May 1, 3901 .

"Is today May Day? ......"

Jin muttered as he relaxed in his house on Horaijima.

"I used to be made to participate in it every year. ......"

May Day is a festival held annually on May 1 in many parts of the world.

In Europe, it is a day to celebrate the arrival of summer, but in modern Japan, it is a day to celebrate the arrival of summer.

In modern Japan, however, it has a stronger meaning as , a rally organized by <>.

In the past, workers sometimes held demonstrations to assert their rights, and there was an incident called <>.

However, at least the May Day that Jin participated in was one where the workers gathered as instructed by the labor union, walked around as instructed, and disbanded after a lazy half day of work.

This was probably the nature of the labor union at the company where Jin was working.

At least, the other groups he met at May Day were more serious.

So, Hitoshi, being a bachelor and a low-ranking member, had to kill his precious holiday every year as a representative of his workplace.

But that's beside the point.

"Well, that was a long time ago in a distant world, wasn't it?

Jin muttered and looked up at the sky.

The sky of Horaijima was clear blue with white clouds floating in the sky. It was the height of spring.

The Shoro Kingdom's < is going well, and the Franz Kingdom's circuit is also going well. And the Berlich workshop is also doing well with the delivery of the <>. Things continue to go well."

Everything was flowing < without any need for Jin to interfere or help.

"I think it's time to go to the continent of Pandor ...... now or ......."

For a while now, he had wanted to take Cachair to Tazie Village and other places to see what was going on there.

I wanted to take Kaciea with me, first to show her around, and second, for her to go back to her home country.

Kachel was also back home for the New Year's holidays, but since it was her parents' home, there was no need for her to be shy.

So Jin decided to start preparing for the departure.

He asks the old man to check his luggage.

? >>

"Yes, it will be. And I will not bring <> this time. I think the <> will be fine."

<

"Well, then. Now we need to find out who is going to accompany us. ......"

< had gone to to do research and investigation of their own.

The season in Hale coincides with the season in Arus, so it is spring there too. The weather is pleasant.

"I wonder if Elsa and Saki are gone too. ......"

About a week ago, they went to the Shoro Kingdom.

They toured the town where their parents' home ...... used to be and visited the graves of their ancestors.

They are sometimes together with other women, so they have Anne as their escort.

After that, they went to the <>.

As Theon had declared that he would search for it by April 30, he had found a tree from which <> could be extracted, so he went there to verify its quality.

So now, Jin was the only one on Horai Island.

"Maybe I should ask Ka-cea out, after all..."

He was reluctant to do so, but he was a friend and wanted to be guided.

And since she is related to , it would not be a problem to show her some of Jin's magical tools.

"I might have to tell Erza about this.

After all, she will be traveling alone with Jin. Unless you count ...... Reiko.

Jin then contacted Erza at 7:00 p.m. in the Shoro Kingdom.

<>

Since it was unusual for Jin to contact Erza on such a trip, Erza seemed to be suspicious.

"No, it's not like that. ......"

Jin asked Ka'Chea to show him around the Pandor continent.

Erza did not seem to think anything of it, since she had already told him about it before.

Jin said that he thought it was extravagant of her to think that not even a piece of rice cake would be baked for her, but that it would be lonely .......

> he whispered in a small voice.

He heard Erza's voice whispering in a small voice.

"Yes, don't worry. I won't betray your trust."

And it was Berlich Becker who had the heart of Ka?ea in the first place.

I'll see you later."

They exchange such a conversation and hang up just before they are about to leave.

<

and the connection was disconnected.

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

Jin was meeting with Tomax Bartman, the chief administrator of <>, to make a formal offer to <>.

"Ah, you want to go and see what is happening on the continent of Pandor.

"I know that after the liberation, a temporary administrator is in charge of the administration, but I would like to see it from a cultural point of view, not a political point of view.

At the same time, he explained what he wanted to do on the other continent.

"I see, so you are mainly interested in cultural ...... and technical matters?"

Yes, and I would like to help if I can.

Yes, and I would like to help if I can.

The has conducted political inspections on several occasions, but this is the first time that cultural and technical inspections have been conducted.

So this is an informal visit?

Yes, that's right. If we go publicly, there is a high possibility that we will be hidden or misled, or that we will be shown a ...... mended appearance.

"Yes, that's true. That's right, Mr. Jin.

"...... thank you."

The first reason is that it is not in my nature to be ostentatious, but I cannot say that.

Besides, it is surely more convenient to know the truth if you are a <>.

It's convenient to be with a local, Katya.

I understand. Let's give Cachéa a leave of absence to inspect the Pandor continent.

Tomax Bartmann nodded broadly.

"Thank you for your prompt attention. I will make sure that the report is filed properly.

Since his days at the black-owned company, Tomax Bartmann has been in the habit of submitting reports after leaving the office for training or company business.

"I'll be counting on you."

So, accompanied by Fiona Fiasse, a.k.a. Fifi, an apprentice secretary, Jin visited .

"It's been a while, Jin."

Eira came out to greet Jin.

"Just in time, I have something I'd like you to see.

"Oh, hey."

With that Eira pulled Jin to a vacant lot behind the laboratory.

"Jin-sama, I'll explain it to Katya-san.

Fifi said and sent Jin off.
