"Yes, my name is Biblio. Please give me your regards."
Jin introduced Eide, the head of the library, and Hiro, the chief of the library, and assigned them command authority.
"Vibrio, from now on you will support the work of this library.
"Yes, sir."
After Jin set up the command authority, he explained Vibrio to Hiro and the others again.
"Please use it for general library operations. You can make copies of books and repair them.
"Thank you, Jin-sama! Now we can proceed with the preservation of valuable materials!"
Jin advises to display the manuscripts of valuable books and to keep the originals in good condition.
Hiro, Mii, and Eide listened with mysterious faces.
"Once you let them read a book, they will memorize its contents, about 10,000 copies of a 100-page book.
"Yes, 10,000 ......"
Ade is absolutely astonished. Hiro and Mii also seem to be surprised. The number of books in this library is about 2,000 at most.
"Last but not least, this biblio can be serviced by the maintenance golem in the factory.
"Oh, I see! That's very helpful!"
However, since the golem, which is powered by a magical resin, does not require maintenance, there is no need to do so unless the golem becomes very unstable.
"Shall we have Biblio wear this outfit?"
We decided to dress him in the uniform of a library employee. A stranger would be surprised to see a golem out of the blue.
Wearing the uniform of a library staff member would lessen the surprise a little.
"Oh, you look good.
"Thank you very much."
So, Jin and the others tour the library with the clothed Biblio.
"Wow, the air-conditioning is really well done.
The temperature and humidity are kept at a constant level.
The spare storage room is also air-conditioned. With a little maintenance, it would be useful enough for storing old books.
So Jin spent about 10 minutes reconditioning the air-conditioning equipment.
"Thank you, Jin-sama!
"No, I promised."
Jin felt better now that he had fulfilled his promise.
However, Jin could not tell the old man that the contents of the book he had memorized would be sent to him.
(I will back up important and valuable books, too," he muttered in his mind.)
(I'll back up the important and valuable books here, too.) Jin muttered in his mind and bowed his head.
He decided to spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing.
He and Mii joined in the chatting over a cup of tea.
Mii talked about Mitsuho and the surrounding towns.
Saki talked about the Shoro Kingdom.
Hannah talked about the village of Kaina.
Erza sometimes makes a comment or adds to Saki's comments.
Jin was more of a listener.
"You know a lot of things, Saki-san!"
"Yes, do I?"
"Yes, very! And you don't flaunt it, which is also attractive!
"Attractive?"
I think there was a part of the conversation that Jin didn't want to understand.
It was an enjoyable and time-consuming moment.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The morning of April 14, the day we parted.
In front of the guest house, there was a crowd of people to see off Jin and his group.
Many people came to the guest house to see Jin and his family off.
Hiro had brought samples of mercury and alum, taps and dice, and soap, just as he had promised.
About 10 liters of mercury and a 10 liter container of alum.
Taps and dice were 2 sets of all sizes, from 2mm to 10mm, in 1mm increments. Ten boxes of soap, each containing 10 kilograms.
So far, so good.
"...... food?"
5 bags of rice, about 100 kg.
10 kilos of bimpei (miso).
2 kilos of dried meat, 2 kilos of dried fish. And five 10-liter water containers.
Well, we can carry them.
You can also load them on the roof and cover them with waterproof leather to keep them out of the rain.
There is also storage space under the floor for samples, taps and dice.
We managed to fit everything between the seats.
The Golem arm suspension prevents sinking.
"It's a little cramped, but bear with me."
"It's a little cramped, but bear with me.
And so we are finally ready to go.
As Jin and the others finally got into the car, many words were thrown at their backs.
"<>, hooray!
"Thank you so much, Jin-sama.
Jin-sama, please come back again.
Jin-sama, I respect you very much.
"Erza-san, Saki-san, we will miss you. ......"
The car in which Jin and the others were riding started to drive slowly.
The car was going along the road that goes around Lake Sayama.
The people who had gathered to see them off stood there for a while, even after the car carrying Jin and the others disappeared from sight.
* * * *
"......That was fun, wasn't it?"
"......n."
"Yeah!"
"...... yeah."
The days spent in Miyako were unforgettable for Jin and the others.
On the other hand, Jin felt that even the most advanced technology would be lost in the passage of time if there were no heirs to carry it on.
A car driving down the street.
The inside of the car is clean because too much luggage has been sent to Horaijima.
That day, we rounded Kure and stayed overnight in Inno. Even though we drove slowly, we arrived in the early afternoon.
Miyako had probably been informed of the arrival in both Kure and Inno, and we were welcomed by many residents.
"You're very popular, my dear!
"My father is a magecraft master!"
Inno's Inn. Reiko is playing with Hannah. Jin overhears them talking, and thinks about the journey he will be taking tomorrow and beyond.
"Now comes the road without a road. But there must be some remnants of a road, since a highway passed through the area in the past. Perhaps the route we saw from the is the correct one."
"Yes, I think so."
"Jin, what about the map you got?"
Erza and Saki are also curious about what will happen the next day. It would not be without danger, but it was hard to believe that anyone could harm Jin and the others now.
"Well, anyway, it looks like we should go around the foot of the mountain to the northwest.
Jin added that the route would probably have little difference in elevation.
"Anyway, tomorrow."
Jin was excited. Since his arrival in this world, he had mostly visited places that had been prearranged by the 5th Column (Quinta) and the Covert Task Force (SP), either by warp gate, transporter, or airplane.
This time, too, the research has been done to a certain extent, but at a different level.
This trip was a lot of fun for Jin, and he enjoyed it.
(After returning from this trip, I will be busy again. ......)
There will come a day when we have to devote ourselves to the development of spacecraft and the holding of world congresses.
I don't mind that in itself, but it is true that these free days are the most enjoyable.
Without showing such a thought, Jin thinks about the journey that starts tomorrow.
