Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 686: The Unwillful Saying of a Complete Plan

The next day took the whole day as a holiday.

Kilik and Gorgogo have been hungover since breakfast, because Sarah seemed to be sleepless for some reason and repeatedly lacking, and was not likely to be at work.

It's a seperate thing to do, and it's not a bad idea to set up a holiday.

"I don't have anything to do, though."

Anyway, there's not much entertainment in this world that ordinary people can enjoy.

Precisely what I mean by entertainment.

"Um... and you don't have a job today?

The three pairs of kids in red and black tea who are still packing in the mansion today ask me worryingly.

Really? These guys pay a day, so if you take a day off, you won't be able to eat.

I was a little under-considered.

"Right. I have nothing to tell you from here, but there may be some news coming. Keep it in the mansion for that time. Naturally, I'll pay for it."

And when I told him, he showed a blatant relief.

I'll think of it and ask.

"Speaking of which, what are the kids doing and playing at church?

I used to see the kids playing when I visited the church, but I didn't really know the rules.

"Oh, we're not kids, so we're not playing!

The brunette, a boy named Colo, answered in a murky manner.

He subtly inspired the boy's pride.

"Of course, you will. I wonder what younger brothers and sisters are playing with."

"Uh, um. I don't know about my sister, but she's climbing trees, digging holes, catching bugs, throwing sticks."

The type of play that comes from a small mouth is no different from the children of the original world.

"My sisters have dolls and balls."

A brown-haired child adds.

"I see."

If the environment is similar, is it something that similar play develops?

Interesting topic for folklore, but a little short for adults to play with.

"You're right, you're obsessed with target."

Targeted games using cane throwers (staff slings) introduced for improved base defense and stress relief and recreation at the shoe factory exploded from adult to child among the craftsmen.

Ruled, somatosensory games such as the use of tools, strict time limits and scoring systems would have been fresh for ordinary people.

Should the same game be popular in this village?

Consider it for a moment and dismiss it.

It doesn't look like a bad idea to raise force throughout the village to improve the defense of the territory.

But in this village there is emotional isolation and conflict between the original villagers and the earning peasants.

Leaving it unattended and only raising force is the source of the conflict.

Stones thrown by cane throwers are as ineffective on fast-moving monsters as demon wolves, and monsters are being driven out of the perimeter of the territory these days with the activity of adventurers in the first place.

"Do you ever play with the kids in the village?

It is often the case that children are different, even if they are isolated from adults.

But the response from the threesome was not a good one.

"Um, I don't play at all, so I don't know, hey, no, I don't know,"

"You know, they're kind of dark."

I see.

From the world of children, is there a structure of conflict?

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"... so I'm going to build a park as a children's playground"

"Park?"

When consulted at the dinner table, everyone looked strange at the unheard concept of a park.

"I mean, it's a square. Set up playthings there to create a dedicated place for the kids to play"

To give an additional explanation, Paperino raised his hand.

"Shouldn't it be in the square? For once, in front of the Lords' Mansion, that's the place."

"No, there won't be a place in front of the mansion anymore. In addition to herbs and beans, we built a chicken coop."

When I looked at Sarah as I answered, I saw her snort forcefully.

I feel a strong will not to let that garden touch my hand.

"Why do you make that in the first place? Let the kid go, he'll be playing there."

Kirik's answer is not nothing short of flirtatious.

That would be the normal perception.

"For once, there are three purposes."

Explain the purpose I've been thinking about over an afternoon with three fingers up.

"The first is to increase the efficiency of farming. Parents can work safely if they gather children who cannot work in one place and let them play. You should be able to work without having to worry about accidents like going out of the village or falling into the river from the gap of the fence in the gap you took your eyes off."

"Right. Little ones can be really dangerous."

Sarah agrees.

"The second is employment measures. Ask the women of the peasants to take care of the children as a job. I'll pay you here. In the future, this territory will be interested in the flour-making industry, and there will be more movement of people through the harbour. We will also need more workers than we do now. In doing so, it makes sense that there is a place for small children to play in peace because they don't have to worry about working."

"Well, in short, are you worried about people or something?"

As a policeman, Kilik suggests a possible crime.

"Right. And maybe if we had a mill, we could get women to work."

In the original world, there is an image of many women working in food factories.

I guess there is also a wage relationship, but I have the impression that women will follow the rules more closely if they educate themselves properly about hygiene concepts, etc.

That's why I want women to work for me in the future.

"The third is to fill the gulf between the traditional villagers and the earning peasants. I'm not going to say idealism that if kids get along with each other, so do parents, but they'll also have more opportunities to talk to each other while they're face-to-face. If we become familiar with each other, serious conflicts are less likely to arise. In the future, being familiar with each other's children should have a good impact on the village"

"Right. Traditionally, church assemblies should serve to bring villagers together, but we have not been able to do so now. All children are children of God. I think it's an honorable business."

From the point of view of his priesthood, Paperino seems to agree.

As far as I'm concerned, it's about taking into account the economic perspective and the future image of governance, so when they say that, it's obvious.

"Well, if that's the case, I'll find time to make it. You already have an idea of what you're going to make?

Gorgogo slaps his chest and contracts.

It's a small investment to have a square and some play gear to function as a park.

Sometimes it would be easy to gather the children if you even served them a snack.

If you look at the kids coming together, you can get an idea of their nutritional status, or by checking out the house where they have kids but they don't come to visit, they can be an alert to get an idea of the family situation.

Perfect plan.

"Still, Kenji sounds really rational, doesn't he? You're worried about the kids, aren't you?

"No way."

"Absolutely."

Even so, they say it in an unwanted way.

Damn, it's a problem.
