Well...there's a new port and shipyard in a town under construction next to Vintaria, but there's one big problem here: .... "Well...

When Masaru went to report to Adelina and Zarg at the castle, his tone was unusually somber.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm not sure what to do. In fact, the shipyard itself seems to be in good shape, but the training of shipbuilders is not up to par. ...

I don't know how to say this, but it's ironic. I don't know what to say.

The problem is that even if they learn the same skills, as things get bigger, they need to apply them, which leads to a further lack of skills. The problem is that even if you learn the same technology, as things get bigger, you need to apply it, and that's where the shortage comes in.

Adelina and Zarg are not technicians, so they don't know the extent of the technology shortage.

"How much education will it take to materialize?

"Three to ten years at the earliest, ......... and one to three generations of proficiency if we're not careful. If you want to be safe, you should make it a 30-year project. I don't know.

"That much?

Adelina shouts in surprise, and Masaru follows suit.

"We'll need to train the sailors as well. I can't.

I'm not sure what to do. I don't know. I don't even know what to say to Mei.

"I will build the ship for Mei and the next winner as promised. But it's a mid-size ship. It's a 30-meter hull, and if I think it's dangerous, I'll modify it. Okay?

That's all well and good, but why are you suddenly saying you're not going to do everything? Is there a reason?

......................

Zarg, who had been watching the proceedings in silence, suddenly intervenes and asks a question. Masaru is silent, but in this case, silence is a good thing.

I'm sure you've heard of it. ......... Masaru stops when someone says something to him. ......... Oh, it's Mr. Victinius. I'm sorry.

"......... every single intuition ......... is right. Don't do everything yourself, teach and lead. If you don't, you'll never really grow up! That's it. ......... Hey, I'm not mad at you! It's just a warning!

I'm sure you're not the only one. Well, if it's fine with Masaru, it's fine with me. No!

It's not good!

Adeleina's angry voice cut off Zarg's stunned and sympathetic gaze.

Our country has no money! If we had shipbuilding and navigation skills, we could make a lot of money! I've never heard of a ......... self-sufficient nation! I don't want to, can we start trading with a bigger country and barter? How dare you!

In fact, the other day there was an incident where a trade was made with the village of the dark elves, and they had trouble making payment, so they sold various tools in the city before making payment and managed to get some money.
Perhaps that was too much for her, but Adelina wants to promote shipbuilding and sailing as a major business of the country in order to obtain money.

I understand that you don't have money, but do you know what you're doing? I know you don't have a lot of money, but do you understand that if a ship fails, the crew is basically dead? I'm sure you're not the only one who'd like to see this happen. The old Cooks didn't even report it because they didn't want to be in that kind of trouble. (See Part 20: Isn't it enough to dream when you're sleeping? See also.

If you fail, the children will die. ......... Let me think. Let me think.

Adelina leaves the room with a pale face, and Zag and I look after her with a wry smile. Yes, giving up is necessary in the world. What is impossible is impossible.
