When he heard from the old man that nothing had happened, he went back to sleep, relieved.

The next day was December 30, which is New Year's Eve in our calendar.
After breakfast, Jin used the warp gate to call Rhodes' sister, Vita, and Rhodes' fiancée, Ludmilla, from the Nordic Federation.
"Brother!
"Master Rhodes!"
"Liu, Vita!"
"Good for you, Lo."
Zion smiles at Rhodes, who has flowers in both hands.
Jin introduces Eira and the other three to their new guest.
"It is a pleasure to make the acquaintance of the people of the Nordic Federation.
Eira and the three of them introduced the new guest to Eira and the others,
"Well, I never get tired of being with Jin!"
and the open-hearted Eira,
"Yo, I'm looking forward to working with you."
and the reserved Katya.
Jin was hopeful that this year's New Year's holiday would be a lively one.
"Well, let's go to the beach today.
"The sea, I like it. ...... Come to think of it, it's warm here on the island. <.
Jin explains to Eira.
"Yes, it is. is closer to the equator. This island is not that far south, but the warm currents flowing nearby make it warmer in winter.
"I see."
While we were talking, it seemed that the golem car was ready for the trip to the sea.
"Wow, that's interesting!
Vita is excited. Or rather, she seems to have been in high spirits ever since she arrived at Horai Island. To the point that Rhodes, who is with her, is amazed.
The group is heading to the sea in two six-seater golem cars.
In the first car are Jin, Reiko, Eira, Katya, and Groma. The driver is Lao Tzu. In the second car are Zion, Marikka, Roadtoss, Vita and Ludmilla. The driver is Hope.
This time Lao Tzu is dressed as a butler.
We arrived at Tatsumi Bay in about an hour.
"Wow, beautiful sea!
Vita's tension was still high, even though she had been excited all the way to the car.
"Well, the ocean is nice," she said.
"It's nice, isn't it?"
Eira and Katya had seen the sea several times, too.
"Isn't it?"
Jin then pointed to the harbor.
"Uh... ......"
"Oh, that, what is it?"
There was a 100-meter-long, all-metal ship, a cruiser , floating in the harbor.
"This is the cruiser that protects this island. Would you like to board it?
"Of course!"
No one objected, so Jin quickly climbed aboard.
"No, this is great!"
"Jin-sama, this is great!"
"Wow! ......"
Eira and Vita were impressed.
"All right, let's get underway!"
At Jin's command, the cruiser slowly left the harbor for the coast of Tatsumi Bay.
