"What is entertainment? ......"

After a break for lunch, the guests from different countries were divided into three groups.

Jin, Elsa, and Makina were the guides for each group, and they were to enjoy the Kunlun Island in their own way.

In Jin's group, there are the Empress of Shoro, the 3rd Prince Ernest of Egelea, the 3rd Princess Rieschen of Klein, the Kinswoman Gloria of Klein, the Kinswoman Flora of Shoro, the Prime Minister Boyd of Egelea, the Minister of Magic Kelichdole, Lyanna and Kate of the Royal Secret Maidens, and others.

In Elsa's group are Marquis Florenziano of the Kingdom of Elias, Minister of Magic and Technology of the Shoro Kingdom, Degauze, Commander Fritz of the Shoro Kingdom, and several others.

The group of Machina includes Cesar of Selroa, Lothar of Franz, Arthur, the 2nd Prince of Klein, and others.

Please come this way.

The group, guided by Erza, boarded the <>.

We will take a tour around the Kunlun Island from the sky.

"Watch your step, please."

Makina leads the group to <>.

"Just a few more minutes, please. ...... Oh, here it comes.

What the hell is that?

No horses. ......

"...... Jin, that's a car, right?　But it's a big ......."

Jin called for a <>. It is a , so to speak, newly built for such occasions, i.e., for transportation around the island.

(Useful and useful: ......)

It is a large vehicle with a capacity of 30 passengers and a quartz glass top for a good view. It is just right for Jin's group, which has the largest number of participants.

Ann is the driver.

"Here we go!"

"All right, let's go."

Jin felt uncomfortable with Ann, the driver, saying this, but he kept his mouth shut because he didn't really feel comfortable saying it himself.

The started smoothly.

"Oh, oh, it's moving!"

"I can hardly feel the shaking."

"It's just like the carriage Jin built. Active golem arm suspension, right?

Prince Ernest mentioned a name that I had not taught him, and Jin was a little surprised.

"Well, yes. It is an application of the golem's arms to mitigate the shaking caused by the unevenness of the ground."

"I don't know, but it's a great technology. ......"

The Empress is impressed.

The scenery outside the window is flying backward as if it were flowing. The speed was about 50 kilometers per hour.

The road has been paved with a simple pavement (graded and <> with engineering magic) so that it can reach such speeds.

"Where are they going?

Jin replies.

"We are going to visit the sightseeing spots in Kunlun Island.

True to his word, the bus climbed to the top of a small hill, or rather a small mountain.

This is the observatory. You can see what the Kunlun Island looks like.

We stopped the bus and all got out. Then we enjoyed the view.

"Oh, this is a nice view!

"You can see the ocean."

"......?　Jin, what is that building over there?

Ernesto pointed to Jin's building. It is a dummy research institute built on the Kunlun island.

That's the laboratory, his base of operations.

"Oh. May I take a look at ......?

Yes, if it's okay with the others. ......

Ernesto asks, and Jin says,

"I'd love to see it!"

"Yes, the Kunlun's stronghold is more than just a famous landmark."

"I'd be interested too."

Not only did no one object, but everyone wanted to see it.

Jin smiles and agrees.

"I can't guarantee that it will be interesting or not. ......

The group boarded the bus again and departed.

* * * * *

The bus, carrying the Marquis Florenziano and the others, was on a graceful trajectory around the Kunlun Mountain, which rises in the center of the Kunlun Island.

"This is a wonderful view. ......"

The Marquis sounds an impressed voice.

"Well, it is fundamentally different from a hot air balloon that it does not shake so much. I wonder what kind of technology you have ......."

Minister of Magic and Technology Degauze was impressed in a different way.

"Oh, that's ......."

Fritz had spotted something below.

It is a small mountain in the western part of the Kunlun Island. Something is moving at the foot of it.

"That's the big car Brother Jin built. Brother Jin is supposed to be guiding our guests with it.

"I see!　A big car!　It can hold two or three dozen people."

Maybe Fritz, the military man, is thinking of transporting soldiers, Elsa thinks with a little bitterness.

She likes her brother back, but sometimes it's hard to follow his military way of thinking.

She tries to let it go, but even though she knows it in her head, her heart does not always listen to her.

"You always think in military terms, don't you, Mr. Fritz?

A woman's voice interrupted Elsa's reverie. It was the Marquis Florenziano.

"Yes, I am a military man.

Fritz, being the Marquis of another country, replied in stiffer words than usual.

"I am aware of that. But this conference is a gathering to strive for world peace and to work towards its realization. You can't help what you think, but you shouldn't be so tactless with your words.

"......Yes, you are absolutely right."

Fritz scratches his head.

Elsa thanks the Marquis in her heart for saying what she wanted to say on her behalf.

* * * * * *

"Oh, oh, oh..."

"It's shakier than I thought it would be."

< has a maximum capacity of eight passengers, and except for Marin201 and Makina, the pilot, there are only six passengers on board. There are only six passengers on board, except for Marin 201 and Makina, who are the pilots.

"Please be careful. This is not a cruise ship.

Cesar, King of Cerroa, nodded at Makina's words.

"Yes, indeed. But I have been wondering about it ever since I saw it at the national celebration.

"But it's really a wooden ship, isn't it?

Prince Arthur says in an impressed voice.

< series are finished with lacquer mixed with fine particles of light silver on the outside, giving them a slightly brownish silver color. This gives them the appearance of being made of metal from a distance.

"That's right. Jin said he wanted to show the possibilities of wooden ships.

"I see...the possibility of wooden ships. That's quite a profound word.

Cesar was impressed.

"I never dreamed that a wooden ship could really sail at this speed.

This is a line from King Franz Lotharus.

"Now, we are almost at the northwest side of the Kun Lun island. The sea area where we recently intercepted the Death Serpent is close by.

Interesting.

I'm a little nervous.

However, in anticipation of such an eventuality, three vessels from <> to <>> are still in the area.

"Look, we can see them now."

<> slows down.

The wreck of the Death Serpent floats in front of them.

"This is ......"

"It's eerie up close, isn't it?"

The passengers were a bit taken aback by the sight of the monster, which they had never seen before.

(After all, the power of <> is a menace. ......)

Some of the leaders thought so.
