"Oh, thank you."

He drinks the after-dinner tea and looks at the sky over Hale.
The sun was setting, the clouds were getting darker and darker, and the stars were beginning to twinkle in the sky.
"...... I guess I can finally relax."

Jin was relieved to finally be able to devote himself to what he loved to do.
"...... father, the old man has contacted you."

"Yes? What's going on?"
Jin got up from the porch and went to the manacam in the living room.
The manacam, as Jin liked, looked like a black telephone with a dial tone.

The old man gave a brief explanation.
According to him, there is a problem in the vicinity of Blueland, a local city in the Kingdom of Egelea.

We would like to dispatch the 5th Quinta immediately, but we have not sent the 5th Quinta yet.
The old man had been confined to Horai Island for a while to avoid the attack of Malchitas and others, and he was not fully aware of the world situation yet.

That is why he cannot send the fifth column (Quinta) without being discovered.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault.

In addition, Jin said that the dispatch of the 5th column (Quinta) could be postponed. He wanted the old man to devote his resources to Hale-related matters.
"Well, let's go to the Kingdom of Egelea ...... and visit the Blue Lands. ...... the warp gate is still in good working order?"

Reiko says a little frustrated.
"Yes, I'm going. If it is the descendants of my former friends who are in danger..."

Jin quickly finished his preparations, but only to lock the door of the house here in Hale.

"Yes, that's right. Well, come on in here."
Sion invited Jin to his house, saying that it was not a matter for standing around talking.

"...... It all started with the family feud."
"A family disturbance?"
Jin looked doubtful, and Zion began to explain a little background.

"The problem is the Marquis of Kuzma, who is the acting lord of Blueland," he said.
"...... Kuzma? Marquess? ...... Are you by any chance a descendant of Lewis and Bina?"

Zion nodded.
"Yes. About two hundred years ago, he was made a marquis instead of a count, and the Dukes of Bruu gave him full power in the Blue Lands."
"Heh. ......"

The Dukes of Bruu are still the lords of Blueland, but they actually participate fully in the affairs of state in the royal capital.
And the Kuzma family has been made a marquis instead of a count, and is now the acting lord of Blueland, with virtually full authority over the country.
"It was all good up to that point, though."

Still, he was curious about what was going on, so he decided to ask.

"Did they ever get suspicious or wonder about the disappearance of the whole family?
"Of course they would have been confused. But they didn't live together, they lived in different places, so I don't know how confused they would have been.
"I don't know."

It is possible, he says, that they were even glad that the main family was gone. That seems to be the way it is for aristocrats to be a branch of a family.
Incidentally, the biggest difference between the main family and the branch family is whether or not they knew of the existence of <

"Well, I can understand that."
Jin thought that life on Onogoro Island would be a paradise, as long as one did not cling to power.
