know who am in the first place?"
It is a natural question. And the answer came through the built-in manacam.
<<
It seems that she has analyzed the golem we just recovered.
"As expected of your father!
Reiko pulls out a from her back, adds speed to her flight, and flashes it horizontally in a single, straight line.
The two golems, unable to resist, split into four and fell to the ground.
"Next is ...... a kilometer to the north?"
Once again, Reiko leaps into the air with her force field generator.
She then headed north.
