Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 94: Spring of the Third Year

Spring broke out in the snow-covered village of Uld.

It will be my third spring in this world.

"It's a beautiful day, Mr. Yamato"

"Oh. You're springing up, Mr. Riesha"

"Yes, it's spring"

As usual, I look around at the situation in the village where winter has dawned, with the village chief's granddaughter Risha. We will check to see if there is any damage caused by snow, such as buildings and fields.

The winter snow accumulation in this village of Uld is not so much, but it lasts a tough day like freezing. As a result, the villagers were squeezing the cold in the fireplace and working in internal jobs such as crafts and textiles.

"You could afford the amount of stockpile this year, Mr. Riesha."

"Yes, Mr. Yamato. There's still room for meat and vegetables."

Check inventory in the village grocery store. Reesha, who manages this place, reports as she looks at the record book at hand. According to that figure, the stock of food was considerably more affordable than last year.

"Thanks to your instructions, Yamato."

"It's no big deal. As a result of all the hard work the village has done."

Reesha is grateful, but she hasn't made that much of a reform. What I instructed was as much about cultivating potatoes and winter vegetables that I had purchased in Teito, and new ways to cross winters for livestock in action.

There were a variety of vegetables in an empire where the land was lean, similar to Urd's environment in mountainous areas. Its cultivation is progressing well, and the village will not have any more vegetable problems during the winter months.

Previously, pigs and other livestock were salted and smoked before winter arrived. This is one of the bitter measures to keep raw things from rotting in a world without refrigerators.

However, since last year, the livestock production method has been slightly changed to reduce the amount of pork made into processed meat. This provided stable food even during the winter months.

"But I can't be alarmed. Let's add a little more farmland for the future."

Yes, Mr. Yamato.

This Uld is a village with only old people and children.

Three years have passed since I arrived, and some of the children come out to welcome adults. An even more stable increase in self-sufficiency is ideal for their growing up.

Self-sufficiency is also indispensable for future planning.

Also check another warehouse while looking at the ledger.

"Crafts are going well."

"Yes, the quality is better than last year. This is also thanks to Yamato's proposed dragon material."

He used materials obtained from the giant dragon Agni in the showdown of the Imperial City and improved tools to make crafts. The dragon beard, which combines fineness and strength, replaced the belts of gears and pulleys, and the dragon feather membrane also allowed unprecedented improvements.

This allowed the crafts of the people of Uld, Han, and Suzak to be made one after the other. From the old men with skilled moves, children inherit and learn traditions and moves.

The crafts of the children, who were undressed at first, have also now evolved into fine products. Exactly the inheritance of tradition.

"When the planting settles, we'll have to show our faces in the city of Orn."

"Mr. Rack contacted me regularly."

Those crafts will be transported to the trading city of Orn as a commodity when the snow breaks and you can go away.

Crafts from high quality Urd are highly popular among city dwellers.

Rumor has it that a trader has also come out to distribute it to the Imperial City via Orn. Trading in the market in Teito (Bazaar) was spreading through word of mouth.

"All right. Let's see what happens next, Mr. Riesha."

Yes, Mr. Yamato.

We will continue our regular patrols.

Me and Leisha reach the additional workshop built along the creek that runs through the village.

"Oh, this is Lord Yamato. Are you two close, inspector?

"Oh, let me see. Never mind. Just keep working."

An old woman from the village who was in the workshop called out, but instructs her to continue working.

"The textile workshop seems to be going well."

"Thank you, Lord Yamato."

The textile (vaginal discharge) workshop went well. This workshop has been fully operational since last year.

Using modern Japanese technology, we developed a spinning machine and a textile machine.

Designed by me by way of example and made by the Gatons and the elderly artisans of the Mountain Hole clan. The sound of regular and pleasant weaving is heard in the large workshop.

"Wold cloth was also popular in Orn and Imperial City, Yamato"

"Oh. This will be the spindle industry of the village"

These “spinning" and “textile" machines were created from innovative “flying" machines invented around the eighteenth century in the history of the Earth. Combining that with the power of the water wheel had led to a far greater productivity.

By improving the productivity of the traditional “wold fabric" of the village, it can be sold as a commodity for trading. Beautiful dyes and high-quality cloths, which can only be picked in mountainous areas, would have inspired the aesthetic empathy of the women of the city.

"Speaking of which, the fabric Miss Riesha asked for is also made here."

"What... yes, thank you"

One of the old ladies in the workshop calls to Riesha, who was next to me. She said the special fabric she was asking the old lady for was complete. Colorful fabrics specific to mountain peoples are offered in front of Riesha.

"And then the lady sews in" Wood Embroidery. "

"Take it easy and finish the dowry tool!

"Yes... I'll do my best"

Risha is inspired by the old ladies. This fabric is somehow special. Reesha, who received it, is blushing and responding in a whisper.

"The women of Uld were masters of embroidery, Mr. Riesha."

"Yes, I worked hard from a very young age too..."

Wold women brush their needle arms from an early age and have a habit of dowry with the embroidered fabric they make and store when dowry after adulthood. Reesha, who is fifteen years old, also sees him always putting needles through the cloth.

"Ya, Master Yamato... I will be sixteen next summer..."

"Right. You're early."

Risha was only thirteen when I met her in the woods. I will be taken care of by this village because I helped her who was being attacked by the Great Rabbit. Has it been three years since then?

When you think about it, it is really early for the moon to flow.

"I am not in a hurry when I am sixteen...... I will do my best to help you Yamato"

"There's just a few more things that need to be resolved in this village. I'm counting on you, Mr. Riesha."

The situation in the village of Uld had improved considerably compared to two years earlier. The cultivation of cereal ineaphones has solved the food shortage, and livestock production and the cultivation of new vegetables are well under way.

Due to the increased productivity of the crafts, there are also regular dealings with the city of Orn. That also led to the availability of medicines and necessary supplies.

Thanks to the hard work of everyone in the village, life in the village is really improving rapidly.

"I... will be a lovely woman, qualified to stand next to you Yamato"

Risha blushes, but declares with serious eyes.

She was a girl. Soon she has also grown up as a deputy village chief and a fine woman. As a representative of a truly fine village.

With her, the children of the village, the Gatons, the Mountain Hole tribe, maybe this village will be fine by now.

"Oh...... right"

Reply so that your emotions are not noticed.

This is how my “last years” in this village were about to begin.
