The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)
Tranquility before the storm
After completing my morning routine, I went to work on my feet.
When I rendezvoused with Yudham in front of the laundromat... his eyes were dead this morning.
“Good morning. Did you find anything?”
"As usual, no, just because it's the same as usual... I'm confused that I'm losing my sense of discomfort with the store manager's magic"
Oh, I see.
Collect this water and float the ship over it.Moreover, if it was maintained for more than an hour while cleaning the road and clearing snow, it would still be quite tricky for a typical wizard, both magically and technically.
He saw me doing it flat, and he fooled through.
He seems to be getting used to it.
Then there will be no problem, so let's get rid of the ship and get to work.
This morning's workplace is at the end of my nose and eyes from my shop.It is a "residential area" located to the east of the city, and it is a manual (...) snow removal work.I've been using slime magic since early in the morning, but it's snowing all over the city, so that's where I need to clear the snow.
But now, if you're going to snow, why don't you just go ahead and clean up the boat?
"It's true that there's a difference between manual work and magic, but even though it's a small boat, it's hard to get into a narrow path, and if you do it in every corner of the city, it doesn't have magic power."
It's not good to gulp down magic recovery potions, and snow removal in that way is basically limited to a small number of people in the early morning, somewhat large streets, and places with insufficient manpower.
If it gets any brighter, the adventurer or the official arranged by the guild.The people in the city will also start working on their own, so you don't have to do anything. ”
"That's true, too." I mean, magic power is going to run out normally.Since I've been doing this since early in the morning, I was wondering if the ship had some kind of magic tool, or if there was some way to supply magic, such as hiding magic stones as a source of magic power. "
I didn't mean to bother you that much, did I?
"You know, it didn't feel like that at all.... no, it's usually easier to be convinced when you're told that you're doing petty crafting with such tricks and potions... "
Yudham-san is struggling... I didn't say "no tricks".
By the way, snow removal operations are prone to accidents.
Underneath, snow slipped off the roof, causing injury, or the weight of the snow made it impossible to move.
During work at heights, of course, the fall falls into a snowy area and is buried, making it impossible to get out.
Since there are many cases of such accidents, it is important to work with multiple people as well as pay attention and prepare.
And while we're talking about it, we're almost there.
Shall we start around here?
"Yeah, I got it."
Start work on residential streets that have not yet been cleared of snow.
First, as Yudam-san seems to be used to it, he opens the lid of the drainage side gutter.
There I am.
Please do it again today.
Ask the filter slime taken out by spatial magic to seal both ends of the side gutter, and from the same water bottle taken out, "swage (sewage) slime" and "sludge (sludge) slime" are added.
These two are poisonous magic aqua slimes that evolutionize sewage, while mud slimes evolve into sludge, releasing bad odors like scavenger slimes.The rest is not much different from the previous evolution of Aqua Slime and Mad Slime.
The two types of ice slimes are “just dirty?”, as people say, “Ice slimes are just cold and frozen in Aqua Slime?”, and the slimes wonder if they really evolved.
Before the cold wave, they did all the cleaning work, and it was also a slime that could be used to clean the dove.
After all, sewage and sludge are the staple food, so if you put them in the side gutter, they will take care of meals = cleaning.Well-equipped spaces can also help with sewerage and large-scale sewerage. There's more.
Shopkeeper? Is something wrong?
Ah, no, it's okay!
No, I was immersed in the use of slime. I'm at work now.
Switching the mood, the "black powder" previously presented to the gods was mixed into the sticky curing liquid plate in the side groove, and the "light absorbing heat generating plate" was mounted on the copper tube corresponding to the width of the side groove, and multiple solar heating water heaters, commonly known as "solar heating water heaters", were installed.
This can greatly improve the efficiency of snow removal work by melting and accumulating the snow thrown into the side gutter, raising the water temperature sufficiently to melt the snow, and replacing it with a device called a "snow melter" that throws away the snow.
... However, this device is a very simple structure in which the plate receives light and generates heat, and transfers that heat from the copper tube to the water in the side gutter to warm it. Personally, it is still unfinished.Even if it's not as good as a solar heater used in Japan, I think we can devise a little more.
However, this time, after preparing a prototype and discussing it with the commercial guilds of Grisiela,
The calorific value of the heating plate is large, which is sufficient for use.It is even more efficient when used in combination with light magic.
There are quite a few workers, especially adventurers, who are not wizards, but only "lights", the beginning of light magic for lights.
Because of the simple structure, even city artisans can manufacture copper pipe parts = mass production is possible.
Increase overall worker efficiency by mass-producing and deploying throughout the city.
· For now, snow loading measures are preferred over completion.
As a result, the commercial guild asked the craftsmen to mass produce copper tubes without ultimately improving them.And I lent it to the Commercial Guild as long as I could make a heating plate (...). The commercial guild manages the two combined water heaters, and the story is gathered in the form of having the workers use them.
The heat-generating plates are loaned because they are still experimental tools, although they are necessary for the city, and we are not thinking of selling them at this time.In the future, I think that if I get permission from Reinhardt and the others, I will make an improved water heater and make a public bath.
Even with the current simple water heater, the copper pipe section becomes hotter than the hood of a car on a hot summer day.It would not be possible to combine the improvement and efficiency of the water heater itself with a large kamado.I don't know if I can continue as a business without experimentation and estimation.....
That's it!
After installation of the water heater, simple manual labor.I just snowed normally.
If it's a simple task, your body moves as you think.
Snow is pushed into the side gutter with a "tool with a dump tip" made of plastic and taken out by spatial magic.After that, the water heater in the side gutter, the water, and the slimes melt.
The filter slime filters more water and pours it into the tip of the side gutter, so it does not overflow.The work progresses crisply and comfortably.
"Oh, good morning."
"Oh, good morning, Grandma."
While I was working, Yudham was being called out by her grandmother who had come out of her house.
"You've been snowing in front of my house already, thank you so much... then I'll do the snowing."
"Grandma, are you going to climb the roof?Then I'll do it because it's dangerous. "
"Eh, I'm sorry that you did it in front of the house.Besides, my ankles and hips are pretty tight. "
"It's okay." Mr. Store Manager! "
"Yes, I was listening to you."I can't just walk into a private property, so I used to just clear snow from the roads, but if my grandmother is okay, I'll gladly do it.We also have tools for snowing the roof. ”
With regard to tools for snow removal or snow control, based on my experience with heavy snow in my previous life, I checked them on the Internet and video sites for a while, so I tried to reproduce them as far as I could recall.
Personally, I think it is particularly easy to use when snowing. It is a tool that can efficiently snow by attaching a snow-cutting metal fitting and a waterproof cloth to the tip of a long stick, and sliding the cut snow mass on the cloth.
"And now it's an emergency."As proof, we can get paid by the guild for a post-mortem.That's why the government subsidies are coming out, and the client, in this case, won't have to pay for the grandmother, so it's a good deal. "
Is that so?
"Yes, yes, so don't hesitate to leave the snow to us."
”Well then... let's do you a favor”
So I decided to unload the snow from my grandmother's house, but during the preparation,
"That old lady seems to hate being treated like an old man.I need to be careful. "
The old lady sneaked out a message so she wouldn't hear me.
What if Yudham had instantly grasped it and taken it to the subsidy?
I took the story somewhat forcefully, but my grandmother didn't seem upset either.
Moreover, he was lightly coping with the unnecessary demands of someone during snow plowing operations.
Yudham-san feels a little lighter in his words and deeds, but he's basically a kind and kind person, and is he sensitive to emotions, or is he better at distancing himself from people?I often feel that way when I'm acting together.
By the way, did something happen recently, Mr. Manager?
What is it?
"I thought maybe the store manager was starting to tingle like before."
...... I really, really notice people. I didn't mean to put it on my face or attitude.
"I'm not going to do anything like before, either, but I feel like I'm in a bad mood..."
"I see... I thought it was calm these days."I don't feel a strange gaze when I'm with you, and above all, it's this snow.Even if the enemy is planning something, this snow must be unexpectedly disturbing. "
”That may be true, but... if I'm in the opponent's shoes (......), I'll set it up as soon as I'm ready.”
Attempts to verbalize the vague sensations within you.
"Well, it's certainly been a very mild day here lately.But on the contrary, it's disgusting... like the silence before the storm... In the first place, the enemy's aim is to harass the Duke's house. In short, it's from a personal grudge or something, right?And yet, instead of directly targeting the Duke's family, he's ravaging the city and discrediting the Duke's family.
Raids and the like are beyond the scope of harassment and may be easy to reach, but more than that, the other person who is directing this plan is not thinking about the rough city.No, it's like, "If you want to reach your goal, you don't have to hesitate to involve irrelevant people."
"... yes, it's no trouble for the people of the city."In fact, when I came to this city, the atmosphere was even worse, there were more burglaries, and it was not wrong to involve irrelevant people. "
"That's right." Will such an opponent give up without reaching the goal?I don't think so. [M]
Moreover, the impact of the enemy's activities in Gimmel has been contained for now, and we hear that Reinhardt and his family are moving in the capital.If this is from the enemy, you can say that the plan is not working and that you are being pushed further into a situation where you might catch yourself in the tail.
I say "bite the poor cat", and it's possible that an enemy who has been pushed will set something up by abandoning him... no, I think it's quite expensive. "
Because the more you think about the other person, the more you think about the other person, the more you think about it.
“The heavy snowfall may have been unexpected and intrusive to the enemy.However, we are also almost unexpectedly in a situation where sudden heavy snowfall has forced us to respond.If there's no more to come, maybe one or eight, maybe we'll go to the final battle...?I don't know for sure. "
When I told her that, Yudham seemed convinced.
"It's conceivable that if we show caution, it will pierce the gap."All right, I'll be more vigilant. "
"Thank you. If nothing happened, nothing happened, just be prepared."We have also requested that emergency response manuals be re-checked at various locations concerned... for now, that's about it.
As Yudham said, it is true that it is relatively calm now, and it is good to be relaxed in calm.... or else, it's going to be like before again... "
As for me, I don't want to go back to that state of black history.
But somehow, if I'm not sure, I'd appreciate it if he would take it seriously.Of course, so are all the other allies... but with them around, I think I can just relax and be as rushed as I was then.
