Volume 2 - Chapter 22 – CHAT 2: SECRET VISIT TO KAINA VILLAGE (1/2)

「Hourai Island has grown quite a bit」

Returning to the base, Jin spent a few days leisurely.

「Father, please give a role to Gon and Gen」

One day Reiko said that to Jin who,

「I guess I should… I wonder how everyone in Kaina Village are doing」

There was the king’s decree, but Jin didn’t know about him being declared innocent.

「Come to think of it, there was a 《Warp Gate》 in the basement of the workshop」

Though it was buried in soil.

「Can I not use it?」

He wouldn’t want to be buried in soil and unable to move if he went.

「Well, in that case, I think we can remotely operate the 《Warp Gate》 and send the soil around it here」

「Oh, so there was that kind of trick」

In the laboratory are all of the master side of the 《Warp Gates》, after operating the corresponding 《Warp Gate》 here, various things are possible.

「First, release the selection function」

Only Jin’s magic power and those who have magic power with the same waveform can use it, that is the function that is being temporarily released.

「Then reverse the transfer… ooo!?」

A lump of soil that suddenly appeared surprised Jin.

「It seems it’ll go smoothly」

While ordering her subordinate Soleil to remove the soil, Reiko laughed.

「Then, I’ll go first and secretly see how things are」

The soil around the 《Warp Gate》 was gone, but the basement was probably still buried in soil so Reiko intended to go remove it.

「Ah, about that Reiko」

「Yes?」

「Actually, in the outskirts of the village, there’s a shelter I made. It’s about 80% complete. Since I made a simple barrier at the entrance, you should understand what to do」

「Understood」

「Also, once you’re there you should setup a 《Warp Gate》 in that place」

「That’s true, if that’s the case, I’ll disassemble the 《Warp Gate》 in the basement and reassemble it there」

「You’ll do it for me?」

「Yes, please leave it to me」

So Reiko was left with that work.

And in the middle of the night, Reiko began her work.

First teleporting.

「As I thought, it’s buried in soil」

There was lots of soil surrounding the 《Warp Gate》.

「There’s no presence of anyone around」

Confirming with magic detection and life detection, she began to work. Moving the soil and also digging a hole out. This was where Jin had worked together with Reiko so she knew whereabouts the exit was.

And so after a month, Reiko appeared again at the workshop Jin had used. It was pitch black, but it wasn’t a problem for the current Reiko.

「Father’s workplace」

After giving a nostalgic look, Reiko began disassembling the 《Warp Gate》. Used to it, she was done in 10 minutes. Carrying out all the materials, she completely filled up the hole in 5 minutes.

「Where’s the shelter?」

She tried spreading her magic detection to the outskirts of the village.

「I can feel a distortion, it is probably there」

Guessing where it was, Reiko carried the materials of the 《Warp Gate》 and walked in the darkness.

She soon found the location of the shelter. Releasing the barrier, she went inside.

「It sure is spacious, the floor and wall are all hardened, as expected of Father」

She quickly began assembling and setting up the 《Warp Gate》.

「Now then, a test operation」
