Magi Craft Meister

At the head of the Kingdom of Klein, plans for development around the village of Toka were discussed day after day.

"This' air race 'turned out to attract too many customers. We need to think about the future and build more accommodation."

"That's true, of course, but we need to do street maintenance before we do that. Transporting supplies is important."

"Of course it's important, but we need to train technicians to build wind floaters and compete in our country. This is not something you can do overnight, so if you want to start, we need to do it early..."

"You may also want to develop a racetrack in Toka Village so that it can be rented out in the absence of a race. In order to do this, we need to develop ancillary facilities such as maintenance plants and hangars."

"... oh, it's about money hanging!!

The Finance Minister of the Kingdom of Klein, Auburn Tuday Swayow, raised his voice in mourning.

The Klein kingdom's finances are still under duress.

"But it's ridiculous to owe money to another country."

General Secretary Bean Shaw Border also agreed.

"But this is an opportunity, so to speak. If you invest here, you can expect big returns in the future"

"I know that..."

Prime Minister Phyllistel van Todes still has a sinister face.

"I can't just focus on you."

"Uhm......"

King of the Kingdom of Klein, Mercurance I also contemplates.

"Maybe we should still be prepared to develop debt."

"Your Majesty...!

The prime minister panics, but the finance minister is nodding.

"If you decide…"

"Mm-hmm. It's just that things also involve the floating of the country. I'd like to take a vote here once."

"Right...... Then, those who are in favor of debt and development."

When the Chancellor declares so,

First the hand of Finance Minister Auburn was raised, then that of General Secretary Bean, and Prime Minister Phyllistel.

Minister of Industry Tader Zokoy Milana, Defense Minister Molder Marse Melder and Magic and Technology Minister Cowen Lakka Kido seemed to disagree.

"Hmm, if I agree here, it will be passed by a majority vote."

King Mericalance I said so, but he is a face that does not float. After all, I guess I'm concerned about the critical majority vote.

So the king decided to listen to the opposition.

"Tader, Minister of Industry, tell me why you disagree"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the Minister of Industry had one meeting, he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Our Klein Kingdom's budget is finite, measures to look to the future and the promotion of technology are much better. But you can't flout the present."

"Hmm, what do you mean?

"This year's work means it's 'slightly defective'"

"I see."

It is said to be the result of a combination of harvests such as spring wheat, winter wheat, legumes, potatoes, soba, vegetables and fruit.

The Minister of Industry concluded that the state budget for the coming financial year must also be reduced as it stood.

"Hmmm.... how's the mine earnings?

"Kutud mines, right?... Yes, its revenues, thanks to Lord Jin, have doubled to 2.5 times before the loan. But it's not enough to compensate for the reduction in agricultural yields…"

"I see, is that so"

Mericalance I dropped his shoulder.

"So, how's Defense Minister Mulder?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Let me answer that."

Defense Minister Molder Marse Melder spoke slowly.

"It is good that the threat of the 'Magic League' has left, but there are not enough troops because they deported those who were under its umbrella or were affected. I also need a budget to train recruits, and I was wondering if defense would be acceptable as it is now."

"I see. I mean?

"Temporarily, yes, but I'd like you to hire mercenaries or increase your combat golems."

This also costs me money again. Mericalance I sighed.

"Cowen, what about the Minister of Magic and Technology?

"Yes, Your Majesty. … We believe that the development of Toka Village will require a variety of magic aids, but it is unlikely that we will be able to prepare them by the end of the fiscal year."

The Minister of Magic and Technology explained that it was not a budgetary one and that a preparatory period was needed.

"Of course, with a budget, we can shorten delivery times."

And he was also claiming a subtle budget.

"Hmm, okay"

Mericalance I sighed small, then

"Get your hands on the emergency budget"

I said.

"Emergency budget!?

"Your Majesty, it...!

Emergency budget. Read it. It's a matter of words.

It is a budget for use in the event of a state emergency.

Generations of kings of the kingdom of Klein have piled up...... the point is' whiskers'.

Nevertheless, since it is a state-scale whisker, its total amount is roughly equal to the national budget of the Kingdom of Klein.

"An emergency is nothing but war and famine. We must overlook the opportunity for the country to take a leap… this is also an 'emergency'"

Mericalance I said clearly.

"... if that's all you think about, I won't say anything anymore"

The Chancellor turned to the King and bowed his head deeply. And the remaining towns likened it.

"Build streets to Toka Village"

"In parallel, so as to proceed with the construction of accommodation in the villages of Toka, Lachnot, Doppa and Charles"

"Allow ordering of 300 generic golems. 100 of them will be temporarily loaned to the military for combat use."

"Please sign up for 'Avalon' and get in touch with Lord Deus Ex Makina. And ask for your help."

Instructions flew.

Future generations, it was the beginning of a great reform that would be called 'The English Break of Mercurance I'.

Getting in touch with Deus Ex Makina naturally means getting in Jen's ear as well.

"The kingdom of Klein has come to an end."

"Yes, Master (My Lord)"

"Hmmm... 'Wind Tunnel' I'm planning, shall I make it... at real cost"

The other day, I was talking to Rhodotos and others.

"It would probably be interesting if we could take Toka Village to the heart of the 'aircraft industry' in the Klein Kingdom"

'Right, I'll look into the market, so why don't you make it up with about plus alpha'

"Right."

There, Lisia looked at me when I heard the story.

"Thank you, Jin..."

"No, actually, the terrain and weather conditions in Toka Village are suitable for aircraft test flights."

It wasn't Dade who chose to host the 'Air Race', Jen said.

"Let's also use Makina to assist you, old man, mentor"

"Okay."

Because of Jen's concern, the development of Toka Village will go one step further.
