At Hourai Island

The following day, Jin took Reinhart, Berthie and Saki to Hourai island as planned. Needless to say, Elsa and Edgar also went along with Aal, Noir and Neon.

Hanna refused to come herself and stayed in Kaina village, because there were guests.

The reason why Jin directly took them to Hourai island before Kunlun island was none other than because he trusted Berthie and Saki.

Of course, he also had confidence that Hourai island won’t be shaken no matter what happens.

“This is the place I’ve inherited from my master. Hourai island.”

Jin said as soon as they reached the hall just in front of the warp gate.

[Welcome back, my lord. And to our guests, welcome to Hourai island.]

Laojun’s voice welcomed them.

“Jin, whose voice is that?”

Saki asked with a perplexed expression. Berthie also had the same expression as she restlessly looked around, searching for the source of the voice.

“It’s the magic brain unifying the whole of Hourai island, Laojun. A really high performance autonomous golem brain, so to speak.”

When he explained that far, it seemed Saki at least understood the concept of it but the same couldn’t be said for Berthie.

Reinhardt couldn’t just watch Berthie like that without doing anything so he was explaining it to her in a low voice. Thinking they shouldn’t just be standing in the warp gate room like this, Jin called out to the group and lead them outside.

“Welcome.”

They came out to the entrance hall.

There, in front of them, Laojun’s movement terminal Laozi, Soleil, Luna, 5 leaders of the 5 color golem maids, LSA (land, sea, and air) forces’ leaders, Smith 1 and Butler 1 had lined up to welcome them.

“Uwaa…”

Berthie and Saki were at a loss for words. And although Reinhardt had come to Hourai island before, it was his first time seeing this many golems gathered like this.

“You’re something else, Jin… This is way above a kingdom’s level at this point.”

Reinhardt had grasped that Jin’s latent military power easily surpasses that of a kingdom.

“I’m glad from my heart that you’re a friend, Jin.”

Afterwards, they had passed through the entrance hall into the front garden.

“Uwaah, so spacious. So this is Jin’s research area, huh… I’m so jealous, really.”

Saki said, walking up in front, looking around her.

“Jin-sama, what’s that?”

Belcha asked, pointing at Jin’s house. It was a single-storied Japanese-style house.

“Ah, that’s my house. When I am at Hourai island, I live there. It’s a Japanese style house.”

“It’s quite different, huh?”

“We shall be staying there for the night so I could give you a tour of the house later on.”

And hearing that, Berthie asked Jin to stop with the incomplete formal style of talking and to talk to her like he talks to Reinhardt.

Jin looked at Reinhardt, laughed and nodded.

“Got it, Berthie…… Is this alright?”

“Yes, that’s perfect. Treating me alone formally is a bit lonely.”

Jin answered with a smile.

“Well then, let’s get this started like a sightseeing tour.”

Jin asked Reiko to bring out the automobile from the garage.

It was the automobile he developed before going on the trip with Elsa and Reinhart, the one which runs on 4 golem engines.

“O-ohhh!! Jin, what’s this?!”

Equipped with rubber tires and aluminium body, a 6-seater vehicle. It has been upgraded quite a bit since production — now with golem arm suspension and a control core which makes it possible to autopilot.

“This is an automobile.”

Jin had thought of using the aircraft first but after thinking that that might just be a bit too high tech, he refrained himself, which is rare in itself.

Besides, it can be said that the surface is better to tour Hourai island at ease.

“Now then, please hop on.”

As it is a 6-seater, Aal, Edgar, Neon and Noir had to take another one. Jin had made 3 of these to move around the island.

He let Reiko drive that one. Neon seemed happy about it.

“Father, your lunch.”

Soleil and Luna kept loading the food into a large basket. Looks like it’s going to be a feast. They left Kaina village at around 8 in the morning and the time difference is 2 hours so it was about 10 AM at the moment.
