Chapter 442: Eccentric (2/2)

…Jin seemed to have finally come up with something.

“Two Titans should deploy a hemispherical barrier toward the same target. When the two hemispheres are combined, they become a sphere. You can trap your opponent in that spherical barrier. And if you were to send a Mana Bomb with a transfer machine in there…!”

At first glance it seems like he was talking to Elsa, but he wasn’t. The very things he was saying were proof of that.

However, Elsa, who was listening by her side, understood the principle and was impressed with Jin. And Laojun, who had been listening through the Mana Comm immediately started working on a detailed analysis of Jin’s theory.

At that moment, another emergency call arrived.

“Master, the tunnel is caving in.”

“What? Stop the investigation! Everyone come back to the surface, now!”

Was its foundation that brittle, or was it a result of the Giant Peeders coming out of it? Jin hurriedly commanded the Lands that were scouting underground to return to safety.

Faithful to Jin’s orders, the Lands head for the surface without looking back. At that time, they noticed something that seemed to be an unfamiliar magic tool, but they didn’t confirm it because they prioritized Jin’s instructions.

If they had stayed long enough to confirm it, they might have found a new fact, but half of the Lands could have been buried under the rubble as a result.

Was it a good thing or a bad thing that they couldn’t check that magic tool underground? No one would really know that, but if they had retrieved that magic tool, would a different fate await them in the future?

A few seconds after the Lands returned to the surface, the tunnel collapsed and the Inad Mine became inaccessible.

“Okay, everyone seems fine.”

Jin relaxed his shoulders once again. Now it should really be over.

The area around the Inad Mine was in bad shape. All over the place, trees were broken, large and small rocks were scattered, and everything had been riddled with holes.

To make things worse, there were also places filled with white smoke due to the influence of the Giant Peeders’ body fluids.

“…This is going to be a pain to clean up.”

Well, let’s get it done by the Kingdom of Klein, thought Jin as he made Pegasus 1 move in order to get confirmation.

“Ah… Is this some kind of material?”

The sections cut by Reiko’s sword of light were burned by its tremendous heat, and no body fluids were released from them.

Jin told Laojun to collect those. At the same time, he had him retrieve the destroyed general-purpose golems as well.

“I have dispatched Condor 3 to retrieve those.”

As stated, he would use Condor 3 to collect the materials and retrieve the destroyed golems.

“Phew, come on, Jin, What on earth are you exactly? …Just how many planes do you have?”

Saki sighed as she said that.

“Well, I’ll take it easy from now on.”

“Please do. I’d like to be able to keep getting along with you from now on. So go easy on me!”

Saki had a tired smile on her face.

“Sis Saki, you have to think about it well before getting along with Jin.”

“Eh!?”

“Do you mean that as ‘don’t get along’?”

It sounded terribly bad depending on how you understood it.

“I mean, that’s the only thing I understand from what you said…”

Jin made a sad face on purpose.

“But Elsa doesn’t seem to be that kind of person…”

“Ah, no, that’s… That’s not it, umm…”

Elsa panicked as she saw Jin cast his eyes downward.

“That’s not it. Look, I’m not saying Brother Jin is not a nice guy, he’s just a little eccentric, that’s all.”

“…Elsa, that still sounds terrible in my ears.”

“Uh, ah, ah…”

Elsa went from completely blushed to completely pale.

“T-That…”

Tear’s started to form in her face. Now it was Saki and Jin’s turn to panic.

“I-I get it, Elsa.”

“Sorry, sorry. I do understand what you’re trying to say.”

“…”

“I think your reaction just now was really cute, Elsa.”

Saki stroked Elsa’s head as she said that.

“…Whatever.”

Elsa looked away and pouted.

“Uhuhu, it’s the first time I see you make a face like that. You really are so cute, Elsa.”

“…Sis Saki, you dummy.”

Once again, there was peace inside Pegasus 1.
