Jin and his team were discussing the layout of the circuit for automobile racing.

"Since the speeds are different, why don't we double the oval track, pave the outer side for car racing and leave the inner side as dirt for off-road and horse racing?

Jin suggested.

"Oh, that might be a good idea. But the layout of the spectator seating might be a problem.

"Yes, that's true."

This exchange of opinions continued.

"I would like to hear more, but I have paperwork to do, so I'll leave you to it.

"Me too."

The queen and the prime minister participated in the discussion for about an hour, and then returned to their work, not wanting to interfere with their duties.

"......Well, in that case, shall we build a separate dirt course?"

"Yes. ......"

Jin and the others concluded that it was not a good idea to be greedy.

"In that case, let's proceed only with this paved course. Let's keep the oval course undulating, and add some undulations to the course extending outward.

"Oh, that would be just right topographically. There's a very low rise here. ......"

Jin and the others devoted themselves to discussing the on-road course.

"So the main stand will be like this. I see...it will be a staircase so that every seat will be able to see the course. ...... hmmm..."

"So the upper seats are a little farther up, but that gives you a better view of the track?

"Yes, that's right. And since there will be so many people, food, drinks, restrooms, and a souvenir stand will be necessary.

Except for the restrooms, Jin said, the restrooms could be profitable.

We could charge for the restrooms, but that would make people use the restrooms and make the venue filthy as a result, he said.

"I see. ......"

"If possible, I would like to have a roof over the bleachers to protect them from the sun and rain."

Jin-dono seems to have a clear image of what he wants.

Yes, I have thought about it.

That's very encouraging.

The Minister of Magic seems to like this kind of thinking,

"I think we'll need an infirmary as a facility."

"We will need an infirmary as a facility," he says,

"A rest room and a store are to be located next to each other? I see, that will increase the number of users.

And so on,

How will you manage the admission fee for events?

How will you manage it?

These exchanges of opinions were very meaningful, and sometimes they helped me to fill in some points that Jin had not noticed.

* * * * * * *

Meanwhile, Elsa and Najas had returned from the infirmary to the small conference room.

"Najas-san's treatment was appropriate. Now you can start walking, running, going up and down the stairs, and so on in a reasonable manner. But do not be in a hurry.

"Yes, Miss Elsa."

"And for the hands, it's good to have them practice writing. Anyway, it's important that he recovers his whole body, which has been weakened by being bedridden.

Yes, Miss Elsa.

Then all that's left is time. In half a month the viscount's body will be back to normal. But don't push him too hard as soon as he gets back.

"I understand."

After this series of warnings, Elsa's attention turns to the measures to be taken at the mine.

"...... how about the mines in the territory?"

"Yes. Since the end of last year, we have received support from Avalon, and treatment for dust lungs has begun.

I'm glad to hear that.

"It's not a full recovery, so it will take three to six months, but we are grateful that we can treat several people at the same time. ......

"Well, I hope so."

<, but she didn't know how they were being used in the field, so she was relieved to hear about it.

"Oh, yes. Do you know how masks and helmets are worn in the mines?"

"Yes, Miss Elsa. The other day a notice was issued requiring the wearing of helmets, dust masks, and safety glasses.

Until then, many people had dug into the mines without wearing them because they thought it would be too much trouble.

"I guess it would be okay for a short period of time, though."

Here, Erza came up with the idea of making a magic tool for <> or <>.

(I'll talk to my brother Jin about it later.)

From this conversation, Erza sensed that countermeasures were beginning to be taken.

(If is working, I feel relieved first of all.)

Erza also felt relieved.

That night, Jin and Elsa stayed at the Royal Castle of Franz.

They stayed in the same room where they had stayed before.

After taking a bath and having dinner, they were relaxing in their room and reporting each other's achievements.

"I see, Viscount Kern has made a good recovery.

"Yes. I've examined him for a while now, and thanks to the "Feligenesen" and Persica juice, all his other ailments have disappeared. With moderation, I think I can stay in office for 10 years or more."

"That's good news."

It means that the question of a successor to the Khan family can be temporarily put on hold.

In the meantime, it would be best if the Viscount himself could find a solution to the problem ......, Jin thinks.

"At any rate, it's good that we got a grace period."

"Hmm."

Next comes Jin's report.

"The layout of the course for the car race has been decided and the construction schedule has been adjusted.

That's good.

"So we've talked about setting up an infirmary at the racetrack, but we can't have so many healers so quickly, so we're thinking of using the fifth row for the first time.

"Well, that may not be an option."

When we have more healers and healers we can hire them," Elsa said.

"Speaking of which, I was wondering if you could help me with something."

Elsa then asked Jin about the idea of making a or tool for the mines.

"I think there have been such magic tools in the past, haven't there?"

"What?　Is that so?

"Oh. ......Reiko, check with the old man.

Jin asks the old man to search for it through Reiko.

He gets a reply in a second.

"Father, the old man says that such magic tools existed in the past.

"Yes.

"But there was a time when golems were used to do the mining, so those magic tools fell out of use, and then they fell out of use when the mining returned to being done by human power.

"What a surprise!"

The contents were so shocking that I had to use a somewhat funny expression, Jin.

"Well then, we'll have to start all over again. ...... is this from <> too?"

Jin decided that it would be best if he would not be beholden to any particular country.
