Marcel, the younger brother of the King of Celuloa, brought to the matter of <>.

"I see, I heard you talk about something like that in one of your lectures," said Arnold.

In his lecture, Arnold explained the reality of the <>.

He also talked about the heavy metal contamination of the lands in the former Dinaric Kingdom, which is now the Kingdom of Selroa.

Of course, Tomax Bartmann knows this because he had heard the lecture.

"The contaminated area is the area, which is about 3,000 square kilometers," he said.

"Even if we decontaminate one square kilometer a year, it would take 3000 years.

So, we'd like to request technical assistance from Avalon.

"...... If possible, we would also like to enlist the help of Magecraft Meister Jin and Deus Ex Machina."

Following the king's brother, Francis Valois de Selluois, the former Commander of the Kingsguard, also spoke up. He is the uncle of the present king.

"I am not at liberty to make an immediate reply to your request.

"I do not expect an immediate answer."

"......"

Silence fell.

Tomax Bartmann broke the silence.

"Right now, <> Jin is here on a different matter. ......Manon, will you go check on Jin-sama's availability?"

"Yes, Tomax-sama."

Tomax asked about Jin's availability and hoped that he would be able to attend the meeting, even if it was in the afternoon.

He also gave the same instructions to Simone.

"Simone, will you check with Mr. Arnold to see if he is available?"

"Yes, Mr. Tomax."

Arnold and Jin, if both of them could attend the meeting, it would be possible to decide on some more concrete details.

"The will be held soon. Wouldn't it be a good idea to discuss it there?"

"Indeed, you are right, Mr. Tomax. But there is one more thing we need to discuss.

What is it?

The ultimate weapon.

What?

I don't even know if it's ...... finished, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere ......"

"...... a lot of material was consumed at the time, but I can't find it anywhere."

"In other words, it has been built somewhere or is in the process of being built."

The three men from the Kingdom of Celuloa said in unison.

"We have no idea what to do with it, so we wanted to consult with you first.

"I see."

First of all, we don't even know if it exists or not.

The reason was that it was too vague to discuss such a thing at the .

Is that what you meant?

Yes. Our scholars are at a loss ...... as to what to do.

In the first place, it was found 750 years ago, and since it has not been found for that long, we do not know if it will be found in the future.

"It would be awkward to discuss such a property at the World Congress."

The three men's arguments were ones that Tomax Bartmann could relate to.

Then Manon returned.

"Tomax-sama, Jin-sama said he is ready anytime.

"Oh, I see. That's very good of you.

Tomax glanced at his watch. It was 8:30 in the morning.

Simone came back and told him that Arnold had said he would be available after 10:00 a.m. "I see..." he said.

"I see. I'll be happy to discuss it with you again at 10:00 a.m." "Oh, Gin," I said.

"Oh, if Jin-sama and Arnold-sama are going to join us, I have high expectations for them.

Of course I have no objection.

The members of the Kingdom of Celluloid agreed, and so the first consultation meeting was concluded.

"How would you like to wait until the scheduled start time?"

"Well, I remember that a <> was recently discovered in the ruins and we were discussing its analysis and application.

Francis Vallois de Cerlois, the former general of the Guard of Honor and the king's uncle, asked.

"It was considered for both analysis and practical use, wasn't it? ...... Yes, and you have become the head of the , which studies such advanced technology."

"Oh?"

"That's interesting."

Marcel and Francis were intrigued.

"Would you like to visit the new laboratory?"

"Yes, let's do it."

And so it came to be.

Manon asked Jin to show up at 10:00 a.m. for a consultation, so Tomax Bartman, Ilmina Ratkin, Fiona Fiasse, and Simone accompanied him to the <>.

Of course, they did not go on foot, but in a golem car.

It seems that traveling by golem car was also a rarity for the three members of the Kingdom of Celuloa.

After all, this is an artificial island.

It has a simplicity not found in the ancient Kingdom of Celuloa.

For better or for worse, an old town is a mixture of old and new, large and small buildings, and a messy atmosphere.

Welcome, Your Highness!

"Welcome, Your Highness.

Arnold greeted the group.

"My Lord Arnold, it's been a long time."

Marcel, the king's brother, was happy to see them again.

They had known each other since their visit to the underground base at Fort Lutgla.

"I congratulate you on your new position as head of the laboratory.

"Thank you, sir."

The greeting with the king's uncle, Francis Valois de Selluois, the former general of the Kingsguard, was stiff.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Boigny St. Zéquin, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

Nice to meet you, I'm Arnold.

I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Arnold, but I was wondering if you could take a moment out of your busy schedule to explain to us the practical application of the fire magic rocket engine you mentioned.

"Yes, I understand. Please come this way first."

Arnold led the group to a conference room in the laboratory.

"In a nutshell, we have concluded that it is not feasible to use this technology in manned aircraft.

"......! ...... or ......."

That's unfortunate.

"But there is another rocket engine that has been developed from it."

"Oh?"

"We call it the . It is a rocket engine that uses wind magic instead of fire magic.

"Oh."

Arnold explained the Magi Aero Rocket Engine, and the three members of the Kingdom of Celluloid listened with great interest.
