Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

I think it would be good if it were an apocalyptic scenario or a researcher.

I don't know, I have a lot of feelings about SF words that came out of nowhere, or I think the word "researcher" came out of conversation with Father Volke.

Around when I heard the administrator function and the announcement, I thought that if I was a little bit, it would be a bit like a previous life.

Honestly, it's pretty much there.

I do, but I'm too busy for that.

The document tower built on my desk in the Territorial Reform Promotion Office is transformed into a high-rise architecture that is persuasive enough to express a busy schedule.

And this paperwork tower is still growing.

Documentary towers for the werewolf battle in the fortress will not increase rapidly, but there will be more and more documents towers for another job, dealing with massive refugee outbreaks in the territory of Viscount Yasoga.

It's only been two weeks since the werewolf battle in the fortress.

Refugees came yesterday and today, and they will come tomorrow and the day after. The Documents Tower must be a violation of architectural law, and it will definitely show us plenty of additional buildings.

No one wants to see such a skyscraper.

Although Sakura Border Territory has grown remarkably in recent years, the allowable amount has already been exhausted.

In material terms, there is still some room.

However, if the neighbor is either half-destructed or badly damaged, there will be no shortage ahead.

And more pressing and problematic than that is the problem of processing capacity.

Accept the affected refugees.

In words, it's easy.

However, each refugee is a living human being.

The Chamber of Commerce cannot control the storage of purchased goods in a warehouse.

A man who flees in his clothes desires a change of clothes.

Even those who do not complain about their clothes seek shelter with roofs and walls on rainy days.

Even if you can endure both, you won't be able to endure the lack of food.

From the standpoint of policing and hygiene management, we on the receiving side must respond to such refugee appeals.

Few personalities can remain clean even in distress, and even innocent people can't escape the biological phenomenon of corruption if they die.

Now, let's distribute clothes, arrange housing, and prepare food for each refugee who comes in.

There's a problem here.

One of them is that you don't get it for free, and you don't have a lot of surplus on hand.

Where and how do I get it?

Next, how do you distribute it? A large number of refugees - they are exhausted by the threat to their lives, and it is difficult to say that they are ordinary hearts.

Moreover, there are limits to supplies, and it is clear that there will be shortages in the future. The minimum required amount must be calculated and paid in a planned manner.

This is an impossible problem.

The situation currently facing Sakura Border Civilians and Military Officers is such a dangerous, delicate, complex and crying problem.

Even in the Reichstag, which boasts a large number of talented people, it waits as long as its business is on fire.

In general, there is no department to deal with this situation. The absence of a department means that there is no manual and no one with the necessary authority.

In a society where the destruction of villages and cities by monsters was common until a hundred years ago, what about that?

I think so, but at the current level of civilization, we can't afford to be prepared for the devastation of one region at a time.

Rather than accepting refugees, it would be a response to banditry.

I am a virtuous, merciful human being, so I can't suddenly imagine a bloody choice.

Basically, if a population is destroyed in one region, that means that civilization is degraded in one region. I will not allow such a waste of imitation.

Because of this, our Territorial Reform Promotion Office is now the gear for solving this problem.

Fortunately, I am not an amateur at all because I have considerable experience in the Ajol village.

From last year's production report, I put together a report that calculates where and how many refugees can be allocated in other cities in the territory and hit the processed document tower.

This paper tower is sadly low.

As I looked up at the paper tower, a fellow Shuraba came open the door.

"Ah, um, Ash-san, I have a new report..."

It was Miss Lenge who called carefully. It seems that due to the poor tone of teeth, there are reports of more jobs.

Beyond the document tower built on the desk, a grieving face of Miss Renge is peeked at with three blends of apologies, anxiety and worry.

I can't say that I am able to work as a supervisor if I let my subordinates look like that.

I exhale and then smile bitterly.

"Please, Mr. Renge. Please don't hesitate to report it because you won't be able to clean it up without asking."

"Ha, yes... well, the refugees are coming to the Fortress of the Ferrous Birds for protection again..."

Two hundred or so, Miss Renge looks up to me like a child who did a bad thing.

I decided to honestly express my feelings and be sweet to her, as she couldn't hide my uncomfortable feelings.

"Will it increase again...? That brings the total number of refugees to over 3,000. The acceptance of the territorial capital seems to exceed its limits....."

Currently, there are more than 2,000 people living in refugee settlements that have been rushed outside the city walls of the territorial capital.

Incidentally, the population of Sacramento's territorial capital is originally divided by 13,000, which is a calculation that shows a sudden increase in the number of inhabitants by about one-sixth of the normal time.

It is good to think that the family income of six people suddenly increased by one person from today to seven people. Cleaning, washing, preparing meals, all calculations go crazy.

That happens on 2,000 times the scale. There's no way the circulation of the city won't flash.

I have tried to assign some refugees to other cities, but I have had more difficulty accepting them than the territorial capital.

Since there are fewer civilians and military officers than the central territorial capital of politics, there is no other way. We will have to wait for more refugees to be sent to other cities.

Can we send a small number of refugees to a village or town, divided into 10 people, rather than a city?

I think for a moment and reach out to the map near the fortress.

"And, um... with today's report from the refugee district..."

Further reports that the hand reached on the map also stops.

I turned my hand back on the map and held my forehead.

"Have you grown again....."

"There were about fifty more of them...."

The refugees are all fleeing desperately, so when they flee to the Sacramento border area, they don't have to leave their families and relatives.

Safe for now, and reassured that they don't have to worry about their lives here, they voluntarily start moving in search of a deeper liquid connection than water.

Currently, the territorial capital hosts nearly 70% of refugees, so nature and its relatives gather.

As a result, the number of people living in refugee areas is increasing, as every day, even though they can no longer afford to accept it.

"I also thought about the future, and now I've assigned it to each city to reduce the burden on the territorial capital....."

With more people, plans can easily fail.

As I bite into the insanity, I grab the report I just hit on the top of the processed document tower again.

"Today's 50 or so people will still manage, but at this rate, they will collapse from the territorial capital, which has the most acceptable capacity."

"That's right. I'm telling you it's no good because I can't handle it, but there are about 200 more people without permission...."

"If there is an unplanned 10% increase in the number of boulders, so is the stockpile of food and the distribution system. How about you?

Ah, yes.

Miss Renge nods over the documents at hand.

"According to a report from Squirrel, the distribution system itself incorporates refugees sequentially, so I'll show you around. Assuming that the number of foodstuffs will increase to about twice what it is now, we will do it with stockpiles until winter, so please make arrangements afterwards."

What a reliable report.

Today's report is the only one that doesn't cause a headache.

Really? You're working very hard, Mr. Swiren. "

When I first met you, I felt like I was arrogant and watching my child grow up.

Instead of forgetting how to manage the food taught in the lonely cold village, she seems to be adapting to a much larger situation.

She is well equipped to help others.

"But we can't deal with the lack of food on our own in the Sacramento area anymore."

"Yes... The overall production in the Territory is definitely rising, but I was unable to cope with this."

"It's the destruction of one territory."

I'm sure we made a border alliance in anticipation of this, but I didn't think we'd need it so soon.

"There were food and other support visits in the Alliance, especially from nearby territories, so if we keep them for the winter, we'll be able to get them in time. Please tell that to Ms. Suylen. Transportation is difficult....."

If the Alliance had gone a little further, the production of each territory might have increased, and the transportation network would have been in place, but it's still barely working.

Still, because we have an alliance, and more than that, because the Sakura Border Territories won't be foolish enough to affect the surrounding territories, most of the Border Alliances will help us as much as possible.

I'm sorry I couldn't be a little more efficient.

"But it's not a matter of a year or two. It's a huge burden to be able to handle only within the Border Alliance."

I'd like to squeeze that area out of the nobility's pocket.

We're in the same kingdom, so it's our duty to cooperate.

If you don't help me, I'm not one of you. If you're not one of us, you're an enemy. If you're an enemy, you can do something you can't do with your friends, right?

Well, how to extract aid from the center is a request from Lord Gentow and Miss Alicia in King's Landing, so I'll leave it for now.

"It's a question of how many refugees will be there after this."

This depends on the damage situation in Viscount Yasoga's territory, so you won't be able to make a decision unless you look over there.

As it stands, I have heard that the western and southern half of Viscount Yasoga's territory is devastating, but it is unclear what the eastern and northern half is like.

This will dramatically change the number of refugees, and I want to know how many people are still alive, even in the southern half.

The work is still messy, but maybe we should send a scout out there once.

I'll talk to Mr. Itsuki.

"Reconnaissance? In Countess Yasoga's territory?

Mr. Itsuki, who looked the same as him during the winter hellish season, answered with a careless voice.

It is the overwork professionals who make sure that they are tired and still need it.

"Yes, I want information to help me anticipate how many refugees I will be hosting in the future."

For the reasons I mentioned, it seems that Mr. Itsuki suffered a headache when he was reminded of the fact that there are still more refugees.

"Really... No, I guess not. Destruction of one territory. It doesn't end with a thousand or 2,000."

Mr. Itsuki is convinced and then bloody spits out, which exhales a deep sigh.

Although the total population of the world is unclear, there are about 10,000 people living in one of the peripheral cities, the surrounding villages and towns are about 5,000, and the entire Sakura peripheral territory is not reached by 100,000 people.

Pretty little, but I need defensive equipment to fight monsters, so there's a cap on the total population.

The total population of Viscount Yasoga is estimated to be between 30,000 and 80,000.

The upper and lower widths are due to the fact that the recent Vicomte de Yasoga did not operate properly, so there are problems with judgment materials such as tax revenues themselves.

Whether there are many or few cases, how many of them are likely to become refugees will be involved in Sakura's future operations.

"I totally agree with you, but the number of refugees that occur doesn't change without confirmation. The disadvantages don't change without confirming, but you can do it."

By checking the damage situation, we can not only increase the accuracy of preparedness for refugee reception, but also consider, for example, what the proposed restoration will look like.

The Sakura Border Family is not in charge of restoring Yasoga, so there is no need to think so far, but it is not human resources at a time when many refugees are being hosted.

Even in terms of location, Yasoga's success or failure to recover will have various effects on us.

If we study hard and compile the report, we may be able to create a good relationship with the new Lord Yasoga.

"In particular, I would definitely like to proceed in that direction on the last point. I've never been closer to my neighbor."

I wish I were a civilized man who would return favors as much as I do.

If you don't understand the discussion, you can make a loan first and mount it to get along.

Either way, you can get an advantageous hand.

"Uh-huh, you're always good at pushing the troublesome side, Ash."

"We want a commensurate return more than trouble."

"I agree. All right, make a scout. Can I take care of it?

"I can't say no more than my boss works with that look."

To be honest, I feel like I have too much work to do, but I don't feel physically bitter because of my improved physical abilities in the Wolf War.

Within the Consulate, which is attacking the limit line commensurate with each person's health, it is not obvious that I work a lot without worrying about getting sick.

"Oh, yes, Izuki. So why don't you set up the department responsible for this situation?

"Department? New?

When I say it, Mr Itsuki leans his head.

"Currently, the Office for the Promotion of Territorial Reform is the focus."

"The propulsion room, or you were the commander of the fortress."

Oh, is that so?

To my astonishment, Mr. Itsuki was invited to laugh a little.

"During the Fortress Commander's post-war processing, the refugees were dealt with as a matter of course, so I am aware that you are carrying them to the Propulsion Room. Maybe the others, too.

"I knew there was a case in the village of Ajol, so the bowl just came around the propulsion room."

"Oh, actually, it would have been the right department. There's nothing else I can do. That's why nobody complains."

Even with Mr. Itsuki's perception, it seems that at the end of the road, the promotion office was in charge.

Then the order doesn't matter.

"I was kind of surprised... anyway, I'm doing it in the propulsion room now, but it's not a propulsion room job in the first place."

"Hmm, I wonder if it's out of order. However, I don't think there are any other people who can handle this task even if it is newly set up....."

"It's already moving, so you can choose personnel from the propulsion room. However, since it is a project separate from the work of the Promotion Office, it is a bad precedent when it comes to plans and decisions that go too far from the purpose."

In this case, we have spoken out about the supply of stockpiles and population movements within the territory. In the Territorial Reform Promotion Office, this is a scope that cannot be achieved without multiple permits.

"That's true because it's an emergency, but with precedents as a shield, the Territory Reform Promotion Office has the authority to give instructions on population movements. If someone shows up, we'll be in trouble later."

"Speaking of which, there was an incident where someone in the Intelligence Department expanded their interpretation of HR rights to include people from other territories."

"Did you find that helpful?

In that case, I think we have forged a more friendly relationship with the Vladimir SKNA.

I opened my chest and asked for help.

In return for my confidence, Mr. Itsuki shrugs his shoulders.

"Well, there's a question of how trustworthy the person who will succeed you in the future is. Okay, this is the department dealing with the situation. Do you have a plan?

"Shouldn't this be a simple emergency room? Members asked if the planner would be Renge and the work manager would be Suylene."

So, Mr. Itsuki nods casually to choose his lunch recommendations.

However, I did not forget to hold myself accountable for what I said.

Ash is the head of the office.

Well, I was ready for that.

Like the propulsion room, I think it would be better to have Micah as manager, but Micah is also busy, so I can't say luxury.

Mayka, who is good at force, wants to join a reconnaissance unit to the territory of Vicomte Yasoga, and also to use her status as the grandson of the current lord to ask for diplomacy. Both are out-of-the-box jobs.

In other words, I am better placed to make a variety of decisions and take responsibility.

"By the way... how many titles do I currently have?

"A lot."

What does it mean that the person in charge appointed is not willing to count?
