 However, Jin was planning to show up on the day of the meeting, and if that was not possible, a deus ex machina could be sent to the meeting.

"I think we've done everything we need to do.

"Yes, I think so."

 On Horai Island, Jin and Erza are taking a break and looking at Yu and Mio. The location is on the lawn in front of the institute.

 The twins are playing with a rubber ball that Jin made. They throw the ball to each other and receive it.

"Tow."

"Hey!"

 Since they were about 10 meters away from each other, the balls could not reach each other without bouncing, so they exchanged one-bounces and two-bounces.

 Jin and Elsa were watching with smiles on their faces.

"Education, or ......"

 Jin is also thinking about what the new emperor asked him to do the other day.

"Early childhood education?"

 Erza asked to confirm if she knew what Jin was thinking.

"Yes. In the world I was in, there was a where children between five and six years old attended to get accustomed to life in a group before entering elementary school.

 Elsa's knowledge of but not was new to her, so Jin's explanation was new to her.

"But is it difficult for the common people?"

"No, but it might be. I'm sure we can have ...... little ones who won't be in the work force. ...... what?"

 Jin was impressed by Elsa's insight.

"No," she said. I'm just impressed."

 Then.

"Are you in love with her again?"

"Oh, my God!"

"Wow!!!!!"

 Jin and Erza were taken aback when he suddenly called out to them from behind.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"...... Zion."

 There he was, Zion of Shinra, a member of the Jin Family.

"Oh, it's Shion oneechan!

"Oneesan!"

 The twins spotted Shion, stopped throwing the ball, and ran over to him.

"Hello, Yu-chan, Mio-chan!

"Hello."

"Hi."

 The twins have come here many times to play with Zion, so they are very attached to him.

 They ran to him and jumped on him.

"Wow, you two are getting heavy!"

 At this rate, in another year I won't be able to take it anymore, says Sion.

"Kids grow up so fast."

 Jin could no longer hold them in his arms for long periods of time.

"So, what's up with you today?"

  It was just time for lunch, so they all went into the <>.

 Zion said that a light meal would be fine, so we decided to eat together.

 Since that was the case, the menu was Japanese soba noodles.

 Jin and Erza prefer morisoba, but this time we decided to have oroshi-soba at Zion's request.

 The daikon of this world, which has not been improved, is short and small, but it tastes just like the modern Japanese "nezumi daikon" (mouse radish), so the island of Horai has been growing it.

 It has a spicy taste followed by a delicious daikon aroma.

 A little less buckwheat for Zion.

 And Yu and Mio had lunch with less grated daikon.

"I knew Jin's soba would be delicious!"

 Soba is also a food for the poor, so it is widely grown in the Nordic Federation, and buckwheat is also widespread. Despite this, Zion had never tasted soba as good as the one here.

"Five-color golem maids are excellent. ......"

 Yes, it is all thanks to the efforts of the five-colored golem maids created by Jin.

 It is the result of their continuous feedback to reproduce the tastes of Jin and his friends (mainly Jin), such as "It was a little too light today," "It was a little too salty today..." and so on.



 Let me digress.

 To Jin's question, , Zion replies.

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot."

 Sion scratches his head and continues.

"You know, a new ruin has been discovered in the Nordic Federation. That was ......3 days ago."

"Ruins!"

 In this world, when it comes to <>, there are eight or nine out of ten that were left behind by the <>.

 In particular, in the Nordic Federation, there are many ruins from the early days when the migrated to this region, including the <.

"So I thought you might be interested, so I came to talk to Jin."

"I see, that's good.

"Well, half of me wants to ask for Jin's help in the research.

 It was an honest Zion.



"...... spring has come and the snow has begun to melt, hasn't it? That's when we found cracks in the ground that had never been there before.

 Theon explained that he noticed it because melt water was flowing into the cracks.

"I see. It's possible for ice to widen the cracks."

 Jin imagined that the result was that the bedrock finally became unbearable and collapsed, revealing the ruins that had been inside.

"What are the ruins like at ......?"

"We have only been able to see the entrance area. We've only been able to see the entrance area, but we're being very careful because we've never seen anything like it before.

"That's wise."

 Jin was curious about Zion's brusque words and asked if there was something wrong.

"No, nothing happened. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"I don't know, it just feels different from the other ruins I've seen."

 I can't say exactly what it is," Zion concluded.

"Well, I'll have to take a look."

 Jin thought, "There is a possibility that these could be the remains of a previously unknown faction.

 At any rate, he contacted the members of the whom he could contact at the moment, and Hannah, Saki, and Guth replied that they could go there at once.

"They all seem to like this kind of thing."

 Jin decided to leave the next day.

 This time, Elsa would be away with the twins.

"Me, Hannah, Saki, and Goose. I'll go with Reiko.

"I don't think there's any danger, so that's fine. It's just that it'll be colder than here.

"Warm clothes are essential.

 Jin muttered to himself and started to prepare for the trip.
