Ｃａｕｄｒｏｎ Ｃ．６３０ Ｓｉｍｏｕｎ．
Registered name "F-ANRY".
The airplane that author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry boarded.
Its elaborate wooden model.
Was something that Utsumi Erice kept as a memento of her father.
De Saint-Exupéry was taking on the challenge of flying the Paris-Saigon race course with this airplane when he crashed at the Libya Desert and had to make an emergency landing. It was said that the disastrous experience at the time gave him the idea for his novel "The Little Prince".
De Saint-Exupéry, an airplane lover by nature, still bought a new airframe even if he had to take on debts after the crash. He experienced many falls and accidents throughout his lifetime just like that, and eventually had his engagement broken off due to his circumstances at age 23.
At age 35, he crashed at a desert and survived for 4 days with 1 day-worth of water before he was rescued by a Bedouin nomad.
And then, at 44, during an army scouting mission with an unarmed plane, he was shot down, and eventually declared deceased.
Despite already being a renowned novelist, he longed for the sky with all his heart, and was a beloved pilot.
"...Well, as they say, there is such kind of anecdote.
The model of that crashed plane is quite ugly, but I really like it."
Balloon Scimitar
"In the name of the god of great gate and key, give me power. Give me power. Give me power."
Originally a half-moon shaped sword named after a sage from the land of dreams, its construction method can be traced back to the literary fragments of a grimoire known as the "Necronomicon." It's a tool used for various rituals, and it normally requires extreme care when handled. Yet it's been arranged in a way that it could be conveniently carried for summer excursions...it has turned into an inflatable scimitar.
To use it, the wielder needs to personally fill it with their own breath to inflate it. During this process, nobody else may give them a hand.
"Shall we call forth summer here? The sound of the waves swelling...under the privacy of the shade. For a brief moment, may an unforgettable summer between just the two of us arrive..."
