What do you think?

After having given the old man all the data he had collected on Lucas's body, Jin asked the old man what he thought.


"You think so after all."

Jin was thinking about it too. Whether they are a different race or an artificially created race, I don't know.

"So, do you think we can trust those two?"

Jin asks the old man, who must have heard all of his conversation with Zion through Reiko, a further question.

"I see."

"That's true. Erza will know, but you will have to tell everyone else."

4:00 p.m. in Kaina Village is 6:20 p.m. in Horai Island. In Shoro, it is 1:00 PM.

"I may be in the middle of work. ......"

Sorry Reinhardt, but this is probably a higher priority.

We contacted him by manacam, and half an hour later, all the members of were there.

That is, Jin, Erza, Meane, Reinhard, Bertsche, Saki, Toa, Stearina, and Vivian.

The emergency was such that all those who could be of help had gathered for the time being.

"Well, there is a reason why I said it is urgent. ......

Jin explained the process from yesterday with the support of the old man.

"That's why ....... Sorry it took so long to get back to you."

"Well, demons, huh? Jin-sama, are you all right?"

Bertsch was the first to sound concerned.

"Yes. Jin, these demons ...... are called Zion and Lucas. Are you sure you can trust them?"

Reinhardt also expressed his cautious opinion.

"Yes. The old man and I are of the same opinion that they can be trusted. Not quite trustworthy, though."

"Well, I know ...... that ...... Markosias and Androgyas. ......"

Saki also has a look of doubt and skepticism on her face.

However, with the exception of Jin, Erza, who had met them face to face, had a different opinion.

"My impression was that they were no different from humans."

"What?"

"When I examined them, their physical mechanisms were no different from those of human beings."

"Hmmm......... If that's the case, what about that seemingly abnormal strength and endurance, as well as his special abilities?"

Reinhardt looked unconvinced by Erza's explanation. Then the old man called out to him.

The old man considered that the fainting androgythms, though powerful, had been turned to ashes by fire magic.

"Yeah, that's for sure. ......"

As a man who ended his life on earth by falling into the ladle of an electric furnace, the idea of being burned to a crisp is not something that I can get behind. He was a little traumatized, however.

"...... the free magic element (ether) in the body turns into heat and instantly turns into ashes......?"

The old man's hypothesis is a reasonable one. If the cells that make up the body are themselves made of magical isotopes, they should be highly compatible with magical power.


"Well, that's true. I guess that the enhancement magic that some knights and others can use is a system to draw out unused abilities.

Reinhardt, who had acquired knowledge of modern Earth, was using his wisdom to analyze magic on his own.

"The way of the demon tribe may be more like the strengthening of a golem."

Jin also supports Reinhardt's theory.

"...... now, it's more about the two of them."

Erza points out that we have to change course.

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm going to start talking about specifics tomorrow at ......."

"Well, since you're Jin, you must have some concrete ideas, right?"

Saki pointed out, to which Jin replied with a smile.

"Oh, it's not so much an idea as a plan, but I'm thinking that it would be a good idea to sell the food harvested in the village of Kaina to the demon tribe."

"I see."

Since there is no need to deliver the food to the kingdom, Jin will inevitably hoard it, but if he can sell what he doesn't need, he might as well sell it.

"If we don't have enough, we will consider Toka village. We don't know how much the demons need, so I can't say it's an idea yet."

"I see. Well, those two villages seem to be fine. But selling a large amount of food out of the blue is dangerous.

The food supply in this world is not as plentiful as it could be. Fortunately, the Kingdom of Klein is an agricultural country, so there is some surplus food, but it is not possible to sell off all of the surplus because of the need to stockpile food in case of famine or natural disasters.

"We have some stockpiles on Horai Island. But in the end, we want to be self-sufficient."

As for crops, he can think of topopo (potatoes), wheat, rye, buckwheat, cabbage, and green beans, but he has not found any crops after buckwheat yet.

"Then there's dairy."

He thinks he can get by with a golem-centered operation.

"Apurul should be able to grow even in relatively cold regions, Jin-kun."

Toa, who had been listening silently until now, offered such advice.

"Oh, yes. ...... and also fishing would be a good idea.

It's not whale fishing, but there might be some fish or magical beasts.


The old man also had a suggestion.

"With all these ideas, I think we can improve the food situation for the time being.

Jin felt relieved.

"Then, I am concerned about the population of the demon tribe.

Without knowing that, it would be impossible to calculate the total amount of food needed.

"Oh. I really need to ask him about that. ......"

Seeing the look on Jin's face, he said,

"But brother Jin, I don't think so, are you going to the land of the demon tribe?"

Erza, looking a little worried, asked Jin.

"Yes, I think I will eventually.

"I definitely disagree with that. Jin, you can't go."

Erza's face turned even paler at Jin's answer.

"Yeah, I'm against it too. Jin, you can't do that. It's too dangerous. No matter how much we can trust this Zion and Lucas, right? Even if ...... can be trusted, the rest of them are ........."

"You're right, Jin-sama. There must be some way to get out of here without going."

Bertsche joins Reinhardt in expressing his disapproval.

"Jin could do something, couldn't he? Even if I don't go.

Saki also expressed her desire not to send Jin to the land of the demons.

Jin nodded reluctantly when his trusted friends said so.

"......I understand. I wanted to go, but I'll refrain.

Everyone was relieved to hear Jin's words.

"......The demon tribe, right,......I've only known them in stories, but now they're suddenly close to me,......."

"Vee, that's what it means to be in a relationship with Jin-kun."

"No, Stear, it's not that I'm scared or anything. I'm just surprised."

Vivienne smiled at Stearina with a slightly confused look on her face.

Jin, Reinhardt and Erza, who were listening to this, smiled almost bitterly.

Anyway, a tentative conclusion was reached and the meeting was dismissed for the day.

I'm not going to go, but someone needs to go. So, let's upgrade the <>."

Reinhard and Bertsche returned to their home village of Kaltz, and Toa and Saki returned to their parents' home with Stellina and Vivian. Meine went to the village of Kaina.

Erza is about to start work on Horai Island with Jin.

"When I made the doll before, it had no sense of touch, so the feedback didn't work well and it was hard to handle, but how about this time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com



Since the doll is used as a deus ex machina, he has to make a new one. But with the help of the craftsman (Smith) and Elsa, the basic part was completed in about 30 minutes.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Just as when controlling Machina, I sat down on the special seat, and took the substitute doll's vision for myself through the magic screen.

The operation is based on the application of linkage. The puppet optimizes the actions that Jin has thought of, based on its own judgment. The puppet also speaks the same way, but it can also speak Jin's voice as it is if necessary.

"The movements are more natural after all.

The addition of tactile senses makes the movements more human-like.

"Brother Jin, it's amazing.

Erza was impressed.

"Now I wonder what Reiko will do when she goes with us ......."

"Father, I don't want to leave your side."

"I knew you would say that. Well, what should we do?

Jin thought again.
