Theon and Marikka were relieved to hear that Adriana had been accepted in the Kingdom of Galandora.
"I heard that the previous generation who settled down in the Kingdom of Galandora also gathered disciples and produced many talented engineers. For some reason, not much detail is written about what happened in between."
"Is that so?"
"Yes. It's just a very brief description of what happened.
Jin imagined that the absence of any particulars meant that the days were ordinary, or at best, peaceful.
"But then, the previous generation got involved in the turmoil once again.
"What? What do you mean?"
"It was the fifth year after my predecessor settled down in the kingdom of Garandola. ......"
* * * *
It began abruptly in 2381.
"Is it a church ......?"
"Yes, sir."
It all started when a church official came to Adriana's workshop.
We are here today to ask you to join us, Adriana.
"Oh, ......."
Two people arrived: an elderly priest and a young sister.
"God came down from heaven and made the earth. ......
"The angels watch over this earth ......"
"Blessing is magic. ......
The priests and sisters took turns delivering their impassioned speeches.
In short, magic is a grace from God. To be able to use magic is to be blessed. On the other hand, those who cannot use magic are proof that they have been abandoned by God.
Therefore, to help those who cannot use magic more than necessary is to go against God's will.
"I have heard that you are an excellent mage, Lady Adriana. I would like to ask you to join our church and use your skills for the benefit of the church.
I am sure that Adriana will soon become a high-ranking priestess.
"...... huh?"
Adriana sighs heavily and deliberately.
"Magic is just an ability. It's the same as being fast or having good eyesight. God? Maybe there is. Maybe there is no god. A higher being that we humans can't sense, that would be God. You who talk about God should be ashamed of yourselves.
She was able to say these words because she had been trained by Shuki Tsetsi.
Religion is something that should be the foundation of one's heart, not something that binds one.
But the priest's face turned pale when he heard this.
"You say the same thing as <>, don't you, ......!
"<>? ...... Oh, I'm sure your father would say so."
At these words the priest's face twisted even more.
"Oh, ...... you ...... are the daughter of a !"
"You can tell by my last name, Tsetsi, can't you?"
Adriana was a little taken aback, but she was actually missing the point.
After the visit of Shuki Tsetsi, there were many influential people and branch nobles who took the family name of Tsetsi because of their admiration for him.
"I didn't know you were related to Shuki Tsetsi. ......! You will not regret refusing our invitation. ......!"
With such a slap in the face, the two left.
"...... huh?"
Adriana sighs loudly again.
"Religion is ...... troublesome, ...... your father used to say that."
Adriana, who had heard stories about religious wars, disliked intrusive religion.
Around this time, Mariosa de Forres, who had been a good friend of Adriana's in the Kingdom of Galandora, suddenly lost her position.
She was accused of embezzling and embezzling the budget.
"That's absurd. ......"
Adriana was astonished. She knew that Mariosa was a man of integrity, as she herself claimed to be a granddaughter of her father Shuki.
"Could it be a conspiracy ......?"
But Adriana, a technician, had no way to prove his innocence.
After this, the kingdom of Galandra rapidly became more and more religious.
* * * * * * * * * *
"It's a religion ....... We believe in and fear , but it's not forced on us.
Jin corrects Zion's statement.
"Isn't that more of a faith than a religion for Zion and the others?
"Oh, maybe."
Zion affirmed Jin's explanation.
"But that's why I don't want such to be forced on us. ......"
"In the world I was in...... I mean, in the world where <> was, there was a past where religion and power were linked and it even led to war."
"......I really don't like that."
"I remember it was said that there is as much justice as there are people.
...... sounds like a nice thing to say, but I don't know, it sounds like an excuse to keep the fighting going.
Jin smiled at Zion's comment.
"Maybe that's how Zion and the others feel.
"So, what happened to Adriana-sama after that?"
Marikka pulled Jin and the others back from their side-tracks.
"Oh, I'm sorry. ...... Actually, it's just a brief description of what happens next."
Jin thought that since it was a diary, he did not want to write about things he did not want to write about in detail.

For the next two years, Adriana remained in the kingdom of Galandra, but the church's disapproval grew stronger, so she decided to go on another trip.
With 34 disciples who wanted to accompany her, and the new golems M-017 and F The 34 disciples who wished to accompany him, along with the new golem M-017 and F-017, left the capital city of Fouders at the beginning of October 2383. It was early October 2383.
The group continues westward.
After staying for about half a year in a town corresponding to Astan in today's Kingdom of Selroa, they moved further west.
It was the summer of 2384 when they crossed the southern edge of the Hariri Desert, crossing the land that is now the Shoro Kingdom.
By that time, the number of disciples accompanying them had decreased to 15, less than half of the original number.
Finally, the group entered Mitsuho, a land of a different tribe.
"Oh my God! <!"
The group was welcomed by people who still remembered Adriana's father, Shuki Tsezi.
"Oh, there were people who loved your father so much!"
Adriana's fragile heart seemed to be healed by the warmth of the people of Mitskho.
After settling down in Mitskho, Adriana traveled to Huso and devoted herself to the people of the region.
It was at this time that she expanded and renovated the semi-automatic factory that her father Shuki and his family had built in Miyako, the capital, over a period of three years.
He also maintained an automata called , which was made to serve as an instructor.
It was also at this time that Adriana replaced the warp gates that were used to get to and from Akitsu's base in the Great Sahara Desert with the latest models.
