Ten <> continue to investigate.

And <> makes one discovery.

This is from .......

On a table in a small room.

A silvery-white mask.

Probably made of light silver.

Yes, sir.

agrees.

I'd like to pick it up and examine it, but besides the fact that it would leave no trace of infiltration, it's too small for <> and the others to pick up. .......

I inquired with the "Mere Old Man" and it seems that they are the same as those of the "Masked Man".

I say "seems" because he has never actually seen the man or the masks, but only hearsay.

So this must be one of the strongholds of the mysterious ship and the masked man.

The old man had no objection to that.

We continued our investigations, but found nothing of particular interest.

It would have been nice to know a little more about the masked man.

Indeed. Now we'll just have to go in and wait for whoever's behind this to come back out.

That's what we've come to. In short, we will continue our investigation.

We will continue to investigate.

"Well, this is another step forward.

Since it is now daytime on Horai Island, Jin was also receiving the report from the way.

As far as the old man is concerned, the and the are considered as enemies.

If they are not enemies in the end, so be it. If you intend to be hostile to them, you should prepare for it now so that you will not have to worry about it later.

It seems that you have used the facilities of <<<< origin, but they are not perfect, and therefore I judge that the product is of a certain quality>>.

"Yes, I think so too."

One of the reasons why the old man <> is the ship that used to attack Horai Island.

It was basically built of wood on the outside, with some structural members made of metal. Its overall length was 30 meters.

"It belonged to the <>, but I think Markitas built it using this facility, didn't he?"

<

"Yeah, I think so too."

Considering the number of vessels was over 100, it seemed to me that they chose quantity over quality.

<<

Even so, they could not compete with the < of Horaijima. .......

<.

"Yes, I agree with that. But the absence of the <> and the absence of the people who are supposed to be using this facility makes me think that there is more than one ship out there."

<

"You think so?"

<<

"Yes, I agree."

Jin agreed with the old man that there would be no need to panic or rush, even though it might be a surprise when they actually saw the ship.

<

The size of the dock area is a good indication.

Still, the size of this world-class threat.

"Don't we know what kind of ship it is, like a battleship or an aircraft carrier? ......"

<

"That's for sure."

Then the old man prepares a <>.

<

"Yes, please."

<

The old man started to move to find the target ship.

"Yes, I agree. Still, good luck with that."

* * * * * *

Jin left the search for the <> to the old man, and decided to check the naval vessels on Horai Island himself.

Reiko, help me.

"Yes, Father."

Now that we know that our current enemy has at least three 100-meter class ships and at least one larger, we thought we'd do what we could. We decided to do what we could.

The large vessels on Horai Island consist of 10 cruisers of 100 meters in length and 2,000 tons of water capacity. Ten ships.

<<<<<<<<<>> and a special cruiser <<>.

Incidentally, the reason why it is <> is because Jin used it for his honeymoon with Erza, so it is well-equipped with living facilities on board. However, its combat power is reduced because of this.

And there are three battleships. They are 250 meters in length and have a drainage capacity of 30,000 tons. They are <><><>.

This time, we put off < and , which fall short in terms of combat power, and checked the cruisers first.

"<>......Yes, good."

It is only because Jin is a <> that he can check a 100-meter-long ship in a single >.

However, it takes about five minutes per ship to examine the huge amount of analysis results.

Including travel time, it took about an hour to check 10 vessels, including <.

"I don't see anything out of the ordinary."

"Your father built these ships."

Reiko says proudly to no one in particular.

Next, the three battleships are checked.

This took about 10 minutes per ship, so the check was completed in about 40 minutes.

"No problem here either.

Jin tends to aim for < in the first place.

As long as he uses it as expected, it hardly deteriorates at all.

Of course, when used at full throttle, such as in battle, maintenance may be necessary.

However, since the < unit, which is usually the crew, performs daily-level maintenance, there is < as in this case.

"This is good to use in case of emergency.

As Jin was thinking to himself, he received a call from the old man.
