07-06 Side Story 5: Kaina Village, It’s Been a While
Just now, Jin had come to Kaina Village .
That was because he vaguely reminisced, and vaguely felt the want to try going .
He took the carriage’s Warp Gate first to Hourai Island, and from there to the Warp Gate in the shelter that had been established non the outskirts of Kaina Village .
In Kaina Village too it was night .
The weather had been clear in Delead, but here it was slightly cloudy . A vaguely lukewarm air, typical of a spring night .
“Everyone’s already asleep, huh…”
With no entertainments or pleasures, the night in farmwork-centric Kaina Village was shot . When the sun went down almost all of the families went to sleep .
With the moonlight coming from a rift between the clouds he could somehow see the road . By himself, Jin walked down the nostalgic road .
“Marthsan, Hannah…I wonder if they’re doing okay . ”
Quietly, Jin peeked into Martha’s house over the fence . Jin could see Hannah’s room through the isinglass window he had installed .
He wanted to take a look, but after rethinking it doing such a degenerate’s action would be bad, so after walking around the house he really had lingering attachments towards he moved on .
He went to the location of the pump . To the place where the first useful tool Jin had built using Craft Magic was installed .
“It still works perfectly, huh . ”
Jin softly moved the pump’s handle . With its durability raised with [Hardening] the pump had barely worn down at all . Jin let go of the handle satisfied .
Next he headed towards the hot spring .
The hot bath made the sound of a free-flowing hot spring even in the middle of the night .
While it had been just a cabin with a tidy shingle roof, the whole building had been reconstructed to be sturdy . That must’ve been because of how much the villagers appreciated the facility .
Peering inside, Jin found that on the hole he had dug some hot-spring mineral deposits had accumulated and so he removed them with Craft Magic .
In the sedimentation tank that settled the fresh water and dirtied bath water, mud had piled up so using [Decomposition] and [Cleanup] he made it stay clean .
Jin kept walking around the village . He set out to the public square, where in spite of the gloomy moonlight light pink flowers were in full bloom .
“Kherry blooms, huh . They really are exactly like cherries . ”
While he had been in Japan, they had been the flowers he loved the most . Jin stayed like that for a while, gazing up at the Kherries in full bloom .
“Master . ”
Jin was brought back to reality by a voice calling out his name . Turning around, in front of Jin was,
“Gen . ”
The golem Gen . It looked like he was on midnight patrol .
“How may I help you tonight?”
“Mm, I just wanted to watch the Kherries bloom . ”
Even though the other party wasnt’t someone he particulary had to hide things from, Jin felt vaguely embarassed and answered like that .
Then he suddenly realized something .
“Gen, how is Gon doing?”
“Yes, he is similarly going around defending the village . ”
When Jin heard that he said,
“Alright, in that case let’s do it in turns . First, Gen, follow me . ”

“Yes . ”
The thing Jin had realized was that Gen and Gon hadn’t yet received the countermeasures for [Subordination Rewriting Magic] . The same went for the horse golems .
Jin then left Kaina Village posthaste to make sure that the golems there would have countermeasures installed .
“Laozi, you’ve gathered the components necessary for [Subordination Rewriting Magic] countermeasure together, right?”
“Yes, My Lord . The countermeasures of all the golems in Hourai Island have been taken care of, and 100 sets of spare parts have been prepared . ”
“Alright, I’ll immediately add the countermeasures to this here ‘Gon’ . After that, ‘Gen’, then the five horse golems . ”
“Understood . ”
Jin then installed the Subordination Rewriting Magic countermeasures to Gen with the support of Laozi . At the same time he tuned and optimized the Magi Device, and performed full-body maintenance .
Because of that Gen’s output increased by around eight percent . Comprehensively looking at his current state, he could put out about 30 precent of Reiko’s power .
Furthermore, he added the [Stealth] function, as an improvement to make him able to secretly protect the village .
“Alright Gen, go back to the village and tell Gon to come over here . ”
“Yes, master . ”
He then gave Gon the same treatement . And then to the horse golems Ein, Zwei, Drei, Quatre, and Cinq too; Jin breathed a sigh of relief .
“In the unlikely event that Kaina Village got attacked it could’ve been disastrous, so . ”
By the way, he didn’t add the [Stealth] function to the horses .
Once all the improvements were completed, Jin once more warped to Kaina Village .

Near the shelter on the village outskirts where the Warp Gate was flowed the Elume river .
This time Jin tried going to Elume river .
On the dry riverbed, finally spring’s weeds had begun sprouting . While treading on the riverbed’s sand Jin broke into a nostalgic smile . .
“Oh yeah, we played some underwater tag in those depths . If I’m not mistaken, it was around that time I found a Magi Stone mixed in the sand . ”
Using that Jin had built a stove, and sold it to the merchant Roland .
“It somehow feels like the distant past, but is it only like three months that have passed since then?”
Jin felt that a lot had happened, and Jin reminisced about the things he’d done after he had left Kaina Village .
“I encountered Beana in Blue Land, we made popcorn, built the refrigerator, met with Earl Kuzuma, and Reiko got into a scuffle . ”
He remembered the fond memories .
“In Port Rock I made a golem boat, quarreled with a Death Serpent, and began the trip with Reinhardt and the others . ”
It was like yesterday, and it was also like in the remote past .
“I built a kite, we caught some thieves, developed Kunlun Island, built Lotte, oh yes, there was also that golem riot . ”
Jin’s mental state turned into wanting to mutter a line out of an anime show like ‘Everything about it…is precious’ .
Meanwhile, the eastern skies were turning slightly brighter .
Kaina Village was much more to the east than the town of Delead where Jin’s group was currently spending the night, so the sun rose earlier .
“Any time now the early families will get out of bed, huh . ”
Jin muttered and began walking towards the shelter where the Warp Gate was .

“I’ll be back . ”
Jin shouted out to no one in particular and entered the shelter, and warped to Hourai Island with the Warp Gate installed inside .
In Delead, it was still night .
Jin who returned via Hourai Island quietly returned to his room in the inn and slipped into his bed .
Then he would have a short sleep until morning .
Jin didn’t know that his faithful unparalleled Automata Reiko had followed after him all this time .
“Father…Is satisfied now, right?”
Reiko muttered while looking at sleeping Jin’s content face .
Morning was still hours away, and stars were twinkling over the town of Delead .
