Jin, or rather Jin D, joins 's group and the deus ex machina at Tutatare in the Principality of Mimaka.
"Hello, Jin."
"Machina, a while."
Jin D. and Makina greet each other lightly.
"You'll take care of the logistics, right?"
Of course.
In this mission, Jin D is supposed to provide logistical support.
When unforeseen circumstances arise, he is responsible for quickly flying to the site and dealing with the situation.
For this purpose, the 's emergency top speed (officially announced) of 800 km/h is useful.
"We'll use the manaphone to contact you."
"Yes."
This time Makina prepared a portable manaphone. It is about the size of a shoulder bag.
Because of its small size, it has a short communication range of about 100 kilometers.
In fact, they can talk to each other with the built-in <, and before that, the < who is controlling the machina is on Horai Island, so there is no need to communicate with him via communication.
This is just a pause for those who will accompany us.
Next, they greet the members of <>.
Jin-dono, I look forward to working with you again.
"Jin-dono, thank you for your time.
Jin-dono, it has been a long time. I'll see you tomorrow.
Jin D exchanged greetings with the deputy chief superintendent, Ilmina Ratkin, the commander of the land forces, Reveraldo Dartez, and Gromma Tolley.
Participants from the three duchies also arrived and greeted Jin D. "Jin-dono, Jin-dono," they said.
Jin D. said, "Jin-dono, it has been a long time.
Thank you for your logistical support today.
Jean Furusort Laksef, Commander of the 2nd Corps of the Duchy of Norway, and his deputy, Madayim Ruha.
"My name is Nahams Maroh, it is my first time to meet you. I am Nahams Maloh, and it is a pleasure to meet you today.
And Nahams Maloh, Deputy Minister of Technology.
These three are members of the Principality of Norway.
Three people from the Principality of Dalat are also here.
My name is Maingo Morm Zeta.
I'm Yorbal Ithaca. Greetings, Master Zinn.
My name is Jumol Pitch. My name is Jumol Pitch.
Maingo Morm Zeta, Minister of Magical Technology, Yorbal Ithaca, Deputy Commander of the First Order, and Jumol Pitch, Deputy Commander of the Second Order, greeted Jin.
And from the Principality of Mimaka
"I look forward to working with you tomorrow.
Daiki-Yuma Tatsuta, Commander of the Kingsguard.
"Good day to you, Jin-sama."
Vice Minister of the Ministry of Magic, Junki Kitsu Shu.
"You can trust me with your back. I look forward to working with you tomorrow.
The three members of the group are: Boon Sumia, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."
Jin D also returned the greeting.

"Now, am I right to be the leader of this operation?
Illumina Ratkin said, and the other members of the group started to speak as well,
"There is no one else who can lead the group except you, Herr Machina.
"I look forward to working with you.
There were no objections, and so it was decided that Deus ex Machina would be the leader of this .
"Well then, Illumina-dono, I ask you to be the second in command."
I understand. I will serve you with the utmost respect.
Then, a more detailed meeting is held.
"We'll take a multi-purpose vehicle to the mountain."
Makina explains.
< is based on the , a camper Jin had built in the past.
The camping equipment has been replaced with military-grade equipment, but it has the same comfort and power.
It is painted olive drab (greenish black).
It is armed with a magic cannon, a paralyzer, an induction radiator, and a laser cannon.
For auxiliary use, it is equipped with a magijammer, a healing device (treatment mentor), and a barrier generator (barrier projector).
However, it is not equipped with the supercooling (absolute zero) magic tool and the warding bomb.
This is Turtle 1.
"Oh!"
This is not the Aristotle, but the Ardler 1.
< is the same type of transport as Jin's . It is also olive drab.
"You'll be comfortable if you go in this.
It is mid-summer now, not a good time for a march.
< is based on a camper, so it is very comfortable.
The top speed is 100 km/h. You can be in the vicinity of your destination in two hours from Tuttle.
Please get in first.
"Yes, yes."
Hesitantly, we all boarded the <>.
The last one is the deus ex machina.
Okay, Jin.
Take care."
Makina also gets on board, the hatch closes, and the <> starts to drive slowly.
Turtle 1 is gone.
"There they go."
Jin D climbs aboard the Hurricane. The pilot is Hope.
The plane also climbs slowly, stops at about 1000 meters, and waits.
"Now, what's going to happen?"
Just a few days ago, we found a bomb inside the Kingdom of Norway.
Since there is a possibility that there are bombs we haven't found yet, or that something else may have been planted, after consulting with the old man, it is planned to send in the team in case of an emergency.
< team will be able to easily disable and eliminate the magic tools that have been set up.
"No matter what happens, we must avoid human casualties.
Jin, who is piloting Jin D, gives an instruction to the old man.
"You, too, use your peepers and be on the lookout.
Under the backup of Horai Island, the <> was about to begin.
