Okay, okay, okay.
Rubina is happy to have won the competition, but she is also happy to have the extra prize of competing with Jin's plane.

Jin accepted Rubina's offer, thinking that even if he had a little trouble sleeping, he would not have to worry about it since the Golem would be piloting the plane.
"What about the rules? Should they be the same as this competition?

Okay.
Jin, I'll get them.
Oh, will you do that?

"It's ...... frustrating," he said.
"Yes, I understand. But you're just getting started. You're not going to make it big if you don't know how to ...... lose."
"That's true. Goh, use your frustration as a springboard to do your best again.

Goh was still looking down, so Jin began to talk to himself, without saying anything to anyone.

"...... yes?"
What?

Jin-sama?
That time it was called a bird strike... a bird got sucked into the jet's inlet and the engine stopped.

"Yes, it did. I'm sorry about that time.
"No, I told you at that time that it was not Reiko's fault.

Hearing this exchange, Rubina and Goh seemed to feel a sense of familiarity, knowing that even Jin had made such mistakes. Especially Goh.
"Oh, um, does Jin-sama make mistakes too, ......?"

"And Reiko here has always helped me," he says.
