"Are you ...?"
Senna is leaning over her head. Nao, Shiro and Kuro seem to be unable to grasp the meaning of words.
Well, of course. Schools themselves are now uncommon in human society.
If you are a beast who has been persecuted by society for a long time, you can easily understand what it is. But only Senna seemed to understand roughly.
"Um, isn't this a place where adults teach their children to read and write?"
"The basics are that, but adults do teach adults, and the content is not limited to reading and writing."
"Hey, is that so?"
"The point is that you should understand that it is a school building that expands individual possibilities."
"Personal possibilities ..."
"For example, in the country where we lived, there was a school run by the king-an academic institution, one for wizards and one for alchemists."
"So, can Quito teach me magic?"
It was Nao, whose eyes glowed brightly. I smile and shake my head.
"No, I'm not going to teach magic."
First of all, I'm not a wizard. Although it is troublesome to explain, I am going through such a body.
"Well, I thought I could become a wizard like Quito."
Sena gently licks Nao, who disappoints her lips.
"Oh, Nao! Stop that kind of attitude!"
"... I'm sorry, Mr. Quito"
"No, I had a strange expectation and it was bad."
Laugh and play a magical story and return to the main subject.
"So, the school I'm trying to open is going to teach only reading and writing and calculations after all, but I'd like to teach more in the future."
"What do you intend to teach me?"
"Well, I haven't decided yet, but I'd love to teach you something that Senna is good at. There are many other things, such as music and natural science."
"Eh, Sena unnie is good at painting !?"
"Meow I didn't do it!"
Senna turned her face red in response to her sister's reaction and rushed to deny.
"Ki-Katto just says!"
The upset was so funny that I blew out unexpectedly.
"That's terrible! Don't you laugh!
He apologizes to Angry Senna by expanding his cheeks and continues to talk.
"That's why school is a place to expand possibilities. I want to teach more and more without being specified."
"But do you want to learn painting?"
"I don't know right now because my life isn't on track. But as my life gets richer, my values will change again."
Yes, and people have developed that way. If we didn't need to go, we wouldn't have had any human development. This toy spider must have not existed.
"Human possibilities are endless. Then I want to nurture it."
He seemed to understand Senna and nodded with an impressed look.
"I see. So when do you open school?"
"It's going to be difficult in the situation right now."
"What about building everyone's house?"
"Yeah, that's good. Let's do it."
"Are you only teaching children literacy and calculations?"
"No, I'm going to teach adults at the same time. I want kids to learn daytime and adults to learn nighttime so that they can learn to read, write and calculate."
Rather, it is adults who prefer to learn literacy and calculations first.
For now, it depends on my distribution, bartering and helping each other, but as the city develops, a monetary system will need to be introduced. Bartering from bar to bar is too burdensome for residents.
So it's better to use money instead, but if the inhabitants can't read, write or calculate, it will certainly fail first.
As I explained, Senna nodded again as if impressed.
"I see. I didn't know much about money, but as Keto says, it seems more convenient to spend money when there are more people."
"Yes, that's right. There is a problem with the monetary economy, but given the growing population, it would be more confusing not to introduce it."
"That's right, not only now, but also in the future."
"I'm glad you understand. You're the city leader."
"That's because we just agree with Mr. Quito's ideas!"
Senna shrugged down.
Sure, I'm just following my idea now. But if you learn from it, one day you'll be a great city leader without my help.
I'm really looking forward to that day coming.
"Well, the school and the introduction of money are still a long story away. Before that, we have to think about everyone's house.
"Yes! I'm waiting!"
I finished the goodbye to Senna and decided to return to my room. Along the way, a tale comes from Ballena.
"Does building a school eventually teach the truth of the world? 』
"... Which one is it?"
"If you do that, you can let the beasts live on board."
"Oh, I think so."
As the population grows, this back should narrow. Someday it is necessary to open the ship.
"Even if the current generation is impossible, the next or the next generation will receive the truth correctly. So I have to work hard for that. "

The house idea was discussed for three days, and it was finally decided.
I and Senna held a meeting, decided to show the idea diagram on a hologram and listen to everyone. Naturally, the idea was drawn by Sena.
The reaction is generally good. The decision was made without any opposition.
She told me she would build a house with a golem-a working rabbit, and some people unexpectedly offered to help. Apparently, he has no experience but is interested in the construction industry.
I was glad to accept this offer. If you learn the technology as it is, the work of carpenters will be fulfilled. It's really exciting to be eager to become independent.
†
Two weeks after the idea was decided, the house for the beastmen was finally completed.
The variety of houses, tailored to each beast's way of life, lined up amid some chaos, which feels good.
Yup. good. really good!
It's easier to understand that this is a city for a variety of beasts than a unified landscape.
Of course, it doesn't mean it's broken. This is because I and Senna squeezed their wisdom and considered the overall landscape balance.
So it was even better to walk between the completed houses.
Birdman "Um, next is Al's home."
I nodded at the words of Senna walking next to me.
I and Senna were visiting the homes of the beastmen. The house itself was completed successfully, but to see if it really feels comfortable.
At the moment, all houses are popular and no one complains. I understand well from their smile that they are not shy and serious.
When he visited Al's house, he fluttered his wings and descended from the second floor.
"Welcome, Quito and Senna! Please go inside!"
At first glance, the two-storey wooden Al house, which had no apparent change, was very spacious, with a colonnade when it entered. There is no floor on the second floor, and several perches are protruding from the wall. Beds and workbenches were also mounted directly on the walls.
This is a structure that respects Al's opinion that he wants to live on a tree. Building a house on a tree is actually difficult, but it will give you the atmosphere. In addition, since the room is spacious, the wings can be freely fluttered.
Al seems to like this concept.
"It's the best! I can fly in the house!"
"That was good. Is there anything inconvenient?"
"That's ridiculous! Comfort itself!"
Say, Al flaps his wings and hover. I and Senna laughed at Al, who expressed her joy using her whole body.
Utaninto "Uh, next is Toto's home."
Speaking of the tomatoes of the sea raccoon, they are beastmen who have expressed their desire to live on the most troublesome water.
At first, I thought that it was not feasible because of the balance with other houses, but there was an idea to solve this well.
That is to say, instead of thinking first of all with a house, passing a river through the city and building a house on it. To be exact, it was floating rather than built.
The horizontal oval house is made of light material that floats on the water and is secured by a bridge to prevent it from being washed away. Also, because of the large window area, you will always be conscious of water.
Regarding the fields, we decided to give them to the opposite bank in a separate frame. This should not be unequal, as the overall land area has not changed. After all, the water flowing under the house is a public river.
When he visited Tot's house, his wife and children greeted him.
"Hey, Mr. Quito, and the leader. He came well."
I asked Tot, who welcomed me in a relaxed voice, if there were any inconveniences.
"There is no inconvenience. Healed by the flow of water."
"That's okay. Oh, but don't pollute the river?"
Kaitanuki: "I know. The river is sacred, too."
I nodded at ease and left Totto's house.
Since then, Sena and I have visited each household to listen. The result is that everyone is very satisfied. For this, I and Senna stroked my chest down, and smiled together.
"I'm glad everyone was satisfied. I just got a little off my shoulders."
"It was really good. The city will continue to grow."
"That's right. The harvesting of crops has begun early, and I think it has finally become a town."
I was deeply moved and turned to the city.
Today, everyone is enjoying themselves. A few people noticed it waving and laughed back.
After a while, Senna shakes the story.
"Speaking of which, you didn't decide on a name for the city."
"Oh, sure.
"So why not choose" Keat "?"
"Hey, excuse me!"
It's too embarrassing to be able to give my name to anything. As I frowned, Senna laughed.
"It's a joke. I'll call for ideas later."
After laughing, Senna changed her expression and presented her right hand.
"Mr. Quito, let's shake hands."
"Shake hands? What happened suddenly?"
"Hey, before you were astonished by Mr. Garraf, you had to ask for a handshake. I thought it was really good.
Did that happen? ...... It might have been.
"I'm not really terrified of Senna?"
"Now! Don't be mean! Let's understand each other more, right? So please shake hands!"
I smile bitterly at Senna's desperate appeal.
"I'm kidding. I want to understand each other more."
Senna's hand she said was small and delicate, but warm and soft. A strong wind passes between the two connected by hand.
I wanted to keep this bond with Senna much more important.
