In the courtyard there is a simple pedestal assembled in wood, a short chimney-like cylinder that burns fire and sends heat. A folded balloon was placed over it.

It's December, so it's chilly, but it's sunny and the wind is weak, and it's a great balloon day.

At the end of the rope that extends from the net of the balloon, a belt is attached that hangs humans like parachutes.

I couldn't afford to make a gondola this time, so now I'm gonna have it hanging.

The Duke wondered if he would be suspicious of the strange objects prepared for the courtyard, and was intrigued as soon as possible.

He touches the plastic bark on the balloon, and he says, "What is this?"

"If it breaks, it will affect your safety, so please take care of yourself. The device is simple in its logic: it burns fire and sends hot smoke in this part, inflates the top bag, floats in the universe, and lifts people connected by rope."

To Eina's explanation, the Duke looks suspicious, turning around and tense.

"Smoke does go up, but I can't imagine humans floating in the universe where they gather that stuff."

"I was wondering if I should try that from now on. I'll confirm, are you sure you want to do this in person? Even though the rope connects to the ground, it rises higher than the spire of this castle, so if you do it badly, you could risk your life."

"Well, higher than that? It's a big one. It doesn't matter, if that really happens, how can we give that opportunity to someone else?"

... This Duke is usually an arrogant person. I think the odd have enough. The ministers are desperately stopping around, but they don't try to lend an ear at all.

"Shut up...... Do you lords really think that this will make humans float in the universe?

"Yes, no. That's..."

"Would it be? If it does not float, there is no earlier danger of hair. Their necks just fly and nothing goes wrong. Wouldn't it?

"That's... yes..."

Our necks flying is a big problem, but the Duke convinces his men to wear belts.

You've had too many chances to face a life-threatening crisis since you came to this world. I want to be able to live a safe and peaceful life soon......

... He's ready while I'm skipping consciousness to the ideal future, and Rhina lights the oil at the root of the chimney.

The specialty oil of the pharmacist has a strong firepower and does not fly the firepowder. Perfect oil for this application.

Hot air flows through the short chimney into the balloon, and the snake-bellied body soars high, while people's voices boil around.

From both sides of the balloon, the rope is stretched, each held by five soldiers to prevent the balloon from floating on its own.

When he sees enough buoyancy and signals Mr. Eina to loosen his hand holding the rope, the unleashed balloon starts to rise all at once.

"Oh? Oh, oh! They're pulling! Oh, I floated! We floated!!

A tense blasting Duke's voice echoes in the courtyard, and the balloon hangs the Duke, rising five, ten meters.

"Oh! Wow, that's amazing! We're really up higher than the spire!

As all look up to heaven, the Duke's voice grows farther and farther away.

Great, looks like you succeeded safely.................. Ah!

"Hey! Rope rope!

Because everyone is staring up, no one is holding the rope that is supposed to connect to the ground.

Already when I scream, the end of the rope slips through the hands of the soldier and the balloon continues to rise freely. Eriko.

I didn't think about the landing because I planned to pull it down slowly with the rope while the buoyancy remained.

The balloon becomes smaller and smaller, and the ground becomes as noisy as it was protruding (while) the bee's nest.

Orders fly with a pressing voice, the Duke's side and soldiers rush around in a panic (awww just), following a slowly flushing balloon, and the cavalry moves out with great momentum.

It sounds faint, the duke cheering sounds so uncomfortable making fun of me with the tension MAX.

The cavalry was followed by infantry and doctors, who told us to wait in one room once we were returned to the castle.

All-you-can-eat confectionery tea in a luxurious room, but there are several watchmen outside the door, and they follow you in pairs in the bathroom.

This is total imprisonment, isn't it?

There are no wires in this world, so there won't be electric shock death from scratching, but there will be water death if you break your leg when you land or fall into a river.

If that happens, can we go home alive?

My sister, Eina and Rhina were flat when I looked around as my stomach ached crisply.

My sister's with me by way of example, so I guess Rhina's because her liver's sitting there, but why Ayna?

Eina is usually someone who doesn't move things either, but she's in the middle of a very important assignment right now, and she's in a position to assume full responsibility... Oh, hey...

"Eina, could you have left the balloon flowing on purpose?

"... I was wondering if I could say it on purpose or if this could happen. It would be better to have a strong impression on that duke, and I wonder if his purpose could be achieved as soon as possible, because if he were to be flushed as far as the territory of the Duke of Barna aristocracy, it would be in the form of an invasion by the army of the Duke of Faros who went out to collect it. It was just like that."

... Don't say anything horrible about this girl. The future worries me.

Time slipped through my nerves, and after a few hours, I finally got word that the Duke was safely protected.

He said he hurt his left leg when he landed, which doesn't seem to be exactly safe, but I think he managed to get to the point where he was allowed to... I hope so......
