"Regional Revitalization (地域振興(ちいきしんこう) or ......"

 Regional revitalization, also called town revitalization or village revitalization.

"Agriculture, mining, and tourism should be considered first."

 As for agricultural products, there is Kemeria oil, but it does not look very promising. This is because the area of arable land is small to begin with.

Mining is also unlikely.

 The underground resources in Toka Village were mostly mined out about 200 years ago.

 Of course, if you go deeper than 1,000 meters below the ground, you will find something, but it is not realistic to revitalize the village.

"Sightseeing is also ...... good."

 The scenery is not particularly nice.

 The hot spring had stopped running. It is possible to dig it up again, but if it does not run, that is the end of it.

 Unlike the village of Kaina, there is no source of hot spring water, so this will be difficult.

 There are many techniques that cannot be deduced from the finished product ....... The question is whether there are engineers or craftsmen who can master them.

"......"

 Jin was exhausted.

 In the first place, if he could get by with just a day or so of advice, he would have no trouble at all.

"I guess it would be agricultural products. I'd like to grow something that can be produced here and is popular.

"Will that be the case ......?"

 Yuzo Mayaka's shoulders slumped.

 It seems that the discussion with Jin has reaffirmed how little value this village has. Rhodes sensed this and spoke up to follow up.

"Don't get too discouraged, Mr. Village Chief. It took us many years to become self-sufficient in food.

"Thank you. ......"

 He could not produce any results, but after talking with Jin and the others, he seemed to be able to get a better idea of what to do.

"And then..."

 Jin said what he had just thought of.

"There is a large area in Toka village. How about we turn it into an airfield and eventually invite tourists for sightseeing flights?

"Oh!

 The mayor bites his tongue.

"At that time, the Nordic Federation can cooperate with you.

"That's right. We would be very grateful if you could help us then.

 I see...the method, Jin thought.

 The time was 8:30 am. The free golem carriages would not leave until 10:00 a.m., so we decided to take the paid transportation.

"Let's take that one."

 Rhodes pointed to a <, i.e. a golem-powered car.

 There are guards at the gate, who strictly screen anyone who tries to enter. .......

"All right, let's go through."

"Yes, let me in." "Thank you."

 Surprisingly, almost everyone who took the transportation had a free pass.

 On the other hand, those who tried to enter on foot seemed to be subjected to a standard inspection and screening process.

(Are they getting stricter than in the past? ...... or was it like this in the past?)
