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

Episode XIV: Extraction while away

Amane, I got your letter.

At lunch in the winter, when the signs of snow were getting closer, Richay called me when I visited the office with Melmie single-handedly for lunch.

Apparently he was coming to the office to help. Leaving Teten with his lunch, he heads to the office kitchen with Melmie.

I confirm the sender of the letter that Richay gave me.

"Kanes."

That means...

When I opened the envelope of the letter, it was written about Aquas' progress in skyscraping.

I'll put the letter on the desk.

"Looks like during the winter there was a goal for the end of the construction. We're having a skyscraper festival in the spring, so he wants to invite us."

"Finally, the skyscrapers are aligned east, west and north."

Richay glances at the letter on the desk and exhales emotionally.

I, too, am emotional as the founder of the one-wing Takakus. But I don't suppose Yoinsley or Beauterrum is our comparison.

"You didn't get a letter from Mr. Calaria?

"Not long ago, nothing since I got your status letter"

"Right. I guess it's going well in itself."

If Kanes was looking good, it would be Calaria who would let us know anyway.

Because we are busy with each other, we need to avoid wasting our time in anticipation of commemorative festivals with misinformation and preparing for journeys.

I'll show my face in the kitchen with Richay.

"Melmie, Teten, it's time for Aquas to skyscrape, so make sure your plans are available in the spring. Especially Teten, does it look okay?

"... Smoked, busy"

"Mr. Melmie is free unless Amane tries to build a new building. But are we all going to be away from Takakus?

"No, I want to leave it to Melmie and Teten to run it. Me and Richay are gonna show up for the skyscraper festival."

"... to your sister Calaria, I missed you"

Sit in a chair and spread your lunchbox while listening to Teten speak to himself. It is heavy box-style with the idea of eating for four.

Just now Melmie opens her mouth as she stretches the fork to the heavy box.

"But you can't just run it by Mr. Melmie, can you?

"... if I can help, I can"

"I expect it from Teten, but I still don't know if she's anxious. Can you adjust the amount of salt you ship, Teten? By the way, Mr. Melmie can't do that."

With the creation of a salt production facility in Takakus, salt from the no-layer on the cloud is also available cheaply on the north side of the world tree.

However, it is necessary to look at the balance between demand and supply so that salt prices do not fall too low.

"You can leave salt and other products to Tegurus. Ranm, only birds and sinks are under Marcto's jurisdiction, but you just have to leave them alone and compile a report."

You're a grocery store in the air market.

After Melmie thought for a moment, she joined hands with Pong as Tegurus remembered someone.

Richay snorts tiny.

"Speaking of which, that was your name."

"... poor thing."

Really.

Besides, I'm not pitying Teten, either, and he seems superior.

Is it because it's hard to remember the name of why Teturus is still single? No, no way.

Refresh your mind and get back to talking about extraction while you're away.

"Spring ahead will also activate the activity of the Devil Bug, but basically if you leave it to the Devil Bug Hunter Guild, it will also give you a break. If anything happens, let Billows take command of the actual team, and the guild leader will be in overall command. So I guess we should let Billows reside in the guild while Richay and I are away. Richay, do you have any idea who might be able to help run the inn?

With regard to the Inn in the lower level of the cloud, it is already possible to go around without Bilos and the Young Admiral, but the luxury Inn in the upper level of the cloud is not the same.

If you are not a properly trained employee, you will not match the Inn's qualifications.

Richay thinks a little and mouths his thoughts.

"I just wanted to ask Lazze if she's free?

"Probably free. But I'm anxious about my hard work if it's just Ladze, so I guess I want one more."

"Can't you pull one Demon Bug Hunter?

"I'll talk to Billows later. I know a few of you, but it's dubious if you can pull it off because there's a demon worm thingy ahead of you in the spring. Shall I ask Mr. Raywan, one of Rosas, and ask him to send a team of free men?"

If you are a member of the Rosas family who is used to carrying instruments and stage tools, you can do the hard work, and you are courteous to your customers.

This will also put an end to the luxury accommodation arrangements. Maybe there will be a change later though because I'm not actually speaking up just because I've set the direction.

Was there anything else?

Thinking about it, Teten, who was eating a small slice of corn bread, tilts his neck.

"... Marriage Business"

"Mr. Aleut is extracting it, and you don't have to let us turn around."

Mr. Aleut, who bishops at Tacax Church, has only been pulled around to the wedding since he was in Joynesley, and he is progressing his marriage business without delay.

Although there are still many couples who want to hold ceremonies at Tacax Church, they tend to be estranged in winter due to heavy snow, and it is customary to gradually increase in numbers from the beginning of spring.

It's about the middle of spring when me and Richay are away, so I don't even think we're going to be that busy.

That's what I thought, and I thought there would be no problem if I left it to Mr. Aleut, but Richay's opinion seemed to be different and he was shaking his neck sideways.

"In the meantime, Mr. Aleut talked to me. A warbug hunter would be dispatched to a nearby village during the winter months, wouldn't he? They made her in the village where she was sent, and they're applying to have a wedding."

Since the year following the emergence of Cyrillic Gilli, he had dispatched Demon Bug Hunters from Takakus, a large number of Demon Bug Hunters, to augment the power of nearby villages.

In the northern side of the world tree, where the transport network tends to be mahi due to snow in winter, they are welcome to become village dwellers and force of war only during winter.

I'm not often actually attacked by demonic worms during the winter months, but rarely do some people hunt snowworms to contribute to the village.

I just don't know what it's like for them to fall in love with a local girl like that - is he the guy with the suspension bridge effect?

Well, more than being dispatched to a village where there aren't enough warworm hunters to be a force of war, it would catch the eye to say the type of man who isn't in the village for a local girl, and I guess it's not just the suspension bridge effect.

I laughed slightly when I thought that Melmie, who was eating the salad, had heard it on her face.

"A lover who visits every winter. Sounds like a play."

"How can I be around all year?

"He always stays by my side. It's like a play, too."

Which is better.

"... in the way"

I haven't heard Teten's opinion.

Melmie sees Richay.

"So is the marriage business very busy since spring?

"Yes, and since the takakus school opened, the orphanage kids have classes, so they want manpower."

"You know, decorating, getting the kids to help you."

"The orphanage kids helped us out, too."

"... Amane, haha-ha-ha"

Listen to the spell Teten whispered and I ask Richay a question.

"How many people did you say you wanted manpower?

"Seven adults would be enough."

"Seven."

I guess the guide during the ceremony or something is looking for a choreographer as long as Mr. Aleut or someone from Salatin City Orphanage has their hands free to help.

I don't need to educate the customer or anything like that, so I think we can get together as soon as we call it in.

"I think if we get Ratze to work with us, we can pull some free researchers"

Variety improvement researchers often work part-time in a variety of places, including the influence of Ratchet. Mostly to earn money for research, apparently.

And then, the people who take care of the Takowka fields of the third branch should also be free. I have the rest of the snow removal work, but I'm not replanting it.

"If there's anything else wrong, it's a public house. Even the wedding business will be chosen as a banquet hall, and we need to keep it under control."

In particular, for guests coming from villages for weddings, the banquet halls in public and private buildings are affordable and tend to be commonly used, for reasons such as cost and number of people. If the Devil Bug Hunter were to marry a village girl, it would be used in ten or eighty-nine years.

"You know, cleaning, drying futons, right? I wonder if it would be difficult if it was just Mr. Melmie."

"Right. Plus, if you're in a ballroom, you'll have to cook, so you'll need to speak to your cook soon. Preparation of a schedule, ordering and loading of ingredients, and then -"

Mr. Melmie never made a slip.

Melmie crosses her arms and creates a bat mark.

Richay smiles bitterly and looks at Teten.

"You can even make a slip. You don't have to worry too much, because I'll call Micam and Kekie and ask them to help you in your spare time."

Micam, the librarian at Takakus School, must know on her own because she has helped with the work of the office until the library was built. It can be called instant combat power.

Keki works on behalf of a nurse at Mr. Calc's clinic, but he can also do all the clerical work by accepting the cost of medication at the reception. I just appreciate being able to do the math.

If only one of us could cooperate, we could proceed with the operation of the public and private buildings.

I'll tell Melmie another reassuring element.

"The order for ingredients will be handled even on the same day if I speak to the ancient ginseng residents to hold their fields. You can rely on it in times of need."

"Although mushrooms will be ordered from branches of the Comatsu Chamber of Commerce in the air market, Lucio, the branch manager, will come to make sure that it is a strange order volume, so don't worry too much. Of course, it's not like I can take my hands off it."

Since I was an architect and had an office in Yoinsley, the Komatsu Chamber of Commerce has been working with Tegurus to sell mushrooms, cloths, and warthog nails. Either way, it's a form of wholesale dealing with a workshop or something.

That's why I'm concerned about ordering from this office that separates the operation of the Tacax. Because if you cause problems with this office opponent, all the counterparties in the tacks could go bad.

So there's something to be concerned about even this one, but I would say it will be held.

"Don't you have to worry about running this while you're away?

"I'll write it down on paper later, so check it out with Teten."

"I get it. Finally, the day has come to prove that Mr. Melmie is a woman you can count on, so don't let her distract you!

"No, I've always counted on Melmie."

As craftsmen and foremen, all craftsmen in Tacax are losing their minds to Melmie. Especially if it's finely crafted or sculpted, it would be missing one head.

Sometimes the craftsmen in the tacks are all young, but Melmie's soft sculpture isn't. It's flavorful.

When she heard what I really meant, Melmie glanced at me with a bright red face.

"I'm going to say it flat..."

Well, it's a fact.
