There were no houses in the area and grasslands as far as the eye could see.
It is autumn now, so the grass is the color of dead grass, but one can imagine the colorful flowers that will bloom in the spring.

She stopped Jin.

"Got it."
The sequence was the same as the old one that Jin knew. However, there seemed to be more than a dozen warp gates connected to destinations unknown to Jin now.

Jin gave Nagi and Nami a brief account of himself.
"I see, so you are now a duplicate of the second generation," said Nami.
But they are exactly the same. But you are exactly the same, then nothing has changed for us.

Jin was relieved that Nagi and Nami recognized him.
"That's why I came to pay my respects once again.
Jin was thinking like a Japanese in this regard.

Jin then went to Shuki Tsetsi's gravesite and laid his hands on his hands. Reiko followed his example. Nagi and Nami prayed silently.

"There are a lot more flowers now, aren't there?"
Yes, since the second generation of the islanders decided to make this island bloom 400 years ago, we have been sowing flower seeds and planting flowers and trees.
They're still growing, aren't they?

"Yes, the query tree that the second generation loved so much has grown to such a size."
There were several huge trees standing on the gently rolling hills. 400 years had made the young trees grow into giant trees.
"I heard that queries can last for about 1,000 years, so I think they are still in good shape."

Jin then took Nagi and Nami to do some maintenance.

However, an ordinary golem or automata could not keep moving for 400 years. It is only because Jin has modified them.
