65 Episode 60: A New Plan



"I think that's a very wonderful thing." the day after tomorrow  Jeanette and I told Bertina a plan yesterday after breakfast at church.  The matter is to hold an event to worship the spirit using the street from the main street to the church.  Naturally, Estella is here now, listening together. "There is something like this in the legend of the spirit god."the Spirit, who once descended into the human world --" It was long enough to summarize that the Spirit had once descended into the human world and presented a light to a frightened man at night. "Because of that, there are days when the daytime becomes longer several times a year." Well, it must be the summer solstice.  It seems that in this world of wild weather, the summer solstice does not come at the fixed time.  But the principle is probably the same as the summer solstice.  ...isn't the axis of this planet in the world unsteadily fixed? ......I doubt if this is a planet in the first place. "Well, why don't we all return the light to the Spirit, thanking the sun for its blessings?""Do the lights come from the east and west of the city to the church? What a wonderful event that is." Perhaps she imagined the scene, Bertina smiled like a picture; A procession of candles lit at night marches toward the church from east to west.  Yes. It's east and west.  A procession of people, centered around the church, coming from the east side of the main street and from the west side of the proposed gate -- exactly to the south of the west -- to join in front of the church.  Otherwise, the festival will only be held in sections from the main street to the church.  ...this festival is about half the way to convince Imelda. It's meaningless unless the site of the Woodman Guild branch is greatly elevated.  Therefore, the procession decided to head for the church from the east to the west. "Do you keep candles lit along the street in this section?" Estella says, looking at the map of the road plan I drew. "It's very long, but can you get a candle ready?""I'll ask Becko for help. She said there was a lot left over, and she'll be able to do something about it.""Well... but when it comes to having a festival like that, my budget is..." Estella, who has been talking about money lately, is wrinkling between her eyebrows again. "You only talk about money or chest,""Don't be noisy! Those are the two serious and serious problems for me! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . You can tell without speaking.  I know it.  Don't worry by yourself. I'll always be available for advice. ...with half a laugh. "There's no problem with money. I'll ask for your support.""Mr. To-day?" To put it bluntly, it's like a sponsor. "I'll ask the shops and guilds in the 42 wards to contribute. Of course, I'll prepare a return." First, carve the name of the company on candlesticks along the street.  The more money you spend, the more the name of the company will be lined up. It has an excellent effect on advertising. """We offer a stylish place to live, including new buildings, renovations, and gardening!"""--like that, you know.  In Japanese festivals, lanterns are inscribed with their names, and shrines are plastered with flaps. Well, that means contributing to the community and giving gifts. "But will the promotion alone raise that much money?""Even the Spiritual Church can raise donations. Religion has the power to loosen the purse strings of believers.""Mr. Yashiro... I think that sounds a little better..." A devout Alvistani Jeanette gives a wry smile.  But it's true.  If you don't have faith, you can't pay 500,000 yen for a suspicious pot.  Oh, live goods might be like that. Buying something like "It's cheaper to think about it carefully, isn't it?" is like offering it to a favorite artist at a gift. "And this is my main source of income... I'm going to open a store.""A stall...? Is it like a stall?" Estella, who has a good sense of understanding, gets to almost the right answer just by her sense of words.  What's different from street stalls is that they don't move. "We'll have restaurant owners sell us on business. Eat delicious food, drink and watch a beautiful march of lights." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ." Even if it's a little bit expensive, you'll be tempted to buy it in the festive atmosphere.  Even if you don't usually eat so much powder, you end up with takoyaki okonomiyaki Hiroshima-yaki, which is the magic of the festival magic. "I think it's very wonderful!" Bertina was biting at me with tremendous forcefully.  ...Close! Wow! I'm drooling!"The festival of the Spirit God is interpreted as such when the church officials are given such food for free, right?""That's a big mistake! How convenient are you to interpret!""Don't you mean a donation?""Give me money if you want!" I mean, I don't think he'll be able to eat very well because he's in charge of receiving the lights that gather in the festival. ".........it's very sad that I can't eat it when I have it...""Oh, come on! Don't get upset!" If Bertina bends her navel here, the festival itself could be called off.  I can't help it! I can't help it! It's just this time!"If it's from the Yangtamari-tei, I'll give you a free meal only at festivals!""Oh, I hope you will be protected by the Spirit." Wouldn't the Spirit be angry if it were used as a substitute for food?"Squeezing. Jeanette laughs next to me. "What?""No... anything,""You're curious, aren't you?"Don't you understand, Jillo?" Estella winks at me across Jeanette, who seems to be having difficulty telling me."I mean, it's not. I'm saying something, but Jillo is pretty sweet, isn't it, Jeanette?""Yes," Estella says knowingly, and Jeanette agrees.  ... well, I'm not spoiling you at all right. "You look like a daddy with a childlike mind." a joyful Jeanette.  I had goosebumps all over me.  Who is your father..."Then, on the day of the feast, shall I ask your father?""Don't do that, Elf. I'm sure you're older than me.  At any rate, the festival's origin, the church, approved.  The rest must be co-sponsored and brought together.  ...you need to train yourself.  Practice for people marching with candles, inform the people in this city of how to prevent trouble and accidents that are likely to happen beforehand, and lecture them on manners and manners to ensure that the festival is held smoothly.  It's better to have a lot of rules in place to make things go smoothly.  It's a good idea to organize an executive committee to familiarize yourself with festivals, so you may be able to have festivals several times a year. Hopefully, you will be able to attract visitors from outside the ward. It's not foreign currency... but I'm grateful that people and money flow into the ward. "Estera. Can you list the main people? I'd like to negotiate directly and drag them into the executive committee."The expression is as crude as ever, but I guess the aim is right. If you bring in people who have the power to speak beforehand, you can prevent some trouble in the future.""I'm going to give you Jinet".`What!' Jeanette stands up with a strange voice. "Hey, isn't it Mr. Yashiro?""I'm going to take on the chairmanship of the executive committee. If I concurrently serve as the executive committee chairman and representative of Yodamari-tei, I might get angry, right?" The place of the festival is already by the Yodamari-tei. It is easy to imagine that some people will complain that it is unfair.  That's why it's Genet.  I'll make my point as the chairman of the executive committee, and sometimes I'll force myself to make up my mind about this and that.  At that time, if dissatisfaction turns to the hotel... ...this is the answer. Well, most people will be taken out of their poison.  Because it's Genet.  Even if someone complains about it, he's like, "Oh my gosh." Who can keep his anger in front of him? "Well, I wonder if I can play such a big part...""I'm not representing the city. You're representing the Yodamari-tei. It's OK as usual.""Yes, what?""Oh, you just have to smile as usual, and "pulk" your breasts about once enough.""That's about it... ...I don't do it all the time!" It's my little wish that you'd always do that. "Mormat as the West Representative of the Forty-two wards, Estella as the East Representative, and I'd like to ask you to do so.""Even in the same ward, there is a big difference in living conditions and income between East and West. If we reach a certain level of consensus, we can reduce unnecessary friction. OK. I'll take it on you." You don't have to explain it to me. Estella is really quick-witted. ... Isn't it because she burns calories there that'"And I want Loretta to join me as a representative of Newtown.""Is Newtown not included in the West?""It's just a new place. I hope this will be an opportunity to wipe out the past and make it a new attraction. Some inns like Imelda, and if it can be made a tourist attraction, tax revenues will increase.""I see. You respect the reputation of the old people who have the right to speak, but you also give them a new air.""This festival itself has just come into being. It's not going to work just because it's old enough, or because it's new enough. It's important to blend them together well." Towns with only old‐fashioned craftsmen are going out of fashion.  However, it's not just a matter of changing everything should be changed.  Respect the past and sublimate to new technology.  That's what culture is all about. "Since Becko and Umaro will be running at full capacity, I'll have Magda With's 'Tsuru Peta Sisters' support my activities.""...what's the name of the place where all that strangeness can come about?""What, Estella? Do you want to go in?""I don't want to go in!""There's a strict regulation for enrollment, and if you don't clear it... ...you've passed, Estella says."Don't say it while looking at your chest!" Well, Estella has a lot of work to do, so I don't have time to support others.  Estella is likely to sign up as a sophomore during the leveraging season.  ......Do you want to make a theme song for the festival? No, but I don't have a guitar. Will you give up this time? "It's getting really important." Jeanette, who had been witnessing the moment when the project sprouted up, was confused by the ever-increasing scale of the project.  From planning to preparation, it's roughly like this.  His experience tells him how far he can do it and where he can cut it off, but once he gets on the waves, the project accelerates and runs through the North Top.  It's only after you start to cover the limits of your physical strength with energy. It's not like this yet. You have to accelerate even more.  This festival is sure to be a success.  It's not enough to convince Imelda with just a touch of emotion.  If she doesn't have the unwavering 'fun' that appeals to her intuition, she won't be convinced.  Forty-two wards that I looked down on. This is the highest-class inn that I was proud of, and I was able to change my appearance far beyond my imagination, and my values were shaken.  I guess the synergistic effect of the mixture of such things has led to an unceilinged high reputation.We have to beat the mark; we have to overwrite it.  I can't be half done.  If you want to do it, I'll do my best.  He convinces Imelda to build a branch of the Woodman Guild and a street gate west-south of the city.  It is only then that the road is built.  Everything for my benefit! I won't shake you, man.  If you say you're going to do it, you'll do it.  I'll make this festival a success and make a lot of money! Look!? It's gappo gappo! I can't stop laughing!"Yasilo is burning so much! I'm so motivated!""... well, if Jiro looks like this, he'll have a dark side to it'said he."That's not the case. I'm sure Mr. Jiro is acting with a will to improve this 42 wards.""Yasilo...?""Maybe! I realized the greatness and preciousness of the Spirit, and I opened my eyes as an al-Vistan...""That's not it. Yeah. That's not it, Jeanette." Estella is all you want to say, but I won't argue because it's generally correct.  Hmmm. I've been acting from the beginning, thinking only of passing the street in front of the Yodamari-tei.  Pasta is now selling well.  My aim is pretty much to go by. I'm afraid of talent. "If there's anything I can do to help you, Mr. Yashiro, please tell me." Jeanette swarms at me with a look of complete faith in my strange misunderstanding.  clasp one's hands in front of one's chest as if to worship me `I'll help you with anything I can do!' This vulnerable face... Estella said she only showed this smile in front of close friends.  ...you're close.  If so, I'd like to ask for it someday.  Actually, my dream was to go to a festival with a girl.  If I say so, will he go out with me?  Oh, that's right.  I'd like to make a little correction to my earlier opinion.  He said that he was acting only on the road in front of Yodamari-tei... Jeanette is not allowed to go out even in the 42 wards because of her business.  Then, if you bring something fun close to you, I think it'll be fun for you, too." I can't deny that such an attempt was certainly smoldering in the corner of my mind.  So it's not just 'just' to pass the road in front of Yodamari-tei. "Well, let's go round to those who are likely to join the executive committee at once.""Oh, Jeanette. Loretta and I are leaving. Do you think the store is OK?""Yes, my sisters will help me, and I'll get by. Magda, there's no hunting to-day." That's a relief.  The whole city will be busy between now and the festival.  It's going to bother the Jeanettes, too... but it's going to be all right.  Genet would definitely call that busyness "fun."  It's fun to be busy before the cultural festival, right? It's the same as that.  Staying at school at night and preparing all night -- that's one of the few opportunities to enjoy it.  I'm going to enjoy myself, too, because it's an opportunity.  Otherwise, I can't be bothered to be an executive chairman. "Well, then, I'll run all the way to the festival!""Yes!""I wish you were moderate,""I'm looking forward to the opening of the shop... ...a festival to express my gratitude to the Spirit.""Hey, your true feelings, erf."A festival to express gratitude to the spirit god.""You can't deceive me by saying it twice."I'm really looking forward to the festival to show my gratitude to the spirit god.""Why don't you say that there's no shop?""Cancel it."`Isn't the Spirit giving way to food!'"No more Sister... no more?" Jeanette remonstrates against the sloppy Sister, and Estella relaxes at the sight, albeit dumbfounded.  I laughed and our project started to move.  I was excited about the big project that was about to start... ...I was forgetting.  I explained the current situation in comparison to a cultural festival. . . . . . . that the schoolhouse at night is not all fun... That's why I only hear about cultural festivals when they don't have events... You don't have to compare it to that point... I'll get involved in the preparations for the festival." Ghost trouble is a joke...
