Anne has been reinforced and Jin has moved to Nido Castle.

Butler B told him that Istaris and the others seemed to be in much better condition.

Since there was no suspicious behavior, it was assumed that they were not lying in the slightest.

Jin knocked on the room and opened the door when he heard a response.

"Ah, Jin-sama!"

Istaris greeted Jin. He was looking much better.

Thanks to you, I feel much better.

Her once translucent white skin now showed signs of blood.

Her hair, which had been disheveled, was combed and hung down her back in a flowing style.

"My specialty is ," she said, "but this is free magic. But I couldn't use it here because of the low amount of free ether I have. However..."

Istaris pointed to a bottle of Persica juice specially made in Horaijima,

"Thanks to this drink, I can now use it.

She smiled. There was no evil in his smile, and Jin was a little surprised.

Upon closer inspection, Istaris is now wearing a yukata-like loungewear provided in the guest room. The collar was a little loose, revealing part of her ample breasts.

Jin averted his eyes and tried not to look at her.

"That's good. Is Netros all right too?"

"Yes, Netros is very sturdy, you know. You know?"

Netros, who didn't seem to talk much, nodded silently.

"Ah, Jin. Have you come to visit me?"

Then Zion and Lucas returned with fruit in their hands.

These are delicious!

It was Persica. He had brought a large amount of them from Horai Island, saying that they were nutritious and good for the sick.

I'm glad you like it. Are you guys feeling better now?

"Yes, thanks to you."

Jin asked when they would be leaving.

"Well,...... my sisters are feeling much better,...... but I'm sure they'll be fine tomorrow."

"Well, don't push yourself too hard. Well, we shouldn't push ourselves.

Yes, that's fine.

Yes, that's fine.

Jin left the guest room.

But the old man continued to keep an eye on the girls, making full use of the surveillance system installed in Nido Castle.

"Hey, Zion..."

"Yes?　Sister...

I'm really sorry. For using you as bait.

Don't worry about it, sister. I don't have a choice in the matter.

"But you know, I tricked you, my sister, into sneaking out and then we got caught. You were supposed to be ...... decoys, but you met Master Jin and he rescued you."

"That's enough. How many times have you told me that?

I'm sorry ......

You've always been like that. Let's see what happens. Now we can all go home together and you can help us.

That's all thanks to you.

Oh my God, not again. Stop talking about it. We're leaving tomorrow.

Yeah, I know. How are we going to get north?

Jin is a magecraft master. And he has a flying ship.

I heard that's true. But I hope the ...... extremists don't get in the way."

Yeah, that's possible. Why can't we understand each other?

"If we can't even get along with extremists, how can we expect to get along with humans?"

It's a sad thing, isn't it?

Hearing these conversations, the old man concluded that these women did not like to fight.

Then came the morning of August 12.

"Good morning, Istaris, Theon. Lucas and Netros too."

Good morning, Mr. Jin.

Good morning, Jin.

After an early breakfast, it is 6:00 a.m.

Jin (his double) comes with Reiko to pick up the four demons.

"Jin, how are you going to go to the north?"

Zion, who seemed to be curious, asked. Istaris and the others seemed to be the same, and their expressions showed that they were curious about Jin's answer.

"We have our feet on the riverbank.

The girls had no luggage of any kind. They were literally without clothes ......, and Istaris and Netros were in the clothes Jin had given them.

Therefore, I leave Nido Castle empty-handed.

Barrow and Behrle have been told in advance that they will not be coming out to see us off.

Just behind Nido Castle is the Erme River, and looms majestically over the broad riverbank.

"What is this ......?"

"What in the world, Jin-sama?　Does it walk because it has ......4 legs?　Does it walk because it has four legs?

"Oh, no way, something this big?"

Theon and Istaris exclaim in surprise. Meanwhile, Lucas and Netros look up at Capricorn 1 silently, seemingly overwhelmed.

"Capricorn 1, it's a ground vehicle I built. It can go on rough roads and snowy roads."

Jin gave the signal.

Then Capricorn 1 folded its legs, and the main body came down to the ground.

"Come on, get in."

Jin gets in first and beckons to her. Reiko quickly gets in as well.

"Let's go, Theon."

Istaris gets in first,

"Yes, sister."

Theon followed. Lucas hurriedly followed Theon.

Netros looked at Capricorn 1 with interest in silence, but when he realized that he was the only one left, he hurried to get on board.

"Okay, we're all on board."

The doors close and the legs stretch out.

"Whoa?"

Lucas, who had been looking out the window, shouted.

Lucas, who was looking out the window, shouted, "Let me introduce you. The golem Lando 1 is in charge of piloting, and Anne the automaton takes care of the day-to-day operations.

This is Lando 1.

My name is Anne, how do you do?

Lando 1 in the pilot's seat remains seated, while Anne stands up, bows deeply, and says her name and greeting each of them.

"...... Wow, you're the Magecraft Meister," she said.

Theon's expression showed that he was truly impressed. Istaris is staring out the window.

"Take a seat wherever you like.

The main body of Capricorn 1 is approximately 8 meters long and 6 meters wide. Two-thirds of the space was used as the cockpit and living quarters, and the remaining third was used as a kitchenette, toilet, shower room, and storage room.

"Okay, let's go!"

Capricorn 1 is moving slowly.

We headed upstream along the banks of the Herme River.

"It's not as bumpy as I thought it would be."

Istaris, who was sitting in the window seat and looking out, mutters to himself.

"Yes, it is. The center of gravity is controlled so that it does not move up and down.

This is the result of the many adjustments we made yesterday.

Based on the control system developed for the golem horse, the walking control thoroughly suppresses vertical movement, and the living quarters are floating and supported by active golem arms to reduce swaying.

This was a measure that Jin, who is prone to motion sickness, took to the best of his ability.

"Wait for me, everyone. ......"

Theon also stared at the northern sky and muttered to himself.
