The morning of departure for the Committee. Mira got up a little early and spent a relaxing early morning.

After breakfast, it's time to chat with Mariana over a cup of coffee or something.

Having fully nurtured his spirit, he finally got up.

Well then, let's go.

Yes, please go.

Cucumber!

In front of the Summoning Magic Tower. Mariana and Luna came out to see me off. Mira gently hugs both of them and announces her departure.

Then, as you get into the Garuda Wagon, the ground gradually gets farther away.

Thus Mira embarked on her journey to the Nikko Main Committee while being dropped off by Mariana and the others.

The research institute of the Nikko Research Commission is located north of the sea area between the Earth and Arc continents.

Further north across the sea from St. Poly at the westernmost point of the Earth Continent.

That's why when we set off from the Alkite Kingdom in the southeast of the Earth Continent, we were a long way away.

In that case, three days had already passed since Mira left the Arkite Kingdom.

That said, we can't force Garuda to do it. It was progressing with a break everywhere.

Garuda herself is also enjoying the air trip, and seems to be in a better mood than usual.

"Oh, that's it." I finally see it. "

Thus it was four days after departure. Instead of lunch, they were gazing out the window at the ocean.

Finally, a shadow of a large island emerged ahead of us in that direction.

Kadiasmite Island, the largest and most powerful naval state on the continent, is ruled by the Kadiasmite alliance.

The name of the representative who will rule the coalition is Khadira Halmireia Ortaba. It is a lady who brings together an army of desolate people from the sea.

(When we first visited, it was just another time. Are you sure your predecessor's name was Deola Halmireia Ortaba?)

When I was still in Dunbalf. For the first time in decades, the succession of the representative who is the conciliator of the Kadiasmite coalition was carried out, and everyone went to see it.

According to an ancient tradition, the leader of the strongest navy is chosen from among the women of the army. And the chosen one will take the name of Halmireia Ortaba.

It is said to be the name of two heroes who once summed up the nations that were still fighting as allies.

(That nautical parade was spectacular.)

This time, the destination to immerse yourself in the memories of the time is the northern tip of the island. It was deeper into the rocky mountains. It is said that there is an entrance to the cliff at the border with the sea.

Well, how much longer will it take?

I could see the island, but the lab was still far away. Somehow, Cadia Smite Island is about the same size as Honshu in Japan.

Now, such an island can be seen as thin in the distance. Sometimes they fly at a considerable altitude, and they'll still need a few hours to get to the island.

So I couldn't help but float here. Once Mira calmed down, she reconfirmed the entrance to the laboratory.

"Sure, I thought you said you were picking me up..."

The landmark of the entrance previously taught by Soul Howl. Solomon contacted me on the other side, and someone from the lab is picking me up nearby.

Mira, turning from a distance and approaching the northern cliff of Kadiasmite Island, looked for the entrance landmarks while checking the map.

Probably around here, he stepped out on the pedestal of the wagon and looked around. That's when I was flying around, fumbling around.

In front of the cliff. If you think you've found something that looks like the landmark you were talking about, you'll notice something unknown floating on the nearby sea surface.

"What is that..."

I don't know the details because it is still a little far. However, it was clearly distinctively shaped enough to be judged as an artificial object.

Mira drew closer to you, intrigued.

How about that. I'm surprised they noticed us again. Moreover, it rises perpendicularly above the sea level and flies straight to us.

A mysterious flying object. The speed was much faster than that of any other bird. For this reason, Garuda is ready to intercept the rapid approach of something unidentified.

In an instant, the whole area was besieged by a storm.

Shortly thereafter, the rapidly orbiting flying object began to fly around as if it were flirting with Garuda. On the other hand, Garuda has decided that this is a suspicious and dangerous item, or she has finally moved to a serious intercept position.

"Garuda, I'm fine. I've come a long way, but it's because I'm not an enemy."

If we leave it as it is, there will be a storm all over the area. And above all, Mira, who knows the identity of the flying object, told Garuda that there is no problem.

Garuda caught a rough breeze with an attitude that Mira would say.

And when the flying object stopped moving as if it was a signal, it approached Mira.

Then, the disc-shaped top opens up and a woman comes out of it.

The body feels thin with long black hair and snug eyes. The figure is as if it embodied an unhealthy researcher.

"Ahh, don't stop me. I wanted to see how far the king of the sky could go."

She said such words with her mouth open, and looked at Mira with a very grumpy face.

"Don't be ridiculous. If I hadn't stopped it, I'd be sinking into the ocean by now."

Mira seemed to be shocked by the woman, but she returned it with a little pleasure.

Mira knew about her. This is the── abbreviation of Mikey Shamale, a craftsman who was often cared for in the production of tools.

"No, no, this guy's pretty good." Even if the strongest Garuda is the opponent, there is no way to lag behind in the sky. "

Mike wanted to test the maneuverability of a── flying disc on a mysterious flying object against Garuda. And he seemed quite confident. He laughs and shows with a little provocative eyes.

What an easy-to-understand challenge.

I would have to break it down and get down to business. But here is one of the Nine Sages who likes experimentation.

“If that's what you want to say, why don't you give it a try?”

Now, Mira, smiling to see if she could shoot down the disk, summons Pegasus and stores the wagon on her back. Garuda lost her luggage, and now she's all set.

Oh, I hope so!

Mike replies that he will do his best not to compromise in any way because he is confident in his work. When I retracted to the disc, the sound of the machine began to make a loud noise, whether it was released by some sort of safety.

Then, on Mira's signal, a dog fight began between the empty king Garuda and the flying disc.

I can see why Mike was so confident about what he did and how he did it. The motion of the flying disk was incomparably more agile than that of the birds and dragons.

Rapid movement and reorientation from a stopped state. Flying through the sky was exactly what everyone thought of as UFOs.

Once we escape Garuda's sight, the discs will be ours. The spectacularly fluttering cosmos reveals enough maneuverability to anticipate the birth of a new ruler of the sky.

However, there was a little bit of mercy on Mira's face as she looked at it.

Well, my Garuda wasn't good enough for the boulders.

At first glance, it was as if the disk was flirting with Garuda, but in reality it was different. Garuda just doesn't keep up with the movement because she knows everything by the wind.

And above all, the battle will be settled next time Garuda moves.

It was only when the disk stormed to make up its mind. It was a complete blind spot, but Garuda was captured from the beginning.

Therefore, once the wings were flapped, a storm broke out, and soon the disc was wound up.

From there, we're completely under Garuda's control. The disc cannot freely escape the rough wind, and it is thrown into the swirling wind and turned around.

I surrender! I surrender!

The disk also has a speaker. Even in the midst of a storm, a pleading voice clearly rang, and the sound of something hitting from my mouth echoed.

It is one of the laboratories operated by this committee. "Modern Technology Research Institute" is located at the northern tip of Kadiasmite Island.

Guided by Mike, we enter through the hidden entrance. And Mira was so impressed in front of the vast harbor there.

How many hundred meters are the width and depth? And how many giant ships can we dock?

Moreover, it was found that the ship was currently under construction. From the looks of it, it looks like a flying ship. But its size is no longer standard.

Are you thinking about flying a luxury ship into the air right now? Mira was just amazed at the impulse she felt along the way.

In this way, just looking at this place gives a glimpse of the technology and power that the Nikko Main Committee has.

"I have grasped the improvements." Next time, we win! "

One of the people in charge of such a laboratory is Mike. She rushed somewhere with a wobbly footsteps to land ahead of her, and now she's back.

Everything has changed from the clothes just now, Mike.

The flying disk was said to be the latest aircraft that brought together the strength of her team. However, from her defeat, it must have been quite miserable in the disk.

"Ah, well, good luck."

Stay away from it. While looking sideways at the disc that was rolling, Mira took a little more distance.

"I heard about that, but you're really getting cute." I was a little too cute to be surprised. This is the Dunbalf. "

Mike swallowed the water in his hand quickly, and finally looked at Mira calmly, and said his feelings again.

The fact that Dunbalf became a beautiful girl named Mira. Mira's visit to the research facility of this committee in Japan was heard from Solomon in advance.

However, I was told to ask the details. Therefore, "So, why did you become a girl again?" And it's already throwing a straight question.

"... well... this is for the sake of my country, for the sake of all my friends." No matter what you hide, the return of the Nine Sages isn't enough.── "

Mira repeated the excuse that had been in the same situation before. I made it easy to move around in search of the Nine Sages who didn't come back.

That's a really holey excuse. However, Mira pushed through with her momentum, and as a result, she was able to find and recall many of the Nine Sages.

"Huh, that fact was hidden behind the return of that Nine Sages." But why a woman?── "

"──But well, it's not that interesting about me!" More than that, this is a hell of a place! It's full of exciting sights everywhere! "

If it was for that reason, it was better to be a boy rather than a girl. Mike tried to mouth the deadly part of the excuse full of holes. Mira, who understood it first, told her to scream halfway as she looked around to round off the topic.

In fact, this port is packed with romance. There is definitely an exciting sight there.

There are not only discs with contaminated interiors or mega-sized flying ships under construction. There were several other airships, ranging from large to small, which were common sense.

And all of them are shaped differently from what I've seen before.

If you ask me what that is, and what this is, with curiosity, Mike will answer well whether my interest in Mira has improved.

Everything here, I say, is an experiment. Based on the finished flying ship, it is said that it has undergone modifications such as specializing in aspects such as speed and payload.

By the end of the day, Mike said he wanted to keep costs down so that even small and medium-sized enterprises could own them, and to improve logistics in each country.

Huh, the Rock is at the forefront of magic engineering.──

Numerous experimental machines for this purpose. And the researchers of this committee who continue to work day by day for the well-being of many countries.

Mira was impressed by her fine will and solid technology. But at the same time, you will also witness the difficulty of that path.

"However, after that failure, it looks like it's still going to take some time..."

Thinking that I could hear a rumble from a distance, one of the experimental planes started to explode and burn. It was a catastrophic accident.

However, the researchers who handle it are extremely calm. That's something I'm really used to.

So far, the explosion is a daily tea event.

"It's only a matter of time before this happens." It's in the quote. It's not a failure, it's a feeling that we've succeeded in finding a way that doesn't work. "

Mike laughed with a mouthful of such words.

What a positive quote. Mira laughed dumbfounded somewhere, but when she heard the sound of the explosion, she was worried that it was really okay.
