Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

Millie's room was cleaned up beautifully and had a very girly interior.

Dry flowers hang on columns and populies line the shelves. A vial of oil poured into the shelf, very colorful. Is that aromatic oil?

"Huh... well, don't look... right?

"Kun-kun! Kun, kun, kun, kun! Kunka-kun!

"Uh-oh! Don't sniff!"

Millie's pushing "yep" on my abdomen.

Are you leaving? Let it be so. I'll sit you down.

And that's about it for the joke.

"That's a lovely room."

"Heh... Oh, I guess?

"Oh. Something feels like 'Millie's room'"

"Ah... Miri no hey, huh?

That's true, but as you can imagine, it means it's a room that doesn't live up to expectations.

Sounds like a middle school boy without a brother-in-law embodied a 'girl's room' that seems paranoid.

"Millie's hobby is making sweets, right?

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Ahhh... Ame balls, but"

Huh?

Millie doesn't live up to expectations.

Oh, I was here, real idol. There's a girl who's 'girl' in real life, not some fake profile written by the office for business.

"Millie's a girl,"

"Eh... Miri no, girl, huh?

Millie with the face that I'm not sure.

That's okay. That's okay. If Millie would just stay put.

"Yashiro. Come on, or I'll pick it out."

Next to Ginette arranging the dishes on the table, Estella turns a cold glance at me.

Hmm, picking muko and even the guy that seems difficult looks great.

"You want me to pick it back?

"Why do you keep saying that when you open your mouth!

'Cause you're shitting me, right now?

Look, I'm disciplined, okay?

"I'm ready. Come on, have it first. I made it with all my heart so that I could cheer up."

"Ah... no fragrance... I'll have it"

Sitting well behaved, don't forget to pray to the Spirit God, and Millie brings Ginette's special soup to your mouth.

"Mm-hmm... it tastes like a yang dust pavilion... yum..."

You were thrilled with the deliciousness, Millie snorts "dull".

"Um, are you okay? There's still plenty to eat, so take your time."

"Ugh... thank you, Jinnah. Mr. Terumi, even."

"Eat it. You're still busy after this, aren't you?

"Uh-huh. Well, I'll eat you."

Drink soup looking delicious and pick fried or sake flaked rice balls from chicken in between.

Ginette's guy, looks like he's got quite a few pieces.

We watched Millie eat deliciously, picking the right ones too.

Let's wait until Millie finishes her meal.

"Oh, yeah. This, from Magda."

"Uh, what?

I'll give you what I left from Magda before I left the Yangdu Pavilion.

"Ah, popcorn."

"Honey, it's popcorn"

"Ugh. Miri no, honey popcorn is my favorite. Salt and caramel are delicious, but honey is still the best"

Millie would.

I'm no longer like a relative of a flower fairy.

Open the bag and inhale the sweet scent all over your chest.

Huh - exhale all the time and Millie smiles happily ever after.

but that's unexpectedly cloudy.

Grab a bag of popcorn, lean down...... and zero the pounding and the words.

"So Ria... angry, I guess...?

Words that weren't directed at us, words that weren't addressed to anyone.

I guess I saw the popcorn and remembered it unexpectedly.

After muttering, Millie raised her face haphazardly, shaking her eyes anxiously.

Not to fix it, not to rinse it, just confused eyes not knowing what to do.

I thought I'd wait till Millie finished eating... except for when Millie can't eat because of anxiety.

And Estella seemed to have the same idea as me.

"Hey, Millie"

Estella speaks to me, and Millie's shoulder is powered.

"I wonder if you'll talk to me. Delia and what happened"

"Ah..............."

When we knew about Delia and Millie's argument, Millie would have understood too.

With a voice that seems to disappear, Millie leaks a word of affirmation.

"... ugh. Listen..."

Millie and Delia argue that Ginette witnessed it.

Even looking at the bare gestures worrying about Delia, Millie seems to regret that.

"By the woods, there's a big pond..."

"That's the big pond you're using to manage the forest. Behind the woods, you may not have seen Yashiro."

"Uhh... the water there is already much less..."

"There's an aqueduct in Oike that leads to the river, but the lower water level in the river stopped the water from flowing through the aqueduct. Mormat complained about the same thing."

To Millie's story, Estella adds an annotation, by the way.

When I heard that, I sorted out the information I was getting, and Ginette was just anxiously watching what happened.

"So... Miri doesn't always go to the river every day to get water... grab a large water bottle, go back and forth between the river and the forest, and water the flowers in the forest..."

Rivers and forests, quite a distance away.

You went back and forth there every day and watered those even wider forest flowers... then you'd be so busy that you didn't even have time to breathe.

"It's not all the plants in the woods, so I'm trying to figure it out... but if this keeps happening, Mr. Guild Leader or something, I might fall... I might..."

A force enters Millie's hand and popcorn leaks a dry sound.

"No, you've never seen a guild leader in a groundnut guild."

"He's a very sweet man. You're human, you're an old lady, but you're smart and you know how other people feel."

I admire it.

Millie is a man of full confidence. I'm sure the old lady is as fond of the painting as she is of it.

"Maybe I'd like to see you, hey"

"Huh... Huh!?

What the fuck?

Millie starts to look visibly wobbly about something when I see her.

"Ah, uh... hey, I don't mean it weird at all... Miri no, but when I introduce you to the boy... the... probably a lot of fuss, because Miri no, I haven't had a boyfriend or anything so far..."

Boyfriend!?

Oh, my God, that's... that's an old-fashioned name.

Only, I know it means normal friends, but the way they say boyfriend...... hey, that's nasty.

"When I say boyfriend, don't you have the Aliqui brothers?

"Ah... the neck and the chick... that, childhood tame... so"

You're not?

After all, is normal friends and boyfriends something subtly different about distance or something?

"Neck and Chick, because everyone in the groundnut guild knows very well... I don't think there's going to be any weird noise, and..."

If I were you, there would be some weird noise...

"Ah, but, hey, I'll introduce you... right?

"Ah, ah. Right... of which"

That, what is it?

Am I supposed to be introduced to Millie's parents? He's your boss at work, isn't he? Is that such a reclining thing...

"I want to see you once, too."

"Uh-huh. I'm sure Jinnai-san can get along. Chief Guild, he said he was a good man."

Yeah... what about me?

You're not even going to get along? 'Cause you're not a good guy?

Well, you're a good guy, but you never are.

"Oh, I'm sorry... so, uh... so I went to Ria for a favor"

Really, Millie talks back with a cute cough.

I went to consult Delia because the water pumping became a heavy labor and began to force me... probably something about the waterway.

"He wants the river surface to be higher than the waterway..."

"Um..."

In the middle of the conversation, Ginette raises her fearful hand.

"I don't know if it's common sense to ask this... is a waterway made in a place where river water doesn't pour in?

Seems to have questioned the fact that the river's surface has become lower than the waterway.

Why don't you keep the water flowing at all times?

"The waterway leads directly to the river. However, the inlet through which the water flows is located much higher than the bottom of the river."

"Why is that? If we keep it at the same height as the bottom of the river, wouldn't we be able to prevent this from happening in times of water scarcity?

Ginette's question is best.

But Ginette is really simple and overlooks something very important.

"Ginette. How many times have we ever had a water shortage?

"Huh? Uh... To my knowledge, I thought this would be my first year... ah"

"Yes. That's what I'm talking about, Ginette."

District 42 was plagued by water damage every year until last year.

The worse it was in the rainy season, the more massive amounts of water fell from District 29 each year, submerging everything in tandem with the rain.

"If I had aligned the inlet to the height of the river bottom, the annual water damage would be worse. It's easy to dig the dirt, but it's hard to fill the waterways you dug once."

Once dug back and buried, the soil becomes softer than the original.

If we continue to be exposed to rivers with heavy streams, like the rivers here, we will one day be decimated.

I would have the means to install a simple water gate or something... but I can't take that many thoughtful reforms this year because of a sudden water shortage.

Also, it's a rainy season, so we don't know when we're going to hit another heavy rain like last year.

I'm not kidding that I tried to deepen the waterway and it caused serious water damage.

"Besides, if we go deeper into the waterway, the water in the river will spill out for that matter, so we have to be careful."

If the water level in the river drops, it will have a negative effect on river fish.

Undoing a broken ecosystem once is extremely difficult. Poor hands should be avoided as much as possible.

"Really? I'm sorry, I gave you a short circuit opinion"

"No, you don't have to worry about that because that's the first thing everyone thinks about there. Because that's the kind of mouth Natalia pointed out to me."

Estella and Ginette are not that old apart. Then, even for Estella, water scarcity would be the first experience this year.

Lack of knowledge is nothing to be ashamed of. Because if you don't know, you just have to remember.

It is more embarrassing to leave ignorance unattended and not even to notice ignorance.

"So maybe Mr. Millie did the same thing?

"Ugh... but Miri doesn't want you to go deeper..."

So Millie's eyes swayed.

Small, Sacramento-like lips tied together cuddly.

You even remembered what Delia told you, Millie, and you still look like you're about to cry.

I manage to catch my tears and slowly put the time into words.

"Mr. Guild Leader wants to discuss with the other Guilds who use the waterway before deciding... I said... but Miri... the Guild Leader is going to fall... scared..."

Millie must have acted arbitrarily.

And I regret it.

"Miri no... So Ria would be so sweet, if I asked you in good faith, I would think you would understand..."

That I expected a 'privilege' to know him.

It seems to be an easy-to-use, fruit-bladed sword.

'An acquaintance' is why I have to be able to draw a clearer line than the rest of him.

If we're both professionals, hey, we can't get it done. That's more like it.

Ginette would be happy to make it if Millie asked her to "feed me dinner".

Okay, "The guild people are with me, three meals a day. Then what?" What if they told you?

Perhaps even with Ginette, that would be unacceptable and I would have to say no. Rather, it's something I have to say no to.

If you accept this' generosity 'as a natural' right ', your profits will be unilaterally consumed.

We must firmly understand that other people's 'generosity' is not free.

I'm 'getting it free' for something that's not free - and you should never forget that.

"... Miri no, so I told Ria... 'I need you to raise the water level because there's no water flowing through the waterway'"

Millie holds her fist.

As I condemn myself without forgiving myself then.

"... he wants the river temporarily stopped to raise the water level..."

"Stop the weir......?

Ginette alternates between me and Estella.

It was Estella who answered that gaze.

"Actually, that's what Maumatt was complaining about too... 'I don't want you to block it completely, I want you to stack rocks at the bottom of the river to temporarily curb the flow of the river'"

Build rocks under the river and narrow the river width.

That would reduce the amount of water flowing out into the sea, temporarily raising the water level in the middle abdomen... and that seems to be the suggestion.

But it's - it's the plan that pisses Delia off the most.

"Ugh... Miri didn't say the same thing... Then Ria got so angry... that she had never seen it before... she was scared..."

"Uh... but you're not totally blocking it, are you? That's temporary, too, which means you're gonna put it back on track someday, right?... Something wrong?

Well, Ginette might not know.

Millie, or maybe Estella, doesn't know.

Stopping the river from flowing means...

"Salmon won't be able to come home"

To my words, Ginette opened her eyes wide and Millie leaned down.

That reaction of Millie...... did Millie know? Or maybe that's what you talked about with Delia.

Anyway, I'll give you an explanation to make the situation easier to understand.

Ginette wants to know more, and she's got keen eyes on her.

"As I may have told you before, salmon is a fish that once goes out to sea and returns to the river. If you block the mouth of the river through which the salmon passes, the salmon won't be able to return."

Salmon in this city seem to come back all year round, and I guess there are still many salmon coming up the river.

"The fewer salmon you return, the fewer eggs you lay in the river. If the number of eggs decreases, the number of salmon itself decreases... well, that's the thing"

Salmon returns to the river where they were born.

If there are fewer salmon born in the rivers of District 42, there will also be fewer returns to District 42.

Worst case scenario, they could be gone.

"We can't block the estuary with no certainty as to how long. Delia would have thought so."

"... every day of every day, 'there's a salmon I couldn't even go home to today,' it hurts my heart"

Ginette imagines Delia's thoughts and shares the same suffering.

Delia likes salmon, but the likes just go beyond the boundaries of 'likes' and reach the realm of the special beings we grew up with from an early age on this river. There are many parts of me that seem that way when I look at Delia.

He swims with salmon every once in a while.

"Salmon is a fish all the way. Even if for some reason the estuary was blocked, he came all the way back to his hometown. Even if you hit your body on the bottom of the river and get scratched because of the extremely low water level, even if you run out of water and you're launched ashore, you keep going back toward the river where you were born."

The unplanned weir reduces the number of river creatures... what a common thing in the past. Exactly, that's no longer the case in modern Japan...

If you block the estuary unplanned in the 42nd arrondissement, something similar could happen.

"If salmon is a smart creature, and it's going to behave and trace the narrower estuaries back, it's easy to talk about."

Nature's creatures shouldn't do what they think they do.

"Millie and the others are desperate to take care of the flowers and trees in the woods, watch them as they make themselves clear, and hit their hands every once in a while... the same thing is happening in the river"

".................. ooh"

Millie's voice gets stuck in tears.

I'm not going to blame you... but it may not be a good idea to badly dishonor the story here.

"Even in disaster, man can survive because he has wisdom. Those who do not have it must be protected by man. You know what I mean?

"Ugh... Miri, I was so desperate, I could only see myself..."

"It's okay, Millie. We're all the same when we're desperate."

Estella touches her dripping Millie's hair.

Small tentacles shake and drip quietly.

"It's my job as a lord to steer those who are desperate and can only see before away from bumping into each other properly. From here on out, why don't you leave it to us?

Is that it?

Now I feel like I've been let in, too?

"Besides, Yashiro didn't mean to blame Millie."

"Uh-huh. I know that... because you're sweet..."

Millie turns her face this way, still slightly leaning over.

The big tempura hair ornament above my head shakes.

"Miri no, I think you gave me the courage to apologize... Miri no, I've always wanted to go apologize... but I can't..."

Apologizing to people means being brave.

It's not good mentally to pull off that trigger without grasping it.

Maybe Millie's tired is affected by such mental fatigue.

"Our brilliant employees have also prepared popcorn for Delia."

"... Maguchan?

"Ha. Loretta, you've been ruled out for 'excellence'."

"Ha!? Oh, no, huh? When I say popcorn, I don't know... ahhhh, they're hanging in there, huh?

Awwww and wandering Millie.

Yeah. This would be somewhat better than depressed.

"We're coming with you."

"... huh?

"Right. I was going to talk to Mr. Delia, and would you like to join Mr. Millie?

"If you're with us, will you have the courage to meet us?

Just a little more, let me extend my break and stop by the woods if I have to, but I'll get Millie to meet Delia.

My guess... Delia should care too.

When I first met him, he was creating a long-lasting atmosphere of lonely women's guilds that bind river fishing guilds, but lately he's been tightly rounded up and playing with someone or something.

He's got a lot on his face at the Yangdu Pavilion, and he's gone to Newtown to play with the hamsters and do it.

According to Bertina, he seems to be fluttering into church and helping with his strenuous work.

Delia is starting to tell people more about herself than before.

Help someone or sweeten them to someone. That's what I'm getting at.

But only this time... I haven't talked to anyone... or Estella.

So perhaps Delia is reflecting now.

I can't come to talk to you because I'm backward.

Perhaps there were plenty of delias, and they said something tough about Millie.

"Delia's got to be pretty close."

"Huh? You're mad, aren't you?

You're still shallow to read, Estella.

Delia likes salmon... but more than that, she loves the residents of District 42, especially us.

"Bye, Mr. Yashiro. Have a sweet treat and go comfort him."

Ginette might be more sensitive about the area.

Estella tends to judge things based on her position as a lord, her interests as an guild, her thoughts as the person in charge.

Ginette, on the other hand, is simply judging by "good, bad," "fun, hard," and "like, hate".

"This way you're sure to be happy," he says, a little optimistic, but focusing on the other person's mind and emotions to judge things.

I can do both, though.

'Making the target prey buy a product' or 'giving satisfaction by buying a product'.

Fraudsters are required to have the technology to provide both.

Profits and emotions can never be thought of separately.

"Mr. Yashiro."

Profitability out-of-the-box emotional supremacists come to grin.

"I want to bake you again."

... The scary thing about this guy is that he's unconsciously and maliciously following the hard part of saying no... why would he say that with a quote from me...... he's like "Maneko" and he's kinda cute.

"Well, let's go. I'm here to deliver the ingredients of good health."

That said, I'll put up a bag of honey popcorn to show you.

"Yes, to deliver the 'ingredients of good health'"

and Ginette lifting her cheeks with her index fingers on both hands.

You're smiling at what you call "the ingredient of good health".

"If you meet your friends, Mr. Delia will be fine, too, won't she?"

..................... damn.

I shrugged the popcorn around the corner.

That's right.

Delia will probably feel better if she sees us. I mean, I don't think "I don't want to see you" just because I think "it's hard to see you". You'd rather be thinking, "I want to see you, but it's hard to go see you".

So if you get him out of here, that's all you'll get saved. It also makes it easier to talk about a lot of things that have accumulated.

So to deliver the "ingredients of good health," I mean - let's go see him.

He said he was in the vein of good health, or he was too shy to want to delude himself with popcorn, but he was a good glance.

This is why natural unconsciousness...

"Ah, uh, Mr. Terumi!

Where the story is about to come together, Millie shouts out loud.

Powerful eyes with strong will stare at me, like the one I showed you in the garden of the thirty-fifth district.

"Miri, can I go after him?

"Aren't you coming with me?

"We can wait, can't we?

Shake your head at Estella and Ginette's words, take a deep breath, and then, with an unwavering heart, Millie says.

"Miri no, so I want to apologize properly to Ria... ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh"

That it would take a little while to get ready for that.

"Well, I'll be there first."

"Ugh... so I hope you can help me soon about Ria too... Miri I'm sorry"

We haven't done anything yet.

"Uh-huh. This is just how you came to see me... Miri no, that was so helpful... so"

Even now, Delia, who would still be anxious in her current progression.

I want you to save Delia like that a little faster. That seems to be the case.

I'll see you later.

"Ugh.... thanks. Mr. Terumi...... even Jinnai."

"That's fine when it's all done."

"I'm just a favor."

When dull, the three girls grin.

In the meantime, all of a sudden Millie slaps her hand in a pussy.

"Then, Miri, I'll stop by the woods once and then I'll... be late, maybe..."

"I'll wait until Millie gets here. Hey, Yashiro."

"Ah."

"Then we must also stop by the pavilion once and for all. You'll worry about Magda and Loretta when it's too late."

"Then hurry up and get out. Millie, I'm sorry you didn't take your time."

"Uh-huh, okay."

Ginette's cuisine was still there, but she decided to offer it free of charge, "There's still a lot of it, so I'll try my best in the woods if you like.

Have the package delivered at a later date.... which also created an excuse for Millie to come to the Yangdu Pavilion.

You want to feed me something decent.

That's why each one of us prepared for the bullshit, and we left Millie's private room behind.

Millie dropped me off at the front of the store, and she slapped me in the ear at the end.

"Come see me again... right?

- I leaned ashamed, turned my back twitchy, and stared at my ever running back... my back swelled.

... I want to take it home.

Seeing as it was, what a lovely plate hung at the entrance to the florist.

It was the perfect plate for Millie's shop, designed to remind me of the sweet sourness of my first love, where two birds were facing each other and eating one Sacramento at a time that remained connected to the branches.

At the same time I thought Millie seemed to like this, I'm sure the person who made this plate doesn't know any filth, she's a maiden in love, I thought so.

"Yashiro, I'm coming."

"Yashiro-sa. I'll be there ~"

"Ooh."

The sky I looked up to was without clouds...... the light of the sun illuminating the world was too dazzling.
