Everyone! For the flying machine to land safely, it needs a long and perfectly straight road. If you wish to send back that person, who had done such a great deed, back to the ground, kindly move at least three of the statues. It will be even more helpful if you move four of them.

Re: “Land of Wizards” ─Potentials of Magic─
Was there room in the cockpit for more than one person?
[They... they aren't so sure about that.]
