staple food is leaves and stems of aquatic plants after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will not be able to eat during races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, they cannot practice during races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t care if it’s just a small pond, but it would be great if there were two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you can’t, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll take care of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that you built this pond yourself so I thought I could leave it to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s impossible, I

shrine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shrine is a shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You want to be independent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, there is also a need for a resting place for the guards, a waiting area for lost children, and a simple infirmary for those who are not feeling well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high elves of Big Tree Village and I built all of those in one fell swoop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We also prepared a place to sell betting slips and a place to give out winnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the race is over, the winnings will be given to the people whose name is on the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s some high level of trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the house lies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or what if names go missing on the roster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone’s going to get beaten up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s a little scary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, we won’t lie to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I proposed a ballot system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is the style of horse and bicycle racing were using in my previous world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People will be asked to buy tickets for the swan they think will win and payouts will be determined by the sales of the tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winning swan ticket will be redeemed after the race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to use paper but there were preservation and other issues, so we decided to use wood stamped with hot iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent counterfeiting, it was decided to use special wood for the wooden plates and to put a hidden mark as it was stamped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the multiplier, or rather, the dividend rate, was to be introduced as a variable system, the progress and final results had to be indicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There comes the literacy rate of guests problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone can read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would at least like to think that they can read numbers but there are some suspicious people out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous races, the swans wore capes with numbers written on them but some of the guests did not recognize them as numbers but symbols.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we name the swans, some people won’t be able to read it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you show the competitiveness rating of the swans, some people just can’t read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wondered what to do but…..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s just go with all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swans will be named but they will still be required to wear capes with numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competitiveness rating will fluctuate but it will not indicate a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if they can’t read them, it doesn’t mean they can’t win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only changes the degree of expectations for the payout when you win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the house, whether the guests can read the multiplier or not, as long as we receive a winning ticket, we will pay out the corresponding amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, please get help from someone who can read or learn to read by yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shrine is located on a mountain northeast of Village Five and the pond is at the foot of the mountain where the shrine is located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the shrine, the pond is at west-southwest direction and from Village Five, it is at north-northeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the pond is a little north of the road connecting Village Five and the shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the road connecting Village Five and the shrine, a path had been created that led to the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s more of an animal trail but it’s easy to find because people are using it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, we decided to further develop this trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though we left it to the craftsmen of Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for food and beverage, there is a line of stores on the road to the shrine so there is no need to build near the pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I find it hard to invite the Goroun Company and the others since they can only make money on days with races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so I thought but the Goroun Company asked me for a place to open a stall just on the days of races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they asked, let’s prepare a place for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it will be too much work for the silver foxes to manage the stalls, so I had the Goroun Company take care of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want it to be managed with the cooperation of the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as everyone would have already expected, I don’t want to make the cost of opening the stall too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I don’t mind those who are willing to pay more get a better place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, is that how things will be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, we’ll just have to figure out the rest as we go along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just left out the biggest problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it’s not about the dividend calculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one is manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m talking about the greatest problem of the swan race itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are migratory birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since their stable diet is leaves and stems of aquatic plants, they are very territorial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They need to claim their territory and monopolize food in order to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, wans are not the kind of creatures that will inherently stay in one place and race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief: Can you do something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Odette: Can I?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TN: I missed the last part of the .
