"Wow ...... and, it's flying ......."

"Nah, it's not like riding in a hot air balloon or a small wind-powered flotation device (blow floater)!"

"......"

Cachea, Eira, Gromma and the others were on the <, and they were all saying what they thought of it.

They are on their way from to Shoro.

Of course, the house of Leuthart has been contacted.

(I said "my mansion" out of old habit, but it was actually the residence of Daikie and Mrs. Cocona.)

Jin was thinking that he would take this opportunity to invite Daiki-Nido and Mr. and Mrs. Cocona to Horai Island.

(Or, it would be nice to meet the other descendants on <>. ......)

Jin thought that he had to go to Loisart first anyway, so he decided to consult with Zion who was riding with him.

"Zion, why don't we go to the observatory?"

"Oh, is there such a thing?"

"Yes. The top of the air sac is transparent and there is a ladder attached to it. But it's so narrow that only two people can climb up.

The size of the air sac was designed with Hitoshi and Reiko in mind, but it also seemed to be useful for this kind of confidential meeting.

After Zion, Marikka.

"Yes, I'm looking forward to it!"

So Jin and Zion were at the observatory.

"Wow, it's a nice view. The sky is so blue.

Zion seemed to be impressed by the view of the vastness of the sky.

"At ......?　What do you want to talk about?"

Zion seemed to realize why I had brought him here. He was very old, he thought, but did not say it out loud.

"I'm no match for Zion. I'm talking about ...... those three and the two Reuzerts."

"You mean if I can join the <>?"

"No, before that I was wondering if I could take them to Horai Island and Onogoro Island."

"Oh, I see."

Theon nodded in agreement. Then, after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

"I think it's a good idea, don't you?

You seem trustworthy," says Theon.

"It's a different story if we bring him into the family, but if we just take him with us..."

"You think so?"

"Yes. You're going to use a warp gate, right?　Then we don't know where they are, and we just need to be careful beforehand.

Jin's shoulders lightened at Zion's words.

"I guess so."

< is not normal, so a little bit of trouble should be acceptable to them, Jin decided to open his heart.

"Wow, the sky is so beautiful!

After Zion, Jin led Marikka to the island.

He asks Marikka if she would like to take Daikie and Cocona to .

"I think it would be a good idea. They are of the Nido family, aren't they? I think it would be okay for them to live here.

"I see. But I'm not sure about that.

Jin then began to think that if they wanted to move to , he would have to replace them with automata.

"Except for the three you brought with you this time, right?"

"Yes. I don't intend to take Ka-cea and the others to .

<

(Joining the <> could determine the rest of their lives. ......)

Jin thought that it would be difficult to lead a normal life. He did not intend to make a hasty decision on this.

In this sense, the members of the first were quite special.

Jin recalls with nostalgia that they all had their own unique characteristics.

After that, Rhodoth, Katya, Eira, and Groma were guided one by one, and after they had enjoyed themselves, the <> was about to fly over the Shoro Kingdom.

The hurricane flew in the opposite direction at the same speed as the rotation of Arus, so it was 11:00 a.m. local time in Leuthart.

The airships and hot-air balloons that are watching the sky above us are identified by using wind magic as well.

"This is <> Jin Nido. I am visiting the house of Reuthert."

>

The soldiers are overwhelmed by the strange appearance of the they see for the first time, but they do their duty.

I'm sure they'll get used to Jin's unorthodoxy after a few more times. ...... God only knows if that is a good thing or not.

* * * * * *

Jin-sama, welcome to our show.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Shoro Kingdom of Loizart.

The lands on the rooftop of Reuthert's mansion.

Daikie and Cocona greet her.

"Hey, I'll be staying with you for a while.

"No, Jin-sama is always welcome to stay with us.

No, Mr. Jin is always welcome to stay with us.

Mr. and Mrs. Daiki-kona had become the caretakers of the house.

"Oh, you're going to spend the New Year's holidays here?

It's like a dream!

When Jin told them that he wanted to invite them, Daikin and Cocona were overjoyed.

"Well then, after lunch, you can get ready.

"Yes, sir!"

The time was about noon, but since Jin and the others had traveled two hours ahead of the time, their actual time was 2:00 p.m.

<, but were feeling a little hungry.

"I was told you were coming, so I have prepared something for you.

Lunch was ready in the dining room.

White porridge, dried plums, dried bonito flakes, wasabi, chopped laver, seaweed salt, kelp boiled in soy sauce, and pickles. The tea was hojicha.

"This is delicious!

"Oh, it's delicious."

"Mmm, it's delicious."

Groma, Katya, Eira and the others seemed to like this menu.

Of course Jin liked it too. Jin had four more servings of this dish, saying that it would be nice to eat it in the style of wasabi chazuke with a little bit of wasabi.

He had prepared a smaller bowl of rice for this purpose.

"......"

"......This is the warp gate. ......"

<. < will be recovered later.

And this time, as a special exception, we have decided to move directly to the basement of the institute without going through the relay base .

"I should say that you are indeed a <<> at ...... that you can use the transfer gate (warp gate) so casually."

Groma was overwhelmed by Jin's technology.

On the other hand, Cachea and Eira are impressed and accepting. They seem to be more adaptable.

And Daikie and Cocona seemed speechless.

They also did not say anything, but Zion and his wife are used to it, so they just did not get excited.

After passing through the warp gate, they exit the basement of the institute.

The old man's voice,

"Welcome, everyone!

The five-colored golem maids greeted the group.

Jin then delivered his usual line.

"Welcome to Horai Island.
