"Welcome, His Majesty the Duke of Jags."

<, Hito ...... and his greeted the group from the Principality of Jagus.

Next to Jin D is Reiko. And the crew of 20, from <201 to 220, were lined up. They were lined up in a row.

"Mm-hmm, you are the Magecraft Meister?"

"Yes. I am the ......3th Magecraft Meister. My name is Jin Nido.

Jin D. and the Duke of Jagus shook hands. Jin D. and Buena Haiti, Minister of War, followed.

Jin D was about to shake the hand of Rokou Bee Shiharou.

"Jin?　...... just remembered!　You are Jin who escaped with Rhodes!"

Jin D. laughed at Rokoh Bee Shiharo's angry glare.

"That happened once, didn't it? Thank you for your help that time. I don't mind it myself, so there's no need to apologize.

He said this as if he were saying it out loud.

In fact, it is the old man who is now in control of Jin D. That is why he can take this attitude.

If it were Jin D himself, he would be a little more emotional.

"Roco, do you know Jin D-dono?"

Military Affairs Minister Buena Haiti asked.

"Uh, yes. This is the man who escaped from the institute before ......."

I was about to say that when the wind started blowing.

"......?"

"He's leaving. I don't have time for this now."

Jin D tells him.

"We need to go after the ship of the New Magic League (Neo Magus).

"......mmm."

The Duke of Jagusu replied.

"You have a good point, Jin-dono. ......Rokou, there may be many reasons, but that can wait."

".................. ha!"

Rokoh Bee Shikharoh bit his lip in frustration at being told off by the king.

"Well."

Jin D held out his hand to the last remaining member of the Duchy of Jags.

"My name is Technical Officer Lore Temp.

With that, he greeted everyone. Jin D then introduced a member of his side.

This is Reiko, my attendant, an automata. The ship's crew are all members of the Golem< series.

"Uh-huh."

A little overwhelmed, the Prince nodded his head, maintaining his dignity as best he could.

"And first of all," he said, "I must tell you that this fleet is a deus ex machina. This fleet is a deus ex machina. I am a guest general or a technical assistant ......."

Here Jin D explained that the armed forces belonged to Machina.

The machina should be arriving soon. I will introduce him to you when he does.

Thus, Jin D showed his friendship with Makina and clearly declared that the military power belonged to Makina.

* * * *

"Now, please come this way.

Jin D took the lead and headed for the bridge.

The bridge of the was designed for Jin and his crew to board. This was partly a hobby of Jin's.

The bridge was accessed by an elevator rather than stairs, so that even the Duke of Jags was able to ascend without losing his breath.

"Oh!"

The bridge of the 250-meter class battleship < is about 70 meters above the sea level, so the view is excellent.

Even more than that, the appearance of the bridge, built with Jin's knowledge and skill, was enough to astonish the people of the Principality of Jagus.

"The captain is .

Incidentally, the first digit of the number is for generals, the first half of the second digit for colonels, the second half for lieutenants, and the third digit for petty officers and soldiers.

"Well, please have a seat."

Jin D seated us all at a table in the center of the bridge.

Only the one for the Duke of Jagus was specially ...... made (width, size, load-bearing capacity), or rather, made in a hurry.

"Marine 5, where is the ship of <>?"

Jin D. asked first.

"Yes. Northwest, about 15 kilometers away.

"All right, let's move forward as fast as we can. Let's catch up first.

"Yes, sir."

After giving the necessary instructions, Jin D turned to the people of the Duchy of Jaguar.

And then..,

"The owner, <, will be here later, so please wait until then to discuss the new magical federation (Neo Magus)," he says.

He tells them.

"Yes, I will."

The Prince nodded.

Then he looked around the bridge and let out a voice of admiration.

"......Mmmm, I wonder if this ship will be able to overwhelm even the . ......"

Prince Niestor Kyrillo Jagus of the Principality of Jagus had become quite well-informed through his conversations with <> and <>. However, this is only at the level of <> and not with actual experience.

Therefore, the Lord King who now rides this is curious about everything he sees.

"It will be a few minutes before Makina arrives. Until then, I'm sorry, but let's spend the time chatting. Well, have a drink.

puts a glass of Persica juice on the table and steps back.

Jin D. drinks it first. The fact that Jin-D is a doppelganger does not guarantee the safety of the drink, but the people of the Duchy of Jagus don't know that.

Technical officer Rohr Temp, who is accompanying him as an escort, takes a sip first.

"......No, this is delicious."

It is the Persica juice made in Horai Island. 9999 out of 10,000 people would say it is delicious.

Seeing this, Lord King Niestor Kyrillo Jagus drinks Persica juice.

"Mmm, it's good!"

Rokow b. Cihalo and the Minister of War, Buena Haiti, also drank and tasted it.

"Now that you've quenched your thirst, do you have any questions?

At this point, of course, Rokow Bee Shiharo opened his mouth.

"Jin...... no, Jin-dono, why did you ...... not tell us about your situation at that time? Otherwise, I cannot trust you.

That is a fair point. He was forced to leave the country when we tried to treat him as a researcher in his own country.

Ignoring the background of his being under house arrest, or being brought to Japan as if he had been kidnapped, etc.

"Yes. ...... First of all, at that time, I was sent to the continent of Pandor due to a failed experiment, and my memory was temporarily clouded. Then I met with Rhodoth, who knew me, and I escaped your country to be cured by someone in his country."

"What is his country ......?"

"The Nordic Federation on the continent of Gondor."

This explanation was given by Jin D. under the control of the old man. He is better suited for this kind of talk.

"...... So, what is this you're talking about?"

"It's a transference magic circle."

"I see."

Transference is still an enigmatic field. Rokoh Bee Shiharo could not ask any more technical questions.

"Well then, Mister Jin, can you tell us as much as you can about this ship?"

This was the Minister of Military Affairs, Buena Haiti.

"Yes, I can. This is the battleship Hotaka. 250 meters long, 30,000 tons displacement. Maximum speed is 100 kilometers per hour. The crew are all golems.

"What a tremendous ......"

I won't discuss armament or propulsion systems, as those are classified military secrets.

Jin D. said, and Niestor Cirillo Jagus, the Duke of Jagus, opened his mouth.

"...... why are you assisting our country?"
