Later, after a meeting with Mrs. Yuika, it was decided to start experimental beekeeping next spring.
As personnel involved in this, the actual personnel were Miss Tanya, as an advisor, and I became Mrs. Yuika with funding.
It's really small.
Miss Micah also offered to help, so I thanked Miss Tanya and thanked her.
In this way, in addition to me and Miss Micah, Miss Tanya will join the study group at the church.
Miss Tanya is not studying reading and writing, but she needs to understand the beekeeping book by spring. At the same time, I think it would not be a loss to be able to read, write, and calculate a little.
Miss Tanya, who was watching her parents' work, understood quickly. When she understood the meaning of what her parents were doing, she nodded happily many times and smiled.
"Hmm... I have something my father left me, and I think I can fix it or make something simple for myself."
"Madame Yuika is also delighted. At a later date, let's make sure that Mr. Quid buys what's missing."
"I wonder... where to put the hive?
Miss Tanya leans her neck with a slightly anxious face. Neither Miss Tanya nor her mother inherited knowledge of what her father was doing alone.
Since the bees have a fairly wide range of behavior where the hive box is placed, it is not likely to be a problem anywhere as long as honey is taken. However, when trying to get good quality honey or a large amount of honey, it seems better to thoroughly examine it. According to the book, it is also commonplace to change the position of the hive depending on the season.
"The first candidate is near the village field."
As I murmured, Miss Tanya across the street nodded. Next to me, after Miss Micah thought a little, she was convinced.
Evidence of understanding the contents of each book.
The job that farmers expect from bees is the pollination of field crops. Therefore, it may be said that it is definite to install a hive near the field. I pray that the yield of vegetables planted in the summer will be improved.
I would also like to expect an increase in yields for wild strawberries that are native around the village in the middle of the year.
"Then... in the woods?"
"Hah... yeah, I'm sure of it. Dad had a hive in the woods every season. Because it was too dangerous to do it, and my mother didn't do it, and she didn't let me keep bees."
"Certainly, even experts in the woods are dangerous."
I started going into the woods with Mr Van this summer, but it's harder than I imagined.
Because there are no humans in the forest at all, there are only beast paths, and even beast paths can't be used.
The gloomy grass and groves are nothing but a hindrance, not a clue. You can't get used to the feeling of slipping your feet and running things that scare your spine, no matter how many times you try it.
"Nevertheless, only small beekeeping can be done in the village alone. That's why Tanya's father risked going into the woods."
"Yeah, I think so."
"Now let's talk to Ban, a forest expert. You may know a place that's relatively safe and can be used for beekeeping."
Among the things you haven't taught me yet, there seems to be a place where fruits can be taken, so I think that's the goal first.
Others are like flower fields depending on the season. This is a place I already know, and it was an impressive beauty the first time I saw it.
However, it is not possible to install a hive there. It looked lovely, but it was taught as a herd of poisonous flowers for hunting. I don't want you to collect honey in such a place.
"Um, I met Mr Van yesterday, so today..."
Miss Tanya stared at me as if she had been in the village today and remembered when the hunters were going into the woods.
Yes, what is it?
"Er... Ash-kun is very close to Ban-san, isn't he?
"Yes, thank you very much... but, Ban-san?
I've never heard of him having a sister, not only from the silent hunter himself, but also from rumors of the village.
"Ah, no, that's not it! Um... yeah! You used to come home a lot when you were little, right?
Tanya's face is red like a ripe apple. It's a very attractive expression, unlike her before.
When I turn my eyes to Miss Micah, she opens her mouth as if she were inspired by curiosity.
"That's very convenient. Don't you agree, Micah?"
"Yeah! I don't know, Ash-kun!
Mm-hmm. I feel like I'm getting closer to Miss Mayka.
"What? Huh? Ah, that's why it's not like that!
"Yeah, I know."
If you show such a maiden face, everyone will know. You can even see that the maiden heart can't be expressed honestly.
Not surprisingly, dating in this village is roughly determined by discussions between parents.
Instead of ignoring the person's will, when a daughter or son starts talking in the home like, "That child in that house is good," he asks the other parent, "What about my child?" and he said,
We rarely share our thoughts directly with each other.
In such a culture, neither Miss Tanya nor Miss Van have parents.
In such a case, the neighboring villagers will take care of it, but Mr. Van is poor in his mouth and doesn't get along very well. Miss Tanya is not like that, but her brother Jikil is one of them, and she won't be very positive about that kind of talk.
There seems to have been other reasons besides your brother for not being positive about you.
"Are Tanya and Ban familiar with each other for a long time?
"Well, I don't know. But somehow, parents go into the woods together, and Van is a hunter's family."
"Yeah, yeah. There was a connection between those who worked in the woods with each other. Now, perhaps you know where your father kept the hive, Mr. Van."
"Ah, yeah... maybe so?
That's why I had to look into various circumstances and consult with Mr Van.
"I'll let you know when Mr. Van's schedule is free. Is it going to be a little longer?
Blink and send a gaze to Miss Micah. A smart girl nods carefully.
"That's going to happen. I'll talk to my mom a little bit and have her decide what to do with the discussion seat."
Miss Micah seems to be acting like this.
I will report this to Mrs. Yuika because I may also need a belly craft as the village chief's house.
Mrs. Yuika, a beautiful and discerning woman, has been trying to get a good look at Miss Mika from me lately.
Regardless of the progress of the study, it seems that I am worried about behavior and production because I also look at the social world in the city.
Mrs. Yuika said, "If Ash-kun is concerned, report anything," so I try to be as concerned about Miss Mika's behavior as possible.
If Miss Micah were to socialize in the city, it would have an impact on the village.
Apart from the social skills of the village chief's daughter, Mrs. Yuika, who received the report later, gave me the notice as expected.
"Each negotiation proceeds slowly with a meal, so why not have dinner with Ban and Tanya while talking about memories?"
I wouldn't say the face of Miss Tanya was in a hurry when she said that. Even though I was worried, my eyes, which were relaxed with joy, looked really happy.
Explaining the situation to Mr Van, he asked me to help him with the hunt.
Seems like it's been a little busy, so in order to set up a seat for the discussion, we have to look around the woods on a slightly tight schedule. It's not impossible, but it's a little difficult on my own, so I want you to come to me.
I don't have it.
It's for the beekeeping industry, and it's for the simple Tanya lady. Besides, I think it would be good for a single van even though he's a good man.
It may be an extra favor, but I would like your help in increasing the population of the village.
"Thanks for saving me this time."
At night, a silent hunter talked as they surrounded the fire.
It's my favorite time.
"The deer was caught in a trap. It was one of the big ones."
This evening's dinner is served in a blood pot with buckwheat and wild vegetables in the early autumn.
It is a sumptuous hunter's meal in which the broken deer's guts are stewed in their blood. This is also very delicious.
People who don't like the smell are likely to escape, but the intensity of assimilating into their own flesh and blood the moment they throw it into their mouth will make them sick.
When it comes to satisfaction, it's the pleasure of eating whole lives.
"If I were alone, the deer would be around the wolf....."
"You must have been eaten. I just picked up a pig yesterday."
This is not a trap, but a trace of what we found and a spear.
Not much, but it was very fierce, and I saw the magnitude of the pig thrust. I don't think I could have stabbed a spear without Mr Van's exact teaching.
This one also had an internal organs for dinner last night.
However, because I killed him with a poison spear, I could not eat blood, and my internal organs were well fed through the fire. The poison Van uses for hunting is detoxified when cooked.
I can't say for sure because I haven't been taken care of in my previous life, but I think that what Van is using is the kind of trichikabuto.
"I'm glad I could help. Best of all, hunting."
After eating a lot of meat, Mr. Ban strokes me with his head.
I'm not of the mental age to be caressed and delighted, but I'm glad to be praised by respectable people.
In hunting grounds, you're a reliable boss.
"Tanya's..."
"Yes, what about Tanya?
I'm pretty used to this guy's conversation, too.
If Mr Van says something, he won't say it until almost the end, so we need to make an effort to guide him here.
"Bees."
"Beekeeping? Tanya's family had a wonderful book, so if we build on it, beekeeping will return to the village. Tanya wants to do it herself. Perhaps your father and mother were very proud of the work they were doing. Ah, this is also important for the village, and we can get support from the village chief."
I was listening to Mr Van and talking, but I wanted him to talk more and more, so I talked to quite a few people.
This person is good at listening to other people's stories, but it is unusual for him to want to hear them.
Nh, Mr Ban nods satisfactorily.
"Ash"
"Yes"
"Thank you."
The ungrateful van said so with a very gentle voice, still with an ungrateful expression.
That's all, I feel like I understand.
Why has this person been single all this time?
Well, then, perhaps there was a temptation.
Miss Tanya lives in the field away from the forest without keeping bees. Meanwhile, Mr. Ban lives in the woods and doesn't know much about fields.
Even if you care, there is little you can do to help this lousy hunter.
The news is that Miss Tanya wanted to keep a bee. The two lives intersect.
"If there's anything I can do to help, I'd love to."
I'll report to Mrs. Yuika when I get back. We'll have a new couple in the village.
What I'm working on right now is improving the productivity of the village.
Improving your productivity will give you more room for life.
Increasing the population with that margin creates a circle in which the workforce increases and productivity improves.
It's an important plan to make my dreams come true.
Well, even if I put it aside, it's purely fun to support these two.
"I'd like to have a quick discussion with Tanya, Mr. Van."
Mr Van leans his neck slightly illuminated.
"It's okay. For Tanya, the knowledgeable van of the forest will be an important ally. He is a fine partner working together in the woods. This is a community of destiny."
I also know Miss Tanya's inner feelings, so I dare say too much.
"Besides, Tanya is really worried about going into the woods alone. Mrs Yuika wants Mr Ban to act with Mr Tanya as much as possible. Beekeeping for the development of the village, so I want to take care of it."
I haven't talked to Mrs. Yuika yet, but I'll talk to her later so there's no problem.
Mr Van and Miss Tanya have a cause to live with, so I want you to come with me now.
