Why don't you build a village on top of the world tree

"I didn't expect you to really pass."

Melmie groans as she sits slutty on the couch in the office.

Richay turns to me, pouring a frightened gaze on Melmie.

"It's the fastest record to qualify as a bridge builder, isn't it?

"The first record I can't repaint in the future. He didn't think I was going to take the exam this year, either, and it seems like it's going to be his policy to do a pre-personality check before he certifies his eligibility."

Nevertheless, my exam results are public, and the Jianqiao family members who are seniors have pushed me hard enough to qualify. Maybe no one will complain about me becoming a bridge-builder.

I watch Richay and the others as I make my journey.

"It's a development plan for a town staged with practical tests, but he wants to start construction in five days. Melmie needs you to come in locally as soon as she's ready for a wooden cage shop or something, and Richay's coming with me."

Three days after arriving on the ground tomorrow for leaving Jonesley's office, we'll do another on-site inspection, then we'll brief the residents, and then...

Richay called out that he was assembling an appointment.

"You're in a hurry. Aren't you gonna celebrate or something?

"Mr. Melmie, call me to your celebratory seat, too."

"I've got plans, so even if we celebrate, after this job,"

Amane's going to die early.

Melmie says it's not even close, but Richay didn't embarrass me this time either.

Originally, it was customary for people who passed the Jianqiao family test to be immediately chased to work. You'll have trouble complaining to me.

Finish your preparations and leave early the next morning with Richay.

Richay's luggage was also handled by a muscle trap.

"Isn't it heavy?

"Just fine. I haven't been hunting demon worms lately, so I'm blunt. We need to keep it just muscle treasure."

"Hmm."

Richay looks intrigued at my arm and follows me with his index finger.

"Stiff"

"You're even more amazing when you're a professional devil bug hunter."

"By then, I'm a little..."

He likes it as much as he does.

It was the founder of this town who welcomed us when we arrived in town.

"Welcome. I have arranged an inn. Sorry for the rush."

"No, it's good to have a job."

"is a working young man."

The founder takes you to the inn. Rude, but it was a big, splendid building disproportionate to the size of the town.

It shouldn't have meant investing in the tourism industry.

When I'm wondering, the founder distracts me and explains it.

"By focusing tourists on parts of town to a certain extent, they don't feel uncomfortable with the smell of dyes and such."

"Oh, is that what you said?"

The founder misled by saying "dyes, etc.," but the truth is he probably cares about the hairs of the raw materials that make the textiles, etc., the smell of the coyotes that mow it. It is a creature named Koyo who eats total meat if you want to put it in large quantities.

Coyote cars and the like reduce the odor to some extent by mowing and washing the hair in small pieces, but the car is still a boxcarriage.

"Again, is coyote keeping a must?

A shepherd-free coyote keeper is a breeder who walks the branches with the coyotes and feeds the leaves of the world tree to the coyotes. Coyotes are animals that have been missing for a little while, and they rarely fall off branches and die. It is an important task to monitor the coyotes so that they do not fall.

The founder nods and points to the inn's souvenir shop.

"We fund it with the surrounding villages with a fund that this town has set up on its own initiative, buying coyotes and hiring coyote keepers. You take the form of distributing profits as a percentage of your contributions to the fund. Are you interested?

"I am interested in talking about operations because I want to create a village for my slowness"

"Oh, the village."

The founder narrows his eyes with pleasure.

There's only the founder of this town, and I think I can hear a lot of things.

"You'll have some questions, but let's start with a visit to town"

The founder guides me around town.

Basically, the road is narrow. The width of the branches where this town is situated is approximately four hundred meters. The road width is the lowest and the maximum is five meters, the aerial corridor is unified by three meters in width, and dwellings are currently created up to the second floor.

I looked over my head from the main street and saw an aerial corridor about seven meters high. The residence across the boulevard is two floors. Another dwelling is built on top of it, a structure like a two-story apartment. The upstairs corridor and the air corridor are integrated, and the traffic is not bad.

However, the three-metre road width of the air corridor is narrow. Because it's seven meters tall, it's scary to walk on the edge, so the passers-by walk about two meters wide. It is difficult for those in charge of large baggage to be different.

"It's the lowest boulevard that a coyote car goes through, isn't it? Has traffic changed from pre-survey?

"There's very little difference between the traffic surveys conducted by Yoinsley."

"If so, is the prone point to traffic ahead?"

At the end of the road, we reach that place where the boulevard intersects and look around.

Before the exam, I came to this town to conduct interviews, etc., but again, this was a structure that was prone to congestion.

Because of the high and low differences in the intersecting boulevards, they are ramped toward the intersection.

For coyote cars that are less likely to accelerate or decelerate, the uphill immediately after descending the ramp while decelerating to the intersection is heavily burdensome for the coyote that pulls the car.

Coyotes are animals and also remember fatigue. I had heard complaints beforehand about stopping my legs without climbing through the slopes, and even in fact a coyote car loaded with luggage had stopped my legs without climbing through the slopes.

"Excuse me, I'm going to help you a little"

I say no to the founder and run under the coyote car, which I stopped on.

A young merchant, who looked like the man who was pulling the luggage car, lowered his head to the rear coyote car in a hurry and pushed his car from behind.

I hang my hand from the side of a young merchant on a luggage truck and push it up the hill.

"It helps!

A young merchant sweats on his forehead and pushes his luggage car as he thanks me.

Pushing from the rear by the two of us slowly begins to move the luggage car and climbs up the ramp.

Somehow he came to the top of the hill, and the young merchant bowed his head to me and jumped onto your platform, and began to move on with the coyote car in order to get ahead.

I look down the hill.

"After all, will you stop at the bottom of the hill?"

A coyote car, which had stopped in front of the junction, moves out to see the young merchant move on.

He would have stopped in front of the slope, deciding that he might not be able to climb through the slope unless some acceleration was applied.

Rishay and the founder, who have come up the hill, look down at the intersection.

"I'm still here. If you are transporting water in a coyote car, you cannot move it unless it is from the top of the downhill for even more weight. Air corridors for manned transport also have points that cannot cross the boulevard due to sunshine, which is a factor in stopping the foot at the intersection"

Hear the words of the founder and see the map that Richay has spread out to me.

There are three congestion points to improve. There are two congestion points where importance is judged to be an improvement on the one rank drop. There are three transport points that need to be maintained in view of the future development of the town. You can ignore everything else.

We will work on the plan as it was when we passed the test, but we will also need to persuade the residents to understand. If it's a redevelopment that will widen the road, the surrounding buildings will have to be demolished and the inhabitants there will have to understand.

"Well, how did you convince me"

We are already ready to present data such as traffic survey results. The rest is now required to explain it plainly and to convince people that improvements are needed.

"I thought there would be more anger flying around in traffic, but it's quiet."

"It's usually noisier. Especially if there's two unfamiliar people in this town, it's a little noisy."

According to what the founder explained, there was only one coyote that couldn't climb the hill this time, and no one went as far as to make a scene because I helped push it from behind.

"Shall we now highlight the point where noise can be eliminated as traffic congestion is eliminated? I'd like to explain some other advantages, but at this junction, I think it might be easier to draw water."

Because the ropeway is planned to pass in a way that avoids this intersection, it makes it easier to draw water.

Sometimes if it's a town a little bigger, it passes through an air corridor that encloses a water pipe directly from the water storage facility, but in this town, the water is drawn manually.

Maintenance is difficult in this town's income because of the maintenance costs involved in passing water pipes through the air corridors due to maintenance problems.

Richay opens his mouth as he folds the map.

"The biggest problem is the possibility of damaging the landscape with a ropeway. Can you persuade me?

"There's nothing convenient about not being able to push it. Because you can't shadow more than an air corridor. I just don't think you'd be concerned about the rope being put up where you usually see it"

"I mean, are you thinking of a way to convince me?

"Well, you are"

The ropeway is characterised by its smaller area of vision than the air corridor. However, the scale is too different from that of an air corridor to deny the possibility that a thin rope feels depressed on the contrary.

The rope can be retightened, and several routes can be listed in the plan, considering the neighbors' failure to get an understanding.

As the distance is extended on the detour route every time I go down with the first to second and third proposals, the expenses are expensive.

"If it's residents' understanding, let's work on it here."

Yes, the founder who has pinched his mouth points to a point in the town.

"Explain that dyeing is going to be an important industry in this town, and it's easy for residents to understand."

"Really? Not all the inhabitants of the town would be involved in dyeing, would they?

"Much of the town's interests are restored to all its inhabitants. We have the track record and credibility of operating under this policy. Though I don't know if the other towns are, I think Noh has won credibility from the residents thanks to this policy. Well, watch."

The founder slapped me on the shoulder and turned to the public hall that he was gathering the inhabitants of the town.

The back looked so confident and splendid.

Continue on the main street and enter the building, characterised by a beautiful window lattice representing the blue mansard roof and the accompanying plants, which are the town's public and private buildings.

I could tell from the outside that it looked like a two-story building, but the ceiling on the ground floor was elevated. The reason was in the auditorium where we were put.

A group of seats provided in a rind bowl shape and a stage at the bottom of the rind bowl. Behind it is a map of a large town. It seems designed to drip cloth from the ceiling if necessary and to allow the presentation of materials in line with the agenda.

Materials from the redevelopment plan I had proposed had now been affixed to the cloth and lowered from the ceiling.

"You wait there. Let me explain it to you first."

The founder of the town tells me and Richay to wait on stage sleeves and go up to the stage.

The founder of the town, who stood on the stage in a gentle, calm motion, looks around at the audience sitting in a soaking bowl. There will be a total of seventy. He is a representative of the ancient Ginseng clan who has lived in this town since it was only a small village and has suffered with its founders.

"- Execute a meeting"

Declared by the founding fathers with a stern voice. Only then was the air in the auditorium dominated by comfortable tension. The tension between the founder and the ancient ginseng breeds in mutual trust.

"Some of you will have already heard. Regarding the redevelopment of the town. The main thrust of the redevelopment is the elimination of congestion and the supply of water essential for the stable development of the dyeing business, which has been decided to grow into the core industry of this town. This case will be conducted in accordance with the plan submitted as the final assignment in the Jianqiao Family Qualification Test conducted by Yoinsley and judged to be the best. It's the plan that's sticking out on the cloth that's in front of everyone, this is it."

Show by hand the plan put up by the founder on the cloth behind the stage.

"Nan thinks it's a good plan with beautiful features. Everything that needs to be improved also shows solutions, and there is an extremely high degree of freedom of development. That is because the present proposal proposes a route for transporting water by ropeway rather than by air corridors. However, it has been pointed out about the possibility of tensioned ropes damaging the landscape. There is also a need to rebuild and relocate current dwellings by widening the streets. Therefore, we need to attach the residents' understanding."

The founder looked around the auditorium separating words.

"There are three agendas. One, about the acceptability of this redevelopment plan. If no, ask them to state why. Two, have them determine whether or not the rope can be expanded. Three, I want your opinion on the replacement and relocation of the dwelling. Speakers raise their hands."

Several raised their hands as the founders urged them to raise their hands in a voice that would pass well.

The founder will give permission to the spokesperson in turn from the right edge of the auditorium, without distinction between young and old.

An old woman, who was at the right end, takes a seat quietly and speaks.

"Third on the agenda, I will make a statement regarding the replacement and relocation of dwellings. Families living in dwellings facing the Third District Crossroads currently have pregnant women. We would like to ask that the redevelopment with regard to Zone III turn the construction time around later in the day, as there may also be obstacles and there may be impacts due to changes in the environment and sound of construction"

"Right. Did you have a second one? Congratulations."

When the founder laughs, he hears a warm laugh from the ancient ginseng and soon regains his original tension.

"Turning the construction time for the Third District later, I understand. Next Speaker"

When the founder turns to water, a relatively young man about two hundred years old rises up. Probably in attendance as a clan representative.

"Two on the agenda, I will ask you a question about the availability of rope expansion. What is happening about measures to be taken in the event of a fall?

"We have chosen the expansion path so that there is no damage with regard to the fall of the rope. Temporary fall-proof nets shall be used for falling wooden cages used for ropeways. Because this fall-proof net is stretched each time in the morning when the ropeway is running, it has been determined that it should not be taken into account as an element damaging the landscape."

"I'm satisfied. You made the agenda a rope expansion, not a ropeway installation, because you don't run a ropeway during the day, right?

"Exactly"

"I'm satisfied. We are now in favour of expanding the rope"

The young man sat quietly at the end expressing his agreement.

He then asks questions to the founder, who is also the moderator and responsible person, and boils them down about the agenda. It was a polite meeting landscape, without going our way.

Where opinions have been exhausted, the founding fathers take decisions on the three agendas.

"One of the agendas, the redevelopment plan is passed. Second on the agenda, the position of the rope is unchanged. Item 3 of the agenda. Some changes have been made to the replacement and relocation of dwellings. The meeting shall end. Thank you, guys."

The Founder declares the meeting closed.

I looked back at Richay with my clothes sleeve pulled.

"You didn't show up."

"Sounds like it. I'm sure this is the business of trust."

As we are going to build a village, let me refer to it.

The construction of the town could proceed without delay as planned.

It is also significant that the craftsmen are seconded by a thoughtful wooden cage shop, etc.

After the building has been constructed in advance, it finally begins to develop the ropeway.

"Can a wooden cage shop also set up a ropeway?

"I've done it many times. It's a wooden cage shop. The ropeway that you give them before the bridge is built is the name of the store. Well, it's the first time I've set up all over town."

View the setting up of the ropeway while talking to the manager of the workshop in the wooden cage.

I've told you in advance, but this is the first time I've actually set it up.

Give them a sturdy, thick rope made by twisting together the yarn obtained by spreading a huge spider's nest called the Bird Eater Spider and install a wooden cage there for people and things to ride.

The wooden cage was made by Melmie. Melmie is said to be uncharacteristic or mediocre in his work, but he designed a wooden cage to keep the town's landscape out of harm's way to my design. A wooden cage with a flair such as a flying boat can be ideally polite to work with.

The manager of the workshop in the wooden cage frowns.

"As always, it's a boring job with no features."

"Really? Sure, it doesn't have personality, but it's technically high."

"Technologies can only be acquired if you keep working. If I'm a craftsman, I won't be able to accomplish this without the characteristics of being able to line up my work."

"You're still tough on your daughter,"

"I'm not connected to blood. It's all about technology."

With that said, you said Melmie took it from the orphanage.

The manager, who was watching Melmie and the others starting the ropeway commissioning, accidentally turned his gaze on me.

"Amane, is it true you're building a village?

"I'm not talking about today or tomorrow, but I'm going to make it"

Answering, the manager puts his arms together and thinks a lot before pointing at Melmie.

"Will you take Melmie with you? You can't build a decent house without one of the craftsmen in the village."

"Is that good?

"You'd be happier as an artisan with someone who appreciates Melmie's work."

"Is that what you say?"

"That's what I say. Oh, come and say hello if you want to be happy as a woman."

I don't feel like getting married right now.

I've just started my job as a Jianqiao family, and I want to stay single for another hundred years and punch into my job.

Around the centenary figure comes naturally, I hear I've been stained with the values of this world, too.

The founder of the town came when he was making sure the ropeway was working properly.

"Amane, I've got a letter for you from Yoinsley."

"Thank you"

A letter from Joynesley? I shouldn't have had any particular plans, but did you even come in with a new request?

The novelty of the youngest Jianqiao family made it the subject of discussion, but at the same time the inexperience is widespread, so no one has asked for me by name.

I was wondering if my achievements in this town would make some requests, but I'm going to be a Demon Bug Hunter for a while now, that's what I was thinking.

Which one?

Cut the seal of the letter and read the contents.

The content was an invitation to a design competition hosted by Yoinsley. It seems to be a tournament for both architects and bridge builders.

"Ooh..."

Unexpectedly leaks his voice when he sees the prize of the best prize of the tournament.

The prize for the Best Award was that a subsidy would come out of Yoinsley when he actually woke up the village he designed.

"Richay, hey, look at this"

Shake your right hand and call Richay and show him the letter.

Richay opened his eyes.

"It's only natural that we should go directly from here, given the duration of the event. What should we do with the travel expenses?

"Using the profits from this town development would be fine"

"Well, yeah. If you go home and you don't have a job, it's a demon bug hunt decision."

If Richay, the accountant at the office, says so, I guess so. The books in my head say the same thing.

Since this town development was also the final exam for the Jianqiao family exam, it will be dispatched from Yoinsley as a treatment. It's not a very profitable job.

It is a story that is not worthwhile and can cry.

Most of all, because some funds are set aside as funds to create villages, it cannot be said that they are generally poor.

The founder who was listening to us looks at me as he sees the ropeway complete.

"Well, we've developed the town, and you should exchange paperwork and head right to the venue. I'll turn the coyote."

"Sorry for the rush"

"Amane, I know you're a worker. I'm here for you."

The Founders dropped us off happily, and we left town behind.
