Early in the morning of the day after Erza moved to the village of Kaina, the seventh spatial oscillation occurred.
This time, it lasted for an unprecedentedly long time, 27 thousandths of a second.
This time, it occurred at the old relay station at the L4 Lagrangian point.
The problem is that a part of the relay station has disappeared.
Is that true, old man?
"What was it that disappeared?"
I got a surprising answer.
"Waste?"
I am afraid that the waste has been hidden from the public, but I can't help but laugh at it.
"Inside the base, is that right?"
"So, what kind of damage was caused by the gravity fluctuation?
Jin thinks that the objects that were hidden will disappear, and the effects of the gravity fluctuation will remain around them.
"None?"
Jin thinks about how this should be considered. It is only a hypothesis,
"If the time of occurrence is long, the gravity fluctuation is small?
> occurs, the gravity fluctuation does not occur.
Certainly, we do not hear of any destruction of objects in <<> that Jin knows of. ...... if we assume that the that occurred in Japan in the past was a similar phenomenon.
"Yes, it does. And maybe it is more likely to happen when the time of occurrence is long."
Or maybe there are holes in a wide area, Jin thought.
"So, we have gathered more data than we did at first, but there are still many things we don't know."
<<> in the area where the <> is likely to happen?
If we can locate the position, it would mean that we can transfer to another space.
"Sounds interesting. But it would take quite a few of them, right?"
<>
If they are caught in the middle of the "godforsakenness" during that time, the old man said, we can verify whether or not they will serve as <>.
"I see, then a piece of magecrystal ...... or even sand would be sufficient."
At the same time, we can write down the Magick Formula so that it functions as a .
Since it is a Magi Crystal with a diameter of 1mm, Jin decides that a Mini Craftsman (Smith)...... or even an Inch Craftsman (Smith) can do the job well enough.
Inchmakers (Smiths) are 25 millimeters tall. For them, one millimeter in diameter is equivalent to 64 millimeters for a human being, so it is just as easy to work with.
"We could scatter them between the relay station and Ars."
Jin then immediately gave the order and began to produce the marker particles.
"Well, now that I've given the instructions, I'm sure that 1,000 inch craftsmen (smiths) will be able to produce them in an hour. I'd say 10,000 grains to start with."
Jin's estimate of one hour, including the work of processing the highly pure magecrystal into spheres of one millimeter in diameter, comes true.
One hour later, he received a report that <<10,000 marker particles>> had been completed.
"All right, transfer them to a designated area in space and scatter them.
<
The process of transferring the 10,000 grains to the space areas that had been shifted little by little was extremely tedious and patient, but the magic brain of Horai Island, the old man, did it without a hitch, and completed it in three hours.
It means that each grain was transferred in a little over one second.
Incidentally, these grains disintegrated while emitting free-magic wave <>, and were adjusted to return to free-magic elements (ether) and atoms after a week.
This prevents it from becoming space debris.

At the same time, Jin is discussing with the old man to take further measures.
Hey, Mr. President, is it selfish of me to keep Milowina here until this phenomenon is over?
"I hope so. ...... The problem is that we don't know who is more dangerous, the moon (Yunie) or Ars."
< happens, and if we know it, then we can make a decision.
Jin nods regretfully.
"That's right. We don't have enough data yet.
There is the idea of spreading the risk, but Jin also wants to be in a place where he can be seen. It may be because Jin hates loneliness.
<>
The old man gave him some advice. The old man advised Jin to tell the truth about what he thought and let him decide whether he would stay in Yuny or come here.
It seemed like a good idea, especially for a small child. Jin immediately contacted Milowina.
>
"Yes, actually ......"
Jin explained what he thought.
<
"Will you do that for me?"
Jin was relieved, though he had a vague idea that Milowina was concerned about him.
Jin-kun, here she is. I'll be staying with you for a while.
I'm sorry if I asked too much of you.
I'm sorry if I'm asking too much of you, but don't worry about it. I know you were thinking of me.
I'm relieved to hear that.
Milowina, who was accustomed to a quiet life on her own, settled into the guest room of the institute.
"I like the view from the window.
She laughs, saying that she can only see the stars on the moon.

"Father, I have an interim report."
"Yeah, how did it go, Reiko?"
Reiko has been investigating the and the beyond space when she summoned Jin.
It seems that Reiko (or more precisely, her predecessor) developed them after the death of her predecessor, but they have since been lost due to overuse, and have become <>.
However, I think that it is possible to develop it again if it was developed once, so I instruct Reiko to do so.
"I am sorry. So far, we have had no success.
Jin patted Reiko's head as she sagged.
Don't worry, I don't expect to know in a day or so.
"Thank you for ......."
"I wonder if Adriana Tierra, rather than her predecessor ......, left something behind."
Your grandmother, sir?
We know that Adriana Tierra was working on a project to return Shuki Tsezi to his original world.
We could use the results of her research ...... as a reference, even if they were incomplete. Jin suddenly thought so.
"But it is not here, is it?"
"That's right."
The most likely place is Adriana Tierra's laboratory, but I don't think Reiko's predecessor visited there.
