Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

Episode 14 Bathing in the Forest

I want to take a bath. It's a hot bath. I washed my body in wells and rivers, but the Japanese still had hot baths.

However, it seems that only the aristocrats can take a hot bath in this world. What an unequal society.

But I have Shangri-La. Here, the Goemon bath made of drums is sold for 20,000 yen.

I immersed myself in a bath in the woods and put into practice a plan to heal the fatigue of other worlds.

When I came to Kawara, where I had a banquet with the Beasts, I opened the screen.

I still have the money, so it's water for now. The drum certainly holds about 200L. Poly tanks filled with kerosene should contain 18L.

If you look at Shangri-La, it's a white water tank for 1,500 yen for 20 liters. I decided to buy 10 of these.

Water and kerosene and oil cannot be used together, so we need to buy them separately.

The kerosene is colored red and blue and is commonly seen in home centers and other places. I also used it to refuel the kerosene stove in my house.

Press the [Purchase] button to make a big noise with the garangaran and the polytank rolls over the riverbank stone.

Open his lid and sink it into the river. I don't need a pump for that. When it's full, put it in the item box - just repeat this 10 times.

It's hard to walk around with something like this in your hand, but thanks to the item box, you can go back to the woods by hand.

It looks like an item box.

Run a mountain bike down the road to my open woods. The forest seems to be a little taller, and the return is rising.

Well, it comes with a gear shift, so you can drop the gear. I came to work in the morning in about 10 minutes, but on my way home in about 15 minutes.

Still, it was much faster and easier than walking.

It's already a little dark when you come into the forest. In the evening, almost no light would come into the forest, so I decided to light the fire while I was at hand.

Now, let's buy a drum bath from Shangri-La...

Pouch.

The drum came down with the sound of dung. It is painted blue and has a brass water drain valve at the bottom.

Ah ~. I was just thinking about putting water in, but I didn't think about pulling it out.

And there was a round wooden saw. We're gonna float this in a hot tub and get in. Otherwise, the bottom of the drum is hot, causing burns.

Next, we need to make a kettle bed. If you leave it on the ground, it won't burn, so it's absolutely necessary.

I bought a concrete block and put a drum bath on top of it, lined up on the ground... it's heavy!

Raise the corners and struggle to roll them onto the block.

"Hmm... water after that?"

I'm gonna sweat before I take a bath.

I thought it would be easier to put water in from a high place, and I stepped out. On top of that, I thought it would be easy to put a poly tank with water directly in it, which was taken out of the item box... but this won't work.

I wish it was wider on the stepladder... but I don't have subtle control over where it's coming from.

If you give up placing items directly out of the box, you lift a poly tank and try to climb up the stepladder - it's heavy!

Well, the water is 20L and the weight is 20Kg - a normal cracker. Think while putting water in the drum.

Oh, I'm exhausted before I take a bath. Anything good - search for Shangri-La again.

I searched for electric kerosene pumps, etc., but there is nothing good in it. The hose is too short.

The long, rotary hose is for drums. Items used when transferring kerosene from drums to poly tanks, etc., and not vice versa.

Besides, I have used the rotary type before, but it takes a lot of time.

But I found something good. It's a 100V electric pump. It seems to be made in a foreign country with a square red body. The price is 10,000 yen.

When I bought the hose and the attachment connecting it together, the red electric pump fell off.

Connect the hose to the pump and remove the diesel generator from the item box. I didn't think this guy was coming back.

When the outlet is plugged in, the generator starts.

"Switch on!

The motor roars and water is sent from the poly tank to the drum. That's fast! It took about 30 seconds to get in.

I've brought 10 poly tanks, but if you put them all in, they'll be used as drums. Put them in 8 and use them for temperature control.

I've already put in two so there are only six left, but this will be done in three minutes. Very well! This will be over soon.

Store the pump and generator in the item box as soon as it's done.

All you have to do is light the fire and boil the water.

But this failed a little. Kamaguchi is too narrow. Looks like I had to make it a little higher.

But failure is the source of success. After taking a bath and discarding the water, you can load the block a little higher.

I have to go there today. Burn dongdong firewood into the incinerator.

Yes, a thermometer must also be installed. A stick was given to the edge of the drum and a digital thermometer bought for 1000 yen was enclosed.

This thermometer seems to be for cooking... Well, it would be fine if I used it.

Occasionally, the water boiled for about an hour while stirring on the board. It takes a lot of time.

If we can make the pot floor wider and raise the heat, we'll be able to shorten the bath time a little bit.

Eat cup ramen and packs of rice while the bath is boiling. This bundle of rice is convenient.

I looked for a market in the city, but I didn't sell rice, and I would appreciate it if Japanese people could always eat rice.

But I'm burning up a fire, and the rice box cooker (Hangouoi-san) seems interesting.

And while the water was boiling, I searched for Shangri-La and found a good item. It is a valve attached to the lid portion of the polytank.

It can be used like a tap faucet by attaching it to a poly tank and lying down. Now you can take a bath of water and adjust the temperature.

Place a poly tank for temperature control on the stepladder. It's starting to feel like a bath.

I bought another small stepladder and used it as a scaffold to take a bath. But actually, if you look at this, it's hard to get in, right?

In the image - it seems better to put an iron bar to the side and go in like a suspension...

Buy a single pipe at Shangri-La. I gave it to the edge of the drum. It's a scaffolding operation.

Well, let's finally get inside ~

Become a soup pong in an already dark forest. When ascending to the stepladder with a flick, grasp the single-tube pipe placed on the edge of the drum, slowly step on the snowflake, and soak in the hot water.

Feeeeeeeee ~

Unexpectedly, it sounds like an old man, but I can't help it because I'm an old man. But it's good water. This is my first bath in a different world.

Besides, I came in the woods. This is the Slow Life Pole. I tried to imitate it, but it didn't come out. No, I can't.

I went out and washed myself - but I noticed. What should we do with the sewage?

When you live here, you have to treat the sewage and the toilet.

In places where there is no sewage in the original world, it's dripping underground... but that stinks. It's a free dog.

Should I make compost in the toilet - there's plenty of grass. You can chop the grass from below and mix it with the soil.

I want to plow a whole area around here and make fields. Light comes in during the day, and you can make it as simple as vegetables.

Sewage... but I've come up with a better way.

Just throw it in the Trash on the Status screen. To try, I put hot water in the sky of the cup noodles I just ate and put them in the trash...

The display is [Styrofoam cup] [Hot water]. And then, if you press the Empty Trash button...

"Yes, it's empty"

All right, now we have a plan to treat the sewage - the point is to throw it in the trash. Immerse yourself in hot water and consider specific treatment methods for sewage.

Make a sedimentation tank with concrete, the supernatant goes to the garbage bin, and the heavy buildup goes to the compost.

They also sell cement to Shangri-La, as well as books on concrete and DIY. I'll manage.

There is also a circle in the hole digging.

Well, you don't have to do such a serious thing, you can put it in a big plastic pool.

Maintaining a beautiful environment takes time and money. In the old days, the toilet was drained and there was a lot of fat accumulation, and the sewage was drained.

There was a Dob River in the city's Achikochi that smelled strange. If it happens in the flood, it will be a disaster.

When water flows to the Dob River and toilets, it all flows backwards and spreads to the city. It has become a tragic situation where the whole city is covered with odors.

But with that in mind, Daria's city is beautiful. It doesn't smell strange.

Speaking of which, what about the sewage in that city? Next time I go to the city, I'll ask.

But I'm seeing a good way.

I have a feeling that slow life is possible in other worlds.

------◇◇◇------

--The next day, why don't we take a day off from the store and use the power shovel to make the ground.

"All right! Summon Yubo!

Remove the heavy equipment from the item box. There's such a big thing in there, but what the hell is going on inside?

I don't know if I thought about it.

Get in the car and start the engine! Power shovels have no accelerators under their feet like cars.

There is a throttle lever on the right side of the seat, so this controls it.

The faster the engine turns, the faster the arm moves. Use the two levers in front of you to operate the arm.

And there is also a lever in the center, but this is for moving. Push forward to advance, push backward to reverse, twist right to turn right.

The easier it is to learn how to operate. I think it resembles a console controller.

Chop the remaining stump with a chainsaw and dig it up with a power shovel.

That's the power. I can't do this on my own. When you dig up the area, a lot of tree roots come out.

I can't use it in the field unless I clean it all up. Dig up the ground and remove the roots.

Well, it's coming out. It's coming out. I've only dug up about 10 meters by 20 meters, and the roots of the trees are like mountains.

Let it dry and be firewood. However, it cannot be used for firewood unless it is dried for about six months to a year, so it is piled up for a while.

Hey - driving heavy machinery is fun. I'm already in the mood to dig up around here. That's what returning to childhood is all about.

Carefully level the place where the hut is built. It should be as flat as possible. But what about the basics?

The classic of this cabin is a sticky foundation... well, it feels good to place a simple bundle of stones.

In general, I don't know how big a hut it is to not buy it.

But how do I buy a hut and put it on the foundation? Searching for Shangri-La also sells hydraulic jacks.

Do we have to lurk him under the hut and raise him gradually? Hmm, I don't know if I want to see the real thing for now.

However, I bought a big one called a power shovel, so the balance was a little lower.

We should also wholesale something to the Mallow Chamber of Commerce to raise funds. I don't know what to do. Sugar seemed like a precious product, so let's make it sugar.

This would be a classic if it were a different world. I bought white sugar and put it in the white jar that I bought at the same time.

This white jar is actually a bone jar. When I looked for just the right big thing, there was nothing but this.

Well, the bones aren't used, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Later on - take a silver necklace, accessories, a cameo, and once in a while, gold-plated accessories. How do they react?

Shangri-La also has gold accessories. 18 Hardware, but very expensive. Necklaces cost more than 200,000 yen.

But the cash changeover is inefficient. Silver is cheap in Shangri-La, so if you sell it here at a high price, the conversion rate is very good.

After all, it would be a silver product if it were sold.

That night's dinner was served on someone else's bowl because there were excess eggs.

Speaking of which, I don't remember eating a parent-child bowl in my own house, even though I often eat other people's bowls...

If it's fried chicken, I can eat it well...

Yes, I'd like some fried chicken too. I should buy the ingredients and try to make them next time.

------◇◇◇------

--The next day, I went to the Mallow Chamber of Commerce with the item in the box.

The Lord Marlow and his daughter Primura welcomed me.

"I've been expecting you. There are a lot of customers who are looking forward to Kenichi's products."

"I wish I could get a little more, but I can't get some of the valuables inside - I'm sorry."

"No, that's not going to be easy to get, so I can't help it."

I was passed through the guest room, and the items that were removed from my item box were arranged on the table.

"Well, this is lovely. Father ~"

Primura took a bracelet decorated with gold plated cut glass. Inside, the design is stylish.

"I can't help it. If you take it, you won't be able to turn to the customer."

That said, Marlowe is quite weak at her daughter's request.

"Mr. Primura. It's gold, but it's plated."

"Plating? When it comes to plating - using mercury to apply gold..."

"Exactly. I know you well."

Actually, it's not electroplated.

"Why is it taking so long?

"Well, the craftsman who made it was weird."

Of course, it's a big lie.

I removed the white lid from the item box and placed it on a low table.

"Today I brought something unusual."

"This is...."

Primura takes the lid of a jar and looks at the white powder inside.

"This is for sugar."

"Huh? Is this it? Such white sugar."

Sugar in this world is mostly unpurified black sugar.

"The craftsman uses a secret method to make it, purified by hand salt."

How about putting it on hand salt even though it's sugar?

Marlow and Primura lick sugar with their fingers and taste it.

"Hmm! This is indeed sugar. Besides, there's no eggs....."

"It takes a lot of trouble to get rid of all the acupuncture."

"No, this is great."

--That said, they can't face each other.

"Is there a problem?

"Mr. Kenichi is from outside, isn't he?

Primura tells her to be careful.

"That's right....."

"Salt and sugar in this country is a national monopoly."

Huh?

Mr. Mallow's words made me agree. [M] Salt and sugar are certainly precious. Salt has been a monopoly in the former world.

"But this sugar is great. We'll buy it personally."

Marlowe's wholesale price is one sugar and one gold coin (200,000 yen). It's still quite expensive. And the white pot used for the container - the skeleton was also collected for one silver coin (50,000 yen).

If you buy sugar at Shangri-La, it will be about 200 yen per kg. I thought he had a very good conversion rate...

Sold exclusively... I can't help it.

I understand that sugar and salt are bad, but it is cameo that has a good reputation for rich people.

"Many people want more of this...."

"This is a labor-intensive product."

"You cut a layer of stone with different colors of agate, right?

"That's right."

"I showed it to a jeweler I knew, but when I made something like this, it was too much work and it was difficult to sell it."

The transaction ended well, with 15 gold coins (3 million yen).

Now you can buy a cabin and put a period in your tent life.

On my way home from the Mansion, I'll talk to Marlow about the sewage.

"Ah, there is a septic tank with water stone. Did you not know?

"Yes, in the countryside, there was a lot of drifting...."

I'm sure it is.

After all, if you live in the city, there's a plan to build a septic tank. I see - did you make a treatment tank out of water stone that purifies water?

Then I nod that the city is beautiful.

Incidentally, the toilet is a suction type, and there seems to be a specialist who treats it in the suburbs to make fat.

On that day, I opened a stall at the market a little before lunch, and the sales were less than 10,000 yen.

I started a deal with the Mallow Chamber of Commerce, so I can stop the stall, but I don't know what kind of people I can connect with.

In fact, the connection with the Mallow Chamber of Commerce came from the maid who visited the stall.

I was so excited to get the hut, I went back to camp.

------◇◇◇------

--Well, let's buy it.

Confirm Shangri-La and add the loghouse style cabin to the cart. The price is 1.7 million yen, big shopping.

"Let's see. - Pooch."

I pressed the buy button.

Then - a lot of squares and slabs start to come down from the sky. There are also glass window frames. It piled up on the ground.

"What the hell!

Why is it falling apart?

Let's take another look at Shangri-La's page.

"Self-Building... Self-Building?!

Yes, the hut was an assembly kit.

Seriously...
