On September 10, Jin was receiving attention from Reinhardt and Lewis in Horai Island.

"Jin, I know how you feel, but you need to make a connection with the Klein Kingdom, don't you?"

"Yes, I know that, but ......"

"I know it's a hassle, but at least you have to do it yourself the first time."

"...... not a word."

The other day, when I delivered the <>, I left it in the hands of Makina and Zion.

"Oh, that time, my alter ego (doppelganger) was in <>, so I had no choice. ......"

"That's true. It was a convenient situation."

"Ugh."

When you put it that way, I certainly couldn't deny that I had chosen such a situation.

"But, well, the <> seemed to have a good reputation.

The other day, I received a test-drive evaluation of the <> via the old man.

"Yes, indeed. As someone who helped him, I am relieved.

Reinhardt has also heard about the evaluation.

Lewis, too, decided to withdraw his complaint.

"We had 20 men on board for the test drive, and one of them was in the <>. So he gave me a detailed report."

"Mm-hmm."

"Yeah." "According to the report, the suspension works great. Shock absorption is good. He said he would like to have more speed, but looking at the current situation in the Klein Kingdom, there are not many situations where top speed is needed."

"I see."

"I see." "The only complaint I have is that there aren't enough passengers. Although ......, there is no vehicle that can hold more than a <>."

Then why don't you rent another car?

"I see. That'll do.

Jin and Reinhardt immediately built another bus of the same model.

"...... I see. Maybe I'll take it this time.

"You mean what you just said?　That would be better.

"Well, if that's the case, it can't be the same as the one made by Machina, so we'll have to make some subtle changes.

So I'm going to make a few changes.

Since the bus that we had assumed to be made in Makina was a bonnet bus, we decided to use a horizontally opposed Golem engine instead of an in-line one.

"It's a horizontally opposed 12-cylinder."

The goal was to make the engine as flat as possible, and it turned out to be a 12-cylinder.

It is a Golem engine, so <> is not right, but that's what you get used to.

"I want to make the seats higher like a double-decker bus, but if I overdo it, it will lose stability. ......"

Too bad there are almost no paved roads, so they would have to be designed for rather rough terrain.

(Well, as these buses become more popular, they will be paved.)

(Well, as these buses become more popular, they will be paved.) If people feel the need, they will do it with amazing enthusiasm.

Jin thought it would be a good idea to build a Golem bus with higher speed.

(Accidents could be prevented to a great extent by using ...... golem drivers.)

Unlike humans, golems do not get tired or sleepy, and their reaction time is several times faster than humans, so they can avoid danger better than humans.

(In fact, it might be safer to leave the driving to a dedicated golem.)

This may be a kind of automatic driving.

So, Jin decides to use to bring the new bus to the Klein Kingdom.

He asks Zion to contact the Klein Kingdom, and gets to transport the bus with the help of a deus ex machina.

The reason is that a 40-meter-long < would seem to be too large ...... to carry a bus.

A 100-meter-long <> would appear to carry a bus without any visual difficulty.

In reality, it is a little too much for a pure airship to carry the weight of a <.

"Did you make another <>?"

The <> of <>...... who had come to <...... was half-amused and half-impressed.

"Oh. I heard that they said something about not being able to carry enough people."

"Yeah, so..."

Then Jin told me his other true intention.

"And one more thing, I've got to get in touch with the top brass of the Klein Kingdom.

"That's true."

Zion D nodded.

"......At any rate, the person who will pick you up is , so good luck with that."

"What?"

It was only natural that a point of contact had been set for the donation of such a magical machine (magi-machine).

And on September 11, the <> with Jin, Zion D, Reiko, Deus ex Machina, and others on board landed at the capital of the Kingdom of Klein as before.

"Welcome, <>, Jin Nido."

We were greeted by Corwen Raqqa Kido, Minister of Magical Engineering and .......

"I've been looking forward to meeting you."

King Mericarance I of the Kingdom of Klein.

"It's an honor."

Jin shakes hands with them calmly. Inwardly, he is a little nervous.

Last time I was on the deus ex machina bus, and this time I'm on my own bus.

"Oh, thank you. Are you sure that the conditions of the loan are the same?

Yes, that is correct. You can report back to me later on how you like it.

"Yes, I promise."

Mericarance I spoke with Jin in a firm manner and made a promise.

This would be documented later.

Then, when the conversation between the King and Jin was over, the Minister of Magic and Technology, Corwin Raqqa Kiddo, said,

"Mr. Jin. I have been looking forward to meeting you.

Jin said, "I have been looking forward to meeting you.　Jin was surprised to hear that Jin had a different impression of Jin from what he had heard from Sion.

"When I was a child, I heard of the glorious achievements of the previous ......2 generation, and I have always admired them."

"I see. I am the third ...... generation, and I would like to say thank you on your behalf."

I'm the third generation, but let me say thank you on your behalf.

"Oh, I'm honored."

Perhaps because he was in front of the King, the Minister of Magic and Technology, Corwen Raqqa Kiddo, was quite honest in his response.

He then gave a brief description of the bus.

"Basically, it is the same as the one in Machina, but we have eliminated the hood in order to have a better view of the front part of the bus.

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

"In this respect, the latecomers have an advantage.

After such conversation,

"Please come and have dinner with us this time.

They say, "This time, please have dinner with us.

Theon D. and Machina naturally had no objection, and Jin did not refuse the invitation since the purpose of this visit was to show his face to the Kingdom of Klein.

parked his plane at the airfield and headed for the royal castle by carriage.
