　On the morning of September 12.

　Jin was testing the .

　The test pilot was Reiko as usual.

　The Rocket Mole does not have a driving function. <


"Wow, it's flying!"

　Vita is excited to see it.

　I ask her how old she is, and she says 65, which is 13 years old in human terms. No wonder.

"But it doesn't look like it's going to fly, that's what's so strange about it.

　Zion uses <
, pronounced in the style of the Shoro Empire. Of course, <> means <>.

"It's a little late for that, isn't it? Isn't it the same with spaceships?"

"Well, yes, they are."

　The spaceship that Jin built is spherical. Aerodynamically, it doesn't look like it will fly.

　Still, this flying subterranean vehicle (rocket mole) is even more bizarre.

　It is a 1.5-meter-diameter, 4.5-meter-long cylinder that has been turned on its side. It is quite strange to see it flying in the sky.

　Because of its shape, it needs to be protected from the wind in order to reach supersonic speeds, but the practical test was a success.

"Now we can fly to the vicinity of Horai Island.

　Since the cockpit is small, it is honestly nice to not have to ride for more than an hour.

　While Jin was thinking about this, Reiko was working on the underwater test.

　This could not be seen from the land. However, through the communication function of the bracelet she had temporarily made, she knew that it had been a success.

　The last step was the drilling function, which was the original purpose.

　With Zion's permission, we decided to try it out in the clan territory.

"<>...... there is a small vein of gold and silver 35 meters below here."

"Oh, that's perfect. I'll take care of it, Jin.

"Okay. ...... Reiko, please."

　Reiko replies, and the rocket mole begins to dig downward at an angle. Its speed is about two meters per minute.

"Not bad."

　Because it dug at an angle, it took about 20 minutes for the Rocket Mole to reach the vein.

　This time, the rock has been sent out to a pair of warp gates on the surface.

"Is this it?　......<>. Oh, it has a high content."

　It was a very good vein, containing 0.5 percent gold, 2 percent silver, 7 percent copper, and 7 percent nickel. The disadvantage is that it is small in size, but even so, the gold reserves are large.

"Thank you, Jin. This will make our clan rich.

"I'm glad I could be of service, even if it was just by accident."

　And then the rocket mole returns to the surface.

"Thank you, Reiko."

　Jin quickly checks each part of the vehicle.

　There was no abnormality except for a few scratches on the outer cover.

　In case you are wondering, Jin fixed the scratches with engineering magic, and applied further over the scratches.

"Now we are ready.

　Jin said with satisfaction over a cup of tea in the afternoon of the same day.

"I think I'll go to Kunlun Island first, what do you think?"

"I don't think you should go to ....... Or rather, don't go there."

"What?"

　Zion looked complicated.

"It's a message from Jin 400 years ago. <
"...... I see."

　Jin guessed that there might be clues to the current generation of the Kunluns or to his own descendants.

　Knowing this would have a great impact on Jin's actions back in his own time, he guessed.

"I'm sorry, but I understand."

　Jin decided to listen to her.



"Then we should leave here tomorrow morning, right?

"Yes."

　This time, Zion did not object.

　Jin was then convinced that he had made the right choice.

(But it's hard to do. ......)

　Jin smiled and thought about the future.

（First, I will free the old man and Horai Island. The next thing will come after that.)

　For now, Jin decided to concentrate on the problem at hand, saying that the only thing to do now is to climb up the stairs step by step.

　That evening, there was a happy reunion.

"Jin-sama, it has been a long time.

"Jin-sama, it has been a long time."

　Sion's mother, Rorona, and Sion's husband, Belialus, the current clan leader of Morura, had returned.

　Lorona had gone to the Buamak River in the west to teach agriculture.

　Belialus had held various discussions in the Shoro Kingdom.

　He did not ask about the details of those discussions.

"Really. I didn't expect to see you like this."

　Jin was much happier to see them again.

　He added.

"Sorry for the delay. ...... Jin-sama, it's been a long time!"

　Istaris, Zion's sister, had also arrived.

"It really is Jin-sama, isn't it? You are ...... so young!

　Istaris looked as good as she had over the years.

　Even so, she still retains the face of her former self, and as Jin, he feels nostalgic.

　It was a heartwarming moment for Jin to see his old friends again.

"Finally, tomorrow. ......

　At night, Jin was alone in his bedroom, thinking.

"If we liberate Horai Island, ...... something will probably change."

　He thinks about the people waiting for him in the original time.

"Erza ......"

　Among them, I can see the face of his beloved wife Elsa.

"I hope the child was born right. ......"

　Zion assured me of that, but I was still worried.

　And whether or not I would be able to return home before the baby was born.

"I'd like to follow her if I could. ......"

　I worry that the birth will be a big deal for the slender Elsa.

"...... wait for me. ......"

　Jin thought back to that time, which was his future and the past of this world, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
