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

I was expecting to be able to get guests' feet soon, but even after the architects and bridge-builders for the purpose of the inspection had fallen off, tourists from the surrounding area, starting with the city of Kattera, had been visiting for a short while.

Accommodation revenue is better than originally assumed.

From the opening of the inn, one room was constantly buried.

Richay looks at me as she sums up the income and expenditure of the inn for the past two months with the young general.

"We make over a hundred pieces of iron a month."

Hundred pieces of iron.

Since the building cost of the inn was eight pieces of jade coin, it was eighty months until I could take the original at the current pace. It will take roughly seven years to calculate.

It is suspicious if we can take the original without any assurance that our guests will not be distant.

"Maybe we can look at the sale of souvenirs."

Melmie pulls out one of Richay's compilations. Point to the graph on the material and show it to me.

"Look, most of the inn's profits are accounted for by the food bill."

"Three iron coins overnight for the room at the inn. It was a little pricey, but you're totally pushed by the cost of eating."

I had to secure a room for the architects who were coming to visit, so I raised my price for a while, but did I still lose?

You're almost a cook, this.

Put materials on the table stating the management votes for the ingredients and the number of dishes served by the young woman general.

"Naturally speaking, customers seem to be looking for lamb bird meat and eggs. It's a lot cheaper than buying in the market in Kattera City."

"Oh, other than the village of Takakus, it's costing you transportation."

I was able to read from the materials that there were a lot of eating customers just to get to these villages for meat and eggs.

According to the young woman's dossier, there are quite a few relatively inexpensive egg dishes, as well as dishes made with lamb bird meat.

"Smoking and out of stock..."

Soon Teten, who stood behind me, reports.

There seem to be more smoked products in there than others that can be offered without hands and can be a single pinch of alcohol. It's probably why I offer it cheap without vegetables.

"What about smoked eggs?

"In stock. It won't hold up, so I'll make it today..."

"I would also like to move in the direction of increasing the number of rum birds, but adding the amount to be served to customers and the amount to be exported..."

Maybe we won't be able to increase production in time.

"In the winter, the snow should keep your feet away. Until then, you should keep offering whatever you want."

"We'll have to talk to everyone in the village and stop the consumption in the village and turn it over to customers, while we stop the ram bird production."

Richay and Melmie draw conclusions.

"What's going on with the customer rating?

I left a questionnaire in the guest room with a suggestion from me.

In the first two weeks, the number of customers never exceeded four at the same time, so the number of surveys was small, and the contents were all ear to ear. Well, it's the only inn in the village, and you won't denigrate it unless you're prepared not to come to Takax Village again.

That's why Marcto was driven when he realized the survey was not functioning properly.

The person who put in the questionnaire paper took the form of writing one line at a time next to the box and keeping the anonymity by writing two lines in advance and keeping the dummy paper in the box.

This improvement also led to the writing of things that hurt a little in my ear.

This kind of eye-opener is the good thing about Marcto. Is it time for winter and the guy to start muscle treading?

That's a nasty festive poem.

"Food's pretty high. They say you can eat fresh eggs and lamb birds cheaper than you can eat around."

"There are so many rare dishes that you can taste the pleasure of eating."

"Smoking reputation, seeking…"

Teten leaned over to the circle of women surrounding the questionnaire form.

Richay and Melmie unearth from the questionnaire paper what it says about smoking, and look at each other in distress.

That was all I could guess, but Teten dared to ask.

"The balance of sweetness and spiciness is not on either side"

"It's not like I should smoke."

"If you put the tomato to bed for another half an hour, and then make smoked liquid, it'll be better, maybe?

"Use something fresher for the corn powder you add to the somule solution."

Four minutes, they were all badly criticized.

Teten drips.

"Uh, I'm just getting started. From now on."

"Yeah, well, he said we all know Teten's working hard. You see, customers come from real, smoked Katella cities, so you can't help it, can you?

Melmie, that's not following.

I slap Teten on the shoulder, mouth to ear and whisper magic words.

"Convert in your brain that Richay and Melmie have scolded you for smoking."

"...... yi"

Teten shaking herself with a trance look.

I knew it, but no, this guy.

"Next thing you know, imagine Richay and Melmie eating smoke while they say it's delicious."

"... ooh. I was fine."

"Okay, next thing you know, you're expecting. Besides, there are some things with improvements, so why don't you give it a try?

"I'll try..."

A recovered tetten moved to the corner of the room with a questionnaire form written about smoking and pulled out of the bookcase a summary of the smoking products he had made so far.

I guess I'll start researching to take advantage of the improvements made to the questionnaire.

"I can't believe Teten got back on his feet in an instant. Amane, what the hell did you blow in?

"Did you whisper the word of love?

"Richay and Melmie, don't make it sound bad."

I was just flirting.

To get back to the survey results, I took a sheet of paper.

What was written there was not about feelings about the inn, but about the lack of it if we tried the village of Takax as a tourist destination.

"A village with no fun but food and bridges? Well, it is."

"I think Mr. Melmy wants too much from a small village, but that doesn't matter to people from outside. I'm here to see you, but you can't play. Then you'll be unhappy."

Nevertheless, the village of Takakus cannot have enough strength to create and maintain a simple entertainment facility.

I can't break the budget without some productivity.

"There was talk before, how about building a church?

Richay comes up with a suggestion. I think the young general reacted slightly, but let's not see it.

It's a subtle thing to ask if the church is productive.

The building used at the coronation eliminates the need to rent churches in nearby villages and towns.

In addition, an orphanage can be created with the church and people can be called in if it is also made to function as a nursery.

Although the church, unlike the bridge, is only open to design competitions, the evaluation by church officials will always be made public, which will lead to an increase in the visibility of the village of Tacax.

However, there are some anxieties.

"That church, I'm going to design it, right?

"Absolutely. Who does it but Amane?

Yes, it is.

Church architecture is accompanied by such decorative qualities as magnificence or spirituality. Instead of being inseparable when cut off, I think it's an element that needs to be.

Of course I need a practical aspect of endurance or something, and designing a crying room or something is my specialty, but the essence of the church should still be at the base of religious thought, holiness.

As I've been sporadically told since I became an architect, I'm vulnerable to the design of this hand.

When I qualified as a bridge builder, I was able to fight with profitable and economical design, but when it comes to church architecture, I have to face weaknesses.

"I've received the materials, and I have some drafts. Honestly, I'm not sure yet."

"If you're motivated and unsure, do it to build confidence"

Yes, you are.

Richay hangs me up and I bring the drafts and materials I've written so far from the work room.

While I was bringing the materials, the young lady was asked to return to the inn, apparently without appearance.

"Suddenly you'll be anxious to show it to the villagers, so show it to us first"

Arrange drafts and reference materials on the table, as Richay tells you.

Teten leaned over and peered into the draft.

"... I don't know"

"I don't know, what?

Querying the words too abstract, Teten tilted his neck and looked at Richay.

"I don't know much about myths..."

Oh, I don't know about religion itself, so it doesn't really pin you down when you look at church architecture.

Even if it's not the church. Religion has a lot of influence on architecture, so I've been taught a lot by my master, Mr. Friengs, but you should leave this place to Richay.

Thank you, Dr. Richey, who grew up in a church-consolidated orphanage and has also written many history books.

You thought the same thing about me, and Melmie and Teten saw Lishay, too.

"... okay."

Richay, who smiled bitterly at the gaze of the three of us, began to talk about the myth.

"First of all, our ancestors date back to a group of men and women"

Adam and Eve, right?

Adam and Eve where I say in my previous life, but in this world, at the time, a lot of people lived besides Adam and Eve.

"Let those people live on the earth, on the vast soil that is so vast that this world tree stands now. Our ancestors planted seeds on the ground on the occasion of marriage. As time goes by, alien creatures begin to walk wide."

"... alien?

Teten puts his neck up.

"Yes, alien creatures. That's all I know. Demon worms are also said to be a form of this alien creature. Right, Amane?

Richay talks to me, and I show off what I heard from Hajicha.

"The Devil Bug supposedly didn't exist when our ancestors, the two so-called myths, were on earth. It was a long time ago, and there wasn't even any material left."

"Aren't you going to investigate or something into the roots of the world tree?

Melmie asks strangely.

There have been several times in the past when investigation teams have set out to find out what is happening to the roots of the world tree.

Most results are unknown. The few survivors also leave testimony that there was a giant creature on earth who took the demon worm and ate it, or another creature who ate that giant creature, and he says this with his mouth shut at the end.

"The roots of the world tree are not human-inhabitable environments. If we talk any more, it'll be suspicious. Make it another opportunity, Richay, please continue. It's not a continuation of the suspicion, is it?

"I know. Thinks people have changed, encounters with alien creatures, things they don't like to talk about."

"... Interested, I have"

Ask Amane at night.

Ho ho, so my backlash usually begins when you hear a GL novel.

Let's find some time later to practice the story.

Richay returns to the conversation.

"When the seed sprouts, a child is born between the two of the myths. And then the moon goes on, and as the buds that come out of the seed begin to be called trees, the child grows up, and the two myths quarrel"

"Why fight?

Melmie asks me, and Richay looks at me sideways.

You want me to tell you?

"I got old at different speeds. They didn't have a hundred years to age at the time, but the man stayed what he was when he got married at all times, only the woman got older and the man cheated"

"He's a man of passion."

Yeah, yeah, and Melmie nods.

Richay took over after me.

"A man chases a woman trying to get far. There are already alien creatures abounding on the ground, and it's dangerous to just go outside. A man searches for a woman as he struggles to death with an alien creature. The man offers the woman the branches of a nearby tree and the branches of a healing union when the seed planted on the occasion of marriage grows, and swears to love her again."

"That's what you say when you kick the person you cheated on out of the house, you mean you come looking for a branch of your colleague?

I say it like a surprise, Melmie.

I've never heard such idioms before. Because Jicha wasn't married.

Teten started taking notes for some reason. Looks like cheaters will appear in the next GL novel.

Richay nodded bitterly.

"That's what they say. It's a word you say when suggesting there's a possibility of getting back together, but on the contrary, when you want to get a divorce, it's supposedly a good time to say," I'm gonna break your branches. "

You're here to break my heart.

Now, and put Richay back on the hip of the broken story.

"When they had grandchildren, the two who returned more, their place of residence was attacked by alien creatures. The mythology of two men eating one arm together by an alien creature, but eating the fruit that lived in the tree they lived together from the time of their marriage, could have saved their lives."

"A tree whose fruit was growing, could it be a world tree?

"As Melmie imagined, it's a world tree. The fruit of the world tree is actually a special effect of all diseases. Looks like the trauma's working."

Richay slaps the floor with tricks and feet. Under the floor, to make the world tree aware.

"Two of the myths who lost one arm together said they couldn't leave their offspring in such a dangerous zone, and they were supposedly turned into bi-wing birds to carry their offspring over a world tree. It is still said that the two myths remain the birds of the comparable wings, sitting on the heavenly edge of the world tree, sometimes bringing their children from the earth. Now the myth is over. It's pretty sloppy though."

Forgive me because I'm not a bishop, and Richay laughs as illuminated.

I was just putting together a history book, and it was a short, coherent and understandable explanation.

Melmie snorted and expressed her conviction, too, and she looked at me.

"Amane, do you know how to make a kid?

"You weren't listening? You two mythological birds will be brought here from the ground."

"... classic, too"

Teten put a scratch on me.

Keep my reply busty, Teten opens his mouth after being silent for a while to chew on Lishay's story.

"... church architecture and mythology, the relationship between, what?

Indeed, the story of Richay alone would not even tell the characteristics of church architecture.

I just don't know about church architecture until I understand the myth.

Architecture is my field, and everyone's gaze is on me.

"The architectural philosophy of the Church is to express the world tree that supports our lives, keeps us alive, and protects us from alien creatures walking on earth."

This architectural idea gave rise to a style of standing on the altar with a large strut called the Little Tree and supporting the ceiling with this Little Tree.

"So, it's this little tree, and it's alive."

"... alive?

Teten puts his neck up.

But Melmie, an artisan, of course, who grew up in a church-established orphanage, Richay would know that my words are not metaphors.

"You have a supporting branch, don't you?

I point to my feet.

This branch, which houses the village of Tacax, is undergoing a plan to distribute the load with supporting branches from below.

You can think of a small tree as an architectural version of this supporting branch.

"Heal the struts for the altar to the branches of the world tree itself. So to speak, do a massive tangle tree. So the little tree absorbs nutrients from the branches of the world tree and grows constantly"

It is necessary for the bishop or architect who manages it and the bridge-builder to take care of it, as the small tree may also break through the ceiling from growing with a nutritional supply from the world tree.

"Regardless of the other pillars, only the little tree needs to be always healing to the branches of the world tree in relation to worship. The management of this little tree is also one of the bishops' tasks, but in some cases this little tree itself is used as a support branch."

So for the Church in this world, the Little Tree is an absolute condition for the Church to be adequate.

"The absolute conditions of the church are small trees, but there are other conditions. For example, appearance."

The churches of this world are similar in appearance to the Stave architecture that remains in Norway and elsewhere in previous life.

It is a medieval European wooden building with thick struts and vertical wooden slab exterior walls that recall barrels, also known as barrel slabs.

"Stand out on the bark with vertically stretched plates, or do decorations that mimic the leaves and fruits of the world trees. The most recent epidemic is the three towers that originated in Beautellam, and by making the two left and right towers in front low, you can make the small trees that support the towers in the back stand out."

"... deep"

Well, then yes. Faith is not something that we can talk about overnight, because it continues to refine at the same time that humanity has civilization.

"To put it bluntly, the two main points are that we need a little tree, to describe a tree in the whole or in part of the church."

That's the hard part.

Once again, my three daughters, who looked at the draft I had drawn, shook their heads sideways at the same time.

"None of them."

"Hey, I'm too aware of the world tree. Maybe it's quicker to make Marutai a church."

"Shallow......"

While the blubber scorns me, I open the reference.

"In the meantime, I'll think about a few things"

Ten days later, when the signs of summer approached, I gathered everyone in the village to the public hall.

"I'm going to work on the architecture of the church"

"Are you finally here?"

A single boy, starting with Billows, makes a solid face. Several women laughed bitterly.

Markt raises his hand and asks to speak.

"Didn't I tell you that the village chief doesn't like beautiful buildings?

"They say it all over the place, and I'm aware of it, but don't get hurt when they say it directly"

With a bitter smile, I show the church dessert to everyone.

Basilica style with two side corridors to the left and right. The hallway elevates the ceiling and separates the left and right by an arcade. The arcade consists of four pointed arches with five windows at the top.

The exterior has a roof of shark boards, which is also a feature of the Stave Church. Although not that large in size, would the shape be closer to the Norwegian Header Lustave Church?

Different from Header Lustave Church would be in that it would be high enough to go from front to back. In this world, the trees that extend from the altar behind the church are built in such a way as to stand out, that they are truly more splendid in the back.

The exterior you see in Desan is the image of the cherry blossoms in winter. A combination of an outer wall made of brown wood and a sharpened roof. The apse behind the altar also looks like a small tree cob.

"You seem calm."

Billows reputed it, roaring.

Thinking about having a wedding in this church, I guess there's something about the unspeakable look of this church made of winter imagery.

But that's just the exterior.

I point to the apse part of Dessan.

An apse is a hemispherical part set in the back of the altar. Although it was treated as the most sacred place in church architecture that could be placed in the previous life, it became less important and obsolete as the times descended.

The presence of apse in church architecture in this world is a little ornament that acts as a wood cob when you see the church itself in a single tree. Not so important, it has become fashionable these days to raise the altar ceiling height for the purpose of making the small trees look thicker, depriving them of their position by refrain walls to ensure the height of the ceiling.

Slightly outdated ornaments. That is the position of the Aps in this world.

"Look at this."

I'll show you the Deathsand that drew the inside.

The group of single men, starting with Billows, as well as women, whether married or unmarried, opened their eyes.

"Here, come..."

Billows admire.

"Honestly, I think you can do the meeting?

Not a single one denies my words.

The exterior image is the cherry blossoms of winter.

But cherry blossoms are also ready for spring during winter. In other words, cherry blossoms are prepared for spring in them.

Therefore, the internal image is that of the cherry blossoms of spring.

It's a snowy cherry blossom petal.

"Come on, let's ask about the construction."
