Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

Afternoon in five days.

Ichiran and Zirconia in armor and I were riding a carriage and traveling through the barn area of Isteria with a flowing view.

The carriage in which the two of them are riding is shaped like a roofed riding carriage.

In the front, Isaac and Havel, who rode, are leading the carriage.

From behind, the close guards of the second legion, who rode as well, were following.

"It's the glass you got, but the merchant said even the smallest item would have a selling price of over 20,000 al. However, when that amount comes out, it's unlikely to be avoided."

"Hmm... Is the glass mined in the mine that rare?

"Things like what Mr. Kazra gave you are extremely rare. We also produce obsidian from the northwestern mountainous areas, but there are few examples of such beautiful things being mined"

A few days ago, Ichiyoshi had handed her own baked glass balls to Zirconia and Narson.

I told you to look into the sale price and the sales route, but it still seems inevitable to stand out.

"Really... isn't this how you sell it off less noticeably?

"I know you have the means if not the regular distribution route, but when you become a merchant who can handle that amount... it may be possible if you are a merchant who deals with stolen goods from the beginning, but I don't think there are many such merchants because Istail territory is tightly controlled"

"Mm, is that right? Does that mean it's a pretty valuable store over there?"

"Is there something I can do for you?

To a good dialogue, Zirconia gave a surprised look.

I guess it's surprising that there's such a twat at the one that's been busy moving around from time to time.

The fact that there is a connection with the stolen goods dealer is, in itself, an unlikely story given a good position.

"Yeah, I know only one place that looks like that. Thought maybe you could use it."

"Was I? Okay, we'll visit later together. Because if you order a deal in exchange for your own safety in the name of the Istell family, the merchant will have to obey."

"Oh, no, if you get too high pressure, you might get away with it later, or you might get a bad idea, so let's move on peacefully."

To Zirconia, who makes noisy proposals, Ichigo hastily put forward a counterproposal.

If I ordered a job in exchange for my safety, I would certainly snort on the spot.

But that would definitely get you lost first, and there is a very good chance that you will wash and leak this suggestion externally just in retaliation.

"This one is in a position to ask you to sell the glass in secret, so I don't think it will work the way you want it not to give them some flavor either. I was wondering if we should have some rewards."

"I see, that's true. I haven't really done that kind of rush..."

To a good suggestion, Zirconia nodded as she was convinced.

It is easier to handle it later on by feeding it and hand nosing it than by threatening it to obey it.

While you keep letting them suck on your sweet juice, you should follow this one.

However, care must be taken not to let them get too far on track.

"Nevertheless, when was Mr. Kazra acquainted with such a person? I don't think I usually had a chance to get out of town alone."

"Uh... well, there's a lot going on"

While we were talking about that, the carriage arrived at the planned opening outside the barn zone.

There was one well dug in there, and all the exterior frames and inside walls of the well were reinforced with wooden planks.

When Ichigo and Zirconia got out of the carriage, Isaac and Habel also came down from Rata and rushed over.

"So shall we get through the rock bed quickly? Mr. Isaac, have this."

Ichigo handed it to Isaac as he pulled out the engine breaker that had been placed in the corner of the carriage.

In addition, the petrol generator and air compressor brought from the mansion will also be unloaded by the well.

Wear a dust mask integrated with safety goggles and a yellow helmet on the head that says' Safety first '.

Plus if you wear a military hand and put a cloth towel around your neck, you're all set.

"You'll be a little confused."

When Ichirano turned that down, he switched on the generator.

As soon as possible, the sound of an engine that sounds like a belly starts to sound around.

Even listening to the generator work, the close guards do not change their expression slightly.

I thought you'd be a little surprised. Is that something like an elite soldier?

Once Yiliang connected the air compressor to the generator, he lowered the hose for the blower into the well.

The current depth is about 7 meters, so you don't have to worry about acid depletion, but if you dig nearly 10 meters, you could run out of acid without an air compressor.

Combination of blowers is essential for deep drilling operations.

Incidentally, hydroelectric generators are currently in operation at the Mansion.

Waterways and water bridges in front of a good room were completed this morning, and all of the appliance power used in the room has been switched to that of the hydroelectric generator installed there.

"Now, go down inside first, so hang this engine breaker on the rope later and unload it"

"Yes, sir."

"Please tie the rope tight. If this falls over my head, it won't be a shade."

Yes, I pressed Isaac in case, and Ichigo told him the rope ladder that was hanging on the well and went down to the bottom of the well.

The bottom of the well is quite hot and humid, combined with the flaming outside air and moisture in the earth.

The foot was a layer of rock beds on one side, but by the way, it also seemed to mix mud.

"I'll get you down. Yikes!

"Little by little, please take your time!

Receive the engine breaker that was slowly unloaded and untie the rope that was tied.

The engine breaker flea was pushed against the rock bed and the handle was firmly gripped with both hands.

"All right, let's do it. I wonder how long it will take..."

Ichirano turned on the engine breaker when one person did so.

Then four hours later.

Repeated dozens of times the task of putting fragments or mud from the rock bed in the tied water bucket of the rope, Ichigo was digging through the rock floor nearly two meters.

The rock formations were very hard and required considerable force to dig ahead.

I had pinched a few breaks along the way, but my back pain and fatigue are reaching their limits with unfamiliar work.

Most importantly, the vibration of the engine breaker was causing the palm feeling to disappear.

When I started thinking about stopping today, I noticed the cold air coming up from my feet.

"Hmm? Something's hissing... Is this about to get water out"

The well digging history book I brought from Japan said that the sound emitted by the rock grinder changes easily when close to the water vein, and with it the cold air rises.

I was obsessed with grinding rocks and didn't notice them, but in retrospect, I also feel like the sound was changing subtly.

Yiliang restarted his mind and started the engine breaker again, resuming the rock grinding work.

"Mm... oh, it's getting cooler!

As the rock grinding noise changed to a high sound, the surroundings became cooler as if when I opened the fridge.

Along with that, twitching water stains out of the rock floor.

Ichiyana, who sees the water, naturally regains energy and is happy to immerse herself in the rock grinding task.

So much less, a fine layer of sand blued from the cracks in the crushed rock bed glanced at his face.

At the same time, it conveyed a layer of sand and slightly overflowed with water.

"Oh, is this the one called 'Umizna'? It's like sand on the beach."

Further crushing the rock bed and drilling a hole about 10 cm, the water gushed out steadily.

Ichigo stopped the engine breaker and breathed relieved, throwing a piece of stone rolling at his feet into the water bucket.

"Yes, keep it down slowly...... yes, it's okay there"

Dozens of minutes later.

Ichiya, out of the well, had instructed Isaac and Havel to install a hand pump on top of the well.

The hand-pressed pump is fitted with a wooden plate on the pedestal and shall be installed in such a way as to cover the well.

"All right, all you have to do is bolt it and you're done."

Impact drivers were used to bolt the well frame and pedestal securely.

Put the caller water in the pump, grip the handle and chatter up and down again and again.

After repeating it for a while, cloudy water poured out of the pump discharge port.

At this depth, it looks like we can pump up water without any problems.

"Wow... if the water is so easy to draw up, the peasants will be pretty much easier too"

Seeing the water spit out well in momentum, Zirconia exclaimed.

Zirconia said he was a former farmer, so I guess he knows how spicy the water draw is.

The Kingsguards watching around are also whispering "oops" when they see the sight.

It seemed more shocking to see a hand pump spit out water than a generator or compressor.

"Bringing the water bucket to the well and pulling it up is completely different from working efficiency. It takes very little power, so I think even women can easily draw water."

"Oh, um, can I try, too?

"Go ahead."

When Yi Liang was happy, Zirconia took the place with no hesitation and began to handle the steering wheel.

Along with that, water is sputtered out of the discharge mouth with momentum.

"Whoa," Zirconia leaked when she saw a ton of water being spit out as her hands moved.

Eyes sparkle like a child given a toy to see for the first time, and it looks really fun.

"Oh, you're out of water turbidity...... yeah, this is delicious"

YiLiang, who was sweating due to prolonged rock grinding work, stuck his head in the water when he drank water hanging out with both hands.

The water gushing out from under the rock floor is very cold and feels good for the lit body.

"Because of this, you should all take a bath. It's cold and pleasant."

"I'll handle it. You can all drink it."

"Dear Zirconia, I will do that, so drink your Zirconia too"

"Dear Isaac, I'll take care of it, so rest first"

"No, Havel would be tired too. I'll do it. You can take a breather in the water first."

"I was just pulling up a water bucket, and I'm not tired at all. Leave it to me at the bottom."

"Dear Isaac, Habel, we will do such work, so join you in the water bath." Dear Zirconia... "

"You don't have to worry about anything. I'll do it. I'll take a bath with everyone first."

"No, we can't ask Master Zirconia to do that."

"Dear Zirconia, I'll do it."

"No, I'm here"

"Fine! Because I'll do it!

"Why don't we all treat Bunko instead already..."

I was relieved to hear that good quality water came out, grinning bitterly at the zirconia who for some reason began to take the handle away.

Afterwards, we all spent about half an hour surrounding the well and it was adorable and the sun started tilting so we were going back to the city.

Everyone was wet from the top of their heads to the toes of their feet, because everyone even bathed in water, including Ichigo.

The air is pretty dry because it won't rain, so it'll be dry by the time we get back to the city.

"It looks like you can get the water out of the well at one pace a day, this one. Tomorrow we will continue to grind the rocks for a while."

I'm asking a well digger to dig the same well I dug this time all over the area around the barn zone.

I found that if I dug some rock beds, the water would come out, so I'll just repeat the same work later as I did today.

"However, the mass production of the hand pressing pump can't be done in time, so use a jumping pin until mass production begins. The working efficiency is considerably lower than that of a hand pressed pump, but it should be much easier than pumping water in a rope-tied bucket as before"

A jumper is a tool that puts a pedestal in the center of a long stick and pumps water up in a sea-saw-like motion.

On the well side of the stick, attach a water bucket tied with rope and weigh it on the other side.

The worker's burden should be considerably reduced, as the weight allows him to lift the water bucket with ease.

The hand pressing pump I just installed has been removed from the pedestal and retrieved, and placed on the corner of the carriage again.

In the newly developed farmland, we plan to use hand pumps that are due to be produced in the future.

The two hand pumps brought from Japan will later be handed over to the craftsmen and will be disassembled as a sample or used to confirm operation.

"If we can secure well water, can we seed bread and latta wheat?

"Using the bouncing vest you taught me, the cultivation range will be limited, but it is possible enough for a smaller number of people than before. The installation of water trucks in the barn area has made room for manpower, so let's turn those people around to develop new farmland."

Zirconia answers with a soft smile as she wipes her wet hair with a towel.

Earlier tension seemed to have increased due to the shock that saw the performance of the hand pressing pump, but now it was back to a calm atmosphere as usual.

Do the others feel they were too shy, or they looked a little shy when they left the well.

"Okay, then let's expand farmland as much as we can from now on. Please secure personnel."

"Okay. I'll give instructions to the clerk to arrange it."

"And starting tomorrow, Isaac and Hubbell will also help us get used to the use of the engine breaker I was using today. When the two of us can count on us to dig wells, let's go to the northwest mountain area to find a place to build a storage pond. It's time to start building ice rooms."

The same goes for the development of new agricultural land, but also the storage ponds and ice chambers for making ice must be built before winter arrives.

I don't know how useful the ice room is, but if you think about the history of the Japanese ice room, it shouldn't be in vain.

"I know a lot about the geography around there, so I think I can help. I'll show you the day."

"Oh, that's reliable. I need a flat spot near the river, is there somewhere?

"Right...... there's an abandoned village around the middle belly of the mountain, but there's a river running a little bit from there. Some agricultural land is no longer in use, so maybe we can use it there."

"That's a good location. Let's go check it out."

A farmland near the river would also be a good location to carry water.

Even if you can't pull the waterway directly, if you use a water wheel or a hand pump to connect the water bridge, you should be able to pull water to the field.

"And I'm sorry to ask you for a lot of work, but I want a couple of carpenters and a blacksmith at your convenience no matter what. I wanted to produce a wood-making machine to process lumber and a forge machine to process metal first."

"Are there so many... they hold their jobs like mountains too, so can we gather..."

Zirconia looked anxiously at the number of people indicated.

I understand perfectly well how busy the craftsmen are in the situation, but I can't keep my back on making machines at all times like this.

It's bad for the orderers who are putting their orders out on them, but I just have to think about later and let them use them first.

"I know things will lag behind temporarily, but if those machines are completed, the production efficiency should increase to the point where you'll follow them later. Stop everything else here, but I was wondering if we should prioritize the production of machines."

"... ok. I'll try to make it convenient. I'm going to let Liese help me."

"Well, if you can get her to help, it's going to work"

For the past five days, Reese had always acted with Ichigo to help her work.

I also visited the craftsmen's workshop a few times, but leaving Leese to negotiate would be very helpful because the craftsmen would take the job without one disgusting face.

She might be able to wrap up the negotiations we're about to have this time, too.

Leese left a message at the mansion today that she had a lecture and a meeting scheduled.

By now it would be time to meet with some nobleman or around the luxury store.

"Is Reese helpful?

"Yeah, I'm so helpful I don't have any more. I have hopes, I work hard for my job, I can take good care of my surroundings, and I have no choice. She's really good."

Zirconia smiled happily as Ichiyoshi praised Reese.

"Thank you. That girl seems to admire Mr. Kazra, and please keep giving it to her."

"Uh... yes"

Somehow I was subtly concerned about the nuances of Zirconia's words, but for now Ichigo nodded.

"Kushi!

"Oh, is it a cold? Even in summer, the evening will be cold...... Mmm, my hands are getting a little cold too. Which, a little more here..."

When Ichigo and Zirconia are rocked by carriages.

In the courtyard of the Narson Mansion, Leese sat on the bench alongside a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing.

The man's name is Nibel Ferdinand.

It is an extravaganza from Gregorn territory.

"Yes, no, I'm fine... more than that, it's been a long day and it's time for you to come home..."

Niebel punched his hand with a slightly drawn grin as Reese unwrapped Niebel's hand, saying.

"Oh, right. Well, let's say dinner at some warm store. We found a good shop during this time, so let's go there today."

"Ugh... no, let me treat you today. Because I hired a good cook. I'll have it ready in a minute."

To Nibel's remarks, which completely ignored the second half of the dialogue, Reese immediately countered them, feeling in danger.

I don't know what kind of store I'm going to take you to, but I don't know what I'm going to do with this.

"No, no, I've had many treats for Master Leese before, so let me treat you to them once in a while. Come here, please."

"No, I'll treat you."

"You didn't say that, think you can stand me up here. You can't dress up without a treat like this."

"Don't worry about that. Besides, the cook I hired had a really great arm, so I wanted to make sure that Nibel ate the dishes once."

"Oh really? Then let's definitely make it a treat next time. Yes, I'm coming."

"No! Because we have all the best ingredients today! Please let me treat you!!

"No, but..."

"Somebody! Bring the cook here -!!

The questioning continued for some time afterwards.
