[D1 EE] Delivery For My Favorite Crab

[Miya Akari]

"Oh?" the Miya asks with a smirk. "Have your eye on someone then Yoshi-san? She's certainly a lucky one to have such a hard worker showing their appreciation."

[Koumori]

"It's for Miya Hiruka-sama. No eyes on her from me, but I figured she could do with a gift to show our thanks. Kaiu-sama's putting the fine details on it. I'm just doing the base work."

[Miya Akari]

She nods at that. "I see. Well, I'm certain it will be appreciated regardless. I look forward to seeing the finished product."

[Koumori]

"I hope you will see it when she wears it. If she does. I think it would be nice, but I can't say for certain." He paused, but then got a bit of a shit eating grin on his face. "You might could ask Kaiu-san over there to make one for you."

[Miya Akari]

"Oh, I'm not one for fashion Yoshi-san. Bit of thread to tie my hair up works just fine when it's needed," she says.

[Koumori]

He struggled to not roll his eyes and instead just nodded. "As Miya-sama says."

From her lounging spot, Kyo was looking at him closely, likely planning on how to chastise him for his little joke. "Yoshi-san knows we have other things to make that are more important, as well."

[Miya Akari]

Akari nods. "What's next on the building agenda after the housing? Are we planning a significant shrine or small temple yet?"

[Koumori]

"The shrine stuff is left to Asako-san. I cant even really say what the next buildings are for. I call them housing, but they could end up being the new hospital rather than the medical tent that we have now. I just make the buildings, but Moto-sama and Miya-san plan what they're used for."

[Miya Akari]

She nods at that, having assumed it might be obvious from some of the designs which buildings were which. But it made sense they used a repetitive set of standard buildings. Made it easier for construction crews to do the work quicker if they knew what went where already.

" I imagine it's a difficult thing trying to figure out which projects and structures to prioritize. Everyone has their own ideas I'm sure."

[Koumori]

"Oh, many. Some want to make a bathhouse, some want a geisha house, some wanted to make a market. It's all over the place and so they've taken to trying to lobby Miya-sama for what they want." She shook her head some and leaned back further.

"Waste of my damn time trying to build all of this extra stuff. We're not on a vacation."

[Miya Akari]

"Not vacation, but it's not a bad place to spend your off hours. More people need to learn to enjoy the sand and sea. We've got a crane artist that came in with the boat. Seems nice enough, but I imagine she'll potentially be trying to create work for you. All the new folks will probably have ideas for improvement honestly. They're not used to being without."

[Koumori]

"Do I look like I need more people trying to make work for me?" She arched an eyebrow, looking rather annoyed, though in a vaguely playful way. "I'd still say there's a difference between relaxing and then trying to get every main land amenity on a new found island. Though. Most of the requests have been from the Asako."

[Miya Akari]

The Miya nods. "And even with the number of new people, she'll likely continue giving you more requests than any others. I'll be sure to keep my requests to myself. Maybe I'll write them down, fold the paper up and burn them as an offering to the Fortune of Mercy."

[Koumori]

"May he have mercy on you, because I might not." She teased briefly. "It'll be a few weeks before I'm able to finish up my current standing projects. Then I could potentially do more, but until either then or we get another engineer, then that's that. Nothing more I can do without getting no sleep."

[Miya Akari]

"And we wouldn't want that. I think everyone would need some mercy if you didn't get your rest," Akari teased back. "You know I'm willing to help, even if I don't have the skill for it. I can at least move supplies around."

[Koumori]

She chuckled heartily at that. "They need mercy regardless of how long I sleep. Though... I will be able to do most of it on my own. Yoshi-san is here to help, as will be what other engineers come to the island, or at least workers like that. I'm sure you'll have your own duties to be doing, anyway."

[Miya Akari]

"Probably will. Many hands make light work. I hope you have many useful hands to help out. I don't want to keep you here too late though. Let me know if you need anything, right?"

[Koumori]

"I've got a crew of carpenters, which is all we really need for our houses. Right now, given the heat around here, we're doing temperorary traditional housing where everything locks in place via grooves. Later, when we've established that we're staying here long-term, we'll be building stone fortifications. But, if come up with a use for you, I'll let you know."

[Miya Akari]

"Lugging stones around?" she asks with a smirk. She then offers a bow. "Take care, until I see you again Kaiu-san. You as well Yoshi-san."

[Koumori]

"I'm sure you could, but I've got workers for it. Might make a competition out of it though." She shrugged, but then bowed to the Miya. "Have a good one."

Yoshi also bowed, deeply.
