After all, flying is a human longing, isn't it?
"Well, we can't have everyone at once, so we'll have to draw lots.
It worked out well that I had the five-colored golem maids prepare a lottery box for such an eventuality.

Jin recalled how he and Hannah had once climbed a small mountain to gather wild vegetables.

Even Jin, who had seen such a view in photographs, was moved when he saw it for the first time with his own eyes.
And you can imagine the feelings of a child flying in the sky for the first time in his life.
"Come on, let's get settled and have a drink.

At 5:30 p.m., just as dusk was beginning to fall, the lights came on in the hall of Nido Castle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the three girls from Lalio Village have decided to return to their families back home. So today, we will have a farewell party for them as well as a consolation party before the wheat harvest.
The "consolation party before the wheat harvest" is a pretext so as not to make the girls feel self-conscious.

"We will be busy harvesting wheat soon. Please enjoy yourselves before that!"
In response to Jin's speech, there were cheers from all over the place. Jin, not liking to be rushed, decided to make his speech brief.
"Thank you all for your hard work every day. And to the girls of Lalio Village, thank you for all your hard work today.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Jin-sama says he'll take us to Lalio from time to time.
"That's right, if we ask Jin-sama, we'll see him again!"
It seems that today's scenic flight was also meant to let them know that future exchanges like this are possible, and the girls remained cheerful despite their loneliness, as if this was not their last goodbye.
