On August 10, the idea of holding an air race in the village of Toka was discussed among the Nords.
The idea was conveyed to the volunteers of the Nordic Federation through of .
Rhodoth, the great-grandson of Sion, had also heard of the story.
"An air race. ....... I think we talked about that when Jin-san and I visited the village of Toka in the Kingdom of Klein,...... or was it in another place? Well, no."
Where is not so important. Rhodes was motivated to get involved.
"A wind-powered floater (blow floater) race? I love it! Let's get out there!
Marikka's students are also motivated.
After all, Marikka developed the "Blow Floater" about 250 years ago.
Therefore, the response within the Nordic Federation was great, and a total of 10 teams announced their participation.

Meanwhile, in Horai Island, the host of the event behind the scenes.
"As for the air race, I'm thinking of calling it the <<1st Marikka Cup>>."
Jin said his idea in front of the whole .
"What?
"Oh, I like that."
"I agree."
"I think it's a good idea."
Everyone agreed except for Maricka.
"Is this the Marikka Cup?"
"Yes. Because Marikka developed the Blow Floater, didn't she? That's why we named it after the developer. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
"Whew ......"
"The winner is supposed to get a trophy with Marikka's name on it, right?"
The embarrassed Marikka receives a further blow.
The voice comes from Zion, who has come to inform her of the situation in the Nordic Federation.
"Whew... ......."
Marikka looks more and more embarrassed.
"...... It's okay. <
Zion followed up, thinking that he had indeed teased her too much.
"Oh, yes, that's right. Besides, you have to go to the site ......."
But Jin also said,
"But you know, ...... I'm thinking we should all go and see it together."
He said to me,
"No, no, no, ......."
Marikka was upset.

Time flew by and it was September 14.
"Oh, you're doing great!
Rhodes, who was testing a new type of , nodded his head in satisfaction on the plane.
The circular wings have been replaced by elliptical wings, which are longer in profile and more stable than before. The result is more stability than before, though it is less maneuverable.
"From here, let's study how to increase the speed and maneuverability.
After first ensuring stability and safety, research is conducted to fulfill the next requirement.
That was the Rhodes way.
"Lo, you seem to be doing well.
"Yes, Grandmother. You've been working on the plane for a while now.
Down below, Zion and Rhodes' sister, Vita, were looking up at the sky.
