Helga and Katya were taking a leisurely soak in the women's bath.

"Oh, it feels so good, doesn't it?"

"I remember when Jin-san saw the public bathhouse in Fan Village when he was in Lawhong before, he said, 'Is this a hot spring? >>I remember you saying, "Is it a hot spring?

"Oh, I didn't know that was the case."

"Jin-san likes hot springs, doesn't he?"

"I understand. I can really relax in this spacious hot spring.

This hot spring has since been renovated and has become a specialty of Tajee Village.

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

On the morning of the 6th, Jin and Ka-Chea were seen off by the people of Tajee Village and departed as scheduled.

The pilot this time was the Sky 900.

Jin is going to maintain Hope as he goes.

"I know you wanted to relax a little more, but I'm sorry," Jin apologized to Katya.

Jin apologized to Katya.

"No, it was just that I had to go back home on business.

She laughed.

"I think there will be a transfer magic circle on the continent of Pandor in the near future. Then it will be easier to come and go.

The warp gate that Jin had used before when he was sent to the Principality of Jagus had been destroyed by Malchitas, and even if it had not been, it would have been meaningless since it was only connected to the Principality of Jagus.

At the moment, the establishment of a transit route is only possible with the approval of the , and that approval will only be granted if the country's situation is stable.

"For that reason, I hope that all the bandits will be caught this time and the mastermind behind it will be clarified."

"I guess so. ......"

Four hundred years ago Jin was solving a lot of troublesome problems in the shadows, and the result is the world we live in today.

However, the existence of the irregularity called <> is no doubt a big factor.

Still, Jin felt that it was a pity that the culture and civilization, and by extension the activities of the people, were so fragile that they were destroyed by the <>.

If it is to be built up again, Jin thinks that this time it should be done by the hands of the people ...... as much as possible.

"So, where are you going?"

Katya asks again.

"Yes, as I said yesterday, I'm thinking of Lawhon and then Mahaliegh.

"That's what you said. But I think it's better to wait for Lawhon until later."

"Why?"

"Well, you see, ......"

According to Cachair's explanation, the reconstruction of Lawhon has been delayed considerably.

According to Cachair, the reconstruction of Lawhon has been delayed because the reconstruction of the capital, Mahaliegh, has been prioritized.

"Why is the reconstruction of the rural villages progressing?"

He said that this was simply an allocation of manpower.

If the manpower required for the reconstruction of a rural village is set at 1, the manpower required for Lohong is 40, and that for Mahaleague is 100.

Therefore, in order to restore the functions of the capital city, they are temporarily relocating the residents of Lawhon to Mahaleague for intensive construction work.

"So that's what's going on."

There are about 15 villages in the Principality of Mercana. The total of all of them is less than half of the manpower needed to rebuild Lawhon.

It could be said that the power was so concentrated in the center, or it could be said that Markitas destroyed the cities first.

Anyway, Cacacea insisted that it would be better to go to Mahaliegh now to get more information.

Since he was accompanied by Cachair as a guide, Jin decided to listen to Cachair's advice.

* * * * * * * * * *

The straight line distance from Tazi village to Mahaleague is less than 200 km. < had flown through in an hour.

"Oh, it looks like about two thirds of the area has been rebuilt.

From the air, Mahaleg seems to have been rebuilt in a different design than before, more like the town Jin had known.

In other words, the streets are more like a grid.

"Landing is at ...... Oh, there is an airfield."

An airship, apparently from <>, landed in the square on the west side of the town.

"Sky900, take us there."

"Yes, sir."

This time, I'm going to leave the Sky900 in charge and bring Hope down with me.

Hope also has a connection to this town, which is why she's ......, although one wonders if that's a good idea when the town looks so different.

< landed, the guards rushed over.

"<> Sir Jinn Nido, welcome to Mahaleague!"

He had received word from Tomax Bartmann.

He is very good at making such arrangements, I think. Well, maybe he is supported by his secretaries Manon and Simone.

"......Hey?"

Jin gave Tomax Bartmann two secretary automata, Manon and Simone.

Of the two, Manon seemed to be with Tomax most of the time when he met her, but I had no memory of Simone's presence.

"Hey, Katya, the secretary automata Simone that I gave to Tomax before is ......", Jin said.

Jin decided to ask her,

I'm here, if you're looking for me," a voice said.

He heard a voice saying, "I am here.

"What?"

I looked over to see an automaton with long green hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"I am the leader of the restoration of the former Principality of Mercana, on behalf of Tomax-sama.

"I didn't know that."

Jin was convinced that Simone's processing ability might indeed be suitable for the job.

It would be more of a problem if Tomax Bartmann tried to take care of and us at the same time.

First of all, he would surely be able to do only halfway in both cases.

The man who runs after two hares will not get one.

And Tomax Bartmann may not be aware of it, but Simone and Manon can communicate with each other by means of a built-in manacam, which means that Manon, the secretary, can communicate with Simone by means of a built-in manacam, which means that Simone, the secretary, can communicate with Manon by means of a built-in manacam.

In other words, through Manon, his secretary, Simone is able to know Tomax's thoughts.

Jin imagined that she was able to reduce the burden of Tomax Bartmann by making moves that were in line with his wishes.

"Well, Simone has been organizing this place. Thank you."

"No, it's also my duty as Tomax-sama's secretary.

Jin then decided to take this opportunity to ask Simone about the recovery situation here in Mahaliegh.

"Yes, sir. This way please."

Simone led Jin and the others to a simple building next to the airfield. According to the information we received, this was Simone's office.

Simone does not have to get up and down, so she seems to be able to work in a simple building without any problem.

"Sorry. I thought you were working."

"No, no problem. No, it's not a problem. I've been doing a lot less paperwork lately.

In the early days, there were so many < that it was quite a lot of work just to prioritize them.

But now, he says, the main focus is on <.

"Vague < and are difficult to deal with. They are often just ."

"I see."

"If you can tell us specifically what you need you need it, it is very easy to deal with it."

"Oh, I understand that."

Katya, who usually does accounting work, agreed.

"Now, if you don't mind my asking, I would like to check with Ms. Simone.

"Yes, what is it?"

"What do you know about the magical tools that Jin-san and Eira-san jointly developed and the theory behind them?"
