Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"Oh, it's a beautiful river. I've never seen a river so beautiful."

"Really? I think it's a normal river..."

The morning after it rained on the village.

Ichigo and Barletta had come to the river that the villagers were coming to fetch water.

The road was much flat until it came to this river, and the ground was like a dry, cracked wilderness.

Short grasses grow around the river, but tall trees and grasses do not.

The river is about five meters wide, and the water is so clear and beautiful that it is unthinkable in modern Japan.

Even at its deepest depth, is it roughly a meter or so?

"A few months ago there were more river widths and more water, but the sunshine made it much thinner"

"I see... but it's nice to have a river within walking distance of the village, but it's a pretty hard distance to carry water back and forth again and again"

It takes half an hour to walk from the village to get here, so if it comes to carrying water back and forth, it will take more than an hour.

Then you should draw the water of the river directly to the village, but the water surface of the river is subtly low and the water cannot be drawn.

Even if we draw water from more upstream, the direction on the river is bent farther away from the village, and we cannot create an aqueduct by helping that there are hills and other obstacles along the way, or that there are no tools of all sorts.

"Can I even bring this as a water absorption pump for firefighting... but"

We have to pull the river water into the village somehow, but it is difficult to pull the water using only the tools that are in the village.

So I also thought I'd bring a gas engine water absorption pump from Japan, but it's just over-tech for as much as it takes.

Except for situations like pulling water now or the dead will be out, but thanks to the rain that fell yesterday, we also store up to half the water in the storage pond, so we should be fine for a while.

If I could, I would have liked to open up this situation with tools and means that could also be made with human technology in this world.

He thought that he would surely work in a better direction for the village and for himself in the future.

"Mr. Barletta, have you ever heard of a water wheel?

"Shh... I've never heard of it. What is it like?

"Eh, it's a trick tool to put a big wooden wheel vertically in the river and turn the wheel with the power of a stream of water,"

"Hmmm... I've never seen or heard of it"

Ichiyoshi explained to Barletta as she painted on the ground using the stone that had fallen, but she had never seen it at all.

If you've seen it, there must be technicians in this world who build waterwheels as well, so I was thinking I'd go ask that person to make it, but thank goodness I can't seem to do it at the moment.

"Really... then we'll have to build our own water wheels... we can't. I don't think it's easy to make amateurs."

I thought for a moment that I would be able to work with the villagers to manage to build a water wheel, but I immediately dismiss the idea.

Regardless of the size of the waterway that combines wooden plates, there is no way that a device that requires a precise design like a waterwheel can be made.

I've seen a water wheel about once, but when it comes to making it, it's different.

With no know-how or anything, the world of craftsmanship is not so sweet that all of a sudden an amateur can build a water wheel.

"Oh, you know, if it seems difficult, we'll do something ourselves..."

I thought about it with a difficult face. For one thing, Barletta hesitates to speak up.

But the village became so miserable because nothing happened.

To Barletta, who looked a little anxious, Ichigo said, "It's okay," and smiled.

"Let's decide to bring the waterwheel from my country. Return soon..."

Ichirano said that much, remembering that there was one, he took one peach can (domestic) out of the bag he had.

"Oh, Momoka, is it?

"Yeah, it's a corner, so let's say we eat some chilled peaches in this river before we head back to the village"

Once Yiliang reached the riverside, he put a can of peaches in the water and fixed it with surrounding stones to avoid being flushed.

The water in the river flowing from the distant mountains is cold, and for this minute we are likely to have cold peaches soon.

"But didn't you hand out all the peach cans to the villagers yesterday?

"Yes, I do, but I actually have one more. I brought it here to eat."

Of course, I have one handed out to Barletta's house, but it was decided that Barletta and I would eat it instead of breakfast, based on a good proprietary idea that "I have extra corners, and the delicious ones taste better with my pretty daughter".

Forgive me, village chief.

"Speaking of which, wouldn't we have to worry about water if we moved the village closer to the river?

Ichiyoshi, who was sitting there chilling a can of peaches and looking at the river, uttered a fuzzy, raised question.

I often find it inconvenient to live in a place where I have to go to fetch water to a remote river whenever a drought occurs.

"Right. But when it rains as little as it does now, it's okay, but when it rains too much, the river is often flooded and dangerous."

"I see," Yiliang nodded to Barletta's words, who came next door and sat down as well.

Too little rain and drought at this time of year, but at another time, too much rain and flooding, what a difficult land to live in.

"Besides, we can't move the village anywhere other than where Lord Narson has designated us, so we have to be where we are now."

I've heard it several times before, but since the name of a person named Narson came up here again, I decided to ask him what position he was in.

"Is Nalson a lord or something around here?

"Yeah, he's a nobleman who's been depositing and governing this area from the royal family. He's the head of the brave Istael family, and he's been very active in the war ahead."

"(Oh, is there a nobleman or a royal family? I wonder if there's also a big castle or a knighthood)"

One man's delusions are inflated by words that have only been heard in Japan in the news of very few countries, such as royalty and nobility.

"What's wrong?

And Valletta peeked into a good face.

My face is pretty close and I can light it up a little.

"Oh, no, it's nothing. So, are the ruling villages delivering crops, etc?

"Yes, you have to deliver the crop specified at a set time. It was such a terrible drought that there were few crops that I could deliver... but it was time for Master Narson to come and see how things were going."

"By the way, if you can't deliver the crop, is there something like a penalty?

"I do. Houses that fail to deliver a fixed amount of crops will be forfeited"

"I guess so," snorted Ichigo to Baretta's answer.

Failure to do so will result in punishment, naturally.

"Eh, even in a natural disaster like this one, will your property be confiscated?

Yes, that's the problem.

If you can't pay a prescribed amount of crops in normal times and you're going to be punished, you can't help it, but if you're a lord doing the same thing until an emergency, it's two choices: idiot or livestock who doesn't think anything of it.

If a nobleman like Narson was an idiot or a livestock, it could be quite a hassle.

"It seems different there for each region. When a natural disaster strikes, Master Narson should carefully examine the magnitude of the damage before re-directing the amount of crop to be delivered. When the crop was defective three years ago, he asked us to cut the tree in the woods and deliver the wood instead of the crop."

When I heard that, Ichigo was horrified.

A nobleman named Narson seems like a lord who rules with proper village in mind, so if things were too bad like this one, I'm sure he wouldn't tell you to deliver the crop.

If they tell you to hand over the wood, you can handle it in a situation where you're understaffed if you bring an iron axe from Japan, and if you have to, you can bring a chainsaw, or if you still can't, you can buy the wood in Japan.

"But I've heard that Dear Diaz, who is ruling the neighboring area, is a relentless punisher, even if he couldn't take the crop because of natural disasters. Rumor has it that the young man is sold off by the slave trader, and the clever woman is sold off by the slave trader as well after having eaten it as a gaming opponent until she gets tired of it"

"Yeah... you do that a lot and there won't be a revolt... won't you be blamed by the royal family?

He is an extremely evil aristocrat who is likely to come out with games and comic book settings.

I'm sure he looks like a vicious creature wearing a luxurious ring or something if he hadn't fattened him up for the first time, imagine him on his own.

"Yes, but it seems that Dear Diaz is very good at business and he doesn't say anything to the royal family either because he dedicates a considerable amount of money to it. And they have a lot of private soldiers, and they can't really get bees up."

In other words, as a human being, it's quite an outside road, but gold earners seem to be good aristocrats.

And I realized I was talking a lot shady even though I was going to eat a peach can with a cute girl looking at a beautiful river around the corner.

"Well, it's about time the peach can got cold. Shall we eat?"

"Ah, yes. Right."

It's getting some stinky air, but if you eat a can of peaches, the air will be brighter too.

Yiliang pulls up the peach can from the river, pulls the pull top and opens the can, removes the plastic fork from the bag and hands it to Barletta along with the open can.

Half first, please.

"Huh? But I can't have it before Mr. Kazura..."

Encourage Barletta to grate with the cans she's given to eat, "Fine, fine, fine."

Barletta, frightened, "Thank you," she thanked, stabbing a peach with a fork and sipping.

"- Huh!?

"What do you say? Pretty good, isn't it?

Baretta nods violently at the good question as she mouths the peaches and makes her eyes black and white.

"It's so sweet! I've never eaten anything so sweet and delicious!

"That's good. My share is fine, you can eat it all."

Fruits and the like may also be found in this world, but I guess nothing is as deliciously varietal and improved as this peach.

Seeing Barletta's much excitement, Ichigo decided to give up all the peach cans to Barletta.

"What, that's just..."

That being said, even though Ichigo unwittingly blows out to Barletta, who is alternating between a peach can in his hand and Ichigo.

"Well, it's a reward for the hard work you've been working on, Mr. Barletta. Please eat."

and Ichigo recommends,

"Uh... I'll have it then"

And as she turned red and lit up, she pampered herself with joy.

Yiliang, who enjoyed eating Valletta's peaches, said as soon as he returned to the village, "I will arrange a water wheel" and returned to Japan, where he was coming directly to the factory to look up the factory manufacturing the water wheel in an online search of his cell phone and place an order.

"Uh, you're a water truck. If you specify a size, accessories for discharging water will be attached to this grade on a special order, so the delivery will cost 3 million yen in 20 days."

Showing the expanded catalogue, the president, who seems to be a good person with mixed gray hair in his hair, explains the production period with distinctive colors.

All the water trucks in the catalogue taste good and seem to fit well into the country landscape.

"I have a little situation and I need it as soon as possible. Can't you manage to make it in a week because it doesn't matter how expensive it is? I would like it to be delivered in excellent condition for each part because the assembly is done on its own."

"Yes, is it a week? Exactly... we don't have much manpower, and 15 days is the limit, no matter how quickly."

"Do something there. We'll give you 5 million yen in advance and another 5 million yen on delivery, so what can we do? You can have the shipping cost here."

When Ichigo presents an incredible amount of more than three times the normal price of 10 million yen in total, the president gives a surprise look,

"Hey, can you give me a minute!? I'll be right back!

and said no nicely, then left the reception room while I took out my phone.

Ichirano sipped the tea that had been served and waited for about ten minutes looking at the catalogue thinking, "I wonder how much anything I can do for a week," and the president came back nicking.

"Shino, I've managed to have a purpose to deliver in a week. If the amount you offer, we will deliver it on delivery time without losing any quality"

"What, is that true?

"Yeah, I could get some backup from an engineering firm I know, so I can handle it"

Upon hearing that reply, Ichigo quickly took the check out of his nostalgia and filled in the amount he had just presented and gave it to the president.

I was a little impressed to be able to fulfill the dream of a common man who wanted to try one day: fill out a check and give it to Pong.

"Thank you, we will now transport you to the address you specify in a week"

"Yes, please. Shipping costs should be charged together upon delivery"

"Even in such a recession, there are people with good feathers," the president shrugged.

"Eh, 30 hand axes, 20 scarecrows, 60 lawn mowing sickles, four shovels and a tsuruhashi on a flat claw... are you even leading the pioneering team?

"Uh, well, that's the thing. Please pay by card"

After the factory, Yiliang had purchased a large quantity of farm tools at the home center.

In all the wooden farm tools in the village, the farming is too inefficient and wasteful to cause fatigue, so I wanted to give them to the villagers.

It can't be transported to that amount at once, and the clerk helps me to transport it back and forth to the store and the parking lot many times to the car.

But it was just too much to get him in the car at once, and he ended up renting a truck and going back and forth between the mansion and the home center twice.

Because of this so impressive behavior, the clerks who were there were given the nickname "pioneering team leader", but there was no reason to know that.
