Volume 1 - Chapter 26 – AFTER THAT (1/2)

Jin fled to the mountains, guided by Reiko, they headed towards the cave that hid the 《Warp Gate》.

「This is the place」

It was a good location with an overlook of the base of the mountain. Jin looked out over Kaina Village,

「Even though it was a comfortable place to live, it is regrettable」

After saying that, Gon and Gen were the first to be transported. They were somehow able to cram the Golem Horse 『Koma』 into the cave and it was also transported.

Remaining were Jin and Reiko.

「Now then, because they saw us run away this way, it would be bad if we don’t make this unusable」

「That is right」

「Chii, when would we be able to go to Kaina Village after that」

「I will help」

Reiko followed up.

「Un, right. Then, have it break 1 minute after we use it」

So the 《Warp Gate》 is not misused, they added those functions as default. After it was set, Jin,

「Then, let’s go」

「Yes」

And then the 2 figures disappeared.

「Damn it, so they escaped」

「Zee, zee, zee…」

A plenty 1 hour after Jin’s group disappeared, Earl Walter’s group finally reached the summit. Already without a trail, with the weather of snow fluttering down,

「Earl, there isn’t much to do here. We should withdraw before it gets dark」

so the adjutant advised,

「It can’t be helped, let’s go back」

Muttering his bitterness, Earl Walter and his troops descended the mountain, giving a glance to Kaina Village, and headed directly towards the capital.

「So this laboratory is on an island」

Jin returned to the laboratory, and was guided outside by Reiko. The climate was warmer than Kaina Village. It was not enough to call it a jungle, but there is decent rain.

「It would be self-sufficient if I cultivated it」

To cultivate the field was what Jin thought. But that is still far ahead. There was something more important.

「Look for something I can eat from things like trees」

「Understood, Goshujin-sama」

Reiko, and the 5 Golem Maids split up their work. For now he would secure some food.

About over 2 hours, 4 kinds of fruits and 2 kinds of nuts were found. Also, there also seemed to be what looked like a rubber tree.

After confirming it was not poisonous with 《Analyse》, he immediately tasted them.

「Un, this is sweet and delicious. This one is bittersweet. As for this, it’s sweet but a little dry. This is sour」

Each fruit had a taste close to peach, orange, apple, and lemon.
