"I've been indebted to Jin-dono and his wife."

King Cesar of Celuloa muttered as he drank his after-dinner tea.

"Jin-dono for the monorail, and his wife for my father's illness.

"No, don't worry about it."

Jin is certainly no saint. He does not help everyone. Nor is he arrogant enough to think he can.

But if it is within his reach. If I hear it. If you see it in their eyes.

And when he is ready, he will act. He is a good-natured man at heart.

My father's illness was Richard the First's hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

Thanks to prompt treatment and healing, he has managed to recover to the point where he can speak and has recently been able to move around a little on his own.

"Of course, I also owe a lot to Merve's devoted care."

Merve is Richard's lady-in-waiting, but it seems that she is now his <.

King Cesar tells her these intimate stories.

"Merve is admirable. I wish I could be like that for my husband. ......

Elsa blushes as she is about to say.

"Ha-ha, you're so fresh!"

King Cesar smiles. In fact, he is still a bachelor. A king cannot marry lightly.

"Don't you have any marriage proposals?

Jin asked lightly,

"I have not been able to find a suitable match for you, Kunlun-kun, but I wonder if you know anyone who might be able to help me.

Balfeeza Walker, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, who was present at the meeting, asked Jin with a sigh.

"Well, ...... I have no idea. ......"

"Well, that's too bad."

It was true that Jin knew many single women, but he had to tilt his head back to the question of whether they were suitable for the Queen of Selroa.

It was more like they were not interested in such a position before that.

The luncheon, which was a very private and, depending on your point of view, even a little bit sensitive topic, went without a hitch, and the time was one o'clock in the afternoon.

The time is 1:00 p.m. The reception will be held in one hour.

The time is 1:00 p.m. The wedding reception is in one hour.

......I'm sorry, but I just can't do it.

I agree.

Jin and Erza have successfully switched places with their doppelgangers.

They are aware that they are being opened for them, so they feel sorry and temporarily let the old man's doppelg?nger operate in the name of creating a <>.

Although personal contact is forbidden, official introductions and greetings in public cannot be forbidden.

Reiko is following the real Jin.

"Should we also make a of Reiko?"

"Certainly, people who know Reiko in her normal form would think it strange if she is not accompanied by her doppelg?nger."

In addition, Reiko has received the rank of squire in the Shoro Kingdom, so there is no problem with her appearing on official occasions.

"What do you think, Reiko?"

"......... To be honest, it's a bit complicated."

The fact that there is someone who looks exactly like her is one thing, but the fact that she is a of herself is a bit of a problem for her.

"I see. ......"

Jin thought about it again.

"Then, we should make a covert task force (SP)>> in disguise."

"In that case, ......."

Reiko nodded reluctantly.

"That would be ...... ah, I see."

Pance and Viola, who work in Kunlun Island, are candidates.

"How about we send the ex-privates and to the Kunlun Island, and Pance and Viola as Reiko's doubles?"

Elsa also expressed her opinion.

"Well, ...... there won't be much work in Kunlun Island to begin with, so it might be a good idea to have them work concurrently."

"That's fine with me."

Reiko said yes, so we decided to assign Pance and Viola as Reiko's doubles, and Marron and Plum to work at Kunlun Island.

Since Pance and Viola were originally made in the same size as Reiko, the disguise would be quick and easy.

"This will work. Can you give me instructions on how to act and what lines to say at key points?"

>.

This is one of my concerns. After all, there will be receptions in the Shoro Kingdom, the Klein Kingdom, and the Franz Kingdom ahead of us.

After all this, only about half an hour has passed.

"Well, what should we do? ...... By the way, old man, how is the ship coming along?"

Here Jin checked the progress of the two ships, <> and <>, which were to be used for the honeymoon.

"Well, that's good."

Half of the remaining 20 percent is the emergency propulsion system that Jin is considering.

"We've got the motor, but we need a power source. ......

Using magic to generate electricity is meaningless for emergency use, and Jin does not have the chemical knowledge to make a battery.

"We'll have to make do with what we have on hand, but I guess we'll have to use compressed air."

Cylinders that can withstand 1000 atmospheres are already in practical use.

He thinks that if multiple cylinders are equipped with compressed air, the reaction force could be used to move the ship if it is sprayed backward in case of an emergency.

"It might be better to spray them into the water than into the air."

Jin thought that water might be a better medium to push the boat than air because of the recoil it would generate.

"Ah, but since it is only the recoil that makes it move, does that have much to do with it?"

Considering that the recoil from the air jet is effective even in a vacuum, Jin finally decided that there was no need to force the jet into the water.

"There is also the option of turning a turbine and using it to power a generator, rather than simply jetting. Which would be more efficient?

One idea after another came to mind, like a chain of ideas.

"But if we are going to use it, why not use a small boat?

Elsa also offers her advice.

It is true that it is too inefficient to move a large ship.

"Then, let's use them for lifeboats.

<

The "Mere Old Man" also gives his opinion.

"Then the lifeboat should carry four passengers, pressurized air propulsion, oars, markers for location, and water for emergency rations.

"...... would be a good idea."

"I'd rather not use it, though."

The possibility of distress is almost non-existent when the aircraft is capable of providing support from high altitude.

The only thing left is .

"Energy transfer?"

It is a method sometimes seen in science fiction and anime. It is to send energy to an object from a distant place.

"...... such an idea. ......"

Elsa is beyond impressed and astonished.

"If we can do this, we won't have to worry about running out of free magic element (ether).

The idea is sound.

There is a for connecting distant places and a for transferring matter.

"Simply speaking, all we have to do is to transfer the magical crystals (magicrystals) to the <> in which the markers are placed."

"...... indeed."

"But that's not smart, so I'd like to think about it some more."

"...... that's just like my brother Jin."

Erza was saying, "I like that kind of .

And then, when the nobles had finished their greetings, Jin and Erza, wishing to attend the wedding reception that had been arranged for them, switched places with their <>subjects.
