Flying Whale's Wonderful Life - I Who Has Fused With An Invincible Weapon From The Age Of Gods Will Build A City On My Back - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Kaito completes the foundation of the city

"I'll do it! Let me be the leader!"

The noise in the auditorium died down for a moment as Sena bidded herself for the role.

And, as if a waves came back, they begin to buzz again.

"... Senchan, as the leader of the city?"

"Isn't she a little too young?"

"I know she is a good girl ..."

Other beastmen were clearly reluctant.

Well, I can't say I don't understand them.

After all, Sena is still fifteen.

Even if she, a kid have the necessary abilities, they can't help but feel worried when she were to suddenly become their leader.

However, Sena at this time continued raising her without losing to the surrounding voices.

I see, it seems like she is determined.

"I understand. Sena for now lower your hand."

Sena nods at my words and places her raised hand on her chest.

"Are there any other candidate? If not, Sena will become the city leader."

The beasts seemed confused, but no one raised their hand.

Still, they showed an expression that they were still worried in Sena becoming the leader.

Not a good sign. Should I extend some helping hand?

Then Garaf shouted.

"I think Miss Senchan is the best fit for the leader!"

He stood up looked around and continued on dignifiedly.

"There are new and old faces in the camps here, but everyone should have been helped by Miss Senchan at least once.

Didn't she share her hunted meat, or when anyone got got sick or injured she would fetch a medicinal herbs for you all and treated you all well.

I don't know anything thats difficult, but what's important for leaders isn't it a mind that cares for everyone around themselves?

Are you worried because she's a kid? Then shouldn't it be fine if we just help help her!

Just because someone's a leader, you don't just throw them with all the responsibilities! "

Garaf, who spoke a strong words, sat down wildly with his arms folded.

The other beastmen who listened to him lookingv dumbfounded, they soon nodded to his words as if they were biting on to Garaf's speech.

"That's right. It wouldn't make sense to leave everything to one person."

"It's exactly like what Garaf said. Miss Senchan has the kindness that's worthy of being a leader ."

"When Senchan is in trouble, we need to help her."

Thanks to Garaf, everyon's uneasiness went away.

I decided to take a resolution to boost their decision.

"So, is it ok for Sena to become the leader?"

"""No objection!"""

I nodded to the unanimous response and called Sena to the stage.

"Then, Sena who just became a leader, come forward."

"Ye, yes!"

Sena got nervous and stood up to the stage.

I hand over the loudspeaker and I urge her to say some greetings.

Sena took a deep breath and then began speaking in a clear voice.

"Thank you all for accepting me in becoming this city's leader!.

In the first place, I ran for the leaders.h.i.+p position because when I heard Mr. Kaito's speech yesterday, there was something burning in my heart.

It is difficult to express this feeling in words, but I wanted to value it. And for that, I thought I had to take the lead first.

I may still be a youngv and naive and may cause some nuisance.

However I will always strive to be a good leader! "

Sena bowed her head..

At the moment, crackling applause occurred.

"Good, Miss Sena! No, Our leader!"

"Let's do our best together!"

"You don't have to carry all tghe burden! Let's help each other!"

In response to the words of encouragement sent by everyone, Sena sniffled in happiness.

I also gently tap her shoulder to encourage her.

"Sena, I think it's hard, but I want you to do your best."

"Ye, Yes! I ... I will work hard nya!...ah, will work Hard!"

I haven't heard her say nya in a long time. It seems like she is feeling really nervous this time.

"Well, for a while, I'm also a counselor and facilitator, and you don't have to worry too much about it. Until you get used to it, just start preparing for your role as a leader."

"I, I understand!"

I got my loudspeaker back and turned around.

"Then, we'll resume the meeting. The next thing we want to decide is the rules of the city.

†

Rules, in other laws that everyone must follow.

――While it becomes very stiff, it is difficult to live a group life without deciding this.

It's wrongv tgo a.s.sume that everything will work out simply because there are rules.

The rules are only decided, and it is up to the individual to actually follow them.

Rather, the more rules, the less willingness people have to adhere to it.

With too many rules people stop understanding what they must protect, and rules are reduced to formality.

Therefore, it is ideal that rules should be simple and clear so that everyone can understand them.

In other words, it is better to keep it to a common sense level.

Beyond this, people must start studying the rules that were set, and the difference in awareness of the rules among individuals will widen.

In the first place, beastmen cannot read characters.

Even if we set complicated rules, they will only be able to tilt their head.

Also, from the point of view of the beastmen, there's a chance they might feel dissatisfied with being tied up by the rules again because they have been successful without them in the camp.

Instead of escaping the rules because they are bad people,they will start feeling that the rules are unreasonable after looking back at the time when they virtuous.

In fact, looking at the beasts here, they all are good people.

However, I can't just not enact a rule.

Even if it's fine now, the situation will change as the population grows.

So, the first thing I proposed was the rules for setting the rules.

First, all rules must first respect individual rights.

It stipulates that the rules are only for protecting the rights of individuals, and that restrictions or penalties will only be imposed if their actions harm the rights of others.

For one thing, all rules must not be retroactive.

This stipulates that rules that will be newly set according to the situation will not be applied retroactively. This is in order not to impeach individual actions later.

For one thing, no rule can ever make anything contrary to the previous two.

Needless to say, the above two rules are absolute.

The beastmen have favorably accepted the rules for setting the above three rules.

They seems to like the way the rules are for protecting individuals.

At the same time, rules that apply to individuals, such as "don't steal", "don't use violence", and "don't slander", will be set.

What is the penalty for breaking? In regards to this, I want them to have a personal interview with me.

Eventually, a specialized inst.i.tution will be established, but the time is not right yet.

Giving a small portion the right to punish others when there are only about 200 people is at risk of creating discord.

If I then, took the chance to take that role, that would hinder the independence of the beastmen.

So, if it is not to an extreme extent, I'm going to leave it to a personal interview.

By the way, the beastmen were very afraid of personal interviews with me.

Maybe the interview was just a name and they thought that they would be expelled to the ground.

It is not good to bind with fear, but if you misunderstand that much, it is convenient.

Anyway, the basic rules were unanimously decided.

In the future, meetings will be done to decide according to the situation at that time.

After setting the rules, we discussed what to do with work and land allocation.

However, this will be temporarily suspended.

Because beastmen differ in their strengths and weaknesses depending on the race, inequality occurs if they are uniformly distributed.

In other words, it is necessary to study after understanding each characteristic correctly.

There was also the question of what to do for those who have lost their body parts.

In order to solve these at once, I make a new proposal.

It is not a proposal that requires voting, but an event that is indispensable for future life.

"Everyone, let's do a health check!"

†

I decided to do a health check-more precisely, a close-up test-not just to prevent illness, but because I wanted to understand individual physical fitness.

With those information in mind, we can decide on the job a.s.signment.

Once the job is decided, the answer on how to allocate the land will be obvious.

Of course, I will respect individual's intentions and their wants.

Furthermore, since physical data for giving a prosthetic limb and an artificial eye to a person who is deficient in the body can be obtained, this is an event that can completely solve the problem.

Soon, the farm visit was postponed for tomorrow and I did a health check for all the beastmen.

I just hit a small reader called a biological checker, so I was able to finish the examination faster than I expected.

In addition, I link the name and biometric data that I heard, and created a family register.

With this, it is possible to take care of the troubles, and the foundation of the city is in place.

All I have to do now is to make adjustments while experimenting on production.

I think the medical examination was a good idea.

The prostheses, which were created based on the data brought back, were handed out to those who needed them by my own hands early in the morning the next day.

They were very surprised, but when I explained it was a magical tool, they accepted it pretty easily.

It's because they all think of me as a magician

Well, there shouldn't any problem as there are not much difference between science and magic.

Those who were able to regain their original function with prostheses and limbs rejoiced in tears.

Of course, I was happy, but it was a complicated feeling, given that it was originally hurt by humans.

And it seems that the other party was the same.

"It's strange, to have a human return a leg deprived by humans."

I was deeply moved by the uncle, a bearmen with no right foot who said so looking really grateful.

I laugh vaguely and finish connecting and setting the prosthesis.

"It's connected. Try moving your fingertips."

"Oh, oh, I understand!"

When the bearman placed his strength, his prosthetic fingers moved smoothly.

"It's amazing! It moves your fingertips exactly as expected!"

"Well, will you try walking next?"

I urged the bearman to stand up and walk on the spot.

"Yeah! I can walk! I can walk! Look, I can even jump!"

It was a weird sight to see a large man resembling a bear, frolicking like a child, but it also made me smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Kaito! You're a really great magician!"

I smiled and waved my hand, trying to get to the next beastmen.

But suddenly I changed my mind and asked the bearman a question.

"Well, do you despise humans?"

The bearman looked blank for a moment and then shook his shoulders.

"I'm sorry to you Mr Kaito, but I still despise humans. My right foot was cut off by a playful adventurer as a child."

"... I see, right."

"But ..."

"But?"

As I tilted my head, the bearman laughed mischievously.

"I'm more likely to live better than those guys. Thanks to Mr. Kaito. So this grudge may eventually be a laughed off."

I was surprised by the eyes of the bearman.

I didn't even think about thinking like that.

I know you shouldn't be willing to say that.

But I felt a little rewarded.

Yes, as a person who knows the thoughts of Isuzu, the former captain of Toyok.u.mo.
