"Over 200 kilometers ....... That's quite a distance."

However, if it's just the distance, it's possible to get there with a car.

"Brother Jin, are you going?"

Erza asks, looking at Jin's face after returning to the room.

"Yeah, I was just wondering what I should do..."

It has been almost three weeks since the trip began. By now, the data on the spaceships in Horai Island should be available.

On the other hand, I feel that we are getting closer to the mystery of Magus.

Should we go to Dachte or to Mount Funisys? Although it is just a hunch, Jin has a feeling that there is something in Mount Funisys.

"Kuhu, your face looks like you can't wait to go there.

Saki also noticed this and said something like that.

"If you want to go, I'll go with you anywhere.

Hannah said so too.

"Okay, let's go. ......

The terrain should be relatively gentle, with grasslands, bushes, and small forests.

Once that is determined, it is a matter of time. Jin told Fadon that he would set off for Mount Funisys.

"I see, to Mount Funisys. ......

"Yes. We have food and water, and we can get there in two days by car.

In fact, the distance is not much different from Inno to Ulun, depending more on the conditions of the ground than on the road .......

"I'm sorry to see you go, but in that case I can't force you to stay."

Fadon looked disappointed, but Jin couldn't help but look for any clues he could find.

"...... understands. So, you are leaving today?"

"Yes, hopefully."

"...... soon?"

Yes, I've already packed my bags.

"...... you have some preparations to do, why don't you do it tomorrow?"

No, I have everything I need.

...... there is no way.

"I know. I know. I've managed in the past and I will continue to manage in the future.

"......"

Hwadong, realizing that nothing he could say would likely change Jin's mind, sighed heavily.

"I see. I'm sorry to leave you, but ......"

Hwadong must have meant what he said when he said < twice.

Meanwhile, as Erza and the others were packing their baggage, Goose arrived.

"Hey, will you take me with you?"

"Hey, will you take me with you? Hey, will you take me with you?

Saki looked up and answered.

"Yes. I'm interested in unknown places, and you guys are going back to your country, right?"

"Well, I won't know for sure until I check with Jin, but that's probably what we'll do, isn't it?"

"Well, I'd have to check with Jin, but I'm sure that's the plan. I want to see the land ...... where my father was born and raised!"

Then Jin came back. And he said.

"Okay."

Goose was surprised at Jin's easy acceptance.

"Are you sure about ......?"

"Yes. I can rely on Goose's knowledge.

"...... is that okay?"

For the second time <<< are you sure? >>is what he says to Saki, Erza, and the others.

"Yes, I don't mind if you do, Jin. Besides, Goose knows his stuff."

Saki was the first to affirm,

"Hmmm... If Jin says so."

Erza immediately nodded.

"Are you coming too, Uncle? It's going to be lively.

Hannah nodded with a look that said there was nothing wrong with that.

"Thank you, everyone!

Guth bowed to all of them.

At 9:00 a.m., Jin and the others are getting ready and greeting Hwadong.

"Thank you very much for your help. Thank you very much for your help and valuable information.

When Jin thanked Hwa-dong for his hospitality,

No problem. I am also grateful to you for fixing my wristwatch," Hwadong replies.

Hwadon replies.

"Take care, everyone."

Fadong's wife, Phrede, also looks sad to see him go.

But it was his granddaughter Nalie who looked the most regretful. She hugged Goose with tears in her eyes.

"Nalie, I'll be back. Don't look at me like that."

Goose stroked Nalie's head with a troubled look on his face.

"Guth, take care of yourself. Don't give Nidou-sama any trouble.

Yes, I'm off."

And off they went.

"...... Hey Goose, what's your position?"

Saki asks in the car. He felt that Goose was somehow floating in the town of Nadé, which he called home.

"What? Why?"

"No, why, I mean, ...... sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?"

Goose looked at Saki suspiciously as she suddenly apologized.

"I feel like I asked you something I shouldn't have asked you?

"Haha, no, I don't think so. It's just, I'm kind of in the middle of things. ......

Halfway?

"Halfway?" "Yeah. Somehow I don't fit in ...... with the town of Nadé, or should I say, the country of Fusor."

Guth let out a self-mocking laugh.

"As I told you, my mother is from Fusor, but my father is from the same country as yours. Maybe that's why I don't fit in in Fuso.

"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for asking such a strange question.

Saki panicked. He had not expected to hear such a personal story from Goose.

"No, it's okay. It's a good opportunity. ...... Hey, Jin."

"...... what's up?"

In the cramped car, Jin had heard everything that had been said.

"Would your country accept someone like me?"

"What? That's not exile ......, is it naturalization ......? Do you mean naturalization?

"Yes, that's what it would be.

"No problem, I guess."

Elsa answered Guth's question.

"In the Shoro Kingdom, talented people are always welcome. Mr. Goose, I am sure of it.

"I see. ...... but does that mean that you will have to make a certain amount of achievements after becoming a naturalized citizen?"

"That's ...... not so much."

Elsa doesn't know that much either, so she hesitates to say.

"I think it will be fine. More or less, a citizen has to do his duty, and I think Goose can do it with ease.

It would be enough to study what you like and report the results, Jin said.

"What you like, huh? I'm a naturalist, you know.

"Then you should classify and systematically divide the plants, animals, minerals, and such of this continent.

This is Saki.

"My father is working on such a project, but it doesn't seem to be going very well.

"Oh, I see. Oh, Mr. Toa, is it? I remember my father told me about it too. You're an alchemist, aren't you?"

Goose's father, Mark, like Saki's father, Tor, was interested in and collected various materials.

He wandered around the Hariri Desert and ended up at the edge of Huso.

"Yes, that's right. I'm ashamed to say that we seem to be behind you in the <> department.

We are behind in that the study equivalent to science is called .

This is a reaction to the development of magic.

"I see. Then, even a half-wit like me might be able to be of some use.

"You're not just half a man, you're on the front lines. I can assure you of that.

"Ha, thank you, Mister Saki."

Goose smiled brightly.
