 On September 8, Jin was sitting on the porch of his < in Horai Island.

< in Naminthe has been completed.

 The old man reported to me.

"Oh, I see. Thank you."

 Now we can rest assured that the northern survey team of the Laurentian Continent will be here.

"Is Parma back?"


"That's good."

 Jin replied, and then became a little lost in thought.

"...... Jin, what are you thinking about?"

 Erza noticed Jin's state and came and sat down next to him.

"I was just thinking about how important it is for people to have feelings about relics,.......

"What do you mean?"

 Elsa tilted her head.

"Well, you didn't understand. I'll ...... see you then. ......."

 Jin also had some free time, so he half-seriously tried to think of an easy-to-understand analogy for Erza.

 And then..,

"For example. ...... here are two daggers with the same appearance."

"Hmm."

"One of them is a memento of your parents, and the other one has nothing to do with you. Now, if you were to give one of them to someone else, which would it be?

"The one that has nothing to do with me."

 Without a pause, Elsa answered.

"Why is that?"

"The memento is more important."

 Jin nodded.

"But that's not a difference that a third party can see, is it?"

"..................Yes, that's what I mean."

 At this point, Elsa seemed to understand what Jin was trying to say.

"I understand what you mean about the importance of attachment."

 Elsa gave Jin a small, repeated nod.

"The in now and the real that was moved to Horai Island. What is the difference between them?"

"That's what I mean."

 Of course, there are subtle differences between the restorations in <>, and they are not exactly, or even roughly, the same.

 However, Jin wanted Elsa to understand that he had been asking himself why he was seeking for <
>.

"What is important is the feeling, the heart. But that <> is always looking for <>."

"I guess so."

"...... difficult."

 Erza admitted that the human heart is a part of us that is difficult to control, as the earlier analogy of a memento illustrates.

 At this point, Jin also slightly changed the direction of the conversation.

"As far as I'm concerned, a person's have to mean something. Otherwise, it's a little sad ......."

"Sad ......, I know."

 Erza leaned back against Jin's shoulder.

"I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that," he said.

 Jin smiled at Elsa's slightly out-of-focus line.

"I think there was a theory that mental power, thoughts, souls, and ...... dimensions are different."

"Dimension?"

"Yes, a dimension. No, I think there was some kind of string theory or something that said the universe had 11 dimensions.

 This is a key word rather than ...... knowledge that Jin read in a science magazine or a science fiction magazine when he was in modern Japan.

"I have no idea."

"I don't either. I don't have a clue. ...... Maybe some spirit life form does, though."

But if they knew everything, the world wouldn't be interesting.

Ha-ha, you're right. I agree.

 Jin was happy.

 He was happy to have Erza, his companion, with whom he could have such a casual conversation and spend such a relaxing time together.

"I wonder what humans ...... or any other living creatures would look like if they were seen from such a higher dimension."

"Maybe they would think that they are imperfectly formed."

"Speaking of which, I've been trying to think of an explanation for the question of why engineering magic works on a cut off branch.

Let's hear it.

"Let me hear it." "Yeah. ...... So, it's called a <>, a higher dimensional <>. It's what separates the living from the inanimate, and it's protected by <> when it's a tree, but when it's cut down, it's out from under the protection of <>. How about that, so it can work magic?"

 Erza thinks for a moment,

"...... makes sense."

 He replied.

"That higher dimensional is a or a dimension higher than that, so the magic that is a free magic element phenomenon doesn't work.

"Hmm, that makes sense. What about healing magic?

"Healing magic contains sub-free element (ether), so it can work on living creatures. And spirit magic too."

"...... I see, that explains it in a way."

Right?"



 Jin wondered if the spirit life forms were thinking about this kind of thing ...... from morning to night, even though there seemed to be no concept of morning or night in that world.

 If so, I couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

 No, it could be that this is the reason why he thought that the material existence of Jin was rare and helped him out.

"If we assume that, what happens to the tree that takes root and grows from the cut branches?"

"Well, ...... hmmm."

 The cut branch does not have that works as the original organism, but when it grows, it becomes an organism that does not have engineering magic.

"I wonder if the organism has a like a of the ."

"The magic works on the seed, but when it grows up, it doesn't work anymore. ...... I see."

 Erza agreed with this hypothesis.

"......Jin's brother and these thought games,...... I guess you could call them. It's fun to ...... play with him."

"What a coincidence. Me too."

 Then.

"...... is this what you mean when you say we're like this?"

 came from behind me.

"Saki!"

Saki?

 I turned around to see Saki and Goose standing there, smiling.

"What's going on?

 Jin asked a little impatiently.

"No, I went to see the replica of the Tierra family site in Naminthe, and I thought I'd report back to you. ......"

"Kuhu, and then I was shown a friendly couple."

"......"

"So, how did it go?"

 Erza blushed and exclaimed, and Jin barely managed to utter the question with impatience.

"Well, it's hard to believe that it was made after the fact, no matter who sees it. You did a good job, Jin.

 Guth, who had also studied archaeology, gave his assurance, which made Jin feel relieved.

"I see. I'm glad to hear that.

"Yeah. ......I remember when I visited Newell with Jin, Saki and the others a long time ago.

 Goose smiled fondly.
