"So we need to use a teleporter to get there? I was expecting you to just teleport us, Vera."

"Yes. Unlike our town, Emzusai is accessible to anyone and it's not limited to one race, or just their guests. So the Gods decided to create an easy way to travel to it. However, there is another way, but that way is much slower. Ah, there's one now!"

She pointed to the right and there was a giant flying ship. From here I could see that it was mostly made out of wood and metal, however, there were magical properties in those materials. Interesting, it seemed large enough to hold a lot of passengers.

"I see. How long does it take to travel from here to Emzusai?"

"Around three to four hours? There are a lot of activities and bars on the ship so you won't be bored. It's just like those luxury cruise ships humans have in their world. I guess this is first class treatment? But it's quite cheap, it's just €10 per person, children under the age of 13 are €5 each."

"Hmmm, that seems like a pretty good deal. But I'll assume you'll pay for some of those activities as well as food and drinks?"

Vera nods, and we silently watch the flying ship sail away? Or is it fly away...? Well, whatever. I can use that when I return, but first things first. I look down at the streets below, and they were bustling with life.

"Okay, so how do we get down there?"

Vera nodded before jumping down onto the streets below us. I shake my head and sigh. I grab Rose and carry her.

"Eh? Eh?"

Although she was clearly confused, I glanced at my companions and jumped down. Rose looked at me confused.

"I-I could have jumped down myself you know..."

"I wanted to hold you."

"..."

She blushed at my answer but didn't say anything in return except pull herself closer to me.

"My, to think you would flirt as we fall. You certainly are strange, Jin."

"There is and was no rule that stated I couldn't flirt while on the job."

Isis snorted at my answer, but we eventually landed on the ground. No one was surprised. I believe this is a common occurrence. Beside us was a food vendor. I also let Rose down as she was starting to poke me rapidly in the chest.

"That makes it the 17th one today. Hey there, do you guys want some kofta kebabs?"

"Seventeenth?"

"Kofta kebabs?"

The man asks and Inaie repeated in a more questioning manner. He nods.

"Oh? You must be a tourist then missy! Kofta kebabs are essentially lamb or goat meatballs on a stick. It's quite popular both in the human world and here. 17th as in you're the 17th group to jump down here. Anyway, what do you say?"

Inaie looks at me ardently. I also look at Vera and she was also gazing at the food while drooling a bit...... We just had breakfast, you guys. Seeing as how they probably wouldn't budge, I bought everyone two, including the ones who didn't say anything.

"Thanks fer yer' business!"

The man was quite pleased with himself. They were quite inexpensive, so they weren't too shabby. He also decided to cook a fresh batch, so they were 'fresh' I guess. After getting our food we walked away with Vera leading us.
