Tadashi Tanaka (41) Birth of a Kingdom – ‘Medieval Europe Is Too Harsh!’

Winter is here.

Cold.

And smoke.

Why smoke, because it kindles fire in the house.

When I removed the table in the biggest room I've ever called the dining room, the top plate, a silly enclosure appeared inside.

Apparently, he had a ceiling on top of a stone-loaded enclosure.

It looks like a table in summer and an enclosure in winter.

If you put a fire in the furnace, this is smoke anyway.

For once, they seem to be smoking out of the ceiling, but they haven't followed them at all.

... Why the enclosure...? The others are western-style, but this is the only Japanese-style?

Actually, I didn't know Tanaka, but it is said that the fireplace was invented between the 11th and 12th centuries.

Moreover, it had to wait until the 18th century to spread to ordinary houses for taxes to be applied to chimneys and the like.

There are no fireplaces in the kingdom of Amoros yet.

And it would be a matter of the cost of heating, but in the winter, the servants also began to flock to the mansion's dining room enclosure for a meal.

...... I kind of got at-home.

I was looking at the dining room, which turned into a place for my servants to relax.

My mother, Lucienne, doesn't look disgusted either, so I was convinced it would be something to say.

... but you look like a primitive...

I was stunned at the servants gathering in the dining room.

Geps and cuckoo sounds are normal.

The servants grabbed the rice and ate it with their hands and poured away the bones and other leftovers.

Someone's dog eats it and runs away to see where it came from.

At least he is a dog I have never seen in this mansion.

It's not just the meal manners, some of them made a bad prank about our female slaves, but it's obvious that with some consent, it won't be a problem.

You should say 'chastity' annoyingly in religion.

"I don't know, it's amazing"

I spoke to my father, Rudolph, who happened to be on my side.

"Well, Decos is a brave man, he's eaten up pork strands."

Apparently Rudolph interpreted my "awesome" as a compliment.

But I don't understand why eating pork crotch is a heroic act.

Decos is an accomplished squire who cleverly grabs the soup in the middle of the table.

I don't understand why you don't use a spoon, but maybe that's what brave people are for.

By the way, the squire's meal is the same thing as ours.

I don't know if this is normal or Rudolph's policy, but I know very well that Rudolph treats his squire with care.

I was disgusted by the hustle and smoke and headed to the kitchen.

The kitchen doesn't have a smoke exhaust device either, so it's smoky, but it's just not noisy yet.

There was Rona's mother and Rona.

"Hey, Lorna's here."

"Dear Barian,"

Lorna happily invited me to the next seat.

"Where is Rollo today?

"Lolo must have gone shopping for firewood with Mr. Zillow and the others."

Rona answers my questions.

Rona's mother doesn't try to blame us for being close these days, but what about inside?

"Rona has been living in the King's Capital for a long time?

"Yes, we've had them put in this mansion ever since your grandfather started working in this mansion."

I was impressed with "heh."

I fear loyalty to three generations.

After a while of public speaking, I cut to the main point.

"... Actually, it's like going back to the realm in the spring..."

When I shrugged, Rona looked sad.

"Yes, I know. My husband travels to and from your territory and mansion every few years."

"…… well."

After a little silence, Rona mumbled the song.

The people of the kingdom of Amoros like songs.

There is always someone who sings aloud even though there is no booze in a busy dining room.

I have pity for Rona's singing today.

You must be sparing me a goodbye.

Rona has a crush on me... just not so dull that I don't know this.

She's probably about 10 years old, two or three older than a variant, but she thinks she's a gentle, dependable boy because of my higher mental age.

But that's right, I don't have romantic feelings for a 10-year-old, and I'm not as romantic as waving my life on a stick in a relationship that overcomes my identity difference.

It is impossible for me to respond to her thoughts.

I sang along with Rona, too.

This song has been taught to me by Rona.

My body can't match Rona's voice before she changes her voice.

And using the choral tricks I learned in music classes when I was in Tanaka, it seems to be quite a level of singing power in this world.

i.e. stretch your spine, open your mouth wide vertically, and sing without shyness...... this is all quite different.

Soon Rollo and Zillow are back, and both the servants and Rudolph, who were making noise in the dining room, have been heard.

... yes, let's teach Rona some simple calculations besides letters, so she can find a good daughter-in-law at all...

When our chorus was over, the servants cheered.

I didn't see the look on Rona's face.

………………

The years have changed.

The calendar of the Kingdom of Amoros is 30 days a month, 360 days a year.

There may be a moon, but I'm not sure about it.

Winter in the Kingdom of Amoros is snowy and cold, I think it is cold, minus the underdeveloped heating appliances and clothing.

It's cold enough to wear a fur jacket or an arm cover.

Unable to withstand a harsh winter, the poor neighborhoods are overflowing with starving and frozen deaths, as is natural.

Hierarchy also exists for the poor, although it is a natural story.

Even with a mouthful of poor people, some sick people come from people who have citizenship and a lot of income to fish for raw garbage in the corner of a garbage dump.

By and large, those without a place to live (Sumika) die in the winter, and the cities are gathering peasant collapse as the snow melts.

It seems it is maintained in perfect balance with the population of the city.

By the way, the population of Wang Capital is about 5500 houses, 30,000 people, etc.

And about 60% of the civilians in it have citizenship.

This has the "king's knee" circumstance of being the king's capital, which seems to be of a higher standard than a normal city.

…… public health and nutritional value are also important, but it is cold anyway……

If you don't raise the cold, you die.

In front of this reality, hygiene, nutritional value, etc. would be next in two.

I felt the cold of cutting myself, and I thought of a way to keep warm.

I have an idea.

"Rocket Stove."

This is a very thermally efficient firewood stove created in the first place to improve living standards in developing countries.

It is very simple to make, just pipe through the J-shape inside the outer frame and fill the gap with insulation.

If I wanted to make it, I could only make it with a L-shaped chimney sold in a dozen cans and a home center.

I've done my own thing with the kids, so the structure is perfect.

I use light stones like nan and lights sold at the home center for insulation... if you don't mind the weight, it's fine with the sand around it.

A rocket stove would make the structure simple, and even a blacksmith in the kingdom of Amoros would make it possible.

It was invented in the first place for poor countries with low technical levels, so it is precisely hit and put on.

The structure is simple, but the size is also freely available.

It would be great heating with radiation heat if it were to be enlarged and the chimney stretched all over the room.

Some people in the world should have applied radiation heat from the chimney to create a strange back seat called a "heated bench".

If a rocket stove that can be miniaturized and carried is popular, there should be fewer frozen deaths at once.

The rocket stove should have less smoke emission and should be able to eliminate the smokiness in the mansion.

Personally, it's pretty hard to keep getting smoked (a lot) during 46: 00.

However, there is one problem… There is nothing else to show the real thing to tell you that this is good, but it cannot be produced with my financial strength or connection, which is a seven-year-old kid.

You'll end up with "kid bullshit" where I explained it desperately.

…… I want to grow up soon………

I think about the same thing as a seven-year-old.

Well, fine. Now is the time to accumulate ideas.

You just have to try it when the time comes.

I decided to split up and think.

Rocket stoves and the like would be groundbreaking inventions.

A little bit, enough to be a feat in itself.

It's a bit of a waste of time for someone else to steal it.

Get some credit and gain territory, let's keep the idea warm until then.

Rudolph followed a few of his squire out when I was staring at the snow.

We went to the Royal Palace to greet the New Year's Eve.

The Royal Palace is a fortress-like building with barbecued tiles on a martial bone stone wall.

"Warm this winter, that's a good thing"

Zillow called out unexpectedly.

Let Zillow tell you, he's warm in this cold... he's dressed like a barbarian named Fur on his short sleeve.

"What is it? You didn't go to the royal palace?

During the winter months, it is inhibited by snow and there is little that can be done... it is boring.

The other squires should have been making a scene about wanting to go to the royal palace to see the boredom.

"Hehe, if this Zillow is in Lioncool's mansion, he's a squire. He can be prestigious, but if he makes it easier to get to the Royal Palace, he's a jury... and he's a servant again."

"That's boring," Zillow said.

Well, he seems to have some kind of restraint.

But there's really not much we can do during the winter months.

There is no entertainment in the kingdom of Amoros.

Even hunting, which was fall fun, was snowy.

Everyone is so bored that they are so excited about their children's songs.

The fuss over meals and the apparent sexuality will be due in part to the low level of entertainment.

It took me a little while to realize this fact to get to the church library if I had time.

"Let's think about some room play."

"That's a good one. I'll make it easier to ask for a busy one."

Zillow laughed with pleasure.

There's no such thing as normal for me in this land.

Entertainment must have been a luxury in human history.

... Chess, Trump, Reversi, Double Six... I wonder what else happened?

I remember blurry table games.

The snow builds.

The snow melt is still far away.
