If they continue at 100 kilometers per hour, they will reach the clan territory of Morira in the morning.
"...... Jin's technological prowess is bullshit."
Zion muttered, half in amazement, half in awe.

As we traveled south to this area, the snowfall was mild and the snowpack was small, due to the fact that we were on the sea coast.
"Ah, you're back."
Today is February 4, the last day of January, so it has been four days.

"It feels like I've been gone for a long time. ......
This is a line from Zion. It was a short but dense and eventful four days.
"Welcome home, Zion, and we are glad to see you back safe and sound, Master Jin.

Istaris, Zion's sister, came out to greet him.
"Jin-sama, we are happy for your safe return," she said.
And Radeous, Sion's father, also came out to greet them.

The day after tomorrow, February 5th, was the day for Jin and his family to return to Horai Island.
"Jin, please come back again. ......"

"Jin-sama, Erza-sama, Saki-sama, take care."
Bardius and Radeous wished Jin and the others well and sent them off.
"Thank you for your hospitality."

The Capricorn 1 leaves the clans of the forest and begins to move.
A flurry of falling snow closed off the view.
"Ah, so many things have happened..."

"Yeah, it's been a lot of fun. I learned a lot. Thank you, Jin."
Saki leaned back in her seat with a satisfied look on her face.
"...... I thought that Jin was going to bring Mr. Zion with him."

To Erza's question, Jin answered in a straightforward manner.
"Ah, but you know, the concentration of free magical element (ether) in the upper part of the ground is not very high in Horai Island, let alone in the underground.
"Oh, really?

"Oh, is that so? So, it will be a little uncomfortable for Zion and the others as it is now.
"...... agree."
Even though Horai Island is a singularity of free magical element (ether), the concentration of free magical element (ether) in the upper part of the land is not so different from that of Klein Kingdom and Egelea Kingdom.

On average, it is less than half that of the demon territory. Then, for Zion and his people, it would be like an ordinary person living at the top of Mt.
Although there is a difference in oxygen and free magical element (ether), it is not likely to be very comfortable.
It is not a good idea to take them to a place where the concentration of free magic element (ether) is low all at once with a transfer device, even if they are slowly acclimating their bodies as Zion and his group did when they came here before, and move south.

"Well, it's about time.
Now that we were far enough away from the clan territory of Morura that we could no longer see it, it was time to use the transporter.
Lando 1, let's go home.

Copy that.
The transporter is activated. The view switches instantly. In a flash, Capricorn 1 is in the plaza in front of the research center on Horai Island. It is completely white with frost. Next, it melted and dripped down as drops of water.
"Wow, I've heard about this, but the transporter is really amazing, isn't it? What was a winter landscape has turned into spring in no time at all.

Saki's voice sounded impressed.
"Come on, let's go down and relax."
"......... you always want to study the materials right away..."

Erza retorted to Jin's call.
"You know what to do, Elsa. That's what I'm talking about, ma'am.
"Well, I'm not your wife yet."

Erza responded to Saki's joke with a straight face, turning bright red. In addition, she almost stepped off the ramp.
"Oops."
"Oops!"

She almost fell down, but Jin quickly steadied her and saved her from a serious accident.
Even though he was only 50 centimeters off the ground, Saki said to him teasingly, "You're good, aren't you?
"You're good, Jin. You're a good husband."

"...... Saki."
Jin blushed and glared at Saki.
"Ha-ha-ha, I hope you think I'm just being jealous of a single person. Come on, let's go research new materials!

Saki disappeared into the laboratory, still cheerful and jovial.

"Reinhardt is devoted to Berche, you know."
"And then he showed us how close your father and Erza are.

Even Reiko, who was standing nearby, said something like that.
The old man called out to him, and Jin, who had been embarrassed, changed his mind.

The first step is tanning the shell of the ancient dragon.
Since the tanning process is different from that of ordinary tanning, Jin explains the process to Erza as he goes along. Saki observes the tanning process completely.
The first step is cleaning. This is done for most hides.

At this point, the workshop can no longer accommodate them, so they work on the roof of the institute.
"This is the most important work. We sort and cut out the good ones and the bad ones for use as ...... material."
Because it is a natural material, it is not homogeneous, with scratches and differences in thickness.

So we have to trim them to make them as homogeneous as possible.
The back part is the hardest and the belly part is the softest. The legs are thicker and the tail is uneven.
The whole fish's characteristics are assessed, and it is also decided at what part of the fish to cut off. This is a process that requires good eyesight.

"Hmm, it's difficult. The head part is hard and thick. It looks hard to use."
Elsa also looks with her own eyes and says what she thinks.
"Yes, that's true. Then let's cut it off at this point. ...... Reiko, hold her down."

Yes, father.
Reiko is in charge of emergency repairs, but she can support this level of work well enough.

So, Jin, Reiko, Elsa, and Smith cooperated with each other, and the work was completed in about an hour.

Since the three-dimensional shells are cut as flat as possible, it is inevitable that some scraps of half-formed fabric will be left behind.
However, such scraps can be used for making accessories or for Saki's research, so they will not go to waste.
"Jin, are you sure I can use these scraps?

"Yes, you are free to use it."
Since it was the shell of an ancient dragon that was over 40 meters long, he had obtained a considerable amount of material.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it!"

With a large amount of scraps in hand, Saki went to her laboratory.
Jin thought that she was probably going to do some research with the old man's advice, but she just put them down and came back. She seemed to be curious about what Jin was going to do.
Jin heads for the workshop with Reiko, who has a large amount of materials in her hands. Elsa and Saki follow. The three Smiths carried what they could not carry.

Jin was full of enthusiasm. Saki and Elsa watch with bated breath.
Reiko's body surface area is a little more than one square meter. The shell of an ancient dragon was about a thousand times that size.
