56-Episode 51 Great Things

这是一个改变这个巨型城市Allbloom历史的时刻。

期待已久且最需要的...... 希望的象征，换句话说，就是 "人类的智慧"。

这样一件美妙的事情已经完成。

...... 我的渴望终于得到了满足。

'......，最后............，这是一条漫长而艰难的道路，走到这里。

从我脸颊上滚落的不是眼泪。

这是一件纪念品，表明我以前多次遭受的痛苦和绝望已经被清除了。......。

'那么，我们来试试这个：............'

现在............，我全心全意............

我向标有'小'的方向拉动连接在白色车身一侧的杠杆。

Jozabah ............ Kopo Kopo ............

'............Successful......!

最后......

最后，............！

阳光亭里已经安装了一个冲水马桶!

我无法告诉你，自从我来到这个世界上，有多少次我被吓得在半夜上厕所!

这都是因为这个城市缺乏排污系统。

在餐馆里，房间里有一个发臭的、不卫生的盥洗室、厕所或马桶被认为是不道德的。

不仅是在餐馆。在这个小镇上，厕所通常设置在房子的后面。

此外，这些设施建造得很差，我们甚至不能称之为 "厕所"，只不过是在地上挖了一个深坑，不用时就用一个木头盖子放在那里。而当你想使用它时，你必须用手打开盖子。............ 这个痛苦！

难闻的气味，你不愿意看到的洞口............，......，如果里面有人怎么办？ ...一个我无法摆脱的恐惧：............

这些都是至今折磨我的事情：......!哭是可以的，对吗？

但是!

现在我们已经有了污水!有什么好怕的呢？

餐馆里的厕所？这不正是他们应该做的吗？

肮脏的？不卫生？恶臭的来源？

哈哈!你在说什么呢？

这是一个...... 冲洗。

'......，这很好......，非常干净，一点味道都没有。而且它有点......，很时尚。......！

吉内特，她和我一起在新厕所里，她的眼睛因激动而流泪。

...... 这不像是我们两个人在浴室里一起做的事情，你知道吗？

我只是在向这里的负责人吉内特展示如何使用冲水马桶。

'博，也给我看看吧!

'...... Manager, change'。

'我也想看!

埃斯特拉、玛格达和洛雷塔兴奋地在厕所前排起了队。

我不知道这是否就是日本最初引进冲水马桶时的情况？

在Hammies的巨大努力下，污水处理工程的完成时间比预期的要早很多。

在不到两个月的时间里，他们建立了一个覆盖整个第42区的污水处理系统。

然后，污水处理厂被建在通往大海的河岸上，尽可能地靠近外墙。

污水处理的过程与水过滤的过程相似：污水通过污水管道被收集到处理厂，首先被收集到巨大的水箱中。在那里，它被允许安静地躺着，并沉淀出大的杂质。

之后，通过一个缓慢流动的通道将其三次转移到不同的罐子中。

在这个过程中，污水被微生物所净化。这是与饮用水的一个关键区别。

我们从锯末中获得微生物。

在日本，我们在 "气味较少的简易厕所 "和 "锯末过滤系统 "中熟悉这种方法。

由于这些微生物的良好工作，净化后的污水变得无色无味。效果比我预期的要好得多。...... 在其他世界，微生物可能也很强大。

还有!

还有!

由于污水的存在，冲水马桶在阳光下的亭子里诞生了。

起初，我们试图让它像一个简单的厕所，没有气味，但......。

由于火腿儿童的辛勤工作，工程提前完成。......，任何站着的人都可以使用，甚至是他们的父母。......，如果站着的人是乌玛罗人，他或她有优先权。事实上，即使他们是坐着的，也让他们站着使用。--俗话说，我命令乌玛罗在阳光亭的 "房间 "里安装一个干净而时尚的抽水马桶。

由我设计。

在这里制造。

马桶没有氟涂层或陶瓷抗菌，但我们委托一个熟练的石匠制作马桶，乌玛罗与他有工作关系。

清洁起来有点麻烦，但谁在乎呢！？我将尽我所能，把它擦亮!

毕竟，这个厕所是一个......

这是一个西式厕所!

你不必再蹲着了!

我可以坐直了!

为文明欢呼吧!

我这辈子从来没有在马桶盖上蹭过脸颊。我不知道马桶盖是如此可爱。

'这水是从哪里来的？

埃斯特拉边流边问。

不要浪费，不要浪费。这是个很麻烦的事情。

'Basically, it's filtered rainwater. Well, when it doesn't rain, we have to pump it up from the well.

A huge water tank is attached to the roof of the toilet, and rainwater is collected there. A simple filtration system is installed at the bottom of the tank to prevent the possibility of impurities such as fallen leaves and dust from mixing with the water. The water is taken from there and flushed down the toilet.

The rest of the toilet is almost the same as that in Japan.

The water is stored in a tank behind the toilet bowl and flushed the next time.

When water is used, the "float" in the tank sinks and the lever lifts up by the principle of leverage. This opens the gate of the waterway that leads to the outer water tank, and water flows into the inner tank.

When the tank is filled with water, the "float" lifts up again to cover the waterway.

If you don't know how it works, take a look at the tank in your toilet. You will be impressed with such a mechanism with a little regret.

...... Hmm?Regret?Yeah, I think you will. ...... The tank is pretty dirty, too.

To fill the water tank outside, you use a fishing bottle attached to a channel drawn from a well.

It's not difficult. A pulley is attached at the height of the tank, and when a string is pulled, a tub of water goes up to it. When it reaches the top, it tilts on its own and fills the water tank.

However, it is quite a hard work to fill up the water tank. ......

Incidentally, when the remaining water in the tank gets low, a mechanism installed inside the tank causes it to 'pop! When the water tank is running low, a mechanism installed inside the tank makes a sound like a lion calling out to the water. Similar to the principle of the "floating" tank, when the water level drops, a piece of wood strikes the wooden board.

When the water level drops, a piece of wood strikes a wooden board.

...... It's far from fully automatic.

But it's a flush toilet!It's hygienic and odorless because the waste goes down the drain!

It's indoors, so no need to be afraid in the middle of the night!

...... I've probably been working hard for this day,............, and I'm sure I have.

'But it's still ...... weird that there's a bathroom indoors,' he said.

After looking at the flush toilet for a while, Estella let out such an impression.

And then, a little embarrassed, she asked the following question.

'Are you sure you're okay?That ...... sound, smell, etc. ......'

'Then you should try it. Come on, don't be shy!

'I can't do this in front of all these people!

What the hell. I'm offering to lend it to you.

Yashiro-san. The pasta is ready.'

'Oh, thank you. I'm coming.

'Pasta again?You must really like it.'

'No, I'm not!I just made a new menu. It'd be a shame if we didn't spread it around!

With Estella shrugging her shoulders, I left the bathroom, which was packed with four people.

'Yes, sir. Thank you for waiting.

'Oh, this looks delicious!

When we got to the table, Jeannette put the pasta with meat sauce in front of me.

I decided to add pasta to the menu, thinking that if I had flour, I should be able to make it, but ...... it didn't sell well at all.

First of all, none of them knew what pasta was.

If I had a picture of it, I could put it on the menu and advertise it as 'this kind of food! But there is no such thing as a photograph in this world.

Then, I drew a picture of it. ......

'...... brains? Magda cut me off.

As an aside, I thought that Magda knew the shape of a brain in this world where medicine was not developed.

The results were not bad. I'm so good at drawing that I can copy Fukuzawa Yukichi without any trouble. ............ Oops, that's enough of that, don't ask me for details.

Anyway, I'm good at drawing. When I asked them to compare their drawings with the real thing, they all said that they looked alike and that they were good.

But when I show it to ...... 'people who don't know pasta', they don't understand what it is at all. He said, 'It's a kind of squishy and unpleasant picture. The meat sauce on the pasta was also very unpopular because it was red and sloppy, and the chopped vegetables were mixed in perfectly. ......

So I had no choice but to show them the real thing.

In other words, I'd actually eat it when the customers came in like this. As if it were delicious!

'Yes!It's delicious!That's Ginette!

'Thank you very much.

In fact, it's hard to believe she just learned how to make it. The taste is perfect. In fact, it's better than anything I've eaten in Japan.

It's ......, but...

'Wow, there are some unusual ones. ...... Oh, I have the salmon set meal.

'This one changes daily.

'Yes!Please wait a moment!

......The people of the 42nd district are too conservative ............ to try anything other than the flavors they've already learned. ...... This will kill the pasta.

Pasta is a dish that is easy to enjoy, comes in a wide variety of flavors, and can be easily prepared in a single store. It is very painful that the basic meat sauce is stumbling.

We have to do something to make it a regular menu item. ......

'Don't you ever get tired of the same thing every day?

Estella sits down across from me, having just returned from using the restroom.

'I'm bored!I'm already bored!Pasta is just fine once a week or so!'

'It's been two weeks since we've had pasta. I'm getting tired of looking at .......'

'If that's what you think, why don't you help with the publicity? If you can get people to eat it, it's sure to be a hit like tacos!

'Hmm~...... I'm not so sure about that.'

Estella's expression was sullen.

'I had it once too, but ...... it was pretty normal, right?

'What do you mean by normal?

'What do you mean by normal?It's not like there's a new emotion, it's just a light discovery like, 'Oh, there's this kind of food.

'It's delicious, isn't it, pasta!

'I'm not saying it's not good!I'm not saying it's not good, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to order.

I'm not saying it's not good, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to order. ...... I think the rule for these guys is that ............ Japanese food is unconditionally very popular if you bring it into another world!

What's with the subtlety of the assessment?

'Because this sauce. It tastes the same as tacos, it's not fresh.

'Taco's is tomato sauce, this is meat sauce!

'What's the difference?The salsa sauce is better, so I'll stick with that.

...... Why?

If the pasta is a hit, the ............ profits will go up!

'......Yashiro is in a hurry.'

Magda pats me on the back as I hold my head in anguish.

............ No, wait. You didn't just wipe your hands on me, did you?

'...... Sales at the Sunlit Pavilion are down.'

'Oh, is that so?

Actually, Magda is right.

For the past few days, sales at the Sunlit Pavilion have been declining.

That's because ......

'Because ...... prices have returned to a reasonable level.'

'What?If prices are reasonable, why are sales down?

'.................. Now what?

So much for Magda's limitations.

I have no choice but to take over the explanation from here.

'Up until now, the Sunlit Pavilion has been purchasing a large amount of foodstuffs at 'much lower than fair prices' via the Garbage Collection Guild. However, due to a change in the peddler's guild, Mormat and other producers' ingredients are now traded at fair prices, and as a result, they are no longer sent to the Garbage Collection Guild.

To be more precise, the Mo-Mats are taking care of it and turning some of it over to us.

'The food purchased from the peddlers' guild is at a fair price, so we are spending more than before. This will automatically reduce the profit since the menu is still the same price.

'I see. But didn't Mo-Mat's farm expand a lot?Thanks to the work of the hams.'

The hamsters he had left with Mo'amat were working very hard, digging up the land that had been lying dormant until now, and turning it into a magnificent field. They planted vegetables one after another, and Mo-Mat assured us that the next harvest would be a great success.

'The vegetables grown by Hamko and his friends can be traded preferentially by the Sunshine Pavilion, can't they?Then, if we wait a little longer, won't the profits return?

'Those vegetables are for donation to the church. We're forced to buy from the peddlers' guild for the cafeteria.

'I see. ......'

'And there's another problem.

''What?''

The benefits of the Peddler's Guild starting to trade at a fair price are not limited to the producers.

It was also a great benefit to those who did business, the sole proprietors.

That is to say, in direct contrast to the case of the sunny pavilion, the purchase price was dramatically reduced.

Because of this, all the restaurants have drastically lowered the prices of their dishes, and even upgraded the contents of their dishes, which had been cut down in the past.

With cheaper prices, tastier food, and more food than ever before, the restaurants near the main street are thriving.

The only people who showed up at the restaurant were the regulars who used to frequent it and a group of Magda Gurus.

'You're lagging far behind in terms of value for money, aren't you?

Before I knew it, Loretta had joined our circle.

Oh, come on. You can't leave customers alone and chat. ............ There are no customers. ......

'Lately, everyone leaves right after eating.

'They're probably going out for a drink. We don't have any alcohol.'

'Why don't you have it?

'Ginette's policy.

Ginette's policy. Which means it's Ginette's old man's policy.

Well, alcohol is a recipe for trouble, and we're a diner, not a bar. You may decide not to serve alcohol.

'But I can't find any customers. ......'

The restaurant is deserted.

It's a beautiful day and the windows are open, but ...... it's very quiet around here.

There's not much traffic, just the occasional breeze rustling the grass and trees.

...... I didn't expect to be troubled by the location again when I came here.

The sunny pavilion is only visited by customers who say, "Let's go to the sunny pavilion! This is the kind of store that only customers who want to go to the Sunlit Pavilion will visit.

There is no such thing as a casual visitor.

'...... Magdaa, meat spa, want some?

'...... eat'.

I entrusted Magda with the pasta with meat sauce, which I was sick and tired of eating day after day.

Indirect kiss?Oh, I don't know. Anything's possible with Magda. He's like my servant now.

'............ indirect,............'

...... Um, Magda.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

It's really embarrassing,.......

The feeling of weakness that came over me made me fall down on my desk.

Oh,......, I want to take a nap.

'Anyway, when did you resume trading with the peddlers guild?We just had such a violent clash two months ago.'

Lately, Estella has been busy with this and that related to the sewage system, and she seems to be lacking in various information.

Two months ago, me and Assunto had a direct confrontation.

Since then, through various procedures and dozens of guild leader meetings, the Peddlers' Guild and the residents of the Forty-Two districts have resumed production activities within a new framework.

Why don't you do that?

In just one week, the profits that Assunto had earned through exploitation after exploitation were overtaken.

The economy was revitalized as a result of fair and equitable trade with fair prices.

Having sold the vegetables at a high price, Momat used the profits to cultivate new fields, which increased production and will increase profits in the future.

As mentioned earlier, the restaurant has succeeded in attracting a large number of customers.

And those customers are beginning to loosen their purse strings as their work becomes more successful, their wages increase, and their pockets become warmer.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Last week, Assunto came to see me with the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face: ......

'No!Mr. Yashiro!No, Master Yashiro!I've decided to stay by your side from now on and do business with you!I never thought that the world would change so much. ...... When I'm transferred to Chuo Ward, I'll definitely come with you!You'll do well in Chuo City!I guarantee it, my friend!

I assure you, my friend!' I was given a greasy handshake and a hug.

At any rate, I dropped him in the sewer of our flush toilet, which was under construction, and bullied him by pouring sand on top of him,............, but he seemed to have grown quite attached to me.

'Heh, ...... everything is going well, isn't it? Except for the ...... sunlit pavilion.'

'............'

There was nothing Estella could say in reply.

I didn't even have the energy to raise my head.

'But the stalls are very busy, aren't they?

She must have finished washing the dishes. Ginette joins us and brings up a relatively cheerful topic.

'The collaboration project with Cantartica seems to be going well, and although sales are down, we still have a chance to make up for it, I'm sure.

The optimistic manager gave me mixed feelings, a little relief and a lot of disappointment. ......

The collaboration project that Jeannette is referring to is the one that I proposed to Paula, selling our tacos in Paula's storefront.

But we're not just renting a storefront.

I made the tacos a little spicy, to go well with a cold beer.

The idea is that you can double the taste by drinking a cold beer from Cantalucia while eating our tacos. This was the plan.

The plan worked, and sales were good. Now, the second branch of the restaurant has become our mainstay.

The seventh store, which sells popcorn, is a little farther away, and is a big success, especially with children.

But tacos and popcorn. But tacos and popcorn, it's impossible to support the store with these sales, and it's very dangerous.

If the tacos go down, everyone goes down. If the tacos are out, everyone is out.

I look around the restaurant, which is deserted.

The first time I came here, it was such a lonely scene. ......

'............ I'm sure many people will come again. I'm sure.

These words, muttered to no one in particular, sounded as if Jeannette was saying to herself, ............ which convinced me that she was thinking to herself, 'This situation is lonely. 'I'm going to check the stalls.

'I'll check the stalls.

'What?Oh, yes. Have a safe trip.'

With Jeannette's voice at my back, I left the store.

It's ...... pathetic that I talked so much.

It's hard to fall once you've risen,......, and I don't have time to be upset about such a small thing.

You promised me. With Jeannette.

I promised Jeannette I'd fix the sunny side up.

"I'm going to make it a popular diner that attracts more customers.

"We're going to make it a place where many people gather every day. ......

Remembering this, and feeling a strange sense of frustration, I quickly made my way to the main street.

The main street was crowded with people today, a depressing sight.

There are so many people that you wonder where they usually hide. ...... Oh, it's so annoying.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

...... So you're saying this annoyance is self-inflicted?Give me a break, please.

Hmm?

...... What is it?

A few of the people passing by are looking at me and talking quietly.

Are they talking about 'oh look, he's super hot'......?

...... No, that's not it. There's a guy over there with a big beard who's doing the same thing.

...... Well, I did stand out so much on the main street.

It's no wonder some people remember my face. It'll fade away.

You know what they say, a rumor lasts 75 days. ........................49 days, right?...... one hundred and eighty ............?

I'm not sure.Oniichan!

'Oniichan!

As I was walking down the street, thinking, I came across my sisters who had opened a store in the middle of the main street.

This is store number seven, the popcorn one.

A bunch of little kids are flocking to the sweet smell.

'Hey!How's it going?

'Great!

These energetic smiles of my sisters seem to be gaining popularity these days.

No one calls the hamster people 'slum dwellers' anymore.

I can leave the store to them with no worries. ......, or rather, I know.

I know that the place where my sisters set up their stall has bodyguards sent by Assunto to keep an eye on them behind the scenes.

I don't know if he's apologizing for sending the mantis man, or if he simply thinks it's in his best interest to have me on his side, but he's been providing me with bodyguards without my asking.

And he's doing it without telling me. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but I think it's a good idea. ............

It's a good idea to take a look at your own personal life and the way you live it.

'Hey, bro. Can I come visit you when it's sold out?

'Yes~?

'I don't mind if you go when it's sold out. ......'

It's rare for these guys to say they want to go out and play.

Their work is an extension of their play. But they dare to say they want to go.

'Is there somewhere you want to go?

'Yes!

'Hmm!

They nodded with too much energy.

I wish I could share this energy, just a little bit at a time.

'You know what?In the square!

'Yeah, yeah!In the square!

'There's a statue of a hero!

'Yeah, yeah!

'A statue of a hero?

By the square, I suppose you mean the central square at the end of the main street, where the street vendors set up their stores.

According to my knowledge of the Middle Ages, the church is at the center of the district, and the area in front of it is called the central square. ...... The church here is somehow located in an extremely remote place.

Therefore, the central square of the 42nd district is really just a square.

It's not even a tourist attraction, it's just a big empty space. If there were street vendors, it could be a date spot. ......

I wondered if there was a statue in such a place.I can't stop thinking about it.

And a hero?

I've never heard of any heroes since I've been in town.

In other worlds, there are mysterious folklores that tell of the exploits of heroes, heroes, and warriors of light, but there are no such things in ...... this city.

At least, I've never heard of it.

I mean, that's just the way it is, isn't it?

I've never heard of it, at least not in my life.

.............................. I'm sorry.

Suddenly, something cold runs down my back.

No, no, no.

It's not ......, but it's ............

I'm sorry!I just remembered something urgent!I'll see you later!

I said a short goodbye to my sisters and ran through the crowded main street.

I headed for the central square.

And then--

'Na......!

--I saw it.

'What the hell is this?

I saw a statue of a hero standing proudly in the middle of the central square where street vendors were setting up their stores in a circle.

No, it's not a hero!

This statue is ............ This is, no matter how you look at it, ............

'That's me, isn't it?

I don't know who did it, or why, but it's ......

There was a statue of me standing in the middle of the central square.

It was a statue that looked exactly like me, with my left hand on my hip and my right arm stretched out straight up, dressed in an embarrassing manner as if I were a 'hero leading the crowd'.

What kind of joke is this,............?
