Jin announced to Reiko that he would begin upgrading the performance of the air force.

"What exactly are you going to do?"

"We will make it usable in space."

At present, all air power is equipped with a , so it is possible to operate in space as long as there are no humans aboard.

"But it's only at the level of <>, isn't it?"

"That's true, but..."

"We don't know what will happen with Hale. So we have to be careful."

Jin thinks that the power and defense are enough for the space force, but the simple < are not enough.

"The last long-period planet <, you know. When we dealt with that debris, it was in the atmosphere, so we could handle it, but I don't know what would happen if it were in space."

"I see what you mean.

Fortunately, the aircraft, the child of magical engineering, has plenty of space available to store additional equipment.

"We will add barriers and long-range artillery."

<> and >.

With these additions, Sky Squadron can operate as a space fighter squadron.

"That's it."

Jin, who had created the template for the work, instructed the craftsmen (smiths).

<<.

It will only take a couple of days.

"All right, let's go this way."

Jin decides to make some modifications to the himself.

He could carry a human being into space for a short time, but he was afraid of harmful cosmic rays.

Therefore, he installed a strong optical barrier (barrier) in three layers.

Only visible light is allowed to pass through the barrier, and the light intensity above a certain level is cut off.

This will reduce the risk of being hit in the eyes by flashes of light from explosions and the like.

Father, thank you for your hard work. You might as well call it a day."

"Oh, it's almost that time."

It's almost 6:00 p.m.

Jin took a bath to relax his body, enjoyed Elsa's cooking, and took a good rest.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"Father, what are you doing today?"

Reiko, his assistant, asked.

"Today we are going to make a lei."

"A lei?"

"Yes. Machina's followers. You've been inside and moved before, haven't you?"

The female knight who came to the rescue of Elsa's brother Fritz when he was attacked by a monster in the old Leonard's Kingdom.

"Yes, that's right."

She was wearing on her arms, on her legs, a full-face helmet, and armor, which disguised her size by about 20 centimeters.

"I still have the armor from that time, and I'm going to make an automata that can wear it, and I'm going to make it Machina's assistant.

Reiko smiled happily as Jin added, "You'll have to stay by my side.

"I understand. I will help you."

This was another familiar task for Jin and Reiko.

"I'd say they're about the same or better than Rand and the others.

They're below Reiko.

The structure is similar to Reiko's, and the rest depends on the material.

She is 5'5" tall and petite. Her hair is silver with bluish tint. Her eyes are ice blue.

Father, do you have an agenda?

"No, this time, just like Anne and the others, I've chosen a color that is unlikely to be found among humans.

"I think there are demons..."

"They might, but I don't think so."

There is silver hair and light blue eyes, but no silver hair with a bluish tinge.

"I don't think anyone has eyes this blue, either."

Her hair is shoulder-length and semi-long.

"Okay, that's good."

The order was as follows: No. 1, Jin; No. 2, Laojun; No. 3, . Elsa comes in fourth, and Reiko fifth.

Rei, I'm counting on you.

"Yes, Jin-sama."

You may not have many opportunities to appear in public, but as the leader of the World Guard, you will be working hard together with Machina from now on.

"...... wind."

In the evening, Jin was relaxing in the hot spring at his <>.

"I've done pretty much everything I need to do. ......I wonder if there's anything left to do."

Reiko answered his soliloquy.

Your father is working very hard. Please take care of yourself.

Jin replied as he stretched out in the hot water.

"Oh, yes. It would be bad if I were to get sick when the time comes.

Jin muttered to himself and looked out the window of the bathroom.

The moon had just risen in the twilight sky.

"I wonder if the spaceships are almost ready over there?"

Jin says, "Let's go take a look at it for rest and distraction.

"Will it really be a rest?

Reiko is a little skeptical.

Then Elsa calls out that dinner will be ready soon, and Jin decides to get out of the bath.

After a congenial dinner, Jin tells Elsa about the spaceship being built on the moon (UNY).

It should be completed soon. So I thought we could go see it tomorrow.

"Is that with a doppelganger?"

Of course.

Okay, I'll be there.

Okay.

Erza also decided to go. Jin went to sleep with a feeling of excitement for the first time in a long time.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Let's get connected.

Yes.

The next day, Jin and Erza were in the control room in the basement of the institute, at the controls of the <>.

<

Jin and Erza's vision changes. However, they feel as if they are <>.

Using the warp gate to the moon, the two of them move to the facility inside the moon.

Welcome, Master Jin and Erza.

The control head, Mr. Jack, greets them.

Three accompanying ships are ready, sir.

<>Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. 100 meter class spherical ships. The basic structure is the same as the Vulcan.

<

was also built in Yuny's arsenal, so it was only natural that < would use it as a reference.

<

Yes, I will show you.

Jin was excitedly moving the doppelganger.
