Volume 9 - Chapter 50 – Each One, Afterwards (1/2)
09-50 Each One, Afterwards
The next day, the 24th.
After having his breakfast in a great hurry, Jin first warped to Kaina Village. To make a report.
He went to Martha’s house where he met with Hannah who had just woken up and gone to wash her face.
“Onii-chan!”
After seeing Jin, Hannah ran over and jumped at Jinn. Jin held Hannah up in his arms.
“Good morning, Hannah. I came back after I was done as promised.”
“Good morning, onii-chan! So, you’re not going anywhere anymore?”
Jin gently lowered Hannah to the ground and,
“Hmm, there’s still some things to put in order, so could you please wait one more day?”
“Ehh…”
While having the conversation, Martha, Elsa, and Mine who heard them came along.
“Welcome, Jin.”
“Martha-san, I’m back. Elsa, Mine, I’m back.”
“Welcome home.”
“Welcome home. I’m happy that you’re well.”
Jin gave a short explanation to everyone about how he had neutralized the Unifiers among other things.
“Next, I was thinking of having the Unifiers reorganize, or rather recompense for what they’ve done.”
He explained how the top seat and the second seat had been brainwashed. Elsa who had some knowledge about it could immediately understand, and Mine also quickly got it as she already had a vague idea about it.
Martha didn’t seem to really get it, not to mention Hannah.
“Well, at any rate I was thinking of using today to tidy up some things.”
Hannah could only reluctantly nod after Jin’s explanation.

“Now then, first comes your role, Elena.”
Jin called for Elena after coming back to Hourai Island.
“Yes, master. What would you like me to do?”
“Right, for the next while you’ll be advising the Unifiers on dismantling and rebuilding the organization…”
“Elena-san, I will also be assisting you as necessary, and so…”
And so Jin gave orders to Elena while Laojin supplemented them.
“In that case I’ll be going now, master.”
Elena got on Falcon-4 and returned to the Unifiers’ HQ via the submersible base in Lake Azul.
There were the (former) top seat Joule Rolan and the second seat Donald Carou Alpha.
Both had been cleared of the brainwashing, one by coming near death and the other by application of the [Shock] magic.
Also, the information about the former Princess of Destruction’s, Elena’s, [Subliminal] magic had been recovered from her memory. Of course how to dispel it too.
“Please work out…”
Jin wished for a success as he watched Falcon-4 disappear into the giant Warp Gate behind the research laboratory.
Jin’s plan was as follows.
Originally, the Unifiers’ foundational principle was to revive the pre-Great Magic War country Dinar Kingdom. The Golden Princess of Destruction replaced that with unifying the continent.
From there, using the top two who had returned to normal he’d have the brainwashing cleared from the executives down to the rank-and-file members, making the organization a harmless one.
In so doing, he planned to give them some technologies outside of the ones taught to them by the Princess of Destruction to work as an unifying force.
Specifically, he was thinking of the Mana Phone. It was an inferior version of the ManaCom, so to speak. Although it was wireless it could only make calls to a specific party.
It was also as big as a large desk, so carrying it wasn’t possible. Selecting who to call like with a ManaCom wasn’t possible. But as a hot line between the leaders of the nations it should be usable enough.
Apparently the top seat and the Princess of destruction had used an even more inferior version of this, or more precisely, a smaller model with a short range. That’s it wasn’t particularly bad to spread the technology.
This technology, along with holding the reborn Unifiers together, could also be used to apologize to the neighboring states.
By delivering the technology only when Joule and Donald were at a loss on what kind of amends to make would probably be a small atonement itself.
“Nevertheless, it’s so large…”
The prototype Mana Phone Laojin made really was as large as a desk.
“Long-distance communication is a quite the thing, huh.”
The reason for the size was that the device included a lot of parts. All of the parts were high-grade Magi Tools.
Once again Jin felt proud of the range the ManaCom he had made reached. Because the signal could reach all the way to the other side of the world.
“But looking at it that way, I probably should’ve used Ether and not Mana for my device…”
