## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

Misono and his assistant Saeki traveled long sea on the Japan Coast Guard patrol boat *Akitsushima* to Mu for requesting to open diplomatic relations. Myrus met them in the envoys’ room at the Ainank Airport and led them to the airport’s hangar. He explained them about Mu’s premier, state-of-the-art biplane, Marin. He looked at the reactions of Misono and Saeki, who were looking at the Marin with mouths wide open and astonished faces. Saeki got excited when he saw a Marin's proper radial, reciprocating engine as retro.

Myrus was bothered by Saeki’s labeling of the Marin and asked him there was any other options besides the reciprocating engine. He told him Japan has a purpose-built, high-output engine for flight known as a “jet engine.” They also have their reciprocal engine models, but the functional steam engines were relics they kept around for preserving old trains. Then Misono explained to Myrus about the jet engine, which can reach speeds Mach 2.5, or two and half times the speed of sound, and passenger plane cruise at about 850 kph. Myrus was speechless that they could break the speed of sound as impossible.

Myrus led them outside the hangar, and an automobile awaited them. He was going to show it off to them as he took them back to the hotel, but all he felt was dread. Misono and Saeki boarded the vehicle nonchalantly. When he asked them that Japan also has cars, Saeki responded last collected data three years ago, but back then there were about fifty-nine million passenger cars in active use in Japan. Myrus believed their roads must be completely clogged with million cars, but Misono told them there was called a traffic signal system.

Myrus was exhausted, mentally. Traveling through leveled roads, the luxury hotel finally came to view. After the driver had stopped in front of the entrance, the three men entered the hotel. Myrus told them that he would go over Mu's history and navy. After a brief rundown of how to use the room’s functions and the various etiquettes, he saw the Misono and Saeki to their rooms before leaving the hotel.

On the next day, Misono and Saeki arrived at the Mu History Museum. Myrus began to lecture them smoothly. He placed a globe prepared by museum staff on top of a table, which happened twelve thousand years when a phenomenon they now called the Great Continental Transference occurred what is now known as the continent of Mu was transported to this world from their former planet. Misono and Saeki were both fixated on it. Misono gasped at the familiar geographic patterns that it was the Earth.

The continent there was called Atlantis were Earth’s where Antarctica must not have been covered in ice. Myrus pointed to four large islands that were gathered near the supercontinent of Eurasia that a country called Yamuto, which was one of Mu's former allies, who fought against the Atlantis. Misono told him that Japan came from planet Earth where the four islands Myrus pointed to were their country. Saeki produced the current maps of Japan and a Mercator projection map of Earth from his bag and handed them over to Misono, who put them on the table for Myrus to see. Misono continued the explanation of Japan and the earth in place of Myrus, who was completely speechless.

After Misono and Saeki listened in on the explanations with earnestness, they left the museum and proceeded to the naval base. Myrus guided them to the port where Mu Navy’s new La Kasami-class battleship with two pairs of 30.5cm cannons was docked. Saeki merrily shouted Misono out that A battleship was without a doubt a man’s romance. Misono calmed him from his excitement and believed that did look exactly like the memorialized battleship Mikasa, which launched a hundred and ten years ago. Myrus caught wind of the discussion when he heard that the La Kasami bore a striking resemblance to something. He wondered why did Japanese warship only have one cannon equipped on it what he remembered Japan’s warship that was magically photographed in the Louria Kingdom. He decided to try probing for the answer that Japan also has battleships. Saeki replied with a hint of sadness that Japan had a splendid battleship last about seventy years ago. After we lost that World War, nations have moved on, and Japan had not built any new battleships since. Hearing Saeki’s answer, Myrus’s head exploded with questions to plan on deploying battleships in the future after Japan had transferred to a new world. Misono, who almost broke into a laugh, flatly replied that Japan had no plan to build any of the battleships at all. After Myrus concluded his tour with Misono and Saeki, he submitted a report to his superiors.
