It is mid-November and the wind in Toka Village is getting colder.

However, the bustle of activity is enough to dispel the cold and create a great deal of enthusiasm.
"Well, it's almost ready, isn't it?

"Yes, Your Majesty."
With the help of a giant deus ex machina golem, the maintenance of the roads was completed within a week.

By the way, the road between Charles Town and Toka Village was paved 400 years ago by Jin with <
Since Jin led the construction, the pavement was very durable, but after his death, Toka village became desolate and maintenance was not carried out anymore.
As a result, about half of the sections were destroyed by grass and tree roots, or buried in soil and sand, and had to be re-maintained.

Conversely, half of the sections remained in a paved condition, which meant that the work could be finished earlier.
This macadam pavement doubled the speed of horse-drawn wagons and golem cars.

Thus, a golem vehicle could cover the distance between the capital city of Arban and the village of Toka, a distance of about 190 kilometers, in a single day.
When one considers that 400 years ago, the same distance would have taken about five days by horse-drawn wagon, it is a world apart.
And with <

The well-maintained airfield spread out before the eyes of King Mericarance I of the Kingdom of Klein, who was visiting the airport for the inspection.

And the maintenance golem provided by Jin and Makina.
In the northern corner of the airfield, a monument made of natural stone stands quietly.

"Your Majesty, thank you for waiting."
"Oh, Mister Jin, I'm sorry to bother you."
Jin had also come from Horai Island because Mericarance I was coming to visit. Makina was standing next to him.

"However, I admire your and Makina's skills, and I'm very impressed with how far you've come ...... in such a short period of time."
"I am honored. But that is only possible if you can help others.
"Hmm, you are humble. ...... By the way, what is that?"

Mericarance I pointed to a group of children playing in the grassy field, throwing dish-shaped objects less than 30 centimeters in diameter.
"It's called a flying saucer," he said, "and it's a plaything I made recently.

The saucer was made of a slightly hardened rubber so that it would not hurt when it hit the children's faces.
It was also colored, and the children were playing with flying saucers of various colors.
"They look like they are having fun.

Mr. Corwin, the Minister of Magic and Technology who had accompanied the King, muttered to himself.
"It glides through the air. Can't we apply this to a real machine ......? It makes me dizzy.
"Ha, yes."

Piloting an unmanned ...... Golem would be possible, but Jin thought it wouldn't make much sense.
"And what's that?"

Minister of Magic and Technology Corwin is impressed,
"I haven't really thought that far ahead. It's just that the children will enjoy it.
Jin says honestly, "Oh, I see.

Reinhardt brought his own

The purpose of the aircraft was to fly leisurely, and as it slowly circled the flight course, the children gathered around it for some reason.
"Hey, hey, big brother, can we ride with you?"
"Hey, hey, big guy, can we ride with you?"

"Yeah... ...... hmmm..."
Reinhardt's plane was going about 10 kilometers per hour, while Jin's plane was going over 100 kilometers per hour.
Which is more child-friendly: .......

"Okay, but we're taking turns, right?"
"Wow!"
So, Reinhardt has Leela pilot the plane, limiting the speed to less than 10 km/h and the altitude to 1 meter, taking two passengers at a time in five-minute shifts. It was Reinhardt who was flying them in five-minute shifts.

"Hmmm, but it is a very stable aircraft.
Corwin, the Minister of Magic and Technology, who had been looking at it for a while, let out a voice of admiration.
"Yes. We could increase the speed if we wanted to, but we have children on board.

The viewer can see that the triangular kite-like wing changes its wind direction after receiving the wind in a good manner and gains propulsive force like a sailboat's sail.

The relative position of the pilot's seat is also set to lower the center of gravity and increase stability.
"So this is one way to use it."

"It is also necessary to change the configuration of the aircraft or the design itself, depending on the application."
Jin explained that this is a way of thinking that is only possible with small aircraft that can keep the unit cost per aircraft low.
"I see, that's right."

Minister Cowen nodded his head and thought for a moment about how his country should deploy the technology.

While Minister Corwin was talking with Jin, Mericolance I was talking with deus ex machina.
"I thank you for your help in maintaining the roads.

"No, no, we were able to complete it in a very short time with the help of Jin-sama.

But we can't just talk about such things.

"Mister Machina, how about the general-purpose golem I asked you for the other day?
Since it will take time to build up our forces, the plan is to temporarily fill the gap with golems.

We have asked Jin and Makina for 300 general-purpose golems that can be used in other departments once we have enough manpower.
"Yes, 100 in 10 days, 1,000 in 10 days after that, and 1,000 in 10 days after that. I think we can deliver 100 in 10 days, 1,000 in 10 days after that, and the remaining 100 in another 10 days.

"Oh, so soon!
Mericarance I was pleasantly surprised.
"So, where should we deliver them? We would like to bring them here to the village of Toka, because we need a large airfield to transport such a large number.

"Yes, that's no problem."
Mericarance I thought that some of the land would be used for the development of the villages of Toka, Racneau, Doppa, and Charles, and that it could be moved to Albán to plant trees, install street lights, and put the finishing touches on the road maintenance.
"Yes, that's a good idea.

And Machina agreed with him.
"So, we will provide the seedlings for planting, but we would also appreciate it if you could make magic lamps to be used for street lighting.
This is Bean Shaw Border, the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, who was standing next to Mericolance I.

"Of course. The road to the town of Charles is about 70 kilometers. If we put one every 100 meters, that would be 70, and if we put one every 50 meters, that would be 1,400.
If we place them every 100 meters, it would be 700, and if we place them every 50 meters, it would be 1400.
I understand. I will work with Mr. Jin and have them ready for delivery in 10 days.

"Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much.
Thus began the development of the Kingdom of Klein.
