## Summary

At the borderlands of the Qua-Toyne Principality where farmland is seen sprawled out, a good harvest is expected by the farmers. An elven girl muses that the Flying Dragon Squadron had been doing some patrols in the area which causes her to be uneased. Elsewhere the at the Qua-Toyne Wyvern Control Tower, an emergency reports comes in from the 6th Flying Dragon Squadron that they have encountered a unit of unknown origin. The knights give the operator in the unit's description but it only confounds them. Since the unknown object is headed towards Maihark, the leader at the tower then commands the operator to scramble their squadron to intercept the unknown and shoot it down.

Soldiers at the walls of Maihark assemble at the walls ready to confront whatever approaches the city. To their surprise the object that comes is an strange object. Having never seen such a thing before the soldiers and knights are bewildered by the sight and the sound it makes. The plane skims above the city before turning away. One knight attempts to shoot at the vehicle using her bow and arrow but finds that it was out of range. The 6th Flying Dragon Squadron have located the plane and are preparing to engage it. The knights then prepare to have their mounts breathe fire at the plane.

Oddly the knights found that the flying object did not attack but instead chose to flee. At the Maihark naval base, a commander wonders what his men encountered unsure if it was alive or even a dragon. As to where it came from it is dismissed that it came from the north-east as nothing exists there but ocean other than the Parpaldia Empire and the only country in conflict with there's is the Louria Kingdom. He is interrupted a messenger comes reporting that the 2nd Fleet detected a large ship of unknown affiliation to have been sighted in the open waters outside of the city.

The Qua-Toyne 2nd Fleet are approach the unknown vessel. The fleet draw near and the captain and his men marvel at the gigantic size of the vessel that resembles a floating fortress. They spot humans at the top decks and soon enough a piece of the deck lowers to sea level allow the commander and some of his men to board. The appearance of the strange ship along with the equipment and people frighten the capatain but he manages to remain calm and orders his men to do the same.

The soldiers from the Principality are greeted by a man who is pleased that they can understand one another. He introduces himself as a member of Japan's foreign ministry. Sadly the name of Japan is not familiar to the commander, which the Japanese official politely understands and explains that just recently his nation was transferred to the current world. He also informs them that Japan discovered the Qua-Toyne Principality thanks to their scout plane, which the Qua-Toyne captain recognizes as the unknown flying object that passed by Maihark. The Japanese official apologizes for his nation's incursion into the Principality's airspace, explaining that his country had no intent for hostility.

News of the the fleet's successful contact with the unknown vessel reach the Maihark naval base and that the new country of Japan wished to establish a dialogue with their nation explain to apologize for their airspace intrusion and to explain their circumstances. When the part of the country of Japan is mentioned, the commander dismisses it as just folklore, but he orders that the missive be passed to the government officials at the capital.

The admiral of the 2nd Fleet passes the message himself at the capital where he greets the ministers. The admiral gives his report on the contact with Japan and how they wish to apologize for their flying aircraft's intrusion. Many of the ministers are in disbelief of Japan, having never heard of such a country and are confused as to why a nation would atone for a hostile action. Some wish to turn them away but the admiral reminds them that their nation the Qua-Toyne Principality though allied with the neighboring Quila Kingdom, the Principality still has to deal with the aggressive Louria Kingdom. He asks them to avoid making another enemy due to their limited resources. The Prime Minister decides to accept the apology and hold bilateral talks with Japan.

At the conference with the Japanese officials, the Prime Minister of the Principality officially accepts Japan's apology before moving onto discussing more about the latter's nation. The Japanese official present some documents to the Principality delegation, only to find that while they speak the same language their written language is different. To move on, the Japanese official provides an oral account of Japan which in now located north east of the Principality. The Minister of Foreign Affairs is shocked that an entire archipelago lies in that direction as he never heard of such a thing. Despite their Japanese telling them it to be true, the minister does not believe him.

Japan offers to invite members of the Principality to see Japan for themselves which the Prime Minister accepts. A delegation is later assigned by the Principality to journey to Japan via their vessel to see the new country for himself. One of the envoys is seen eager to visit Japan having learned that the trip will take only two days.
