The story of Jin and 700672 continues.

"...... Is there any technical problem to separate Horai Island from the planet Arus?"

"Yes. The underground magma has calmed down, so it would just be the underground water veins."

Jin thought it was a pity that the hot springs might stop flowing.

"How deep are they going to dig?"

"Well, I guess ...... digging 30 kilometers underground would be enough."

The long side of Horai Island is 90 kilometers long and the short side is about 70 kilometers long.

The height of Mount Horai is 3000 meters. The underground resources have been dug to a depth of about 10 kilometers, so Jin decided that 30 kilometers would be enough.

"Also, since we have a fish pond, I would like to keep a little bit of the sea. So I think it would be better to close Tatsumi Bay.

Or we could build an enclosure around Horai Island and leave the sea inside it, Jin said.

"Hmm, it's amazing that you can say that so casually, Jin-dono.

"However, we can't predict how the ocean currents will change if Horai Island disappears, and we won't be able to control the southward movement of the Death Sea Serpent. We can't just casually go ahead with the plan."

"Well, if you are aware of that, then I feel even safer."

The 700672 laughed happily.

"Also, Tsetsi Island is not an island that has any resources. I hope that you and Cape Magus will publicize it and take steps to preserve it."

"Yes, that's right."

As one would expect, Jin had no intention of digging up the entire ground of Tsetsi Island, which is a graveyard.

"...... and, well, it's not even a plan yet, it's still in the draft stage."

Of course, there is always the option of leaving the island as it is now.

In that case, it would be necessary to declare in the future that <>.

"I think that's a good idea."

"I see."

If only such a day came when ordinary people could easily fly around the world and go anywhere on the Ars sea.

"I also enjoy the time I spend making plans."

"Yes, I understand that."

Jin nodded his head in agreement with No. 700672.

"The planning stage is when the possibilities, or rather the options, are the greatest.

"Oh, that's right."

The more concrete the plan becomes, the fewer options there are.

"It's also fun to see the plan take shape after it's been decided, though.

"Hmm, I guess Jin-dono enjoys making things as long as he is making things.

"That may be so.

Then they laughed at each other.

"Father, when are you going to move here?"

When the conversation between Jin and 700672 came to an end, Neige asked.

"I guess nothing concrete has been decided yet.

In a quiet voice, No. 700672 replies.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to move here as soon as possible.

"I see. ......"

Jin, who was listening to the conversation, thought that his current residence in the ship was still too small and that he must be feeling a sense of entrapment.

"I'll cooperate with you, so please emigrate as soon as possible.

"Hmm?　Hmmm, I see. ...... I guess so."

The 700672 seemed to understand Neige's feelings and nodded at Jin's offer.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well, we have to put it all together.

Jin decided that it was time to set priorities and make a move now that the various ideas were getting out of hand. He was at the central bridge of the with No.700672 and Reiko.

Here, he could have an online discussion with the old lord of Horai Island.

The opinion of No.700672 cannot be excluded. After all, he is a direct descendant of , the original master of this planet Hale.

Incidentally, Neige and Rouge are sleeping in < after a long day of fun, and a forestry golem <> has been summoned to watch over them.

"Finally, we will place <> in orbit for resources, and use the warp gate to bring in materials as needed."

"Yes, that seems to be a good idea.

This was the final decision regarding resources.

"As for the environment, we would like to proceed as we are now.

"I have no objection to that either. Mr. Jin is doing a good job.

"Thank you very much. And about the residence of Mr. 700672..."

That's what Jin is most concerned about.

"Oh, Neige and Rouge have already compiled a list of their preferences, so I'll base my decision on that.

"I see."

Jin was a bit nervous that there might be some outrageous requests, but there were no such requests, and relatively honest proposals were lined up.

<.

The second proposal was to excavate a mountainside and make a cave into a room. It is playful, but the intention seems to be to keep the landscape as unspoiled as possible.

The third proposal was to build an ordinary house.

"I'm not sure about any of them.

"Well, they have hardly ever said what they want.

Hearing this, Jin said,

"Well, let's fulfill all of them.

Jin proposed, "Then, let's fulfill all of their requests.

"These requests are not in conflict with each other, so we can dig a hole in the rock wall and build a like an observatory, and the dome will be a separate place, and a normal house," he said.

No. 700672 gave a small laugh.

"Hmm, that sounds like you, Jin-dono. But it sure is. Can you help us ......?"

"Of course, that was my intention from the very beginning.

Thus began a more concrete design.

"Let's have a in the center, from where you can go to the dome and the grotto," he said.

"Wow, that's an interesting structure," Jin said.

Jin drew a rough sketch on a piece of paper and showed it to me. Jin is very good at these kinds of drawings.

"Let's connect each of them with a connecting passageway, or a corridor, or ......, like this."

"Hmmm. If ......, wouldn't it be better to do it this way?"

"Oh, that's good. Then, this one should be like this: ......."

The 700672 seemed to be enjoying the discussion, and he and Jin were enthusiastically coming up with ideas.

"It's done, isn't it?"

"Yes.

<, Jin used Tuscosia, a border town with the Shoro Kingdom in the Kingdom of Cerroa, which he had visited in the past, as a reference.

And then there are the grotto temples of Dunhuang, which he saw on TV.

"Just in case, windows should be inlaid with glass or cubic zirconia".

This is to protect from insects, rain, sand and dust.

The houses are made of stone, which is common in the Shoro Kingdom.

"Mm."

Although he said "normal", it was 400 years ago, and he did not consider that the trend might have changed a little now.

"So, I'd like to build a dome as a relaxing space and make it into a living room," he said.

"Jin-dono's idea is interesting."

It seems that No. 700672 was satisfied.

Incidentally, after this, I showed the conceptual plan to Neige and Rouge, and they were both very satisfied with it.
