The day after the speedboat race, i.e., December 11.

Jin was not able to ...... relax on Onogoro Island.

"Master Jin, what is it about my design that is lacking?"

"Master Jin, what is it that I need to do to reach a higher level?

Master Jin, how can I further my education?

Master Jin.

Master Jin.

Master Jin, ......

"......"

Jin had to answer each of these questions, so he had almost a whole day without being able to do anything.

"Jin, Jin-sama, I'm sorry!"

Seeing Jin looking like he was thinking about something, Trihart bowed down to the ground as if he was on his knees. Marikka also looked apologetic.

"No, it's okay.

But Jin let it slide.

"Everyone was very enthusiastic, so it was worth explaining.

"Yeah..."

"But I thought that if I only knew the island, my perspective would be limited.

"Perspective, you mean."

Jin nodded.

"Yes, that's right. I was like that myself. ......"

Jin recalled the time when he had just been summoned and had no idea how out of touch he was.

"Well, I don't think I have any common sense even now."

He seems to be aware of this, as he puts it to himself.

"At ......, you know. I've been thinking about a few things.

Once again, Jin turned to Trihart.

"I'd like to add a competition to choose a king and queen, but I'd also like to add a competition for skill in molding by <> or for precision processing.

Jin said, "This one is so simple that we might as well just report the results without broadcasting them.

"Certainly, we need to evaluate such techniques.

"That would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Marikka agreed.

"I think we should also ...... tell Trihart and Suzanne first. ......"

"Yes, sir?"

Just then Suzanne came in with a tray of green tea.

"Here you go, Jin-sama."

"Thank you."

Jin thanked her and sipped the green tea.

"At ......."

Suzanne also took a seat, and Jin began to talk.

The group present was Jin, Reiko, Marikka, Trihardt, and Suzanne.

"First of all, what do you know about Hale?"

This question was answered in the affirmative.

"You also know about the universe, don't you?"

This was also answered . It seems that Onogoro's education in science is, at a minimum, at the level of a modern Earth elementary school graduate, so he is doing OK.

"Okay, then, let's get down to business. ...... I'm planning to redevelop Hale right now."

".................. yes?"

"So I'm trying to redevelop Hale so I can live there."

"......"

The hurdle seemed too high for the sensible Mr. and Mrs. Trihardt Suzanne, who looked blank.

"Well, um, Hale is on the other side of the Sun Selangor, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"So, the Haelians ......<> migrated to this Ars because they ran out of resources, right?"

"That's right."

"Ji,Jin-sama, you are trying to do what that <> couldn't do?　Are you trying to revive ...... Hale?

"Well, that's what I'm trying to do."

Jin replies, realizing that this is not convincing enough, and adds a supplementary explanation.

"By the time the Hale ......<> realized it, it was too late. Oh, I don't mean the stars, I mean that the Haleans were beginning to degenerate."

A Hailian in his prime could probably have done better than he did, Jin says.

"But they didn't seem to have much interest in the outside world, so it's really a ."

With that explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Trihardt Suzanne finally restarted.

"Well, may I ask you a few questions?"

"Sure."

Thank you very much. ...... Jin-sama, do you intend to live in Hale eventually?"

"Oh ...... yes. It's not definite, but whether it's my Horai Island or this Onogoro Island, as long as it's on Ars, it will be seen by people at some point.

They agreed.

"Since there is a warp gate, we will be able to go back and forth between Ars and Hale as if we were going to the next house."

"...... Jin-sama, isn't it?"

Trihart let out a small sigh.

"If anyone wants to go to Hale as if it were a vacation home, I'll ask him to let me know if he wants to go."

"What?　Oh, you mean we can live here?"

"I'm thinking that we can live more comfortably that way."

"Perhaps so. ......"

"I'm also thinking of reaching out to the northerners."

"Perhaps," Jin added, "but I think there will be a desire to emigrate, especially among the young.

"That may be so."

"It's not something we're in a hurry to talk about, and it's a plan that's going to take generations. But just know that there is such a plan."

I understand."

* * * *

"...... wind."

Jin soaked himself in the hot water and stretched out.

"I think we've accomplished a lot of what we set out to do. ......

I'm alone today. ...... that is, Reiko is with him to wash his back.

"Are you having fun, father?"

"Yes, it's nice to finally feel some peace here."

Jin murmured deeply in the hot water.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Well, ...... we're going to enjoy the island a little more, and then we're going to inspect the construction of the spaceship."

"I understand."

It makes sense for Reiko to know what Jin's plans are.

"Let's think about tomorrow ......."

Jin stretched once more in the bathtub, saying that he was tired today.
