Jin and Elsa have finished building the medical vehicle,

"Now all we need is a blow floater for emergency use.

　They decided to build a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

"A VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft can land almost anywhere."

　The capacity of the aircraft is set to three people including the pilot.

　The pilot, the patient, and the patient's escort," he says.

"If we make it any bigger, it will not be portable. ......

"What if there are a lot of patients in an accident or something?"

"There's that or ......."

　There is a big difference between being unplanned and having a plan to cope with the situation.

"How about a warp gate...... or a magic circle?"

"Oh, that's a good idea."

　The technology of the magic circle of transfer itself is already known.

　Some of the warp gates used outside of Horai Island have them built in.

"Or, you can tell them the situation and ask them to donate a warp gate from the Kingdom of Selroa or something."

"......Isn't it not a good idea to owe them something like that?"

　Erza says, "We're on our own.

"Well, I don't know. , I was thinking that we could get a little help from each country.

"Oh, that's what I meant ......."

　Erza seemed to understand Jin's point.

"But I still think it's important to be free."

"You think so too, Erza? ......"

　Certainly Jin is well aware of the advantages of being free.

"...... understand. We'll do this on our own."

"Okay, thank you."

　Erza thanked Jin for letting her opinion be heard.



　So, we're going to use the here.

　However, in case of emergency, she would pretend to be using the transfer magic circle and use the transporter on Horai Island.

　Deputy Chief of Staff Ilmina Ratkin asked.

"Of course not. But without a decision, we won't be able to reach a conclusion anytime soon. That's why I'm trying to get some information to make a decision.

Then why don't you make an open and honest offer?

Illumina, do you have a concrete plan?

Yes, I do. Yes. Do you have a concrete plan?

Yes. Let's hear it.



　Ilmina Ratkin's plan was to make a very short visit to the Duchy of Jagus and four other duchies as a <>.

"I think it would be useful for a preliminary inspection.

　< has a strong political meaning as it bears the consensus of the nations of the congress, but the visit as a would be on a smaller scale.

　They would start with the relatively friendly Principality of Mimaka, then move on to the Principality of Dalat, the Principality of Norway, and the Principality of Jagus, using the logic that if the other principality allowed them to visit, why not yours?

"I see. However, going from the Principality of Dalat to the Principality of Norway is a bit of a difficult course.

　Tomax Bartmann said that the location of the principality would make the course unnatural, as it would be like tracing the letter Z backwards.

"Yes, that's true. So, shall we have the Duchy of Dalat first, then the Duchy of Jagus, and finally the Duchy of Norway?"

"Can't we have the Principality of Dalat first, then the Principality of Mimaka, then the Principality of Norja, and finally the Principality of Jagus?"

　Tomax suggested another route.

"Yes, the Principality of Dalat isn't too worried about us, so we might be able to manage.

　Ilmina Ratkin thought about it and answered.



"And then there's the pretext," she said.

"That would be aid, after all," she said.

　She meant that they would provide assistance for the shortage of goods.

"That's right. We want to achieve the maximum effect at the lowest possible cost.

How about Magi Stone (......)?"

　Manon, the secretary-automata who was standing nearby, said.

"I have heard that such resources are scarce in those countries.



　Magi stones are less pure than magi crystals, so the magical power that can be extracted from them is weaker and their uses are limited.

　Nevertheless, they are sufficient for use in magical tools that do not require output, and Bina once used fire-attribute magi stones in her <.

　At this level, it would be too inefficient to be used in weapons, and would instead degrade their performance. In other words, it could not be used for military purposes, which is why it was chosen as a souvenir.

"I can buy magi stones at a low price.

　Since most of the waste stones produced during the mining of magi crystals are also magi stones, there are so many low-quality magi stones that they can be thrown away.

　Even so, they are useful in some ways, so they are not thrown away and are traded at low prices.

Okay, let's go with that. The lowest quality is not good enough, so use a magi stone of moderate quality.

I'll get it for you right away.

　Manon had a plan to obtain the Magi Stone. Of course, it was Jin.

　There are mountains of Magi Stones in Horai Island, and Moon also has a stock of Magi Stones.

"Then, shall we leave this operation in the hands of Gaju Tsuga, the deputy commander of the Mimaka Principality's garrison?

"Yes, he would be the best person for the job.

The decision was made.

Excuse me, Mr. Illumina, may I have a word?

　After the meeting, Fiona Fias, who had just become secretary to the chief administrator, spoke to Ilmina Ratkin.

"Yes?"

"Well, what's the reason why the deputy commander is in charge of the operation you just mentioned instead of the captain?"

Oh, I see. Oh, that's why. ......"

　Ilmina Ratkin explained to Fiona Fiasse as a senior member of the team.

"First of all ...... you are right. A captain has a lot of responsibility and can't move around too much. Besides, a captain is usually in his late 30s or 40s, right?

　So, depending on the mission, he explained, it would be physically demanding.

"Of course, we will also consider aptitude. Gaju Tsuga is quite capable. And since he is from Fusor, he might know a little about them.

　The region is closer to the four principalities than to the Lesser Horde, said Ilmina Ratkin.

"All of these things have been taken into consideration."
