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

"Warm winter."

"Right. This is no different than Autumn Mouth."

I lean over a cup of tea with a view outside that's lit by the sun that starts setting early.

I'm already in the middle of winter on the calendar, but I don't let one snow flicker.

"Only this year, thank you."

"Thanks to you, we're going to be able to build a refugee house by the end of the year."

Construction work is progressing without delay during the winter months due to the absence of any postponement of work due to poor weather conditions.

The craftsmen who had moved to Tacax as refugees also increased their working speed because joining field work as a lower end was no longer intrusive.

Less than a year after all that mayhem, we were able to offer clothing and shelter bent over, for one thing, with the cooperation of the whole human race living in the world tree.

Besides, some towns other than Takakus still have a lot of work to do in building houses. We will have to work together after next year, for example by sending people from Takakus.

However, it is significant that the biggest concerns have been cleared up.

"Huh..."

"Melmie, be a little more shabby"

Melmie was out of her mind because her concerns had been cleared.

He still throws his upper body out to the dining table and sits shallow on his chair.

Place a dish on the table with a tea treat, seek, similar to the French confectionery cannula, as Richay looks at Mermie's head in the way.

Crisp texture on the outside but troll and soft inside. It's a good treat for tea.

Melmie takes one siege and throws it into her mouth, staying in an out-of-the-body position.

"This is... handmade by Amane!

He made it yesterday.

"When did you get that kind of time?

"I was working on it with dinner making."

Richay sits in the chair across from me and picks one seek.

"Recently, a specialty egg-based confectionery shop was created in Katella City."

"I can't believe Richay associates eggs from Seek..."

I use all the eggs for the seek ingredients.

Richay sips a cup of tea in Mermie's dismayed face.

"Even I know about Seek's ingredients."

"I can't make it, though?

"... even if you can't make it, I know."

Melmie laughs slightly at Richay, who loses momentum and goes out of sight.

"What else do you use besides eggs?

"Corn flour and coyote milk and sugar, coyote butter, later… alcohol"

"Oh, you're right!

Melmie wakes up and applauds.

"Now Mr. Melmie is shaking with more emotion than when the Coovesta craftsmen are able to scrape thin!

"I don't understand the analogy."

"It feels like a kid who shouldn't let his hands go grew up in a handy kid."

"You're not complimenting me, are you?

You're not complimenting me.

"Melmie, if you're free, why don't you and Richay make some sweets? There's still time for dinner."

"Coovesta is the only one who can take care of a handy child."

"I think I'll behave like a blended herbal tea of a failure to Melmie."

"Richay, calm down"

Take one seek and give it to Richay.

"Look, uh"

"... ahem"

Feed Seek to open Rishay's mouth.

Richay, who ate Momogu and Seek, looked at Melmie and chuckled.

"I forgive you."

"Instead, Mr. Melmie won't forgive you! I wonder why I stirred it up! You fools from the past, Mr. Melmie!

Hold your head with both hands and watch Melmie suffer, while I ask Richay a question.

"You said you specialize in confectionery with eggs. How does it taste?"

"I've never eaten it, but it has a good reputation."

Richay said she heard from the young general, Billows' wife. Markt's wife also said she brought a letter to the office saying she wanted a stable supply of lamb bird eggs.

"Is that letter on Richay's desk?

"It's not a big deal to look at. Because I want to apply for a direct transaction with a small mouth, I want you to tell me the contact point. He's already answered."

"I've been wholesale to the Chamber of Commerce lately. I can't even deal directly with a restaurant."

"On the system, yeah. If I had handled every case, I wouldn't have cut it, so I'm throwing it round to the Chamber of Commerce. I won't make an exception for a while."

You mean there's no direct deals?

Richay nods.

Since there are no coyote cars as a means of transport, it is still difficult to trade directly, and it would be a reasonable decision.

"Tea replacement -"

Melmie asks Richay for a replacement for tea before returning to the restaurant.

"I was wondering if I could pick up that treat or something?

"It's a shop in Katella City, isn't it? I don't think it's going to be easy after half a day."

"Then buy me a souvenir at the next mayoral meeting."

"If you remember."

I think I remember Richay very well.

Besides, there will be a meeting of mayors and town mayors in the near future. The task of summarizing emerging village issues is to provide reports on the situation and progress of towns and cities, and to create manuals when responding to mass outbreaks of refugees.

There is also snow shaking damage in the town of Kateo. We need to consider this one case more than we know when and in what form there will be a mass outbreak of refugees.

"Hey, Amane"

"Yes, yes, Melmie"

"The building of the house is over, so it's time to build a library."

"I wish we'd talked about that."

The elevation view and other blueprints were kept together in a working room, but I completely forgot.

"It's a school library, right? Takakus, what are we gonna do about the school opening?

"We talked about starting school next spring before construction, but we can't accept kids yet."

With regard to the village of Kubesta and other refugees, there is no confusion because they have already found work and have begun to complete their studies.

However, their residence is being rebuilt by the city of Tacax.

"Financially, I can't even look after the kids. I'm sorry, but a year or two has to shift the opening times."

"Well, it will, won't it? I mean, you're not even gonna build a library, are you?

"I don't feel comfortable with the funds. It's bad for Micam..."

That kid was originally sent as a librarian, not a clerk.

Lately, I've been totally following the board about working in clerical work with Richay.

Yeah, but the cost of building a library is definitely...

"Is support for two jade coins coming from Yoinsley?

"That's right. However, since the building materials are soaring, can we build a library with two jade coins..."

"No, let's build it. Melmie, the artisans are supposed to be free in the spring, right?

"I'm free. But, okay?

I nod at Melmie and Richay, who seem anxious.

"I was wondering if starting construction after school would get in the way of my kids' studies. I don't have a hand in not taking advantage of this blank period because I'm going to miss the opening time."

"Well, I can tell by the story..."

"Craftsmen can use it cheaply now."

Melmie laughed as if she had pinched her neck.

"Right. Craftsmen of new migrants, I don't know if I'm working. I think it would be better if we went through some field work outside of the house, and there are engineering stores that will participate even if it's somewhat cheap."

"So let's get into construction in the spring because labor costs will go down"

Convinced, Richay sighed and nodded.

"Okay. But how long does it take?

"Maybe an extra piece of jade coin"

"Oh, is that enough? It doesn't matter."

When I accidentally heard footsteps and turned around, Teten was standing at the door.

"I'm..."

"Welcome back"

Hang words that greet tetens with your mouth.

I pulled Teten's chair.

"How was your last place of work?

Teten's workplace is set to move to a smoking facility in the cloudy Noh layer tomorrow.

Smoking facilities in the lower cloud layers are used to smoke cushions for rum birds during the winter months. Due to the increase in the scale of the raising of rum birds, smoking cushions are also increased and inevitably time is extended.

For this reason, it was difficult to make smoked foods made by Teten Handmade in winter.

Teten's smoked matra grew in export volumes year after year, and its high conservativeness was coupled with the recent expansion of sales channels to the south of the world tree. They twitched and increased their enthusiasts because the pedestrians ate for snacks.

Therefore, a new smoking facility was constructed in the Yunnan layer in order to steadily produce Teten smoking products that could no longer be ignored as exports, and was used as a facility dedicated to smoked foods.

Incidentally, smoking facilities from the village days in the lower cloud layers will continue to be used as dedicated equipment to smoke cushions for ram birds.

Today was the last lamb bird cushion smoke for Teten. I don't know what anniversary it is.

"Hmmm......"

Teten looks at the ceiling. I saw a white throat.

"... no emotion. Anyway, the office moves, it's just..."

You don't have a body or a lid.

"... commuting distance, stretching. Mendoh."

Teten sitting next to Richay, ignoring the chair I pulled, throws herself out on the table. Looks like Melmie just now.

"Whatever it is, good luck to you. Want some Seek?

"... Tataru"

Mostly open mouthed tetens, Richay eats one seek.

Teten smiled uncommonly full face, whether it was due to the sweetness of Seek or because Richay fed him.

"... so far, so good luck"

Will I be rewarded with one of my current seeks? That's cheap, this guy.

Tetten's grin deepens further as Mermie reaches over Tetten's head and strokes her. Wouldn't it melt?

I was planning on going to the theater with Teten's consolation, but let's just slow it down a little bit.

That, then,

"It's time to get ready to bridge the clouds."

"Oh! It's finally a skyscraper!

Melmie guts posing.

It's bad for Melmie like that, but this time it's only about getting ready for the bridge.

"We're still far from crossing the bridge itself."

"Supporting branches, huh?

"Yes."

Affirms Richay's expectations.

To bridge the bridge from the branches of the cloud-no-layer to the branches of the cloud-no-layer, we need to prepare the supporting branches that will be the legs of the bridge now.

"Have you decided where? There's only one branch in the cloud-no-layer, but when it's a supporting branch, you'll need to stretch it out of another branch, right?

"Use the branches of the cloud-no-layer above the second branch. I want to use one other branch."

"You're going to be a big bridge. Mr. Melmie is burning in Russia!

"Maybe it'll be more than a duet bridge. I won't be able to work on it until the support branches grow."

We may have just cleared up the refugee problem and it's too acute, but we want to secure a new branch now because the building has been disturbed by rapid population growth.

"Once the construction is complete, Takakus will be the first skyscraper on the north side of the world tree. I need your help."

"You don't have to tell me."

"Mr. Melmie has no complaints either. Your arms are ringing."

"... it's useless for construction"

About one of them has been notifying himself out of the force, but we have worked together.

"Well, let's move on a year from now."
