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

Silver weddings, golden weddings, and wedding anniversaries were some of the milestones in couples' lives after marriage.

I'm only vaguely aware of what exactly I would do because I'm not married in my previous life, but there's something similar about this world that lives on top of the world tree.

One is a flower ceremony.

It is a milestone on the anniversary of the wedding when the plants planted in the pot sprout and bud and bloom at the wedding.

"- So, I know you don't want to be sober this time."

Watch the planted pots of shrubs planted by Mr. and Mrs. Billows as they are shrugged by Billows who have asked us to anticipate the flowering season.

This plant pot, which is pruned and tidied so as not to be as big as a bonsai, seems to be maintained by the young general. Five red, big buds of fists, waiting for the day they opened.

"Five days early, I think it will bloom within nine days at the latest"

"Right, right. I have to get you something."

Billows arms together and begins to worry.

This guy's soaking up a flower ceremony once and you're having a couple fights.

"Be careful not to have another girls' party, okay?

He said, "I know. That's why I even asked Amane to predict blooms."

"I hope so. I'll be right back."

"Ooh. Is Amane's place also a flower ceremony?

Shake your neck to the side of Billows' inquiry.

"No, it's a winged moment"

"Oh well. It's been so long."

Billows unwrapped the arm he was putting together and raised one hand.

"Congratulations."

"Thanks"

I'll give it back with one hand, too, and head home.

A winged moment is a ritual that takes place in the twentieth anniversary of marriage.

Mythology says that a couple who lived in a village that was at the root of this world tree became birds of the Biwing when they carried their children and grandchildren over the world tree.

You think the two birds who became the birds of the wings still sit on top of the world tree and occasionally bring people from the ground to protect them?

Turning from this story, it developed as a ritual in which the couple vowed to be together until their death.

When I opened the door to my home, Teten was setting up a spiral at my doorstep.

"What can I do for you?

"... if you want to go through, knock it down, go"

"Small."

Take off your shoes and go up to the house, quickly pack the distance and decopin.

A blessed teten holds his forehead.

"... Now, don't think I won. Second, third."

"It's a pain in the ass, let's go."

I start throwing up dialogue like a demon king. Slip through the side of Teten.

The moment of the wings takes place every twenty years after marriage, twenty, forty, sixty, but is Teten the demon king to be resurrected every twenty years?

Looks weaker than slime though.

Head to the living room with your stride adjusted so you don't leave the tetens following you behind.

"... Richay, are you okay, sister?

"I don't know. I can't give you a hand."

Waiting for me when I arrived in the living room was Melmie, who was happily drooling in lectures, and Richay, who was listening to it with a serious look on his face. It is the opposite of the usual sight.

"The typology is said to be four in all, but the differences are too great to make sense of classification."

"Because Richay is already a big head. I don't care if you have legs, or the shape of tail feathers, or the presence or absence of crown feathers. You should think about what you want to make!

"Melmie, that's what I'm saying, but I also have a view that the presence or absence of crown feathers makes sense. It was fashionable about five hundred years ago, but following its origins..."

"Wow! You can't run it without being able to carve it properly before you make that sense. Listen to me."

"... so is that. Please continue."

"Mr. Melmie, I'm getting tired. Replace the money."

"I think Melmie is the right person to explain the sculpture. Well, as long as the MC progresses, keep explaining."

"Yes."

Melmie returns to the explanation.

"Sculptures that will be sculpted in a comparable wing sculpture can be watermarked or round carved. Like, floating around. But anyway, if you can figure out the shape, that's fine, but Richay makes it a line sculpture because he's never done very little sculpture. It's a decision to make until now!

"It's reasonable, isn't it? All you have to do is carve along the bottom."

"It's not that simple, except for the craftsmen, when it's the first moment of the wings, they generally try to carve the lines."

The moment of the wings is a ritual, and a modus operandi exists. It's a little more formal than a gift-giving flower ceremony.

Because of the content of this event, Mermie is rarely the explanator and Richay the listener.

In the Moment of the Wings, there is a lesson in serving the Church with wooden carvings inspired by this because they are obscured by two of the Mythical Wings. I don't care how you carve it, but there's only one pit.

"Richay, I can tell you I'll carve along the bottom painting. We need to make sure we engage the carvings of the amane properly, so we also have to worry about the depth of the carvings and the thinness of the lines. If I slip a lot off the draft with a rattling line, it's a redo, right?

"I'll be careful."

Richay pulls his jaw at Mermie's advice and tightens his mind.

Biwing birds are depicted with two single-wing birds connected. The birds of the wings, carved in the sculptures of the wings, are also this figure, serving the Church together after the couple have carved one each in charge.

Unlike the inscriptions that divide a single plate into multiple pieces, only the lower picture is drawn on the same paper and then sculpted on a completely separate plate, which is later matched. I do the bottom painting on the board on my own, so even though there is a bottom painting on the paper, sometimes the lines deviate.

"... can Amane be carved?

"I don't mean artisanal, but sculpture has been a little twisted since my studies. Mr. Flengs tells me that the good and bad skills of craftsmen go into sculpture, but that it's a fast way to feed the eye that can spot them."

I can do it without difficulty enough to sculpt along the bottom painting, and there's nothing I can't do about the round sculpture.

If we can still see each other's carvings during the work, we can take a solution that I can match with Richay, but this ritual is a joint work of the couple and also means that they are breathing at the same time, so we shouldn't show each other until it's done.

That's why I just have to ask Richay to do his best.

"It still doesn't really matter to Mr. Melmie and the others, but we're gonna use it at the funeral, so you can't have the half one."

Melmie pushes caution.

When one of the couples dies, there is no way to chase him or herself, so it is the funeral of the couple in this world that the surviving person sends him or her under the world tree by transforming the sculpture he or she made in the winged moment so that he or she can be properly compared after death.

If he dies unmarried, or if he was preceded twenty years after his marriage, etc., he is to be sent out with his work tools.

Well, I saw Teten.

Teten, who gets gaze and tilts his little neck, will probably remain unmarried if he stays like this. Even if that's good because he doesn't care, the work tools he'll have will be something to do with smoking, such as a thong.

You're not supposed to let me hold a lily novel or a pen and be sent out, but which one of these guys is better.

When one was worried, Melmie put her hand on her hips and strained her chest.

"You can help me convince this Mr. Melmie once in a while."

"Yes, sir. So, which sculpture knife should I use?

After Lishay asked me a question, I heard Melmie start explaining again, and I paint a wood-carved bottom that I'm going to carve with Melmie.

Mermie and I make watermarked carvings. Paint yourself as you fly, and try to be a fat piece that I can carve.

Though it has become a bold structure, care will be taken to make use of Melmie's soft sculpture by allowing her to hold flowers on the feet of the birds of the comparable wings.

"I wonder if it's something like this. Shadow after that."

"The shadow is put in by Mr. Melmie. Amane asks you to continue your lecture."

"Ah. Okay."

Give Melmie the draft, and I'll take turns as a teacher. Finally, I spread the blank paper on my desk with the intention of completing the draft in consultation with Richay.

What Richay and I make is line sculpture, and Richay can't use the sculpture knife satisfactorily. I needed to shape it this way while adding more straight lines.

Some hands say that if you don't think about the hassle, you'll have a large wooden plate, because the size of the tree you use isn't determined, but there's more to the common sense range than serving the church.

"It's a design with wings closed and stuck in a branch."

Looking at the bottom painting I drew, Richay begins to glimpse the line with his fingertips. I'm a little worried because she's also a kid who can't use the knife satisfactorily.

"Well, let's do our best to finish carving within ten days"

"Okay."

"Mr. Melmie's going straight to the work room. Amane, this finished lower painting"

I saw the bottom painting Melmie gave me, and I held my forehead.

I might fail as well as Richay.

―――――――――

Visiting the church with a sculpture that could be done, Mr. Aleut, who saw the sculpture he had dedicated, zeroed his breath of interest "ho".

"It's a masterpiece."

"I didn't think we were going to start all over again than Richay did."

Richay has redone it three times, but I've redone my cooperation with Melmie seven times. It's only four times that I didn't mesh with what Melmie made, and three times that I simply couldn't do what the bottom painting says.

"Now, let me keep it for you"

"Please"

Give the sculpture to Mr. Aleut, and I'll return my heels to take Richay and Melmie home.

"You managed to make it."

"Really, I just wanted to praise myself for being on time."

Glad to be able to serve you today in your twentieth year of marriage. I'm talking about anytime by the end of the year, but it's an edge, and it's a milestone decorating object, so I wanted to dedicate myself to today, when we had our wedding just twenty years ago.

Twenty years.

"Twenty years."

Ah, the culture gap.

Melmie was also nodding at Richay's expression that he still was.

"You have this ritual about fifty times to live to be a thousand years old."

"I won't be able to foil it with wire carving forever, and I guess I'll be able to carve it round too"

"Round carving is another big goal."

"My husband is Amane."

"He's the one who built the skyscraper."

You can't lose, and Richay and Melmie laugh at each other.

The big goal is that the skyscraper can be done and will only develop slowly after that.

On both hands are two flowery daughters-in-law and one resident mascot if you return.

I think it's a good life.

"What's Amane's next goal?

"Right..."

I want to develop Takakus at this rate. This is certainly not a goal, either.

"I guess I'll support someone's dream"

As I was, it might come true if someone also supported dreams I couldn't accomplish alone.

That's how we support each other and make our dreams come true. That's how the world is bound to turn and develop.

Stop by and shade the great tree. Compared to the world tree, I don't think I can count on a lot of young trees.

And when I told him, he looked like Melmie was subtly unconvinced.

"Amateur, low self-esteem, huh?

"Really?

'Cause you still can't have one of your disciples. I don't know if it's because I can't rely on it.

"No, no, Amane seems to be busy every day, so I think she's gonna shy away from apologizing for letting you take all the time even as an apprentice"

"I agree with Melmie."

"Oh, was that why I couldn't have a disciple?

I wish everyone could greedily take away my time.

Richay and Melmie face to face.

"The first goal is to keep Amane on a reasonable schedule."

"You make it easy for people who want to be apprentices to speak up."

I think I'd like to use it for a date when I'm free, but I don't know if I can.

Up the ramp of the third branch, sandwiched by Richay and Melmie, who are discussing how to manage my plans.

"Tomorrow, the next goal will be the development of the North."

Though the wounds left by Cyrillic have healed a lot, the northern side of a climate prone to snow shaking and other disasters tends to be less populous and slow to develop than others.

Developments on the north side are more of a challenge and a goal than being in a position to discount the region as a skyscraper on the north side.

As he shrugged and solidified his resolve, Richay and Melmie sighed all together.

"You're not going to be a disciple for a while."

"It's quicker to have kids."

"Right."

Takakus were like kids, too, but they grew up.

My hands were taken by the two of them when I looked up at the sky out of sight from the two of them trying to have a vivid conversation even though it was still high.

"Come on, let's go home"

"Takakus are out of control, and I need to make my next child."

Aren't parents expecting too much to want a fine kid like the skyscraper to grow up?

Should I think about such concerns after birth?

"Right. Do you want to leave soon?"

I hope Teten doesn't interrupt you.
