After Princess Lizabeth took her nanny automata <> to her apartment, Jin began to discuss the price with his father King Mericolance I, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Magic and Technology.
"Jin, Jin-dono, what is the price for <>?
At this point, Jin, as usual, felt he had made a mistake.
He should have set the price first, but all he had discussed were the specifications.
If he had said, "I'll leave it to you," he would have been in trouble.
After all, you have handed over a national treasure, a legendary automaton, and you have left its evaluation to them.
It is a similar thing to the saying in a restaurant, <>.
We cannot show a low price for a quality that everyone recognizes.
"El ......na, what do you think?"
Jin asked Erna, the doppelganger of Elsa, who was sitting next to him.
It is not unusual for the wife to hold the purse strings.
In fact, that is one of the reasons, but Erza herself is on Horai Island, so she can easily consult with the old man.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
<>.
The old man advises Elsa.
>
The mines developed by Horaijima will bring profit to the Kingdom of Klein from now on.
* * * * * *
"Oh, is that right?"
Meanwhile, Jin and the others.
When Erna mentioned the idea of the old man, the king and the other people present at the meeting were surprised.
"Yes. For those of us who make things, materials are sometimes more appreciated than money.
There is another hidden effect to this story that the old man thought of and Erna proposed to him.
It is that the area around Toka village can be developed by the Horai Islanders.
During the period of one month when the mining rights are obtained, the development of the surrounding area can be done by Jin's hands.
However, the inspector from the Kingdom of Klein will come, but he will not oppose the development that will be beneficial to his country.
Jin plans to build a smelting plant to smelt the mined ore and an airfield where airships can take off and land to transport the ore.
The smelting plant will be sold to the Klein Kingdom at a low price, and the airfield will be useful when the volunteers of the Nordic Federation arrive during the air race.
Furthermore, the airfield will be given to the Kutsud mine as a reward for the rare ore or the large amount of good quality ore that was extracted from the mine.
Even if such ores are not extracted, I was also thinking of secretly transferring them from Horai Island to .......
"The Kutsudo mine, huh? It doesn't seem to be a problem.
The king said,
"No, that's a tapered mine. I'm rather concerned that it might not be too profitable for Jin-dono.
The finance minister said.
This opinion was expressed by the king, who ordered us not to hide anything from him.
"Don't worry about that. < makes it possible to mine in places where human miners cannot, such as in deep places or places with poor air quality.
Jin replies.
"Oh ...... indeed."
Jin-dono had a golem, didn't he?
The people of the Klein Kingdom now understood that the tunnels that Jin had cleared would be of benefit to them as well.
"Indeed, materials are the best way to thank Jin-dono, who makes things."
It seemed that Jin had succeeded in convincing the people who did not know that he had resources from Horai Island and asteroids that resources were what he wanted most, since he did not have a large territory.

The dinner was attended by the King, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Administration, the Minister of Magical Technology, and the court-appointed healer for Jin, Erna, Reiko, Zion D (doppelganger), and Makina.
Norma Dope Harcourt and Catherine Pillar Grosin were present for Jin and Makina, as they had been yesterday, and Marielle Racca Pactola was present for Erna.
Norma's attitude toward Makina was the same as yesterday, but Catherine was a little distant from Jin. This is probably due to the presence of his wife Erna.
Marielle, who is accompanying Erna, is a court-appointed apprentice healer. Marielle, who is with Erna, is a court-appointed apprentice healer. She seems to be a quiet person by nature, and Erna is not very talkative, so there has not been much conversation between them.
"But I am glad that the world is at peace.
King Mericarance I blurted out to Zion D. "Yes, I am, <>," he said.
"Yes, now that the rebellion of the League of Magic is over, we can look forward to cultural development in the future.
The people in the pew nodded their heads in agreement with Zion D's words.
"Four hundred years ago, the Nordic Federation was behind the nations of the Laurentian Continent. But with the help of the Magecraft Meisters of that time, we were able to make great progress.
"Yes, that's right. And we have been misled by the and others, and our cultural civilization has been greatly damaged.
Mericarance I responded to Zion D's words with regret.
"Your country is better than ours in many ways now. I envy you."
The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications says in a deep voice.
But the way he said it, it sounded as if he was saying, .
The Prime Minister broke out in a cold sweat.
But now Zion ...... is attending Zion D, but ...... was an adult.
He has the ability to let a word or two of gibberish slide.
The Prime Minister, sensing this, bowed his head in his heart.
Jin looked at Zion and Mericarance I without looking at them. Naturally, he also saw the queen sitting opposite him with Mericarance I on her side.
My first impression was that she was a calm person.
That was my first impression. Blond hair and green eyes. Princess Lizabeth looks like her mother, Jin thought.
Erna has started to talk with Marielle Raqqa Pactra, albeit slowly.
"I think that ...... healing magic still has room for improvement."
"What do you mean?"
"...... For example, I think it would be good if there was a medical examination magic that could instantly determine the usage needed by the patient."
"Oh, yes, that would certainly be nice."
The content was about healing magic, and not a social one, but this was fine, and Jin didn't interfere.
The only problem was that the conversation was a little depressing since it was with Jin in the middle of it.
The dinner party went off without any problems.
The dinner party went off without any problems, and Jin and the others were relaxing in the guest room.
But I didn't expect Erza to join in with her doppelgänger. ...... Oh, I mean so soon."
I knew Jin would be preparing a doppelganger soon," laughed Zion D. "But Erza, I don't think she's going to be able to do it.
"But Erza, or is it Erna now? It's a good job, isn't it? A person who sees her will recognize her as Erza, but the general public won't be able to tell that she is the same person.
"Well, now we can follow my brother Jin outside."
"Yes. Now we'll be safe from honey traps.
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Oh, come on. ...... but make sure you take the others out too, okay?"
"I know. We're going to make doppelgangers for all of them when we get back.
"Oh, that's good."
Zion D seemed satisfied with that answer.
"But the appearance is the least of your worries, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is."
"I don't think you need to worry too much about it. Very few people will remember it."
"But if you still have a picture of me, ......"
So Jin answered, "I want to change my hair color at least.
