"Well, the policy is ............."

Jin tells Laojun what he thinks.

Basically, Reiko and Laojun, who are created by Jin, do not actively express their opposition, so they ask Ann to join them.

"......If the Goshujin-sama says that's all right, then I guess it's fine."

Ann agreed with Jin's plan. Then Jin made up his mind.

"All right, let's get started. Old man, please make the preparations.

After leaving the preparation of the materials to the old man, Jin took a break and wondered what he should do with Elsa.

What he was going to do was out of the ordinary even from his point of view. However, he does not want to regret doing something halfway.

The thought of why I am doing such a thing flashed through my mind, and I felt a little disgusted, but then I reminded myself that this is something that I can do.

I wondered if I should let Erza go along with such an outrageous activity, but after explaining the situation to her and asking her to cooperate with me, I thought I was missing the finishing touch by not letting her participate in the packing.

I was a little hesitant to wake her up when she was sleeping comfortably, but I couldn't leave her there.

"Nn-u...... brother Jin?"

Erza was sleepwalking, but she seemed to remember what had happened last night.

"...... what happened after that?　I asked her about her illness in detail, and after that, I made a magic tool ......."

Erza seemed to remember up to that point, and it was around that time that she began to doze off.

"Erza, I'm going to do the best I can. What about Elsa?"

He was going to respect Erza's will in the end, but she responded to Jin's question without a pause.

"......I'll stay with you until the end, of course."

"Okay, then, let's go wash our faces to wake up a little."

Jin felt tired, so he went downstairs to the workshop and washed his face in the sink. Erza did the same.

"Well then, watch me make it. ...... Reiko, could you get the magi crystals over there for me?"

Yes, Father.

With a little help from Reiko, Jin builds an ether converter. It is a powerful one.

"You have to be careful when you write the magic formula here. It converts free magical elements (ether) into magical elements (mana) here, and its efficiency is ......."

He explains the process to Erza. Erza, too, is still half a novice with the Magi Formula, but she seems to understand what Jin is trying to say and listens intently, even though she doesn't understand it.

"......Okay, now I've got one."

Jin continued to complete the ether converter, the mana driver, and the mana tank.

Then they put them together and put them in the chassis, and finally they built in another eladolite to complete the project.

Erza could tell that the finished product was a very powerful magical tool.

"Brother Jin, what does this do?

Jin did not answer her question directly, but showed her the process of writing the magic that would be the decisive factor of the magical tool.

"<>......<<>"

Elsa rolled her eyes when she saw the magic that had been written in.

"......It, is ......."

"Yes. It's a healing spellbook. It can affect a very long distance and a very wide area.

Jin explains his plan to Erza, who had been dozing and was not listening.

"We will put this on the Pegasus ...... plane and apply healing magic from the sky to the ground. That's how I'm going to cure the magical exhaustion fever.

Erza could hardly believe her ears when she heard this.

I know that Jin has an airplane and can fly.

She also knew that Jin could create powerful magic tools.

I know that Jin can use magic that he cannot use if he incorporates it into his magical tools.

But I did not know that he was planning to combine them. No, I didn't think such a thing was possible before that.

"...... Jin is still out of the ordinary. He is out of his league. ...... like a savior in a story."

Erza said this with the intention of praising Jin.

But Jin's reaction was different.

"I'm not the messiah."

"What?"

"......I'm not the messiah, and I've never wanted to be. I honestly don't want to do this. I just want to make a life where I can make what I want and have people happy to use what I make ......."

"Brother Jin ......"

Perhaps it's because he's tired from an all-nighter, but today Jin's speech is light. Once his true feelings come out of his mouth, they overflow like a dam.

"This is simply for my own sake."

"............"

Erza has no words to say after hearing Jin's painful true feelings.

"I don't care about someone I don't know. But there are people I care about. They live in Kaina village, and Kaina village is my precious place, and to protect Kaina village, the Kingdom of Klein to which Kaina village belongs must be peaceful, and for the Kingdom of Klein to be peaceful, the surrounding countries must be peaceful as well."

Jin smiled a little tiredly as he said this.

"...... So I'm going to do this for me. Just for now. And now it's turned into such a big deal."

Looking back at Erza, Jin continued.

"I'll protect what I want to protect in the way I can. That's all."

"............"

Perhaps because he has let out his pent up anger, Jin smiles a little differently than before, with a sad smile.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told Elsa this. Maybe I'm tired after all. ......

Jin scratched his head. Erza took his hand,

"......No, I'm glad you told me. ......I can't do anything for you, but I can at least listen to what you have to say.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you want to do.

"...... Jin brother?"

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the two of them are not in the same place at the same time.

"......Thank you. ......I'm in the Shoro Imperial Palace right now, and I'm seeing and hearing all kinds of interesting things, and I'm just wondering why I'm being bothered so much."

These words were not very forceful. Erza told Jin in a concerned voice.

"...... Jin, you're too much of a one-person person. Reiko and the others were worried about him before.

It was when the battle with the Unification Party (Unifiler) was near. At that time, Erza helped Jin to change his mind at the request of the old man and Reiko.

"I know I'm not reliable and I can't do much, but I want you to depend on me a little bit. Like this time."

Jin sagged in front of Erza as she finished.

"Brother Jin?"

But Jin quickly looked up and his face brightened.

"...... I see. Maybe I thought I could do everything by myself. I had Erza's help this time too.

Jin slapped his face with both hands with a clap,

"Thank you, Elsa. You woke me up."

This time the thank you was full of power.

"Reinhard told me before that I should know the norm in this world. I know I'm a heretic in this world. Sometimes I go too far."

Jin's eyes were smiling as he said this.

"But I am who I am. I can't change that. If I ever make a mistake, Elsa, you let me know."

"....... I'm on it!"

Jin smiled and patted her on the shoulder,

"Okay, let's go. ...... Reiko, I'm sorry, but can you load the <> on the Pegasus 1?"

Reiko, who had been looking a little sad behind Jin's back, broke into a smile at the instruction,

"Yes, Father."

She lifted up the treatment device with joy.

（Thank God. Your father is getting better. (I am very happy that your father is feeling better. ......Elsa, you are very good at understanding your father's feelings. ......It is frustrating, but I have to admit it.)

Soon the treatment device was loaded into Pegasus 1 and Jin set it up so that it could be aimed downward.

"That's it. If we can render it harmless with <>, we should be able to use <> to achieve the desired effect in a shorter period of time.

Jin speculates that the pathogen of <> is a mutation of the bacteria or virus that causes the disease in birds.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the mutation of the pathogen can be reversed by healing magic, and it can be rendered harmless.

At the same time, we can kill two birds with one stone by curing the person who is suffering from the disease. However, I don't intend to do this kind of rough trick so many times.

"Then get in, Elsa. Reiko, let's go!

Yes?

Yes.

Pegasus 1 with Jin, Erza, and Reiko aboard takes off into the morning sky. Pegasus 1 also has a stealth system in place so that it can't be seen from below.

"Let's start with Rakham.

The destination is Rakham, Count Walter's temporary base and probably the town where the pathogen was first released.

"...... Jin is still amazing. I can't believe he can fly so freely in the sky."

Erza, who was excited to see the view from the sky for the second time, said such a line, but Jin laughed it off this time.

The old man summarized the information from the fifth column (Quinta) scattered in various places and found that the most serious patients were in Rakham, followed by the towns of Thor and Charles.

"The magic of genesung (cure) works to reverse anomalies. In other words, healthy people feel nothing.

Jin mutters to himself. Erza, who was listening to him, was impressed.

I have never intentionally applied genesing to healthy people, but there must be many cases where healthy people are included in the range of healing magic.

Nevertheless, only injured or sick people are healed.

"I think Brother Jin's insight is correct.

Erza told Jin the same thing, and he brought Pegasus 1 to a halt above Rakham.

Then, with a serious look on his face, he activates the treatment device (treatment mentor).
