Now, for a change, the scene has changed to the Duchy of Jagus.

The town of Lalarg facing the sea and its fortress were in an uproar.

A huge airship, a deus ex machina, is approaching.

"...... wow ......"

"It's so intimidating. ......"

Soldiers were cowed.

Makina had contacted them in advance, so they were not mistaken for the enemy, but even so, the soldiers at the fort were in an uproar.

The absence of the fort's chief military minister, Buena Heiti (or rather, his absence on Aristotle), added to the chaos.

"Oh, calm down!"

Wako Somekka, the original commander of the fort, reprimanded him loudly, and the chaos somehow subsided.

Wako Somekka is 40 years old this year. He is a sturdy man, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 75 kilograms.

When he yells out instructions, the soldiers have no choice but to listen to him.

"That airship is not the enemy!　It belongs to our allies!"

This is a lie, since deus ex machina is not an ally of the Principality of Jagus, but it is certainly not an enemy.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Military Affairs, and ...... what did you say ...... yes, a researcher named Rokou Bee Shiharou is on board!"

The soldiers finally seemed to calm down after that explanation.

"Look!"

Wako Somekka pointed to the sky, where two <> carrying the four men were leaving <> and heading towards the fort.

The two planes were heading for the fort.

"Thank you very much for sending them, Mr. Machina.

Military Minister Buena Haiti thanked him on behalf of the group.

"No, no problem."

Makina was modest. Buena Heiti asks a question.

"How long do we have until ...... Jin-dono arrives?"

"Well, about half an hour, I think.

The Minister of Military Affairs sounded surprised at the answer.

"So, so soon?

"Yes."

Deus ex machina, in contrast, is unconcerned.

He knows the speed of the Horaijima fleet, and the who is piloting Makina is informed of the fleet's position in real time by the old man.

After 28 minutes, the Horai Island fleet was spotted far offshore from Fort Larague.

"Friendly fleet in sight!

On the mast flew the Nido family crest, a circle with two halves, and a deus ex machina flag with a hexagonal nut design.

The port of Larague was too shallow for the Horaijima fleet, so <><><> and <> anchored 200 meters offshore.

From there, everyone at the fort thought they could take a barge or something like that to ......,

"Jin would never come by such a conventional means," Makina said.

Makina said,

"That's true.

The first to nod his head was the king.

The first to nod his head was the king himself.

"I delivered the hot air balloon you gave me, sir.

"Mmm-hmm. Thank you, Jin-dono.

Jin D. and Reiko brought the two hot-air balloons using .

The tauvee has a capacity of six people and is equipped with a <>, so two folded up hot air balloons are nothing to worry about.

"...... Jin, or rather, Mister Jin, I'm going to hold a small thanksgiving banquet at the Duke's castle later, and I wonder if you and Mister Deus ex Machina will attend?"

These were the words of Niestor Cirillo Jagus, Duke of Jagus.

The language was such that all those present could not believe their ears.

(It seems that you are coming to your senses a little.)

The old man, who is currently piloting Jin D, thought it was a good trend. Then he said,

"Okay. I accept.

He replied.

"Well, it is a great honor. Now, will you come with me to the castle of the king?

"Yes, I will. Shall we go in my ?　Or will you go with Machina's Aristotle?

"Uh-huh, yes. ......"

At Jin's question, the king pondered for a moment,

"I'll take Jin-dono's , please."

He answered, "I'll ask for Jin's <<.

* * * * *

As the King wished, Jin D was to use to transport himself, Reiko, Makina, Rei, the King, and the Minister of War to the King's castle.

Incidentally, in the case of Jin D, Hope and Sky were assigned as pilots, but Jin D, who was a <>, piloted the vehicle himself, so that the aforementioned people could ride on the six-seater <>. The above-mentioned people were able to ride on the six-seater <.

As a side note, the <> had enough power to count even the weight of the king as one person.

We arrived at the castle of the king in just 5 minutes. Since they had communicated with the <> in advance, they were neither seen as hostile nor alerted, and the <> landed in the courtyard of the castle.

There, all the knights of the Kingsguard are there to greet the return of the Prince.

Three young ladies-in-waiting, one for Jin D. and one for Makina, are about to arrive at ........

"No need to take care of them," said Reiko and Rei.

Reiko and Rei rejected them.

At that time, she tried to ask for instructions from the king,

"Do as you are told ......", he said.

Everyone there was astonished when the King said, "Do as you are told.

And again,

"Jin-dono, Makina-dono, you will be treated as a guest of honor.

The king then retired to his room.

A male servant, not a lady-in-waiting, escorted Jin D and Makina to the guest room.

"Please wait here."

The room they were given was luxurious, indicating that a considerable budget had been spent on it.

"...... I guess it's your hobby to be so gilded," Makina said.

Makina says.

"Yeah,...... well, other than that, it looks pretty decent."

The design is not eccentric, but rather user-friendly.

However, the use of colors is vulgar and makes one's eyes flicker.

It is not a place that a person with normal sensibilities would feel at home in.

However, since all of the four people in the room are not human beings, there is no problem at all if one is conscious of not paying attention to them.

"Well, we'll just wait here until the banquet..." Makina muttered.

Makina muttered.

* * * *

On Horai Island, the old man was inspecting the room to which Jin-D and the others had been taken with a and confirmed that there was nothing dangerous in it.

It would be a good thing for Horai-jima as well, if the Duchy of Jagusu would change for the better with the current system, since it would mean that the world would be at peace without any unnecessary hassle.

.

The old man thought of consulting with Jin again.
