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

Lesson 19: Former Residents of Three Villages

"... hot"

"Hot weather makes you want to jump into the snow that's piling up outside."

I drink fashionable smoothies lately while waiting for Richay and Melmie in the hot tub waiting room with Teten.

They use fruit called minotts, which resemble kiwi strawberries, and the sweetness, acidity and coolness stain their hot bodies.

Ice cream eaten in hot springs and stuff is delicious, right?

There is no ice making technology in this world, so most of these frozen foods are winter-only. Ice rooms are a luxurious facility that is not built very often because of weight problems.

But I want to make it. Tacax is a tourist destination, and I think it is. I didn't expect a day to come when I admire the shaved ice eaten at the summer festival.

I think I'll make it. As long as the weight problem is cleared, it's not as difficult as it should be structurally.

Troubled, Teten was stuffy holding his side head down. An ice cream headache would be the one. The hateful one who can't even scream for his name, that's the ice cream headache.

"Look, Deco, get it out"

I'll pay for a long teddy forehead to expose your deco, hit the container of smoothies I had and chill it.

"... healed"

Yes, I'm glad.

You take care of him.

Teten starts drinking smoothies again with no punishment.

I looked out the window.

It's snowing quite a bit. Would it be a warm winter shake back last year?

"... Cyrillic, are you?

"That's what I care about, too. Everywhere is strengthening their defenses, but they're opponents."

Can't you think about it now?

"Still, you don't have many customers"

"... snowy. I'll cool it down, so I'm not coming."

My parents have only a hot tub and Teten seems to be familiar with the store guests.

The fourth branch, this yukaya in the former village district of Kidato, was fully equipped by the renovation works and the building itself was also enlarged.

The sauna room has the same two-room structure and is hotter in the back. The waiting room is wide open and about twenty people are relaxing, and they are also partnering with the coffee shop next door to serve smoothies.

Both Richay and Melmie are of the nature of long baths, but Teten is somewhat quick to come out. I guess it's because I'm in a state of excitement.

That's why it's good to wait for Richay or Melmie in the waiting room, but I've never seen her idle today.

See the wife of a yukaya chewing up a lack on the stand.

"Is management okay?

"I'm worried. I should have. Everyone was coming in during the day in anticipation of the snow getting heavy. People like the mayor are too busy to come in after business hours."

"Well, the weather was a little calmer during the day."

"That's what happened. Nevertheless, when guests come in during the day, the coffee shop next door doesn't produce high-profit liquor, so I look disgusted."

Kerakera laughs, and the wife of the yukaya points to the coffee shop.

"Mr. Mayor, would you like to drink lightly instead?

"I'll be back at work tomorrow, so I won't"

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that."

Yuya's wife pokes a cheek wand at the watchtower.

"Yeah, well, my son started dating the daughter of the coffee shop next door,"

"Really? Congratulations?

Son, you don't even think that your personal life leaks so much to your guests.

But I'm free, so let's hear it.

"... good cooking, good sewing. With enemies, your eyes are high."

"Shut up because you know Teten's supposed enemies don't have to ask one of them."

"... the turning bath time, the novel, with your sisters."

"Like I want to read, like I shouldn't let you write..."

Ignore Teten, who started putting the story together in his head, and I'll keep talking to the wife of the hot tub.

"After all, I thought you'd get the same heat source manager for your wife. What do you do with the hot water shop?

"That's right. She tells me she's going to study for a heat source manager, but it's a difficult qualification."

"If I had to, would I hire someone else?

"You'll be talking to a training school in Katella City. Teten is the mayor's secret."

"You can't let me out there for a second."

I can't let you go to the hot tub in particular.

Otherwise, Teten's smoked products are widely exported and popular. I work part-time in a hot tub, so it's not easy to stop production.

Richay and Melmie came out while I was talking to the wife of the hot tub. My hair is completely dry.

I wave gently to Richay and the others and call them to the waiting room.

"I get a cold when I go outside right away, is it going to get cold?

"Right. Looks like there's no one here."

"Auntie, can I stay cool?

When Melmie called out, Yuya's wife agreed with pleasure.

"Guests won't come any more anyway. I'm fine. I'll clean it up and you can come home whenever you want."

Apparently he was hiding behind the station. The wife of the hot tub, caught on her shoulder, goes into the sauna room.

I'll give Melmie a near-drinking smoothie.

"Kuh, cold. This is the hot water climb."

It must have been getting a little wet, but it seems to feel cold on the water.

Richay, who was peeking out the window from next to me, frowns at the snow.

"You've got the wind. Maybe we'll have a snowstorm tonight."

"We'll have to buy bread under the air market."

"The usual bakery. Sometimes I thought the bread in the air market was funny."

We've always bought at bakeries that have been in business since the time of the village of Kidato, but they've recently started selling bread in the air market.

Because it is an open-store format, it cools quickly, but I rather talk about it being tastier after it cools. She said she bought it in her spare time and had a lot of customers to eat at lunch.

We talked before we went to the hot water store, so we talked to Richay and the others about buying them for breakfast tomorrow, but in this weather, the bakery would be fine, and the air market dewstores would be starting to mess up a lot.

"Well, let's go before the snow gets any worse"

"Right."

I get up and speak to Teten and Melmie.

He left the hot tub and gave him an umbrella and headed to the bakery under the aerial market.

Even in this weather, people from the village of Kubesta seem to be called to the workshop for training, and the workshop where they wanted to go through can hear the working noise.

I guess artisans from the village of Coovesta are better at chairs and desks like those made in the workshop because they don't hear scolding.

I'll ask Melmie walking next door, pointing to the workshop.

"What are the furniture made by artisans from the village of Coovesta like?

"Nothing, I'm still in training, so I haven't made a sale. You're supposed to be teaching me more basic things. Classifying furniture, creating easy-to-use furniture from a mechanical point of view."

"Do you do it from that place? Furniture artisans have a tough road, too."

"People from Couvesta should be learning it once too. Don't review it or anything. You've lived here before, haven't you?

It must be a way of life that Melmie doesn't understand, having been taken from the orphanage by a couple of wooden cage construction managers and set to study hard. I snap my neck in a heartfelt wonder.

"There's only a thousand years of my life, so if I don't study properly, I can't make something for sale."

"Well, it's only a thousand years."

I can't imagine, but I couldn't even imagine being a hundred years old in the first place. I feel dyed too at a time when I think it's not very different from the senses.

Look at me like Richay remembered.

"How's the Devil Bug Hunter from Gilica Village?

"Some of them are dispatching to nearby villages. We've got a winter defense request."

"Everywhere is frightened of Cyrillic."

"Hey, hey, how long do you have?

I don't have an answer to Melmie's question.

"Because it's a rare demon worm, I don't even know how long it lasts"

Well, I don't think he's dead on a boulder in ten years. The point of contact created for the Alliance is a ten-year time-limit ceremony based on anticipation of life expectancy.

"You'll be on guard for a while."

"Well. People from the village of Gilica are young, so it's easy to send them."

There are circumstances in which wives and children are less likely to be dispatched outside. The Devil Bug Hunter from Gilica Village is user-friendly and helpful though.

Arrive at a familiar bakery while we're talking.

It is a bakery that is often used when it is not possible to make breakfast the next morning.

In the snow on the boulder, it seemed like we were the guests coming to buy it at this time when it was already dark, and the store was idle.

As he streamed through the shelves where the bread was displayed, Teten pointed to the one at the end.

"... new"

"Bread with nuts."

They're putting in a few different kinds of nuts. The fruit of the world tree doesn't seem to be in there, unfortunately.

In addition to the type of nuts used, the plate was marked unfamiliar.

"Sweet and spicy ratings?

Apparently it is divided into ten levels. That rating is also attached to the price tag plate of other breads.

It shouldn't have been like this rating before.

"… convenient"

"Well, that's convenient"

Speaking of which, this happened in my last life. I saw it mainly at the curry store.

However, the sweetness and spiciness of the corn bread is not simple enough to be divided into ten levels. Both sides pull together or emphasize one side. This rating is only indicative.

Find out how much bread you've eaten before, and then the four of us stick each other in the face.

"We'll have a breakfast meeting tomorrow."

"Speaker Amane, Mr. Melmie is sweet."

"I'd rather be a little sweet. Let's start with seven sweetness ratings and five spice ratings."

"... sweet three, spicy ten"

"You're a teen challenger. I'm gonna be spicy."

We each decide to buy a different item, and we all buy bread with nuts in common. At least Teten will need a bread with reworded nuts.

Take it to the register counter and call out in the back of the store.

"Yes, yes."

To the voices we hear, we face each other unexpectedly.

Usually an elderly shopkeeper or baker comes out like the old Kidato village district, but the voice I heard earlier was slightly younger.

"Thank you for waiting."

Coming out of the back of the store was your young daughter as you would be under the impression from your voice. It wouldn't have reached the age triple digit.

"Is that the kid from Heeko Village?

"Oh, yes, it is.... That's the mayor, isn't it?

Looking at me and closing my eyes was Heeko Village child who lost his village chief in the battle against Cyrillic and was to be disbanded in one of the emerging villages.

You must have been the farmer's daughter, but you started working part-time at the bakery.

"Maybe I invented that rating format."

"Yes, it's me. Keep it for reference, will you?

It's all about this explanation all day today, and with a laugh, my part-time daughter puts bread in a basket and clothes me.

But if the people in Heeko Village thought the shadows were thin, they'd be surprised at how many places they started their activities at some point.

Farmers working on varietal improvements are no longer uncommon in Takakus cities, but landscapers have started researching Japanese gardens that I'm supposed to have devised.

Whether they are originally motivated or even financially and directionally driven, the kind of ability to act would be a trait not found in residents of other emerging villages.

"But why are you working in a bakery?

"I studied it and thought it might be interesting."

Heeko Village people have a lot of researcher temperament.

I received bread from my part-time daughter, who laughs uncontrollably.
