Tea time passed, and everyone scattered in different directions to do their own things.

"Well, what about me?"

As Jin said this, he remembered what he had just said to Bina.

So he asked the old man.

"I suppose you have made some progress with Zion by now, haven't you?

"Oh, I see. Well then. ......"

Jin decided to go check it out and called out to Licia.

"Licia, you heard me right. Why don't we go to Toka village for a while?"

"Oh, you don't mind?"

"Yes. We've just made a doppelganger for the family, you can use it.

"Wow, I see. Thank you very much, I will use it!

It is unlikely that anyone in Toka village now knows Licia's face, but just in case.

"Erza, are you coming too?"

Jin asked,

"No, no. You should go with Licia.

She said tolerantly, "Go with Licia.

"Okay. I'll go with her.

"Okay. Bye."

* * * * * * *

Hope and are now on their way to with Jin's doppelganger, so Sky2 takes the controls and we take < to the village of Toka.

Jin has a mini Reiko on his shoulder, and Licia uses her female alter ego (doppelganger) Unit 1.

The default appearance of this doll is adjusted to look like a medium build, around 20 years old, <>, i.e., a knight, a swordsman, etc. In this case, the doll is positioned as a friend of Jin and his bodyguard.

She has chosen the name Lithia instead of Licia.

"Oh, you've done a lot of things, haven't you?

"Oh, yes."

Looking down on Toka village from the sky, we saw an airfield on the west side of the village, and what looked like an inn had been built nearby.

"There are about 30 golems for civil engineering and construction. They are the type of the Nordic Federation, so Zion must be renting them out."

It is hard to believe that the Kingdom of Klein now owns that many golems, and first of all, there were many places that seemed to have been built by Marikka.

"The airfield ...... seems to be operational already. Hope, not Sky 2, land there."

"Yes, sir."

Sky2 has landed Conlon 3 at the edge of the airfield.

There's no storage yet, but that's okay because we're not going to stay the night anyway.

"Okay, Sky 2, you take care of Conlon 3."

"Yes, sir, I'm on it."

When Jin and Licia Doppel (Licia D. Licia) got off the plane, they were greeted by Yuzo Mayaka, the chief of Toka Village.

He seemed to love flying machines as usual, and Jin imagined that he must have seen <> landing and flew to .......

"Well, well, well,<>...... isn't it Jin-sama!"

Seeing him talking under his breath, Lithia is a little taken aback.

"I had to come here today, so I stopped by. I heard ...... that there's going to be an air race here?"

Yuzo Mayaka smiled at this topic.

"Yes, that's right. <

"Oh, you know that much? ......Yes, indeed. But I only introduced him a little. It was the people of the Nordic Federation who made the decision.

"But it was you who started it all, Jin-sama. I'm deeply grateful.

You got me.

Yuzo Mayaka seemed to have guessed that it was Jin's initiative.

* * * *

"With the help of the Kingdom, we have had new water sources drilled and the sewage system has been reconstructed."

As we walked along, the village chief, Yuzo Mayaka, explained to Jin and the others.

"They also built an inn, which will be run by the government for the next five years, and after that it will be sold off."

"Oh, that's good.

Yes. I need this village to develop by then.

"I think it would be the development of local products and ...... transportation."

Jin says the first thing that comes to his mind.

"If the land is suitable for air racing, it means that it is far from the center of the country. It would be different if there were some kind of regular flights.

That's true, but...

"But there is the Kutsud mine, so it would be possible to build a transportation system to get the ore and people to the mine.

The Kutsudo Mine is located far west of Toka Village. Jin thought that the construction of such a road would not be in vain, since it is said to be an excellent mine.

(A trolley train would be difficult. ......)

Jin had seen a video of a trolley train in a certain canyon on TV and wished he could pull something like that, but the concept of a railroad is lacking in the world of Ars.

Considering that the monorail system that was built in the Kingdom of Cerroa in the past was not so popular, it seems that it was not to the people's liking.

(Maybe population density has something to do with it).

Jin has also seen the case of local lines being abolished and replaced by buses, which was his expectation.

(Maybe the development of roads and inns: ......)

Jin thinks that it would be much easier to maintain the roads by using the idea of marching a dozen or so large golems to stampede along the roads.

The only problem is that only the Kingdom of Selroa and the Shoro Kingdom possess such large golems.

( or should do it. ......)

While Jin was thinking about this, Licia, or Lithia, was walking around the village with a nostalgic look on her face.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the hot springs?"

Jin asked as they passed by a deserted hot spring facility. Lithia also looked at the leaning facility with a sense of regret.

"I heard that they stopped running a few hundred years ago. After that, I heard that they were checked several times by an earth mage, but to no avail.

"fumu......"

Jin, the one who did the digging, was a little concerned. So,

"May I take a look at it?"

He asked.

"What?　Oh, of course. Come in!"

The village chief, Yuzo Mayaka, opens the door to the leaning hot springs.

We reach the hot spring facility, clearing away the cobwebs and taking care not to inhale any dust.

"<>...... hmm?　<><>>"

Jin looked satisfied after checking <<>> three times.

"I understand. The hot spring is not dead. Something is clogging up the deeper parts. That's what's preventing the hot springs from flowing.

Actually, Jin knew that the was something artificial, like a , but there was no point in saying so, so he just said .

"Well, how do we get rid of it ......?"

I can think of several ways.

"Father, I will go."

Mini Reiko on my shoulder said.

"Oh, sure, Mini Reiko can do it. ......"

The hole in the hot spring is about 15 centimeters in diameter, and Mini Reiko can pass through it easily enough.

"Okay, will you do it?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

As quickly as she could say it, the mini Reiko jumped into the hole from Jin's shoulder.

"Jin-sama, are you okay?

The village chief, unaware of Mini Reiko's performance, was a bit nervous,

"Well, you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?

Jin waits for Mini Reiko's return.
