Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

After giving all the babies in the village powdered milk (cans of powdered milk and breastfeeding bottles were left one at a time in each house explaining how to use them) and finishing the big job of giving all the sick villagers a Lipo D, the two returned to the mansion's living room to get to the next job.

It is a cookout.

But just as inactive without sleep, the two were hetero and decided to take a small break while sitting back and drinking Lipo D.

"Oh, this medicine is delicious. It's very different than I thought."

Hold the Lipo D you received from Ichiyana with both hands and drink little by little, says Barletta.

"Isn't that right? I like this flavor, too, and I drink it sometimes, not every day..."

The truth is that I take one Lipo D every morning and start the activity, but it also turns out to be a strange story that I take my medication every day, so I changed the expression.

"That's right, the food situation in this village seems pretty bad, but can you tell me what happened?

Barletta clouded her expression when Ichigo asked her what she had been concerned about ever since she returned to the village.

"It hasn't rained much lately, and the water in the storage pond has dried up in the sun..."

"Oh, the drought has hit the crop..."

When Yi Liang was satisfied with Barletta's dialogue, Barletta continued her words spicidly.

"The direct cause is sunshine, but if it was back in the day, if you could draw water from a big river a little further away, I could handle it. But because of the war that lasted until four years ago, the young people in the village almost died... and in the sun for such a long time as this one, they were understaffed and unable to protect their crops."

"Was there a war until recently?

"What?"

To a good dialogue, Barletta gave a decent look for a moment, but soon began to explain the war in a good way, looking like she was convinced of something.

"Yes, there was a war between Barbell and our country, Arcadia, for six years up to four years ago. I don't know the details of why it was a war, but I've heard Mr. Narson's servant say Barbell has suddenly invaded. So, young men were gathered from our village as soldiers, but as the war progressed, they seemed to be understaffed, and women were hunted out by the war, except for the elderly and young children."

Listening to Barletta, Ichigo roared "Uhm".

From the story, I guess the war that broke out between Barbell and Arcadia was such a tough battle for Arcadia that even men and women from previous years were called together.

Maybe he didn't see Barletta's mother since he came to the village because he lost his life in the war.

"Barbell was at war with countries other than Arcadia, but now, four years ago, all the countries that were at war with Barbell made alliances. By forming an alliance, nations began to collaborate, and Barbell, the great power, was just short of breath, and an offer from Barbell led to an eight-year truce."

"Every country has reached its limits in a long war."

In other words, I guess the massive sacrifices made in that war led to a shortage of labor and still afflict Arcadia.

The loss of young human beings, at the heart of the workforce at once, may be plunging them into a vicious circle where food productivity is reduced, the population is not growing and the workforce is further reduced.

Perhaps towns and cities outside this village are in a similar or stopping situation.

"This is the fourth year of the truce, so in four more years it will expire. If the war were to resume in four years' time, I think I would be convened as a soldier."

To that dialogue, Ichigo lost his word.

Even young women like Barletta, who are unlikely to be very suitable for battle, may be forced out to battle in four more years.

When Ichiyoshi shut up without being able to say anything, Barletta stood up saying "let alone".

"It's time to get ready for dinner. Thanks to the medicine Kazura gave me, I was completely tired."

To Barletta, who says so and smiles, he answers "Right, do you want to do it" and stands up.

"I have a big pot in the barn of the mansion that I use to cook for the festival. With that, you can also cook meals for all the villagers. But I use a lot of firewood for a large amount of money, so I have to ask everyone in the village to split the firewood."

"I see... then I'll prepare the pan, so can Mr. Barletta tell the villagers to go around and bring the firewood because we'll cook it out? And it would be helpful if you could bring a little bit of water."

"Okay. Then I think it's time for my father to wake up, so ask my father how to place the pan, etc."

Thus, when Barletta gave a good idea of where the barn was,

"Okay, you're going. Excuse me, but thank you for your time."

I said, I left the mansion grounds on a small run.

Ichiyoshi is running away, dropping off Barletta's back.

"War... I wonder where I am and what I am doing then"

And he shrugged.

"Wow, this is huge. I think I can afford a hundred people at a time."

Along with the village chief, who had been up shortly afterwards, he pulled a large pan of bronze, likely a meter in diameter, out of the barn, and Ichiyoshi leaked an exclamation.

The depth is also 50 cm, which would also make porridge for 100 people.

"Um, always at the festival time, I made a lot of soup in this pot and behaved like a villager. It's popular with villagers because they hunt cuffs in the mountains and add a lot of meat and vegetables."

"Ho, is it soup with meat? If you make a lot, it'll taste extra good."

Yiliang said, "I wonder if Kahuk is like a deer or a pig. Well, does the word soup work," he nodded to the village chief's story.

"By the way, what the hell kind of rice are you going to use for the porridge you're going to make?

"Uh, it's not that flavorful of food, but it's a nutritious grain. I actually cook it without porridge, but a lot of people are weak, so I thought I'd make it porridge."

Ichiran explained to the village chief that when the two of us made the foundation of the pot out of stone that had been in the barn, they put the pot on and put 30 kg of unwashed rice inside.

I also feel a little too much, but it would be better than missing it later.

Later, when he had finished preparing the whole way and Yiliang had heard from the village chief about the situation of the village and so on, Pompous and the villagers began to do it with firewood and water buckets.

Some of the villagers who came were given drugs and lipo d by Ichigo before sunrise.

"Thank you for the medicine earlier, Kazla. Thanks to you, I can walk like this now."

The villagers, who say so and give thanks for their good hands, look good and healthy.

Apparently, in this world, Lipo D can be seen to perform considerably.

"That's good. I'm going to make porridge all over the pot, so eat a cup of belly and cheer up more."

Work with the villagers who came and install firewood with water in the pan.

All the villagers thanked each other well and thickly, and some of the mothers who made their children drink powdered milk took a good hand in tears.

As such, while Ichiyoshi was surrounded by villagers as they were thanked, Barletta also returned, and we all worked on the cuteness and cooking of the porridge.

"This is delicious! I've never eaten such delicious porridge!

"True, there's plenty of salt in there, and this plum is soothing, but it's delicious!

When the pot took about two hours to finally get the porridge due to the large size of the pot, Ichiyoshi also let Barletta turn to the eating side and let the porridge go and distribute it to the villagers.

The villagers, who spoke porridge, all held their mouths together and said, "Yum!," he said with a voice of surprise and joy.

"(Speaking of which, the arcadian worm juice I ate yesterday didn't taste much either. I guess there was absolutely no seasoning)"

In this world where even salt seems to be traded at a high price, most of the flavors are just the flavors of the ingredients used.

He was eating arcadian worms saying they were delicious and delicious, I also felt like I knew how Barletta and the village chief felt.

"Hey, why are you dressed so weird?

"Huh?"

One 5-6 year old boy stopped by and pulled his best clothes as he thought about it as he handed out porridge to the villagers who would happily replace him many times.

To that word, Ichigo compares his outfit to that of a villager for the first time.

Ichigo is a white short sleeve shirt and jeans with thin stripes, and the shoes are a bit of an expensive sneaker.

In exchange, the villagers wear grass-knitted sandal-like footwear on the coarse, simple rugged top and bottom of the seams.

Obviously, the good outfit was floating.

"Yeah, this is..."

"Colts!!

When the best is worried about how to answer, a motherly woman rushes in and holds a boy,

"Sorry!

And he bowed his head deeply, and before Ichiyoshi hung his words, he ran away holding the child.

Looking at the back of a woman running away wondering what the hell she was, she realized that the gaze of all the villagers was concentrated in a good way.

The hustle and bustle of the past involved a tense silence, and the villagers have an uneasy look on their face for some reason.

"Ka, Mr. Kazra, the..."

"Uh, what's wrong with you guys? Is there something on my face?

When Yi Ying replied that to Barletta, who had spoken in a hurry, I felt that the tension that had been straining around me had been lifted at once.

"Oh, no! It's nothing! Well, let me take your place too!

"Oh, yes, that's fine"

Even while Ichigo had porridge in Valletta, he heard words like "good" and "you have to be careful" from afar, but he told Barletta and the villagers around him who were obviously horny, "About what? I was also hesitant to ask," so I decided to forget.

"Yes, there are seven more bags of rice left, so when you're done cooking, teach everyone how to make porridge and let it hold separately with plums and salt. We'll bring lots of rice and salt from the country later, so you don't have to worry about food anymore."

One peach can at a time in each house, he thought, "Thank you, Master Graciole," Barletta whined in a small voice that didn't sound good.
