The airport was as large as 500 meters square.

It was divided into four square sections, and tourists were supposed to use section D of the four.
Incidentally, the square airport is divided into four equal sections in the shape of a rice paddy, with the northeast section designated as A, the northwest section as B, the southwest section as C, and the southeast section as D.
A and B are dedicated airfields for official planes, which can be used by air corps and ambassadors of various countries, C is for private contractors (merchants, tourists, etc.), and D is for general passengers.

Jin filled out the forms, wondering if he would soon be required to register his fingerprints and magical patterns.
"Oh, you are from the Nordic Federation? From the North to the South, welcome!"
After submitting the paperwork, the administrator called out to him again in a friendly voice.

Here is your guide.
Finally, he handed me a booklet.

The cover of the booklet read "A Tourist Guide to Florence," and when I opened it, I found a list of inns, stores, and points of interest.
"It's very well thought out.
Jin thought to himself, "This is only the Kingdom of Elias, which knows well about tourist resources.

"No, or maybe it's just the province of Xaus.
He remembered that they had always been good at attracting tourists and appealing to them, starting with the Golem boat races in Potrock.
"This will come in handy."

Rhodes is also impressed with the tourist guide in his hand.
"First we have to find a place to stay, right?
"Yes, that's right."

The two decided to go to the nearest accommodation to the airport, which was indicated in the guide. It was only a 10-minute walk.
Reiko is walking beside Jin, and Hope with her baggage is walking behind them.
"The road is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes, they seem to be well cleaned."
The road leading from the airport is the one that tourists see, and it is important not to make a bad impression.
Florenz seems to have put a lot of effort into such a point.

The inn was a magnificent three-story stone building. Nevertheless, it did not seem too expensive.
"Is this the Amber Pavilion?

Well, let's go in.
At what appeared to be the front desk, a price list was displayed. This is a nice consideration for first-time guests. Although the luxuriousness of the hotel is not so much.
"2,500 Tall (25,000 yen) per night with half board. Isn't that fair for a place like this?"

"Yes, it is. Let's stay two nights first.
So we decided to get a room here.

"It's on the second floor, number 203," he said.
I received a key and went up to the second floor. There were rooms on both sides of a straight corridor. 203 was the second room on the right after the stairs.
Upon entering, I found myself in a twin room with a large living room and two bedrooms.

From the window I could see the airport in the distance over the town of Florenz.
"It's a nice room, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is."

After putting down their luggage, Jin and Rhodes discussed what they were going to do.
It is 3:30 in the afternoon. The time is 3:30 p.m., which is halfway through the day.

It said that there was a workshop near the inn.
"......It seems to be mainly jewelry, is that correct?"

But as Rhodes pointed out, it seemed to be a workshop that made jewelry. Rhodes guessed that the point was to have guests buy souvenirs.
"That's good, isn't it? I'm kind of curious to see what kind of technology they use. ...... Well, maybe you could buy Vita a souvenir, huh?"
"For Vita? ...... what kind of things would she like?"

Jin laughs. It seems that Rhodes is even more naive than Jin in this respect.

Reiko, perhaps not seeing this, offered her advice.
"Oh, yes. I think that would be a good idea.
Jin agreed.

We had asked for directions on our way out, so we were able to get there without making any mistakes.

"I guess that's because it's an accessory workshop."
There are no workshops specializing in accessories in the Nordic Union. They all make ornaments only as a side project of making practical goods. That is why Rhodes seems to have had an image of a workshop as dirty and chaotic.
However, this workshop had a wide frontage and a large glass wall to allow a clear view of the inside.

Samples of what they make were also displayed in the show window, which stimulated the desire to purchase.
"It looks like a lot of silver-based items. These won't be too expensive, so they will be affordable."

After saying this, Jin realized that he was not familiar with the current market prices of metals.
When he mentioned this to Rhodes, he said,
"I heard that gold and silver have not changed much.

He replied, "I have heard that gold and silver have not changed much.
Jin agreed that it would certainly be bad if the price of gold fluctuated greatly in this gold-standard world.
"But the price of light silver, in particular, has been falling.

Light silver (= titanium) is a useful metal, but its price was high because of the difficulty of refining it, but since Jin had created magical tools and facilities for refining it long ago, the price had dropped dramatically.
"Then silver bullion as an accessory should be about the same as it was in the past.
With these words, Jin walked into the store.
