 The elevator is already working normally, and the golems and live puppets (automata) are moving around as usual.

 This time, <> has been recognized not only by Marikka but also by Jin.

 So Jin and the others decided to have a little chat with <>.

 Such time is never wasted, as unexpectedly important information can be hidden in small talk.

"But <>, you are a very emotional magic brain, aren't you?


"......<>, you have been maintaining this city using golems and live puppets to protect the lives of ......<>. I think that I have been refined emotionally in the process. I believe that in the process, they have honed their emotions."

  Turles D. also said. This is also the opinion of Turles himself.

"I think it is possible.



 Jin D. agrees with Turles D.

 In other words, the acquisition of emotion by the magical brain is largely due to the accumulation of a large amount of data on precedents and repeated emulation.

 Emulation is especially important.

 As the emulation is repeated, spontaneous expression, rather than imitation, is observed.

 This is what Jin learned through knowledge, experience, and practice.

 He put golems and live puppets with a will into action in place of the missing inhabitants. After 2,500 years of such activities, it is not surprising that some feelings would develop and accumulate, even if only a little at a time.

 That is how advanced the <'s was.

"Is there any reason why ...... the other three cities were built almost the same as this one?"

<<
"I see."

 Jin agreed that it was necessary to make them as similar as possible, although they could not be exactly the same since it was a matter of human beings.

 It seems that it was not only a rational idea to build according to the city model.

"......The originals, including the other cities, were destroyed, but what about the follower tribes?"

 Maricka D. asked. She was still curious.



< were gone, we took up the information storage devices of their magical brains and the willful puppets (live puppets) for life support, and we gave them a choice as well.

"And you chose to stay?"

"I see. ......"

 The followers in two of the three destroyed underground ruins wished to stay there, so we provided them with some necessities of life and left them there.

 It seems that they chose to stay with the they served.

 And, in terms of the number of people, it was probably not enough to continue as a tribe. ......, Jin and those who were listening in Horai Island thought regretfully.

"You didn't follow up after that?"

"So that's what you mean after all. ......"



 I don't know what the birth rate (fertility rate, the number of children a woman can have in a lifetime) of the follower tribes was back then, but the birth rate of the former follower tribes in the current < is a little above 2, so if the original number of people was small, they would not have been able to sustain a settlement. It is assumed that it would have been difficult to sustain a settlement if the original number had been small.

 I thought it must have been disinfected recently because the smell of coal acid was still there, but it was still 10 years ago, which is relatively recent from the perspective of 4000 years. It was 10 years ago, which is relatively recent from the viewpoint of 4000 years.

"Were the followers of the tribe not very skilled?"

"Ah, that is one way of looking at it."



 Marikka D. and Jin D. thought that the follower race was doomed to perish when they chose to stay behind.

 But Turles D,



"...... from your explanation so far, it seems that you have been visiting other underground cities on a regular basis, how?

 He poses another question.

"Oh, yes. Jonathan, how are you doing?"

"Oh, that's it. ...... where is it located?"

"There is such a place?"

 So Jin-D and the others decided to have a look at it later.

"...... And one more thing about the follower race.


"How did the follower tribe begin? Were they abducted from the area?"

<> were those who helped the natives, and after they could afford to live, they recruited those who wished to join them and made them their followers.

 Jin and Marikka were a little relieved to hear in Horai Island that they were not brainwashing and using them after selecting those who could be of use to them after capturing them alive.

"Also, I have something else on my mind..."

"Yes, um, I was wondering how many of the there were, and what happened to each of them.

"Oh, that's what I'm wondering too. Jonathan, what do you think?"



 By asking Marikka D the same question immediately after Jin D and Turles D's question, Jonathan's response becomes very good.

 Marikka herself does not seem to be aware of this, which is natural.

"We know that there were 13 people in the three <>. So where are the other six? Here?"

 Hearing this story, Jin in Horai Island was thinking that the next target of investigation would be there.
