Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

Late autumn, when the harvest in the village of Ajol was over, I slipped into a pre-harvest visit.

I stayed up all night the day before, so it was very difficult to travel by riding. Death due to a horse fall from a dormant sleep is left untouched in the boulder.

When I arrived in the village with a bite to death, there was a cheerful smiling lady and the villagers lined up.

It's a childish atmosphere, knowing my parents can pay for it.

"I've been expecting you, Ash! You're here to check the fields!

We stayed up all night to check the condition of the fields they took care of before harvesting.

The harvest from the field goes up to the village table in the form of food support, so it is no doubt similar to receiving a penny.

"Let's go and see! I want you to see it!

At least I wanted to drink about a glass of white water, but I nodded with a smile when I couldn't help it.

Shall I? It would be convenient for you to harvest. "

It's true that the fields are bothering me, so let's split this up with another hard work.

"I see! Okay, come this way!

I look back at Glenn, who is following me when she looks at her cheerful gesture.

Didn't you say it was going to be really hard?

With a distrustful glance, Glenn shakes his head and denies it, then shrugs his shoulders and tells him that he himself was unexpected.

Apparently, Miss Squirrel has recovered super quickly. If you think about the cause, there is only one.

"Look, Mr. Ash, that's right!

The bright voice of Lady Sweetie pointed to a field where the wheat hoe shakes in an orderly manner.

It's not as much as the ho waves, and it looks slightly shorter. However, given the situation before summer farming, it can be said that it has progressed from a wasteland to a splendid field.

With the harvest at hand, the hardship blew up and it seemed to be a welcome mood.

Rather than being energetic, let's express our feelings as if they were full of cash.

While I exhale gently, I cannot help but be satisfied with the field in front of me.

Hmm, that's better than I thought.

When I murmur, Miss Sweet Lotus chests at me.

"That's right! I've never seen a field like this before...! Anyway, I'm impressed!

She held her small hand and stared at me with her wet eyes, lowering her head vigorously.

"Thank you! This is all thanks to Ash!

"No, the technology used in agriculture is the work of the Institute, and the food you were eating in the meantime could not be prepared without the Lord's budget. Because the plan is created by the same team in the promotion room."

It is troublesome to be thanked by me alone.

But if you're going to say thank you, let's study hard enough for that.

"Now, let's all learn what's wrong with this harvest."

Huh?

Miss Sweetie's eyes were sparkling with emotion.

Keep your eyes wide open and confirm. I quickly approach the stubborn wheat I see.

"This is... yeah, it's the wrong way to sow the seeds. If you don't plant the crop at the right intervals, you'll get in the way of each other and you won't grow as you want. That's why you can't get out of seeding."

Miss Sweetie and some of the villagers hurried towards me.

"If you were sowing, these places would come out. If you realize that you need to be careful, that's enough. And then, if you notice that it's dense when it sprouts, you can deal with it by slightly reducing it."

Remember, when you laugh, the villagers' stupid faces move up and down.

Honest and good.

"Next up... this is where there was a problem with fertilizer. Since the time the wheat was blue, the leaves had been cooked with compost. Perhaps the fertilizer was gathered here in a biased way."

The villagers' expressions finally realized that they had been pointed out as failures, and became steep.

"I told you when I taught you how to apply fertilizer, it's important to add or remove fertilizer. It may be difficult, but please be sure to take the right amount. If you're worried, try to be a little less and you won't get hurt."

Since there are no problems elsewhere, it seems that the amount of fertilizer applied is not wrong as instructed.

It is reassuring.

"If you are unsure about how to apply fertilizer, ask again next time. Even if you can teach each other, of course."

When I turned my feet to the next stubborn spot, Miss Suylene, who was stuck right behind me, shouted out loudly.

"Ah, did Ash-san... know in advance where the problem was...?

"Yes, I think I was generally aware of the anomalies I saw in advance."

That's why I came here about a month to teach.

As an old daughter, she shows a row of short wheat to a lady with her mouth wide open.

"That's true here, too. The soil here has been a little stiff since before seeding. If I hadn't crushed the soil a little more carefully, it would have been a tough soil for the wheat."

"Yes, before you sow the seeds! Then tell me!

"That's right. If I had told you, the harvest would have increased a little bit."

I also throw away the welcome color of the first joyful color, and nod to Miss Suylene who blames her face brightly red.

"Instead, you couldn't have known what would happen so easily?

I stroke a short, light wheat.

I don't think I've done anything pathetic to this child. As a farmer, I even feel guilty.

"You now have plenty of room to learn what happens when you fail, even if you look at a few missteps. I have food support from the lord for the agricultural test."

"That might be true! That's why I'm not saying it's enough!

Villagers who knew that there had been fewer dinners lined up at the table stared at Lady Sweelen with a rough voice.

"In other words, you can't waste a single grain of wheat right now."

"Of course not! We're desperate because we have to eat or we can't live!

If they waste their wheat, they think it's a waste.

If there's a gap, it's a great killer who just can't hit me in the face.

I think you should do the field work with this kind of feeling.

I smile with satisfaction at Ajol Village's motivation.

"Now, as you said, please do your next agricultural work desperately. They say they're desperate, so if they make the same mistake, they'll really encourage us to die."

I'm glad we can expect more next harvest.

That said, the enthusiasm of anger that had been unleashed from the people of Ajol suddenly subsided.

It feels too relaxed and blown away.

"Eh? Um... now we know that Ash-san didn't tell us..."

"Yes, you must have been angry with yourself for not being able to harvest enough wheat?

I had eight hits on me, but I'll miss it.

"Is that it? No, that's not it...."

Anyway, I'm not going to be so angry with you guys, so don't worry.

So shut up.

All right?

After discussing it with a gaze, Miss Sweetie blushed her face and pressed her mouth, so I kept smiling.

"When I taught you how to sow seeds and how to tell the condition of leaves, I taught you this. This time, I was able to observe carefully with the pain of harvest reduction, so it will be strongly engraved in my memory as an example of failure."

I mean, you're desperate to live.

If you're ready to die, you'll remember it.

With my eyes equipped with ten tons of trust, I look closely at the face of Ajol Village and put pressure on each of them.

Then, sigh and drop your shoulders.

"The truth is, I wanted to let you know that there's a problem. I am also a farmer in Cold Village, so I know very well that I don't want to waste even a single grain of wheat. That's why I wanted you to realize it with your help. This is agricultural guidance, so I need you to empower me, not show me what I can do."

I mean, it wasn't anybody else, it was you.

It's really a basic issue, and I've explained it a few times.

I don't mean to be imperfect without any mistakes, but I want you to be depressed by what we overlooked.

"But there was a time when I was patient and silent. Everyone noticed their failure and felt angry about it. This will help us deal with the same problem the next time."

When I pressed it carefully, Miss Sweet Len nodded as if she was reluctant.

"Wow, I see. I'll be careful...."

There seems to be some dissatisfaction, but it seems that we understand that we will lose if we do not be careful ourselves.

Let's change it to something a little sweeter and throw it.

"Everyone will fail, so if you notice an anomaly, please speak up. If you think you'll get food for that, it can be a hassle, right?

I saw a nod with a somewhat favourable expression.

Failure does not seem to be ours, but the idea that even a single grain of wheat is valuable seems to be gaining ground.

If they had thought the same about the wheat supplied from the village of Adele, they would not have fallen so far.

Thank you, Ajol Village's consciousness reform seems to be more difficult than agricultural reform.

This time, the hell in which we set foot will force us deeper and farther into it.
