"Hmmm ......"
Milowina blurted out.

"I didn't know the ruins were this small."
Jin thought he could understand how she felt.
The gate, which looked like a torii gate, was less than two meters high, and the shrine was only 130 centimeters high, about the height of Reiko.

The stone statue of a stone guardian dog is barely one meter high.
This is too small to be considered as an image of the ruins.
But that's about it.

"...... what should we do with these ruins?
If Jin has received the magi crystals that were stored inside, they are no longer needed.
If we leave it as it is, it will eventually decay, fade away, or be destroyed by someone.

Either way, it will not be safe.
"Okay, let's move it."

"Let's rearrange it and put it in a corner of the garden on Horai Island."
The old man who was listening reacted immediately.

He said that he would send a unit of engineers...... that is, a unit of craftsmen (smiths).
"Okay. I'll take care of that."
Jin thought that it was too bad to let the ruins, which reminded him of Japan and had existed for more than 1000 years, decay like this.

With nothing else to see, the group decided to return to Horai Island.
There was no problem since they could come here in an instant using the transporter if they wanted to.
"......I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"
Jin asked with a question mark in his voice as Milowina apologized.
"I told you that they were ruins from a thousand years ago, but they didn't seem to be much after all. ......"

Milowina didn't seem too surprised. When I pointed this out to her,
"Well, sometimes things happen in reality that are even more extraordinary than in stories," she remarked.

"Besides, stories are not always as good as they seem.
Besides, stories are often based on what actually happened.

Citran juice for Jin. Persica juice for Milowina.
The snacks were Topopo chips and rice crackers.

Just what I was looking for, as I had a craving for something a little salty.
"Don't eat too much!"
Elsa nudged us as it was time for dinner back at Horai Island.

And as Erza had said, dinner was ready.
It was apparently prepared for Milowina, who must have been physically exhausted after the long journey.

The daikon radish leaves have remained bright green, a sign of Perid's painstaking efforts.

"Delicious."

The color of the leaves is a delight because the daikon is completely pesticide-free.
Just sprinkled with salt, it tastes good enough, but if you like, you can add some pickled plums, dried sardines, or tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce) to give it a different taste.

Milowina seems to be satisfied.
