Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

Shizuko, who observed the villages and surroundings of the two works, was still convinced that his thoughts were not wrong.

The river was in two places, near the village and a little further away, but both had brown water running even though their knees were shallow enough not to soak.

When I tickled, a small grain of sand was taken with the water.

Depending on how it rains, the water may become brown and cloudy for about three days, but it has never rained in the past few days.

The river from which sand grains can be taken in the first place is a river that is completely polluted by dust and sand.

This cannot be used as drinking water in the end.

Laundry isn't supposed to be possible either, but I guess there wasn't anything else but this place.

(You're not cutting, so the soil is sticking out. With the rain that came down, the topsoil must be flowing and accumulating in the river. If you don't treat it early, you'll end up in a forest with landslides and other mountain disasters)

I tried to walk lightly through the forests surrounding the village, but everywhere the soil was dry and hedronic.

Just a short walk made my grass muddy and useless.

Vitman, Kaiser and Kaenig were also taken by the mud and could not move as they wished.

It is not necessary that herbivores or carnivores feeding on them do not come close.

"This is more dangerous than I thought."

The condition of the mountain is terrible even if you just stare at it. Modern times are high enough to be certified as a Mountain Disaster Hazard District next year.

If we did poorly, the landslide could have come to our village and even suffered tremendous damage.

Shizuko was wary of the fact that the village, which had finally been able to row to reconstruction over two years, could have been lost in an instant.

"At least two villages need to stabilize. And that leads to the safety of our village."

There is no respite to see the situation.

In the worst case scenario, he needs to plead with Kasei Mori to lend him a temporary husband.

As soon as possible, poorly-grown trees and roots will be able to spark out stripped trees and so on, and the public good functions that forests are inherently capable of must be restored.

I'll be back.

Shizuko, who gave his life briefly to the Vitmans, returned to the village of the two works with a quick heart.

When I returned to the village, the lunch box I gave to the two works was tucked away in the bellies of the coarse villagers.

Some of them were cooking their meals in tears because of a long decent meal.

I thought it was slightly over static, but they remind me that my hunger has been going on forever.

(I hope my stomach is startled and I'm not in shock...)

With that in mind, Shizuko looks for two pieces.

Fortunately, or unhappy, there were not that many adults, and I was able to find two immediately.

It seemed to solidify in the family, with an old man like his grandfather and grandmother, his wife and daughter near him.

They were so thin that they could say bones and skins.

"(We need to do something about it.) Mr. Two, would you mind just a little bit?

The moment I spoke that way, the gaze of everyone who was on the spot gathered at Shizuko.

The villagers put their lunches on the ground and put their hands together against her without seeing such a static child, who was staring from all around her and could accidentally pull her back.

"Thank you. Yes. Thank you very much."

Surprised to be flattened, she learns that the majority of those who bow their heads are old men.

There is one answer to be derived from it.

(Same goes for my village, which also has extremely few old people and children. I guess that means that the mouth drop was done...)

If there is less to eat, the old woman or grandfather will inevitably be the object of lip service.

If there is more to eat from it, the next person who is physically weak or unable to work, and finally the child, will be the subject of mouth loss.

I have no old man and no children. And all the villagers are starving to death: bones and skins.

That meant that you were not satisfied with your daily food support even with your mouth drops.

"Big Wolf, please save my village"

(... what? Big wolf...?

Shizuko leaned her head in the first words from a certain villager, but remembers that this was the mountainous area.

People living in the mountainous areas of central Japan and the Kanto region sometimes believed in the use of wolves as gods, that is, as family members.

Also worshipped as' gods' were wolves who lived in the Chichibu region, including the Sanfeng Shrine.

In the days of Shizuko, the nihon wolves that lived there are extinct, though.

Shizuko, remembering the Wolf Faith, sees Kaiser sitting beside her.

A child of Vitman and Balti, a wolf with the highest ranking.

The wolf is said to be the same size as an adult after a year. But it takes about two years to mature sexually.

But only Kaiser has grown to a size that is already very different from that of an adult.

The other kids are childish in size, but Shizuko didn't know why he was the only one to have undergone abnormal growth.

But contrary to his appearance, he is sweet and always sticks to Shizuko.

I was stuck with my mother's balti until a little while ago.

"(Wolf Faith......) It's time to start work, so if you'll excuse me, could you gather some woody people?

Now the villagers are lying flat, but Shizuko thought to take it aside for one second and fulfill their original purpose.

Most of the villagers raised their names as wooden dust to see if the lunch box played its part.

It's a delightful miscalculation for Shizuko, who expected a total of more than two hundred and about a dozen.

"I'm going to break a tree around here. They say 'logging', but well, don't worry about it there. Anyway, I'll make sure every single tree stays moderately spaced."

"Yes!

Enough temper, the villagers raise their voices like they said.

I don't really like gut theory, Shizuko, but now I thought it would be better to honestly rely on it.

"Please carry the felled trees to the foot of the mountain. There should be our villagers there, so if you hand it to them, it's over."

In order to be used as lumber or firewood, the tree must first be dried.

However, no storage sites or working places for processing were found in the mountainous areas.

Therefore, it was decided that the trees that seemed to be able to be processed into lumber in Shizuko's village would be cut to the appropriate size and the remainder processed into charcoal and firewood.

While it is drying, it is necessary to set up an environment in which to "lay low and bake", but it will take at least a few months, so there is room for time.

After finishing processing, it was decided to use the excess material as a burning material for breaking material.

"Then I'll sort it out, so the trees marked with it will be asked to remove every root"

"Okay!

That being said, Shizuko marks the trees for felling one after the other.

It's almost the spot of a static child rather than an equal interval, but now it needs to be an environment where the sunlight reaches the ground more than accuracy.

It was therefore necessary to cut down the trees so much that they appeared to be scurvy.

"Leave this because it's sturdy. You can't do this, let's cut it down already. The next tree from here..."

While the state of the trees was checked briefly, Shizuko sorted the trees to be harvested.

After sorting out some range, Shizuko left the wooddust on the spot to return to the two villages.

"Mr. Tango, Yoichi. Are you ready?

Shizuko speaks to Tango and Yoichi as soon as she returns to the village.

Next we have to work on equipment to filter the river water and work on digging wells.

The installation of filtering river water is not that difficult, so I decided to finish this one first.

"Be Ready"

That's what Tango says. Thumbs up.

As he put it, behind Tango's work the cloth was fixed in a slightly loose state on the wooden barrel.

"This is the water from the river. Wow, I saw it again, but it's earthy."

The wooden barrel, which was not blocked above with cloth, contained muddy, dirty river water.

It would take more than a day to precipitate it all. Still, I was suspicious if the water would be clean.

"Now let's leave charcoal, grass and pebbles on the cloth in order"

So what Shizuko thought was an impromptu filtration device that is also commonly used in survival.

I would have needed finer ingredients, but I needed to keep them to the level I would have procured on the spot.

When you make difficult equipment, you need to come to Shizuko's village whenever something in the two villages breaks down.

That's nothing but a waste of time for both sides.

Therefore, it was important to be simple enough for both of us to make it.

"Charcoal purifies water and grass removes sand contained in water. Pebbles do the same thing."

I will explain that, but I didn't understand most of the words, either, or Tango and Yoichi, who are making it.

For now, I was only thinking to the extent that "the water will be clean".

They pour water out of ready barrels.

It's faster than garbage precipitates, but still had to wait about an hour to two.

In the meantime, Shizuko embarked on the last task of digging a well.

"At the end of the day, it's a well... I wonder if I can find it well."

Looking for a groundwater vein that can be used as a well requires tools and patience to do it.

It's likely to fail again and again, so it makes no sense if you don't have patience.

Shizuko also tried to dig wells in their village before, but after five challenges, it's all a result of failure.

However, it is ironic in some ways that the tools available at that time will work here and now.

"I wonder if I'll look for a tree branch pointing to the ground. Or use this natural magnet to measure the magnetic field that the groundwater vein makes…"

Shizuko accidentally discovered a magnet when he failed to dig a well.

There was also the possibility of a magnetite mine, but whether it was a magnetite or a magnetite mine didn't matter much to Shizuko.

It should be noted that the Japanese magnetite mine was discovered in the country of Omi (Shiga prefecture) in the sixth volume of the Continuous Japanese Chronicle (top) of the Nara period, and was given to the Emperor as a Mercy Stone on May 11 of the sixth year of Wakamatsu (713).

The azimuthal magnets were then passed from abroad in peacetime.

Since then, magnetite mines have also been imported from overseas in Japan, making azimuthal magnets.

I got such a precious magnet, Shizuko, but naturally the disadvantage is greater than the disadvantage.

First of all, there is only one thing. If it breaks, it can't be the next one.

It's impossible to find. Because I'm even suspicious if I can dig back into the ground like a magnet or something.

And since the shape is close to the black sphere, it is difficult to distinguish between the north and the south so as to examine the direction.

Since she had no choice, Shizuko hung the magnet with a thin string, pinching the bamboo plate so that she could see north and south.

Except it looked awful and from the side I could only see a woman doing suspicious things with pebbles.

"I wonder if I can find it in this. Well, I'll give it a try anyway."

As he sighed, Shizuko began to look for ground veins with magnets.

Then they searched for a place where the well could be dug, but found no suitable place for the indicative well.

Digging it up was muddy or difficult to locate, and I couldn't find a suitable place for the well at all anyway.

If you look far away, you'll have the best place, but then it'll take you a while to get the water.

Then it would be quicker to go down to the foot, so I had to walk and dig a well about five minutes away.

"... you don't, village chief"

"Don't put pressure on me..."

"Plump?

"... nothing. Anyway, now I just have to look. Worst of all, you might need a machine to suck it up from the foot..."

With that said, Shizuko turned his gaze toward Kanezu, and he turned toward the day after tomorrow with great momentum.

You don't have to put it into words to understand.

Such a mysterious device, he claimed on his back that he wanted me to give him a break to haunt his head for a while.

Worried about what to do, Kaiser, who was suddenly beside him, barked.

I wondered if there were any animals out there, but he barked and went somewhere.

Shizuko, who couldn't keep up with much understanding, caught up with Kaiser at the same time.

"Wait, Kaiser! Where are you going?

Shizuko speaks but Kaiser doesn't stop.

A wild animal, albeit a wolf, quickly separated the static children.

But I didn't seem to intend to go that far, so I was able to catch up with Kaiser right away.

"Here, you don't run all of a sudden. What the hell is wrong with you?

Reacting to that word, Kaiser barks as he lightly digs a certain ground.

Shizuko tilted her neck at first, but soon Kaiser realizes she's telling her to dig here.

"Mayor! What's wrong -!?

Kaiser's tapping Peshipeshi with his forelegs. Investigating the ground, Kaiser finally caught up with Kaneki and Tango.

The first and second generations were absurd in breath, but they did not enter the scene.

"All right, let's dig here!

No, no, Shizuko took the hand drilling well excavator that the goldsmith was carrying and began digging the spot.
