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

Episode XI: Air Market Completion

The development of the market went a long way.

"No, there's been a lot of overlap."

Melmie looks around at the air market where she's finished putting up the floor and squeaks.

It was the first aerial corridor, the first market and, moreover, the first construction to be completed solely within the Tacax.

All the craftsmen hired to build this aerial market are residents of the town of Tacax, starting with Melmie.

A total of sixty. Twenty people took turns to proceed with the construction of the air corridor, and the rest of the inhabitants processed winglight wings, etc.

"Something tells me the town of Takakus grew from start to finish by itself."

"My nose is swelling."

I'm proud of you.

We built one piece of equipment without relying on the craftsmen outside. I have the pride that a child who couldn't do anything has grown.

"Parental idiot."

If you're not stupid, you don't grow a handy kid.

Looking back at the voices unwittingly pinched, a familiar figure stood.

The Hedgeway town bridgebuilder who took care of the road work with the city of Kattera.

Where did you buy it? Teten handmade intermediate food goods and smoked matra sticks.

"Long time no see, Mayor Amane"

The Jianqiao family, who greeted her with a hand with a stick of smoked matra gently raised, took her hand to her mouth in a flowing motion and twisted the smoked matra.

You're always eating something, this guy.

"It's been a while. But what's wrong with you?

I didn't get a visit letter or anything.

Mr. Jianqiao looked around the market and the air corridor and nodded one thing.

"A newcomer will build an air corridor in the city of Katella, so they want you to look at it. Chi, I came to Takakus with my legs extended."

Yeah, you talked about an aging aerial corridor in the city of Katella.

I guess he called this guy famous for road maintenance to his rookie supervisor because he's mobilizing architects and bridge builders all over the city to rebuild the air corridor.

Jianqiaojia points to the connection point between the air market and the air corridor.

"You're using a good craftsman. Work polite, no hesitation"

"Melmie did it."

Halo Roth, it's Mr. Melmie.

"Ooh, Halo Roth! Want some smoked matra?

"Are you sure? Thanksgiving."

"It's good."

Nori, that's good, this guy.

The Jianqiao family also added three people to go around the air market.

"You have an elaborate pattern on the wall. Did you bake it in?

"Yeah, after baking it in, I'm waxing it"

The aerial market is divided into open-air parcels where residents of surrounding villages and towns bring in goods for sale and shopping parcels with permanent stores like souvenir shops in the town of Tacax and grocery stores in Tegulous.

There are no walls in the outdoor compartment to make it scalable depending on the amount and size of the goods being brought in, and it is planned to lend them at how much per compartment.

In contrast, shops are built in advance in the shop compartment, which is a permanent store, and serves as a single store with partition walls with other stores for non-scalability. Unlike the outdoor shopping area, the store itself will not move, so guests may become regular.

As the Jianqiao family says, the walls of the shop have a baking insert, and the front entrance of the shop has a plate with the name of the store carved out of a wooden plate with a baking insert placed instead of a sign.

"A grocery store in Teguruth? That's a hard name to remember."

The Jianqiao family reads the letters on the plate and snaps his neck.

I can't help it because it's my hope.

It is also well made for the store.

A display shelf is scheduled to be lined up with trinkets as soon as they enter through the entrance.

Because product display space is arranged in the L-shape, only small items are placed within sight of the entrance, but when the counter is turned sideways to the back, food items such as dried foods, which tend to develop a sense of life, are arranged.

They're going to have an aligned cup or something for the couple on the corner of the L shape.

In addition to the baked product name plate, the walls and floors also have a calming atmosphere based on wood.

At the same time, it is a space for tourists and residents of the local town of Tacax are able to enter the store at will.

Hanging from the ceiling is a small lamp with winglight wings purchased by Tegu Ruth from somewhere. Five hundred iron coins with wings alone are a crappy substitute, cut with wings flat in their hands and put them inside.

"You're in the mood."

"They say it's a personal store for memorials, and they seem excited about everything. Maybe it's the non selling figurine on the counter."

Maybe 200 iron coins just for that figurine. A chair for shopkeepers behind the counter is a delicacy with artisan arms shining on the seats characterized by a geometric pattern reminiscent of the Art Deco of what I call it in my previous life. I think that's probably about 500 iron coins.

If you calculate the decorations in this store, maybe you can build two of my offices.

Well, I have four priceless dining chairs from Melmie's, so the office is more comfortable for me.

Outside the store, there's a souvenir shop across the street.

Next door is the branch put out by the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Kattella, and on the front of it is the branch put out by the Comatsu Chamber of Commerce of Yoinsley. In the city of Kattella, smoking products were the main commodities, and the Comatsu Chamber of Commerce planned to deal with stationery and popular books.

I don't know what kind of deal you made, but it seems that Teguruth is supposed to be ready to pick up mushroom dries through the Komatsu Chamber of Commerce.

Because the aerial market is built on the assumption that there will be a lot of customers coming and going, the streets are also for spreading. By and large, the width at which a person can walk side by side with about seven people makes a difference at night when there is room for a coyote car that is used to carry goods.

Small squares were also set up at the entrance, centre and exit of the market as places where people could be tired of shopping or designated for rendezvous. It is made to look down from above the old village of Kidato.

If you look down from the sky at the entire air market, there are dewstores and shops lined up in squares. The shop compartment is centrally located and the outdoor compartment is divided into four categories: food, handicrafts, clothing, and four other square corners.

On each side of the square there is an aerial corridor connected, which leads to the entrance on the old village of Kidato, the duet bridge, the inn of the old village of Kidato and the fields and warehouses of the old village of Kidato, respectively.

The tourist flow will take the form of exiting the market through the passage from the entrance of the former village of Kidato to the duet bridge and the Inn.

The goods are supposed to be transported from the field and warehouse through the air corridor to each store.

Explore the market while explaining to the Jianqiao family.

"Looks like they're building streetlights out of winglight wings, but how much did it cost? Five pieces of jade are flying, right?

"No, you only have one piece of jade. We've been working on the material, and the craftsmen have processed it, so it's just the actual processing costs and the hiring of the baggage bug hunter."

"Can a demon bug hunter do such a contradiction when he's the mayor?"

With a half-assed face, the Jianqiao family scratches his head and looks up at the street lights.

Winglight wings are housed in a case of hexagonal columns with clear Devil's Wings. The part of the base and the lid of the hexagonal column was made of parquet, which distracted them from looking fun even during the day when they did not serve as street lights.

By the way, it can be a Melmie piece.

Jianqiao family, who had been looking up at the street lights for some time, walked to the exit of the market, rounding an empty bag of smoked matrastic and sticking it in his pocket.

"Well, then, I'd even go back to Katella City."

"Oh, it's already sundown, isn't it?

Though the road has been set up, it takes a day's walk to the city of Kattera. There's no way this Jianqiao family who was involved in the construction together wouldn't even know it.

But the Jianqiao family doesn't look particularly concerned, and they don't stop walking.

"Tomorrow afternoon, construction begins. We have to get back in time. Yeah, I'll be shopping at this market after construction, so I'm looking forward to finishing it."

Are you still going to buy and eat?

If you had a hard life overseeing construction from the time you walked down the street through the night and arrived back in Katella City, would you be able to maintain that body without the luxury of buying and eating?

Dropping off the Jianqiao family, I'm on my way back to the office with Melmie.

"Don't you want something salty this evening?

"You feel fixed because you smoked matra?

"Splashed out."

I don't deny that there are certain things that make me want to eat ramen or sashimi.

"Humans, you can't just be sweet. Amane would think so, wouldn't she?

"You spoke abruptly."

"A little saltiness eventually highlights the sweetness."

"It's just like cooking around here."

Is it like a tundelle?

"By the way, what was it about Melmie's slightly salty taste?

"... that?

"Don't you?"

"Mr. Melmie was awfully sweet!?

Melmie immediately looks forward with a dismal look as she presses both cheeks.

"Well, in time, you'll be a woman with a good adult saltiness. Time will fix it."

"You're sweet to yourself."

Through the air market through the air corridor to the duet bridge.

"Is that right, something with salt gas? I wonder if I can make something."

"There's a bird lever."

"Then I'll make it in Ajillo."

There is also oil from Louis Oats, spices and other ingredients. It is regrettable that there is no celery in this world.

"Ajillo is a boiled oil made by Amane in the winter, right? You want me to buy you some bread, too?

Melmie points to the bakery in the old village of Kidato, which can be seen over the railings of the air corridor.

"Right. I want bread that is a little stiff and fragrant, where the balance between sweetness and spiciness leans slightly towards sweetness"

"That's an order you can feel committed to. You can't buy it without a bakery."

The bread of this world is made from an object that grinds the tomato into powder.

The tomatoes are freshly removed and sweet, after which the spiciness similar to that of the peppers emerges over time, until by the end of the day they are used as spices.

Due to the nature of this tomato, bread that requires fermentation time varies in flavor and has skilled arms to produce a defined flavor.

Therefore, bakeries have high demand there.

"It seems crowded."

"This is the time, so many customers are going to buy it for dinner."

Stepping down from the air corridor to the old village of Kidato, I turn my back on the duet bridge alongside Melmie and walk out to the bakery.

"Do you make bread dough as soft as your earlobes?

"That's what they say. But when they say softness of the earlobes, they don't usually come with pins."

"Ho ho."

Melmie laughs and raises her dark hair, her ears out.

"Look, just touch it."

"Well, don't hesitate"

- Uh-huh.
