On July 17, the day after the discovery of the hidden study of his predecessor.
Jin visited Tsetsi Island with Reiko.
"Welcome, Mr. 2nd."
"Welcome, Reiko."
After moving through the Warp Gate, Jin and Reiko are greeted by , a male automata, and , a female automata.
These automata were created by the previous Magecraft Meister, Adriana Barbora Zetsi, and have been reworked and further strengthened by the second generation, Nami.
"What can I do for you today?
, a female automata, inquired.
As Jin looked at her sophisticated appearance, he thought to himself, "I'm not sure if this is the kind of person Hannah will become when she grows up,
(I wonder if Hannah will look like this when she grows up.)
(I wonder if Hannah will look like this when she grows up).
She is, after all, the exact replica of her predecessor when she was a child.
"Yes, I came here today for a consultation.
Without letting such fantasies go unnoticed, Jin began to explain the purpose of his visit.
"Isn't this island a bit of a dump?" he asked.
"Yes, it's just moss, a little grass, and some woods.
As a preface, Jin checked the vegetation on the island.
I thought it would be. ...... So, I was wondering if you could help me out with some advice on how to make this island bloom."
Flowers......?
Yes, flowers. I'd like to give them to your father, Shuki Tsezi.
"That would be nice."
Then Jin asked a further question.
Then Jin asks a further question. I don't like the idea of making flowers that don't exist on this island, so I'd like to increase the number of flowers that already exist.
The idea is not to bring in non-native species.
"How about that?
But <> objected.
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, Master 2. ......When my predecessor buried Shuki about 1000 years ago, this island was a rocky mass with no grass or trees growing on it. There was barely any moss. There was barely any moss on the island.
And it took a thousand years for it to become what it is today?
That's right. We don't know if birds brought the seeds or if they flew in on the wind.
"We were not awake all the time."
added.
"I see. ......"
On islands formed by undersea volcanic eruptions, moss grows first, then a little soil, then grass, and so on.
Jin knows that the spores of moss come from the wind and the seeds of grass come from the wind and bird droppings.
"Then, what is vegetation?
"We think so."
Nagi and Nami answered together.
Jin remained silent for a while, thinking. When he had finished his thought, he looked up.
"Okay. Then let's start by improving the soil on this island.
Jin is not an expert in plant cultivation. At best, he had planted tulips, daffodils, and other bulbs in flower beds when he was at the facility.
However, as a general knowledge, he knows that the role of soil for growing plants is to <><>.
It is also important to keep the soil free from harmful substances.
The golem maids of Horai Island, <>, have been experimenting day and night, and <>, who have been dispatched to various places, have acquired knowledge wherever they go, which the old man has compiled and stored as his know-how.
This time, we are going to apply them.
"The soil on the island is mostly sandy and low in organic matter, so I will bring humus and compost from Horai Island and mix them together.
The humus and compost will also increase water retention.
"How about rainfall on this island?"
"Yes. We don't get much rain, but we do get a lot of fog in the evenings and mornings, which condenses into moisture, so I don't think it's a very dry environment.
"Oh, that's good news."
Jin was pleased to hear that there would be no shortage of water, since he had been thinking of using his magic tools to generate water if there was no rain and no water.
"Well, let's get started."
* * * * * *
That day, he spent the whole day moving soil, plowing, transplanting flowers from the island, and sowing seeds from the fruits of his labor.
In the center of the island, Jin transplanted a young query tree from the backwoods of Kaina Village, as he had requested.
In spring, the kuely tree blooms flowers similar to those of cherry trees.
In honor of Shuki Tsetsi, who was Japanese, Jin insisted on planting this tree.
This is the only tree that is not adapted to this island, so please be very careful. If necessary, contact the old man. I will send help.
"Yes, sir, the second generation."
"Yes, sir.
I have explained to Nagi and Nami the reason for planting the query tree, so they will take good care of it.
We will also sow some seeds.
The idea is that a tree grown from a seed will be better adapted to the environment of the island.
"Here we go. I hope we can put up a windbreak when it is windy."
"Oh, we already have that.
We also have a barrier against waves.
It seems that our predecessors had set up facilities to protect the island from strong winds and high waves.
Nagi and Nami are in charge of maintaining them.
"I understand. Then I feel relieved. If you run short of materials for maintenance, please contact the old man.
Yes, thank you.
I'll make sure no one comes near this island.
Jin thought that it would be possible if he applied the Magi Formula that was in the door of his predecessor's study.
Jin returned to Horai Island, and this time, he took Erza with him, and they were transferred to again by a transporter.
Jin, Reiko, and Erza together offered flowers and offered a silent prayer.
"I hope there will be more flowers here.
It may be difficult to do so because the wind is so strong and the cape is almost uninhabitable.
"We can find such flowers and plant them at ......."
"Yes, that's right. I'll give instructions to the fifth row (Quinta)."
This hope will be fulfilled in a few months.

Years, decades, centuries later.
There was a rumor whispered among the sailors who sailed the ships off the coast of the old Leonard's Kingdom.
It is said
.
However, no one visited the island, and everyone was puzzled as to why such a rumor was spread.
