Having basically nothing to do until the arrival at the moon, Jin and Erza disconnected the controls and got up from their seats.
"Phew."
After all, flying in space was a bit nerve-wracking, even if it was with a doppelganger.

Next to him, Erza also got up and looked at Jin, blushing.
After all this time, she seems to be aware of what was said in the observation room.
"Father, Miss Elsa. Please have some tea."
Reiko brings me a cup of genmaicha (brown rice tea).
Reiko has remained on the ground to protect Jin in the flesh.
Instead, Anne, Lol, and Lefa are aboard .

As we descend in altitude, more details emerge.
The surface is rock, gravel, and sand, with no signs of life.
There seems to be no air, but white areas that look like dry ice can be seen in some places, suggesting that there may have been an atmosphere in ancient times.
As it orbits, some values are also measured.
.
The measurements are the same as those taken during the last visit.
This is another great mystery of the Moon.
Eventually, they plan to drop to 1000 kilometers, but they have no intention of landing.
For this kind of situation, there are ten 10-meter class spacecraft of the same type as the <> on board.
Astro and his crew, small 40-centimeter-class space golems, are in charge of piloting the ships.
The three ships, <><><>, are launched from the hangar of <>.
