Isekai Sagishi no Consulting

"I really built it...."

I murmur with half praise and half stupidity.

These guys at the Tolbec engineering store really built the public baths.

Men and women, one building at a time. It's not such a small house that I somehow want to count in the "building".

It is a very splendid public bath.

A large chimney is growing in the water, and it really feels like "The Public Bath".

They need a chimney of that size to set fire to the boiler with incredible firepower to boil water.

And let the smoke vent far above the roof of Imerda's Mansion so that it does not affect the branches of the Woodwood Guild, nearby fields, or nearby forests.

That cleaning is going to be tough....

Next to me, Bertina, who came to visit a new facility in the neighborhood with the whole Yangtai Pavilion, looks up at a giant chimney with her mouth wide open with a similar face.

"Um, if it's too expensive, won't there be any complaints from District 30 or 29?"

Ginette looks anxious because there is a precedent of "BU" that has been bitten by just launching fireworks.

But it's okay.

Even though the chimney is high, is there a clear ten meters?

The wall adjacent to District 42 is a 30-meter-class wall.

It will not arrive at all at that level.

More than that.

"How dare you make such a big chimney?"

"I know an oiler who's a good mason."

"Ah, a professional toilet washer."

"Ha ha, thank you for asking me to wash the toilet."

Not only the upper classes can install indoor washrooms, but households with a little extra space have also considered and implemented the project.

Demand would have been considerable.

"That's why the chimney almost undertook me for an 'investment' price."

"I see. It's the same as Umaro. It's so domineering."

"It's not like that, Oila and him!?"

I don't know what it means to take on troublesome work at a cheap price that I've never done before.

"In the boiler pot, Cylon played a big role, so I gave him a hard time later."

Hiccup Estella says strange things.

"Why should I? You tell me how grateful you are."

"You'd be happier to be recognized as a hero than me, Cylon."

"Hmm. Are you still obsessed with the dazzling of 'Eye-water'?"

"I'm not obsessed!? I didn't have that intention in the first place!"

There are people gathered around "Nishi-no-Yu".

The wild horses, who are not involved, are also visiting the huge new structure.

That chimney is spectacular.

"I'd like to write" Yang Da Tai Pavilion Here "on that chimney."

"Then you'll be surprised."

Ginette laughs as she imagines.

The publicity effect would be huge.

If so, would you like to include it in the advertisement of the Tolbec Workshop?

Estella looks back at Umaro.

Ah, that's a distraction.I get nervous when I look at you.

"Umaronko would be well known without advertising.Do you want more customers? "

No, no, then the Yangtao Pavilion is famous.

"We don't get jobs from other districts, do we?"

"Have you forgotten, palm?You'll be making mochi till the 35th District by the beginning of the year. "

"... that's not a favor. The tyranny of the nobles."

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

You're all staying here again.

"I'm going to show the people of the 35th district the real rice cakes!"

"... Magda wins fans and draws them into District 42."

"It's far away, Magda!?It's terrible to let people go to the Yangtao Pavilion!? "

"... even though the lord is leading the way?"

"He's a shame, so he can't compare to ordinary people!"

"Yeah, Loretta... I know you're familiar with Lucia, but don't say that out loud because you're the lord of another district."

Estella would be glad to advise, but Lucia would be fine.

Loretta would be willing to accept it.I don't have any beast traits, but I think I like the Beast clan.

"... the advertisement for the Tolbec shop, huh?"

Along with the girl who plays wakiyaka, Umaro looks up at the chimney standing up and mutters.

I have a serious eye for even the letters that should be engraved there.

"" Haahn, Magda Tan Serious Angels! - Tolbek Workshop "

"That's not my publicity at all!?"

Well then, I'm going to come up with a plan while arrogating myself! Tolbec Engineering Store with a pin on my face!

"Which face!? Eh, you paint faces!?Can you see it, at that height!? "

Nominated criminal....

Loretta would have done that.

Magda will be left behind.

"What kind of propaganda do you think Ginette would like?"

"That's right... 'The Tolbechnik engineering store designs not only the technology but also the feelings of the users, so the comfort that can continue to be used for many years afterwards is wonderful, but perhaps it is a first-class product backed up by your persona and attitude towards your work, as well as by the solid tradition and technology that has been passed down...'"

"The chimney turns black!"

"You want to write a lot of characters, store manager.Maybe I can't read it. "

"... eheheh, I'm sorry. I couldn't sort of summarize it in one word," Here it is. "

"No, I was so glad the manager thought about it.Oira, I'm glad you're working hard! "

Ginette polishes and polishes the kitchen in the Yangtai Pavilion every day.

It is probably due to the gratitude and respect for the carpenters who made those kitchens, which will not fade forever.

― ― let the manager know

"You really haven't made any progress."

Come on, get used to Ginet.

Ginette wouldn't do anything to you, you know.

It's a rare presence that keeps you at a reasonable distance.Rehabilitate now.

"Does Estella have a plan?Like, "Peek-a-boo!"? "

"Mr. Yashiro, that's Estella's message."

"Okay, Umaro, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Ahhh, uh, fufufu, just the two of you, I can't do it!"

Umaro escapes the cursed eye of Estella.

When they stare at it, they curse their descendants.

Terrible!

"Do you have anything for Magda?"

Estella waves to the magda I kept until the end.

I want to take something delicious with me.It's the best position to swing in front of me.

Whether Estella was talking to Magda, or Ginette staring at Nico and Magda, Umaro wouldn't try to hide her exciting look.

"Ah, now Magda must be joking."

Loretta was easy to understand, "Come on, say something interesting!I'm waiting! "

Magda speaks quietly in such a gaze.

Point to the tall chimney and move it to write with your fingertips.

"... 'Look, this is the technology of the Tolbec Workshop.'"

Everyone loses their words.

If you carve such a letter into the chimney, it will no longer be the result of knowing the technical skill of the Tolbec shop without asking questions.

I've never seen such a building before.

A chimney that holds high.

A majestic appearance.

Inside, it is a functional, sophisticated design bathing area that is fully computed in pursuit of flow lines and ease of use.

There won't be a single person in this city who can say, "It's no big deal."

Everyone must admire "wow..." at a glance.

On the iconic chimney there, "Look, this is the technology of the Tolbec Workshop."

That's the best publicity.

"Amazing, Magda!That's cool! "

"... and next to that, 'The renovated Yangtai Pavilion of the Tolbec Workshop is over there...'"

"Did you ride it!? Did you ride it for free on the prestige of the Tolbec Engineering Store!?"

Did you lift it up and end up with tea eyes?

What, Magda? You're so sweet, Umaro.

A reward for Umaro, who built this amazing bathing area?

Umaro will be delighted.

I'm sure it's the biggest "haahn, magda, really angels!" is coming.

--And when I looked at Umaro's face.

"... uu... guu!"

Are you crying so much!?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you kidding me?Are you sure you don't want to write any publicity?What if I write? Are you okay? "

Umaro's eyes were dyed bright red to see what was really happening to her.

I was a little surprised and comforted.

"Yes... I know that advertising is a joke... ruth... but..."

Brutally wipe your sleeves with tears, forcing you to make a full smile.

"Magda, I'm so glad you said that... yes, I'm so glad you thought that!"

Well, you're complaining if you don't trust me.

"... everyone here knows the beauty of Umaro's carpenters at the Tolbec Workshop."

"That's right, Umaro. We are always grateful to you."

"Even in church, the ham kids who made Umaro helped us fix everything."

"Ah, yes! My house is also comfortable!Excellent, Tolbec Engineering Store! "

"Uhh... there is... and everyone..."

Umaro endures crying and keeps his smile on.

I have a funny face because I have failed a great deal.

But no one laughed at it.

This guy....

You've really been hunted down.

From the time we played the river in the heat... no, probably before that.

I felt uncomfortable somehow, but... I didn't realize it.

Lucia brought me some bad publicity from the outside, and I'm not worried.

"Uma..."

"... Umaro"

When I tried to speak, Magda stood in front of Umaro before me.

And he talks softly with his usual calm voice.

"... I was a little worried.But Umaro was a professional, so I kept an eye on him. "

Magda was watching quietly as she noticed the unusual spirits of Umaro.

I was staring at the situation so as not to make things any bigger.

Speaking of which, you used to make Magda look worried about Umaro somewhere.

You mean Magda looked at Umaro better than I did.

"... Magda is an amateur, so I don't know much about technology.However, as a customer who uses Umaro's products, I can express my opinion.Umaro made things that are very easy to use: kitchens, baths, toilets, patio roofs.On top of that, it's sturdy, it's rubbed tightly to keep the magda from getting hurt, and it's very gentle to touch. "

If you ask, Magda's living space seems to be protected by Umaro.

"... even if royalties, nobles and people from all over the world deny Umaro and the Tolbec shop..."

Magda tells Umaro with confidence.

"--Magda can brazenly declare that the Tolbec Workshop is the best in the world."

I'm sure Umaro will appreciate more than the compliments and fame that you receive from the great man.

"Excellent" from customers who actually use it.

"... cum!"

Cover your face with both hands, and Umaro kills your voice and crys.

No one laughed at it, and no one agreed with Magda's words.

Magda, you always said that.

"... Magda is everyone's voice."

What a quiet spokesman.

That's how we waited in that place.

I saw Umaro's tears stop.And the crying umaro tells me everything.

"That's a smart plan, Estella."

"I'm not happy to be told with my nose stretched out."

Estella in her swimsuit passes by me.

Oh, my legs are as beautiful as ever.

Yo, beautiful stepladder!

"Ugh, shut up!"

"Overall Slender"

"... shut up."

Oh, wait, wait, wait!

The knife should not be brought into the bathtub more than a washing towel.

Therefore, we are now at the newly created "Nishi-no-Yu" in District 42.

This is the public bath.....

Hiroi!

Ahhhh, now I'm going to say, "I should've made you some hot water!Shit!

"Guys, this is a special case for a test run.After tomorrow, it's forbidden to wear swimsuits or go with the opposite sex. "

Estella stabbed a nail in the face of the "commissioning investigation team of the public bath."

Here are the people who have worked hard to make this public bath.

In other words, carpenters and woodcutters and hardware guilds and river fishing guilds and those around them.

I had both men's and women's baths look inside before filling the bath, but the atmosphere changed when I filled the bath.

A warm space surrounded by hot air.

And the smell of hot water.

Echoing voices.

Viva public baths!

Viva Baths!

Viva, feminine hot spring!

That's right!

We're in the ladies' bath now!

Speaking of swimsuits, be with the beauties!

"It's good to be alive!"

"If you keep saying that, I'll pick it out."

"I'm sorry, I'm quiet!"

"Yashiro apologizes honestly!?"

Do you want to stay in the ladies' bath so much?

"You're desperate, oniichan...."

"... I can't help it because it's palm"

"Bubububububububububububububububububububububububububububu...."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!Pull it up, Becco! "

"I learned that!"

It seems that the situation of being in the ladies' bath caused Umaro's tension needle to shake off, and I am so nervous that I am worried about watching it.

It's okay. They're all swimsuits.It's a bath that no one has used yet.

Carpenters, hardware Guild maidens, and River Fishing Guild essays all enter the men's bath to conduct a "trial run investigation."

It's the exercise of the right of first refusal under the name of investigation.

By now, I'm probably getting tired in a big bath.

No swimsuits on the other side.

Look, the first time you go in in a swimsuit, you might find someone embarrassed the next time you go in naked, right?That's why they can't wear swimsuits.

... you can make my swimsuit unavailable.

"Palm, do you want to go?"

Me, Nanimo, Chavette, Nye.

If I don't do anything, Estella is sticking to me.

Anyway, if it's tight, just stick with me.

"The truth is, palms and umbrellas should also be put into the men's bath, but there are a few circumstances."

Umaro, who cried on the street in front of the public bath, once evacuated to "NTA", "a place where people gather when they do something."

But it seemed to have been stockpiled up quite a bit, and it was hard to revive.

Well, I don't know if I can do it today, but there's a commissioning of the public bath after this... and I thought, "Well, let's take a bath and listen." Estella brought in a ridiculous idea.

Various rules were twisted and this was the only exception.

That's why I've seen a lot of faces participating in the commissioning team.

Estella, Natalia, Imerda, Delia and Norma in front of the Yangtai Pavilion.

And Bertina was very worried about witnessing a weeping umaro.

Bathing with Bertina....!

Lucky time that will probably never happen again!

I'm glad you're alive!

"Palm. This is just for Umaro, right?"

"... I know. Be a good boy ~"

Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, leaving on the way!

I'll live healthy today!

And Becco and Omero are also in here as personnel to ease Umaro's tension.

Omero?

I'm taking a bath in the hot tub because Delia's scared.

I was washing toys, just now.

"And...."

As she leaned back, Estella whispered in her ear carefully to keep her voice from ringing.

There's something about Ginette, too.

By accident, Ginette and I are bathing over the wall.

It seemed so embarrassing, and sometimes the embarrassment came back and I was agonized.

I wish you'd forgotten already.

And if you let them experience "together" on this occasion, the feelings of "just themselves" and "doing things that no one else has done" will disappear.

I even played in the river.

From the river to the bath, the place changed, and the only thing that got soaked was water to water.

A little nervous, but no one's so shy.

... but maybe because everyone understands that if you're embarrassed here, you'll get extra light.

Occasionally, when Ginette and I look at each other, they look embarrassed.

I'd appreciate it if those lights went out after today.

"I know you're happy to mix baths with Estella and Yashiro, but it's too close."

"Fufu!? Nothing to be happy about!That's not how it works!It's just a little conversation! "

"All I could see was a figurine? Hey, Sister."

"Yes, let's go a little further, both of you."

After all, it seems that skin contact in the bathroom is a bit...

I was swimming in the river with some people on my back.

Should I contact my skin in the river?

"Ah, but I'm not going to blame you.But I thought it would be better to take Estella's position a little more seriously. "

"Thank you for your consideration, Sister.I'll be careful after that. "

"Oh, good. I'm not mad at you."

"Fufu, unless Mr. Yashiro stretches under his nose."

"Wow, you're really angry. I'm going to keep getting angry."

"How long are you going to stretch under your nose..."

If it's just this warm, it'll thermally swell under your nose.

I want you to take a good look at it.

"So, you calm down, Umaro?"

"Uhh, eh, well... hah..."

"I don't know, it's definite!"

"Ugh, it's a lousy mess! Hey, don't look at me!"

"... why are you so nervous, you... don't want to"

No, if you're a normal guy in a black bikini, everybody's nervous.

What a sexy, wet, moist, warm, dusty, light peachy chest... if it's a buffet, I'm eating it all out.

"... Umaro"

"Magda-tan...."

"... and the magda in the swimsuit?"

Seriously, Angels!

How are you?

As usual, you are.

"... you don't have to.But the palms and everyone are worried about Umaro. "

"... Magda-tan"

"... I believed in Umaro and tried to keep it quiet. I'm sure everyone will too."

Yeah, that's right.

Many would have noticed Umaro's discomfort.

However, I didn't realize that I was being hunted down so far - I didn't step in because I had confidence that he would be fine.

But it was a shallow idea.

Umaro is a human being.No matter how good the technology is, it's just a human being who can break his heart in a little bit.

I've made the people in this city think too much of me.

Don't expect that.

I can do anything.

There's no doubt about him.

Such a decision was somewhere in my heart.

"... but I've already seen it, so I can't 'don't listen'."

Looking at that umaro, I don't think I can do it myself.

I'm sure they're all the same.

"... Umaro is always watching, supporting and helping Magda."

"Mag... da, Tan"

"... Magda is worried about Umaro.... let Magda save Umaro."

There was a sound of water.

The louder such a small sound was heard, the more silent the area was.

Take a breath and everyone is watching Umaro without saying a word.

"... gusu"

Umaro sipped and broke his face.

"Thank you. Actually, I'm at my limit."

--I shed a large tear.

The tears that fall from your face as you laugh are evidence that your mind is at its limit.

"What a shameful story, but will you listen to me?"

The smile on our face was weak and none of us were able to respond.

I felt like I should call Umaro right now and say, "Oh, listen to me," or "talk to me."

Magda says quietly on behalf of us who are silent.

"... the Ron of Moti"

... yeah.

Anyway, I can speak for everyone here.

But what?

Did something happen a little bit more, a word you say!?

"Yahaha. Thank you, Magda."

Umaro, who was looking at Magda's face in front of him, seemed to have something on his face, and the pain had just disappeared from his smile.

It seems to have started gradually since the "banquet" held in the forty-second district.

While immersed in the big water, Umaro starts to talk about it.

"We moved Mr. Murr's building to coincide with the birth of New Road.On that edge, Mr. Murr asked me to repair the water wheel.Looks like he saw a paddleboat in the river in District 42, so he asked us to do it. "

I know the story of Umaro and the others using the technique of towing to move the museum.

So, Obasan, you're stretching your legs to the river?

Are you free?

"So, the repairs to the water wheel were completed without delay, and Mr. Murr was very pleased."

"Did you make something with a plus one?"

"I made a little paddleboat by the water wheel.The building was so far from the river that it was used to pump water into the waterway. "

You can use a water wheel for that sort of thing, and you don't have to pump it up in the first place. If it's that distance, you can dig a waterway.

I suppose he wanted a paddleboat for some reason.

It must have been a pleasure.

"So, I was told that the lord's mansion in District 29 is old and will be repaired soon.Mr. Murray said he would speak to the lord personally. "

Murr is Murr, and you realized the utility of the Tolbec Workshop and started the siege?

Carpenters who made Todorokuru No. 1, Newroad, and playthings.

You wanted a fat pipe and tried to shake your job.

"But I couldn't wait to live and didn't get in touch with her, and when I met her at the District People's Games, I kind of asked her.I wonder what happened to that story. "

Then Murr said:

"Huh? Aren't you the ones who repaired the warehouse?"

"The repairs to the warehouse were already finished."

I'm talking about Murr, if you said you were smart, you would have done it.

He is also the lord of the Twenty-Ninth District and works directly with Gellarsy, who is the real brother.

Gellarsey's guy rebelled against his sister, so he asked Waza and another carpenter to do it?

No, there's no point in doing such a thing now.

Above all, it's time for him to meet Murray a little and polish his hands as a lord.

He himself said he would do it.

I don't think it would hurt my relationship with Murr with such rebellion.

"Well, that's how it ended."

Then Murray asked Umaro to do his job in detail.

But Gellarsy never asked me to.

"That's how similar things started to happen elsewhere."

The work introduced by Umaro and acquaintances is over soon.

That happened in a few cases.

And Umaro thought,

"Some engineering shop is entering their work and scratching them," he said.

"I immediately got my eye on it.It sounds arrogant to say that the oils were supposed to do it... but it was always the same shop - Norton - that actually carried out the work that the other party said they wanted to ask the oils to do. "

It was all the Norton shop that scratched the job that had been assigned to the Tolbec shop.

"I thought it might happen once or twice, but this continued... so I went to protest against the Oira, Norton shop building."

The bridge of the Norton shop appears to be an essay of the Latte tribe, Donovan Norton.

A tough face osan with a tough flesh like the Hunting Guild, he's considerably older than Umaro.

"Honestly, by that time, the oils had come to their limits quite a bit... ah, not monetarily, but in a vulgar way, the nobles, the guild towns, all the jobs that were called 'good customers' were taken sideways..."

Umaro is a kind man who laughs all year round in front of us, but he also has the severity of yelling at Goozooya, who worked illegally when we first met.

Especially this one, he hates bending.

If the Norton Agency had actually been working fraudulently and stealing the work of the Tolbec Agency, they would not have tolerated their fraud even if they had a total collision.

... if the Norton shop was actually working illegally.

"It's like buying words in selling words, and they're pissed off, showing me everything from books to books.I told you to check it out until you're done.... and... "

"I didn't find any traces of fraud...?"

"...... sss"

Umaro nodded in anguish at Estella's words.

It seemed a little relieved to hear the words that would have been difficult to say.

However, Umaro's expression of anguish was so painful that he couldn't breathe and felt his regret.

Umaro doesn't want to regret not exposing the wrongdoing.

I'm not mad at the people who cut through the whites well.

I am not shocked to be told that it is not really wrongful and that I only lost because of my strength.

He just can't be forgiven.

I doubted the innocent.

My actions, which I decided were absolutely fraudulent, were unacceptable.

"I was told when the innocence of the Norton shop was proven....."

Aren't you a Tengu recently?

"There was no sound of gu.Oira, I just lowered my head and ran away..... "

Did something like that happen?

I didn't realize it at all.

The story quickly spread among the civil engineering guilds to which the carpenters belonged, and the name of the Tolbec Workshop was muddy.

He said, "It's only natural for us to take a job, and it's impossible for us to take it elsewhere." Or "Outlaws who come to ruin the workplace by making it difficult for others to take a good job."

Umaro and the others were merely silent and willing to accept such slander.

"After that, as usual, there was no more talk of Oira and I heard a lot later that other shops had done the work....."

"Was it all a Norton shop?"

"No...."

Umaro answers Estella's questions normally.

I've been lying on my back forever, so I don't have to look at my face.

That's how much damage we're taking.

"The Norton Engineering Store has lost jobs since the Oira caused the commotion.... Since then, various engineering stores have taken jobs instead of specific ones."

In that case, of course, it is the Norton Engineering Store that is not silent.

Due to Temee and others, my work has been reduced due to my unforgettable reputation!How are you going to take responsibility!

That's how they got stuck.

And Umaro gave up most of the work she had been ordering in District 40 to the Norton shop.

Explain the situation to the other party and the union, and get proper consent.

... Ah, that's why the headquarters people like Yamboldt and Gouzuya were free.

I thought it was a little too much for them to get together.

Is there such a reason?

And in the heat.

The day I was playing in the river, a terrible story came to Umaro.

No, I got hit.

"Sued by the General Court"

Disruption of sales.

By carrying out a flashy investigation with difficulty, he discredited the Norton Agency and took away his job.

Not only that, but the extreme loss of jobs must have been due to the fact that the Tolbec shop was working from behind.

That's how it was decided, and I got sued.

If he stood up, he would have cleared up a little suspicion of undercover work, but Umaro avoided a dispute.

Because I think I caused trouble because of what I did.

He said he paid the negotiation fee in full so as not to cause further disruption and damage to the Norton Works.

Declaration of de facto defeat.

Everything the Norton Agency said was right.

And the reputation of Tolbec Works spread all at once to every corner of the district.

We have no choice but to work earnestly and regain credibility from scratch.

Umaro thought so and told the carpenters.

That's why, from the snowy season to today, they wanted work unusually.

To start over and gain credibility again in this forty-two district, where you can legitimately evaluate technology and motivation, not for money.

"The truth is... I'm worried that just naming the oysters will cause trouble to Estella, 42 Wards, and Yashiro... but this is all I have left... because there's only carpenters in the oysters, so whatever you do, trust me again... I have to feed my carpenters... so...!"

In the water, the man's tears fall.

Well, yes. It could be a drop from the ceiling, and I'll make sure you don't see it.

"I'm sorry... I can't talk. I trust you guys, but I'm a little scared after all... because Oira... has been recognized for her technology and has been so well done by her... it seems like she can't do her job with bad reputation, so it's of no value to Oira..."

"Oh, shit."

My voice stops Umaro's words.

No, I did. I did.

What I did was by accident.

I should have asked Millie for the right bamboo.

With bamboo, we could have made a water cannon.

If there was a water cannon, I could have poured hot water into his mouth and silenced him without saying a word of weeping.

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, sorry.

I can't help it, so I'll use the toilet and pour plenty of hot water over Umaro's head.

"Wow... pu!? Hmm, what is it!?"

Shake your wet face with a pull, and Umaro finally looks up.

"... ah"

Looks like you've finally noticed.

I want to know what the faces of the people who were listening to you are like now.

How do you think these people feel when they hear you say, "Anyway, I don't know about oils", "I'm sure they do it everyday", "I'm still immature" and "terminally ill people"?

Look at that.

Ginette seems to cry, even Loretta distorts her eyebrows, and Magda is half-eyed.

The smile doesn't take away the smile from the salesman at the kiosk, you weeping fox.

My intention to look at and reflect on the faces of the girls who look sad because of you doesn't seem to make sense at all, Umaro is staring me in the face.

"... that face of Mr. Yashiro"

Too good-looking to be blinded?

"... I'm sorry."

Looking back silently, Umaro lowered his head deeply.

Sitting on your knees in a bathtub, your hands on your knees, not to the ground, but deep.

... I don't care what I look like.

You laugh like an idiot.

I made a fantastic bath.

Be more proud.

Nothing makes you sick.

I mean, this whole mess that was bothering you--

Umaro, it's gas lighting.

--I 'm not interested in the Tolbec Workshop, which was created by some idiot.
