"Jin, you may be fine with it, but what about Erza?"

They are due to be married soon.

"Yeah, so I thought it would be a good idea for a ."

"What? ......"

Reinhardt is a little taken aback.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. "Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not planning on going to the entire southern hemisphere at the drop of a hat. I just thought it would be nice to take a leisurely cruise on a big ship."

"...... Sure, that makes sense."

Reinhardt was a little relieved to hear that.

"With the <> thing, it would be a month at the most if we went. So, let's say ...... until just before the Tropic of Cancer, right?"

The old man is very attentive and projects the map on the magic screen on the wall.

"Look, there are several islands southwest of Potrock, aren't there?"

"Yes, there are.

"There are small islands scattered along the equator, and to the south of them, there are islands as big as Kunlun and Penglai, right?　I thought it would be fun to visit those islands.

"I'd love to go there!"

Marcia was the first to respond.

I can't go there with my boat. But you can go there with the boat you built, right?

"I wish I could go there, too."

"Yeah, me too."

Saki and Toa seemed to be interested in going too.

"Actually, we know that there is a perfectly safe supply of free magical element (ether) up to the equator. So I don't think there is much danger.

Jin explains about safety.

"We can avoid more danger if we have a fleet of several boats.

Above all, Jin thinks that cruising on a large ship is the best way to spend the honeymoon.

"The wedding is on the 11th, so I'd like to leave after that after visiting various countries. ......"

Jin then looked at Erza.

Erza understood the meaning of his gaze and nodded.

"If that's what you want to do,...... Jin, that's fine with me too."

"You say that too, Erza."

Bina mixed in from the side.

"But it seems safe enough, doesn't it? Of course you'll take all kinds of safety precautions, won't you?"

Reinhardt also stopped his difficult face and asked.

"Yes, of course. We will of course have lifeboats, Pegasus 1 on board, and warp gates. I'll also take an aqua unit and a mermaid unit as escorts."

"The <> will be watching over your father and the others."

Hearing this, Reinhardt asks one last question.

"What do you have in mind for the reserve energy?"

"I'm thinking of loading a large amount of magi crystals as mana tanks and adding a magi reactor so that we can manage even if the free magical element (ether) becomes scarce.

"Well, if we do that, I think we'll be fine. ...... I'd like to go there too.

Reinhardt looks a little disappointed.

"Then you could use the warp gate and come back for a short visit when you get to the beautiful island or something. Of course, you and Bertsch can come along.

"I see, that's a good idea!"

"Oh, we'd like to visit ...... too."

Bina says in a voice that is at first brisk and at the end a little reserved.

"Yeah, sure. All the family can come.

But then someone interrupts.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Mr. Jin. It's your and Elsa's honeymoon, isn't it?"

It was Rodrigo.

"......You're right, but if we go on two boats, we'll be on one and you'll be on the other. ......"

"I see. So we'll be alone in the water."

Yes. Besides, it's more fun in the daytime when it's a little more lively.

Considering that even a cruising tour on a large cruise ship in the modern Earth would be with many guests, Jin thought that it would be much more enjoyable with the members of the Jin Family.

"Hmm, I see. I'd like to go to ......, too!"

Rodrigo, too, was curious about the man of the sea and uncharted waters.

"Well, then, let's consider going in that direction.

Jin declared to the assembled group.

"As you have heard. After the wedding, Erza and I will travel around to different countries for the reception, and then we will take a boat to the southern sea for our <>. It will probably be in late August. We will have a fleet of boats for safety reasons as well. If anyone wants to come, please let me know before then.

"Jin, I'm coming!

Marcia was the first to come forward.

"Me too."

Saki followed.

"I wish I could go."

This is Vivien.

"We're coming, too."

This is Toa and Stearina.

They seem to be the only ones who have been with us from the beginning.

"Me and Bertsche will be there on the spot.

Reinhardt said this. They come temporarily when they arrive on the island.

Bina and I, too.

Count and Countess Kuzma could not stay all the time, so they would join us from time to time.

"I'll stay on to take care of the store, but I'd like to go there once in a while," said Count and Countess Kuzma.

This is Rodrigo.

And.

"...... I'll stay."

It was Meine, who had remained in the corner, silent until now.

"Mother, will you go with me?"

Elsa invites her own mother, Meine, to join them.

"Elsa, isn't it strange for a mother to accompany a newlywed couple?

"Yes, but on a different ship."

Elsa was sad that her own mother, Meene, was always one step away from her.

"Meine, go with her."

Reinhardt also offers his advice.

"I wish you could come with us, not as a mother, but as a family.

Jin also expresses his honest feelings.

"Thank you, Jin-sama ...... and Reinhardt-sama ......."

Meane's eyes were slightly moist as she bowed.

"And then there's Goose and Hannah..."

"What?　Goose?"

Saki raised a crazy voice.

"Yeah. "Yeah. I think it would be a lot of fun if we invite Goose to join us."

"Yeah, I guess so."

Saki's face turned a little red.

"Do you know where he is now?"

"Yes, he came back to my house the day before yesterday.

Saki's voice sounded a little happy as she answered Jin's question.
