"Jin-dono, welcome. Welcome, Miss Reiko.
Jin D and the others were greeted by diplomat Yahal Soumi.
"I'm here today with an urgent report. Your Highness, I request an audience with the Prime Minister.

Jin D, in keeping with his country's traditions, made a straightforward request.
I understand. This is a request from none other than Jin-dono, and I will convey it immediately.
Yahal Soumi immediately agreed to Jin D's request as they drove to the town in the Golem car.

"First of all, I would like to give you a report. I was in the Principality of Norway until yesterday. I accompanied His Royal Highness Prince Zifora on his inspection tour in the Lake Yato area.

At the mention of the word "Lake Yato," the faces of the people of the Principality of Mimaka changed. But none of them opened their mouths.
Jin D. continued.
"First of all, it was the governor of that region who said that it was okay to disrespect the fishing boats of the principality of Mimaka when fishing in the lake.

Jin D. then cut him off, checked that there were no questions, and continued his explanation.
"And neither His Majesty the King, His Highness the Prince, nor anyone else in the city knew about the order. It was completely at the discretion of the deputy. ...... So I took two local fishermen as witnesses that the deputy had given such instructions and went to the deputy's residence."
The others nodded silently. Jin D. continued.

"We questioned the deputy, and he reacted strangely, so we irradiated him with a
"What a ......!"
The first word leaked out here.

"Now that the brainwashing has been lifted, the deputies are able to make normal judgments, and they will crack down on any unreasonable behavior when fishing."
Jin D. concluded by saying that the prince had told him that a formal explanation and apology for the incident would be made at a later date.

"...... I see, it was the fault of the brainwashed deputies."
The Prince Gaspar de Mimaca said with a relieved face.
"So, the Duchy of Norway is going to make a formal apology?"

The Prime Minister also relaxed his grim face.
"Yes. First of all, I have come here first to give an explanation to the Principality of Mimaka.
"Very well, I understand. And thank you, Jin-dono.

The discussion then proceeded on a different theme.
"I assume that the Principality of Norway is in the most dangerous position, since it is bordered by a long border line and the Principality of Jagus has ambitions to expand eastward.

In that sense, the Principality of Mimaka has a very short border with the Principality of Jagus.
It was no exaggeration to say that there was virtually no contact between the two countries, as they were separated only by the summit of an unnamed peak.
But we must be on our guard. First of all, please give me this."

Prince Gaspar de Mimaka was frankly delighted.
"Not knowing who is friend and who is foe can cause suspicion and doubt.

The Prime Minister nodded his head in admiration at Jin's skill.
"It covers an area within a radius of about 10 kilometers, so the royal capital should be safe.
Jin D said that he would feel much safer if the center of the country could be protected.

I tried to activate the device, but there seemed to be no one in the castle who had been brainwashed.
"Let's set it up right away.

Since it was in the back of the castle, we decided to install it in the office.

The discussion continued over lunch.
Sandwiches were served, and the discussion was held in a chatty manner while eating them.

The theme, as expected, was food-related topics.
"In the Principality of Norway, the catch of fish in Lake Yato is decreasing," he said.

When Jin said this, Industry Minister Jinzuo Mihoyasu agreed.
"I didn't know you said that over there, too. I think the decline in the catch is a serious problem here, too.

"Well, what kind of fish can you catch in Lake Yato?"
Jin asked, just to be sure.
"Culp, ruggill, and hot roe, I think.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Carp are carp-like fish, Ruggill is bass-like fish, and hot roto is a species of trout that prefers warm water, it seems.
"The decline is probably due to overfishing," the industry minister said ruefully.
The industry minister said regretfully.

"You don't farm them?"
Jin D. asks.

"Aquaculture? No, we do not.
Still, he seemed to know the word "aquaculture," Jin D. thought.
"For example, I think it would be quite different if we hatched the eggs, raised the fry until they reach a certain size, and released them into the lake.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
The fry are the weakest and most vulnerable to predation, Jin explained.
Keeping fish in a fishpond is not the only way to cultivate them.
"I see. ...... I guess we can do it that way."

The Minister of Industry's face brightened a little.
As a side note, Zinzou Mihoyas had just become Minister of Industry two years ago, and so far had yet to make any significant achievements.

However, he had not forgotten our chat at that time, and he had his research on a method to hatch eggs, which greatly improved the catch of fish, and he was awarded a medal later in the year, but that's another story.
But that is another story.

"Now, about the water shortage..."
Jin D offered technical assistance on the shortage of water, a common problem in the principality.

"If you give us permission to do a little geological survey, we can find out if there are any underground water veins.
"Oh, you can do that too? That's wonderful! I would like you to conduct a survey!"
Minister Ryuji F. Katsuki praised Jin with respect.

"It is an application of engineering magic!"
Jin D replied, offering to set a date and place for the survey.
"No, I will leave that to Jin-dono.
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Jin D. seems to realize vaguely that such a survey would yield better results if it were not restricted in any way.
Since both the King and the Prime Minister agreed, Jin D. decided to start his own investigation the next day.
He decides to ask for an official permit and a letter of attorney from the dukedom to avoid any unnecessary trouble in the area.

"Well, we will start our investigation tomorrow.
Jin-dono, I'm counting on you.

"Yes, you can count on me."
This allowed us to conduct a more detailed investigation than we would have been able to do with the peepers.
