July 5, 3901, Laurentian Continental Calendar.

At 8:00 a.m. local time, a huge airship flew over Quonare, the capital of the Principality of Mimaka.

It is the well-known "Aristotle," the passenger ship of the "Deus ex Machina.

"Oh, here it is. That's the plane of the deus ex machina.

Jin looked up at the sky from the airfield and explained.

"I've heard about it, but I didn't expect anything like it. ......

"Indeed, there is a big difference between seeing and hearing. ......

No one was surprised to see the gigantic 100-meter-long ship.

< landed quietly on the airfield at Quonare.

"It looks even more impressive up close.

said Prime Minister Moiz Myas Lodi.

"Wow, I can ride in this thing!　......I'll get to ride it?"

The king, Gaspar de Mimaca, is unable to contain his inner excitement.

Next to him stood Sheena Sumia, his maid of honor and secretary, who is not fond of heights, looking a little pale.

Others attending the signing ceremony at were Ryuji F. Katsuki, the minister of general affairs; Trailu Nau Yuki, the minister of foreign affairs; and Daiki-Yuma Tatsuta, the commander of the Kingsguard.

When he heard the surname "Yuki", he said, "Yuki,

(I remember, was it in the town of Seki ......?　I wonder if they are related to each other ......).

I was thinking about it.

Also, I feel the remnants of Mitsuho in the sound of Commander Konoe's name and surname.

Jin shakes hands with the who has come down.

"Jin, it's been a long time.

Makina, I'm sorry to bother you.

What? This is for the sake of world peace.

Jin then introduces deus ex machina to the Prince of Mimaka, his secretary, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Commander of the Kingsguard.

"This is my brother's apprentice, Deus ex Machina, who is rather good at rough work.

The machina bows in a mitsuho-like gesture and says, "Deus ex machina,

"I am deus ex machina. Jin says things like that, but I am a pacifist.

With these words, she shakes hands with everyone.

He shook hands with all of them.

"Wow, you're still great!

Gaspar de Mimaca, the king of the kingdom, was so excited that he couldn't resist.

"Seeing the land from the sky is a very moving experience, isn't it?

Prime Minister Mojts Myas Lodi also said in a deep voice.

Although this was the second time he had flown in the sky since the last time he had been in Jin's , the view from the sky was still very special.

Especially for Foreign Minister Trailu Nau Yuki and Knight Commander of the Kingsguard Daiki-Yuma Tatsuta, who were looking down on the country from the sky for the first time,

"Umm...... you can see how far behind we are."

"Exactly. We are helpless when attacked from the sky.

We are helpless if they attack us from the sky.

* * * *

Jin himself was not on the Aristotle, but was heading for the Principality of Dalat by <>.

Only Jin and Reiko are on board. Since the pilot was Hope, the plane was traveling at 800 km/h, the normal maximum speed, and arrived at the capital city of Radatola in about 30 minutes.

At the airfield, waiting for them were the King Gilbert de Dalat, the Prime Minister Gix Jabo Miyata, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nitz Myo Shoki, the Minister of the Interior Maise Wai Haga, and the .

There was no problem, since there was no rule that the guards had to be human.

"Jin-dono, please accept my regards today.

First, Prime Minister Gix Yabo Miyata bowed reverently. Then the ministers of foreign affairs and interior greeted him.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of the Interior then bowed in greeting.

Jin also bowed to them and turned to Prince Gilbert.

"Your Majesty, how do you do?

"Well, Jin-dono, thank you for your hospitality today."

Jin bowed,

"Please come this way."

He invited Gilbert to join him in the hurricane.

"Please come, everyone."

Reiko invites the three others and one other.

Without any extra ceremony or ceremony, Jin, the King, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior, the Blue Knight, and Reiko boarded the in that order.

"Hope, let's get going."

After making sure everyone was seated and buckled in, Jin motioned to Hope.

"Yes, Master."

Hope started the blow engine. With a distinctive intake and exhaust sound, the floated up.

"Oh!"

And it flew!

The crew tensed their bodies. But only Foreign Minister Nitz Myo Shoki, who had flown in hot-air balloons and airships several times in the past, was nervous,

"This is an indescribable feeling of security," he said calmly.

He commented calmly, "This is indescribably reassuring.

The return trip to the Principality of Mimaka was about an hour in the air, since the speed was limited to 400 kilometers per hour.

"Nah, this is the south coast of our country... ...... hardly developed at all."

The coastline far from the capital is often undeveloped.

There are no roads even to the Principality of Mimaka.

"If we made an agreement, I hope we can build a road through here as well. ......

"Your Majesty, I will help you in any way I can."

Prime Minister Gix Yabo Miyata responded in a voice of quiet determination.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be in good health now."

"Yes. It is thanks to the nutritional supplements given to me by Jin-dono.

Hearing this, Jin replied,

"Then, I'll give them to you, too."

He took out Persica juice from the refrigerator and gave it to each one of them.

He took a sip of his own, but the king had already taken a sip.

Then the other guests tried it too,

"Oh, this is delicious!

"This is delicious!

"It seems to have cheered me up.

They showed such reactions.

"Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, because the day when you can fly while looking down at the clouds is coming.

Gilberto is now completely relaxed and speaks in his natural way.

The others are also relaxed,

"Is this deus ex machina's airship bigger than this?　I can't imagine.

"But then again, have there ever been three kings of three duchies in one place before?"

This day will go down in the history of the Duchy.

To the east, a hurricane soars toward the shining sun.
