"Number 1, in the red swimsuit is Miss Reece, 2nd place qualifier! She is one of the favorites to win!
For the finals, it seems that the numbers will be reassigned. Jin recognized the small sailor named Reece.
(She was on Valentino's team, right?)

) He had nothing to do with Valentino's plot, so he was not charged with any crime and was still participating in the competition.

Elsa has participated in this tournament before, so there is a rich international flavor to this event.
"Mr. Bernardo, the commentator, what are your predictions for today?
Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
Yes, I think that number 6 will be strong. I think number 6 is still strong. In the qualifying round the day before yesterday, he seemed to be a little out of tune, but still, his speed was that fast. Since all the boats are the same type of trimaran, the deciding factor may be the driving method.
"I see. How about a ...... guest, Jin-san, with a horizontal waterwheel drive ...... screw?"
At this point, the conversation turned to Jin. Jin was waiting for the explanation.

Yes, I developed the waterwheel drive myself, but that one splashes water, doesn't it?
"Yes, that's right.
Yes, that's right." "The splashing water doesn't help to move the boat. But that is not the case with the horizontal water wheel drive ...... screw. Do you know what this means?"

"Well, it means that there is no waste?"
"Yes, that's right. That means that if you drive them with the same force, they will be the fastest ......"
"You mean it's the fastest?"

At this point Jin laughed.
"I wish it worked that way. The results will be proven by the competition.
Jin was getting better at speaking up in such a situation.

At the same time, she understood that since she was visiting as a semi-official, her personal friendship with him would take a back seat.
As for Jin, he had a surprise event in mind.

The number 3 boat seemed to be going the fastest, and was literally out in front of the second place boat.
"Mr. Bernardo, number 3 is playing a good game, isn't he?

"Yes, it is. In the first stage, it's a disaster if you get behind the slower boats.
Even if they wanted to go on, they could not go on, and the stress was getting to them.
"The first boat, number 3, has left the channel!"

The second stage is in the open sea. There are no lateral restrictions of any kind. It is a speed competition of approximately 10 kilometers.
The boats jump out of the narrow channel and speed up as if they were being bounced.
"Oh, number 1 is fast! Number 6 is catching up! 3, 1, 6, 4, 8, 7, 2, 5... ...ah, now 8 and 7 have switched places!

"When you entered the wide area, all the boats increased their speed at the same time, didn't they, Mr. Bernardo?

"That's right. In the case of water wheel drive, as Mr. Jin mentioned earlier, there will be splashes. Therefore, we do not want to be directly behind the boat.
Since the operator is a human being, there is a disadvantage of being covered by the droplets, which can obstruct his vision and make it difficult for him to breathe.
Therefore, in large areas, the boats are spread out to the left and right.
