âWelcome home. Iâm happy that youâre well.â
Jin gave a short explanation to everyone about how he had neutralized the Unifiers among other things.
âNext, I was thinking of having the Unifiers reorganize, or rather recompense for what theyâve done.â
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 didnât seem to really get it, not to mention Hannah.
âWell, at any rate I was thinking of using today to tidy up some things.â
Hannah could only reluctantly nod after Jinâs explanation.
âNow then, first comes your role, Elena.â
Jin called for Elena after coming back to Hourai Island.
âYes, master. What would you like me to do?â
âRight, for the next while youâll be advising the Unifiers on dismantling and rebuilding the organizationâŠâ
âElena-san, I will also be assisting you as necessary, and soâŠâ
And so Jin gave orders to Elena while Laojin supplemented them.
âIn that case Iâll be going now, master.â
Elena got on Falcon-4 and returned to the Unifiersâ HQ via the floatsink 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 Destructionâs, Elenaâs, [Subliminal] magic had been recovered from her memory. Of course how to dispel it too.
âPlease work outâŠâ
Jin wished for a success as he watched Falcon-4 disappear into the giant Warp Gate behind the research laboratory.
Jinâs plan was as follows.
Originally, the Unifiersâ 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 heâd 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 wasnât possible. Selecting who to call like with a ManaCom wasnât possible. But as a hot line between the leaders of the nations it should be usable enou
gh.
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. Thatâs it wasnât 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.
âNevertheless, itâs so largeâŠâ
The prototype Mana Phone Laojin made really was as large as a desk.
âLong-distance communication is a quite the thing, huh.â
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.
âBut looking at it that way, I probably shouldâve used Ether and not Mana for my deviceâŠâ
He hadnât realized it when applying the method that came from the analysis of the Artifact Magic Screen, but he had carelessly named the device a ManaCom. In truth, it shouldâve been called EtherCom. Although Jin was thinking that it sounds bad so heâd keep using the current name.
This is a digression, but the usage of kanji played a large part in the miniaturization. Even the power words of Magi Language had a result several times better when written with logograms instead of phonetically.
Back to the main subject.
Leaving the support of the Unifiers to Laojin, what was left was giving aid to the nations.
This wasnât something Jin was particularly worried about, but because there had been victims and damage because of his late intervention he wanted to give them some kind of aid.
âIt may be hypocritical but itâs better than not toâŠâ
And so, he decided to first give Egelia Kingdom âwhich was deemed to have suffered the mostâ ingots of the materials made out of the molten golems.
In total, there was about 200 tons of steel, 200 tons of bronze, and 50 tons of Light Silver. And little bit of Adamantite and Mithril. The market value was approximately 150 billion Torr.
Similarly he planned to donate half that amount to Cline Kingdomâs Tetrada.
In addition, he decided to return the seized pieces of Elradrite which had the countriesâ seals carved on them to the respective countries. 15 pieces to Egelia Kingdom and ten pieces to Cline Kingdom.
There were no seals of Celuroa, Frantz, or Elias Kingdom.
This was all from the molten golems so it didnât hurt Hourai Islandâs pocket. The only cost was time.
Jin had 41 pieces of Elradrite without any carved seals on them left at hand. That was plenty.
He planned to carry in the materials in the middle of the night using a number of Pelicans with the [Stealth] function added.
Jin couldnât restrain his laughter as he thought about the surprised faces of the material storehouse administrators come morning.
ââŠJust when can we leave.â
Reinhardt and Fritz who were returning to their home country induced to stay even longer because of the internal troubles of Celuroa Kingdom among other things.
âMy Lord, about the response of the nationsâ governing bodies regarding the Unifiersâ puppets we told them about.â
Jin was listening to Laojinâs reports. This was the newest information the Quinta sent this morning.
âCline Kingdom and Egelia Kingdom have, for now, dismissed the people thought to be puppeteered. Celuroa Kingdom seems to still be in a dispute over it.â
Since Celuroa Kingdom was the country where the Unifiers had taken root in the most, this was no wonder.
âThe dispatched armies have all withdrawn to their respective countries. The borders appear to have gone back to normal.â
Even so, the truth that they had invaded didnât just vanish. Jin left the apologies and reparations to be argued between the countries. What he was interested in were the common people.
âWhat does the damage on the commoners look like?â
âIt seems insignificant. As they had begun evacuation beforehand, no commoners died. There are 24 severely injured and 249 lightly injured people.â
âIâd like to stealthily administer restorative medicine to the severely wounded.â
âYes, that is possible. I shall issue instructions to the Quinta tonight.â
âMh-hm, please do.â
Now Jin too felt rather at ease.
âReally, Iâm also wondering how my acquaintances are doing.â
Jin muttered and Laojin immediately replied.
âYes, My Lord. This is as much as we know. Lithia Fahlheit from Cline Kingdom is staying in Tetrada. She is working hard with the relief knight troops.â
Lithia, really? Jin thought. She mustâve found what she wanted to do.
âWith regards to Beana-san and Earl Kuzuma, although the Earl had gone along with the dispatched troops, he seems to be heading back to Blue Land since the dispute came to an end.â
Theyâd probably have the wedding ceremony soon, Jin thought.
âElias Kingdom where Port Rock is seems to have been indifferent to the strife.â
Marcia was probably doing her best, huh, Jin thought as he reminisced about the days he spent in Port Rock.
âEgelia Kingdomâs capital Asunto appears to still be in a state of disarray, but they seem to have begun heading towards normalcy.â
Talking with Prince Ernest and Laila was really fun, Jin thought as he recalled the times and smiled.
âThat is all. Furthermore, Tellurs in Celuroa Kingdom seems to be under blockade; no one can come or go.â
Speaking of Tellurs, what was the healer Sally doing, Jin wondered.
âCome to think of it, I wonder if Schiedeâs family is still there.â
âAh, they seem to have returned to their home country before the conflict began. Capella-3 of the Quinta caught sight of them in Desir, you see.â
âThatâs good then.â
There still were a lot of things in his mind, but now that he had taken the measures he could take Jin relaxed.
Then Reiko brought him Citran juice.
âFather, please take a breather.â
âYeah, thanks.â
Now that peace seemed to have finally come, Jin thought about what to do after this while drinking the chilled juice.\n
