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

Episode XIX: Winter Tales

The morning after I returned to the village of Tacax from the exchange in the village of Kidato, I woke up from the futon and rubbed my sleepy eyes.

"Cold."

I think I'll go back inside the futon.

I'm going to lose the warm temptation, but I can't pull the futon off and back off.

I look next door as I fold the futon.

Teten's futon was folded and placed in the corner of the room.

"Is Teten awake yet?"

I'm usually faster, but it was yesterday that I took four days to get back from the village of Kidato, so he was tired and slept longer than usual.

Looking out the window, it was snowing. It should be cold.

Perhaps Teten will be in a smoking facility. We should be getting ready for the first rum bird cushion smoke.

Put your own futon next to the futon that Teten folds up in, and I'm leaving the working room I'm making into a bedroom.

"Morning, Amane"

"Morning, Richay"

Greet Richay, who was reading the book over a cup of tea in the office.

"I slept well, so it was numb to wake him up and put him to sleep, could it have been extra?

"No, I was just thanking you for your concern. Thanks."

"Yes. Good. Want some tea? Or breakfast?"

"In the meantime, with tea"

While Richay re-brews his tea, he goes outside to wash his face.

Wash your face with cold water and wipe with a towel.

Wiping the droplets with a towel, I remembered and saw the herbal pot plants I was putting on the wall of my office. I put water droplets on the leaves and they sparkled. The soil is also fairly damp.

"You even watered me down"

I guess around Billows helped me out in the field.

You've got more reason to thank me, so I go back to the office.

"With that said, what about Melmie?

"They're going to snowball with the orphanage kids."

A child?

Well, I need to take care of the kid. Because after I went to the village of Kidato, or even more so.

Listen to the reports while I was in the village of Kidato, sipping the tea that Richay brewed for me.

She received a letter saying that she wanted to have a wedding when the residual snow was resolved, although nothing had changed in particular.

"I got the story."

"You've had a lot of weddings lately"

Is it a boom?

"That's all the churches in Tacax Village are famous for. The Tacax Village Church is appreciated in the churches of Yoinsley and Beauterrum."

Yes proof, and Richay came out with a letter from the Chairman of the Comatsu Chamber of Commerce and the manager of a wooden cage shop.

Inside, the text of the main thrust of whether he finally peeled off as a bridge builder is hard to write.

Rumors are spreading that the Tacax Village Church has a good connection to having a wedding, thanks to a general review published by the two skyscraper cathedrals that bind Yoinsley and Beauterrum and the church.

There are a number of rhetoric about myths, and the myths are just things about relationships between men and women and families, and it seems that people in this world tend to take advantage of weddings as well.

Even as a village of Takakus, the marriage business is a earner.

It may even reach one piece of jade coin at a time, including the cost of inn souvenirs, etc. With a lot of visitors at one time, it makes sense to increase the amount you drop in the village as well.

"Once the merger with the village of Kidato is concluded, you can use the other inn and the hot water shop, so you can get a wedding of the size you've refused."

Until now, weddings with a large number of participants, such as relatives and friends, have had to be turned down due to the issue of the acceptable number of people in the village of Tacax.

This problem will soon be cleared up if accommodation in the village of Kidato and elsewhere is available.

Others, when bridges are crossed to the village of Kidato, the village of Takakus will have four branches. With more branches, traffic routes increase, making it easier to get to and from other villages, towns and cities.

In other words, more often than not, you don't have to force yourself to be rocked by a coyote car all day from the city of Katella to have a wedding.

This is very big.

Take a breath talking and I'll point to the kitchen.

"Richay, what happened to breakfast?

"Melmie and Teten have gone. I tried to wait until Amane woke up, but I didn't want to. You'd miss eating alone, wouldn't you?

I do miss you.

"So shall I cook an example egg dish to thank you for waiting for me? Just the two of us."

When I got up off the couch, I could see Richay laughing happily for just a moment.

"Maybe, I was expecting you from the beginning?

"... come on, I don't know"

Saying it with an unfamiliar face, Richay hides his mouth in a cup like nothing happened.

Well, if you look at my eyes, you'll see.

Go to the kitchen and check the ingredients to start cooking.

Example cooking things Tea towel eggs do the trick, but they don't take that much cooking time.

Make thin-baked eggs in a frying pan, wrap ingredients, and serve on a plate.

Of the tomato bread made, the sweet product was taken and placed in a bucket.

"You're welcome."

When I transported him to the office, Richay was cleaning me out on the table.

Even if we don't have a meeting about what one of us is going to do at a time, this degree is heartfelt.

"I'll have it."

Start eating by arranging dishes at the table.

You couldn't hide the joy anymore, and Richay spooned a tea towel egg with a grin on his mouth.

"Always cute..."

He seemed to like it today, most importantly.

Drink a soup of bird dashi with tea towel eggs dipped in it, sugar-fuelled on the head with a gentle corn bread with a rustic sweetness. It's delicious even if you slice the bread into small pieces and dip it.

"It's getting a little snowy."

Looking out the window following Richay's gaze, it was also snowing harder to match the stronger wind.

I wouldn't even call it a snowstorm, but it would be about time the kids playing outdoors started running into the orphanage.

Finish your meal and overlap the dishes.

"I'll boil water in the kitchen. I'll even wash it."

"Then I'll get dressed and ready for the towel."

You don't have to talk about your purpose. It seems to be conveying.

I headed to the kitchen with a stacked dish for two.

Wait until the water in the can boils as you take just a little hot water from the canister you set on fire and wash the dishes.

Poured water from the boiling medicine can into the hot tub, covered it and placed it in a thick cloth bag.

When I was restarting the washing, I heard the front door open.

"Mr. Melmie is back. Yikes! That's right, towels -"

"Yes. Towels and dressing"

"Thanks, Richay! Is Amane still asleep?

"I wash things in the kitchen. Amane, are you ready for the hot tub?

"It's done."

Wipe your hands, grab a hot tub and leave the kitchen.

There was a wet mermie all over the front door.

"You look terrible."

Though I was running around in the snow, it's just hard to imagine it would be this far.

Melmie laughs bitterly as she takes off her jacket where the water drips.

"We got caught up in the kids' ploy in the snowball."

Melmie laughs and takes off her clothes more and more. It'll be pretty cold, so you want to get dressed fast.

I gave Richay a hot tub and I went back to the kitchen.

Melmie would be hard to get dressed if I were here, too.

When I finished washing my clothes and went to the office, Mermie, who finished dressing, was putting her feet on the hot tub to get warm.

"I had terrible eyes. Ask Amane."

Melmie's gonna sue me for sitting on the couch.

"Mr. Melmy, I had a snowball fight with five other adults, and a triplet of elderly and young tens in an orphanage. Then..."

Earlier in the snowball battle, the elders and the youngsters joined forces to expose the five adults to a concentration of twenty men.

Eggy.

"Well, naturally you do."

For some reason there is one person from the Yoinsley Orphanage who is plainly accepting it.

Melmie gives Richay a subtle look at his reaction, while he talks about the developments that followed.

"The struggle of the adults. If we leave one Mr. Melmie behind and destroy him, the elders will have three separate teams circling behind the youngsters, and all of a sudden we will switch targets from the adults to the youngsters and attack them with a cross. That's right, Mr. Melmie's in heaven."

Apparently, the youths were half-baked by attacks from the elders, who were allies until just before, and also somewhat wiped out repeated sporadic attacks with no control.

By the way, Mermie was taken over by younger children who were wolfish about the attack from the elderly but wanted to keep up with their first intentions.

What a benevolent battle.

"It's used hands, isn't it? It's only for youngsters."

Richay Strategic Advisor is analyzing it.

Snowball is a classic winter game in this world, and many times if you're an orphanage where kids get together.

Naturally, Richay must have fought through it again and again in Yoinsley, too. In that silver bullet flying white snow-covered battlefield.

"We were just starting to snow, and we weren't building defensive positions, were we? If you're an adult, stick around a little bit more."

"No way out!? Amane-no-no."

I watch Richay as he strokes Melmie's head as she jumps in crying a lie.

"Defensive positions, you make them out of snow?

"Yes, keep the height and thickness in the range, and the width is unlimited. It's the iron rule to keep the height and thickness down for easy snowfall later."

Seems like you can't break it in half and aim for the hardness of the freeze. The reason, he said, is that it's a pain in the ass if Scoop doesn't stab him later when he snows.

"Snowball is not a game."

My eyes were serious.

"Taste winter and the cold and harsh nature of the world, and learn to be easier with one idea. It's the material of life."

When Richay says the enlightening line, Melmie wakes up her torso and sticks her fist up to the ceiling.

"You hit balls of love on children as innocent as snow!

"That's right. White is dyeing and finding."

"For a waterball pattern of love filled with the black parts of the world!

That's a tough story.

I mean, we weren't talking about snowball, were we?

"In the first place, it was rather Melmie who was dyed black by reason just now, wasn't it?

"Mr. Melmie is not valid because he is stained with amane-color -"

Melmie makes a batten with her arms crossed in front of her chest.
