On May 28, the mission to visit the four principalities was to be carried out, with Gaju Tugga as the official envoy and Manon and Fionn Fiasse as the deputy envoys.
"Wow, I don't think I can handle such a big role. ......" said Fionn Fiasse.
Fionn Fias said,
"Don't worry. I'm not going to go undercover this time, even though I'm gathering information.
Illumina Ratkin convinced her to participate in this important mission.
"The Magi Stone was sent to the garrison through the warp gate.
Illumina Ratkin is making a final check.
Have you read the operation plan?
Yes, sir.
Gaju Tugga is already over there making preparations.
Yes, sir.
You don't have to be so nervous. Manon will go with you.
Yes, yes.
Ilmina Ratkin sighed,
"Well, I can't tell you not to be nervous. ......I was also very nervous during the first mission.
"Oh, Illumina-san?"
Fiona Fierce looked surprised and Ilmina Ratkin smiled at her,
"Yes, that's right. I was a newcomer at one time too.
She poked Fionn Fias on the forehead with her finger.
"Go for it. Manon, I'm counting on you.
"Yes, yes!
Yes, I'll take care of it.
The two were transported by warp gate to Recode, a town at the southern tip of the Principality of Mimaka.

"Welcome Fiona Fierce, Manon."
At the receiving end of the warp gate, Gaju Tsuga, the leader of the mission and the official messenger, was waiting for us.
Gaju Tsuga is 34 years old this year. He has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, and at 170 centimeters and 60 kilograms, he is small for a military man.
"Pleased to meet you."
"Pleasure to meet you."
Fiona and Manon greeted each other briefly.
The Magi Stone arrived yesterday. It's a huge amount.
Fionne saw that there were four citran containers (about the size of a 10 kg box of oranges) filled to the brim with Magi Stones.
"With this weight, it will be tough to load them all... We will load one, go to one country, come back, reload and go to another country..."
Gaju Tugga said.
"Then I don't see any problem with going to the Principality of Mimaka, the Principality of Dalat, the Principality of Norway, and the Principality of Jagdus, in that order.
And Manon.
"That's what I mean. We'll be flexible about that. Of course, I'll let know.
The operation has already begun, and Gaju Tsuga is in charge.
He was allowed to use his own discretion to the extent that he could make changes at his own discretion.

At the same time, in Horai Island, the old lord was reporting to Jin.
"Oh, it's about time. Yesterday, Manon asked us to sell the Magi Stone at a low price.
Horai Island and Recode, a town at the southern tip of the Principality of Mimaka, are about 170 degrees apart in longitude.
In other words, there is a time difference of half a day.
Incidentally, the time difference from < is approximately 120 degrees. In other words, the time difference is 8 hours.
Therefore, the actual operation would not start until a little later.

Gaju Tsuga, Fiona Fias, Manon, and the others had a final meeting until 5:00 in the morning local time.
They then took a three-hour nap.
At 8:00 a.m. they awoke from their nap and prepared for departure.
"One container. ...... It's pretty heavy."
"It weighs about 40 kilograms."
Manon, the automaton, easily lifts it up and loads it onto the airship that will be used for the flight.
"Is this a new model?"
Fiona asked, looking up at the airship.
Yes, it is the first of the 3901 model, 70 meters long with a fuselage of 20 meters in diameter. The maximum payload is about 500 kilograms. The maximum payload is about 500 kilograms.
In other words, it can carry eight people.
"We have removed all but two crossbows from the armament. This would be suitable for visits to many countries."
The airship is new and minimally armed.
The dull silver air sacs were painted with the symbol of the <>, the <>.
"The capital of the Principality of Mimaka, Quonare, is only 30 kilometers away, so it won't take more than an hour to get there.
He had already informed them that he would be visiting on this day.
"Even though it's close, we can't stay here forever. Let's get going."
Gaju Tugga, ostensibly the official envoy on patrol and the commander of this mission, gave the order.
"Yes, sir."
The crew consists of Gaju Tsuga, Fiona Fierce, Manon, and two other pilots and a co-pilot. There were five of them.
And 40 kilograms of magi stones as a gift.
Since the airship is buoyed by helium, it rises much more slowly than Jin's or Machina's , which both use and .
(Even compared to the latest airships, Makina's airship was fast.)
Fiona Fierce had this impression.
After flying at an altitude of about 200 meters, they arrived at Quonare, the capital of the Principality of Mimaka, in less than an hour.
"Here we are. We're landing."
Gaju Tugga calls out to the pilot.
Fionn Fias thinks to himself, "No blow floaters or balloons have come up to greet us for our official visit,
"Fiona, don't think that we are the same as <> or <>," said Gaju Tudu.
Gaju Tuga warned.
"They suffer from a chronic energy shortage. If it means there is no danger, they are trying not to consume the energy of their precious air power."
"I see."
The airship then landed at an airfield outside the capital, Quonare.
"This is an airfield?"
Fionn Fiasse was stunned.
It looked like nothing more than a wasteland of grass.
"Don't say that. The Principality of Mimaka probably doesn't have that kind of budget. No, it's not so much the budget as the lack of people to use the airfield.
Again, there were no aircraft parked at the airfield except for their airships.
However, an old-fashioned Golem car approached the grassy airfield.
"I see you're here."
Gaju Tsuga, who had visited the airfield several times, muttered to himself.
