The day after tomorrow, July 7, the time is 9:00 a.m..
It is the day Jin and his party leave the Nordic Federation.
"First, I'm going back to Nido Castle.
Jin wanted to bring a gift of his own, although he had left it to Erza.
He could have asked to use materials from Marikka's workshop, but he wanted to use his own.
"Well then, thank you for everything, Zion and Marikka.
"No problem.
"Thank you very much, Jin-san, for everything."
Jin, Zion, Marikka and the others said their goodbyes.
"Mr. Zion, Ms. Marikka, I learned a lot from you. Thank you very much.
"My narrow world has become wider. Thank you very much.
Emperor Hilde and Flora also expressed their short but heartfelt thanks.
"Thank you, Hilde, for your continued support."
At the end of the ceremony, Zion bowed to the Grand Emperor in the Shoro style of curtesy.
"Edgar, launch <>."
"Yes, Jin-sama."
Jin, Emperor Hilde, Flora, Reiko, and the five colored golem maids all boarded the <> and it floated in the air, rising rapidly.
On the ground, Zion, Marikka, and Marikka's students kept waving their hands until they were out of sight.

First, they went to Nido Castle. There Jin spent half an hour preparing his gift.
He made a silver spoon, put it in a wooden box similar to paulownia wood, and wrapped it with beautiful wooden paper and ribbon.
The design of the spoon is just a modified version of the one Elsa had made earlier.
As for the clothes, since they were going to the <>, they were wearing formal wear, so I decided to leave them as they were.
However, in order to remove dust and dirt, the clothes of myself, Emperor Taue (Hilde), Flora, Reiko, the five colored golem maids, and Edgar were given a <.
The time is 11:30 am.
It is a little early, but we decide to have lunch.
This time, onigiri (rice balls) are prepared.
I have eaten this onigiri twice or so. They are delicious, aren't they?
"They are easy to eat."
The onigiri are made in bite-sized portions so that the participants can enjoy a variety of ingredients.
The ingredients are salt, sesame, pickled plum, bonito flakes, kelp, and salmon. And grilled onigiri are available in two flavors, miso and soy sauce.
(Jin thought it was a little disappointing that there was no cod roe.)
Jin thought to himself,
"The bonito is nice," he said.
The kelp is also tasty.
"I love the aroma of the grilled onigiri with soy sauce.
"The aroma of miso is also indescribable."
Jin likes simple salted musubi quite a lot.
He finishes with hojicha tea.
"Oh, it was delicious. Thank you for the food.
"Jin-dono's restaurant serves delicious food. I want to follow your example.
Jin was relieved to hear that both Hilde and Flora were satisfied with the meal.
