Since then, he had somehow remembered and wanted to visit the village.

He went to Horai Island once by the warp gate of the carriage, and then went to the warp gate set up in the shelter outside of Kaina Village.

It was nighttime in the village of Kaina.

The weather in Deleid was clear, but it was lightly overcast here. The air was somehow tepid, like a spring night.

"I guess everyone is already asleep. ......"

The night comes early in the village of Kaina, where there is little in the way of entertainment and most of the work is done on the farm. Most of the households go to bed at dusk.

The moonlight through the clouds makes it possible to see the road. Jin started to walk alone along the nostalgic road.

"Martha, Hannah ......, I hope you are well.

Gently, he peeks over the hedge at Martha's house. I could see Hannah's room through the mica window that Jin had installed.

Jin wants to take a peek, but he almost thinks that it is a pervert's thing to do, so he circles around the house and moves on.

There is a pump there. It is the place where Jin first created and installed a useful tool with his engineering magic.

"It's working well, isn't it?"

Jin gently moves the handle of the pump. <
His next stop was a hot spring.

The sound of hot water could be heard even in the middle of the night.

The roof, which used to be a shack, had been replaced by a beautiful shingle roof, and the entire structure was solidly built. The villagers must have taken good care of this facility.

When Jin looked inside, he found some hot water spores in the hole he had dug out, so he removed them with engineering magic.

The sedimentation tanks for settling out the dirty water and hot water were also filled with mud, so he cleaned them up with < and .

Jin walked around the village again. When he came out to the plaza, light red flowers were in full bloom in spite of the dark moonlight.

"Query flowers, huh? They really look like cherry blossoms.

It was my favorite flower when I was in Japan. Jin looked up at the query in full bloom for a while.

"Master!"

Someone noticed Jin and called out to him. When he turned around, he saw..,

Gen.

It was Gen, the golem. He seemed to be on guard duty in the middle of the night.

"How are you doing tonight, sir?"

"Yes, I wanted to see the query flowers."

Jin answered in a somewhat embarrassed manner, even though there was no need to hide it from him.

Then, he suddenly thought of something.

"Gen, how is Gon doing?"

"Yes, I think he is patrolling the village guard as well."

When Hitoshi heard that, he said,

"All right, let's go in order. Gen, follow me."

"Yes, sir."

What Jin came up with was that Gon and Gen had not yet been given any countermeasures against the . At the same time, the golem horses had not.

So Jin was going to take countermeasures against the golems left in the village of Kaina as soon as possible.

"Laozi, do you have all the materials for the countermeasure?

"Yes, my lord. We have already prepared countermeasures for all golems in Horai Island, and we have 100 sets for spares and replacements.

"Alright, I'll take the same countermeasure for this now. After that, we will do the same for and the five golem horses.

"Yes, sir."

Then Jin, with the support of Lao Tzu, applies the countermeasure against the rewriting magic of slavery to Gen. At the same time, he adjusted and optimized the magi devices and performed overall maintenance.

As a result, Gen's output was increased by about 8 percent. Overall, Gen is now able to produce about 30% of Reiko's output.

We have also added a stealth function and improved it so that it can protect the village in secret.

"Okay, Gen, go back to the village and tell Gon to come here."

"Yes, master."

And he did the same for Gon. Next, he gave the golem horses Ein, Tsubai, Dry, Cuttle, Sanku, and Hanna's Mint, and then relieved Jin.

"If the village of Kaina is attacked, we will be in trouble.

The horses are not equipped with stealth.

After all the improvements were completed, Jin moved back to the village of Kaina.

The shelter with the warp gate is located on the outskirts of the village, and the Erme River is close to the shelter.

This time Jin decided to go to the Erme River.

The spring grass was just beginning to sprout on the riverbank. Jin's face breaks out in nostalgia as he steps on the gravel of the riverbed.

I remember when we played tag in the water at that pool. I think it was back then that I found the Magi Stone mixed in the sand.

Jin used it to make a stove and sold it to the merchant Roland.

"It seems like a long time ago, but it's only been about three months.

It feels like too much has happened," Jin recalls after leaving the village of Kaina.

"Meeting Beena in Blueland, making popcorn, building a refrigerator, meeting Count Kuzma, Reiko's big stand-up act..."

It brings back memories.

"We built a golem ship in Potrock, fought with the Death Serpent, and started traveling with Reinhardt and the others."

It seems like only yesterday, or a long time ago.

"We made kites, caught bandits, maintained the Kunlun Island, made Lotte, and oh yeah, there was the golem riot."

<>, Jin was in a state of mind that made him want to mutter a famous line from an anime.

In the meantime, the eastern sky is getting lighter.

The morning comes early in Kaina village, which is much further east than the town of Delhi where Jin and his friends are now traveling and staying.

"It's about time for the early risers to get up," Jin muttered to himself.

Jin mutters to himself as he walks toward the shelter where the warp gate is located.

"I'll be back!"

With that, he dived into the shelter and jumped to Horai Island through the warp gate inside the shelter.

It was still nighttime in the town of Delhi.

After returning via Horai Island, Jin quietly returned to his room at the inn and fell into bed.

He then went into a short sleep until the morning.

Little did he know that Reiko, his faithful automata, had been following him all along.

"Father, ...... are you satisfied?"

Reiko murmurs to Jin as he sleeps, looking at his satisfied face.

There was still some time left in the morning, and the stars were twinkling above the town of Delhi.
