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

The day after the dinner party celebrating my first blackout, when I got back from field work, I found a guest in my office.

"Mr. Calaria?

It's Mr. Calaria, Kanes' katana. I put on my glasses and stretched my forehead, but I still can't hide it. I still care about my eyes.

It was Richay who was responding to Mr. Calaria. There's no sign of Melmie who was supposed to be back in the office with me.

Richay, who seemed uncomfortable when he said it was our office, so to speak, homeground, exhaled as relieved when he looked at me.

"I'll keep a letter from Mr. Kanes."

"From Kanes?

The last time I saw him was when he selected a candidate for Kanes' village. I even heard about creating a village in a letter they sent me afterwards, but I don't even know what happened afterwards.

Is it a status report letter?

Mr. Calaria stands up and stares directly at me. I'm a little scared.

"Village Chief Kanes sent me a letter. This way."

Receive the letter offered and cut the seal.

"You want to go play soon, you can afford that kind of time?

What a village of Takakus has finally achieved its first blackout, and it's about to get busy, but is the village of Kanes stable enough to be okay for the village chief to be long term and absent?

I turn to Mr. Calaria.

It was Mr. Calaria who delivered the letter to me. Naturally, you'll also know what's in it.

Mr. Calaria of the Firm didn't stop, so I don't want to convince him that the village of Kanes can go without the village chief.

"If Kanes is coming, you're welcome. It's a small village as you can see, so even if you say you're welcome, it'll be fine."

"Kanes wouldn't mind. I just want to talk to Mr. Amane, so please deal with him."

It has a tone like asking for someone to play with your pet.

Write a reply to the letter and give it to Mr. Calaria.

"Well, I'll have it delivered."

"... have it delivered?

Isn't Mr. Calaria taking it home?

When in doubt, Mr. Calaria left the office and circled back.

When I check the back through the window, one coyote car is stopped. Looks like the pedestrian gave me a ride this far.

I am rare with female merchants.

There are many places where the road is heavily up-down because of the twists of the world tree, and pedestrians often need strength because they push the coyote car from behind and up the hill. Inevitably there will be many men of excellent stature.

The lady merchant who deposited the letter from Mr. Carraria steered the coyote car south.

Richay stands next to me. The expression is a little worrying.

"Mr. Calaria will stay in the public hall until Kanes arrives."

"Do we wait for Kanes to arrive here? Ready for a room in the public hall?

"Melmie's doing it for me. I asked you to respond, but Mr. Calaria seems serious, so he said pass."

Sounds really like Melmie.

Richay sighed like trouble.

"I'll take care of Mr. Calaria, and Amane will do her job as usual. If Mr. Kanes came, he wouldn't be at work, would he?

"It's not like there's something about work or anything like that. So call me whenever you're in trouble."

"Thank you. I'm going to show Mr. Calaria the village for a moment."

That's what Richay said, leaving the office.

I sit in my office chair and grab the materials placed on my desk.

It's a report from Marcto, who's in charge of raising rum birds. The number of laying of lamb birds over the past year is tabulated and graphed, as well as stocks, consumption, etc. of thorium for feedingstuffs.

In closing, as a remark, it said that they wanted us to create a meeting place because they wanted to talk about the management plan for the next year.

I guess I should have a management plan meeting with Marcto before the meeting. Ram birds want to increase their numbers this year, so feed and other consumption should also increase.

Ram birds are the only important means of obtaining funds, and we want to identify trends while increasing them carefully.

You can't leave Mr. Calaria to Richay. Let's just say we get the job done early and go cover.

As I strained and proceeded with my work, Melmie peered right inside through the office window from the outside.

"Melmie, what are you doing?"

"The merchant just left, so I was wondering if Calaria had left, so I checked."

"They're staying in a public and private hall for a while. Richay is leading the village now."

"If you're not in the office, no. I'm home."

He doesn't want to face Mr. Calaria no matter what happens to Melmie, who is seriously phobic.

Mermie sits back on the couch as she circles into the front door and walks inside.

"How brilliant to withdraw this Mr. Melmie"

"Don't say it in the wind you've been hit. You just ran away because you didn't like the serious air."

"Because. You're getting tired. It's only morning."

I agree that I'm tired.

Hi, Mr. Calaria is intimidating. I'm sure he's not trying to intimidate you.

In a different way than Lishay, I'm a little bad at Mr. Calaria, too.

However, my bad feelings are only preconceived, and in Richay's case, there's a reason I don't want to show myself in compromise.

I should probably support Richay until he's ready.

That's why I got up and finished the rest of my job.

Soon I had tea and cookies ready. Melmie stood up and looked up at me and snapped my neck.

"Aren't you going to be neat? Let's have tea with Mr. Melmie."

"Attractive suggestion, but coming around to cover Richay"

"Go. Mr. Melmie's useless, so I'll be waiting."

You wouldn't know anything about Richay's relationship with Mr. Calaria, would you just confuse me if I took Melmie?

"I'm coming."

I left the office when Melmie dropped me off waving around the cookies.

When I say I will introduce the village, there are currently few facilities worth seeing in the village.

If we were to choose a route to introduce, for example, due to its importance, we would follow the fields where we were growing lamb bird feed, starting with the lamb bird hut, followed by the fields where the inhabitants of the village were growing crops to eat, and finally take a trip to the public and private halls to guide Mr. Calaria to the room where she would sleep. It's about Richay, so it's going to be this way.

Show him to his room. That shouldn't be the end of it. Maybe a public discourse will give a status update to Terra.

That's all I thought about, I checked my time.

"When I arrived in the public hall, I guess."

I think you're late, but I'm heading to the public hall early.

In some cases, it would block the conversation and bring Richay back to the office. Let's think about an affordable reason.

Upon arrival at the public hall, a voice was heard from the guard room facing the entrance hall.

"Mr. Richay and his guests will be in the dining room."

"Thanks"

Turn your foot to the dining room, as told by the Devil Bug Hunter, a fellow Billows who was in the guard's room. Surprised I thought I was showing you to your room. In time, no matter how soon, I shouldn't have been able to show you to your room yet.

Peeping into the dining room, Richay and Mr. Calaria were sitting across the street.

Kind of a hard air to speak to. I am also hesitant to step into the dining room.

If I was deceiving you, Mr. Calaria's gaze pointed this way.

"Mr. Amane, I'm sorry, but I need you to be alone now"

I was hit first.

Richay, who noticed me in Mr. Calaria's words, looks back at me with a bitter smile.

"Please from me, too. Would you stand in the hallway and keep an eye on no one coming? I'll be done in a minute."

"I don't know what's going on, but I know what to do."

I'm not convinced, but it doesn't look like I'm worried about seeing Richay.

I'm sitting in the hallway wondering what the hell happened in this short time.

No one comes to the dining room at this hour of the morning. Everyone eats at home in the morning.

Enough with the physical time, Richay and Mr. Calaria come out of the dining room.

The two smiled and shook hands broke up on the spot.

Richay walks over here, escorting Mr. Calaria to the upstairs room.

"Don't you have to show me to my room?

"I went to the front of the room earlier. That's why it's okay. I told you to talk to the guards if anything happened."

Let's go home, walk out to the office alongside Richay urging.

Look at Richay's side.

"Are you in a good mood?

"Right. I feel good."

As I thought when I saw the two of them in the dining room, are you sure something happened with Mr. Calaria?

"Can I ask you what happened?

"Right..."

Richay laughs mischievously and looks at me after putting his hand on his cheek.

I'll keep it a secret.

"I'm really curious."

I just have to give up because it's not even like I can force myself to ask.

Richay grinned, gaping at me, opening his mouth.

"Yeah, well, I decided to see Amane's skyscraper next door."

I got an approximate idea of what happened with that word alone.

I smiled back at Richay and gave him my hand.

"Nice to meet you, buddy."

"Nice to meet you"

That's what Richay said and laughed taking the hand I offered.

Kanes arrived about twenty days after I wrote him back.

For twenty days, Ms. Calaria read through a history book compiled by Richay in a public and private library, and hardly appeared on the table. Mr. Calaria like that is coming out to pick up Kanes. I don't think I've seen Mr. Calaria's face in about seven days.

"Amane, it's been a long time!

"Kanes looks good, too."

Kanes, who hasn't seen him in four years, greets him with a brightness that doesn't make him feel like a blank period.

"I'm suddenly sorry. Calaria tried to call me back once, but I was wasted reading Mr. Richay's history books."

"I'm not wasting it."

"Well, I've threatened you more than I've wasted my time."

When Kanes withdrew his foreword, this time Mr. Calaria did not deny it either. I think you should be wasted.

"Let me see the village. You know, it's Amane's designed public house, right?

Show me inside quickly, and I'll show Kanes inside the public hall.

Kanes opens his mouth as he dives down the front door and looks up at the blowout right away.

"You wanted to make the hallway roof look high, so you plugged it into a plugged roof and put the roof apex on one side of the building."

"That's the thing. Rooms upstairs allow you to store your luggage in the loft"

They're staying tonight, so I guess I'll explain how to use it later.

Kanes left the front door once, as he remembered, checking the walls next to the entrance to the public hall, etc., before returning.

"With that said, what's the name of this village?

Did you leave the front door once because you thought there was a plate or something with a name on the public hall wall?

"Takakus. Was the village of Kanes Aquas?

"Yes, Aquas"

Ask about the situation of Aquas, the village of Caines, while guiding you through the first floor of the public hall.

"There are sixty residents, management has been in black since the second year, and the amount of black has grown every year as it is."

"Wow. In the meantime, the village of Takakus finally went black in its fourth year."

"Amane told me when you selected the candidate. He said if we grow Mippa, we'll go black as soon as possible. I just did what I did."

Although I did propose a proposal to target blackening with a mippa that uses a lot of water to grow it, Kanes' arm, which he took to blackening with sixty residents, is still amazing.

"How's the meat? In the case of the village of Takakus, we can no longer ignore them and raise rum birds."

"Ram bird!? Where do you grow such a thing? You haven't smelled anything since you walked into the village, have you?

They know the stench of rum birds, too, Kanes.

The Tacax Village breeding shed is worth the training and hardly stinks. I was surprised that the pedestrians who contributed to the blackout didn't smell either.

Listen to Aquas' source of protein while promising to show the breeding shed later.

"I'm trying to get meat in barter with Mippa. I have a market. The cities of Wallakis and Gamek are also close, so I guess it was the beginning of negotiating and bartering with people from other villages and towns as I took Mippa to the market. After a year or so, the village chief visited me directly and asked me if I wanted to exchange Mippa and Coyote on a regular basis."

Coyotes seem to overload their guts from fall to winter and are prone to anaemia. Overlapping child coyotes are also more likely to die of malnutrition with their mother coyotes.

For this reason, the village chief who wanted to import Mippa stably, which was effective in preventing and eliminating anaemia, offered to barter with coyote meat.

Thanks to this barter, Aquas regularly obtained coyote meat, which allowed the securing of protein sources.

"Did you have that hand?"

But I wouldn't have been able to imitate it if I had found out before I bought the Ram Bird. The village of Tacax had only vegetables for export. It is also the only type of village or town nearby that grows it.

"It's the opposite of us. Why don't you and Amane bring some barter to some village with a ram bird, too?

"I don't want anything right now, so I'll think about it."

Besides, even if we barter, if we don't get more ram birds, the village's resources will soon be depleted.

"More than that, what's wrong with Ayuka?

Freshwater fish, ayuka, the hidden balls of Kanes.

Wouldn't it be possible to farm Ayuca with the massive consumption of water in the cultivation of Mippa?

"Oh, don't worry about that"

Keynes continues, laughing off my worries.

"Cultivation continues. The numbers have increased considerably, and now there are five raw animals with thirty tails in them. What happens if you raise more people is still hand-explored and carefully researched."

He said he brought Ayuka, which he smoked for a souvenir. It's not something smoked in Aquas, but a prototype I asked a nearby village to make, and they want to hear what they think of the flavor.

I don't know if you can guess what I think that sounds delicious before you eat it.

"What water do you need to grow Mippa?

"I have two ponds in my village. I use one for aquaculture and the other for agricultural water."

Currently, Aquas, a village in Kanes, says it is conducting research on Ayuca while putting out a black deficit in an export industry focused on Mippa.

In this world above the world tree, the culture of fish food is unfamiliar, so it is gradually penetrating.

Guide Kanes to a room on the second floor of the public hall, drop off his luggage, and then take him to the Ranm Bird Breeding Hut.

"Have you seen Calaria yet?

As Kanes spoke, Mr. Calaria nodded small.

Looks like Richay led us to the breeding shed on the first day.

"Odorless, not necessarily, but I didn't stink at all of the rum birds I hear about"

"Wow. Amane, is that a secret, too?

"I've been trained and I'm just doing exactly what I'm doing. We're still in the process of imitating it."

We're going to be exchanging information with the village of Goigalla, who taught us the know-how of breeding, while making improvements for ourselves.

As he saw the Ranm Bird Breeding Hut, Kanes quickly noticed the overrun roof.

"Are you ventilating according to the wind direction?"

"There's that too."

Kanes, who qualifies as a Jianqiao family, has seen it at a glance. I mean, you qualify before me, so you hit seniors.

The only reason to make a breeding shed an over-roof is about ventilation and lighting, and if you have the experience of building a house, do you immediately realize it?

"By the way, the first breeding shed was a cut wife roof with vents to the east and west. You rebuilt this."

"Did you bother to rebuild it? You're in the mood. But it would have cost you to make it a breeding shed, wouldn't it?

"I thought it was an initial investment, so I wept."

You can't make half a thing.

Besides, the previous breeding shed is also used as a vault for sawdust.

Once inside the domesticated hut, a ram bird notices a stranger and makes a noise.

"Wow, wow."

"Ranm birds are like this. Besides, I haven't yet. The Morning Territorial Claim is twice as loud."

I want you to think it's as good as you can have a conversation.

Most importantly, the breeding cabin uses soundproofing measures to prevent rum birds from sounding outside. It was this soundproofing measure that cost much more than it cost to make it an over-the-roof.

"Village Chief, are you a customer?

Marcto, the breeder, glances over his face from the janitor's room, which is co-located in the breeding cabin.

"Oh, it's Kanes, village chief of Aquas Village"

"You're Mr. Calaria's boss. Hi there."

Marcto greets Kanes and looks at the rum birds wandering through the breeding cabin.

"All of a sudden, I thought something was wrong because I made a scene."

"I'm sorry to make such a scene. I was just showing you the village."

"No, if you have any questions, I'll take them"

Marcto points the water at Kanes.

Kanes looked at the rum bird uncommonly, but when asked if he could ask a question, he turned his face immediately to Marcto.

"What are you doing about the smell? I don't smell that bad when I go inside a breeding shed, and I'm pretty surprised."

"You sprinkle charcoal, you put warm water in small sweeps and at the right temperature, and you let the lamb birds take a bath in the water, and you sunbathe."

They were all cultivated in breeding training.

After listening to a lot of stories, Kanes looked at the rum bird in an interesting way.

Mr. Calaria picked Kanes' right flank and pulled it a little.

"Raising rum birds in Aquas is not possible. I'm full of Ayuka."

"Oh well. Right."

Were you going to incorporate it?

"It's not something we can do overnight, and when it comes to making a profit, we need to align quite a few. It's gonna be hard to reconcile it with Ayuka."

"Does Amane think so, too? Then let's give it up honestly."

See how convinced you are, Kanes, and Mr. Calaria will see me small. Appreciates what you stopped from me, too.

Leaving the Ram Bird Breeding Hut and showing the entire village residence before guiding them to the office.

Kanes had a satisfying grin.

"I'm relieved that Amane's village seems to be spinning well. Here's what the good enemy has to do."

"I'm just starting to turn around, though."

"Unlike Aquas, there's not a lot of water. In four years, black is a feat."

That's, well, that's where I can put a little chest up.

"Next time, Amane will come to Aquas too. I'll show you."

Kanes' suggestion is very appealing. I want Ayuka again. In a salt grill.

Richay pulled my left sleeve tightly and stared up at me.

"We're finally on track, so we can't allow prolonged absence."

"Well, he said it was okay. I'm not even talking about tomorrow."

Ayuka looks like she's been keeping it for a while.
