we will need to use nails, but does the village have them?」
「I’m certain that Father has some, but I don’t know their amount. How many will we needed?」
「Let me see, about 100 or more....」
Although it was still possible to build without them, but it was easier to use nails because they could firmly fix the components together.
It was easier to bring it from Japan, but the nails sold in there were not made from wrought-iron.[9]
Although the nails were unlikely to be seen after they were hammered down, if it somehow happened, the outcome would be better if they used the bronze nails of this world.
「I don’t think that it will reach 100..... They can be obtained in the town, so I will now go and call the villagers to make preparations for travelling over there.」
「Is there a town near here?」
Kazura sensitively responded to the word ‘Town’.
Since his arrival in this world at this Grisea Village, he had not seen another human settlement, so he wanted to see the nearest town.
Because in the Town there might be more people, it should be more prosperous than this village.
「Yes. About 2 day journey from here is the Isteria Town that is governed directly by Nelson-sama. Since there are a lot of shops, we could buy nails in there.」
「I see..... Is that town considered a big town?」
「Yes, it is. It’s the biggest city in the Nelson-sama’s domain. There are a lot of large buildings in there. It can’t be compared to this village.」
Kazura’s curiosity was intensely stimulated by Valetta’s explanation.
Originally, he wanted to see various place in this world, so after hearing about it, he was dying to see that big town.
「....... I also want to go to Isteria... Does sounds like a good idea?」
「Eh?」
Because he saw Valetta’s puzzled expression, Kazura hurriedly made a follow up on his words.
「Of course, I won’t go wearing these clothes. Although it pains me to say, I will need to borrow clothes from someone......」
「Ah, Yes.... Then, I will consult my Father about the clothes.」
Although Valetta was troubled in her heart because of Kazura’s intention to join the group that would travel to the town, she couldn’t immediately approve of his wish.
Besides, the clothes that Kazura wore today were out of the norm. But, if he changes into clothes that were not different from what the other villagers wore then she thought that maybe there wo’nt be any problem.
「I’m sorry for it. Please accept my selfishness.」
Hearing Kazura make such request while giving a bow delightfully, Valetta thought that she should immediately consult her father.
✦✧✦✧
「Kazura-san will go to Isteria as well?」
「Yes. Since he will go after changing his clothes, he could also go accompany us, however.......」
That day, after lunch, Valetta consulted her father about the conversation in the river.
By the way, Kazura was secluding himself in the residence to make「Components Blueprint」.
「Well, if he changes his clothes then nobody will bat an eye to him at the town, so it should be fine, right? If afterwards, Kazura-san behavior stands out too much in the town, then you all just need to be more be more careful and stop him.」
「Un....... But, will it really be fine?」
Valin was smiling wryly to his daughter that held her head down in anxiety.
「Why do you worry so much about it? Isn’t Kazura-san actually Greysior-sama? He couldn’t possibly to do something untactful. Furthermore, if he is accompanying you, you won’t need to worry about being attacked by beasts along the way. Actually, shouldn’t we be thankful?」
「Un, that is true, right?」
Hearing Valin’s words, Valetta replied while raising her face again.
「Then, I will inform the other villagers that will go to the town. After that we will go and catch some Arcadian Bugs.」
「Umu[10]. Then I will make preparation for the firewood.」
And just like this, without Kazura knowing about it, the matter was settled without any problem and the decision to prepare for the journey to Isteria was made.
✦✧✦✧
「Oh ho, Isteria, huh? It really had been a long time.」
In front of Valetta, who came out from the residence, every villager from every house that could participate in the travel to Isteria had gathered.
Because it will take 2 days worth of travel, it will be better to act as a group to be safe along the way.
Moreover, by sharing the burden of luggage it will be possible to carry as much goods as possible and then they can be sold in the city.
「Yes. With that said, is it all right with Lodurr-san[11] and everyone else to go to Isteria? Kazura-san will also accompany you.」
Lodurr leaked out an ‘Oh!’ sound after hearing it.
「Because Kazura-san had kindly offered to travel with us, we will be safe. I understand, since there is too much firewood left, I will also travel together with you.」
「I’m glad to hear it. Then the time for the departure is early in the morning 2 days from now. Thanks for your cooperation.」
Valetta and several other villagers had reached an agreement and then together with them, she went to the forest to catch Arcadian Bugs to sell it at the town.
✦✧✦✧
At the time, Kazura saw from the residence’s window that the scenery beyond the fence started to be dyed with the sunset’s color. He had finally finished the components blueprint, so he stretched his body a bit.
Inside this large notebook were components’ drawings. They were rough and sketchy, but the components’ shapes were also simple so the drawings lacked the dimension size description. But, it was not a problem.
Besides, there was no need for an accurate component size anyway. Thus, the components’ size margin[12] also was not jotted down.
While Kazura was examining the components drawings, someone knocked on the door.
「You can enter.」
The one who knocked the door was Valetta. After she heard Kazura’s reply, she entered the room while carrying clothes in her hand.
「Kazura-san, about the matter regarding Isteria, we will depart at the early morning 2 days from now. This is my Father’s clothes. I hope you can wear them.」
「Is that true? Thank you very much!」
Kazura’s received the clothes from Valetta and was overjoyed like a child.
Anyway, this is his first journey after he arrived at this another world and his first visit to a big town.
The other day, he couldn’t see the appearance of Isaac that day, but at the town, he would be able to see all kind of people from every job and walks of life.
Maybe he could see a garrison equipped with weapons like sword or spear. Also, since he had been informed about large buildings, Kazura was very thrilled now.
「Then, while Kazura-san is absent from this village, the remaining villagers will start to build the waterwheel. For that, it will be necessary for them to receive instructions about how to built it.」
「Ah. That’s right. I understand. Tomorrow, I will talk to the villagers about it.」
「Thank you very much. Then, since we will be having dinner soon, shall we go to the living room?」
After this, at the dinner, Kazura was asking this and that about Isteria in high tension. Valin and Valetta were a bit surprised and asked to themselves if he was really looking forward to it that much. Then they politely answered Kazura’s question one by one.
