04-07 Preparations for the Journey
When Jin finished breakfast the next day, he began the preparations for the trip.
「Umm, change of underwear, shirt, pants and a jacket」
Because he can clean my clothes with [clean up], he only takes two sets of clothes.
「…..um, is there anything else I need?」
It is the first time Jin is going to be travelling in this world, so he’s confused by it, and he can’t count on Reiko in this regard.
「For now, I’ll treat it like when I traveled on earth.」
Money, medical supplies, handkerchief, tissue, guide book and camera.
「There are no guide books or cameras, huh.」
While saying so, Jin decided to make a camera soon.
「And the handkerchief with the crest of Reinhardt’s house.」
It was what he was given to confirm his identity, he couldn’t forget it.
「After that, I’ll put it in this bag.」
After he made sure that nothing was missing, he finished his preparations.
「Father, what shall we do with the Warp Gate?」
Because of the Warp Gates, if they needed anything they could return to Hourai Island at any time.
「Well, umm, what would you do?」
Jin was unsure of whether or not to bring it because it was so bulky.
「Well, if I only bring the Magic Device, I can do something about the housing on the spot.」
As long as he has the Magic Device for the Metastasis, he can do something about the mount and housing afterwards as long as he has the materials available.
「That’s right, I think that’s good. Should we take two sets?」
「Yeah, even if something happened to one of them, as long as we have two sets we should be able to return.」
With that, the Magic Device that could be considered the heart of the Warp Gate was prepared.
He wrote the control system on a plate with a Magic Crystal of the darkness attribute.
Because it has to be synchronized to the magic wave pattern on the master side in Hourai, it’s a part that can only be made on Hourai island.
「Yosh, this should be good.」
Without the housing, there’s no issue of weight as the two units only weigh about two kilograms.
「Is there anything I’ve forgotten?」
Well, even if he forgot it, he could probably buy it and in the worst case, he could make it.
「Father, why don’t you bring a water bottle just in case?」
「A water bottle, sure. There are insulated properties, and there should be a magic formula to purify the water inside.」
He decided to make it right then. Making it out of light silver, he made the double sided structure and removed the air from inside. In short, he made a thermos bottle.
Furthermore, he made a magic circuit on part of the bottom to purify water so his stomach wouldn’t have trouble with unboiled water.
「And that’s done. I also made one for you, Reiko.」
「I don’t need to drink, but I’ll reserve it as a spare for father.」
She said as she received it.
「Then….」
「Since you were invited, father, how about something as thanks for Reinhardt?」
「A gift, huh…?」
After Jin thought for a while, he took a milky white Magic Crystal and…
「[Forming]… [Magic Formula], [Writing].」
A ring was created. It was an inferior version of the Guard Ring.
「Shall I call it a Protection Ring?」
Jin didn’t know whether protection or guard sounded stronger, but he named it this way because he named the first one guard.
「I’ll make a few and maybe I’ll give them out if there’s a good opportunity.」
「That’s right, although I have the Guard Ring, maybe I should have something like a sword?」
