On Horai Island, the and Turles were very interested in the images and information sent to them.

"I'd like to see some pictures or ...... from that time."

Turles said.

For his part, it was understandable, as he would be able to see his old < once more.

"Yes, it's valuable information from an anthropological point of view to know how things were back then."

"It's true."

Goose and Vivienne were also curious, since there was no such information in the < they had found the other day.

The old man explains the situation.

"That's too bad."

You can get there right away if you use <<<< the alter ego puppet (doppel)>> but ......>>

"That's it!　As I recall, you made a for the family, didn't you, Jin?"

"Yes, I did. Do you want to use it?

I'd like to.

Wait, wait. Then let's make sure we have enough doppelgangers for everyone.

"Yes, that would be better."

So, Jin decided to prepare for all of them.

He had already made one for Erza and Zion, but he decided to take this opportunity to make a new one with the same specifications.

"Okay, let's do it. Erza, help me."

"Yes.

I'll help you then.

I'll help you, too.

I'll help you, too.

Not only Erza, but also Reinhard, Bina, and Maricka volunteered to help, so the five of them and Reiko headed for the workshop.

"I just tweaked her appearance based on a generic alter ego doll (doppelganger), so I need to do a little more work on her," said Reiko.

"I understand.

"I'll prepare the skeleton, can you fine-tune it to each person's size?"

"Okay."

Okay.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

I'll take care of it.

Since we divided the work in such a way, everyone's work was finished quickly.

Reiko assisted Jin in making the basic parts, while Reinhardt made the male parts and Bina and Erza made the female parts.

The clothes were prepared by Maricka.

As a result, it took three hours for all the members to complete their work. It is 4:30 p.m. in the evening.

Jin asked everyone to check the usability of the machine.

The pilot sits on a special seat and uses an electroencephalographic connection.

The sensory feedback is set to medium, but it can be made stronger or weaker depending on the user's preference.

The most difficult part to adjust is the sense of touch. It is not good if it is dull, and it is not good if it is too sensitive.

The user is expected to fine-tune the tactile senses as he or she uses the device.

The sense of pain has a limiter, so that the pain over a certain level will be clipped.

"This is great!" "This is very convenient!

"This is so convenient!"

"It seems to be easier to use than before."

"Hmm, you have one for me too. Thank you, Marikka! Thank you, Mr. Jin, for all your help.

Father, there is one for us too.

I prepared one for Rouge and Neige as well.

Jin was relieved to see that everyone seemed to like it after trying it out.

After the trial operation, it was time to have dinner before actually using .......

After all, human habits are important.

The menu was "matsutake mushroom rice".

To be precise, it is "matsutake-mokudo gohan".

In the coniferous forest in the northeast of Horai Island, a mushroom that looks and smells just like matsutake mushrooms has been discovered.

If it looks, smells, and tastes just like matsutake mushrooms, we should be able to call them "matsutake mushrooms" instead of "matsutake mushrooms," but it is difficult to call them that because they were found not in a pine forest but in a coniferous forest such as Tsuga or Abies sachalinensis.

Then, soup of matsutake mushrooms. The tea was hojicha.

"This is delicious!"

Reinhardt exclaimed.

Some foreigners don't like the smell of matsutake mushrooms, but not him.

And then.

"Yes, this is delicious.

"It has a nice aroma."

"The crunchy texture is good, too.

"It goes well with soy sauce-flavored rice."

"The soup is good, too."

"It smells good."

Jin was happy to hear that the other members liked the dish as well.

Jin himself had only had a small amount of steamed matsutake mushrooms in an earthen pot at a drinking party when he was a company employee.

However, he had heard from the director that in the old days, matsutake mushrooms were cheaper and he could eat them once a year or so.

As for the seasoning, Perid and the others in charge of the five-colored golem household chores had already made <<< bamboo shoot rice>>, so they were fine with this, too.

"Another one!

Me too.

"Me too!"

Everyone enjoyed the taste of autumn, even having second helpings.

They all enjoyed the taste of autumn.

"Oh, it was so good!

I can't wait to eat it again.

After the meal, it was time for tea.

Jin takes advantage of this time to discuss his next plan.

"If we continue to search for the , is there any problem?

"Well, I don't think so.

"Well, I don't think so. Next time ...... I hope you find a town with inhabitants."

"I agree, but I doubt it. ......"

"There is also the case of the <>, they may have survived in other ways."

"I see.

There is a possibility that the town is being maintained in the form of mixed blood with the follower tribes.

Jin and the rest of the found hope in this.

And < Turles also .......

"Yes. I think there is a good chance in that way."

However, in that case, we would have to be more careful, since we would have a family that knows nothing but the underground city, and we do not know how they would react if Jin and the others showed up there.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the underground ruins with the doppelganger that Jin made for me, not to the underground city .......

Goose looks happy and says to Jin, "I'll go to the underground ruins,

"Let me know if you notice anything. I'll do my best to fix it.

I'll do my best to fix it.

"Yes, I'll be counting on you then."

Goose also trusts Jin's skill.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

This was the feeling not only of Goose, but also of everyone in the Jin family.
