"Mmmm, could this pure white bread be ......?"

"Yes, we have removed it."

Reinhardt is amazed at the white bread, which is made of wheat husks carefully peeled by hand by the golem maids.

It is a quality that is unique to these women, who are far more patient in carrying out simple tasks than humans.

"...... delicious."

Bina takes a bite and is impressed by the taste.

But, Jin, how could you eat my home-made food without saying anything? Are you okay with eating such delicious food on a regular basis?

"Yes. I don't have likes and dislikes. I'm in the habit of eating food with gratitude.

"That's kind of great, isn't it ......?"

Bina looks at me with a strange admiration.

"This is delicious."

Erza seems to like the fried chicken.

Reinhardt was intrigued by the taste of the dressing on the vegetable salad,

"I think I've tasted this salad somewhere before. ......"

He started talking like some kind of foodie,

"It's a fish sauce I got in Potrock," I said.

I said,

"Oh!　That's it!　That's the taste!　I see... I didn't know it could be used with spices like this!

He was impressed again. Jin had made Japanese dressing many times at the orphanage, so he was quite familiar with it.

"But, Jin, you said you lived here all your life, didn't you?"

"?　Yes."

Bina suddenly asked.

"Do you grow wheat or something on this island?　Or do you buy it?　If you're buying, haven't you been coming to the Blue Lands for quite a while?"

"Ugh."

Jin gets impatient when he is confronted with the inconsistency of the food. Reiko saves him.

"Mr. Beena, the warp gate was not adjusted properly and it was dangerous. That's why I've been sneaking out to buy things like wheat. The first time your father went to the Blue Lands after the adjustments were made perfectly was when he met Mr. Beena."

"Oh, I see. What happens when the ...... adjustment isn't working?"

"You can be sent to the craziest places."

"......I shouldn't have asked that. ......"

He seemed to be afraid of the warp gate for some reason.

After lunch, we enjoyed a leisurely cup of tea and finally began our tour of Kunlun Island.

All of us got on a golem horse and started to tour around the island.

For the three unfamiliar people except Jin, Ames 100 for Reinhardt, Aqua 10 for Erza, and Bina for Bina. For each of the three, except Jin, who was unfamiliar with the island tour, Reinhardt received 100 Ames, Erza 10 Aqua, and Bina 100 Ruby. The person who was in charge of the tea ceremony was still in charge of the tea ceremony and led the way.

Since we cannot visit all of the mines, we head west to the mining area. There is a small hill where the tunnels are located and we have a good view.

The horse is interesting once you get used to it.

Erza seems to like the golem horse.

"He moves really well. It looks just like the real thing.

Unlike modern Earth, where high-speed photography is available, it is not possible to analyze quadrupedal locomotion. Therefore, animal-type golems tend to move awkwardly or look unnatural.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Reinhardt is impressed.

After an hour of enjoying the scenery ......, which was mostly grasslands, bamboo grasslands, sparse forests, and wastelands, there was not much to see, but anyway the group arrived at the mining site.

There, 91 to 100 army golems were working, which was overwhelming to see. Finally, the male golem made its debut.

"Wow, this is amazing!

There is a place where the metal ores that have been dug out are sorted and piled up.

Magi crystals were carefully stored in a covered warehouse, and magi stones were grouped together in magi stones.

"It's amazing to have your own private mine, after all."

"I just inherited it from my master.

This is not correct. Horai Island is, but the development of Kunlun Island has only just begun under Jin's reign.

"Your master ...... was Mister Adriana, wasn't it?　She must have been an amazing person.

Reiko looked happy for a moment when Reinhardt said this.

"If you climb that little mountain there, you have a great view."

Soleil, our guide, tells us this, and we all climb the small mountain on horseback.

After about five minutes, we reached the sea to the west. On a clear afternoon, the shadows of islands could be seen dappling the horizon.

"Oh, the ocean is beautiful, isn't it?

"Really. Is it close to Io or something?"

Reinhard and Erza seemed to remember the Golem boat competition.

Both of them looked disappointed when Jin said that they could not see Io Island from here.

Bina seemed to have seen the sea for the first time and just stared at the sea without a word.

"It's beautiful. ......"

I just thought I heard her voice.

We stayed like that for a while, but we couldn't stay at the top of the mountain forever, so we called out to Beena and went down the mountain.

"Jin, I'm glad I came. Thank you."

Bina, who was in the tail end of the group, muttered to herself.

The sun was already setting when we returned to the pavilion. The sundial in front of the pavilion said it was just before four o'clock.

"Well, Reinhard, isn't it time for you to go home?　Or would you like to stay the night?

When Jin asked this, Reinhardt looked thoughtful. But..,

"I want to stay here."

Erza said so, and Bina said she would stay the night too, which inevitably led to Reinhardt staying the night too.

"Well, then, please come to the hot spring," Jin said.

Jin said,

"Yes, that's it. I've always wanted to try it.

Erza said happily. She must have been glancing at me from the changing room as she was putting on her pants.

In the spirit of ladies first, we decided to let the women bathe first. Soleil and Luna are the attendants.

"Wow! ......"

The bathtub, made of marble and about 4 meters in diameter, was overflowing with hot water. The bathtub is constructed so that the water overflows from the bottom of the bathtub, preventing dirt from accumulating.

The quality of the water here was alkaline simple spring water. The water is mild and mildly stimulating, making it easy to bathe in. It is also good for beautiful skin.

Soleil and Luna poured hot water over their bodies as they bathed.

"Ah, it feels so good!

Bina, who rarely bathes, was simply enjoying herself,

"This hot water. It makes my skin smooth. Is this a hot spring?"

Elsa noticed that the water was different from ordinary hot water and asked Luna who was standing nearby.

"Yes. Your father said that it is mildly alkaline and good for the skin.

"Weak alkalinity?"

I understood that it was good for my skin, though it was gibberish.

So I stretched out in the hot water and stroked my arms and legs.

Elsa glanced at Beena, compared her with herself, and for some reason looked relieved.

"Beena, right?"

"Yes, Erza-sama."

Beena was surprised when Erza called out to her.

You don't have to be so formal. You and I are both guests of Mr. Jin here.

"Yes, thank you very much. ......"

Even so, Bina, a commoner, cannot change her attitude so easily.

What is your relationship with Jin-kun?

"Oh, with Jin?"

Erza nodded and said that she was interested in Jin's behavior, which she did not know.

"Well, about a month and a half ago, I think. I was setting up a stall for magic tools in the suburbs of Blueland, wasn't I? Then I went to ......."

Bina told the story of her encounter with Jin, and how he asked her to help him pay off his debts and help his sick younger siblings, the development of lighters and refrigerators, popcorn and water heaters, and so on, in order.

Elsa listened attentively, but when she finished listening to Bina's story,

"Jin-kun is still Jin-kun. You are the same no matter where you are."

Looking at Erza's profile as she said this and smiled faintly, Bina felt something hazy in her chest.
