is just sitting idle on Raven Island, doing nothing to the naked eye.
But in fact, he is absorbing various information from his surroundings.
"<>, have you gotten used to this place?
asked Lando 1000, the man in charge of the development of Raven Island.
"Land 1000, huh? Well, thanks to you.
"I'm glad to hear it."
"...... So, I have something to say to Mr. Xindi. Can you get him for me?"
"Sure. I'll let you know right away.
* * * *
The time difference between Hourai and Raven Island is almost half a day, so it would be midnight on Horai Island, but the old man decided that it was an important matter and woke Jin up.
"......< wants to talk to you about something?"
"Yes, that's good. But what is it that you want to talk about?
With such a murmur, Jin takes his seat at the controls of his "doppelganger".
* * * * * *
On a hill overlooking the sea, <> was waiting for him.
"<>, I heard you wanted to talk to me about something.
"Oh, Mr. Xindi. Thank you for taking the time to see me.
Jin-D sits down on a comfortable rock.
"So, what can you tell me?"
"Mm. About ...... my past.
"Oh, you remember something?"
But > couldn't shake his head ...... sideways, so he waved one of his arms from side to side in denial.
"No. Gone information does not come back. And by <, I mean a time shortly before I stopped."
"Okay."
I stopped in the year 3790 on the Laurentian continent.
Jin, piloting Jin D, listened to what was going to tell him about what had happened in the Principality of Jagus.
"Apparently there was some trouble, and I was stopped deep in those mining mountains. It was the then head of the Mercana family, Nyestor Almazov Mercana, who awakened me.
"I see... I see..."
And so I came to serve Master Nyestor.
Yes.
"I used the knowledge I had to improve Master Niestor's position in the Pioneer Revolutionary Order. And he finally took the top position."
And he decided to call himself <>.
"So that's what that means. ......"
>'s explanation clarifies why the lineage of Niestor took the throne of the Duke (it was to win back the original family).
(Was it to turn the tables on the original family?)
It seems to have been done successfully.
The descendants of <>, who had been kicked out of the original family, had until recently ruled the Principality of Melkana on the continent of Pandor from the shadows.
But Jin-D was going to keep his mouth shut until <> had finished telling him everything.
"...... and I have prepared a magical brain for you, Master Niestor."
This was something that had been left unbuilt by one of the people who had supposedly built <> and had been put into service.
"I thought I didn't have much basic knowledge about that magic brain, but I didn't have much time left at that time.
"I also told you about the ruins to the west of the settlement called Mahaliegh, which I somehow had knowledge of."
"......"
Now I know why the Duchy of Jagus had set foot in those ruins.
"...... And Master Nyestor promised to return me to my original location after I had stopped moving."
"Indeed, you were laid to rest in the ruins."
"That was the last thing I remember before I awoke this time."
That was the end of the story.
"Thank you. Now I understand how things came to be the way they are now.
Jin D thanked him, and <> waved one of his arms from side to side again.
"Don't thank me. We were saved as well."
Then he continued,
"......I'm still concerned about the current world situation. Can you tell me what happened to the Duchy of Jagus?
I said.
"If that is what you want, I will tell you.
"Oh, by all means."
So Jin D. told about the current state of the Duchy of Jagus.
"......," he said.
"Oh, ......, I didn't know that was going to happen."
> looked a little shocked.
"It seems that our country has become somewhat different from what the first Niestre-sama had in mind."
Jin D decided to ask a confirming question since his voice sounded somewhat disappointed.
"......What kind of country did the first Niestre set out to create?"
"As far as I know, they were trying to make a more wonderful country to look back on the original one."
If that is true, the first Niestre might have been a great ruler in his own right, thought Jin as he piloted Jin D. (Although, he would have to check to make sure.
(But there was no way to confirm this.
It is possible that it was a pose he showed only in front of , or that he changed after stopped, but in any case, it is no longer possible to confirm it.
"...... What do you think of the Duchy of Jags now?"
"It seems to have become somewhat different from what the first Niestor-sama aimed for.
The exact same words as before are returned <.
"Do you want to do something ......?"
Jin-D boldly asked,
"No. I'm not interested in the Principality of Jags without Master Niestor."
"I see. ......
Hearing this, Jin, who was piloting Jin D, was half disappointed and half relieved.
"...... Speaking of which, did the previous Niestor investigate the ruins to the west of the settlement called ?"
"Yes. "Yes, probably."
Jin D explained that there were obvious signs that people had entered there when he had checked there.
"I see. So my advice was helpful."
"...... I guess so."
Perhaps this was the reason why the inhumane method of brainwashing had been established, but there was no point in telling that to now, so Jin D swallowed his complaint that had come out of his mouth.
