March 16th.

"Wow, that's nice!"

I like Jin-sama's [Hurricane], but I like this kind of plane, right?

Yeah!

Gou and Rubina were flying with Meltze in the [Nile] as promised.

Unlike Hurricane Jen, the acceleration of about 3G at most is applied to the body instantaneously, but it can also be said that it can be felt as "flying in the sky".

And Meltze was a child who could enjoy that feeling.

You kept your promise.

Of course!

It's good to fly, isn't it?

It's true.

Gou's piloting.

However, it can be said that the [Magic Brain for Control] equipped with fine control is doing it, and there is little worry of causing an accident due to pilot error.Unscrupulous maneuvering is canceled.

In that case, maneuverability is mild, and you can't accelerate, decelerate, turn at a steep angle, or flip at high speed.

This setting can be changed gradually and arbitrarily, and now it is in Level 1, "Super Beginner" mode.

I switched pilots with Rubina along the way.

The three-seater Nile can switch which of the three will pilot.

So Rubina also enjoyed piloting their own airplanes.

As expected, I couldn't let Meltze pilot it.

And as a backup, Jen watches with [Hurricane].

Therefore, the gows were able to enjoy themselves in peace.

As for Ren, he also intends to observe the performance of the [Nile].

The score was very high at 98 points.

"Oh, it was fun."

After enjoying a flight of about an hour, the "Nile Ridge" landed at the airfield on the shore of Lake Tosmo.

Hurricane lands next to it.

After disembarking, Nin went to the three people who were standing by the [Nile].

"Good job, Gou."

“Yes. No, it was fun.”

"And Rubina."

"Yeah! It's hard to pilot a real plane after all... but it was fun."

How was Meltze?

“Yes, it was so much fun! More than that, I was glad that Gow and Ruby had kept their promise.”

I see, that's good to know.

And to Gou and Rubina,

“Passing without complaints. After that, we'll go to Avalon."

I told her that.

Yes, Jin-sama.

"I'm ready."

I see.

I feel sorry for Meltze this time, too.

I was going to leave it to Elsa.

A year has passed since Meltze was to be deposited, and if she decides how to behave, there is still something she can do about it, but there is nothing she can do about it.

Well then, Mel-chan, let's go.

Meltze-san, I'm going.

Ruby-chan, Goo-san, do your best.

As a precaution, Hope steered the [Nile] to the [Avalon].

Jin, Reiko, Gou, and Rubina were in the [Hurricane].At that time, Reiko will pilot the ship.

"Nile" and "Hurricane" flew into the sky of Lake Tosmo.



On the same day, "The Nordic Federation".

The two "investigation teams" continue in the same direction until the middle.

Snow clearance was also carried out on this day, but the west side of the Gondor continent had less snow than the east side, so the speed of advance was slightly faster.

I knew it was spring after all.

"Look, the sprouts are swelling up there."

The trees on the side of the road were also budding, and some trees were blooming with white flowers that bloomed early.

"It's a shame there's no one familiar with plant systems."

"I can't help it."

It was a relaxed way to jump off such a conversation.... but...

Avalanche?

The road was blocked by a block of snow.

The right-hand side is a slope of about 200 meters with an elevation difference, and when you see many trees being knocked down, it seems that the snow has fallen from a considerable distance up.

Sounds like an avalanche from a long time ago.

Rhodotus looked up at the slope and said:

"This will clear the snow."

Because if it just collapsed, it could collapse again during snow removal.

The snow on the avalanche trail was firm and icy in places, and there was little chance that it would collapse anymore.

So the party carried out the snow removal work with peace of mind.

The broken trees and rocks are mixed together, which is a little tricky, but since it is a Northern people with high physical abilities, the snow removal was completed in about two hours.

It's over.

"Oh... by the way"

The Archista of the "Gospel" showed him what he held in his hand.

"Atkins, do you know what this stone is?"

It was a heavy stone shining in silver.

It seems to be crystallizing, and it looks like there are a lot of small grains of cubes.

Atkins, the geologist, saw it at first sight,

It's a lead mine.

I saw through it.

Lead ore is the main ore of lead, with a specific gravity of about 7.5 and a soft Morse hardness of 2.5.It's almost as hard as a nail, and when you rub it on paper, you get lead bars.

It has a full split (hedgehog) and breaks into cubes.

If it fell with the avalanche, there might be lead deposits on it.

You want to check it out?

"I see... there's plenty of time on the schedule, so it'll be nice to take a detour."

The "Adamantite Mineral Vein Survey Team" will take a short stop here and investigate the lead veins.

In response, he said that the "Philly Hideout Investigation Team" would also cooperate.

"A few hours anyway, right? We'll split up tomorrow and get to our destinations.I'll hang out with you for about today. "

Atkins thanked Rhodotus for his help.

Four people climbed the snowy slopes: Rhodothos, Kondak, Atkins, and Falsmouth.The slope is about fifteen to thirty degrees.

The shoes do not slip but are difficult to walk on because they are glare-like and melt into the shoes.

The four climbed about 30 meters apart.

There was a bare rock strip about 100 meters up Rhodotus at the right end of the road.It is on a cliff and there is no snow.

And that was the outcrop of the lead mine.

Silver shining ore was exposed.

It is likely that the surface layer was shredded by the avalanche and the veins were exposed.

There it is!

When Rhodotus spoke up, the other three gathered.

Atkins looked at the veins and said that there was no doubt about it.

"Thank you for your cooperation"

"It's easier than I thought."

"If this is the case, it looks like a mineral vein is connected to the underground from here."

"It was easier than I thought."

It was a team of surveyors who found unexpected veins on unexpected stops.
