On June 28, at 9:00 a.m., the delegation of the Duchy met again with the delegation of .
The meeting took place in the conference room of the Royal Castle.
The first thing they did was to make plans for the day.
Then we will list what we are going to do and what we want to do today.
The deputy, Ilmina Ratkin, presides over the meeting.
"I would like to hear an interim report on the results of the land analysis.
Minister of Internal Affairs Chaim Lo Hasta says.
"I would like to ask you to give us some guidance on the Golem technology.
This is Jarvie Keefe, Minister of Technology.
"If possible, we would like to see what you can do with the Golem at ......."
said Zonata Nictes Vecchio, Minister of Military Affairs.
"I would like to ask you about life in <>."
And the Queen said.
"I would like to know more about the magical tools used in <>. ......"
This is the magic minister Miko B. Saffron.
Various requests were made, and we will prioritize them and respond to them.
The highest priority was given to << food>.
The top priority was <>.
Thus, this is an interim report on the results of the soil survey.
The report is written by Ilmina Ratkin.
"We are examining soil samples brought back by our Gaju Tsuga and others during their last visit."
Twenty copies of the interim report had been brought with me and I managed to get them to everyone present.
The reason for this was that not only cabinet ministers but also many bureaucrats involved in agricultural policy attended the meeting.
"First of all, soil is a mixture. The constituents can be divided into inorganic and organic.
The basic explanation began.
"The organic matter is not significantly different from the other samples, especially when compared to the samples from other areas.
Therefore, we thought that inorganic materials held the key to solving the mystery," he continued.
"Inorganic materials are minerals. The finer particles are clay and the coarser ones are sand.
Up to this point, everyone understood.
"By the way, the growth of crops depends not only on the composition of the soil, but also on its structure.
At this point, those who had never actually worked in agriculture looked at me as if they did not understand. But that was to be expected.
"Soil has other roles besides supplying nutrients. First of all, it supports the plant body."
This was well understood and everyone nodded silently.
"Then, to store water ......."
This also seemed to make sense to them.
"And to supply air ...... with oxygen. The roots of plants breathe too."
This explanation seemed to make sense to everyone.
The soil with no gaps is not good for growth, and the soil should be a mixture of coarse grains with appropriate gaps. For this reason, it is necessary to cultivate the field.
The explanation is simple and step-by-step, and everyone in the pew seems to understand it.
"This soil tends to have such a densely packed structure. It is easy to guess that the retention of moisture and the supply of air have a positive effect on the crops.
The soil also seems to have a pest-resistant component, explained Ilmina Ratkin.
"The pest resistance means that the crop grows healthier, which guarantees a good harvest."
Here, Ilmina Ratkin concludes.
"In our study, we found that it works like that. This was not the case in other samples from other regions."
"That's all we know for now. We do not yet know what ingredients are responsible for such effects. We are waiting for further analysis."
Illumina Ratkin finished her explanation.
"Thank you very much."
The audience in the Principality of Norway applauded.
(Yes, that's a good analysis.)
Jin was impressed. The results were almost the same as those analyzed by Hanna and Saki in Horai Island.
It's just that in <>, they haven't found out yet that the is a particulate of <>.
(If we continue to analyze it, we will find out sooner or later.)
Jin hoped that this would be the case.

The next meeting will be a briefing on , that is, the life in the <<<< conference country.
This is something that Her Highness the Queen has requested by all means.
Most of the bureaucrats involved in the agricultural administration did not attend.
Instead, the chief stewards, chief maidservants, and others who work in the royal castle and are involved in the administration of the household were invited to attend.
Manon speaks of this.
"My name is Manon, and I would like to explain about life in the <>. <
A murmur escaped from those who did not know that Manon was an automata.
"First of all, ......"
Explaining how he lives is difficult, as it is a vague subject.
Manon decided to take the example of life in <>.
He then describes the way of life by showing how a day's life is lived.
"When I wake up in the morning, I wash my face, rinse my mouth and wash my face in the washroom provided in the house. Next comes breakfast. ......"
He explained that some people buy breakfast with meal tickets, while others prepare their own meals in their kitchens at home.
The audience listens with interest.
"After breakfast, students go to school or other academic institutions, and workers go to their places of work or their home workplaces. ......"
Here a question popped up.
"I'm sorry, what kind of status is this ?"
The term "student" is used to refer to all those who study. Regardless of status or position, as long as you have the will to learn, you can be a student.
Even if you are a commoner?
Yes. People have talents that are not related to their status. By developing these talents, we are trying to develop them so that they can be useful not only to the individual but also to the society as a whole.
"......I see. ......I understand. Thank you very much.
"I'll continue. ......Lunch is served in the cafeteria, or you can cook for yourself. ......"
Manon's explanation seemed to give him a dim understanding of how privileged and comfortable the people living in the <> were.
"Thank you very much. I think I understand a little more about the outside world now.
The queen thanked the delegation.
Then the legate, the Marquis Theobald Theodoric von Grainne, arrived,
"After this, we can invite anyone who wishes to come to Avalon," he said.
"The date will be decided later.
The date will have to be arranged separately.
Hearing this, Keith Tennick de Norha, the Duke of Norha, was very enthusiastic.
"That's very kind of you. I would like my son Gifora and the Minister of Internal Affairs to see the outside world.
"Perhaps after the three Principalities have signed a formal agreement, and there will be applicants from other Principalities as well.
"I would like to see it formalized as soon as possible," said Duke Keith Tinnick.
I am sure there will be applicants from other duchies as well.
