Sanzen no Souru Supina

"So, finally, it seems that the time has come to seriously tackle the problem of securing drinking water and less food and domestic water, as well as toilet washing."

Izma said with great manners and voice.

However, the faces of the team members were equally serious and nobody tried to tear them apart.

That illustrates the seriousness of the problem.

"No, the capacity of the facility actually installed on the flying boat was at its limit, regardless of whether it was stockpiling fresh water or purifying equipment.Main body flying boat: Gail Driver is an escape boat anyway. Basically, the boat is assembled from equipment based on the stock of drinking water and food, assuming short-term use.I didn't have the functionality I needed to survive this long. "

It was Love who cut my tongue.

Naturally, she was the best person to know the function of the flying boat, which belonged to the true knight's maiden, so she asked her sisters to search and quickly return.

He seemed a lot reluctant, but it was important to survive, so unfortunately, he swallowed the request to attend the meeting.

I don't even try to look at it in the same direction, but I don't think Ashley feels comfortable that the blatant way of ignoring it will make them understand the relationship.

Izma nodded in apprehension of Ashley.

"Of course, that was pointed out from the beginning.Well, we didn't want to postpone it, but this is the problem. "

"In the first place, why are you like that now... sea lizard (?-What happened?It's only been a week since we landed here.I've never seen anything like it before. "

Rave said in a mood of frustration.

That's a good point.

It was Izma who answered this.

"Sea lizard ─ ─ Glass Neptgenesis, right?Hmm, maybe he was asleep somewhere.As is often the case with ancient species, they had the ability to survive long years by spontaneously entering deep sleep.I don't know how deep the lake is, but I wonder if I woke up from the sound or something that inspired me to sleep in the deep. "

"Does that mean someone inadvertently woke him up?

Elma sandwiched her mouth between the two.

It was a good guess for her to declare herself a little broken.

But Ashley desperately had to swallow her heart out of her mouth.

Gichri, your chest is beating with arrhythmia.

After Elma's remarks, members of the squadron began to enumerate the possibilities.

"Yesterday's banquet?

"No, not to that extent."

"So, did someone make a loud sound and swim or something?

"Well, it would be better if we could just swim on the lake.As long as you don't make any noise or anything all night... it's too long, it's too persistent, too persistent. "

Ashley put her hand on her forehead and stroked her eyebrows.

Even though it's not hot, I sweat a lot.

I don't really feel like I let Love ring harshly last night, and then I feel like Love has repeatedly confessed by Love... and I feel like I've been begged, and because of that, I can't stop loving and forget to give up and respond to it.

What is this, a skeptical ghost?

Abbreviated, Gillian?

Probably not, Ashley thought.

Yes, this is escape from reality.

"Anyway, don't we have to prioritize future measures, drinking water and food security over why he woke up now?

Love fixed the trajectory of the conversation, which was about to roll in a strange direction.

It was a pretty powerful move, but I couldn't find a suspicious look on the team member's face.

Why?

The cold sweat and palpitations of Ashlet have not stopped since now.

"Nh, that's exactly what Love said.There are a lot of things I have to do before I can find out what caused Yako's waking up.I thought you were a little more indifferent to the mysterious world, but I'm also curious about this kind of thing, ladies of true knights. "

"Well, actually, it's a problem.Not just me, but my sisters. "

Izma was honestly impressed, but the maiden of the true knight, the enemy of the earthspider, must have felt like she had been taunted.

Slightly and steadily, Love returned.

Izma took her gaze away from the true knight maiden with her hands on her chin.

This time, the red eyes were directed at two elderly human men who had supported the team during Ashley and Izma's absence.

"That's why.I'd like to hear the two most familiar opinions about this aerial garden so far.Norman and Grandpa Burton. "

"I don't mean to be called Jijii, but I'll tell you what we know about this aerial garden, along with the terrain."

As I said, it was the Barrage butler Ashley's katana: Burton who stepped forward.

A large drawing was spread out on a rush table made of natural stone.

It was a map that accurately mapped as far as the aerial garden was currently known, using vegetable paper produced by the wisdom of earthspiders.

"As long as you've investigated me and Lord Norman while you were down, it's written here."

"Much bigger than I imagined.This garden is a lot bigger. "

Ashley said, looking at the record on the map.

"I'm afraid it's a little deserted island."

"Yamagata Valley ants?

"I wonder if it's big enough to be able to afford to live on cropland and grazing land for hundreds of people."

I just talked to Burton.

"With clean drinking water, adequate food, sewage, etc."

It is not uncommon for the empire to have a total population of tens of millions and the capital of a mid-level state to have a population of tens of thousands.

Though small in number, it was a fine city-level population.

"If the trees are growing, isn't there water?

"There are some, but two problems.One is the topography and soil problem. This aerial garden has plenty of undercurrent water, and the surface does not meet a large river with a fairly cohesive amount of water.There is a lake, but it is not enough for drinking water to be accumulated.The other is water quality.This is just a bit salty and painful. "

Burton answered Ashley instantly, pointing out the forest, the mountains and the part of the map that was depicted.

"Salty. I see. The lake wasn't as salty as sea water, but it was salty."

"Perhaps, it is our view that there is a salt underground vein somewhere.The water that has flowed there cannot be drunk if you endure it, but there is definitely a problem with drinking it regularly.The safety of the rest is still unknown. "

"Salt veins. That's....."

Ashley roared, "It's a big deal later."

Salt is a necessity for survival and an important munitions supply.

It is a considerable advantage to be able to produce it in this aerial garden.

However, securing drinking water is now a problem for some of its benefits.

Can't you do something about distillation?

"To do this, we need a lot of fuel wood.I don't know how long it will take to dry it once it is cut out of a raw tree, and it is a very delicate task to make fresh water.Distillers are also quite large, so this number of people is very large.I don't know how to use sunlight and evaporation... but it's too long.Laundry can be a big deal if it's not fresh water. "

More importantly, distilled water is quite bad for drinking for a long time.

It was Norman who responded to Ashley's idea.

"What about the well?

"Extinct claws: I tried digging the ground in Arman, but the soil and bedrock in this corner looks... strange.You mean artificial?The result was the same salty, faintly bitter water as the lake.The amount of water was pretty good, but I just made a salty puddle.I don't know if the water quality is enough for long-term drinking..... "

More wonderful than that, the Knights of Religion man twisted his neck suddenly.

"But the groundwater also looks like that....Mm-hmm. I don't know if this plant is salt resistant, or if it has any bulbs, just now. "

There's a portable water source if you need it.

It was Izuma who said it while stretching.

Last time, I was talking about an earthspider item that called a hot spring in the bathroom in the Mansion that I borrowed during the Heliatrium offensive.

"I'm ready to cover this number in a few days.It's just... it's too far from the ground.Efficiency falls apart.Should I cut this trump card without thinking about it?For now, it's something that can't be reproduced in this aerial garden... so I think it's better to think about it carefully. "

And Elma, who is in charge of the spell, answered.

Ashley nodded.

Izuma's ability to earth spiders is often assumed to be grounded by talented people on the ground, regardless of fortune telling.

It made sense that the spell did not function adequately in the aerial garden.

"It's just that.We have a problem with drinking water that is not yet on the agenda. "

Burton cut out when everyone had given their opinions fairly well.
