Maricka's < was held in a solemn manner.

Flowers were offered by the representatives of each country, words of thanks from his disciples, and words of condolence from his relatives.

The scene was also sent to Horai Island by the old man's telescope and magi-microphone.

As a side note, this gave Jin an idea that <>.

In short, a TV broadcast.

Aside from that, everyone in Horai Island was glued to the magic screen.

"Ah, I see Zion..." "I can still see his face..." "He's still here!

"He still has his face. She looks like a lovely grandmother.

"Could that be Prince Ernest's descendant?　I can see the resemblance.

"Look, look, the Emperor of Shoro!　Ernst II. Oh, you've been doing this for a long time, haven't you?

And so on, and so on, and so on.

Compared to the solemnity behind the magic screen, it was quite lively.

No wonder, since the person being sent, Marikka's homunculus, is there.

"But then again, it's not right to live on as a homunculus, is it?

Bina, who was listening to the representative of the Kingdom of Egelea read the eulogy, said something like this.

"Yes, that's true. But that doesn't mean we can't go back now.

Saki agreed.

"You know what Oni-chan says, as a general rule, it's better not to have contact with living people," she said.

Hannah looks a little disappointed.

"Which is a better place to live, Horai Island or Hale?

"It doesn't sound so bad to stay in Hale.

"We'll talk about it when Jin comes back.

Everyone agreed with Goose's opinion.

On the screen, the <> was about to end.

"I'm sorry, ...... Zion."

Marikka said.

Then the magic screen went dark.

The old man's voice rang out.

"Thank you, Mr. President.

"Thank you, Mr. Lao."

The members of the family thanked him.

* * * * "It was a good ceremony.

"It was a good ceremony."

Jin, who was in the last group to leave the hall, said to Zion who was walking next to him.

"Thank you. It was worth all the hard work you put into setting it up."

Such a large scale ceremony is bound to have delays or unexpected problems at some point, but nothing of the sort occurred, and the ceremony went on very smoothly.

"...... Speaking of which, how is <> doing?"

Hanako is an automata that Marikka created with Reiko as her target. I was curious about this because it is the same relationship between myself and Reiko.

"She seems to be spacing out at Marikka's house right now."

Jin wondered if this was also <>, and made a mental note to think about what he should do with Hanako.

"...... So, what's Jin going to do after this?"

"You're going to a dinner, right?　I'll show up."

In modern Japan, where Jin lived, he might have called it a "shinjo-koshi," a dinner party.

Jin was deeply moved by the fact that this was being held for 2,000 people, and that the food situation in the Nordic Federation had improved considerably.

"Well, this Topopo cuisine is delicious. The seasoning is different from that of our country, but it is fresh and good.

The ambassadors of the Kingdom of Elias were praising the food prepared in the new Topopo.

"This fish dish is also excellent. Not only the seasoning, but also the flavor is indescribable.

The Cline Kingdom delegation was also enjoying the fish dishes.

"Jin-dono, we are going to miss you, aren't we?

"...... I will."

<, was talking with Jin. In his hand was a glass made of cubic zirconia.

"I miss the days when I was a young man under the tutelage of Marikka-sama.

"You are still young, aren't you, Tomax? Please keep up the good work.

Yes, I want to live up to the teachings of Dr. Maricka.

Then Zion came in.

"Oh, Mr. Theon," she said.

"Mr. Tomax, thank you for coming all the way here.

Zion seems to be making the rounds to greet all the important people.

Of course, it was not only Zion, but also Rhodoth, Vita, Rorona, and Belialus.

No matter where they looked, they could not find any barriers between the two races that used to be called the and fought each other.

* * * *

On the island of Horai, the people who had finally grown tired of having fun were holding a serious debate.

The main reason for the discussion was "I'm free until Jin comes back.

The main reason for the discussion was that "I'm free until Jin comes back.

"Hey, about the air traffic control in the Shoro Kingdom..."

Hannah started.

"Didn't they use to use a flashing communication device in the past?"

"Yes, we did."

Marcia answered.

"I think it was an idea that came up during <>'s maiden voyage, wasn't it?"

Rodrigo answered, thinking back to that time.

"Yes, that's right. I remember that they had decided on several cues by the pattern of the blinking lights."

"And did I mention that Tenkunhan," Rodrigo said.　I think he also made a long-distance communication device like a Morse code machine.

Guth said, remembering the old days.

"Yes. Her Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister at that time said it was a good idea."

Erza also seemed to remember those days.

"Hmmm...but it's not so popular now, is it?"

Hannah said regretfully.

"I wonder why?"

"Well, ......."

Everyone tilted their heads.

Then, Reinhardt seemed to have an idea.

"Maybe it was too directional and difficult to use.

"Yeah, maybe."

Using light means that it cannot be used if it is not visible, and there are many situations where it is difficult to see, such as when the fog is thick or backlit.

The problem is especially serious on the receiver side.

You couldn't solve that, could you?"

Hannah nodded in agreement.

"It's not suitable for long distance communication."

"So why don't you use it for air traffic control?

Bina also expressed her opinion.

"I think it could be useful if it's done well, don't you?"

"Yes, I think so!"

So they all decided to discuss the practical application of the flashing lights.
