Eleonore and her group, who were completely cleaned off sweat and dirt, praised the hot water in the large bath.
“The bath was wonderful. I wonder how many days it’s been since I’ve had such a bath… When I first saw you guys, I was surprised at how clean you were even though you travelled in the desert. I never would have imagined that the reason for that was because you were taking a bath on a flying ship.”
Looks like they were able to soak in it for a long time.
“The meal is also ready.”
“Even a meal!?”
The magical airship also contained an automatic cooking machine that I had made in my previous life. All you have to do is throw in the ingredients and specify what you want to eat.
“It’s buffet style. Just pick whatever you want to eat and put it in your plate.”
“Salads, appetizers, soups, meat dishes, fish dishes, pasta, bread, desserts……!? It must have been a lot of work to prepare so many dishes! Or rather, how did you make it in such a short time? Is there perhaps a chef on board this ship……?”
“There’s a chef-like guy here. Not a human though.”
“A chef who is not a human!?”
“Yeah. Anyways, forget about the details, eat quickly. Getting good nutrition is also an important task for Oneechan and the others now.”
“I see…… then we’ll take up on your offer.”
Eleonore nodded a little hesitantly.
She must have been hungry as she puts a mountain of food on her plate from the first round. Her companions followed suit as well.
“““Y-yummmmy!?”””
“It taste much better than the ones in the guild’s cafeteria!?”
“In fact, it’s better than the food in the royal palace…… -uh!”
They seemed to be satisfied with the taste.
Eleonore and the others ate their food without hesitation. I thought I have prepared a considerable amount, but in no time at all, the platter on which the food was placed was wiped clean.
“There’s still more to come, so you can keep eating.”
“““Ooooh!”””
Loud cheers echoed out.
Oh~, it looks like they are going to eat a lot more. Eventually, they were full, so I suggested that they take a short nap.
“You can use the bed in a private room as you like.”
After taking a bath and filling their stomachs, they must have been quite drowsy due to fatigue. Without hesitation anymore, they disappeared into their private rooms.

“Thanks to you, my body has healed completely. I’m really thankful for everything.”
“Don’t worry about it. By the way, I’m starting to see something that looks like an oasis.”
“What!? We already arrived!? Normally, it would have taken a few days to get there….…”
The flying ship arrived at a small oasis.
“There should be soldiers over there…… Provided that they made it there safely.”
Eleonore, who knew that she would eventually need a force to regain her country, escaped from the royal palace and ordered the soldiers of the kingdom’s army to flee as well.
If they were safe, they would gather at this designated oasis.
“Looking at it, I can see a figure like that.”
The moment I said that, an alarm sounded.
【A dangerous storm has been identified to the right. It’s approaching towards us. 】
Such an announcement is played on the airship.
“Storm? You mean that!?”
It was a tornado of ferocious sand. It is approaching this airship at a breakneck speed.
“If this continues, we will crash into it…… Uwa!”
“It’s okay, Eleonore-oneechan. This airship isn’t vulnerable enough to be hit by a tornado of that magnitude. I think it’s going to shake a little bit though.”
“No! You’re mistaken! It’s not just a tornado!”
“Huh?”
Eleonore, who has turned pale, explained with trembling voice,
“The cause of that tornado was a vicious monster hiding in the sand! It’s the monster that stands at the top of this desert’s ecosystem and is the one most feared by travelers… the Sand Whale!”
Immediately afterwards, the sand at the base of the tornado swelled greatly, and a huge body comparable in size to this airship jumped out of it.
