After a leisurely breakfast, the members of the Jin family returned to their respective locations.
Only Jin and Erza are left.
"It's quiet again, isn't it?"
"Hmmm. ...... now we can be together again."
Erza picks at the sleeve of Jin's dress with her fingertips.
"Oh. "Yeah. This is a precious time."
Jin laughed and hugged Erza's shoulder.
"After this, we'll think about what we're actually going to do. ...... But first, let's go for a walk."
"Yes."
Today's weather was unusually light and cloudy for Horai Island in early summer.
Jin and Erza, accompanied by Reiko and Edgar, set out for Tatsumi Bay. Of course, they did not go on foot, but by <>. Reiko drove.
The car is not designed for space, but for Horai Island.
"Is this the prototype?"
"Yes. We had to add some functions to use it in space rather than mass-producing ...... it as it was, so we modified this one for daily use.
It was a waste to keep a dead prototype, so it was modified to look like a convertible.
The normal maximum speed is 50 kilometers per hour. In an emergency, it can double that speed to 100 km/h. However, because of the danger, this car is secured so that it can only be driven by Reiko.
In this case, Reiko was driving, so she could drive 100 km/h if she wanted to, but Jin, who wanted to spend a leisurely time, instructed her to limit the speed to about 40 km/h. So, the speed of the car is about 40 km/h, and the speed of the car is about 100 km/h.
So Jin and Erza headed for the ocean while enjoying a leisurely time.
The road along the river was about 40 km long. After an hour, the ocean finally came into view.
"It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen the ocean.
"It's been so hectic."
Parking the barrier cushion car on the beach, Jin and the others started walking toward the shore.
"It's calm.
"It's calm." The light overcast could be attributed to the lack of wind.
"Father, would you like me to prepare a rug for you?
"Yes, please."
Reiko brought out a rush mat. It was made of rush mat woven with rush grass. They put it on the beach and Jin and Erza lay down on it.
It was lightly overcast, so it was not so bright,
"Here, too, for protection from ultraviolet rays.
Reiko brings out a foldable sunshade. She is very well prepared.
"Oh, thank you."
The fragrance of the rush is pleasant, and the two of us, who had been lying down silently, doze off.
"Father, Elsa, it's time to wake up..."
Reiko's call wakes them up.
"Ah, I slept well."
"It's almost noon. What would you like to eat?
If you want to go back to the institute, there is a warp gate. It is mainly used to send out marine products from Tatsumi Bay.
"Well, I think I'd like to eat here."
Before I knew it, the light clouds had lifted and the sky was blue.
"I thought you might say so. I will contact Soleil and Luna.
Reiko, as expected, knew Jin's character very well. Within 5 minutes, Soleil and Luna arrived using the warp gate.
Soleil had a basket and a water bottle in her hand, and Luna had a small package in hers.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Reiko thanked them for their hard work, and the three of them started to prepare for lunch.
Luna brought a foldable table and chairs from her baggage.
Soleil's basket was filled with sandwiches, a canteen with cold Citran juice, and even glasses.
"You're very well prepared."
Jin is impressed. Elsa also looks happy.
It was a special lunch by the sea with a soft sea breeze blowing.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
After taking a nap on the beach, Jin and Erza returned to the institute via the warp gate, feeling that they had taken it a little too easy.
Incidentally, the barrier cushion car was driven back here by Edgar.
"Now, we need to decide on the specifications of the monorail again.
The first step is to make sure that there are no differences in standards between countries in the future.
"First of all, the size of the cars, the width of the track, and the height of the elevated tracks.
Although monorails are not suitable for mass transportation due to the difficulty of making them large enough, the various values are determined based on the assumption that this will not be a problem in this sparsely populated world.
Because of the existence of magic, the conditions are different from those of the modern earth.
The height of the elevation can be low now that there are no large trucks, but it is also necessary to look to the future.
Jin writes down these ideas on a piece of paper in his hand. The paper is made of Mitsuho's specialty paper.
"......Okay, that's about it."
After spending about an hour with Elsa going over the main points and summarizing them, Jin showed the paper to the old man.
"Can you do a simple simulation of this content for me?"
Jin's wish is <<0 accidents>.
Although it will be difficult to achieve the actual zero, he is determined to achieve it and will make every effort to get as close to the target value as possible.
.
In order to avoid human error, Jin could not compromise on this.
The two are relaxing over a cup of tea after finishing all the work. Erza suddenly turned to Jin, who was sitting across from her,
"Jin is a Magecraft Meister, after all. He is most lively when he is involved in making things. I like that kind of face.
I love that kind of face," he said, just as it came into his mind.
"What?"
Jin almost sobs. He had not expected such words from Elsa out of the blue.
"Ah, ah..."
Even Elsa, the one who said the words, was amazed.
It seems that after all the work she has done with her head, the relaxed atmosphere has made her talk lighter, but she is still not very shy as she blushes after she says it.
"......"
For a while they looked at each other in silence, and it looked like they were going to .......
"Father, there is a report from the moon."
At the perfect moment, their attention was diverted in the other direction.
Moon-UNY had Anne, who was pushing for the construction of a simple base.
"Oh, I see. What?"
The report came from the old man.
<
"That's great. I'll have to give Anne a pat on the back when she gets back."
It's hard to believe it's a simple base.
<
They have more materials in UNY than they have in Horai Island.
Jin has no intention to touch it except for building the base.
"Now we need to observe, or rather monitor, the long-period planets.
To be honest, Jin was more interested in making things than in space.
Although he gave priority to the investigation of the moon ...... UNY because of the half-finished information, it was over, and now that the whole Jin family has been on a space trip ...... or rather a space walk? Now that Jin's interest had shifted to another direction.
