35 - 01-22 Father and daughter?
"...... I'm sorry you had to go through that."
Jin is now patting the head of a hugging automaton.

"Uh, it looks like you're in the middle of something.
Rock, who was getting impatient, finally called out to him. At the sound of his voice, the automaton steps away from Jin for a moment.
I'm sorry, sir. I have been searching for your missing father for a long time.

Then he tries to speak further, but Jin interrupts him,
He interrupted him and said, "No, let's talk at the chief's house. Mr. Locke, is that all right?"
"Oh, yeah, that's fine. What's the danger from the mountains at ......?"

If you're talking about that mountain I came from, there's no danger. There was a Hecatoncairn, but it interfered with me and I killed it.
"Oh, I see. That's good. ...... Hecatoncale?
According to Locke's knowledge, the Hecaton Cale is a monster that usually takes a company-sized group of people to defeat. The other villagers in the village did not know that, so they were simply happy to be out of danger.

"Not only Jin, but his daughter (?) too. is outrageous too. ......"
Locke muttered and followed after the others a little later. Jin looked at the automata,
"You,...... didn't have a name, did you?"

"Yes, father."
"Hey, this father of yours..."
The man who made me, so I think it's more appropriate to call him Father.

"Oh, I knew it."
Jin had a vague understanding of this, but when he was told clearly, he completely understood.
"So you mean that the previous generation is your mother?

"Yes, Adriana Barbora Zetsi is my mother.
Jin felt that the automata had become much more human. This was only because he had transferred his knowledge. Jin also sensed this.
"So, I guess the name is ......."

After thinking for a moment, Jin said,
"Okay, your name is Reiko from now on."
This is a decent name for Jin.

He had heard that Jin's name was given by the director of the orphanage by taking one letter from the Japanese alphabet, so he had to find a letter for a girl from the five letters.
"Yes. Thank you very much. I am
While talking like this, we arrived at the village headman's house. Jin made sure to remind Reiko of one thing.

"Listen Reiko, keep the Warp Gate a secret.
he instructed in a whisper so that the people around him could not hear him.
At that moment, Giebeck, the village head, came out to see what was going on.

"What's going on here, all of you?"
Locke, who had been walking in the back, stepped forward and spoke briefly about <
"I see. If you're no longer in danger, that's good. Come on in."

"Thank you very much."
So Jin, Reiko, the village chief, Locke, and Tom and the other men came in. And the rest of the villagers who were available came in droves. Thanks to them, the spacious living room of the chief's house was filled with people.
"Now then, let's hear what you have to say.

The chief opened the conversation.
"Well, let me talk first.
Jin was the first to speak.

"This girl, Reiko, is an automata created by my predecessor and repaired by me. She has been searching for me ever since I was sent here by a runaway warp gate.
"Yes. I've lost track of your father's whereabouts, so I'm ......."
Reiko, the automaton, follows Jin's lead and gives a brief explanation of what has happened so far. Of course, she did not mention the warp gate. Still, it caught the listener's interest.

"...... is why."
After Reiko's long talk was over, no one opened their mouths for a while. Everyone was impressed by Reiko's loyalty, sympathized with her hardships, and was amazed by her strength.
"I see, so that mountain lion was fleeing this way because of the Hecaton Cairn.

As Jin said this, the people around him came to their senses,
"So you are no longer in danger?"
"Yes, the wood bears were all eaten by the Hecaton Cale.

"Oh, thank goodness. After all, we only benefited from the large amount of deer meat we caught.
"But still... Laco, right? They're no different from humans. But it's amazing that you managed to defeat the Hecaton Cail in such a way.
"It makes me cry that you came all the way here to look for Jin, who made it for you."

They were arguing and almost losing control of the situation,
"Okay, everyone, if you understand, let's break up. Go back to your homes and reassure your families.
The village head concluded and everyone dispersed. Jin, of course, takes Reiko back to Martha's house.

"I'm home.
"Welcome home, Jin." "What's that girl?"
"Welcome home, Jin ......!

Both Martha and Hannah were surprised to see Reiko. Jin was surprised to see them,
"Let me introduce you. She's my automata, and her name is Reiko. She came looking for me when I went missing."
That's how I introduce her.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Reiko, and I'm an automata. I'm an automaton, and I'd like to thank you for the help you've given my father.
"Your father?
Martha is impressed to hear that Reiko had gone through so much trouble to find Jin. Hannah, on the other hand, looked at Reiko with a somewhat worried look in her eyes.

At that moment, Jin's stomach rumbled,
Well, it's already past noon, I'll hurry up and have lunch. What food don't you like, over there, Reiko?"
Martha asked as she walked to the kitchen,
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"No, I'm an automata, so I don't eat anything.
Reiko answered. Martha again looked surprised,
"I see. I guess that's enough for the three of us then.

With that she went to the kitchen. The rest was Hitoshi, Reiko, and Hannah. Hannah asked Jin timidly.
"Onii-chan, are you leaving here ......?"
"What?"
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"Because Reiko came to pick you up, didn't she?"
Hannah said with tears in her eyes. In response, Hitoshi said,
"No, I'll stay here at least until spring."

"Really?"
"Besides, just because I'm leaving here doesn't mean I won't come back. I'll come back as often as I can.
"Really? Are you sure?

Hearing this, Hannah became visibly more energetic.
"I'm sure, I promise."
"I'm glad. ......"

Hannah smiled with real happiness. Just then Martha came in with bread and soup for lunch.
"Come on, let's have lunch. Are you sure you don't want to eat, Lako?
"Yes. Thank you for your concern.

So Jin, Hannah, and Martha had a little late lunch together. While they were eating, Jin told them that there would be no more danger from the mountain.
"I see. Well, I guess we can rest easy now that the danger is gone.
Martha seemed relieved.

After lunch, Jin took Reiko and went to the workshop while Hannah took an after-dinner nap.
"Well then, Reiko, go and get the materials for the warp gate. I'll ask everyone to make a final confirmation that the danger is over.
"Yes, sir. I'll get right on it."

With that Reiko ran out like the wind, her black hair flowing in the air.
"Now, I'll get ready to set up the warp gate here.
He calls Gon and Gen, who have been waiting out back, and has them dig a hole in the corner of the workshop. What we are going to build this time is not a shelter, but a small room. In Jin's sense, it is about the size of an eight-tatami-mat room. So it was completed quickly.

The walls, floor, corridors, and stairs are all magically hardened and reinforced, and a rather obscure door is placed at the entrance. Eventually, I plan to put up magic wards, but that will come after I return to the institute. If we can go to and from the laboratory, we will be able to create various things much easier than we can now.
"I'm home, sir."
Reiko returns in about an hour, carrying materials. Hannah is still napping.

"Okay, let's set it up right away!"
They plan to install the warp gate before Hanna wakes up and comes to visit the workshop. Jin hurriedly dived into the newly built basement.
"Connect this to this, assemble it, and combine it with this."

Reiko, who had already done this many times, was the main person in charge of setting up the warp gate.
"This is a self-sufficient type, so it can be used already. This is a simple boundary, so it can only be used if the wavelength of the magic power is the same as your father's."
Is Reiko going to be okay?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Yes. I have the same wavelength as your father since he injected the activation magic into me.
"Can you take someone else with you?"
I'll ask him if that might be possible. Jin should have some knowledge in this area, but it seems to take him a long time to search his brain.

"It is all right if they have physical contact with your father or myself," he says.
"As long as we are holding hands, it's all right?"
Yes.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Yes. I'm going home tonight. I have some supplies I need.
When Jin said that, Reiko said..,
"Then I have a favor to ask your father. Would you please improve my magic detection function?"
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
"Hmm? Yeah... because you went through a lot of trouble to find me. Okay, I'll do it as soon as I get back.
And so Reiko becomes an even more outlandish automata.
