Jin was relieved to hear that his descendants did not think badly of him, but at the same time he began to wonder what kind of life he was leading.
>
What?
"Is that so?"
"I didn't know that. ......"
Jin felt his strength leave him.
<
"No, it's okay. I didn't dare ask."
Jin smiled a little weakly.
"Then you live at ......."
"I see. ......"
It sounds pretty easy-going when you think about it. Somehow, Jin thought of the word .
When he told this to the old man, he said
.
He answered, "Yes, I think that image is pretty close.
"Then, how do you earn your money?"
>
"Oh, I see."
I guess they make money by selling what they make.
Jin's descendants seem to be living reasonably well.
"So, how many people live on Onogoro Island now?"
"So there are that many ......?"
"I see."
If you double the number of people in one generation, even if there were two people in the original family, it would be 2 x 2 to the 20th power. If the number of people doubles in one generation, it would be 2 x 2 to the 20th power, Jin thought in his head.
"......, that's absurd."
Jin shuts himself up.
That would be true. 10 to the power of 2 would be 1024.2 Ten to the power of two is 1,024.2, and zero to the power of one is 1,048,576.
"There's no way it's over a million people. ......"
Jin laughed bitterly.
"Well, it doesn't always work out as I calculated.
It is possible that some of them never had children, and some of them never married.
Some may not have married, and some may have had one or three children.
>
No, thank you.
No," he says, a little curious, because the names of the descendants he has never seen before do not seem to ring a bell.
"Better yet, I'll come see you in person one of these days."
Finally, the old man said, as if to assure himself.
"...... I can understand that."
Because over the generations, Jin's blood has thinned out and now he is not much different from the average person.
Half with the children. Great-grandchildren would be one-eighth.
If you are a great-grandchild like Rhodes, you are down to one sixteenth. If you are one in tens of thousands, you are already .......
And now that we have Jin himself, it is inevitable that his priority will be reduced.
"And the Magecraft Meister didn't show up either."
"You're a court-appointed healer (Reichsartz)_...... Erza's bloodline, aren't you?"
Jin remembered fondly the face of his once loving wife.
"I see. I'd like to ...... meet them sometime soon."
And with that, we called it a night.
"Now all we need is a plan to move to Hale, and maybe our descendants will want to live there too.
"Yes.
Jin thought, "It seems that many young people yearn for a new environment.
"Let's go and see what the 700672 is planning.
The time is 5:00 PM. But the time difference from the base of 700672 is about two and a half hours, so it's about 2:30 p.m. It was about 2:30 p.m. over there. Jin decided that there would be no problem.
The time difference is about two and a half hours, so it's about 2:30 p.m. over there.
Jin moved to the other side, carrying a souvenir of Persica juice and Reiko as his companion.
"Oh Jin-dono, you have come well. You are here about the ...... emigration plan, right?"
"Yes. I'm sorry for leaving it to you.
But No. 700672 laughed and waved his hand.
"Of course. These plans are fun. Don't worry about it."
With that, 700672 began to give an overview of the project.
"The first thing we need to do is find a route to get back and forth, right?"
"Oh, yes, that's right.
"I think that we should establish a route to the gate of transition."
The gateway?
Yes. I heard that there is a relay station in the middle of the orbit. We can establish it.
"Yes, that's right."
Jin nodded.
The transportation of goods and personnel. First of all, we need to establish these.
The next step would be to improve the environment. This will depend on whether or not we can bring the asteroid resources to the site.
Yes, we have to work hard on that.
"You seem to be quite busy."
700672 smiled and looked at Jin.
"Yes, really. I can't have enough bodies,......2, I hear.
"Ha-ha-ha, I guess there's still room for more."
The 700672 laughed, which was unusual.
"In any case, we have plenty of time. Let's be very careful not to stumble.
This was a grand project, and failure was not an option.
"Yes, let's take our time."
"Yes, let's take our time."
After that, Jin had a few more meetings with the 700672 and returned to Horai Island.
* * * * * *
Ah, Jin-sama.
Rhodes, have you finished cleaning up your room?
Yes, thanks to you.
Well then, let's have dinner.
The day is drawing to a close.
The sky of Horaijima was colored by the setting sun.
