      by Volare ## Chapter 25: Tunnel Construction This marks the end of Toma's childhood. The surveying revealed the tunnel's length to be 1200 meters. Even in modern Japan, this wouldn't be a simple task, although not an insurmountable one. What gave those working on the project here the confidence to complete it was the poles planted on the Lean Ridge. Before starting the tunnel's trial excavation, I hammered many poles into the ground. I showed them that if the poles were placed so that they appeared…

      by Volare Chapter 24: Tool Production The desert greening project would begin with road construction. John was put in charge of this construction. It was thought that he could handle construction supervision because of his military experience. The road construction surveying had already been completed, so the course design was finished. All that remained was to build it according to the plan. John had just gotten married, so he wouldn't be able to enjoy his newlywed life, but he would have to endure…

      by Volare Chapter 23: Desert Greening Project It was late autumn when we returned from the desert. The harvest from the fields was over, and the gathering of the "Kozo," the raw material for paper, had begun. Of course, we also joined in this work. Ladapole and Krim took the lead in directing the papermaking process, and I decided to concentrate on designing the waterway. I didn't finish working out the plan until after the new year. The outline of the plan is as follows: 1. Build a road along…

      by Volare Chapter 22: Resuming Surveying Toma and Ladapole finally managed to create a compass and level that seemed usable for surveying, just as early autumn arrived. It took almost two months after returning from the desert. The material for the magnet itself wasn't rare, but making a portable and easy-to-use compass was the challenge. It was difficult to make the magnet into a thin plate and have it rotate in a balanced way. Creating the level wasn't easy either. Creating a thin, uniform glass…

      by Volare Chapter 21: Awakening Around the time the village's living environment began to change, changes were occurring within my body. Facial hair was growing, and there were noticeable changes in my male parts. It was the beginning of what's known as puberty. In my previous life, I had naturally experienced this as an adult, but it was so long ago that I had forgotten. Anxious, I spoke to Jim. He was close in age and a close companion, so he was reliable. "That's proof that you're becoming an…

      by Volare Chapter 20: Village Update Having finished surveying the water source, we returned to Toriholi Village, where John had brought back a young man. "Toma, this is Krim, a doctor. He used to be Lord Midland's personal physician in the capital. We're planning for him to work not only as a doctor in the village but also to help with papermaking." The lord gave a simple introduction. He was barely twenty and didn't seem like he had ever been a personal physician. "No, I was just taken around the…

Mu Chuang entered in response and, after a single glance, said, "Too small, change to one that can hold them in." "Then help me pick one." Liang Ting whined, deliberately shaking her upper body, the "things" almost breaking free. "Choose a 38C." "Alright," Mu Chuang replied calmly, appearing…

      by Volare Chapter 2: Grandma Ilse The next morning, I asked Grandma if there was anything I could help with. It wasn't just about repaying her kindness for a meal and a bed, but I thought it was too cheeky to just eat and stay for free just because I was a child. "Well then, could you fetch some water?" Grandma said, and taught me how to draw water. First, I was taken to the village's communal well. "Good morning, Grandma Ilse," "Yes, good morning," There were three village women literally having a…

      by Volare Chapter 2: Mu Chuang is Straight Chapter 2: Mu Chuang is Straight Mu Chuang kept putting food on Lin Xi's plate while shamelessly stuffing his own stomach, completely ignoring the conversation between the elders and Aunt Zhang. To put it bluntly, he had seen Aunt Zhang's niece. She might be considered decent locally, but she was a far cry from the women pursuing him in the city. Therefore, no matter how eloquently Aunt Zhang spoke, Mu Chuang showed no interest. But since they were all eating at the…

      by Volare Chapter 19: Water Source Around noon on the twelfth day of being in the desert, as we crested the usual sand dune, we felt a change in the scenery. Visible beyond the desert was a ridge of barren mountains. There wasn't anything resembling vegetation on those mountains either. But it was clearly different from the sand dunes. Without anyone realizing it, we quickened our pace. As the sun began to slant and shadows grew long, we spotted a large shadow within the ridge. It was a place like…
