Jin was taken directly to the basement of the castle.
Pegin Borntov of the Committee of Ten was waiting for him in one of the rooms.
"Welcome. You, Jin, will now use the warp gate to go to the Principality of Jags. The officer in charge over there will explain the details to you.

I understand."
"......Hmmm, maybe I'm being strong, but you're calm, aren't you? Rest assured, this warp gate is stable. We have never had any accidents.
These words must have come from Jin, who knew that he had come to this continent by a transfer accident.

Jin did not reply.
"I'm going to have to repack, just to be sure.
The soldier next to Pegin-Borntov snatched Jin's luggage and dumped the contents on the table.

There was a change of underwear and a shirt. There were also three rocks.
Jin said that the stones were a souvenir of the Tajee village, and Peggin nodded in a bored manner.
"It's rare to find a man with so little luggage.

Pegin muttered in a slightly dismayed voice.
A physical check was then conducted.
The contents of the wallet were checked, but the gold coins were returned to their original state.

The protection ring on his finger is also left in place.
"Go on."
He pointed to the next room.

As Jin and Hope headed there, two soldiers with spears stood on either side of the warp gate, as if they were gatekeepers.
(It's a normal type.)
It looks less efficient than the type Jin used on Horai Island.

It seems to be less efficient than the one Jin used on Horai Island. Jin was relieved that there was no sign of instability.
"Well, I'm off."
Jin steps into the warp gate as casually as if he were going to the next room. Hope followed him.

The two disappeared in an instant.
"......He's gone. But he didn't show any reaction when he saw the Warp Gate. It's as if it's not unusual."

"Welcome to the Principality of Juggs. Follow me at ......."
With these words, the man turns himself around.
Jin leaves the warp gate room, accompanied by two soldiers. Hope is with him.

They lead Jin up the stairs to a simple drawing room.
"Have a seat."
The man sat down first and then sat Jin in front of him.

"Well, welcome again, Jin. I'm surprised that you share the same name as ...... the ancient
Oh, hi.
I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Rokou Bee Shiharou. I'm one of the technical managers and I'm in charge of you.

......
Jin bowed his head and Rokou nodded his head in an eagle's eye.
"Well, let me start by explaining the current situation.

Rokoh began.
"To the east of our principality of Jagus is the principality of Norway, and to the south is the principality of Dalat. There is also a country called the Principality of Mimaka in the southeast, but first we only need to worry about the Principality of Norja and the Principality of Dalat."

"......"
Jin said nothing, so Rokou continued on.
"As far as national power goes, the Duchy of Jagus is the strongest. However, it is not strong enough due to the fact that it is sandwiched between the Duchy of Norway and the Duchy of Dalat. Therefore, it is urgent to increase our national strength. Do you understand ......?"

Yes.
Yes. Our country needs a good Golem. I've heard that your Golem is very powerful despite its meager resources. I'm counting on you.
"I understand."

At this point, Jin asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Well, I have a question for you, too.
"What is it?"

"What are the means of transportation ...... that exist in the Principality of Jaguar?"
cars, hot-air balloons, airships, and mage ships.
There was one word that Jin was unfamiliar with.

What is a magic ship?
"It's a term for any ship that uses magic to navigate. Didn't you know that?
Yes, I didn't know it was called that.

I see. What else?

Rokko was a little surprised to hear those words.
"Yes, I know him. He is a guest of our country and instructor of engineering magic in general. Do you know him?"

"No, I was told that you are the master of one of my acquaintances.
I see. I'm sure we will meet soon in this line of work.

After that, Mr. Rokko showed me around the research building.
The basement and first floor were laboratories, and the second and third floors were residential facilities.
Jin was given a room with a bedroom, living room, toilet, bathroom, washroom, and kitchen. It is a kind of bachelor dormitory, and is quite comfortable.

No listening device was found.
A little better than the Principality of Mercana.
Meals are served in a cafeteria in a separate building.

It is cafeteria style, and you basically pay with the ticket you are given.
If you run out of tickets, you have to buy them with your own money. Jin received a ticket worth 5,000 tol (about 50,000 yen) for this month.

Most of the employees eat here because of the high cost of living outside.
Rokou, who showed Jin around, is also eating lunch with him.
"From 12:00 to 13:30 is my break time. After that, I will take you to work.

Incidentally, it is said that in this country they do not use the term "morning and afternoon" so much, but rather a 24-hour system.
The working hours are normal, but Jin thought that the working hours are too long.

However, it is much easier than the company he used to work for because he does not have to commute to work.
However, he heard that he only gets one day off a week.
(Well, considering that I had to work three months in a row, this is also easy for me.)

Jin, who is a workaholic by nature, had some doubts about this working environment, but he accepted it as normal.

Jin told Rokou that he wanted to relax alone in his room during his lunch break, and he lay down on his bed in the bedroom until 1:30 p.m. Hope was the guard at the door. Hope is standing guard at the door.
(We finally made it to this continent. (It's been a long time. ...... Rhodes is next, I guess...)

) She fell asleep with such thoughts in her head,
Jin-sama, it's almost 1:30 p.m." Hope's voice woke me up.
Jin was woken up by Hope's voice saying "Jin-sama, it's almost 1:30 p.m.".

"Oh, ...... I must have fallen asleep a bit. ......"
Jin rubbed his eyes and got up to wash his face in the bathroom.
Jin-kun, let's go.

Just then Rokou came in.
"Take the golem with you, please.
"Yes, sir."

Jin and Hope were led by Rokoh to the laboratory on the first floor.
