Chapter 66
Town chapter 66: New town 2
I heard the alarm sound and opened my eyes . The scenery of an unfamiliar room quickly wakes me up . My mind quickly recalled the current situation . New town, new house, new bedroom .
"I see, I had created a new town at last"
While I was yawning, I stretched my arm and stopped the alarm on the clock at my bedside . The feeling that it’s not truly my home is hard to ignore . Well, in a week or so, this feeling will subside . With these thoughts, I get out of bed . Feeling a little chilly, I wear my coat draped over the chair as I went out of the front door .
Outside the house is the D-type warehouse . There was a sand noise coming from there .
"Good Morning, Catherine"
Catherine sits down at the side of the entrance . When I spoke, she opened her eyelids, rang and closed her eyes . She is still lazy .
"Good, Good . Good, good good"
I patted Catherine"s head many times . Is that annoying? But I can"t help it, I just want to spoil you . Slightly satisfied with the pleasant feel of Catherine"s head, I exited the door next to the big shutter .
"Uh . "
I felt the gentle warmth of the sun from the east on my face with the cool wind hitting my cheek . I don’t think it’s less than 10 degrees, but it’s a bit too cold . This is only the summer; how cold will it be in the winter? For now, the cool breeze was a good way to clear my grougy mind from the morning .
"A new town?"
I grinned . In front of me is a town that I just created yesterday . It looks like a village, but my ability is [the ability to create a town], so it would be good to see it as a town . Anyway, it"s like a real town . I looked at the town illuminated by the morning sun and returned to the warehouse with the feeling of "Lets do it!" Inside, I prepare everything for the day ahead . Afterwords, I went to the house of chief Jiharu and instructed him to gather the whole tribe in front of the warehouse approximately one hour later . Not only the chief, but also the others should know about the future .
While everyone was gathering, I bought a [Steel stairs], [Microphone], [Microphone stand], and an [Amplifier] and started preparing for the morning ceremony . In addition, I ready "a certain thing" which was prepared yesterday . Before long, there were about two hundred wolfmen and straws .
"Fujiwarsama, everyone gathered"
The chief of the jihals announces the set of barbarians . I went to the morning stand after I heard . The chief of the Jihals is next to the morning platform . I looked over everyone from the tabletop and turned on the [microphone] switch .
"First of all we have a commendation ceremony . Mira, come forward"
Everyone had a question mark on their faces from my words . Everyone thought that I would talk about the future . However, now we have an award ceremony . It is natural that they are stunned . After a moment, Mira comes to the front of the crowd with her eyes wide with shock .
"Here, come on the platform"
As said, Mira climbed up onto the platform in a state of confusion and only stared at me . Chief Jiharu handed me that "something" . I read it with both hands .
"Mira, you risked your life in the desert town and saved my, n.o.buhide Fujiwara’s, life . Your brave action is truly honorable and n.o.ble . To thank you, take this certificate of merit; it is the undeniable proof of your great dead . We will honor your achievement for many years to come . "
This is the "something" I wrote yesterday night .
[Certificate Letter Paper - 10 pieces] 30,000 yen (List price 300 yen)
Unlike common awards and letters of appreciation, it is a sentence that contains my personal feelings . It is written in j.a.panese . It is also a manifestation of a desire to become proficient in j.a.panese in the future . This award also has a meaning other than grat.i.tude to Mira .
I decided to walk this path with the wolf tribe . But in order for us to walk together, even if the races are different, we have to prepare the way . The first step is this . No matter how good the people are, no matter how good their lives are, people such as the betrayer Gobi will appear . Therefore, in order to minimize such unscrupulous individuals, it is necessary to reform the wolf tribe’s values and reinforce them with examples . Much like the chivalry and martial arts in the world before . I would like the wolf tribe to be more honored than this . As part of that, I held this award ceremony .
"Come on, receive it"
I present the certificate of merit and Mira accepted it as I say it . There was still a color of confusion on her face . "And this . "
I put a pendant on her neck . Then, the wolf tribe who were stunned from being able to keep up with the situation finally understood everything .
"Yes! You did well, Mira!"
"You covered up Gobi"s shame!"
"Laugh more! Your cute face is ruined!"
You can hear an applause and voices supporting Mira . Along with that, Mira"s cheeks were lightly stained red .
"I will say it again; Thank you . I am alive because of you"
"E, a . . . . . . ye, yes"
It looks like Mira is nervous and her voice is reserved . I was a little surprised about the gap between now and her usual self, but I managed to endure it somehow .
"I am not the only one grateful . It is also you who changed the future of the wolf tribe . Because you were there, I and the wolf tribe are here like this . ”
At that time, what would have happened if Mira hadn"t saved me? Would I have died or survived? I don"t know . But if I survived and left that town, I would have spent my life with Catherine somewhere without believing in anyone .
"Let"s hand over a picture frame to decorate the certificate . You can return back to where you were . "
I wonder if she is nervous, as Mira walks like a robot and returns to the crowd . When someone laughed at her, a whirlpool of laughter started to wind up as if she had cut her eyebrows and I joined in as well . Although I can"t see it from behind, Mira"s face should be bright red like a ripe apple . It is thanks to Mira that we can laugh in this way without hesitation, a feeling of thankfulness overflowed from the bottom of my heart . .
As Mira disappears in the crowd, I raise my hand lightly . Understanding my intention, the laughter was getting quieter and quieter . The sound of birds roaring in the wind, the sound of gra.s.s swaying can be heard . I could hear the cry of a baby from a distant house . The baby and her mother are ordered to wait at home so that the cold wind doesn"t damage the baby"s body . Everyone"s eyes are focused on me . I opened my mouth slowly to answer their questioning gazes .
"We will make this land a new dwelling, but there is still a threat . For example, unlike the land in the past, this land is very cold and we don"t know what dangers are here and if the humans are strong . We will continue to be threatened and we must therefore have the means to protect ourselves . There were thousands of residents in the old town, but now we have three hundred, so it would be difficult to protect the town . "
Everyone listens to me . The face of each person under my eyes was strangely understood well . Come to think of it, I think I was looking only at the wolf tribe as a whole . Now, my eyes are firmly captured by the individuals . It changes from face to face . But I think that"s not a bad thing . I kept talking .
"So, you have to change . Yes, much like when you learned how to use the cannons and maneuvers in the old town . I will give you the knowledge which even the humans in this world don’t have . Cannons and cars . Not only will you know them, you will be able to understand how they work and create them by hand, create a strong city that will not lose to any threat . One which can thrive hundreds or thousands of years, even without me, you"ll create the best city that will not lose to human cities and more!"
The microphone is turned off . I wanted to convey my words only with the power of my voice . Suddenly, I wondered in my mind whether I was emotional like this . However, I am not the only one emotional .
"I declare the establishment of a new town here today!"
I screamed with a loud voice, just to deliver to the extremes of the sky . For a while it was quiet . Then a loud cheer arose .
――Do!
――Do it!
The bright eyes and the roaring voice . Everyone is full of motivation . Lets create a strong city without losing to humans . Because they have been deprived of their living grounds many times, they can reach their goals with a strong ambition .
"Since the name of the town will be decided from now on, I would like you to say if there is hope . "
I turned on the microphone and added a few words at the end . Thus, here today, the history of our new town has begun .
------------------------------
On the morning of that day, each person was instructed on environmental improvement . In the meantime, I built a clock tower in the town, connected the house of chief Jiharu with the wired telephone and created a small auditorium for further meetings . In the afternoon, the town starts as early as possible . Time is limited . First of all, I ask them to learn j.a.panese, as they will follow the details of what I said to Chief Jiharu yesterday . Then they can read a book and can gain knowledge without a teacher . In the end, they will be divided into each special field and run the town .
I gathered people by age in the auditorium and conducted j.a.panese cla.s.ses . It is the first time for me to be a teacher and I can say that it was quite refreshing . Everyone was serious and active in asking questions . I am well aware that the future of the tribe hangs on this . I may be able to expect good results early .
And four days have pa.s.sed since we created a new town . Soon, I must fulfill the duties of the lord .
"Mira, Garba, Boig――"
Chief Jiharu calls out a few names . Ten people gathered in front of the warehouse . Even among the wolf tribe, they are those who have faces close to humans .
"From this time on, Fujiwarsama, will go to the human villages in his territory and you will follow him"
The captain is Mira . Still young, she has a proven track record of saving my life . There is no one who disagrees .
"Because Fujiwarsama will teach j.a.panese straight to you, learn it correctly . "
『Yes!』
The guards responded vigorously to the words of chief Jiharu .
"Do you have any questions?"
In response, Mira raised her hand . I thought it was rare, but now she is a captain . It is natural to ask questions if you are concerned .
"Is this number of people okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"It might be dangerous to go to a human village with just 10 guards"
When going to the royal capital, Dorisben, there was no choice but to have a small number of guards . This is troublesome even if there is some suspicion . However, this time is about traveling through my territory . There is no problem with how many people there are, as long as it is a figure that is not too bare . In short, Mira says that it may not be a problem to increase the number of guards more .
"No one is going to fight, so it"s not a problem
However, I am cautious . I have a gun and I"m taking precautions . Suddenly, I won"t stop moving anymore . I talk to Mira again .
"I am an angel that carries happiness for them . "
"Angel . . . . . . is it?"
"Yes . "
I operate the panel while driving the car . In front of Mira, a small mud was formed, forming into a form . It is round and has a brown fist size .
"This is . . . . . . ?"
Mira asked me after seeing those weird things . I answer directly .
"――Potatoes"
These potatoes are my secret for getting 10,000 people .
