"Well, let's have a farewell party tomorrow," he said.
He tells the village head, Giebeck, about it.
"Let's have it at Nido Castle. I will prepare the food.
With these words, Jin set out for the Kingdom of Selroa.
It was 4:00 p.m. in the village of Kaina, but the time difference from the capital of the Kingdom of Celuloa was 1 hour and 20 minutes.
arrived at the capital city of Esia in less than 15 minutes.
Three hot-air balloons of the Royal Air Defense Force of Celuloa came up, but when they saw the emblem of <> and Reiko waving at the window, they seemed to recognize Jin and slowly moved away.
"Kunlun-kun, welcome."
Balfeeza Walker, the head of the MIC, greeted Jin.
It's been a while.
Please come this way first.
She personally led Jin and Reiko to a reception room in the palace.
Actually, .......
Jin thought it would be difficult to meet King Cesar in person, so he decided to explain the purpose of his visit, thinking that the MIC chief would be sufficient. I told him the purpose of my visit.
"Well, please take it. His Majesty is almost finished with his duties for the day and should be here shortly.
Before he could finish, the door was opened and King Cesar arrived.
"Oh, my Lord Gin, it's been a while.
"It has been a while."
Jin stood up and bowed. Cesar smiled, sat Jin on a chair, and took a seat himself.
"First of all, what can I do for you?
Cesar began, as if he was busy and small talk could wait.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, ......"
Jin told the story of the girls from the village of Lalio who had once been sold into slavery.
Of the eleven, eight wanted to emigrate, he said.
"I see. ......It is a matter of concern for the king that his people are leaving the country."
"......I'm sorry to hear that."
King Cesar looks a little disappointed, and Jin feels sorry too.
"No, this time, Jin-dono is not to apologize. It is the fault of our country.
King Cesar assured him that there would be no problem for the girls to settle there. In addition, he also prepared the documents, albeit in an abbreviated form.
Since there is no family register in the Kingdom of Celuloa, verbal permission would have sufficed, but he put it in writing for future reference.
"Thank you very much."
Jin thanked him and accepted the document.
"Now, Jin-dono. Now I would like you to do me a favor.
"I beg your pardon?"
King Cesar glanced at Barfeeza Walker, who was present, and then opened his mouth to explain.
"Our country is large. Our roads are well maintained, but the size of our country can sometimes be a detriment."
"Oh."
Jin nodded vaguely, not grasping the meaning of the previous statement.
"Take this famine, for example. For example, there was a distance barrier when they tried to send relief supplies.
"I see."
"So I would like to ask you, Mr. Jin, to come up with a plan to improve land transportation.
Improvement of distribution, you mean.
We would like to increase the amount of transportation, decrease the time required, or both.
"We are looking for a minimum of 10 million TL (about 100 million yen) as a reward. We are willing to increase the amount depending on the details of the project. Of course, we are willing to pay more than just money.
Barfeeza Walker talked about the honorarium. It was a very generous offer.
"Yes, sir. I will accept your offer. But there's one condition.
What's that?
We'd like you to expand your transportation network beyond the Kingdom of Celuloa to other countries.
Hmm, that's .......
"In that case, I would like to receive a gratuity from each country."
Jin thought of something like a railroad network.
In such a case, it would be more beneficial to connect each country than to close it in one country.
As for the method, I have not decided yet whether railroads or truck transportation would be better.
"Ummm ......"
Jin hoped that this would be one of the agenda items for the , which was once planned but never realized.
"Okay. I can't make any promises at the moment, not knowing what kind of proposal they will make, even if it is ....... I would like to see the proposal and think about it again."
"That is also true. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible with at least a proposal.
"Yes, thank you.
Thus, Jin was given permission to officially make the girls residents of the village of Kaina.
* * * *
"Well, what are we going to do ......?"
Jin thought on the way back to the hotel.
"Railroad or truck. ......"
Jin cannot conclude which is better at the moment.
Railroads can transport large amounts of goods and people, although the construction of tracks is troublesome. The disadvantage is that only rough transportation is possible.
Trucks are easy to introduce because they can use the current roads. Trucks are easy to introduce because they can use the current roads and can transport people to each village. The disadvantage is that the width of the current roads is quite limited.
"Well, it's hard to decide in general. ......"
This is precisely the kind of thing that Hitoshi would like to see discussed at the that brings together the heads of state and government of all nations.
However, there is something to be done now.
He changed his mind and discussed with the old man about the farewell party via manacam.
"Well, Persica, Citran, and Apurul.
We have plenty of rice and wheat stockpiled in Nido castle.
"Normally, it would be better for the economy to buy from the surrounding villages. ......
Jin himself has a considerable stockpile of rice and wheat, but he has nowhere to spend it.
He barely has enough to spend on Barrow and Behle's wages and living expenses at the Reuthert residence.
"I guess we'll have to put that aside for now.
As for Jin, it is too much to handle this and that. For now, he is going to take care of them one by one.
The first thing is the farewell party tomorrow.
"Father, please don't forget about Hannah."
Yes, of course.
Jin decides that tomorrow he will spend the whole morning playing with Hannah and the children of the village.
landed in the darkness at the village of Kaina.
The landing was almost without any shaking or impact, as it was propelled by the force field generator.
"Well, let's rest in the castle tonight.
Since there is a time difference of about 2 hours and 20 minutes from Horai Island, we thought it would be better to take a rest here so that our daily rhythm would not be disturbed.
And when Jin entered Nido Castle, he was greeted by the following words
"Welcome home!
It was Elsa in an apron.
"Dinner isn't ready yet? I've prepared it for you."
Reiko is smiling behind Jin. Apparently, Reiko had sent a message to the old man and the old man had sent a message to Elsa.
"...... Thank you."
Jin, who was hungry, thanked Elsa in front of the table with the hot meal.
