Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

Afternoon work is also over and the sunset begins dyeing the village of Uld red.

"But the meeting place with Mr. Riesha was ahead of us..."

To Liesha, the village chief's granddaughter, I had been summoned. He said he needed to talk to me by sunset.

"That observatory..."

A little up the hill from the village was the high ground… commonly known as the "observation deck” was the meeting place with her.

"Mr. Riesha, you kept me waiting."

"Wow, I just got here, too"

For the sake of the word, the grass at Leisha's feet is widely trampled and consolidated. Perhaps she came early and wandered around sparingly.

"By the way, what's the story?

Risha said she needed to talk to me.

Her expression at that time was serious, yet blushing with nervousness. It must be such an important story.

I don't like far-fetched expressions, I ask frankly.

"Actually, I wanted to thank Yamato..."

"Thank you."

"Yes... regarding what has happened so far..."

Risha has thanked me.

A month ago, he saved his own life when he was being attacked by the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit) in the forest.

That they shared the meat of the great raven (Vic Rabbit) with the starving children of the village.

That he discovered a new cereal called "Inahong fruit” to solve the village's food problem.

That he taught the villagers what it was like to be independent with a weapon of self-defence called a crossbow (crossbow).

That it taught the villagers a groundbreaking method of agriculture and livestock production to give them hope of living.

"Countless thanks, we have been given to you by Yamato... thank you very much"

"Never mind. It's what I like to do."

"Be modest, Yamato."

"I'm sorry, but it's really this kind of personality."

"hehe...... I know"

Was the last one making fun of me?

We spent the past month together and my personality was much grasped by Leisha.

"Speaking of which, winter is almost upon us."

"Yes…" The Spirit of Winter ”descends from that great mountain range into the village…"

A previous story I heard from Riesha said that there are also four seasons in the village of Uld: spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It's late autumn now that Inahon has been mowed, and soon white snow will cover this basin. The snow accumulation is low due to humidity problems, but the severe cold weather lasts about three months.

By the way, "Spirit of Winter” would be an analogy story. There can't be such a fictional creature.

"We need to take care of the cold. Repair a broken house, prepare fuel and clothing."

"Yes, you'll be busy again tomorrow, Mr. Yamato"

Much of the food in the village had been collected by the lords. But happy or unhappy, all the buildings and firewood fuel remained intact.

There are only old people and children in the village today.

To survive a harsh winter, transition to a shared life with a limited number of houses to stay in. There is a need to improve fuel efficiency and safety.

"Was the firewood okay?

"Yes, we've checked the village's inventory"

The amount of firewood (maki), the fuel, that could safely survive this winter, was in the village. After next year, we will have to cut through the forest and stockpile it.

"And then there's the fur clothing..."

"Yes, that's okay too. Thanks to Yamato's Big Rabbit hunt."

"Oh, you did"

The people of Uld, who usually prefer colorful ethnic costumes, also wear fur products in winter to prevent the cold.

The stock of the skin of the beast is twelve minutes away, but hunting needs to continue and increase in number during the winter months.

"Wouldn't a leather product from Wold be premium and popular?

"Yes, it's also bought and sold in big cities for a high price"

As Riesha put it, the variety of leather goods in this village is quite high. In the future, he thought of it as one of the means of obtaining the city's currency.

Fur dismantled in the hunt in anticipation of it is tanned and ready to be used at any time.

The old men of the village excelled in the technology of leather goods. The plan is to let the children also learn during the winter to carry on that tradition.

"So far we're going to be able to manage the food during the winter."

"Yes, thanks to Yamato."

Food distribution was planned taking into account the health of the villagers.

Carbohydrates come from Inahon fruit, a type of rice. Protein is taken from the flesh of beasts such as the Great Rabbit (Vic Rabbit).

Inahon's stock of fruit is likely to be adequate until next fall.

A little more hunting before the winter when the beast falls sharply, processed into dried meat, which is a preserved food. If you are prepared, you will not suffer.

I can't get out much in the winter, but I have a lot of work to do.

"It's going to be a busy day during the winter, Mr. Riesha."

"Yes...... but it's ok!

Rarely does Reesha answer confidently. Whatever difficulties we have, we have our hearts full that we're okay.

"You're a lot more confident, Mr. Leisha today."

"Yes! Master Yamato is here, so I have nothing to worry about or worry about. Yamato, the wise man, is the savior of the village."

"It's too much to buy"

"Be modest, Yamato."

"I'm sorry, but it's really this kind of personality."

"hehe...... I know"

Maybe Reesha made fun of me again.

But she's smiling really happy. Apparently, I'm not kidding.

"Speaking of which... Mr. Yamato..."

"What's up, come on?

"Actually, there was an important story..."

Apparently, all the conversations have been chatter so far. Risha suddenly starts to look strange and talk.

"I welcome adults the next spring…"

According to her story, the adult of the people of Uld is fourteen years old by the count.

This allows me to be recognized as a single adult and to drink and marry. There are also other voting rights and property ownership rights at village meetings.

"Well... is Mr. Riesha going to be an adult soon"

Speaking of which, I've never visited her age before.

I've felt like an adult since we first met in the woods. Though I thought she was younger than herself, a member of society.

"Yamato... what do you think of me...?

Risha comes to visit with serious eyes. He spends time with me so far and asks me how I feel about myself.

"Mr. Riesha is a wonderful woman."

"Ho, is that true!?

"Oh."

There is no lie in my words. [M]

Being the village chief's granddaughter, she had a remarkable talent for combining talent. He felt more responsible than anyone else and worked hard for the people of the village, not to mention his danger.

"The only person I can count on to reassure my back right now is Mr. Riesha."

"Give me Yamato's back..."

There is no lie in that word either.

Risha is a hunter while she is the village chief's granddaughter. When we met, we entered the woods in unprotected circumstances and were surrounded by a herd of great ravens (Vic Rabbit).

But her original hunter's arm was considerable.

The "bow” dedicated to Riesha, which I had asked for from the old blacksmith Gaton, should soon be completed as well. Then she will be more and more reliable.

"I'm about to celebrate the ritual of a fourteen-year-old adult... I mean... heck, I'll be old enough to get married..."

"Well, the people of Wold are fast. In my hometown, women can't marry until they're sixteen."

Under Japanese law, my home town, a woman cannot marry until she turns sixteen.

This world is about two years faster than that. Perhaps the average life expectancy is related to early marriage.

"Until the age of sixteen... will Yamato stay in this village for two more years...?

"Oh...... I'll take care of the village until its life is on track"

Much work is also needed from next spring.

It will take at least a few more years for the self-sufficiency of this village of Uld to stabilize. We need to move forward with a long-term plan.

"Okay! Two more years, I'll be waiting! I'll do my best!"

"Oh, let's work together"

"Yes... with Mr. Yamato"

Reesha blushes even more when she lays her words on me. My face feels like it's being naked, like it's seriously strange.

Today she is emotionally unstable unlike usual.

I don't know what the hell happened...... I have no idea.

"The Heart of Women and the Fall Sky"

I remember that adage. I decide not to care much.

◇

"Brother Yamato!!

That was the time.

There were those who approached me, calling my name.

"Guys, I found your brother Yamato!

"Leesha, you have a sister too!

The Lord of the Voice was the children of the village.

Run up the ramp all at once and come to this observation deck. Looking for me, apparently.

"What's up, you guys?

I ask the children who let me out of breath. I wondered what the hell was going on.

Maybe it was another case? I'm on guard.

But the children have an invincible grin on their faces. That doesn't seem like a case.

"I'm here to pick up Brother Yamato, the star of the evening, us!

"Yes, have a shiyaku!

That's how I answer my questions.

But I don't know what to do.

I didn't even hear there was something going on tonight. So what the hell is going on?

"Come quick, brother Yamato!

"So is Sister Riesha!

Thus, I was taken for no reason.
