Running up the stairs out of breath was the Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Empire, Degas Furt von Manischlus.

An airship. Not surprising since they have hot-air balloons.
What do you want me to do?
Let's see what you can do with those three planes.

I guess that's good news in this case, but we still don't know what they are capable of.
"Perhaps it's remotely controlled, too."

I see.
Just as there are differences between the movements of a golem and a human, there will be differences in the operation of these vehicles as well.
But you persist. Are you still following me? ......<

"Brother Jin, are you sure you don't want to attack?"
"Yes. Yes, at this stage.

Jin nodded and gave an additional explanation.
"That's right. We want them to think we have no offensive capability or are too weak to do so, so we can take advantage of them."

How do we do that?
"First, we'll grab one of the planes and find out who's controlling it. I'm going to use that line to try to talk to them.

Jin could defend Horai Island and Kaina Village well enough, but he would not be able to cover all other areas.
