An hour later, at the royal capital, Lynn stepped into the Magic Research Institute and was warmly received by Deputy Director Tim, who took over as acting director after Vittorio left.
When Tim learned that Lynn had come looking for Dennis, he began to pour out his complaints.
"Assemblyman Lynn, this time you'd better also persuade Master Dennis. He was doing quite well with his propeller aircraft, continuously increasing its top speed with very pleasing results, the maximum cruising speed was approaching four hundred kilometers per hour. Yet, for some reason, he abruptly switched to researching a kind of explosive thruster..."
The Alchemy Research Institute was initially supportive of Dennis's new endeavor, but his explosive thruster was as volatile as its name suggested...
In the past year, there had not been a single day of peace in the lab allocated to Dennis: small-scale explosions were incessant, and at worst, the lab had suffered complete destruction.
