Mini Reiko followed the drilled hole in the hot spring using the <.
"The inside of the hole is still solid. That's what I'd expect from your father.
After about two minutes, he arrived at the plug in question.
"So this is the <......, but this is ......."
The material seems to be quartz, not metal.
It seems to be made of quartz, rather than metal, which may mean that the material was chosen to be impervious to the hot spring water and various ions. The shape of the object was cylindrical, and it did not seem to have been formed naturally.
"I can't pull it out like this. ...... Shall I deform it a little?"
Mini Reiko can also use engineering magic.
"<>"
The quartz plug is deformed and made a little thinner. Mini Reiko grabs it and backs up.
If she does not do so, the hot spring water may not overflow because she has pulled out the stopper.
Of course, the hot spring water will not help the mini Reiko.
The mini-samurai uniform she was wearing was made of the same rare material as the original one, and it did not tear, allowing Reiko to return safely to the surface where Jin was waiting for her.
"I'm back!
Reiko, welcome home.
Here's the plug. It was a little thicker, but I made it thinner.
Thank you.
Jin thanked Reiko for her work and accepted the stopper.
Yuzo, the village chief, looked at the mini Reiko in surprise and without a word.
Jin was oblivious to this,
"A quartz plug. ......Who in the world could have put that in there?"
At that moment, there was the sound of hot spring water overflowing.
"Oh, it's coming out, it's coming out!"
First gurgling, then gurgling.
At that time, the village head finally came to his senses,
"Oh, this is it! Thank you, Mr. Jin of ......! We can't stay like this! We have to get people together and restore the hot springs! Excuse me!"
The overjoyed chief rushed out of the village without a word of thanks to Jin. Jin looked over at him with a wry smile,
"I've almost finished the job," he said.
He then used his engineering magic to penetrate the clogged drainage ditch.
He then used his engineering magic to penetrate the clogged drain.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin.
Licia-Licia thanked me as we left the hot spring and walked through the village.
"......It's not my family's land anymore, but I still wanted to thank you."
"Yes, I know how you feel."
Jin smiled and accepted the thank-you.
After that, Jin and his friends almost finished the project.
After that, Jin and his group looked around the almost completed ryokan and the town that had been improved.
"The sewage system and septic system are in good working order."
Jin was also concerned about this infrastructure, since it was related to public health.
"If we're going to have a lot of guests, we have to make sure they're in good working order, don't we?
"That's right."
Lithia nodded.
"Now, where else should we look?
Jin checked with Lithia, who was walking next to him.
"Well, I've got a general idea of what the village looks like, and the documents are at ......."
"Well, if you want to look at them, you can use the peepers later.
Lithia wanted to know how the village's tax revenues and budget were being spent.
"But I don't think we need to go that far."
"Yes, that's right."
At the sound of Jin's voice, which sounded a little stunned, Lithia nodded her head in embarrassment.
"Well then, let's go check out the flying field.
After looking around, Lithia seemed satisfied, so Jin suggested.
"Oh, let's do that.
The quality of the flying field is important.
Especially if you are going to be here for many more air races.
The flying field is a gently rolling grassland on the west side of the village.
There are hills, but the maximum difference in elevation is only about 20 meters. The terrain stretches about 20 km from east to west and 8 km from north to south.
To the west, the terrain rises and becomes a mountainous area with the Kutsud mine.
The northern part is a small mountain range that separates the basin where the village of Kayna is located from the village of Toka, and the southern part gently drops in elevation and becomes a road, with the towns of Raknow and Doppa.
The inland area was suitable for flying competitions because the winds were light when the weather was clear.
"Oh, they built the spectator seats on that hill.
The spectator seats were built on a natural slope and could accommodate about 1,000 people.
"There are VIP seats too?"
Jin guessed that they were probably for the royal family of the Klein Kingdom or similar invited guests.
"There's also a roof to protect them from the sun.
"Yes. Since the event would be postponed in case of rain, there would be no need for a rain shelter.
At the moment, a large was being installed.
"Now, the problem will be the legs of the customers," he said.
Jin thinks that since it's an air race, it would be better to operate extra flights.
"If <> rents it out,......, this will only increase the burden on Mr. Tomax. Let's have ...... deus ex machina do it."
The <> of the Machina is a large airship 100 meters long.
If we use it to transport our guests,.......
"...... No. Perhaps this one will stand out more."
Jin dismissed the idea, imagining that <> would have more impact than an air race.
"Then, maybe a bus-type golem car. ......"
Fortunately, the village of Kaina is located in the area, and the roads are well maintained, so there seems to be no obstacle to the operation of the vehicles.
"I'll have Makina give it to you as a congratulatory gift for holding the first race."
"Wouldn't that be a good idea, father?"
As she was riding on Jin's shoulder, she heard his whispered soliloquy and Mini Reiko agreed with him.
"Then let's do that."
Jin and Lithia, who had been walking around, had returned to the airfield where they had parked <>.
"Rishi ...... Lithia, are you done?"
"Yes. "Yes. Mr. Jin, thank you very much.
"Yes, Mr. Jin, thank you very much. Then let's go home.
It was 5:30 p.m. in Toka village, and the sky was getting dark.
Jin, Mini-Reiko, and Lithia got on board, and the <> slowly soared into the evening sky.
"I guess it's time for dinner at Hourai Island. ......Sky2, I'm sorry, but I'm going back to the warp gate first. You take your time to return."
"Yes, sir. I'll leave it to you."
So, Jin and Mini-Reiko go to Horai Island by the Warp Gate equipped with .
Licia is still on board since she is a doppelganger. Of course, Licia, who had been piloting the ship, left the pilot's seat and left the rest of the work to the old man.
Jin and Licia reported the current situation of Toka village to everyone at the dinner that night.
