Since the tentative agreement was signed on the first day, the next day was completely informal.

Jin made a proposal.

"I would like to go to Yato Lake.

Of course, in a .

"We have enough crew to accommodate up to five people.

I told him,

"I'd love to go with you!"

said the first to speak was Prince Gaspar de Mimaka.

So he was accompanied by his vizier, Moiz Myas Lodi, his minister of administration, Ryuji Ef Katski, his diplomat, Yahal Soumi, and his secretary and lady-in-waiting, Sheena Sumya.

"Come in, come in."

"Yes, thank you."

The eleven year old king was smiling as he was trying to look as dignified as he could.

Sina Sumia rides in close behind him.

Then the Prime Minister, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the diplomat .......

After that comes the .

Theobald Theodoric von Grainne, the ambassador, Tein Miyabe, Ilmina Ratkin, Gaju Tsuga, and Manon.

Manon boarded, and finally Jin and Reiko boarded.

The pilot, Hope, shows them to their seats.

Please take your seats. We are about to depart.

Hope announced and started the engine.

A faint vibration is felt in the cabin, and the intake and exhaust sounds of the blow engine are heard.

After a moment of shaking, the <> soared into the air.

It continued to soar.

"Wow, it's fast!

Lord King looked out of the window and exclaimed loudly.

"The <> is a , so it can rise at such high speed.

Jin explains.

"I see. ......!　Jin-dono, how fast can it go?"

The Prime Minister asks. Jin explains honestly.

"The maximum speed is 800 kilometers per hour. However, since we have to push him very hard, he usually reaches a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour.

These values are no secret.

"800 km ....... That's a hell of a speed. You are indeed a Magecraft Meister.

The Prime Minister seemed impressed by the value.

"Then, let's open the floor windows!"

Jin instructed Hope to open the cabin floor window.

"Kyaaaah!"

screamed Sheena Sumia, the king's lady-in-waiting.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

The king was calming Sheena down.

"You see, the glass is in place!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty. ...... I'm sorry, I'm a bit distracted."

I thought Sheena didn't like heights.

...... I'm so embarrassed.

I'm so embarrassed. It's okay, it's okay. Everyone has something they're not good at.

The king patted Sheena's crouched head.

There was the image of a nineteen-year-old being soothed by an eleven-year-old.

So Jin decided to close the floor window halfway.

"I'm sorry, Jin-sama.

Sheena apologized to Jin.

"No, it's true that this view may be scary if you are not used to it.

Tokyo Tower and Skytree also have such windows, but it seems ...... to be quite scary when you stand there for the first time.

Still, once you get used to it, the pleasure of looking down at the earth's surface from directly above prevails.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen the land from above, but I didn't know it looked like this ......There's not much arable land ......."

The language is completely that of a boy, but he sees what he needs to see.

"Hmm,...... is it the coastal area and the area around the city roads that is green?"

As the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications was making this analysis, Ilmina Ratkin spoke to him.

"Mister Katzki, the road is a bit lower than the surrounding area, with less undulation, isn't it?"

"What?　I see. You are right, Illumina Ratkin.

"It is a very gentle valley, isn't it?"

This was the same speculation made by the < a little while ago.

"I see, it seems so," he said.

"Perhaps there is some kind of a water vein running south from Lake Yato?"

This is a very perceptive observation by Ilmina Ratkin. Jin was inwardly impressed with Marikka's student.

"Ah, I see. ......"

Ryuji, you are always impressed.

When I was saying all these things, the king made fun of me. That's just like his age.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

But, Your Majesty, it is not every day that we get a chance to see the land from the sky like this.

<.

* * * *

After a half hour's walk in the air, the <> reached the sky over Lake Yato.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there was no conflict with the ships of the Principality of Norway that day.

Jin did not intend to do anything here, so I will not mention it.

However, the reason for taking the kings out and the fact that he wanted Gaju Tugga and the others to see the reality of this country led to this walk in the sky.

"Hmmm.........As I look at our country from the sky, I have a feeling that what Mr. Ratkin just said is correct."

Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Ryuji Ev-Katki seemed to have made that judgment after taking a look at the overall topography.

"Let's go east for a while, just for the sake of it. Hope, please.

"Yes, Master."

Jin ordered Hope to point the hurricane in the direction of the mountain range to the east.

This is an area of no nationality, a sort of no man's land.

About 120 kilometers east of Lake Yateau, we come to a large mountain range that cuts diagonally across the western part of the Laurentian continent.

The mountain range is cut off near , but it is undoubtedly a factor that separates the western part of the Laurentian Continent from the rest of the country.

The western slopes of the mountain range are green, indicating that there is no lack of water.

The highest peak of the mountain range rises near the Tropic of Cancer.

(Does the Principality of Jags want that mountain?　What on earth for?)

Gaju Tugga asked himself this question in his mind, but not in his words.

Gaju Tugas did not say it out loud, but only in his mind, because the mountain did not seem to be particularly unusual, except for its high altitude.

I did not see anything unusual about the mountain, except for its high altitude.

After a two-hour scenic flight, the <> returned to the capital city of Quonare.

As soon as it landed and stepped on the ground,

"Mister Jin, we cannot thank you enough for taking us on this journey."

Prime Minister Moiz Myas Rodai bowed deeply.

"No, really, it has been an eye-opener."

The Minister of Public Management, Luigi Ev Kaczki, also bowed his head.

And then the king, Gaspar de Mimaka, also bowed,

"Magecraft Meister Jin, I will remember this day for the rest of my life.

And he bowed his head.
