The shipyard is reached by a warp gate.
We came out in a corner of the dock.

"Wow, it's big!
Erza had never been here before and was surprised at the size of the shipyard.
"That's right, it's big enough to build a 250-meter battleship.

It is large enough to build one 250-meter battleship or aircraft carrier and two 100-meter cruisers at the same time. and two 100-meter cruisers at the same time.
"...... indeed."
After the launching ceremony and outfitting, the two ships will be put on a trial cruise.

"Hey, I want to go on board."
"What? ...... I would like to."
Jin was a little bit embarrassed by Erza's sudden offer, but he nodded his head, thinking that his feelings were justified.

I confirmed this with the manacam on my bracelet, and he replied immediately.
"Okay, let's go then."
"Yes."

Erza quickly grabbed onto Jin's right arm. So the two of them went up the ramp to

"Wow!"
Elsa exclaims in surprise again.
It's the first time I've set foot on a structure this large, except for a spaceship, so it's not surprising.

The deck, which is 100 meters long and 10 meters wide, must seem large to a newcomer.
Moreover, the foredeck is spacious because the main and secondary guns have been removed. There is no swimming pool, however.
"The wind feels good."

The front dock door is open and the wind is blowing in. At the same time, the blue ocean is visible, and I feel that this is where the ship belongs.
"Let's go to the bridge."
Due to the curvature of the planet, there is a place <

In this sense, all bridges are built high.
However, in the case of the Horaijima, since the ship can receive information from air power and satellites, it is avoided to make it higher than necessary to avoid lack of strength and stability.

"We have left some armament on board, though."
The cruiser is armed with a medium-caliber laser cannon and a 10-centimeter magic cannon (Magikanon).
Don't worry, the cruiser will come with us when we travel.

"Now let's take a look at the living space."
"Hmm."
I had made a general request, but the details were left to the old man and the craftsmen (smiths), so this was the first time Jin had seen it.

Now we go down the stairs to the lower floor.
The living space was on the same level as the deck.
Since the ship was originally a cruiser, it was not as spacious as a cruise ship, but including the additional space, there were several compartments about 20 meters long and 7 meters wide, divided into lounges, bedrooms, and so on.

"Hmm."
"Looks pretty comfortable."
The corridors are covered with oily, water-resistant teak wood, which can be polished to a nice shine.

The rooms are covered with carpets made of magi silk. The carpet is made of magi silk, which is too thin to be stable underfoot when the ship is rocking.
The sleeping quarters are beds, but for emergencies, they can be secured with safety belts.
"What about the mess hall?"

"Yes, let's take a look."
The dining room, of course, has a kitchen attached, but it is also equipped with two small warp gates so that food ingredients and cooked food can be sent from Horai Island.
"There's also a refrigerator and an ether stocker."

I opened them, but they were still empty, and it looked like they were about to be filled.
"Where is the water?"
"The plan is to fill the empty space with fresh water as ballast, as well as 10 water purifiers and 10 distillers. ...... looks like it's already loaded."

"That's a relief."
We also have at least three systems of communication and life-saving equipment, and as many as ten systems.
This is possible because they are not mechanical, but rather magical machines and tools that are less bulky and lighter in weight.

"The number of magick reactors was five at the beginning of the design, but has been increased to 20, and free magick condensers (ether capacitors) have also been prepared."
Free magic condensers (ether condensers) are devices that collect free magic elements (ether) existing in space and increase their concentration, and are even more effective when used in conjunction with the magic reactor (magi reactor).
"We have enough magi crystals for reserve energy to make three rounds of Ars.

Then I guess I'm safe.
We can't put Erza in danger.

"...... Thanks a lot."
Erza's cheeks were stained by Jin's line.

The two of them went down the stairs toward the bottom.
"There's another level down with almost the same facilities."
It is a reserve compartment. Normally closed, it is opened in case the upper compartment becomes unusable due to unforeseen circumstances.

Jin and Erza decided to cut off the tour, since looking around too much would disrupt the schedule of the test voyage.

It is late in the evening on Horai Island, and Jin and Erza are having zarusoba for lunch.
The wasabi that Saki had given them the other day came in handy.

The soba noodles were served with chopped leeks instead of spring onions and a little chopped nori (seaweed) to finish.
Jin prefers mori-soba, but Erza prefers zaru-soba, which adds the aroma of nori.

Jin, however, preferred morisoba when he was in modern Japan, partly because of the higher price of nori.
"Soba water is also delicious.
Erza liked to drink soba-tsuyu (buckwheat sauce) mixed with boiled water.

I'm sure His Majesty will notice.
I'm sure.
The emperor is a woman with a keen sense of perception, and if she were to see you face to face, she might realize that Jin and Erza have been replaced by a double.

Reinhard is not at the party. It's only been a week since the birth of Bertsche, and the emperor seems to have taken it easy on her.
