- The next day.

I wake up in the morning. When I look at the ceiling with sleepy eyes, the view is different than usual - there is something in the beam...

"... hmm?

I don't know what it is, so I rub my eyes and try to focus. I can see a black object wrapped around a white belt...

Closer to his eyes, it was a forest cat with Elizabeth collar around its neck.

Of course she's not there when she sees where she was sleeping all the time. All the plates that opened the cat cans were neatly flattened.

"Did you eat? Is it good that you climbed up there?

I thought I couldn't understand human language, but I'll talk to him for now.

If you were going to attack me, you wouldn't be hostile to her because she'd already been killed.

Besides, Murray said that the forest cat would never attack humans.

"Ugh!

The forest cat jumped onto my bed. It was quite a shock because I got on a big beast about 30 kg long.

Nyahn

She'll scratch her head on my face. Even if it's so big, is it a cat that screams? But... your sharp ears are sharp and vivid, and you're quite cute to move around.

When I stroke your throat, it's just like a cat snorting its throat.

And he stares me in the face. Somehow I got what I wanted to say. I need you to get Elizabeth's collar.

When she took the white collar wrapped around her neck, she jumped out of bed to the front door and started scratching the door with her forefoot.

This technique is also kind of cat-like. Probably want to go outside.

When I got out of bed and only wore my pants, I went to the front door and unlocked the door.

The forest cat checks the left and right, turns the big ear and watches the area, slowly and carefully walks forward.

After a short walk, she was alert and walked again - and jumped over the fence and disappeared into the dark forest.

Looks like he's still a little flustered, but he'll be fine with that. I'm glad you're feeling better.

That's all I can do. I want you to live as a master.

------◇◇◇------

After breakfast...

Today is the day of opening the stall, but I skipped it. What to skip and do is dig a well.

The location is in front of the house on the left. We were planning to use heavy machinery, so we disassembled the fence and created a space to secure the place.

First, dig a hole about 2 m using a heavy machine-power shovel. If you start digging through the holes, you'll save that amount of time.

Once the well is dug, you can bury it back.

If you dig more widely to make a slope and put a power shovel into the bottom of the hole, you can dig even further down with a heavy machine, but not that far.

According to the well digging book, the topography where water comes out is like - earth - clay - sand - clay - and it seems that water accumulates in the sand.

When I dug a hole with a power shovel, the leafy soil in the forest was about 50 cm, and the clay was below it.

If there is a layer of sand underneath the clay, it is likely that water will come out here as well.

Everything is an experience. If we don't get water out of here, we might be able to dig a well when we relocate.

I would never buy a hole drill - 39,000 yen. The drill is 1 m long and 10 cm in diameter.

Fishing bottles (vines) cannot be used in such a narrow well, but pumps are used to pump them up, so just open the space.

The engine has two stops, so you can use the same mixed fuel as your lawnmower. Fuel in and use the chalk to pull the recoil starter to start in one shot.

I tried digging first - but I realized it was hard to hold it by hand, so I stacked up the blocks and put a drill there to hold it by hand.

The first 1m was easy, but the difficulty gradually increased as the extension bars were added one after the other.

It takes a lot of time and effort to dig holes, scratch the soil and raise the drill.

Something went wrong here. It is unexpectedly difficult to remove the soil from the pulled drill.

I bought a high pressure cleaner at Shangri-La to blow up the soil - it won't work in the holes I dug with the power shovel.

There is no space, and when I use it, the inside of the hole becomes flooded and muddy (wet).

You must first take the dirty drill out of the hole and use a high pressure washer. I regretted digging a hole in the power shovel a little bit.

But I can't help what I dug up. I purchased four additional drills and went on a mission to exchange them one after the other.

Once the soil-painted drill has accumulated, you can put the item in BOX, take it to the surface, and use a high pressure washer.

Digging about 4 meters with difficulty hit a layer of sand. Pulling up the drill makes the sand wet.

Maybe we'll get some water out of this.

Digging through layers of sand is easy. The blade gradually progressed and hit the clay layer again about 1m later.

This corresponds exactly to the formation in which the water that was written in the well book comes out.

I don't know if this will cause water to come out. If you don't scratch the sand and create a space inside the formation, it will become more and more buried in the sand.

You can't scratch out sand with a drill. Soon it will overflow downstairs.

You have to think of and make tools to get the sand out.

--But I was doing it without eating, but the area is already getting dark. That's enough for today and the rest for tomorrow...

I made it curry that evening.

------◇◇◇------

--The next day.

Once this is done, the stall will be closed until the well is completed.

To create a mechanism for pumping sand from the well, a PVC tube was purchased at Shangri-La - it was modified to produce an iron plate valve at the tip.

As the tip of the beveled PVC pipe is pushed into the hole, the sand gradually enters the interior. When pulling it up, the tip valve closes, so that sand accumulated inside the pipe can be pulled out of the hole.

Water also enters the tube at the same time, so we decided to drill a lot of water drain holes with a 6 mm drill.

However, battery-operated electric drivers like the ones I bought before are completely powerless. I bought a genuine 18V rechargeable electric driver.

Insertion type attachment is used to connect the PVC pipe, but because it is literally inserted, it will not come out as it is.

However, when the adhesive is used, it cannot be disassembled.

Therefore, a hole was drilled with an electric drill in the attachment portion, and the coupling portion was reinforced by inserting a bolt.

And when the sand removal work started, various problems arose.

The 5 m PVC tube weighs quite a bit with wet sand in it. It's pretty hard to get in and out. So I decided to use a power shovel.

Simply brace the wire on the bucket and pull up the PVC tube with the handle on the rear end.

And when you push it back into the well, it's easy to push it with a power shovel bucket.

However, heavy machinery cannot be subtly manipulated. There was a video on TV of a master of heavy equipment handling carrying eggs, but amateurs couldn't do that.

If you do not do it carefully, it will be damaged, so you need to be careful.

If the pipe breaks in the soil, it's going to be hard to get it out. It may become impossible to take it out.

That's why I did it, I want to avoid it.

Pull up the long PVC tube with the power shovel and the water accumulated in it drips off. Lean the tube over the surface and use a high-pressure washer to blow the sand inside.

The water overflowed the well that had been dug, and the hole quickly flooded. Buy boots under your knees for 4,500 yen to prepare for the water.

The inside of the hole is already muddy (wet) and chaotic, and it is difficult to work as it is.

So I bought a compartment and laid it around the well to make a scaffold. I can handle this. When you're done, you can fill it up.

I started working before noon - about 15 times, I pulled up the sand and the sand stopped entering the PVC tube.

Leave PVC tubing inserted into the well and frame to prevent holes from collapsing. Ordinary wells use masonry, but they replace it with PVC tubes.

Use a power shovel to fill the hole while extending the PVC tubing that jumps out of the well tip. This heavy machine is also equipped with an earth drainage plate, so it can be used to even out the soil.

After some trouble, the well was somehow completed.

The surface of the earth bears traces of catapults, so it's a bit of a mess... but I'll clean it up later.

But when it comes to wells, they're quite different from ordinary wells in this world. It's just the tip of the PVC pipe on the surface.

Insert a thin PVC tube connected to this tube and assemble the water with an electric pump, but will it work?

But the sun went down so far. Work to connect the remaining pumps is tomorrow.

When things start, they tend to work at once because they are of such a character that they cannot help but be concerned about the continuation.

I think I do it often without eating. Well, I'm hungry, so I'm working with Snipples and Snipples and Snipples.

Well, dinner - after seeing Shangri-La and worrying about it, I decided to eat dumplings.

They sell [gyoza dumplings containing 48 pieces for 1200 yen]. Looking at the rating field, it seems that the user's rating is also high.

"Let's do this....."

I ate about 20 gyoza dumplings baked in a cassette stove with a Chinese soup - they were delicious.

------◇◇◇------

--The next day, we will finally connect the pump.

I took the generator out of the item BOX and tried using the cheap electric pump I bought before, but I couldn't pump water from the bottom of 7m because of the lack of water at all.

"Well, we need a real well pump."

Searching for Shangri-La, there are several types of pumps dedicated to wells. Since it will be installed outside, I decided to buy something with a plastic cover.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's certainly being pumped up from the sand layer, so the sand may mix up - I'll buy it here...

I bought it at the same time and it cost 50,000 yen in total with the pump.

Stack the concrete blocks purchased at Shangri-La and connect the PVC pipe to the sand collector while adjusting the position.

Using a bent pipe (elbow) or the like from the pump, the water exit was lowered to a height of 50 cm from the ground.

From there, hang the cut blue plastic hose. This is the faucet.

Quickly, remove the poly tank from the item BOX and pump the water simultaneously with the commissioning.

Connect the pump to the diesel generator outlet and switch it on!

However, the sound of a boom is ringing, but the water doesn't come up all the time... Is this some kind of failure? There should be plenty of water in the well.

Read the description of the pump - it says you need water.

"I see...."

There is no water in the pipe, so the wings are empty? Also, it seems that the water will not come up unless the outlet is closed and the negative pressure in the pipe is raised.

When the plastic cover on the pump was removed, there was a place where water could be drained, so I put water in there.

I tried to put a faucet on the water exit, but in the meantime I pushed a wet towel into the blue hose as a stuffing.

"Ok, try again. Switch on!"

The motor went around and the water soon rose.

"Oh, here it comes!

He hurried the blue hose into the poly tank.

Now I'm going to put some water in the bath - no... wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You can branch the PVC tube from here so that water enters the drum bath directly. Yeah, let's do that.

Once the PVC tube is separated, attach a valve to the first outlet and extend the tube to the bath when a branch is made along the way.

The distance is about five meters. There will be no problem.

I tried to assemble a PVC tube in such a way that water enters the drum bath from the back of the bath.

Once completed and the pump is running, water is poured from the PVC tube into the drum.

There is no pressure like the original world water supply, so there is no momentum, but even if you keep quiet, the water accumulates.

It is great to be able to do other work in the meantime. Put the water level sensor on it so that the buzzer sounds.

For more automation, drive the relay with the buzzer power so that the pump turns off.

That's nice, I really like that kind of thing. One day goes by just thinking about the circuit and how it works.

I'm paranoid.

I checked Shangri-La and found that the water level sensor for the bath was sold for 2000 yen.

Once you've installed the sensor, try taking a bath.

Put your hand on the water that is poured from the PVC tube into the drum.

"Cold!"

Yes, well water is cold. This cold reminds me of swimming in the river when I was a kid.

Downstream is dangerous due to the pesticides in the fields and E. coli such as domestic drainage, so it goes upstream, but the colder the water goes to the mountain side.

Spring water and the like are so cold that their legs cannot be soaked. Even if you're swimming in the river in the middle of the summer, your lips quickly turn purple and your tremors don't stop.

I dug a well, but I'm not going to use it for drinking water. Because there is delicious water of ○ ○ sold at Shangri-La.

It's definitely safe. The water stone used by city residents to purify water is said to have no problem with drinking water...

Looks like he actually used it in the lodging I stayed at.

Yeah, I need to get some water stones from the tool shop to make a septic tank.

Hey, I've got a lot to do. But is it starting to look like slow life?

Since the generator and pump were peeling out, I cut the board with a round circle to create a small enclosure like a doghouse.

It doesn't seem to rain that much, so it should be enough for this, and there are waterproof sheets on the roof for now.

Make this diesel generator dedicated to pumping wells, and a better gasoline generator for home use.

PVC pipes running on the ground are also noticeable. Because it has a strong feeling of ruining the atmosphere, it might be better to make a cover with a wooden board and hide it.

There is also the idea of burying it in the ground - which is a bit cumbersome.

And, for example, if something goes wrong and you have to leave this place, it will take time to evacuate.

Even so, it's fun to think about all kinds of things. It would be a big deal to make this a business. I can't do it myself.

I'm anonymous, but I like to draw with professional painting, but if I'm in business, I don't like it. I often have to draw even if I don't like it.

In the first place, it's not the painting I want = the painting I want from customers.

When the drum bath is filled with water, the forest is already getting dark. Perfect. I sweated, so why don't you take a bath and eat?

The water was cold enough to numb when I was putting my hands on it, and it was warm over time.

I lit the firewood in a mulberry made under the drum to light the bath - but suddenly I heard an unexpected voice from behind.

"Mr. Kenichi?!

Turning to his familiar voice, he saw the face he knew - Primura, daughter of the Mallow Chamber of Commerce in a white blouse and blue long skirt.

"Mr. Primura? Why are you here?

"Mr. Kenichi has been resting for a while, so I was worried, and I was in the woods with the Beast, and he showed me to the entrance of the river."

Speaking of beasts who know this place, it must be Murray.

I don't mind visiting, but it's already dark. A nice young lady went to this place without even taking a sacrifice...

Besides, at this time, the gates of the castle walls will soon close....
