Chapter 200
I Spent My Time Relaxing in Range Village
“A place where the children are happy… That is probably really important. No matter how much work there is, the village will not survive if the next generation doesn’t bear the load.”
“Indeed. Even if things are good now, it will mean nothing if the children all leave.”
They may make more money, but the time will come when they will have to let the next generation take over.
And if the children are gone, then it will all be over.
And so it was important to ensure that the children did not leave.
Of course, they couldn’t spend all their time with the children as well, so the balance was difficult to achieve.
“After this incident with the illness, I am unsure of our future when it comes to making wine. However, thanks to you, Mr. Takumi, the village is not in as much of a desperate situation as we would have been. Perhaps this will be a good opportunity to reconsider things.”
We knew for a fact that the wine had spread the illness.
Even if this knowledge wasn’t made public, rumors would spread eventually.
And so no matter how delicious the wine was, fewer people would want to buy from this village.
And so their income would be reduced greatly.
