Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 741

Chapter 741 – Floating Garden

The business at Village Four is over but the universal ship is not yet ready to sail.

According to Tou, it would take another two hours.

Thus, we wandered around Village Four.

The fenrirs are playing on the 10-meter diameter disk that Gou prepared.

Even the other fenrirs, who were scared of riding the universal ship, are playing there too.

The disk is not too high from the ground so they are not afraid.

I see.

The ground you are looking at is the flying Village Four so it’s actually quite high

Well, if you don’t notice, I guess it’s fine.

I understand.

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean you can break it so don’t play violently, okay?

What they are doing is still fine. Well, it will go down a little right after you get on and it gets up when you get off so it will return to its original height soon.

Gou and Kuzuden returned to the castle to finalize the plan to improve the living environment and Bell, who remained behind, explained the situation.

It is true that that thing goes down little by little the more fenrir get on and rise up little by little as they get off.

However, it returns to its original position fast.

If something heavy goes on or off, it will react accordingly.

The fenrirs are reasonably heavy even if it’s only one of them.

It can’t be helped.

However, is the same true with the wider disk?

No, as its size increases the tolerance for weight fluctuation increases so it’s okay. It wouldn’t budge with only a person’s weight.

Heh.

By the way, this disk is probably floating on its own but, how do you fix it in place?

Won’t it be left behind as Village Four moves?

There is a force field that surrounds Village Four. Otherwise, the air and wind pressure would make life very difficult

Indeed.

However, according to Gou’s plan, there will be a lot of these around, right?

Will the force field surrounding Village Five be strong enough?

We already have a plan on strengthening it that’s why we were bold enough to move this proposal forward.

It seems that the functions of Village Four are almost back in its heyday, aside from the armament of course.

However, there’s also a problemthe dragons.

Dragons?

Yes. I heard that when the universal ship was made, the dragons audited it. That diskit’s officially called floating garden but in a sense, it has a similar feature to the universal ship.

Similar feature?

You mean it also has arms?

Eh? Should it have arms?

No, no, it’s okay if it doesn’t.

I’ll tell Gou to consider putting arms on them.

It seems convenient but Gou doesn’t seem to like it that much, does he?

He won’t like it, fufufu

Since you know, you don’t need to tell him.

Well, I’m the one who suggested it though.

-0-

Let’s get back to the topic.

When Loo built the universal ship, she and Dors discussed a lot about the future production.

I’m sure that Dors doesn’t mean to harass her or anything. It’s just that the dragons oversee the evolution speed of magic tools.

However, it won’t fly around like the universal ship, right?

Actually, it can.

Really?

Because it is like the solar castle.

If you put it that wayI see.

You can also use the floating garden to go up and down the ground.

Can you elaborate?

It simply means it can be used as an elevator.

Elevatorin other words, elevator!

It is difficult to go to Village Four but using a small floating garden makes things easier. During our era, we used to use a floating garden enough for a single person to use. Ah, only royalty and big merchants can use it. It’s not something that commoners could afford.

I see.

In other words, the disk that the fenrirs are riding on can descend directly to the ground.

Yes and its descent is at a decent speed so there is less danger.

Even if I explain it to them that way, the fenrirs would be horrified.

Perhaps hearing my conversation with Bell, the fenrirs slowly dismounted from the disk and began distancing themselves.

Hahaha.

I won’t force you to use it.

We digress again. My apologies. Let’s get back to the topic. There is a chance that the dragons might stop us from using this floating garden.

But then, Gou’s plan would come to a complete stop, right?

We are already consulting Doraim-sama.

I see.

Hakuren-sama and Rasuti-sama seemed to be busy raising their dragonborns.

Yeah, they are.

Then, Doraim-sama, who’s dancing with radish on him, passed by

He passed by?

Well, since you were able to speak with Doraim, doesn’t mean there should no longer be a problem.

?

He said that there would be a problem if we let the floating garden fly independently. In order to solve it, he advised us to make them part of Village Four. If they are part or extensions of Village Four, there shouldn’t be any problem. He said we should just put a rope or something and claim it as part of Village Four

Eh

Is that okay?

It should be, right? I think it’s fine, right? Since it was Doraim-sama’s words, Gou accepted it and started to proceed with the plan To be honest, I’m full of anxiety.

I-I know what you mean.

Ehto, I guess Bell is having a hard time.

In the meantime, I’ll talk to Dors about the disksI mean, the floating gardens.

Thank you very much.

Also, I have a personal request.

Sure, what is it?

If there’s no problem with the floating garden, it would be great if you could put up a suspension bridge as well as ropes so that those who can’t fly can get around.

Ah, I see. I understand.

-0-

I returned to the village and immediately reported to Dors.

The purpose of this project is to expand Village Four, right? I already heard it from Doraim. If they tie them with ropes, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Doraim already reported it to Dors.

I’m sorry.

I was a little worried.

However, about the other use of the floating garden?

It’s okay. However, if you really want to use it as an elevator, only use it in this forest. In short, treat it the same as the universal ship.

Understood.

I’ll tell Gou and the others.

Are you planning to sell it?

No, I’m not.

It seems to be pretty expensive and I don’t want it to spread.

If it becomes widespread, there will definitely be falling accidents.

In Belle’s era, it is said that it was not unusual for mages to use flying carpets to fly in the sky but in this day and age, it’s not easy to do that.

Though I thought it would be a good place for the angels to rest though.

-0-

Omake.

Ah, the floating garden has been approved.

Loo was the one who said that.

You know about it?

Of course. I was the one who built the universal ship. If anyone would want to build something similar, they’d come to me, wouldn’t they?

I see.

Gou already consulted Loo about it.

However, they are pretty expensiveare you sure you wanted to expand Village Four using those?

Yeah, I’m already prepared to pay for it.

The purpose of that project is to improve the living environment in Village Four.

Partly because I also wanted to increase the spice harvest.

What?

Why are you looking like that?

Ehto

What’s wrong?

That price was prepared considering the price of raw magic materials I have to provide.

What are you saying?

Most of those magic materials and ores can be obtained from the herb field and hot spring of the village

What do you mean?

I was the one who put the price on them and I thought it would be Village Four who would pay for themhowever, since you said you, the chief, would pay for it, it will just go back to you.

Ehto, how about buying from outside sources?

We could ask the Goroun Company or the Dalfon Company but they could only find one supplier, this village. Only this village can supply them in large quantities.

Do you just want to see the money move on records?

Unnecessary. That would just burden the civil servant girls.

Let’s do it the easiest way.

Okay, let’s not use money. Let’s just put on record that they are material support of Big Tree Village to Village Four.

Please, do so.

However, Goh asked for your advice for the purpose of expanding Village Four, right?

You could have just done so from the start

Mr. Village Chief, can you tell me who was the one who always tells everyone that each village should be self-financing?

Hmmm.

Right.

I always believe in self-sufficiency.

Loo did the right thing.

However, this time, the goal is to improve the living environment.

It’s urgent.

Also, I thought that if the harvest of spices increased, we would be able to recover the cost.

I did no wrong too.

There shouldn’t be any problem.

It’s not good for Village Four to be the only one who’ll receive special treatment.

Let’s go to Village One, Village Two, and Village Three if they have any trouble.

As for Village Five, if there’s any problem, Youko will tell me.

Well, let’s ask her later.

-0-

Dors: I don’t really care even no matter how much you make them but you better be careful and make sure it won’t spread around the world.
