Jin has an early breakfast and gets into the "Rocket Mole". The pilot is Reiko.
After much consideration, Hope decides to have <> provide backup from high in the sky.
"Yes, Jin-sama."
With that, Jin had done all he could do.
"Okay, I'm off."
Jin waved his hand and closed the hatch of the rocket-powered vehicle.
A few seconds later, the rocket mole begins to move. Using the force field generator, it flies away.
At about the same time, Pegasus 2 is also launched.
"Have a good trip. ......"
Theon says in a small whisper.
Marikka, Rhodotos, Vita, Rorona, Istaris, and Belialus all looked at Jin silently.
"<
Zion muttered in a voice so small that no one could hear him.
Ahead of his eyes, there was a rocket mole that was getting smaller and smaller.
* * * *
All parts are all clear.
Reiko, who was piloting the Rocket Mole, reported.
"Okay. Keep it steady."
Yes, Father.
The inside of the rocket ship is so small that it is impossible to stand and walk.
Reiko sits in the front toward the direction of travel in the pilot's seat, and Jin sits in the passenger's seat behind her. This is enough to fill up the living space.
It can be said that it is because it is a magi-machine that such a large amount of living space could be taken up.
Does Pegasus 2 come with it?
Yes, it's all right.
"Okay, let's keep going until we reach the front of the illusionary boundary.
"Yes, sir."
In about 25 minutes, the rocket mole arrived at the sea near Horai Island.
Now, a false landscape created by the is unfolding in front of Jin's eyes.
And in addition to that, .......
"What the hell, that's ......."
A number of 30-meter-long ships surrounded the wards.
"Those are the ships of the League of Magic, aren't they?"
Is that it? ......
Jin saw that the outside was made of wood. The structural material may be metal.
It is powered by an aqua thruster.
It is equipped with an ether converter and a mana driver.
Is the crew ...... the Golem?
Yes. Yes. Basically, it's unmanned.
This means that they can operate continuously.
If they see even the slightest opening, they will launch a hijacking attack using a "Magi Emulator".
"What about Pegasus 2?"
Yes, it's standing by at 2,000 meters.
Good.
<
Neither Pegasus 2 nor Hope could be hijacked by the <> now, but just in case.
"No. It's too deep there. It's too deep there. Let's avoid the center.
I understand.
Reiko drove the rocket-powered vehicle along the slightly westerly slope into Tatsumi Bay.
"......This is the boundary of the boundary."
About 10 meters ahead of the flying subterranean vehicle (rocket mole), there is an invisible barrier.
"Okay, let's start digging from here."
"Yes!"
The time has come for the Rocket Mole to demonstrate its true potential.
The bedrock around Horaijima is hard but not brittle. It is convenient for digging a tunnel, but this time we will backfill the hole we have dug.
The debris crushed by the tip of the blade is sent to the rear end by the warp gate mounted on the machine, and is then sealed using <> and <>.
With this method, the speed is one meter per minute.
For about an hour and a half, the rocket mole dug its way to the bottom of the sea.
"It's all right now. We're out of the boundary."
Reiko declares, and the Rocket Mole points upward.
After another 10 minutes, the Rocket Mole emerged from the sea.
"Above here is an area filled with nitrogen.
While explaining this to Jin, Reiko continues to fly the Rocket Mole underwater.
Gradually, the seafloor rises. We are approaching land.
And then.
"We've passed through the nitrogen area. I don't know what kind of measures are being taken to protect us from this area.
The flying submarine rose to the surface of the sea. Jin then sees Horai Island.
"Ah ...... Horai Island. It hasn't changed much. ......
The appearance of Horai Island projected on the magic screen was almost the same as what Jin knew.
"Yes. Father. Except for the fields and orchards that have expanded, little has changed.
In Tatsumi Bay, they used to cultivate various fish using fishponds, but now it seems that the resident, Jin, has long since disappeared, and they do not cultivate fish anymore.
"I see.
I must see the old man as soon as possible. Jin realized it again.
Reiko's voice roused Jin from his reverie.
"Father, take that!"
"What?"
Right in front of Jin's eyes was his old laboratory.
But in the vestibule, there was a huge golem that he had never seen before.
"What the hell is that?"
"I'm sorry. I don't know.
If Reiko doesn't know, then it must be the latest Golem developed by the old man, or an enemy of .......
"Father, there is no free ether around here."
What?
Assuming that giant golem is the enemy, you must have taken steps to stop it.
Of course.
In addition, the institute is surrounded by a very strong magic neutralizing barrier. There is also a physical barrier (solid barrier) in the laboratory.
The situation was just as we had imagined. No, it's worse than that.
If we stop the warding, the golem will reboot and resume its attack.
"Hmmm, what to do ......"
The rocket mole is now powered by its built-in mana cylinder.
Thanks to the magic barrier that surrounds it, it has barely escaped the effects of the <.
"We can't even attack with magic at this point.
Jin was thinking desperately to find a way out of this situation.
