”Grandpa! You can have the real ship next year!

May, who won the competition with an overwhelmingly fast time, was impressed with the ship Masaru had built according to the instruction manual, and she had some thoughts about the fact that the ship was Masaru's life.

Is this really a good idea? Are you sure you want to go through with this?

”Yeah, next time I'll make sure it's both safe and functional. Yes.

I think May's got the bare minimum, don't you?

I don't think it's the minimum!

There was a flare of challenge in May's eyes.

It's okay. It means you're seriously starting to become a craftsman, not a plaything.

She nodded her head with serious eyes to Victinius' words.

I'll give you this as your prize. I'll give you this.

This is the model ship that Masaru built. She wanted it so badly that when she got her hands on it, she forgot about Masaru and the others and began to observe and analyze it.

You look happy, Mei. I've always thought you were obsessed, but your spirit is different. You look happy, Mei.

It was Adelina who appeared as she said this.

”You're just in time. You said before that the number of people wanting to move to Vintaria is increasing.

What? I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. What?

I have a question for you. Are you willing to support May's shipbuilding technology ......... as a country? Or do you want me to do it for my own pleasure?
