Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

There were many vacant houses in the village of Ajol, to say the least.

For a moment, the Expeditionary Corps was delighted to stretch out their arms and legs and relax on the roofed floor, and they were squeezing their expression in wonder if the village would be okay.

Of course, it can't be okay.

I instruct expeditionaries who are well aware of the situation to set aside a place to stay and assemble once they have unloaded their personal baggage.

In the absence of Miss Mayka, I will be chief executive officer.

Besides, as for the soldiers who are the backbone of the expedition, I, Sir George's aide, will be the most senior commander on the ground, so you will follow me as you are used to it.

The grandmother and grandma who listens to these children honestly ask about the practice of the border clan.

Military Children's Associations provide education to stand above people, but this is evidence that the education method is excellent.

Because there are many senior officers who are educated and behave properly in the military junior council, they can quickly adapt to other senior officers.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, let's organize the stockpile of food that we brought for distribution. The village will need it right away."

From the same person, there will be an understanding reply that it is true after all.

"And be sure to keep an eye on the food."

I will tell the villagers who are looking at us from the shadows with a loud voice.

"Of course, it's the food I brought here to distribute, so I'm not bothered to take it."

It's a lie. It would be very troublesome if they took it on their own.

Definitely among the villagers, it would be a fuss that whoever took a lot of it was unfair.

It would be nice if it were just a mouth, but with the current food situation in the village, it would quickly escalate to violence.

It is our job to suppress it.

I'm sorry for the trouble.

"Some may have been damaged during transport. There are a lot of other things that you should eat by heating up properly, so we'll cook and cook them out for a while. Tell those who ask for food to distribute it properly and fairly, and wait."

Above all, you should not let hunger consume large amounts of food at once.

Human digestive absorption is superior compared to other mammals, which also means that fuel consumption is poor.

If they don't digest it on a well-managed schedule, I don't know if they've brought it much.

"All right, everyone, let's get started."

The rest of the detail is very easy because the veterans will do it for you.

The veterans of the Georges team are familiar with the contents of the food reserve, so they are in charge of organizing, and the patrols in charge of this district have met the villagers, so it seems that they decided to be mainly in charge of the guard.

Without saying anything, they will check the condition and rearrange the shelf life in order of suspicion, and we will call the villagers who are hearing from the shadows and ask them to publicize it.

I want to be very proud of this superior.

When I was considering adding your personnel appraisal to the report I would give you after this expedition, a Miss Mayka came to greet the village chief.

I was accompanied by Miss Sweet Len.

Oh, you're early.

"Yes, Mr. Village Chief, I'm not feeling very well... Ash-kun is the speed of the boulder."

"The sooner the food was distributed, the better. May I check the current number of villagers?

When I looked at Miss Sweetie, I gave her something that looked like a scream and started to panic very much.

No, Ash-kun.

Miss Micah stopped me.

Is it no good?

"Ash-kun's movements are too fast, so I told Renge I shouldn't suddenly wave to someone I'm not used to, right?

Speaking of which, did you say so?

But wasn't that some kind of joke?

After all, the expeditionaries will follow me like this.

"Don't forget. Everyone in the Expeditionary Corps has always been close, so I've been very well trained in this short period of time....."

"No, you've all been good from the beginning.

"That's right. I'm surprised to be able to talk about Ash-kun's movements in this short time on the expedition."

Miss Micah is moaning as if she were a bad apprentice.

Then one of the patrolmen, who was just passing by, smiled proudly and mixed up in the conversation.

"I've taught the Georges a lot. Well, mixed units are usually troublesome when things get rough, but this time it's been helpful."

Hahaha, your grandmother walks away laughing.

Miss Micah saw it with her eyes.

I feel like I'm in some kind of bad shape.

Well, it's probably my fault.

Besides, how many villagers are there? I would like to calculate how many days of the food I brought in, and start the rationing with a cookout from today's dinner. If we know the state of the food in the village, we'll make a plan with that in mind. "

"What? Huh? Ah, well, Mika-san, how do I answer that?"

"Yes, of course, if the villagers can plan the food distribution, I'll take care of it. In doing so, there are some areas where we need to be careful about the condition of this food, so I'd like to ask you to explain a few things."

"Wait, you know, Mika-san!? Micah!?

"Oh, no, this is not good. This is Ash-kun with the switch on. When did you get this?"

It took me a while to get the information I needed from Miss Sweetie.

As a result, the current village of Ajol cannot afford to plan and implement food rations, so it was decided to plan and implement the plan in the expedition.

Nevertheless, due to the nature of stockpiled food, the only dish you can cook is pots and pans.

Heat it anyway, mix it anyway, dilute the taste with water, and mix the herbs to deceive you.

That's the only way.

So, nothing is difficult to implement.

It is difficult to calculate the optimal distribution of the food now in the village until the next harvest.

Currently, only the village chief can do such advanced things in this village. And the village chief was in a sick bed, and Miss Sweelen lowered her head in an unfortunate manner.

"I'm really sorry I had to rely on that, too."

"Don't hesitate. Can you show me the village pantry? The purpose of this visit is also to check the surrounding area, so I will make a food distribution plan after checking the current situation."

One of them is very difficult, so Miss Mayka and some of them from the Georges team pull out for this business. Glenn put it in there.

With regard to mental labor, Glenn is still in training, so I thought he might want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain experience.

I'll just tell you what to do, so I'll skip explaining to Miss Sweetie who's watching.

The contents of the pantry were as few as I expected, so I was able to finish quickly.

Since this is not a good thing, future concerns will only increase slightly.

"In the meantime, I got some food from the village of Adele, so I guess I'll be able to keep it from starving until autumn."

"Really! Wow, I can't believe I just checked this out!

Miss Sweetie brightens her eyes, but the news is not so good.

It is only "extreme hunger free" and is plagued by hunger. Even so, if the food is no less scarce and the rations are protected.

I want more spare food.

"I can't see dried meat, but is there a hunter?

"Yeah, he died years ago."

There is a shortage of heirs everywhere. It is a waste to have a forest nearby.

And dangerous.

So, the beast is coming out of the forest and the fields are being wasted too much?

"No? I didn't hear that."

"What?

For the beast, the field is a very convenient feeding ground.

In the wild, food that cannot be found unless searched around is scattered in one place. Besides, it tastes better than wildlife.

When they learn where the fields are, they also have the audacity to lead the clan party to eat free rice.

One of the roles of the hunter is to prevent it.

Before the beast approaches the village, trap and block the path of the beast that leads to the village. Regardless of the hunting age, hunters are also anti-animal police officers in a society where farming has taken root.

In my home village of Noscura, Mr Ban was responsible for it.

It is a miracle that the beast does not come to the village in the absence of the police officer.

"You said you passed away years ago. And ever since?"

"I think so. I've never heard such a beast come."

And from my experience, miracles don't roll so conveniently in this world.

Without the hunters at the top of the food chain, the total number of beasts is increasing.

Not a year, but a few years. It is too unnatural for it not to come to the defenseless fields.

--By the way, the villages of Adele and Ajol are close.

According to the map, he is a neighbor who crosses a hedge called the forest.

And in the village of Adele, there was a terrible beast damage last year.

... it's hard to say, but isn't there a cause for the animal harm that happened in Adele Village?

I can't let Miss Sweet Len know about this, so I secretly consult with Miss Micah.

"I don't know for sure, but if Ash-kun, who was a hunter at Van's, said, it's likely. I think it's strange that beasts don't come to the field."

"Isn't that right? However, I can't explain why I didn't come to Adele Village and not to Ajol Village."

"Yeah, because the field over there is bigger?

I don't think beasts have the idea of targeting from a large field.

I don't know if it's a fantasy ecological monster.

"In the meantime, I'm going to go see the forest tomorrow. Are you sure, department manager?"

"I see. However, you are not allowed to act alone. Be sure to take your companion with you. That's the condition, right?

Well then, let's have Glenn come. [M]

During the camp training, I also taught a little about the technology around it, so I know a little about my movements.

After a light meeting, I look around the neighborhood and exhale.

"Nevertheless... it is difficult to manage the territory that the village of Adele may need sound management in order to maintain the village's productivity."

"Oh, I see. Well, I didn't think of that idea. But it certainly is."

As I murmured, Miss Micah nodded eagerly, feeling sorry for herself.

It's not just that we should give preference to places with high production volumes.

At first glance, a location that appears to be underperforming may actually support profits at a different location.

Not that this is the case, but the advantage of being able to manage the forest separately in Adele and Ajol villages definitely exists.

Even if one side is unable to turn due to bad luck, a certain amount of assistance can be expected from the other side.

"It's dangerous to move things forward rapidly. If you don't think about it properly and do a little experiment, you'll make a terrible mistake."

"Yeah, it's okay, Ash-kun. I'll do my best not to do that!

Mayka makes a fist with a serious face.

I am somewhat aware that I am working on things quickly, but do you need that kind of vigour to stop me?
