“I left the rest of the fitting-out process of the Utopia Republic to Count Bozes, I guess it’s fine to leave it as it is…” (Mitsuha)

Mitsuha, who doesn’t know about Sabine-chan’s [New Continent’s Language Acquisition Plan], said such a thing carefreely .

The meaning of fitting-out in shipbuilding terms is the installation process of the main engine and mechanical devices, interior construction work, and the likes are performed after the hull almost completed and about to be launched .

So Mitsuha a.s.sumed that when the basic structure of the artificial island has been completed and the top objects (the mansion and the warehouses) have been placed, means that the [Building and Launching] stage has been completed according to shipbuilding process . And the later part of the [fitting-out], that is, the setup of the water supply system around the mansion and the fine finishing of the stone steps at the dock, was thrown to Count Bozes .

It’s not unreasonable because the island is jointly managed by the two territory, and the head of the company is Beatrice-chan .

In other words, Mitsuha was in charge of the parts that she could acquire for free and left the troublesome and money consuming parts to Count Bozes .

And [Utopia Republic] was the name of an artificial island that Mitsuha read in a novel in her brother’s room .

(Note: My otaku knowledge wasn’t enough to recognize this, the closest clue I can find is a book by Luc Folliet, but of course, I haven’t read it, so I can’t confirm)

The fictional island that straddles j.a.pan’s territorial water and international waters, it’s j.a.pan but at the same time it’s not j.a.pan, anyone can enter without a pa.s.sport, and they’re not bound by j.a.panese law, it is certainly a [Surprisingly utopia!] .

…However, the name of the island Mitsuha built was of course, [Kigan Island], not [Utopia Republic] .

“Well, as a finishing touch, I guess I will put a solar power system and home fuel cell that powered by propane gas, attach it to the radio and maybe a refrigerator as an after-service… And consult with Count-sama, whether we should connect the island to the coast with wooden floating bridge or not . Alright, let’s go to the next plan!” (Mitsuha)

“what did you say!? Viscount Yamano just started trading with another country!?” (King of Vanel)

The king of Vanel shouted and stood up reflexively .

“Yes sir, in each of the surrounding countries, a representative firm just like Rephilia Trade is set up and collectively wholesales Viscount Yamano’s goods . Originally, the goods purchased from Rephilia Trade were prohibited from being sold abroad, and it seems that the same rules were applied in other countries as well, including our own country, so it has little effect on international trade…” (PM of Vanel)

The king shouts at the Prime Minister who reported so .

“You stupid fool! It’s not about the small amount of liquor, food or spices that Rephilia Trade handles! What do you think that Viscount Yamano is working alone for!? It means that the preliminary surveys and solidification of the ground to conduct the full-scale trade with her home country have already been decided! Not only liquor, food and spices, but also the specialty products such as jewelry will be traded on a national scale in the future . Those may be taken away by other countries . You should have more sense of crisis!” (King of Vanel)
