 In addition, Jin has prepared < and .

 The two <> have been adjusted so that they can talk with the two Marikka golems using a manacam (magical element communication device).

 In order to avoid the suspicions of the controlling magical brain of the <>, they first transferred to the <> and then moved on.

There's nothing around here.



 The former Leonard Kingdom is dotted with mines, and although many countries are redeveloping their mines, the central and northern areas are still undeveloped.

 Even in the area around the <>, there is nothing but rock and dirt, bushes and grass.



"Maybe if we planted windbreaks along the coast, we could make the inland areas more green..."

"Windbreak? ...... Oh, artificial forests planted on the coast to protect against sea breezes."



 Zion reacted. After all, her mother, Lorona of the Shinra, is the foremost agricultural expert of the northern peoples.

"Yes. Of course that's not enough. We need to remove salt from the soil."

"Jin, I'm all for future development, but it's time the four of us got where we're going."

 There, he could see a doorway at the point where the big rock was displaced and two golems coming out of the doorway to greet the four from the <>.



"Hmm, I wonder if it was the fashion of the <> or the <> to hide the entrance and exit with large rocks."

"I wouldn't say it was a fad, but there seems to be a tendency to favor such a design."



 Saki and Goose were having such a conversation.

 Jin also stares at the screen. < is clear.

 The and dispatched this time are the golems of Marikka<> and <> are in the back as assistants of Marikka's golem <<>> and <>>.

 He had a friend who had studied civil engineering and architecture at a technical high school, so he had some knowledge of rocks and minerals, especially stone.

 Quartz is a non-crystalline crystal (or more precisely, it does not have hexagonal prismatic self-shaped crystals). It is often somewhat dull white, but sometimes pink, and is called <>.

 The voice of the head of the control center echoed.

I'm sorry for the other day. We have been out of service for so long that we didn't realize until late that our communication equipment was malfunctioning.

"No, that has already been done."



 The golem of Malikka, <>, replied.

 His tone of voice was polite. I don't think the magic brain would care about honorifics, but just in case. <
