Magi Craft Meister

"Oh, this is comfortable"

"Mm, wow. It's fast and it won't shake."

Fine-tuned by several test flights, Jen, Elsa and Reiko were on 'Conlon 2' and enjoying an aerial walk.

"... convincing if this performance. But I wanted you to tell me something."

Elsa said she had a little grudge. I guess it's complicated as the inventory management side.

"Sorry, I really wanted to make it."

"Already... that's what Brother Jin is like, so I can't help it"

When Jen apologized, Elsa laughed and forgave.

"Father, would you like to give me the highest speed?

I decided I had taken enough altitude, and Reiko in the cockpit asked.

"Okay, please"

Jen and Elsa strained the barrier and sat near the emergency escape transfer gate (warp gate).

"Okay, let's go."

Tighten the wind avoidance junction and produce the maximum output of the injectable thrusters (jet thrusters).

Gun, there was an acceleration. If you look out the window, a chisel cloud flows backwards.

"Approximately 140 kilometers an hour."

The old man contacted me. The velocity is the ground speed based on the island of Penglai.

"Is this the limit for a jet thruster? Reiko, it's the Force Generator."

"Yes."

Now the acceleration is extinguished. Power is working evenly on all the molecules of the ship and its crew.

"Approximately 220 km/h"

"Oh, you did it!

It turned out to be about 10% faster than assumed, and Jen smiled happily.

"Brother Jin, wow"

"Father, you did it."

Elsa and Reiko also celebrated.

And then we jump around relaxed, to the west. Under my eyes, I could see the island.

"Okay, it's a landing."

"Yes."

Using the force field generator Force Generator, Reiko slowly descends.

"Conlon 2" landed in the square in front of the Hall.

"I don't know, it's been a while"

Down from the airship, Elsa shrugged emotionally when she saw the 'Hall'.

"I first came from Blueland, was. At that time, Brother Rai and Beana were together."

"Oh, you did"

That was, for sure, March 1st last year, Jen recalled.

It is now January 23rd, nearly a year has passed.

"It seemed like a long time, and don't even feel like it's going to be for a while"

Elsa had also heard the whining.

"Mm-hmm. Really. I met Brother Jin on February 9th. It's been almost a year."

"Oh yeah?

"Mm-hmm. It's a potlock, there's a golem boat competition..."

"Oh, you did. I feel like a long time ago."

"Me too."

The two of them, who had been through so thick a day that it could be described as an anomaly, had been delayed (fumbled) by their respective thoughts for some time.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Edgar?

In the meantime, Jen noticed that she couldn't see Elsa's automatic doll (Automata), Edgar.

"Mmm... your mother's not feeling very well, so I left her to take care of herself, and I did"

"Right. When you're free, you should just go."

"Mmm, thank you."

"Master (My Lord), is it time?

I'm surprised Jen and I haven't said anything in forever. The old man has spoken up.

"Ah, oh. I'm sorry. That's enough. Is something wrong?

"Yes, there was a report earlier that the first friendly advance party from the Empire of Shouro to the Mitsuho Nation is well under way."

"Oh, yeah?"

From what I hear, the advance party that left Loizato on January 12 arrived in the town of Ismal on the 16th of the same month.

Cali settlement on the 17th, and they arrived in the town of Seki on the 18th.

And they say negotiations have begun in the town of Seki.

After three days of negotiations, the advance party was allowed to pass through the town of Seki.

"Today, that means we arrived in Miyako on January 23rd."

"That's good news."

Although the old man's manipulation of 'John Diney' had shown that the inhabitants of the Mitsuho Nation were not belligerent, I am glad to hear that attempts to open national traffic are well under way.

'Yes, and similarly, a line of investigation teams from the Kingdom of Klein has arrived in Asunt, the capital of the Kingdom of Egerea'

"This one's almost on schedule, too."

"Yes, except for one thing about Mr. Gloria"

"You did."

It was baked from face to right arm with a corrosive liquid very similar to sulfuric acid, and was transported to a healing hospital by a hot air balloon.

"My life has nothing to do with it."

"That's the only salvation..."

He doesn't have a good prognosis for marks that have been exposed to corrosive fluids.

"For a woman, it's hard to be burned in the face"

Elsa shrugged worried, too.

"Oh. When you get a chance, Elsa, check him out."

"Yes, of course."

For Elsa, too, she cared about Gloria, although she was less than friends than she knew.

"My Lord, I have some good news for you at the end."

"Oh? What?

The old man is deliberately good news. [M] Both Jen and Elsa flashed their ears at expectations.

"Paper and glutinous rice found"

"What!

He said two seemingly unrelated were found at about the same time.

"John Diney was heading south down the street for the seaside town of 'Tosa'. I found those two in the process."

Jen urged a detailed explanation.

'Paper is not western paper. It's close to Japanese paper. After boiling the wooden skins in ash juice, beat them to loosen the fibres and mix them with the juice picked from the grass'

It is a huge miscellaneous explanation, but it is precisely the Japanese paper method.

"This too seems to be the method conveyed by Sage (Mags). We also got information about the grass that picks the juice, and we're investigating it now. '

"Hmm......"

I'm very curious about who Sage (Mags) is and what he knew.

But that's, uh, later. It's not something you can tell in a hurry. We need to gather information carefully.

"Glutinous rice is only a little, less than a grab, but we've got the seed, and within a year we'll be able to harvest enough to eat it."

A second or third period is possible in Penglai. If all the harvests in the first period were to be seeded, a small amount of glutinous rice would be obtained in the second and third periods.

'There was a place where I was making miso, soy sauce and liquor, and I was only allowed to visit. Now that we know the procedure, we should be able to make it in Penglai.'

I got the yeast only slightly but at the same time, so I wanted you to expect me, old man said to Jen.

"Well, it's getting harder and harder to grasp the figure of Magus."

'Yes, through paper making, brewing, bonito...'

"... someone from Tosa?

Jen remembered what he had read in the manga.

"Tosa Japanese paper and bonito...... Brewing is if you have a little knowledge of chemistry…"

Still no figure comes to mind.

"I don't have a choice."

That's on hold, and Jen thinks about bringing new industries to Penglai.

"Paper should be spread to small groups of countries via the Empire of Shouro in trade, so it's good to be self-sufficient in Penglai. That's as good as any other product."

"Okay."

Old man intends to follow Jen's instructions, but the self-sufficiency level in Penglai is… extrapolated.

"Well, let's start by visiting countries to unveil this new airship"

The point is, let's go around and let them know that Jen's ride has turned into this. Because I can't wait to be suspicious at times of need.

"Can we start with the village of Kaina, the kingdom of Klein, the kingdom of Egerea, the kingdom of Elias, the empire of Shouro... Elsa's with us, of course."

"Mm, I'll give it to you."

Thus begins the unveiling of the new airship Conlon 2.
