Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

About three hours after leaving the ranch.

Ichiran was in a conference corner of a construction company in the province.

In one good face, a middle-aged man in the uniform of this company is looking at a large amount of paperwork spread out on the table with a rugged look.

A man's business card was placed on the table on one side of the good, and next to the man's name was' Assistant Manager 'and the title.

The documents that are spread out on the table are copies of the documents on river works that Ichigo has brought from Isteria.

I copied all the paperwork I had in the convenience store on my way to this construction company.

"You know, all of a sudden, I'm having trouble with you telling me to bring this stuff and make a water treatment plan."

The assistant manager opened his mouth with a really unpleasant look as he raised his face from the paperwork.

"For the most part, what do you do when you don't actually carry out construction but you make a construction plan? Besides, you said earlier that the technology to be used is limited to what you specify, but as far as what's written here is concerned, you mean to plan the construction using only the techniques of ancient civilization, right?

"No, I'm really sorry I made a weird request all of a sudden. But I really need a water treatment plan for these terrains. Can't you take it on somehow?

When Ichiyoshi asked him to do so while lowering his head, the assistant manager deposited his back on the back of the chair with a sigh of sigh.

The atmosphere conveys a hint that he thinks of a good thing as' the troubled one '.

"Shino, you should ask a college teacher or something like this who's studying ancient technology. Don't you think it's usually a little odd to ask a company that actually does civil engineering work for a plan?

"That's true, but I still thought that when it comes to making detailed plans, it would be better to ask people like you who are always involved in actual construction to do something more accurate... plus, there was a little reason, and we don't have much time. Depending on the duration of the construction, we need a plan as soon as possible…"

When Ichirano said so, a surprised look appeared on the assistant manager's face.

"As soon as possible... why do you need a plan so quickly when you don't actually do the work? Are you going to use the plan to write some kind of paper or something?

"Uh, that's..."

"Hey, you're talking about something funny."

When Ichigo was cramped with answers, a gray-haired man, seen as quite old, talked from behind Ichigo.

"Oh, this is a big old construction drawing? It's got letters I've never seen, but it's a solid drawing."

When the older man sat next to the good by saying "Excuse me for a moment," he began to look at the documents that Yilian had brought with him intrigue.

"What, the tools and technologies used are limited to the following… Hmm, what is the content of this, about 2000 BC in the Middle East or the level of technology per Europe? That's a lot bigger. What country?

"Oh, uh, director, I'll take care of this..."

Hmm. The assistant manager, who was talking to Ichiya earlier, speaks to the older man, who nods and reads the documents on the table one after the other, in a bewildered manner.

This older man is apparently a director of this company.

Quite the executive.

"The response sounded like I had no intention of contracting work because of what you just said. What the hell is that attitude when a customer brings me a job and you keep your head down?

"But, you know, whatever the content is... bring a drawing that you don't even know when it's from, and make a construction plan that doesn't actually even work, but only uses the old methods, etc..."

"You idiot!!

When the assistant manager said so, the director yelled at him with an awesome sword screen with blue muscles floating around his forehead.

The yelled assistant manager was next to the director, and he suddenly turned away.

"Whether we do construction or not, this customer's request will be in our hands! You're choosing a job for a good reason!! I'll take care of it later, so you go back to your job already!!

When the director took such a breath, he kicked the assistant manager out of the conference corner with momentum.

From the aisle peeking through the conference corner, passing employees who heard the director's stupid, yelling voice are turning a gaze at something.

"Uh, so can you take this matter...?

Though a little kidded by the series of developments that passed like a storm, he speaks out to the director who is bumping into him in an indignant manner and saying, "These guys at all are..."

The voiced director immediately softened his expression, smiling nicely and showing it.

"Oh, I don't know what it's like not to hear more about it, but there's nothing you can't do."

"Oh, that's good! Now, this is the content of the construction plan that you would like to draw up…"

"Tell me a little before you do. What country does this drawing belong to? It doesn't seem to be the right size for ancient Greece, or similar to Cartago or around Assyria... I'm afraid I can't even consider what country it is."

The director asked nicely, with a wrinkle between his eyebrows, but sending a really interesting gaze to the drawing.

Those eyes are full of curiosity, like a child who was bought a toy he loved.

"Oh, those are, they're all fake ancient drawings,"

When Ichigo replied so, the director gave a slightly surprised look.

"Well, are these all crops"

"Yeah, based on the ancient drawings of those crops, I'd like to do a water cure plan for a river that goes through the city. The contents of the drawings show that depending on the rainfall, some embankments will be destroyed, and I would like you to prepare a plan to improve them."

"... hmm? That's changed a lot again...... Aah! You mean that! I see."

The director, who had heard a good explanation and had a strange look, nodded with a striking hand as to whether any points had been made.

"But what didn't you bring a job request in the name of a national research institute? You don't normally realize I brought this stuff under my personal name."

"Huh? Um, what the hell are national research institutes talking about?

I have no idea what the director is talking about, and Ichigo asks the director back.

"Mm, no, so that's it. This was originally about bringing it to me, wasn't it?

"Huh?"

"So I'm the former Department of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's River Bureau..."

"... ah! It's not something like that, it's something I do personally… it's like a hobby, so to speak."

When Ichiya, who guessed something, said so to the director who seemed to mistake it for something else, a slightly hurried look appeared on the director's face.

"... well. No, I'm sorry I said something weird. Forget what I just said."

"This is me, and I'm sorry I did you a weird favor. Thank you very much."

When Ichigo said so and bowed his head, the director also bowed his head when he was caught.

There has been some strange exchange, but I will not dwell on the details of what its sincerity is.

There are many things in the adult world.

Three hours after Yiliang started a construction plan meeting with the directors.

After crude completion of the necessary explanations, Ichigo was finally taking a breath.

In Yi Liang's face, the director sips tea looking at a photograph handed to Yi Liang earlier.

All of the pictures were taken by Ichigo in Isteria, and all of the pictures are from rivers and earthworks.

In the past, the water increased and the earthwork was decimated, and the river was taken in a drawing from the high ground.

"The one with the CG these days looks really real. You can't tell from the photos you actually took."

"That's right. Technological advances are amazing."

I sipped a sip of tea as I gaveled at the director looking at the photo in a way that impressed me.

It explains to the director that all the photographs I gave him were made of CG synthesis.

While the director voices surprise at the content of the photo, he doesn't seem to have any doubt that it is a CG.

The director looks pretty old, so maybe he's unnecessarily oblivious to those things.

"But you've done a really brilliant job of soldiers in armor and stone buildings everywhere in this picture. Is this all CG, too?

"Oh, they're some of them synthesized using real buildings and humans, like real kids with CGs."

The director nodded "ho ho ho ho" for a proper explanation of how it seemed.

When the director looked at the photograph frequently, he put the photograph on the table and turned to it.

"Now it's time to talk about money and delivery times. With all this volume, it takes a lot of time to prepare a plan, but how much time do you get?

"Right...... I want you to make a plan with the setting of actually doing construction, so I want you to make a plan so that we can figure it out by May of next year with the setting that the rainy season starts. The man-hours…"

"Dude, whatever it is, it won't be unscrupulous until next May. At this scale, construction needs to be done on an annual basis."

To a good dialogue, the director pointed out with a sinister look.

It is now mid-August, so when construction is to be completed by May of next year, there is only about eight months that can be used to draw up the plan and construct it.

Incidentally, the word 'man-hours', which comes out earlier, refers to the amount of work involved in the preparation of the construction plan.

In the case of this exchange, the directors are wondering how much time they can spend working on it.

"Oh, no, it only means renovation work at the site of this flood. The rest of the construction will be on hand after the rainy season, so first, please only ask for the part where you think flooding may occur in the next rainy season"

"You mean that? Then the brittle spot will be completely refurbished as a matter of priority, and the place will be temporarily reinforced in time. What about man-hours?

"Eh, I'm an amateur in civil engineering and I don't know how much man-hours I need...... for now, at 1h or this much, what about overall man-hours like this"

Based on his experience with outsourcing design requests from a company he previously worked for, Ichigo makes a proposal by stating the amount somewhat collected in the notebook he had at hand.

h means time, and overall ○ ○ ○ h means up to ○ ○ hours that directors can use to prepare the plan.

"Whoa, whatever it takes. That would be too much out there. That's 70% fine. It's a jump in project, so it's still a little expensive. So, the delivery date of the plan should be within the time frame for construction at a specific location by the rainy season, right? The contents of the plan will also be given priority in specific locations, so it will be handed over several times and will take shape."

"Yeah, so please. And then, when we do the construction, if we're looking at the plan, we want to make sure that even ancient humans can do the construction. I would appreciate more illustrations and descriptions of the structure..."

"That's kind of an elaborate story... well, I'll do something about it. Anyway, I'm in my spare time, and I love these time-honoured stories. And make the man-hours I've just been offered tentative. I've never had a special job like this before, too, so I might stick out. I don't think that's gonna double it."

"Okay. Then you can use your man-hours up to double the original."

When Ichirano said so, the director gave a surprised look.

"That's generous of you. That would be a good amount of money, but can you really pay it?

"You can pay. If you want, you can transfer half of it now as an advance."

When Ichiyoshi said with a cool face, the director shook his head, smiling bitterly, no, no.

"No, I'm sorry I said something I doubt. But I don't get half of it before work. But this is the first time I've gotten a job from you, and do I need to get an advance?"

"Then why don't we just transfer 10% of our overall man-hours?

"Well, let's just say I ask for it."

The director nodded and removed the paper printed 'Order Request' from the shelf that was at the edge of the conference corner.

There, the job description contracted from Ichigo is written in a run, and the contractor's field is filled in with a good name.

"I'm going to talk to the Production Control Department for a second, so just stay put. Because I'll be back as soon as I can."

When the director said so, he left the conference corner with the order request.

Then another two hours later.

I ate my time talking about gold and the delivery format, and by the time Ichigo left the company after breaking up with the director, the area was dark.

"I'm tired... but I'm glad he took it..."

In requesting the preparation of a water treatment plan, Ichigo was going to go around the building company gradually until he could find a contractor to undertake it.

At the time I was about to be stuck by the assistant manager in the first place, I was about to give up half my request for this company, but it was helpful that a former director from the River Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism came.

Perhaps that director is free every day in his capacity as if he only has his seat in the company in shape.

Nevertheless, you must be an elite talent when it comes to working for the former Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

I'm sure they'll make a solid construction plan, as they seem to be interested in big old building techniques and such.

"Well, shall we go to the hotel now? You can buy it out tomorrow."

Too tired, Ichigo manipulates the navigation to search for the nearest business hotel in an attempt to decide to roll over to tomorrow for the rest of the appointments to be made today.

And as I was driving according to the navigation, I noticed that there was a large electric store ahead.

"... an electrician, huh"

Ichiyoshi muttered with a slightly contemplative look as he slowed down the car, cutting the handle and entering the electric store parking lot.
