I don't want to go home!

　Hearing those words, Yuri tilted his head in annoyance.

''But there seems to be a big deal going on down there...''

　Yuri said and turned his attention to the image projected on the screen. The image was a view of the ground taken from above. Apart from the grasslands, hills, and red streets, there were numerous people.

　Januar snorted in disapproval at the sight.

'That's right, Ditsen. Lord Taiki has asked me to come again by all means. Why don't you come again soon?'

　When Januar said that, Ditsen held out his hands with a tearful look on his face.

'That's looking for you guys! Because I'm not involved!

Who are you guys? You don't mean us, do you?

　Seeing Januar's eyes narrowed, Ditsen said, "Ugh.

'Yes, no, Your Highness, but I may or may not come down...'

　Januar sniffed at a biting Ditsen and replied.

'Don't think you're the only one who gets your hopes up when we had to leave? It's a road trip.

'I knew it! Look, Master Taiki! I can stay in this castle if I want to!

　Ditsen raised his voice with a desperate look at Januar's statement, but Taiki shook his head from side to side with a wry smile.

''I'm sure there are a lot of people looking for you, Ditsen-san.

　As Taiki replied, Ditsen looked back at Januar.

'Your Highness, I'm supposed to be dead.

"We'll pretend Ditsen was kidnapping us. I'll forward the wanted list to the neighboring countries as well.

Despicable things!

　Ditsen groaned as he fell to his knees on the ground. At the sight of him, Eira also opened her mouth.

''Ditsen-sama? There is such a thing as a diplomatic relationship. If even one person goes missing in this way, people will think it's this celestial country that's suspicious.

'If you don't tell me you were up in the sky...'

'There's a good chance that someone will see Master Januar and Yuri when they get off, right? The ground is being searched for by that large group of people.

　Eira admonished him, and Ditsen shushed him, unable to argue this time.

　Januar and Yuri looked at each other and nodded and turned to Taiki.

''It looks like we've finally gotten our story together. I'm sorry it took so long.''

'No, no. I'm glad if you're that interested in this castle.

Please invite me back at once. I'll drop everything and leave it at that.

'Haha. Well, I'll send you an invitation soon.

　After such an exchange, Taiki looked up.

　And Maea, who had been quietly watching the course of events until then, opened her mouth.

''Well, I've never seen the floating one before.

　When Maea said that, Trainee, Runt and Schnee, who were standing in line together, nodded silently.

''This one?''

　Saying that, Taiki pointed a finger, and not only Maea and the others but also Eira nodded.

　There was a black drone floating at the end of Taiki's pointing, and an image was projected onto the empty space above the drone. The image was slightly transparent, and he could see the blue sky and part of the castle wall behind him.

　Confirming this, Taiki opens his mouth.

''It's called an aerial projection display...''

　When Taiki was unable to explain, Eira and the others all tilted their heads with a difficult look on their faces.

''Ha ... well, I'll explain it to you next time. Well then, I'll pick you all up.''

　Taiki told him falsely, and then turned his attention to A1. With that, A1 moved and lifted a large box.

　It's a square box that looks like it's made of metal. It has no top, and the walls on the front, back and sides are about waist high. Januar and others got on that box and looked at each other anxiously.

''Well I'm afraid to go down this height with this.

'Sure....'

'Really? I thought it looked like fun. Doesn't the view look nice too?

　Taiki laughed after hearing such a conversation between the three of them.

''Then let's put another three on.

　Taiki said, and within seconds, three robots flew out of the castle. The robots that landed in a huff lined up around the box with A1 and secured the box with their hands.

'Ooh, that's safe.'

The view...

"Let's not worry about the scenery, Your Highness Yuri.

　Taiki laughs and calls out to the three noisy people.

Well, I'll invite you to the castle again at a later date.

　With that, they exchanged goodbyes, and then the three descended to the ground, waving their hands from the top of the box that A1 and the others had lifted.





　When they entered the cloud, the three of them shouted out to their white-tinted vision.

'Oh, clouds. We're in a cloud.''

I thought it would be fluffier than that.

It's like a thick fog which is strange.

　While they were having this conversation, they broke through the clouds and the terrestrial landscape unfolded in front of the three of them.

　The vast territory of Emperor Frieder spread out in front of them, and Yuri let out a cheer.

''It's beautiful, Brother Januar,''

''Yeah, it's a great view. I'd definitely like to have the technology from that Celestial Land to make this Frieder Empire even bigger.

'Mmm! Then let me.....

You're not coming back.

''That's right. If Ditsen-sama is going, then Brother Januar and I are going too...

Of course we're going back. Of course we'll be back. After all, we didn't meet any of the original inhabitants of the Celestial Land other than Lord Taiki.

　When Januar uttered that, Yuri raised a question mark.

'Is Lady Eira different?'

Lord Eira didn't seem to know much about the Celestial Land either, and her reaction to us was noticeably different than that of Lord Taiki.

Response?

"Taiki-dono's ignorance of the culture and common sense that prevailed on earth, at worst, seemed to be an unworldly part of us. You can also find a number of different types of products and services. The same would be true for the cat-beast people who seem to be his squire.

Is that so? I thought you were all born in a celestial land.

'As far as I can see, the only true inhabitant of the Land of the Sky is Lord Taiki. I don't know how many other inhabitants there are, but it doesn't look like too many.

　After analyzing the Celestial Land so, Januar crossed his arms and looked up at the sky.

''........I must go back. To that country.''
