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

Episode XIII Love People

Leaving Kattera City, I'm taking Mr. Teten on my way back to Takakus Village.

The baggage I carried contains a bunch of yarn from the bird eata spider I kept hunting for my way out. There is no harm in keeping the yarn of Bird Eata Spider, which can also be used when building tents, since the city of Kattella to the village of Tacax is a two-day walk away and you will always be in the wild on the way.

Unlike going, there are two tents.

I see Mr. Tetten walking beside me.

Although it's a two-man journey, I don't have the guts to alert Mr. Tetten to me. I'm supposed to hate men, but what do you mean?

Well, I don't want to taste the awkward journey, so have you ever crossed without being alert?

"You know how to make smoke when you're a graduate of training school, right?

"... I understand"

... He's nervous.

"Have you ever smoked a rum bird?

"... None"

"It's hard to get when it's a Kattera city, and I can't help but have no experience. I'm also thinking of having Mr. Tetten make smoke out of rum birds growing in our village. Feel free to say if you want materials or even pick up a copy for loan from Yoinsley"

"... ugh, um"

Some anachronistic acknowledgment returned.

It's not a good idea to get some people used to it, but it's going to take some time.

Should we figure out a way to reduce contact successfully until we get used to it?

It's going to be a burden on Mr. Teten even if he keeps having too much conversation, so he exchanges pompous and unusual words.

Only the drawcage and Mr. Teten's walk was slow, and the sun went down a little over half of his goal.

"I'll build a tent, sit in this chair and wait."

After I put the simple chair down and let Mr. Tetten sit down, I'll take the tent out of my luggage.

Strike the pile against the branches of the world tree so that it does not fly with the wind and assemble it quickly with the usual guidelines.

When I finished putting up two minutes of tents to go with Mr. Tetten's minutes and looked back, Mr. Tetten was starting a fire.

It's brilliant from the way firewood is assembled. You mean professional when it comes to dealing with fire, even though it's a drawcage?

"Is there something you can't eat?

Ask Mr. Teten as he chooses ingredients from the luggage he throws into the tent.

Mr. Teten shook his head sideways.

"Then make it right."

"... sooner or later?

It's a long way off.

Mr. Tetten, who lived in the city of Kattella, would not have eaten a lot of rum birds, and would you like me to take this opportunity to taste them?

Easy dish where you can take dashi with lamb bird meat made into dried meat, add some vegetables, and chisel out the corn flour. Or a man's big dish.

It's convenient at last. I need to wash less.

Hand over the wooden claw and the wooden spoon to Mr. Teten. I don't know how much to eat, so go ahead and self-serve.

"... oh"

I heard a small exclamation. Looks like you liked it.

Nevertheless, I will shift my gaze to the fire prepared by Mr. Tetten.

Even burning fires stabilize the firepower when qualified heat source managers are available. What logic does it make that the height of the fire doesn't change when the firewood carburizes and collapses?

Although the heat source manager said he was an elite, he was dragged by the image of a meeting cage and licked a little about Mr. Teten. Let's reflect.

"- So, this is the better heat source manager, Mr. Tetten?

As soon as I get back to the village, I see Mr. Tetten, whom I led to the office, and I see Mr. Tetten, as Richay observes.

"Not what I imagined, but I'm glad. I don't like hot people."

"... thank you"

The opposing tetens are trying to laugh, but their cheeks seem to have caught on and they are not laughing.

Amane, you brought the girl in again.

I can grab the root of Melmie, who told me to touch him all over the village.

"Don't make Mr. Tetten uncomfortable as soon as you get to the village."

"I don't know. Amane, I've decided to wait for your scratch.

It's pretentious. Pretending, Melmie shook her index finger left and right before turning back to Mr. Tetten.

"Halo Roth!

"… Halo Roth, it is"

After a serious look at Mr. Tetten, who returned a strange greeting with confusion, Melmie looks at me with her eyes shining.

"I saw this as qualitative enough to be Mabdachi!

"It's nice to get along, but don't make me too tired"

Not all of us can keep up with Melmie's Nori.

"It's okay, 'cause I'm going to let you get used to it one by one. Nevertheless…"

Melmie reached out in natural motion and paid Mr. Tetten's forehead gently.

Mr. Teten's wavy brown forehead rises fluffy, revealing a pully and unhealthy white face.

I feel like I've never seen Mr. Teten's face clearly before, which has been a top-down addition and subtraction all the way down the road to here. She's quite beautiful.

"I knew she was beautiful. There's no madness in Mr. Melmie's eyes!

Richay sighs when he sees Mr. Tetten rushing down his forehead with his confident Mermie.

"Melmie, you don't do anything people don't like."

"Is that it? Didn't you like it?

"... no, nothing"

While turning away, Mr. Tetten had a distorted grin he couldn't take either.

"Oh, yeah? I did it because I thought it seemed like an atmosphere where girls would forgive each other, but it was early? I'm sorry."

Mr. Tetten stiffens and begins to grate at Melmie, who honestly bows his head.

Interpersonal skills seem hopelessly low.

I speak to Melmie.

"I'll ask Melmie to show me to the public hall. Mr. Tetten will be spending time in the corner room on the second floor of the public building for the time being. Tetten, if you need anything, tell Mel or me."

"Amane, if you want me to guide you, I'll do it."

"No, I'll leave it to Melmie. Richay wants you to help him arrange meals for artisans coming to build a smoking facility."

Richay looked at me uncomfortably, but he called out to Mr. Tetten just because he had no choice.

"You can talk to me, so don't get dissatisfied. It's an unfamiliar environment, so I think there are a lot of things missing. If you tell me, I'll take care of it."

To Richay, who speaks gently, Ms. Tetten raises one hand in the way she said she was terrified when she nodded over and over to Kokukoku and the small animal tick.

"Now, just one..."

"What is it?

"You don't need to... I don't even need polite words..."

If you ask me, I guess it was definitely someone else's demeanor.

"Okay. Teten is part of the village today."

"Thank you..."

Melmie grabs Teten's wrist with her head down with a dust and walks out toward the front door.

"Then let's go to the public hall while introducing the village. Ask Melmie anything."

Richay looks worried to drop off Teten leaving the office while Melmie pulls him off.

"Leave it to Melmie. Are you okay?

"It's him, and he's not the only one who makes a fatal mistake. Besides, you'd better let Teten act with that noisy guy to get used to people."

I think it's a rough cure, but Melmie can take care of it, so it will work.

"That's true, but I'm a little worried."

Richay muttered so, then sat on the couch.

"So you arranged a meal for the artisans, right?

"Yes. They're coming about ten people. The construction period is sixty days."

"Is it going to take that long?

It's a special facility.

It takes time to use fire-resistant materials, as well as regulations on how to build them.

Rather, it is as abnormal as the craftsmanship of the city of Kattella, which ends in sixty days. Should it be called a group of boulder experts?

"Finally, the lack of financial resources is getting worse."

Whimpering as Richay calculates the cost of food and more on paper.

I give Richay the sale money for the demon bugs he hunted on the road to reassure him, and I give him a note with the market prices he researched in the city of Cuttera.

"The smoker you said before is going to sell it. Ram bird meat and eggs, both produced in Katella city are expensive, so it's unlikely to be easy to buy."

The price of rum birds in the city of Kattera is high. There is also a low supply and the value has stopped high.

If you say what happens if you sell smoked products here, it will probably sell cheaper than smoked meat from Kattera city. Anyway, there are smoking experts in the city of Cuttera. It's many times better to buy raw meat and smoke it in Katella city.

"The city of Kattella imports and smokes raw meat and exports it to nearby villages...?

"That's the thing. Smokers in Cuttera City make money from the difference."

We eat into this structure.

From the production to processing of rum birds in the village of Tacax, it is carried out in one hand and exported to the surrounding villages.

There is already a market where the city of Kattera has cut me open, so even if it tastes slightly inferior, you should be able to challenge it at a price to win.

"Of course, raw meat exports to Kattella cities will continue. Smoked rum birds in the city of Kattella are luxury goods, and Tacax villages are for general consumption."

Smoked products with increased preservativeness can be exported widely. It can also be a merchant's merchandise and can bring merchants into the village of Tacax.

Richay nodded as he was convinced of my explanation before accompanying it with a word of denial.

"But we can't scale up the Ranm Birds this year."

"Exactly. I still keep the rum birds from Goigalla Village, too, because they're full of hands. As for this smoking, it will start next year. There you go."

I keep pulling out reports while I'm away about my seat.

"It will also be necessary to secure fuel to make the smoking facility officially operational. I can't keep it running until next year, so I'm going to cut it off from the prep period and make it a challenge this year to ensure fuel stability."

"When it comes to ensuring fuel stability, is it a woodcutter field?

"Oh, I think a world tree insertion field would be the best place to do that, too,"

The world tree is extremely strong in vitality and grows quickly simply by properly folding it and inserting it into the soil.

Four years have passed since the village was opened, and the soil for expanding the fields is now ready, it is now possible to create fields that increase the number of world trees with inserted trees.

"The market price of the city of Kattella is a reference value, right? When you think about selling it for less than this price and making a profit, there will only be wood to choose from and world trees. What do you do with the smoked liquid?

"Smoked liquid is still under consideration. Smoked liquid made from world trees tends to have a strong salty flavour and gives it an egg flavour. I hear there's some way to make it from tom, but I'm going to ask Teten for more information."

The qualification holders of heat source managers also learn smoking methods and so on as knowledge. Field training is also organized in the training schools of the city of Kattella, so Teten, who has never smoked rum birds, should also know how to do it itself.

When making smoked liquid from the corn, the sweetness of freshly picked corn is similar to that of pepper when placed for a few days, and each is felt from the smoked liquid. Smoking professionals say they put the tomato to sleep at the right time to balance sweetness and spiciness, creating an exquisite smoking liquid.

Apparently, only one person with more than three hundred years of experience on that path will reach that point of arms.

Smoking liquid as well as smoking time greatly affects the product, so it is not something that can be managed overnight.

Smoked roads are long and steep.

"When I'm listening, it seems reckless to make it in the village of Tacax,"

"I'm ready for some failure. I'd really like to go for training, but it seems secret how to make smoked liquid or something."

We just have to go down the tunnel.

If we fail to do so, we'll just eat with everyone in the village in the winter. I knew I'd get tired of just dried meat, so even failed smoked meat would change my mood.

Melmie and Teten returned to the office to discuss the necessary materials and means of securing seedlings for the insertion tree fields.

"Is that Teten with you? Was there something wrong in the public hall room?

It would be inferior compared to the dormitories in the city of Kattera, but it should be comfortable to live in. At least, I'm confident.

Melmie laughs and flushes my worries.

"No, no, I think he liked the room. It's quiet, and people don't come because it's a corner room. The doors are thick and locked."

We're talking about security, aren't we? It sounds like I'm willing to pull a cage.

"Somehow, it feels nostalgic?

That's what Melmie says, looks at Teten. Teten, who looks smaller because of her hips pulling, was grabbing Melmie's clothing hem with her right hand.

Teten looks up at Melmie. There was respect there.

"... will intercept the man"

Well, you know what?

Melmie would use his high communal abilities to get rid of me even if some weird bugs came by. Even if I don't get rid of it, I can still get my consciousness out of Teten completely.

But I don't think it's a good idea to depend. I want to avoid situations where Teten can't walk alone in the village in the future, or be recognized by everyone in the village like an accessory to Melmie.

I wonder what the problem is.

I turn to Richay. Lishay seemed to have read my thoughts, and when I nodded small, I removed Teten's hand from Melmie's clothes and held it as it was.

"I'll show you where the smoking facility is scheduled. Let me have your opinion."

Melmie arms up and necks off, dropping off Richay, who takes Teten out of the office with or without him.

"Are you jealous? Mr. Melmie belongs to everyone."

"How does that happen? Just pulled away before Teten could depend on Melmie."

"I wonder if that's necessary."

Melmie says wonderfully, sitting on the couch.

"'Cause Teten's been traveling both of us from Amane and Katella City, hasn't she? And with a wild lodge."

"Oh, you didn't scare me to say that."

"Amane is a natural Gigolo style."

"What's that contradictory assessment?"

"Shi-ri-ma-san"

A child?
