First was the hand-pump well and washing area. Here is where the wastewater passes through the drainage system via a gutter. There was also a dug out ditch enclosed by a wooden border, and lidded with wood again on top of it.
This sewage system was installed throughout the town, and eventually gathers all the waste and sends it to the river outside of the town through the bottom of the gate.
The sewage ditch that came from the town was made to be wide so that it will not clog. Since it was made from stone, it won’t break easily either. But, the sewer was only used for wastewater, and not human waste.
I mean, if human waste was discharged into a sealed room like the sewer, the town will stink and an epidemic might occur.
The next one is the restroom.
It was a small hut with four stalls in it. The stalls were divided into two, two stalls with urinals and another two with lavatories.
The stalls with latrines are quite dark, so it will be dangerous if you lose your footing. Thus, when it’s nighttime, you’ll need to be especially careful.
However, because there was no sewer for the restrooms, you’ll need to scoop waste out using a ladle and put it into the bucket, and throw it far away. When residents come to this town, I intend for them to dig a hole far away from the river and bury the waste there.
In addition, the bathroom was a public one of around eight tatami mats in size. They even have goemon bathtubs inside.
[TL: For those who was curious about goemon bathtub]
When I go pass the residential area into the main street, stores and inns were built on the right and left of the twenty meter wide main street.
Umu, this scenery is indeed beautiful.
Like this, when I looked around the whole town, I thought that the ordinary Edo town was amazing.
Anyway, I have built my home, and have also already built a town. With this, I don’t have anything to do anymore.
Later, what should I do for the residents who will settle down here..? I intend to make a future plan while reviewing the present status.
When I think about it carefully, I have already built such an outrageous town without much consideration.
No, I intend to reflect on it.
However, in this absurd situation, I need to retain some composure. To erase my loneliness and uneasiness, I used the skill [The Ability to make town].
That is why, from now on, I need to think more about it in the future, or so I thought while returning back to my home.
While sitting on the sofa, I opened the notebook on the desk and groaned as I held a mechanic pencil in one hand. On the notebook, I wrote [Purpose] of living in another world, [Long term Aim], and [Short term Aim].
First is [Purpose]: To live a peaceful life in another world.
Next would be [Long Term Aim]: To gather funds to make use of the ability to the maximum.
Finally, the [Short Term Aim]: To earn money from the tax from the townspeople.
To conclude [Short Term Aim] and putting it in action…
Umu. how do I get residents? In the first place, where is this place? Is it part of some country, or it is a land without people?
If this place is part of a country, how should I deal with the feudal lord? Do I submit to them, negotiate, or should I… Resist?
Well, there is a [Military Affairs] section in the [Merchandise Catalog]. In the Edo era, matchlock guns already exist. If I have money, I can even buy a tank.
『Awoken from sleep by Jokisen Tea, with only four cups of it, one can’t sleep even at night.』
Jokisen can mean steam-powered ship, while four cups can mean four ships. This was from a piece of Japanese Classic Poetry which described the fear of the shogunate when the Americans forced Japan to open herself to the world with only four steamships.
It was the so-called Gunboat Diplomacy.
[TL:Yeah I have some difficult at this part so I just write what I read on the google. If you want more detail on it you can google it]
If this world is like the European Middle Ages, then I may be able to do the same thing as what the Japanese Classic Poetry described.
However, the existence of magic was disturbing. I myself don’t like nor want to act like a barbarian.
[TL: Basicly he didn’t want to act with violence.]
Hah, I can’t collect my thoughts…
