"Let's see what we can do."

At the home base of <, the two top leaders were discussing.

"I hope we can make use of all the knowledge and skills we have accumulated so far.

"Yes, that's right. In that sense, we should also select members to participate in the project.

No, not two, but the third is a beautiful blonde-haired automata, <>.

"If I were ten years younger, I would have run for the board," said Jules Laurent, the head of the board.

said Jules Rolland, the top executive.

......I'm sorry.

Elena is drooping.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!　It was an unfortunate accident.　It was an accident!

<

"Yes, yes!　I'm having a lot of fun now, too, which more than makes up for it!"

Donald Callow, the second runner-up, followed in a panic.

"That's a relief to hear you say that."

"Yes, it is!　Let's put all that backward-looking talk away and talk about something positive!

"Yes, I agree!

(...... Thank you very much.)

Elena thanked them in a small voice and resumed the discussion.

"The recent survey of the ruins of the Kingdom of Egelea and the Kingdom of Klein was too poor. I think we can guide you in this aspect as well.

Yes, we can.

That was a little pathetic.

Both of them had read the minutes of the meeting through the old man, and both of them were disappointed at the lack of content.

"It's not surprising that they have little experience in such investigative work.

Elena summarizes.

"And then there is the matter of education. < will have to spend a lot of time on education in the beginning."

"That's true."

Elena agrees with Donald.

"I think that the Nostalgia Party can help in terms of human resources."

"Yes, let's take that route.

"I see that official diplomatic relations with the Shoro Kingdom have been established.

I've been looking forward to this day.

In the village of Kali, the eastern gateway to the Mitsuho Nation, which is known as a foreign nation, Oliver, a Shoro native, and Maya, a Mitsuho native, huddled together and exchanged words.

"The dried bonito flakes and the wooden paper are selling well," he said.

"The other day they said they sold a lot of GSS (ground spider silk).

"It seems so. We've had inquiries too. It's too bad we don't carry it.

"Well, why don't you try to handle it?　I've got contacts."

"Really?　We'd love to have you.

I'll take care of it."

It was not a very s*xy conversation.

I'm sure you've learned a lot.

I see you've learned your lesson, Ernesto.

Yes, father.

In the Kingdom of Egelea, Prince Ernest was reporting to his father after returning home.

"I have learned a lot, especially about ships. I've learned a lot, especially about ships. ...... So, Father, did you know that our ships were competing in the Golem boat competition in the Kingdom of Elias?"

No, I did not.

No, I don't know. Then who would know?

Maybe Kelihidole, the Minister of Magic, might know.

So Harold Ruan Autoclase, King of Egelea, summoned Kelliheridore and asked him a question.

I have certainly heard about it, but it is not official. However, it was not an official one, and I participated in it only in my personal capacity, so I did not bother His Majesty's ears.

"I see. It is all right that you did not report it. But Ernesto told me that the ship was quite a piece of work. Find out who built it and report back to me."

Yes, sir.

"Princess, did you enjoy your trip this time?"

Tia asked Princess Rieschen, who was relaxing in her room in the Kingdom of Klein, while serving her tea and tea sweets.

"Yes, it was a lot of fun!　I never get tired of being with Jin. Hannah is cute too. And ......"

"Ernesto-sama has become more dignified, has he?"

"Gumm ...... yes, that's right."

The princess nodded, blushing.

"But when you talk to him, he's still Mr. Nest.

The occasional gesture is the same as in the past, she says.

To Princess Rieschen, Tia held out a rolled up piece of leather paper.

"And you have a letter from Master Jin," she said.

"Oh, I see. What is it?

Princess Rieschen took it, opened the seal, and looked it over.

A smile spreads across her face.

"Oh ......!"

"What's the matter?　Did you find something good in it?

"Yes, it did. Jin said that there is a relatively easy pavement in the <> area. He will check it out in detail.

Princess Rieschen felt her prospects for the road improvement project brighten even more now that Jin had said so.

"That's good, isn't it?"

"Yes. What a good thing to have a friend.

What happened to ......?

In the moon habitat, Milowina was summoned by the brain.

Yes. Far away in the distance, space seems to have vibrated.

Vibrations?

Vibrations? I've determined that from the fluctuations in the gravity field.

Are you sure?

It was only 1/10,000th of a second, so I can't be 100 percent sure.

So what am I supposed to do?

I need your advice on what to make of this phenomenon.

That's unusual. You don't know what to do?

Yes. I've never seen anything like this before, and I don't have the resources to know what to do.

"I see. ......"

This may have been the limit of this kind of artificial intelligence.

Jin-kun seems to be busy with various things. ...... Well, if you experience a similar phenomenon again, please let Horaijima know."

I understand.
