Jin explained to Zion about the hotel under construction in Toka village.

"I see. You are worried about the strength of the hotel under construction?

"Yes, I am. We don't want the floor to fall out or the ceiling to collapse.

"I understand. A normal human being would be flattened.

Even the Northerners can use gravity magic, but if they don't make it in time, it's the same thing.

That's true. Good. I'll pick a few of them soon and take them to inspect the competition site.

"Yes, please do that."

Jin felt relieved.

"By the way, would you mind going to see Law for a while?"

Lo," Zion called his great-grandson, Rhodes the Puppet.

"Okay, but what's going on?"

"Okay, but what's going on?" "I think he's stuck on something. You can't be there for him outwardly, but you can at least give him some advice.

"Okay. I'll go."

Jin took Reiko and went to the place Zion had told him about ......<>Clan's airfield.

There, Rhodes is standing in front of the completed , pondering.

His sister, Vita, his wife, Ludmilla, and his automata, Momoko, were with him.

"Ah, Jin-sama!"

It was Vita who noticed Jin first.

"Ah, when did you come here?"

Rhodes seemed to notice Jin next.

"I went to Zion's office earlier to take care of something, and Rhodes said he was stuck on something, so I came to check on him.

"Oh, I see."

So what's bothering you?

The details of the competition have not been announced yet, so it should not be possible to tune the car for the competition.

"Yes, I was wondering how to make it both small and stable.

"I see. ......"

Jin thought that it was understandable that Rhodes was troubled by these two characteristics, since they were in a sense contradictory to each other.

"Well, ...... all I can say is that <> and <>."

Not being able to put too much stock in any particular participant, Jin limited himself to giving a few hints.

"Switching ......?"

But Rhodes seemed to sense something from it.

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

"...... can't go any further than that, can it?"

It was not a good idea for Jin to be so beholden to a particular participant this time. But then a thought occurred to me.

"Why don't you hold a consultation meeting?

So I went back to Zion's place and talked to him.

"A consultation meeting, huh? ...... would be a good idea.　Everyone might have some kind of stuck point or something that is bothering them.

I thought that by opening up the questions and answers, Jin would be able to give more detailed advice.

I thought that by being open about the questions and answers, Jin would be able to give me more detailed advice.

Two hours later, all the participants gathered at Zion's house.

Since this is the house of the clan leader, there is a large meeting room here.

About 20 people gathered.

The final number of participants was ten teams, with two members from each team.

The exception was Rhodes with his sister Vita and his wife Ludmilla. Hence the exact number of 21.

"I'm so glad you've all come, you've been busy preparing for the race. Please listen to me while you eat.

As it is lunchtime, snacks are served. There was a pile of sandwiches with different ingredients, but the pile was getting smaller and smaller.

"Gin, one of the organizers of the upcoming <<1st Marikka Cup Air Race>, a Magecraft Meister, came to see me. He asked us to consult with him about any problems we might have before the race.

There was a stir in the room.

Some knew Jin, some were strangers. There is not a single person in the Nordic Federation who does not know the name "Magecraft Meister," even if they are strangers.

As Jin watched, they all ate, chewed, and swallowed their sandwiches with great gusto. Zion and Jin watched them with smiling eyes.

In about two minutes after Zion's words, the pile of sandwiches was neatly placed in the participants' stomachs.

Then fresh juice was served.

Then fresh juice was served. "Well, you can drink it while you are drinking. Let's have a question time.

Theon, who was acting as the facilitator, said, and all hands went up.

"All of you, as I thought. Then let's have the participants ask questions in the order of entry.

Everyone agreed with Zion's words.

Okay, let's start with the Road Toss team, entry number one, please.

"Yes. ...... I'm wondering if it's possible to combine small turns and stability."

The same question was asked as before.

Jin nodded and explained in a little more detail than before.

"One of the factors responsible for the stability of <> is the position of the center of gravity. You might want to think carefully about the relationship between the position of the wings and the center of gravity."

If you think of a parachute toy, the longer the string connecting the weight to the <>, the slower it falls, and the shorter the string, the faster it falls.

Even considering a pendulum, the longer the string is, the slower it swings.

"I think there is also a way to <>...... what and how to do it if necessary."

Oh," said another participant.

"<> so you'll have to find the answer yourself."

"Thank you very much."

That was the end of the questions for the Road Toss team.

"You must be Harnatha from team ......<> with entry number 2?"

Yes. My name is Harunatha. I would like to ask your opinion on the safety of blow floaters.

"By safety, do you mean strength?　Or is it based on the premise of a crash?"

The question was rather vague, so Jin asked again.

"Ah, yes. Assuming a crash, that is."

"I see. I understand your concern. However, if we increase the strength of the aircraft, the weight will increase and the flight performance will decrease. It will be a balance between the two. ...... Next, as a general rule, things that stand will fall, things that run will fall, ships will sink, and cars will hit each other. The reality is that these things cannot be completely eliminated even if we wanted to."

"...... Yes."

"This is one of the directions to go, not to think about what happens when you fall, but to avoid falling. We have gravity magic in the Nordic Federation.

"I see. ....... Thank you very much.

Harnatha seemed to have had some inspiration from this advice.

As for Jin, he could not give a 100 percent answer. He can only give advice on what he would do.

Even so, many of the advice seemed to be eye-opening to the participants, and they all seemed to have been inspired with some ideas.

Entry No. 9

"Entry number 9, this is Kondak of <>!

(He's going to be Marikka's granddisciple.)

Zion informed Jin in a whisper.

"Uh, uh, tell me the secret to increasing your speed!"

Jin thought about the answer, thinking that the Nordic Federation is full of motivated engineers.
