After talking about the blueprint, we talked about everything in detail, and the contract was concluded within the day.
　Then, as the good hastened, each took action.

　And a few hours later.
　When the sun shone in a very low position past the top, and it was time for the sky to turn red in a little while, a huge stake was brought into Newtown.

"It's the best larch log," You can hit it as hard as you want."

　a huge log that is said to have grown in the woods outside, made of extra thick pine trees.
　I'm going to drive this into the ground now.
　This will support a huge structure.

　But it's too big.
　It's as fine as the iron pile of a bowling car as I've seen in Japan.

"...I, the stake, the drive!"

　Jambold, the Horseman of Torbeck's No. 2, holds up a huge hammer and yells, "Blululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululu

"You only produce horse characters at times like this, don't you, Mr. Yambold..."

　Gooseya is gazing at Jamborde with a blank face.
　It's a production...

"Well, ummallow," How do you drive a stake over five meters tall?"
"Jump and 'Don!'"
"...thank you for the easy explanation."

　There's no way we've got any inhabitants of this city.
　I think I understand why heavy machinery has not been developed. I don't think it's necessary, if there's a tribe of beasts.

"…………………Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　Breathe in briefly and Janbold screams.
It's going to turn into a super yambold. The earth is vibrating a little with tremendous force.
　It's as powerful as you can imagine from Janbold, who always has long faces and hollow eyes.

　The Yambold holds his head up and glares up at the top of a huge pile log rising high up.
　Yambold charges at the stake, which is supported by a four-man carpenter.

　After a run of more than 10 meters, he kicked the ground and jumped big.
　A big, bold yambold swings in the sky, raising the muscles of his arms and wielding a huge wooden hammer.
　Then, he struck a huge pile log with a wooden hammer that was about to roar throughout the city.

"N... mehhhhuh!"

　With a sound of explosions, huge pile logs sink into the ground.
　The stake, which was nearly five meters long, was over three quarters buried in a single blow.
　Seeing such a formidable power, we in the audience cried out together.

````` `Why a sheep!''

　I'm not stupid at the top of the list! It's hard to be impressed!

"You're going to build No. 1 from that stake, aren'
"No, it's easy to pull out,"
"What?"
"We need a geological survey first. I'll build a big one and see if it's a durable ground."
"... then, at worst, the possibility of not being able to stand up?"
"That's -- but I'll do my best,"

　I see, they're investigating the geology and so on.
　I thought they were only building "wow" like fools...Just because it's "good stuff," it's "Wow..."

"Is it a pun?"
"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? I want you to stop being unreasonably angry!"

　Geological surveys are said to be carried out carefully, partly because it is near a waterfall.
　Well, the ground is loose around the water... ...wouldn't it be profitable if there was a hot spring...?

"Mr. Yashiro and Mr. Umaro".

　With a flutter of skirts, the imelda approaches. with a swirl of parasols

"The scaffolding wood has arrived." Will you keep it here?"
"Of course," I want you to tell them that you want me to leave it to them."
"...yeah, yes,"
"Mr. Umaro! Look at the face of the viper!"
"Oh, Oyla, I want to go to Yangbold for a second! See you later!"

　Womaro, who was about to be peered into by Imelda, ran away with all his might.
　He's... sick, isn't he?

"You're not used to it, are you?" It's a waste to not see such a beautiful face."
"Oh, your slender carpenter has a common sense of aesthetics. What's your name?"
"Yes! My name is Gooseya!"
"It's a long time. I don't think I can remember it."
"It's an honor!"

　Is it an honor?

"Gooseuya was a former Genet fan and is now just a big-breast fan of Delia."
"Is that Mr. Jiro?"
"... that sucks,"
"Ah... looked down upon me...!?"

　Unlike Womaro and Yambold, Goozouya seems to be the type of person who wants to get acquainted with beautiful women. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well, that's all right,"Wow, Mr. Hosoya. "Tell Mr. Umaro, 'I'll ask you to do my job properly.'"
"Yes, I'll tell you! It's Gooseya!"
"Come on, Mr. Nagaiya,"
"Yes, here we go! It's Gooseya!"

　Responding cheerfully, Goozoya runs to Umaro and Janbold.
　I'll tickle Delia......oh, no. I don't think Delia will get angry about that. It's not interesting to see a response like, "Oh, what?" Let's not do that.

"By the way, Mr. Jiro. You are going to the Twenty-seventh Ward?"
"Oh, I'll see the lord for a moment.""When are you leaving?"
"Aesthetica is making an appointment now, and it will be as soon as she gets it."

　I'm guessing it'll take about three days.
　I don't think there's any need to close the door because there's a letter of introduction from Maul, but if it's an appointment from a lower-ranking lord, he's going to be looked downplayed.
　Well, I'll wait leisurely.

　--that you think you'really.

"Yasilow!"

　Estella came running with something lettering in her hand.
　...a great sense of sight.
I have a slightly unpleasant feeling about the scene, which is very similar to when I received a call-up letter from BU.
　Come to think of it, was the place by this waterfall...

　As Estella ran to us standing by the waterfall, she put her hand on her knee and adjusted her breathing.
He lifted his head and said it out loud.

"I got an appointment!"
"What!"

　I got an appointment...

"You sent me the letter this morning, didn't you?"
"You seem to have sent it back by horse. "I'm sure I'll miss you know.

　The lord of the twenty-seven wards "would love to see" the lord of the forty-two wards?
　Even if it's polite to miss him, would you go out of your way to reply to him using a fast horse?
　...something is wrong. I feel uncomfortable.

　The most conceivable thing is.........Murr?
　I wonder if Marle helped me from behind...or if the lord of the twenty-seven wards had any weakness in him...the theory of weakness would be more credible, as he sent me a reply by a swift horse within the day.

"... What did you do, Maul?"

　Estella seems to have thought the same thing.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"And when can we meet?"
"Tomorrow at noon. I was invited to lunch."
"... beans again?"
"Well, beans will come out, but... oh, but." I got a letter of introduction and a certificate of exemption from Marul."
"Will you be able to tax-exempt the beans from the lord of the twenty-seven wards with his certificate?"
"It seems that the 'BU' regulations have no problem. You know, to protect the people you're acquainted with."

　For example, a ward is a relief measure that allows a person to be treated as a harassment by a bad ward and not to leave the BU.

In BU, it seems that it is difficult to act out of personal feelings, for better or worse.
　The reason why it's easier to keep the status quo is probably because it won't make a difference. "The fish I let go of was big," is quite the same thing.
　No matter what kind of guy you deal with, you have to have a reasonable reason and a good decision to cut it off. Once a relationship has been broken, it's not much to be undone.

　That's why Marul's kindness has made us less vulnerable to attack from BU.
　But I doubt if Marul will continue to protect us for free forever.
　Let's take it easy, even though it's a bonus stage now.

`I could have called him at the right time and talked to him in the drawing-room -- '

　Staring at a letter from the 27th Ward, Estella says:
　Look at me with a wary eye.

"I can't believe you're asking me out for lunch... Is Mr. Maul actually a scary person? Oh, no, because there's no other reason why the lord of the 27 wards treats me so well."

　It's as suspicious as when a little boy is treated kindly by a pretty girl in his class. Estella's heart rate keeps rising every second. to the point where one's heart is aching and one is sweating faintly

　Indeed, there is no reason for the lords of the twenty-seven wards to entertain the lords of the forty-two wards, which were once considered to be the lowest wards.

　Inviting someone to lunch, if not dinner, is quite a treat.
　If an invitation to dinner is an expression of the ward's willingness to get closer together, an invitation to lunch is an expression of willingness to build a more casual and frank relationship.

　Despite the dramatic development of the present 42 wards, it is still a member of BU, which is concerned about their appearance and obsession with hierarchical relationships.
　This treatment, which can be regarded as equal, seems unnatural.

　--except for the fact that Maul is behind the scenes.

"Well, you'd better be careful,"
"Well..."

　Estella has been holding her chest for a long time, perhaps heartache.

"What's the matter with Estella?" Are you holding back your chest because you are sick of it not growing at all?"
"My heart hurts, so I'm holding it down!"

　Oh, my God!
　I thought so in my head, but my mouth gave priority to the information from the field of vision.

　Estella's heartache, however, seems to have gone into oblivion with her anger, and she is back to her usual angry expression. I mean, that's it. What a kind fellow I am!

"Mr. Jiro, Mr. Estella. So you're going to the Twenty-seventh Ward to-morrow?"

　Imelda, who listened to our conversation silently, asks again.
　Come to think of it, did I know when I was going to go?

"Do you want to follow me?"
"Unfortunately, we cannot serve vaxes because they have to be sorted out of wood." The average number of cups in a carriage will be disastrous, but please bear with it."
"You're noisy, Imelda,"
"I think it's hard for Natalia alone to cope with the hopeless negatives."
"Didn't you hear that? They're saying it's noisy."

　a tirade of abuse Don't you guys pop out of words. On the contrary, you seem to get along well.

"Your father wants to provide you with a carriage and a horse."
"Javier?"
"Yes, there are fans of your horse in 'BU' and they said it would give you some prestige if you were to get on board."

　Javier is not only famous for being the head of the Woodman's Guild, but also for being a master horse owner who raises many great horses.
　Did I tell you before that Javier's horse was popular with the aristocrats and that it was a bargaining chip?

"If you are going to leave tomorrow morning, you can make arrangements now."
"Mr. Javier's carriage would be faster than our own."
"Buy me a better carriage, too," You always borrow someone else's carriage, don't you?
"Well, she's putting off her stuff and spending money on the streets, I! ...and she's my favorite horse..."

　Estella loves a horse with a long name, Nantoka Kantoka, which she has raised. love someone dearly I'm so attached to it that I'm going to pull it out.
　...but he's weak. Thanks to Estella's carriage is slow.I should have at least prepared a carriage for two."

"Is it the Hingew Peta Peta?"
"Can't you name it like that? It's a cute horse!"
"It's the Kounu-Narisokonai, isn't it?"
"I didn't miss it! What's her name?"

　It's such a philosophical and long name that my brain won't accept it at all.
　First of all, Estella's face is comical.

"At least train the Sole a little more,"
"You have no intention of remembering names, have you?"

　For the time being, it's good to rent a horse and carriage from Javier.
　It could be a little intimidating to know that it's Javier's horse.
　The aristocrat will never have Javier's horse for the rest of his life if he takes a bad trick on it.
　Even if you are not an aristocrat, you can threaten to hold the lord accountable for any accident that might be a problem in the security of the district.

"Well then, please take care of me, Imelda,"

　But it would be a great advertisement that the lord was renting a carriage to a guildmaster... ...well, Estella wouldn't mind that.
　Would it be better to appeal to the Woodman's Guild that he was getting along with them?

"Yasilo! Can you give me a break?"

　On his way to the pile log, a woman waved her hand to me.
　I wonder if there was any problem?

　Once we meet Estella, we head there.

"I want you to take a look at this".

　When I reached the womalo, I found a pile of logs driven deep into the ground. It will be quite difficult to pull this out, let alone hit it, but it will be easy.

　The pile's tips were sticky and dirty, and soil of different texture was found to adhere to each other depending on the depth.

"The ground is a little loose,"

　The soil here seems to have a little bit of moisture, and the womalo has a grim face.
　trace the soil with one's fingers and smell it quickly

"Why do you know the soil?"
"Oira, you have a nice nose, even if you look like this."

　No, I don't know if I have a good nose or a bad nose.
　If anything, your nose looks good, that fox face.

"And do you think it's impossible.
"No, it's no problem if you lay crushed stones and lay the foundation firmly. However, it might be a little dangerous to have a structure where many people can get on and off."

　It must have come from the idea of how many people... if we could build a tower here and build a passage to the Twenty-ninth Ward.
　But there's no problem with that, because you can't make it either way.

"All we will build here is a 'letter‐carrying' pillar. If it stands, there's no problem."
"Then I think I'll be able to manage it,"

　a woman with a relieved look on her face
　But Goozoya looks rather unconvinced.

"Why is it for carrying letters?"

　Perhaps that's a question Umaro and other carpenters are also feeling.
　In short, the question is, "If Marul wants to do anything, why don't we build a tower or a path where people can go up and down?"

"The hamsters used to talk about breaking down the cliffs here to improve the flow of the river..."

　I heard from Loretta that he was saying this when the waterfalls narrowed down due to lack of water.
　At the time Estella had stopped the act with all her might. --because it's going to be a war.

"This cliff is the territory of twenty-nine wards," The act of transforming the land of another ward without permission can be regarded as an invasion of the ward. for it will deprive us of our land."

　Therefore, it is impossible for the 42 wards to alter this cliff.
　-- well, the cave below the cliff does not affect the Twenty-ninth Ward, so it is a gray zone... to be sure that it is safe. ...it could be a problem if found out.

"But building a huge structure here is an incident in the territory of the 42 wards, so there is no reason for the other wards to say anything."

　However, it would be a trifle of a pillar to build, if it were to be said that a hundred stories above ground were to be built here in disorderly.
　Hiding in Marul's land, no one can see it.
　If Maul cooperates, trouble will be avoided.

"But if it was a 'building with access to people' ... what do you think would happen?"
"Well... what do you mean... it's convenient, isn't it?"
"Well, it will be very convenient."

　Estella shows some understanding of Gooseya's answer.
　Then start explaining in an easy-to-understand way.

"That's why you can't build such a building. from 'becoming convenient' Twenty-nine wards are the wards that benefit from the 'passage tax'."

　It would be the worst war if we could build such a 'walk' in the twenty-nine wards, where we change the width of the road to collect taxes, and limit the ways on which horse-drawn cars can pass.
　There is a danger of developing into a life-and-death situation in the twenty-ninth district, which is highly likely.

"Even if we did not intend to interfere with the interests of the 29 wards, the fact that we 'created a possible loophole' would be more than sufficient provocation and jeopardize the position of Mr. Maul, who helped us."
"It would be impossible to argue against Marul's attempt to raise the flag against the present lord in association with the Forty-two wards."
"That's... bad, isn't it?"

　Guzouya, who seems to have finally understood, is pale and blank. My lips are dry.
　I'm in a hurry because I don't think what I said lightly. That's what it looks like, isn't it?

"Oh, but. Do you like your stuff?"

　When we are going to make it, we are also considering the transportation of green beans.

"You know, Maul has the right to issue a 'tax-free certificate'."

　The only difference is between going to the twenty-ninth district and getting a certificate of tax exemption issued or having a bean with a certificate of tax exemption sent to the forty-second district.
　If the results are the same, it would be a good idea to shorten the wasted time.

"Well, it's an infinitely gray zone,"

　Estella doesn't really agree with the transportation of turtles. However, Marul and I pushed ahead and made him agree.
　Marul wants to get rid of the bean sprouts and I want to get rid of the bean sprouts. It's a win‐win relationship. No one loses. Look, we're all happy.

"So, don't ask for the strength and quality of the ride that people can't ride, can you?"
"All right, sir. I'll build it as soon as Norma's parts come."

　It will be Norma that will take the most time this time.
　I think it's okay because you looked a little happy to be given a difficult part.
　I'm going to treat you to a cake when it's over.


　Then we talked a little bit about geology and wood and left Newtown.
　Clouds begin to spread again in the sky, turning the dusk darker.Imelda's carriage was expected to come to the Yodamari-tei tomorrow morning, and we were to wait for it and go to the twenty-seven wards.

　I got acquainted with Marul, but he's not a lord.
　The next person to meet is the lord of the BU.

　There's something I can't understand... Let's brace ourselves up.

　Anyway, this row with BU -- it smells like money everywhere. It would be all right if you tried a little harder.
