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

Episode 28: Invitation to Design Competition

One day the summer was over when the water works were going well. An envelope arrived from Yoinsley.

"Design Competition for Coyote Car Stop, Recruiting Participants?

I wonder what happened a lot abruptly.

The contents of the envelope were advertisements hosting competitions to design stops for coyote cars that were scheduled to go to the Tenkai corridor to be laid on the cloud floor and letters addressed to me.

The letter from Partok, the current head of the Founders of the Yoinsley clan, describes how it led to the holding of the Design Competition.

It seems that a heated debate took place over the location of the stop where people would inevitably gather to coordinate opinions on the eastern side of the world tree. The prolongation of this debate has delayed me from working on the design, and it seems that I intend to make it by widely publicizing it. It says it has the purpose of informing people about the Heavenly Tower Corridor through the design competition at Koyo's stop.

The advertisement also touches on branches of the cloud-no-layers where stops are located, but the surrounding conditions and so on are said to distribute separate materials.

Richay peeked over my shoulder at the letter.

"I'll put the ads on the bulletin boards in front of the entrance to the public hall and inn. Do you think we should do the dossier reception at the office?

"Right. I don't know how many applications there are, but the material would be pretty thick, too, and do you have somewhere to put it?

"That's okay. Yesterday, I just moved the old materials to the library in the public and private buildings."

So, Richay looks at me.

"Will Amane be joining us?

"Naturally, with participation"

The letter also said that it would be more topical for me to participate. Around it says he sent the same letter to Kanes, he is willing to compete with me and Kanes.

This is a great opportunity. Let's give him a ride.

Read back the details in the ad. They're just looking for the design itself, and construction and the like are done by the architects and craftsmen of Yoinsley.

The construction of this coyote stop on the Heavenly Tower Corridor appears to be part of Joynesley's mission of good offices to new architects.

With that said, I also did a good offices job from Joynesley shortly after I passed the architect qualification exam. I'm feeling a little gracious.

"I'm in the work room, please have some tea"

"Okay. Can I have a refreshing herbal tea?

"So, please."

I'm leaving the living room for the studio.

Enter my work room on the ground floor of my home and look at the file shelf while removing the cloth cover hanging on the drawing table.

This time it's titled Designing a Coyote Car Stop, but from what I've read the ad, it's a facility close to a service area on a highway or something.

Just install it on the skyscraper corridor, which serves as the main road connecting the east, west and north of the world trees, and there will always be a significant amount of coyote cars coming and going. Apart from the functions of the stops used by Tsukiyo cars as transportation, accommodation breaks used by pedestrians and others, as well as restaurants, toilet facilities and defenses against demonic worms will also be required.

When it comes to villages, they need the right equipment, albeit on a small scale.

Richay knocked on the room as he was taking out a collection of desserts and such that he was likely to need from the library shelf.

Amane, I brought you some tea.

"Open now"

At the end of opening the door of the work room stood a tray with a cup containing herbal tea on his right hand side and Richay with apparent material received from Joynesley on his left.

"I just received some material."

"Thanks"

I look at the front door while I pick up the tray and the materials. One crate containing material apparently delivered by Yoinsley was placed.

"It looks heavy, so you want me to help you take it all the way down to the subcloud no layer?

"Please, there's still two boxes out there."

Did Takakus deliver more materials for people to get together?

It would be impossible to carry him with Richay's slender arms.

I'll drink up the cup of herbal tea, put the tray and the materials on the work desk, go back to the front door and lift the crate.

"I had my tea brewed because of it, but I couldn't taste it"

"I'll let you in again, hang out with me till the office"

"I guess it would be useful if I thought it was a date"

"You're doing great."

He leaves the front door with Richay, who chuckles and lifts the rest of the crate together, but if there are three of them in the boulder, they block his sight.

Thinking about what was going on, Richay pulled Kenagen from the storage. It is a luggage truck that works well for me.

Put a crate in Kenagen and I'll walk out to Tenbashi with Richay.

The leaves of Kista planted on the promenade at Tenbashi were red stained. Walk while watching the soft red leaves that soothe the autumn breeze cold.

"Do you have a draft of the design?

"I'm building it in my head right now. Please wait until output"

"Aup?"

"Talk over here. For one thing, the format of the building becomes a treehouse more than it builds on the cloudy no layer around Yoinsley. Parking lots to park Koyo cars and stops for Tsuyoko cars are planned to be built under treehouses, in the shade of trees that avoid direct sunlight."

"How do you see the natural shape of the host tree when you add the surrounding landscape?

"Basically, yeah. Other participants will be thinking the same thing, so we need to differentiate it well."

Even when it comes to differentiating, it's counterproductive to incorporate Japanese-style or color-lacquered bricks like tacks. More than the scene is on the eastern side of the world tree, there is a very good chance that when you bring in the Tacax style, your surroundings will be bounced in a large selection.

If you only want to differentiate, you can keep Shako. That guy would definitely make an intense impact. It also has the effect of scaring kids and demon bugs with beams - speaking of which, there was no power.

With this in mind, we arrive in the cloud-no-layer and cross the uppercase bridge horizontally as the coyote car that delivered the crate is delivering arrows to the Devil Bug Hunter Guild.

As we descended the third branch to the duet bridge, Richay pointed to the square in front of the entrance.

"I'm gonna put an ad on the bulletin board."

"Okay. I'll keep this in my office."

"Please."

Break up with Richay, cross the duet bridge, and arrive at the office.

Unlock the door to the office, go inside, and take Kenagen with the crate inside.

Nevertheless, there is no sound at all from Kenagen. It's just the luggage truck, and the wheels are on, but you can barely hear them go around. The ability of the oligarchy kenagen stands out.

Place one of the three crates open in the office and the other two in the materials room.

Nevertheless, I take out one dossier and look through it.

Is there an intent or lack of information in this material?

Towns exist on the side of the branches of the cloud-no-layer that set up stops. It is not the same branch, but the branch of the nearby cloud-no-layer and the branch of the subcloud-no-layer beneath it.

It could be a calculator that plays those who fail to make the site visit in the selection process.

More importantly, it is how to build a defense strategy that is significant because this information is missing.

We can't expect reinforcements from the surrounding area due to stops made on the branches of the cloudy noodle layer, and we can also see the difficulty when it comes to base defense by a small number of demon bug hunters with a large number of non-combatants.

But if there's a town just around the corner with different layers, the defense strategy will change dramatically.

Polar theory, because if you hang a bridge between the branches of the cloud-no-layer where the town is located, that's the only way you can expect reinforcements.

As far as the requirements of this tournament are concerned, we are only looking for the design of the stop, and if we send the design, including even the bridge, it is more likely to be bounced, but if it is a defensive base with a densely populated area behind it, called the town, the stop will be commissioned partly to the town by making it at the edge of the branch, in a position that overlooks the town under the eye, while the personnel of the stop will have a strategy to concentrate their fire against the forward. The reward for the town is that you can immediately detect a distant demon attack by contacting the demon bug watchtower that will make it to the stop.

The lack of information in the dossier is more serious than the mere existence of a town and this much strategic breadth...

"I don't even think that Mr. Partok would make such a preliminary mistake."

Anyway, Joynesley is the current owner but qualified as a bridge builder. He is also a consultant to surrounding cities and a person who knows all about the location of municipalities on the east side of the world tree.

Even if not, Yoinsley has many architects and bridgebuilders in relation to the qualification exams taking place.

"Well, missing information must be intentional"

Either way, I'm going to try to get to the crime scene once, but will I get some time?

Glimmer with the schedule you have in your pocket and look for where you might be able to get some time.

Between the end of the sewer laying and the winter snow.

Maybe Kanes is coming, and it's a long time of competition. Let's sell the fight exactly.

I guess I'll send a letter and stir it up just in case.

We will also check the features and limitations required at the stops where the materials are turned and designed, and assemble the draft in our heads.

Under the tree house, it has been established that equipment related to coyote cars will be located in the shaded areas. It makes no sense to put an extra strain on the coyote that pulls the car by installing ramps and such.

When this happens, the location of rest areas and accommodations becomes a problem.

Coyotes are stinking creatures. The coyote that pulls the car is regularly cutting hair and so on to reduce the smell, but if it still gathers, it will definitely stink.

I need to get some ideas for better ventilation and a smell, but good ventilation also affects the size of windows, etc.

Because we need to prepare for the demon bug raid, we also need to think about building strength and ensuring bow and arrow rays, devise ways to scatter odors, and also consider user and demon bug hunter rays and emergency evacuation routes.

"I wonder if there's enough time for this"

I have to explain my intentions simply and clearly because design alone doesn't mean I take command at the time of construction.

I was always in command in the field so I could handle the artisans' questions on the spot, but this is the first time I've often thought about taking the form of a commission like this.

As I immersed myself in a bit of a fresh mood, I thought about the draft design.
