.

In the former Principality of Mercana, she was a local administrator in the region that includes the village of Tazy. He is related to the royal family of the former Principality of Mercana.

He was ambitious but concerned about his country and his people in his own way, and he was aiming for independence from the Duchy of Jagus.

And now, as a councilor of the <>, he is working day and night to stabilize the situation in the country.

"This is not the future I had imagined, but it's a good one.

Paelova speaks to her secretary, Jed Alamold.

"Yes, sir."

"...... Jed, will you stop calling me that sir?　I am no longer a superintendent."

Jed Alamold, who was secretary of the former Principality of Mercana, used to call Paelove Sondvik "Your Excellency".

But now Paelova is a councillor in the and Jed Alamold is her personal secretary.

"Shall I call you ?"

"Ummm ...... I'm not used to it, but I guess it's better that way."

"Yes, sir."

I'm not used to it. <

Yes. I've been hearing about it since the end of last year.

Someone is backing them.

I'm sure. I don't know how many people they can get together, but I don't think they can make a difference in this country right now.

"That's right. They must be receiving some kind of support from the Duchy of Jags.

How do you mean?

I don't know. But I think it would be better to inform of the information at this point, instead of saying that we will wait until we know for sure.

"Yes, sir."

Jed Alamold secretly thought in his heart that although there was certainly some calculation involved in this, the great thing about Paelove Sondvik was that the equation "calculation = for the good of the country" was true.

In other words, what one does in a calculating manner is considered to be for the good of the world.

Although he did not say it out loud, Jed Alamold described Paelová Sondovik as a leader.

And <.

"What, a report from Paelova Sondvik?"

, a councilor sent from , overheard.

He's a 42 year old, accomplished councilor.

"Read it out."

Another councilor, <> from <>, said.

"Ha. ......The purpose of the recent outbreak of bandits is the revival of the House of Mercana, and they may be aided by the Duchy of Jagus. ......"

<<>The liaison in charge read the report.

"Hmmm, I see. What do you think, Mr. Daggart?"

"I think it's quite possible. In the first place, those four countries are not yet qualified to participate in the ."

"That's right. ......"

It seems to be a deep-rooted problem because of the involvement of other countries.

Meanwhile, Jin was relieved to finally have a load off his shoulders.

"Ah, it's over.

With the bandits rounded up, the high alert in Tajee and Fan villages was lifted and peace was restored.

"Thanks to Jin-san and Makina-sama."

Helga looks relieved.

"I'll leave <> in Tajee Village and <> in Fan Village for a while.

Since this is just for the purpose of accumulating clinical data and conducting operational tests, we will not receive any compensation.

"Enju 2 and Enju 3 should be able to cope with anything other than a forceful push by numbers."

Jin said, "We can do whatever we want except to attack multiple locations at the same time.

(Well, in that case, we can send troops with a transporter.)

) In any case, Jin was relieved to know that the Tajee and Fan villages would be safe now.

"Anyway, I guess we'll be leaving around tomorrow. ......"

"What?　Jin-san, are you leaving?

Helga heard Jin's soliloquy and became impatient.

"I'm not going back, I'm going to go to Lawhon after this.

Hearing the name of the place, Helga seemed to get the idea.

"Ah, that's where you stayed last time.

"Yes."

In addition, Jin had something else on his mind.

The <.

The and the golem-engine car that he had made in the village of Rihoto.

(Well, that one was made as a half-assed measure because we couldn't get , but it's a technology that I'm still very attached to.

It was created by Jin, Katya, and Eira.

I am also wondering how it is being handled now.

Now that the environment is better prepared, Jin may be able to make further improvements.

"I'm going to go to Lawhon first, then to the Mahaleague," he said.

"You're going to go to Katya, too, right?"

"Yes. ...... I originally came back from vacation."

"Oh, right."

"Well, I'll take it easy for the rest of the day."

That's the conversation we had.

* * * * *

Speaking of relaxing, I took a bath.

"By the way, the bathing facilities in Hwangchun are no longer working.

I remembered that I had stopped by a public bathhouse before and wondered if it was a hot spring. >>Jin recalled that he was curious about it.

"And the snow room in the storage facility has also been ruined. ......"

Jin regretted that not only the village of Tajee, but also other villages were not fully restored yet.

"<>...... was there. Okay, <>."

"Jin-san, how is it?"

"Yeah, it's coming out soon. ......

"Wow!"

Jin was drilling for hot springs.

After locating the underground hot water vein, he dug out the bathtub and channeled the wastewater into a settling tank in a reservoir.

Then, after a simple shingle, they dug the hot spring.

"Yeah, it's pretty hot," he said.

The water was about 100 meters deep, so the hot water was not so bad. The water was about 60 degrees Celsius.

The water was mixed with plain water to make it the right temperature.

The quality of the water was simple.

The size of the bathtub was about 3 meters by 2 meters. The bathtub was about 2 meters by 3 meters, but it was not very large due to a hut.

Still, it is large enough to accommodate five to six people.

When they have more room, they can rebuild the building into something more solid, and the bathtub can be enlarged.

"This makes me happy!"

Sergei, the village head, was overjoyed.

"Why don't you go ahead and try it?

"No, no, first of all, Mr. Jin, you should go in there.

And so it came to be.

I was so excited that I said, "Oh, it's so nice!

"Ah, it's nice hot water."

Jin stretched out his arms and legs.

It had been a long time since he had been able to take a leisurely soak in a hot tub like this, since he had been using only small household baths since he came to Tajee Village.

Reiko was not allowed to join him because of the eyes of the others, so she was watching the bathtub outside.

Still, Hitoshi was satisfied with his relaxing experience.
