The last day of October, the 30th.
Jin was about to further strengthen the defense of Horai Island.
"It's a barrier that can be put up in the ground.

There is no hurry to attack from our side.
We are almost certain that their ultimate goal is Jin, so we have decided that it is urgent to strengthen our defense.

Jin was somewhat averse to the idea, but he reminded himself that he could not be so naive when it came down to it.

"So, Jin, how is the practical application of the barrier going?
Erza asked. In case you are wondering, Zion and Marikka are taking it easy in the village of Kaina.
"Father, the experiment is ready.

"Oh, thank you, Reiko. ...... Elsa, we're going to start the experiment now."
Jin explains what he is thinking.
"The principle of the barrier is a web of free magical elements, right?

"Yes."
"Free magic element (ether) is much smaller than atoms and molecules, so it can be built even in a solid body."
"Oh, ...... sure."

Jin's explanation continues.
"There's a reason why we haven't been able to do this before."
"Father, what is it?"

Reiko didn't know this either. She had been assisting Jin as his assistant for a long time, but there were things she did not know.
"The strength of the mana required to construct the warding is different in the air and in the ground. If the strength is based on the air, of course the underground is excluded."
"......" The reason makes sense. Then, why not use the underground as the standard?"

"Yes, that's the point."
Jin agreed with Elsa's idea.
"That's what I was experimenting with."

"It took more than a million times the strength of mana, but the wards were formed properly.
Reiko reported the results.
"If the strength of mana in gas is 1, the strength of mana in water is 1,000, and in solid is about 100,000,000, which is an order of magnitude higher. It is said that it eats an order of magnitude more mana than 1,000 in water and 100,000 in solid.

Jin speculated that the free magic element (ether) contained in the solid was probably interfering with the process.
"The consumption of free magic element (ether) is ridiculous at this rate."
"Indeed."

The next question is how to improve the efficiency.
Still, since it is possible to set up wards around the old man with the current technology, Jin has decided to set up the wards as a temporary security measure.

In the early morning of the same day, a mysterious flying object flew over Leusert, the capital of the Shoro Empire.

A hot-air balloon squadron on patrol was the first to spot it.
It is a circular object like a dish, with a diameter of less than 10 meters.

The speed of the object is so fast that it disappears from sight in a matter of seconds.
The object was barely visible as it dropped something into Lake Tosmo.
A few minutes later.

We're going to crash-land!
The hot-air balloon, by its very nature, could not crash all at once, so the occupants were spared serious injury.
However, this was not the end of the story.
