The cave was a good vantage point from which to view the foothills of the mountain. Jin looked out over the village of Kaina,
"It's a pity.
He then transfers Gon and Gen, the golems that have been following him. The golem horse,

"Yes, you're right. Well, let's make sure it breaks down after a minute of our use.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no. ......"
An hour after Jin and the others disappeared, Count Walter and the others finally arrived at the top of the mountain. There were already no clues, and snow was falling,
"Count, there is nothing we can do here. We should leave before dark.

The adjutant advised,
"It can't be helped, let's go home."
Muttering bitterly, Count Walter and his soldiers dismounted from the mountain and headed straight for the capital, with the village of Kaina by their side.

"So this is the island where the research institute is located.
After returning to the institute, Jin went outside with Reiko's guidance. The climate was warmer than that of Kaina Village. The climate is warmer than that of Kaina Village. It is not so much a jungle, but it probably rains a little.

"I think we can be self-sufficient if we cultivate the land.
Jin thought it would be possible to cultivate a field. But it is still a long way off. But more important than that.
Find me a tree that grows edible fruit.

Yes, Master.
Reiko and the five golem maids split up to secure some food for the time being.
It took about two hours to find four kinds of fruits and two kinds of nuts. We also found what looked like a rubber tree.

After analyzing them and confirming that they were non-toxic, we tasted them.
Yes, this one is sweet and tasty. This one is sweet and sour. This one is sweet but a little dry. This one is sour."
The fruits are similar in taste to peaches, oranges, apples, and lemons, respectively.

The nuts resembled walnuts and chestnuts.
I think I can manage to eat them. Then gather up about 20 fruits and 10 kilos of nuts each.

"I told you to bring this Jin man to serve the kingdom. And now you treat me like a criminal! And now you've offended him and he's run away! What will you do if he is sent to serve in another country?
"I'm sorry, sir. ....... But there was a possibility, however, that he was controlling the golem and causing harm to our country.
"That too has already been reported. Jin captured the golem with a magic I have never seen before, and made it listen to him.

"My God!"
This is because Licia had been the first to return to King's Landing and report the incident in order to prove Jin's innocence. She was reprimanded for withholding the truth, but this was offset by the fact that she was asked to do so by Jin himself, and by the fact that she herself reported what she had seen of Jin's abilities. The king and the prime minister wanted Jin.
Enough! And no further contact with the village of Kaina! Understood?

Yes, sir.
If we provoke Jin any further, not only will he escape, but he may turn against us. Considering what Licia had told me about his abilities, I didn't want to do that.
"It's not going to work. ......"

Every morning, when she started the pump to fetch water, she remembered Jin.
Since then, Count Walter and his soldiers have passed through the village and left, and there has been no retaliation. Martha and the other villagers were all worried about Jin, who had fled to the mountains.
He's got Reiko with him and he's riding a horse, he'll be all right.

Locke said.
Since the villagers do not know about the warp gate, they all think Jin is hiding in the mountains. So they sometimes go to the mountains with the remaining golem horses to search for Jin, but of course, they have no success.
Then one day, Licia came to the village.

"And His Majesty the King has personally apologized for the misunderstanding and invited Jin-san to come to King's Landing to serve him if possible. He also said that he would guarantee you the position of Royal Magical Craftsman at the very least."
