*This is a story about when I just arrived in the labyrinth city.
"Taifu, family~?"
"Are you from Taifu-san's family,nanodesu?"
When I was talking about the typhoon with Arisa in the living room of the labyrinth city, Tama and Pochi looked at me strangely.
"Isn't there a typhoon here?"
"Nyu?"
"Pochi doesn't know, nanodesu."
When I beckoned to them, the two of them hurriedly come to me.
No, even if you sit there with such hopeful look, all you'll get is a prototype dried meat.
--Eh, do you want to eat? yes?
When I took out the dried meat from the storage as a thank you, Tama and Pochi locked their sparkling eyes onto me, so I held it out in front of them and they jumped at it.
They are eating it.
It's soothing to watch the two of them munching on the dried meat.
"By the way, what were you talking about?"
"It's the typhoon situation here."
Arisa says in an astonished voice.
Oh yeah, that's right.
"There's a word for typhoon, so I think we have one here too, but I don't think I've ever encountered one."
"Come to think of it, I've never seen it before. The sense of the seasons is different from my previous life, too."
There is the city core. Perhaps because the climate is controlled by the government, we don't often see bad weather caused by natural disasters.
"Shall I ask someone who knows more?"
"Who do you have in mind?"
Arisa tilts her head, wondering.
I used the magic "long distance telephone" to ask my beloved Aze, the high elf of Boruenan Forest, about the typhoon.
"-Typhoon? If that's the case, it should be somewhere between Brynan and Boruenan."
So I decided to tell everyone about it...
"Do you want to see it?"
"Pochi also wants to meet Taifu-san, nanodesu!"
"Yes, I would like to confirm the information in the environmental library, so I declare."
"Hmm, experience."
The children want to watch the typhoon.
"It's dangerous to watch a typhoon."
"Huh? Is that so?"
As a sensible adult, I scolded her, but Arisa tilted her head with a strange look on her face.
"If you have magic, there won't be any problems, right?"
As Alisa says, " shelter"-If you have this magic, you can block winds of around 40 meters per hour and trees and buildings that may come flying at you.
The durability of the protective spell decreases with each collision, but if you keep it up continuously, you should be able to block it unless it's an attack from the Demon King.
If it still seems like a problem, we can just use Pitfall pit. You can also dig a hole and create a physical shelter using magic.
"Yeah, let's go then."
The children screamed with joy at my words.
◇
"Here?"
"Where is Mr. Taifu, nodesu?"
On a sunny southern island, Tama and Pochi look around.
"The wind isn't that strong either. Is a typhoon really coming here? Are we on the wrong island?"
``The typhoon will arrive around noon tomorrow. It's a fast-moving typhoon, so I think the winds will get stronger tonight.''
Yes, this island is on the predicted path of a typhoon.
There were other islands closer to the typhoon, but since we were already in the storm zone, we chose this island where we could watch the typhoon in peace.
"The typhoon is coming from the south, so let's go there."
There is a village of locals to the south, so I think I'll look for an inn there.
It's about the size of a small village, and there doesn't seem to be much boat traffic, so if there's no inn. Lets try negotiating with the village chief about staying at his house.
I can build a villa with magic, but it feels more realistic to survive a typhoon with a local structure than to build a sturdy house that won't budge from a typhoon.
From the perspective of the local people, this is an unscrupulous idea, but I hope they will forgive me as I will be helping with post-disaster recovery.
"There's a house over there!"
After crossing a low mountain, a village came into view.
It is surprisingly located on a hill far from the coast.
"Are there a lot of houses?"
"Ishigaki?" [Island in Okinawa]
"It's like a castle."
"They're all buildings with low roofs."
As the Beast Girls and Mia say, most of the houses in this village are one-story houses surrounded by stone walls.
Perhaps because it is a fairly large island, there is a thin river flowing from the mountains between the village and the fields.
"Master, Liza, t there are many buildings that are strong against long-range attacks with a small projected area, so I evaluate."
"Are the pirates going to attack?"
"Ahaha, it's definitely different, isn't it?"
"I think it's probably built to withstand disasters like typhoons."
I correct Nana and Lulu's misunderstandings.
"Who are you guys! You guys are so weird!"
A boy poked his head out from above the stone wall and glared at us.
"Pochi is Pochi, nanodesu!"
"Tama is Tama~?"
Pochi and Tama greet each other in a friendly manner.
"Hello, hello. Could you tell me where the village chief's house is?"
I asked the boy, handing him a candy bar.
"what's this?"
The boy wonders if he has never seen candy.
"That's candy, nanodesu!"
"Very sweet~"
"Sweeter? Is it sweeter than flower nectar?"
"Yes!"
"Yes, nanodesu! Let me show yo, nanodesu!"
Pochi shoved a candy bar into the boy's mouth.
It's quite violent.
"What are you doing-"
The boy tried to protest, but perhaps realizing how sweet the candy bar was, he started eating the candy bar vigorously.
"Ah, ah, what a waste, nanodesu!"
"Is it okay to bite?"
Pochi and Tama complain impatiently.
"Isn't it okay to eat it!"
"It's no good if you bite into candy, nanodesu."
"Candy is something to enjoy by licking it!"
Pochi says, ``This is what you should do,'' and licks her finger, like a candy bar.
"Like this?"
"That is right, nanodesu!"
"Perfect~"
Pochi and Tama nodded at the boy who obediently started licking the candy bar.
"Can you show me around now?"
" Follow me. This way."
Perhaps thanks to the boy leading the way through the village, the adults who saw us didn't show any wariness.
"Hey, is there really a typhoon coming to this island?"
Arisa whispers a confirmation.
"that's right?"
"Because, look—"
Arisa pointed to the people of the village who were leisurely working on their farms.
"...It certainly feels a little more relaxed."
It's a world without weather satellites, so people may not even be aware that a typhoon is approaching.
"That's the village chief's house."
While I was thinking about whether I should warn the villagers, it seems that I arrived at my destination, the village chief's house.
"Village chief, you have a customer!"
The boy ran into the house as if it belonged to someone he knew.
"You are noisy, Gwon."
"You have a customer."
"-Customer?"
I hear a voice that sounds like the village chief.
The boy seems to be named "Gwon".
"Okay, hurry up!"
Boy Gwon came back with the village chief.
"It's unusual to see guests. I thought they were from another island, but maybe they're from another country?"
The elderly village chief came out from inside the house.
"With that look you are a noble or a merchant?"
The village chief looks at me and says.
"I'm just a tourist today."
"-Kanko?"
The village chief didn't understand the word sightseeing, but when I changed it to "visitor," he understood.
"But there's nothing interesting for people in the city to see on this island, right?"
"I don't think so-"
In fact, the unique houses and stone walls on this island are quite worth seeing.
"--My purpose is to watch the typhoon."
"Taifuu?"
The village chief's face became even more suspicious.
It seems that the word typhoon is not popular either.
"Isn't that what we call it around here? Is it a big wind, a hurricane, a storm?"
"Oh, you mean a heavy rainstorm? In that case, it won't come."
The village chief confidently declared and looked up at the clear sky.
It's certainly sunny, but there's no doubt that a typhoon will come tomorrow morning.
"However, I saw a typhoon approaching this island on an airship."
"Don't worry. There is a barrier on this island that was set up by a wandering saint 100 years ago to protect against heavy rain and storms."
--Oh my god!
If that's the case, we need to repair the uninhabited island that was in the path of the typhoon after it veered off course, and build a villa for people to watch the typhoon.
"The heavy rainstorm isn't coming, but you should stay the night today. We'll gather the villagers and have a party."
The village chief invited me, so I decided to accept.
Of course, in exchange for the accommodation fee, I provided them with ingredients that would be prized on the island and plenty of barrels of sake.
I can build a villa in just an hour, so for today, let's just enjoy our vacation on this island.
◇
"--that?"
When I finished talking with the village chief, I noticed that the younger troop except Arisa and Nana were gone. The boy Gwon who showed us around too.
"What about the other kids?"
``Pochi and Tama seemed bored, so I sent them out to explore the island.''
As far as I checked on the map, there didn't seem to be any dangerous creatures.
"Then, how about we take a walk around the island too?"
"Um, Master. May I help prepare the feast? I would like to learn the cuisine of this island."
"Of course, I don't mind."
Lulu is passionate about research.
"In that case, I'll stay with you. I don't feel like leaving Lulu alone in a strange place."
"I'm sorry, Liza-san."
"I'm doing it because I want to. There's nothing to worry about."
After such a conversation, Liza and Lulu headed to the kitchen where the village chief's wives were gathering.
I thought about helping out too, but the kitchen was crowded with not only the village chief's wife but also many other wives, so I decided not to.
"There's really nothing."
"I think it's nice to have a unique atmosphere, don't you?"
"Yes, but~"
Perhaps because the houses were the same one after another, Arisa got bored quickly.
The difference is that newer houses have relatively high roofs, but perhaps because the construction methods are the same, there is nothing new about them.
"Then, would you like to go to the port?"
"That's right. Let's go."
According to the map information, it looks like the fishing boat is coming back, so if you find any good fish, buy them and have them serve at the party.
Although it's called a port, it's just a floating pier on a sandy beach.
It seems that the fishing boats unload the fish at the floating pier and then take the boat to the sandy beach.
"Hello, did you catch any good fish?"
"Huh? You a stranger?"
"Yes, I am staying with the village chief."
"Then you're a guest. We caught some good fish, so take it with you."
The fishermen were weary at first, but as soon as they realized we were the village chief's guests, they quickly became friendly.
"Thank you. Is this enough?"
"Is it money from a foreign country? It's sparkling and beautiful. I do not need any money, but my Son daughter Segare would be happy. Don't just take one, take all of them, including this basket.''
Perhaps he wasn't used to seeing gold coins, so he looked happy as he held them in the sunlight.
In this situation, a beautifully polished gemstone might have been more pleasing.
"Hey, uncle Khan. You came back early today."
Some villagers came to the floating pier.
"The sea is getting rough, so we ended early."
"-The sea?"
Apparently this island is protected by a barrier, but there's a typhoon coming close, so I guess the rough waves can be felt.
"Ah, the gill people and gill people were taking shelter behind the cape."
Fin race, mermaid and gill people are an aquatic subhuman races.
"Huh, that's rare..."
"Are you saying the fin people and gill people are evacuating?!"
An older villager asked the fisherman impatiently, interrupting the young villager who was trying to ignore him.
"Ah, it's towards Cape Bald."
A fisherman points to a cape across the sea.
"That is bad!"
The old man shouted.
"It's so bad! It's so terrible!"
The old man makes a noise with a desperate face that looks like his veins are about to burst.
"Calm down, old man."
"That's right. If you're a gill person or a gill person, you'll go somewhere once the sea calms down."
The surrounding villagers calmed the old man with puzzled faces.
"No! That's not the case!"
"Then what is it?"
However, the old man's excitement remains unchanged.
"It's a heavy rain storm."
"--Uh?"
"A heavy rainstorm is coming!"
Hearing the old man's cry, I and Arisa looked at each other.
Is this the reaction of people who had seen typhoons?
