The Mansion used by Ain remains in Strom.

It's true that we didn't have to destroy it, but there was a plan to treat this place as Ain's mansion.Although there was talk of opening it as the lord's mansion once, it was said that the person who used it was Ain and the one who succeeded him quit.

----From the window of Ain's villa.

"Mr. Majorica, the evacuation is going well."

Chris looked outside and said to Majorica, who was sitting on the sofa behind him.

Yes, yes, we're ready too.

Well, shall we go now?

Hey, did you just clean it up?

They were wearing combat gear.Though it was an escort mission to Chris, it wasn't that difficult, so he wasn't wearing any special equipment.

However, for this occasion, I kept spare equipment in this villa.

"The problem is Gulm. I don't know what to do if I come."

"We're going to try to destroy as many of them as possible."

"Oh my... I wonder if you're alright...", he asked foolishly.Chris is not just an adventurer. "

"Yes, I've polished my sword for these times."

Even a first-class adventurer can't compete with her.

If Chris was slightly inferior to Lloyd, one step below the top of the great Ishtalica, Gulm would have been fine.

"By the way, what if they attack you at the same time?"

"... it might not be good."

"Hey, hey!? What are you going to do!?You don't even know if you're an imbecile monster, but if you're as good as that, you'll have to work together! "

"Ahahah... I have to guide you in order not to do so.There's a magic weapon in this town, and I'm not thinking anything about it. "

"Of course I will... hah, I'll have to do it"

What bothers me is the giant crystal tower that appears on the coastal terrain.

I remember Chris and Majorica.It was very similar to what happened to the Hidden Dungeon when Celestina appeared.

As a result, there are parts where you wonder if it is okay to make the same judgment as usual.

Fortunately, here in Stram, not far from the King's Landing, there are plenty of supplies and plenty of places and routes for residents to evacuate.

And there were many adventurers.

In the future, the Strom was built to be as accessible as possible to all major cities, and many adventurers still use or ride water trains today.

For many of these reasons, he endured the attack, including many names.

Patience until the support from King's Landing arrives.

Chris nodded in Majorica's words.

"No, it's not going to be that easy just for this raid."

Marco, who was supposed to be with Ain, came to this room where they were dressed.

----Unlike usual, the tuxedo he wore today was all dirty with monster fluids.

"Marco!? Why are you here!?"

"After consulting with Ain, I was secretly beside Chris.I'm late because I've been checking up on the situation near Strom. "

"... it looks like I've been doing a lot of things behind closed doors, but this time it's been helpful.So, Marco said he saw what was going on outside. "

Marko approaches Chris and folds his knees.

"─ ─ It is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible for this Strom to escape now."

"What happened?"

"Ever since the first and second evacuees escaped from Strom using water trains and the like, the surroundings have been surrounded by an army of monsters that has never existed before."

Of course, Chris is checking the surroundings before evacuating the people.That's why we were acting as if we were evacuating by land, but soon after many of the people had evacuated, Marco said the situation changed.

"Then the rest of the people will be evacuated around the Mansion."

Chris did not panic at all, but rather said as he had expected.

The side face was ridiculous, and the dust didn't feel lost.

"Chris, you too...."

"I thought it might happen.That's why I told the knights to guide evacuation around the Mansion in case of trouble. "

The Mansion is surrounded by many magic weapons as well as knights and commissioned adventurers.Less than a few minutes from now, many people were escorted by knights and adventurers.

"What we do remains unchanged.The airship should be here any minute, just to crush the monsters and protect the people. "

"Don't worry, Lord Majorica.I have a few man-eaters in my custody from Ain-sama, so it's no problem. "

"Oh my... you're loved... by Christina"

"What are you suddenly doing!?Are you seditious to me who has never been told you like a word!? "

"Yes? Haven't they told you yet?"I don't know anymore." "I don't know!Come on, let's go! "

Majorica looked at Chris walking out of her crotch and sighed for several times, turning her eyes from Chris to Marco.

Stand up and approach him.

"Shouldn't I just say a few words to His Highness?"

"It's okay. You two aren't so pessimistic that we have to talk. And..."

Besides, what?

Majorica, who knew Chris from a long time ago, asked him in a quiet tone.

But Marco says he can rest assured.

After Chris, who had walked away earlier, he left the Mansion, looking up at the crystal tower as he approached her.

"Soon."

He said this and avoided any kind of explicit statement.

Majorica then thinks about the character and personality of a man named Ain, with complex emotions.

It's about him. It was not long before I concluded that I would not betray my expectations...

"Then I'll wait.Now we have to fight the army of monsters. "

"You're right, we're rushing this strom..."

Marco closed his mouth and looked up at the crystal tower.And so was Majorica, who was next door, and Chris, who was here earlier.

... the three eyes saw three lights running up the side of the crystal tower.

That must be the light generated by Gulm's rushing up the crystal tower.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

At the same time, Ain had just left the village and finished the mountain trail.

Lorraine had his first experience at this time.It was an invaluable experience for farmers and fishermen to carry their bags on their shoulders in the morning, and then Ain carried them through the mountains.

Okay. Okay.

----The lab that came was a big space dozens of times what Ain thought it was.

The biggest lab I've ever seen is the one owned by the Golden Route, built underground in Birdland's Grand Arena.

Ain imagined the scale, but it's dozens of times what I thought it would be.

The surroundings are shaped like a whole of the surrounding mountains. For example, they are large enough to accommodate the castle, which is the largest structure in Ishtalica.

"Ah, that's Bahamut...!"

Roland pointed to the center of this huge lab.

The crystal of wisdom that settles there.

"It's so big... it's still unfinished..."

Dill was stunned and spontaneously shouted.

Ain lost his words of surprise next door, and Roland opened his mouth as he walked.

"Black Dragon Ship Bahamut. The diameter is much larger than the grounds of the Imperial Castle, and it is a gigantic battleship several times its total height."

Ein and Dill follow him.

"As you can see, it's completely different from conventional ships and airships."

The whole thing looks like an umbrella, as shown in the blueprint.

Hada is also mysterious as a priest wearing a vest and boasts a black body with round wings to cover his body.

The innumerable tubes stretching from the lab's outer frames are constantly pouring in glowing liquid and constantly supplying magic to the loyalty of the Bahamas.

----- God of Machinery.

One of Lorraine's inventions is the huge heart of Bahamut.

It is now embedded and invisible, but its appearance resembles that of the human heart and stretches several tubes to the entire body of the Bahamas, the very nucleus.

However, the Bahamas is still unfinished and incomplete.

As a matter of fact, only a few weapons are equipped for exclusive use.

"I'll do the pilot.----Actually, there's still no one who can fly satisfactorily by surprise. "

"I knew it was hard."

"Hmm... it's difficult, in terms of safety."

"That means the weapon is as powerful as it can be."

"Well, you see, there's a pattern on top of the wings that extend from top to bottom."

I can tell even from afar. Indeed, Roland's pattern was engraved on all the wings.

"That's one of the controls.In other words, the wing itself is a weapon.----I hope I don't get the chance to use it, but if I do, I think I'll be able to show it to the public. "

"... I understand. For now, as far as I'm concerned, it's enough to move fast."

"Ah, then don't worry. Calculatively, Leviathan should be a few times faster."

The three legs stop at the center of the lab to climb up a hierarchy of floors from bottom to top.

As you get into the full-glass lift, you approach a height with an entrance to the Bahamas.

More like a dock than a lab.

Eventually, the lift stopped and several researchers approached on the three descending levels.

Everyone was surprised to see Ain, but soon Roland opened his mouth to surprise everyone further.

"Prepare for takeoff."

The researchers were clever, but they were quick to understand.In addition to Ain's presence here, I immediately understood the urgency of the situation, based on the story that nearby villages and towns had been attacked.

When they move at once, they rush to the magic tools lined up next to the glass walls and work on complicated manipulation that Ain and the others don't understand.

"Actually, it's the first time you've take-off."

"Yeah... you're laughing so much."

"Ahahah! It's okay! It's okay! You're still a little off the ground, aren't you?It's just going to get even higher, don't worry! "

I'm sure that's what Roland says, but a strange icon won't stop the smile from twitching.

However, while this was happening, the preparations for take-off seemed to be proceeding without delay.

One pipe, or one pipe, comes off, and the liquid left in the pipe slightly runs into the sky, wetting the lowest floor.

"How is the god of machines?"

"No problem!"

"The whole enchantment has already been supplied through the internal machinery!One more minute to get to takeoff! "

"Good, we're going to make it."

The behavior of the Bahamas is slightly increased.It was about a few meters old, but it shakes the wings like a vest wrapped in a longitudinal body and drifts sparkling magical grains from the wings.

Fantastic looks like a good guy with diamond dust.

I kept ringing a bell... like a bell.

I heard it coming from the inside of the Bahamas, and it sounded like a baby staring at Ain and breastfeeding.

"Ein, it's time to go to Tarap."

"Ah, ahh... Ryuka"

... I want you to wake me up because I'm a baby.

Roland's words were remembered in Ain's head.
