now has eight (8) < and <, Jin D, Reiko, <>1 There are 01.

"Well then, first of all, let's have you meet the of this base."

"Yes, that's right."

Jin D suggested, to which the spokesman, , replied.

They moved out of the room where the transfer magic circle had been set up.

The next room is the one where the < is located.

<

<

"Oh, it's been a long time.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

"You haven't changed a bit."

The <> uttered their own words.

Yes, they were still alive at the time of the construction of , and Jin and the others guessed that they had probably helped with a large part of the work.

The three who voiced their nostalgic memories were <><><>.

From this, Jin-D thought that these three persons must have been especially involved in the construction of the base.

>, <>, <>, and everyone else, congratulations on your revival>>.

"Mm, thank you."

<> replies on behalf of the others.

.

"I see. <>, you were also serviced by Mr. Jin, weren't you?"

<

"Oh, I see!　We have found a good man in each other.

Seeing <<> and <> exchanging friendly words, Jin D. realized once again that <> Malicka is unshakable.

* * * *

Meanwhile, the old man of Horai Island was trying to gather information about the <>.

Jin is now piloting <>, and Reinhard, Luis, Elsa, Hannah and others are consulting with him.

> and couldn't observe it.

"I see, so that's who I'm dealing with."

Reinhardt frowned.

"It's like an unlimited self-evolving magical brain created by ......<>."

This time Lewis mutters.

"It's a pretty nasty opponent, don't you think?"

<

The old man also feels that this opponent ......<> is not a simple opponent.

Probably, if Horaijima puts forth its best effort, it can be conquered and destroyed. However, that is not what Jin wants, and above all, the idea of "destroy them when you see them as enemies" is too dangerous.

The foundation of the old man's ethics is based on Jin, to which experience and knowledge are added.

And the total result is not much different from what Jin has.

The exception would be the handling of the matters that the old man judges not to be for the benefit of Jin .......

I will leave it at that.

is also a very good magic brain, probably created by in the long past.

The current Mere Old Man could not take the option of destroying it because it looked dangerous.

He decided to take this opportunity to call them all back to Horai Island, do some maintenance, readjust their equipment, and then send them out to investigate.

* * * *

<, he met <, the guardian brain.

<

"Oh, you too. I'm glad to hear you're doing well."

"Yes, I'm glad you're doing well. Jin told me what was going on. It sounds like you had a rough time of it.

"It seems so. I'm glad to hear that.

Here, too, a friendly meeting took place.

"Jin, it seems you saved <>. I thank you for that.

"Indeed...one wrong move and we would have ended up like ."

and said.

According to them, <> was destroyed by <> because it was about to go out of control like <> and <>.

"It is ...... not impossible, is it?

The general management magic brain of <, the present <>, the <> in front of you, and the <> you just met were, in a word, <>.

It is no wonder that <'s general management magic brain has also gone crazy.

In that sense, it can be said that Jin and his group saved <> and <> at a really good time.

However, <> could not be saved in time. .......

"I hope to restore <> someday.

Jin D muttered, and <> nodded.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Jin. It's a place that has a connection to our next generation, after all.

"...... but we'll have to do something about <."

"Mm............"

Jin D wondered why the <> seemed to get sloppy when <<>> was mentioned.

Jin-D guessed that they might have something they are reluctant to say or something they want to hide.

* * * * * *

In the course of the investigation, the old man had given new equipment to all the members of the Shinobi Unit.

<>. It does not allow heat rays to penetrate. It nullifies any physical attack.

It is a barrier that cuts off the continuity of space, so that not even impact can be transmitted. <

There is a drawback, however.

It consumes a lot of mana.

The small area of the < makes it manageable. Even so, it can be deployed for less than 3 seconds in a row.

"Wakarimashita."

<> and a peeping telescope specialized for short-range clairvoyance>>.

This is equipment for Shinobi troops who have difficulty opening and closing doors and doors due to their physique.

<> which specialize in short-range clairvoyance, and then transfer there with the >.

<<>.

<

Thank you very much.

And so, armed with their new equipment, the Shinobi troopers set out for the security facility .
