"Dad, I wish I could fly too."

 The participants were making final adjustments and confirmations as they had free flight time until 8:30.

 At the same time, they were appealing to the audience.

"No, that sounds like fun."

 Yuzo Mayaka, the chief of Toka Village, looks up at the sky with envy.

 He must be thinking that he too would like to ride on one of these boats.



 Many other children were also inspired by the longing for the sky, and the Kingdom of Klein would later experience the <, but that's another story.

 Some of the invited guests said,

"I don't think that shape will be optimal ......."

 Some of the invited guests seemed to feel that "that shape will never be the best ," which will spur the development of <> in other countries as well.

 Incidentally, the shape of the blow floaters in this competition is between that of a <> and a <>.

 The main wings are often circular or oval in shape, and there is no tail wing.

 The pilot's seat is suspended under the wing.

 The main wing is not soft like a paraglider, but rigid with a framework.

 The pilot's seat is also fixed under the wing, even though it is suspended.

 One engineer questioned the circular or elliptical shape of the main wings.

 His name was . He is 25 years old and an up-and-coming engineer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time for the first Marikka Cup Air Race.

 A little before 9:00 a.m., the announcement rang out in the hall.

 By that time, most of the spectators had already taken their seats and were waiting for the race to start.

 The audience seats were facing south, and the flight area extended east to west in front of them.

 Directly in front of the audience seats, there are three huge monitors ...... with magic screens, which will show the flight in the distance.

It is time for you to leave. We will now hold the <<1st Marikka Cup Air Race>>!

 The audience cheered.

The MC for this event is Yuzo Mayaka, the mayor of Toka Village. The commentary is by one of the organizers, Deus Ex Machina.

 The audience applauded and cheered.

"First of all, I would like to give a brief explanation of this tournament. <

 Makina took over the explanation.

Yes, <> are aircraft or flying machines that use wind magic to float. Therefore, the main wings are shaped to catch the wind easily, but there is also some ingenuity in the shape of the wings. ...... Let's have them actually fly and compete rather than just say words!"

 A loud cheer erupted.

"Now, let me introduce the contestants and their aircrafts! Please note that titles will be omitted since this is an actual competition.

 At this point, a drumbeat sounded.

"First up is number 1, the Rhodes team of the <>! Piloted by Rhodos, who designed and built it!"




 Since it is a wind-powered blower-floater, it is capable of low-speed flight. Rhodes and his plane lifted off and slowly circled in front of the spectators' seats at about the speed of a fast walk before landing at their original location.

"Number 1 has a circular wing, but it is rather small. I guess it's more for speed. Also, the gondola where the cockpit is located is a little lower, which seems to emphasize stability."

 Deus ex machina explained.

"Number 2, the <> Harnata! The pilot is the assistant automata H12!"

"Hmmm, it looks like a normal type with circular wings, but there are some ingenious ideas to reduce the weight. ...... and that automaton, maybe it weighs about 15 kg. It is probably intended to be lightweight.

"I see, the rules do not prohibit automata and golems from being controlled.

 As expected of Makina, she recognized the characteristics of H12 at a glance. Indeed, Harunata aimed at total weight reduction by using automata that were lightened to the utmost limit.

 Furthermore, we consulted with Jin <. In the race, an automaton should be used instead of a human driver. This was Harunata's conclusion.

"Arkista of the number 3, <>! The pilot is the designer and builder himself!"

"Circular wing. It must have a good balance of overall performance. How to give it a unique color is the key to success.

"The Sargent of the <>, number 4! Piloted by his assistant, O'Rourke!

"Another circular wing, but larger. It is the opposite of the number 1. It probably has a powerful propulsion system.

"Number 5, Zeddice of <>! The pilot is my assistant and sister, Zerar!"

"Well, it has square wings."

 The wings are shaped so that the apexes are on the front, back, left, and right.

"It might be interesting. It seems to have a good balance of speed and stability.



"Number 6, <>'s imimir! Piloted by our co-developer, Chemin!

"I heard she is a disciple of Marikka's. It has long elliptical wings. This is interesting. This is also interesting.

 The long elliptical wings tend to be unstable from side to side, but the gondola position seems to be lowered to cope with this problem.

"Number 7, <>'s view sack! I will pilot the gondola myself!

He is the granddaughter of Marikka. ...... This is also a circular wing, but it is thinner than it looks. It is thin, probably for speed.

 Circular wings are usually shaped to hold air since they also serve as air sacs, but the thickness of this one is only about half that of other airframes.

 The air resistance during flight seems to be low because of this.

"Probably, the air jets used to keep the aircraft afloat are very powerful."

"Number 8, <> Nikelis! I will control it myself!

"It also has square ...... or diamond-shaped wings.

 It is a similar type to the number 5.

"It seems to be speed oriented. The propulsion system seems to be powerful.



"This is the ConDuck of number 9, <>! Piloting the C600 is an automaton!

He is also a granddisciple of Marikka's. He is also a grandson of Marikka. ...... He has circular wings, but the propulsors are huge ...... rather than large. It seems to be speed oriented."



"And the number 10, <>, Rulstner! He pilots it by himself!

"It has circular wings, but the components are thin. I saw it as a lightweight wing with high rigidity and structural strength.



"Thank you very much, Mr. Makina. Now, the preliminary rounds will begin. The qualifying round is determined by the time taken to complete one lap around the venue and back around a pillar on a hill one kilometer away from the venue. The qualifying positions will determine the starting positions for the main event!
