Originally, Rubina had been brought here as a reward for Goh and Rubina's excellent finals performance in the airplane competition on Onogoro Island.
But unexpected things happened, such as Goh being adopted by the Nido family, and after getting involved in an accident on the way back from a visit to <>, he ended up rescuing a girl named Merce, who is of imperial blood. ...... It's about time," he said.
"I think it's time to get Rubina back to Amanda's. ......"
"...... because she's getting along so well with Mertze?"
"Yeah. I feel sorry for her."
"Well, why don't you invite Amanda over? We talked yesterday, so I think she'll remember a little bit about us."
"I think that would be good. ......"
At first, I was acting as a surrogate parent for Merce. We were initially thinking of calling one of Meane, Martha, or Amanda to take Melze's place, but it seems that Jenny will be able to take that role.
So for now, we will keep Rubina here for a while longer, purely as a friend of Merce's, and invite Amanda, our only family member, here so that she will not be alone for too long.
"Well, I guess we'll bring Amanda here, then."
"Yes, I think that would be good.
So Jin asked Erza to take care of the rest, and they were about to go to Onogoro Island. .......
"I wonder if it's still nighttime over there."
He realized that it was still nighttime over there.
The time difference between Onogoro Island and Loisart is about 6 hours and 40 minutes.
It is after 9:00 a.m. now, so it must be before 3:00 a.m. on Onogoro Island.
"It would have to be about 3:00 p.m."
"I think it would be better if you tell them in advance."
"Yes, I think so. I think it would be better to have him tell me in advance.
So, the old man contacted , the chief magic brain in charge of Onogoro Island, and asked to inform Amanda of the situation.
"Tester will tell Amanda when she wakes up.
"Yes, I'll take care of it."
With this, the immediate problem was solved.
"Well then, I guess I'll take Merce somewhere.
Jin is not going to stay here forever. Neither does Rubina.
So, Jin thought of using the <> to take her on an air trip, as a distraction and to help her get used to the Nido family.
"Goh, Rubina, Daikie, and Cocona would be nice to have with us," he said.
"And Jenny, too," he said.
Yes.
The question remains, where to go?
How about a scenic flight?
Erza said that instead of going to a specific place, it might be a good idea to fly in a circle over the Shoro Empire.
Jin decided to adopt Elsa's idea, thinking that it might be a good experience to look at his homeland from the sky.
"Well, uh, I've never done a scenic flight ...... before. ......
When I first approached Merce, he looked at me as if he didn't know what I was talking about.
"Mel-chan, let's go. It's fun, right?"
"Ummm, yes. ...... if Rubina says so."
"That's a deal!"
Rubina pushes Melze's back, and it is decided that they will go on a scenic flight.
"Oh, I'm going to ...... too?
"Yes, let's all go together."
"Oh, yes. Let's all go together." "Oh, yes. I'm ......, thank you.
And so, lunch was prepared, and a little after 10 a.m. the took off into the skies of Leuthart.
"Wow ......, ah ......! Wow ......!"
"Right?"
Meltze was thrilled to see the view from the sky for the first time.
She was so impressed that she stuck to the window, looking far away and down below.
"Wow, ...... that's Lake Tosmo! If so, that's the village of Raa'a ......."
It seems that the first thing he does is to look for his ...... home.
< flew over the village of Raa'a and then slowly headed north.
"...... surprised me. It's nice to look down from a high place. It's a different world now."
It was the first time for Yenny to fly, too, and she seemed to be quite impressed, although she did not show it as much as Merce.

To the north of the Shoro Kingdom lies the <>.
Starting from the former Leonard Kingdom in the far east, it forms the northern border of the small group of countries, drops in elevation near the border between the Shoro Kingdom and the Franz Kingdom, and then rises in elevation again, although it is divided by the Sokki River, and extends to the north of the Hariri Desert.
Now it is winter, and the Kruger Mountains are covered with silvery white snow and rise like a folding screen.
The hurricane flew toward them.
"Come on, let's have lunch."
The time was just before noon.
Cocona spreads out the ...... sandwiches she has prepared on the table in the cabin of the <>.
"Here you go, too."
Reiko handed out Persica juice, which was always available on board the <>, to everyone.
Incidentally, during this lunch, the cabin is unobtrusively shaken by a so that the passengers do not notice it.
"Oh, this is delicious, Mel.
"Yes, it's ...... delicious."
"Goh, try this one too. It has Cocona's signature egg salad on it.
"Oh, it's delicious."
"Yes, it's good. The ham is good, too.
"Yes. And the vegetables are fresh.
Um, may I join you?
Please. I can take care of everyone on my own.
Yes, .......
Yenny is amazed to see Reiko serving the meal by herself at ...... twice the speed of a human being, and is not sure if she is allowed to eat with everyone else. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to eat with everyone.
"You'll have to get used to that.
"Yes, ma'am."
Cocona tells Yennie that this is the Nido family style, but Yennie is still puzzled.
