Why don't you build a village on top of the world tree

"Thank you for being with us today, upon request of Cateo"

Following the apology of the Mayor of Cateo, who combined his opening remarks, the Mayor's Meeting attendees responded with applause.

"What, you're talking about us tomorrow, Mr. Cateo?"

The mayor of Hedgeway Township speaks out in light condition and looks around at attendees.

"Besides, we had to get together without Mr. Cateo."

"Right."

I see Mayor Cateo while I affirm what Mayor Hedgeway said.

"Nevertheless, there are circumstances that I can't leave Takakus for too long either. I'm sorry, but I need you to get down to business right away."

Construction is only about 30% of the way through.

A two-year-old in the village of Kubesta said, "Can't we still? I don't have to get upset when you ask." We need to get him out of the inn quickly.

Mayor Hedgway looked at me and said something as he stroked his jaw, but he saw Mayor Kateo without saying anything.

"A Tacax worker is suffering withdrawal symptoms from work addiction. Shall we get down to business early? Having said that, no prior adjustment of opinion has also been made at this emergency meeting. Mr. Cateo, are you sure you want to follow the report for a more detailed explanation of the damage?

"Oh, the situation is as described in that report."

"... I guess in my heart. So, what's the reason for the meeting?

To Mayor Hedgeway's question, Mayor Kateo rocks his white hair.

"This disaster caused management difficulties. We can't even take measures to alleviate overpopulation, and if the situation doesn't change, we'll destroy it within 100 years."

A hundred years. Long-term span.

I don't know if there's a lot of room, but even Mayor Katella can only sustain it for a hundred years because he's the Mayor of Cateo, who shows managerial skill enough to wrap his tongue around it. If I were Mayor Kateo, I wouldn't have ten years.

As far as the report goes, I have no idea how you're going to let it last a hundred years from here.

I should have brought Richay, I think when I saw the empty seat next door. I'm asking Richay to leave a message this time because I don't have enough Takakus manpower.

"Can you sustain it for a hundred years? The boulder is Mayor Kateo, and I'd like to compliment him."

One of the mayors surrounding the conference desk laughs bitterly.

"Return the back, and even Mayor Kateo will finally maintain it. If we don't make a calculation to change the situation in the meantime, the population of the town of Cateo will become 4,000 refugees."

There was also a big time bomb.

Mayor Kateo shrugged and bowed his head "faceless".

"For the purpose of convening this meeting, but after building a bridge with Tacax and forming a direct transportation network, we made plans to transform the fields of the town of Kateo into a massive herbal garden. I need your help."

"Oh, I see."

I accidentally make a convincing noise, and I panic and cough and delude.

The mayor of Hedgeway looks at us in a hurry.

"Mr. Takakus, can you explain?

"Uh..."

When I saw Mayor Kateo, he nodded silently. I guess it's because it's easier for me to have meetings afterwards for what I expect to talk about without hiding the disadvantages than the proponent, Mayor Kateo, to talk about it.

"My city of Tacax prides itself on being one of the largest producers of food. There are many fields and many agricultural workers"

"You're also investing in varietal improvement. Our town has a specialty shop for food from Tacax City."

When one mayor said, so did we, some mayor raised his hand.

I'll keep talking.

So, given the ability to supply food, it's possible to stably export food for 4,000 people in the town of Cateo.

"That's awesome. Tacax City has a population of about a thousand and five hundred, right?

"We now have over two thousand people. Many people don't have fields, but if you still have four thousand, that's fine."

Moreover, food production capacity is still growing. If I could develop a kind of agricultural tool from now on, I would stretch it even further, but now I will discount it.

"That's my Takakus, but I don't have enough doctors. In addition, there is little experience in cultivating herbs, etc., and residents are unable to reach out."

"That's where the town of Cateo sells herbs."

The mayor of Hedgeway speaks half of the conclusions.

While I snort, I share the other half with the conference room.

"There's also that, but Mr. Cateo's aim will be to export herbs through the Tacax city beyond that,"

The town of Cateo has only an old municipality with roads everywhere, but if a direct road is developed to Takakus, it will also be possible to export fast legged herbs extensively.

Medicinal herbs with good profit margins are difficult to cultivate, but there are also chambers of commerce in the town of Cateo that specialize in medicines and you won't have to worry because they have cultivated know-how.

Furthermore, the direct route with Tacax also facilitates food imports. Import costs go down, and combining the sale of medicinal herbs will be the key to the revival of the town of Cateo.

However, the problem is the construction costs.

"If you're going to bridge with the town of Cateo, it will be a business from thirty jade coins. You can't afford it in my city of Tacax."

It's the mountains I want to cooperate with, but I'm in the middle of hosting refugees from the village of Kubesta and building a house. Besides, I'm also raising another issue right now.

It is difficult to monetize just bridging between Kateo town and. I don't even have enough artisans' hands.

"I already have too much strain on Mr. Takakus. This is a project that every town, starting with my hedgeway, should move to."

When the mayor of Hedgeway looks around the conference room, everyone will not hesitate to express their cooperation.

The Hedgeway Town sends artisans and bridgebuilders and other towns to accommodate the funds, which brings the story together.

Don't fall in love with instant instant gestures when you help somewhere again and again.

"Thank you."

Mayor Kateo bows his head and takes his seat.

The agenda then moved on to another project.

"If you're a Cyrillic, does it end up staying unknown?

One of the mayors cuts it out.

Probably the most intelligent person on the scene, my gaze gathered on me under the command of the Anti-Cyrillic Department.

I stand up with the material in one hand.

"The search continues, but we haven't been able to grasp any current information about Cyrillic. This past winter, Cyrillic first appeared in one of the emerging villages, Kubesta, raided the food depot, filled his belly, learned that there was food in the building, destroyed the surrounding buildings, and disappeared."

This is what I was able to grasp during the winter.

However, at the same time as the snow was resolved, a search of the surrounding area was carried out, and yet new information has been received from the Anti-Cyrillic Department, which has circled the towns and villages that had been interrupted by snow.

"We have found the remains of a snowworm that was devoured in the cloud-no-layer. The number is ten. Because they thought they were headed for the emerging village of Heeko, the Countermeasure Department rushed to protect the residents of Heeko Village standing in public and private halls."

Are you all right?

"... three people, it looks like they've eaten"

Silence fell in the conference room.

The village of Heeko, which the young architect was pleased with, exists across the city of Kattella from the Takakus, in the direction of the trunk.

The village chief, along with two Devil Bug Hunters, said he had bought time to evacuate the villagers to public and private houses against Cyrillic, who had come from the cloud-no-layer in the winter.

The village chief was the only architect, the public and private buildings were built very sturdy and would not break if Cyrillic jumped on the roof. Although the residents who stood up threw objects through the window and drove away the Cyrillic Giri, the flow was that the anti-Cyrillic department arrived where they sprung up in fear of another raid and were unable to move.

"The Heeko Village Chief and two Demon Bug Hunters are missing. The fact that there are still slices of bloody clothing probably suggests that they were eaten by Cyrillic"

As the village chief went missing, the village of Heeko was decided to dissolve as a result of the residents' discussions. It was originally in poor management and could not be dispersed, but in the form of a stop stabbed by Cyrillic.

The situation is the same as in the village of Couvesta.

"Kirilgiri, who followed Heeko Village, then raided Girica, also an emerging village"

"The village of Gilica must have been the Devil's Bug Hunter for most of the villagers, right?

"Yeah, you're right. The village of Gilica is home to fifty demon bug hunters below the village head, and those who farm can handle bows as a defensive force in the village."

He took a bow instead of a man or a woman and responded to a total of two hundred villagers raiding the Cyrillic Giri.

"The Guilica Village Chief knew the Guili, so the battle became a Guilica Village-based defense battle"

Given the management of the village that was leaning towards it, there would have been some way to crusade the Cyrillic Gilli to raise the village's profile, but the Gillica village chief was extremely calm.

He immediately decided it was reckless to crusade because of the depth of the snow and assembled the operation by severing it as a defensive battle only.

Fortunately, there were many active demon bug hunters, but they were able to assemble the operation in detail and collaborate skilfully.

The chief of the village of Gilica has organized the fighting units into three fifty men at a time, causing the remaining fifty to stand in the public hall and keeping the Cyrillic guili away by repeating the crossfire, which originated in the public hall in the three units.

It's a simultaneous sweep of bows and arrows from a hundred. Considering that it is a cross attack, we can carry out a face-control attack that allows us to minimize the chance of hitting.

"They caused four arrow wounds to the torso and thirteen to the tail against Cyrillic. Instead, the village of Girica collapsed with buildings surrounding the public hall involved in combat."

"You're about to call it a pain split."

Mayor Kateo says.

Given that there has been no human damage, it may be called the victory of the village of Gilica.

But there are also testimonies that concern me.

"According to the testimony of the chief of the village of Girica, the shape and colour of the Girica are slightly different from those of the Cyrillic."

"Come on, you think it's a mutant?

The mayor of Hedgeway flaunts his face.

I don't know if it's a mutant or a new species. Anyway, Cyrillic itself is a rare demon worm.

"He said the color was bright yellow and green, and the wings weren't very big either. In the personal opinion of the chief of the village of Gilica, it was probably not an adult."

"Are you saying that this much damage to the Devil Bug will still get bigger..."

"One more thing, if you are going to skin an adult, you should think about regenerating the wounds that the village of Girica has caused you to suffer from the total outbreak."

Besides, this guy remembers the taste of people. If your appetite remains strong after peeling, you don't know where it will be raided this time.

That's when one of the mayors raised his hand.

"A pedestrian who came to our house in the winter sees a thrill-like demon bug. They were jumping from branch to branch in the clouds."

"Do you know when and where?

When asked, the mayor turns the notebook at hand to answer.

If the testimony is certain, you must have seen Cyrillic on his way to the village of Girica.

Run down to the report at hand and I'll look around at the mayors.

"That's all from the Anti-Cyrillic Department. If a new fact turns out, I'll send you information right away. Each town is asked to share information with the surrounding villages"

Keep your head down, I'll take a seat.

And moved on to the last agenda.

"The question is where to accept the three emerging villages that are to be disbanded. Mr. Cateo is suffering from snowflake damage."

"Is it unacceptable in hedgeways?

The voiced Hedgeway Mayor put his arms together and sighed.

"About thirty demon bug hunters in the village of Gilica can be accepted. If we work with the surrounding villages, another twenty will be possible"

"What else?

It was just a town that indicated that it would accept a small group of about ten people.

Mayor Kateo roars.

"Every town was stockpiling food and soil in preparation for this day, but you collapsed all at once. The price of building materials has already begun to rise."

"It's usual for merchants to see their feet. But I wish I could come all at once."

We need reconstruction materials for the town of Cateo, as well as building materials for the bridge we're going to cross with the town of Cateo.

It's a painful expense for every town.

"Can you do something about it? It might be cheaper to pick it up from the west or east, right?

"I want to hear the opinions of the people who are qualified to build bridges. Any ideas?

Pong and the materials don't come down, I don't care if it's a plan.

I face to face with other mayors and their secretaries who qualify as Bridgers.

After all, no one seems to come up with a good idea.

The mayor of Hedgeway murmured potpourrily at the time he was about to give up.

"If you can make it, you won't be able to build a makeshift home with bug material."

"Well, why don't you let me hear more about it?

When Mayor Cateo showed interest, Mayor Hedgeway spoke out.

"There is a building material that has recently been successfully developed in our town of Hedgeway that has treated the crust of a branch eater to increase hardness. We're still in the demonstration phase of how many years we're going to keep, but if we're going to cut it off from temporary housing in time, we can't even use it."

"Is that the crust of a bruncheater? If it's available, it's a big discovery, that."

Unlike Branch Mimic, which resembles Nanafsi, Branch Eater is a useless demon worm. He is a hater who devours the branches of the world tree everywhere for that matter.

If you can make crusts into building materials, you can make money.

The mayor of Hedgeway shook his head sideways.

"We're still in the demonstration phase. Periodic inspections should be carried out. If you're not a municipality with inspectors from the Jianqiao family, you can't be in danger."

"Then, is it about Hedgeway Town and Tacax City that are available for that new material on this occasion? Mr. Hedgeway, can't you dispatch the Bridge family?

"I can move you both. Kateo, I'd like to send one to town, but what do you think?

"Yeah, I'll be ready to accept"

It's a boat proposition for the town of Cateo. Now that the money is being spent on reconstruction work, I've never been over it if I could make a temporary home cheap.

Mayor Hedgeway looks at me.

"I don't think the city of Takakus is a problem if Mayor Amane can move."

"Yeah, I'm fine. However, is the use of that new material possible even for unscrupulous craftsmen?

"I don't think there's a problem, but I'll send five or six craftsmen."

"It helps."

Nevertheless, it's called bridging with the town of Cateo, wouldn't the town of Hedgeway be overburdened?

I didn't seem to be the only one worried, and Mayor Cateo spoke to Mayor Hedgeway.

"You'll need something in return. Can I help you?

"It would be helpful if you would report the feeling of use."

"Is that all you need?

"It's not just that. In some cases, it can also be a major export for Hedgeway Town."

So it also promotes the product.

Still, if the ingredients are Branch Eater, it will be a pretty cheap building material, and the demon bugs will gush in the spring to come. The price will go down all the more. Neither does the merchant handle it because he doesn't know that Branch Eaters will have demand as building materials.

Now I can buy it at a discarded price.

Thereafter, the town mayors' meeting closed with each town reporting on the current situation.
