Childhood Anime Grand Tour

Ashitaka wanted to go out for some fresh air, but when he passed the ironworks, he remembered his promise to the women and wanted to see Tatara again.

Ten female workers were working on either side of the bellows. It was a very strenuous job, so the girls worked in three shifts. As soon as Ashitaka walked in, the female workers who were resting nearby subconsciously straightened their clothes.

There are actually quite a few male workers here, but Ashitaka is special, which makes them instinctively shy.

"Haha, handsome, you really came!!"

The one speaking was Ah Shi, the leader of the female workers and the boldest among them.

"Hehe, Sister Shi, I came over to see if you need any help! Can I step on it?"

Although it was a question, Ashitaka had already started taking off his shirt, revealing his muscular chest, which made the girl next to him blush.

Unlike Liu Yufei and Dadara, who are muscular weightlifters, Ashitaka's muscles, while lacking explosive power, possess a harmonious beauty. Overall, not a single muscle or line is superfluous.

"Hello, may I try it?"

The girl, who was working hard to pump the bellows, was speechless when Ashitaka appeared behind her. She could only instinctively put down the rope in her hand and let Ashitaka do it.

To be honest, with Ashitaka's succubus appearance, standing shirtless behind you, which girl wouldn't be confused?

Before the girl could react, the girl next to her had already turned away shyly. Ah Shi smiled and said:

"It's alright! Since he's so sincere, let him come!"

As Ashitaka climbed onto the board, a man's strength caused the two sides, who were evenly matched, to lose their balance. The girl opposite him was lifted up by him, and all the girls laughed joyfully.

Meanwhile, the girls who were resting nearby also came over. Sure enough, mental pleasure could sweep away physical fatigue, and Ashitaka's heart was also infected by the women's heroic spirit.

"Sisters, we can't let outsiders outdo us!!"

"Hahaha..."

As Ah Shi spoke, the atmosphere on the field became even more lively, and the girls put in their best effort. Liu Yufei, who came out, happened to see this scene.

He was stunned by what he saw; they were all so happy! Why was that?

Liu Yufei couldn't understand it, but he could feel it and couldn't describe it. In the end, only one sentence remained in his mind.

The vibrant scene of all things flourishing and competing for life is still vivid in my mind!

"Haha, it's so lively here!! Ashitaka, you've got it all!!"

"Would you like to join us, sir?"

"Haha, let's forget about it!"

"Sir Samurai, come on over!"

Following Ashitaka's invitation, Liu Yufei no longer refused and immediately stood opposite Ashitaka. With Liu Yufei's addition, the balance on both sides was broken again, and the wooden planks creaked and groaned. The girls seemed to be playing on a seesaw, and they became even more cheerful.

"Haha, don't push yourselves too hard, or you'll run out of energy very quickly."

"Yes! This job is quite tough. Do you do this every day?"

"Yes! Sometimes we have to go on the field for four or five days in a row!"

Ashitaka was startled by what Shiki said, and Liu Yufei was also taken aback. He could feel the force of the foot stomping. If someone stomped on it for four or five days in a row, it would be extremely taxing on them.

Because it was to maintain the furnace temperature, this manual bellows must have been running non-stop, which suggests that Dadala's manpower was still insufficient.

"Compared to the outside world, what's a little hardship?"

"Yes! We have no worries about food or clothing here, and we don't have to be at the mercy of men, all thanks to Lord Black Hat!!"

In chaotic times, human life is worthless, and women's lives are even less valuable. If these women were outside, they would become appendages of men. An object does not need its own thoughts.

But what Huanji is most important is not bringing them a life, but bringing them a philosophy. She uses her philosophy to create a life. That is Huanji, the amazing Huanji.

The phrase "spirited and vigorous" is usually used to describe young men, but at this moment, I felt this surging vitality in these girls.

"Hahaha...."

Liu Yufei suddenly burst into laughter, a very happy laugh that left the girl next to him completely bewildered.

"Dadara, what a wonderful place!!"

Liu Yufei really had no words to describe Dadala. He was once a young man with a deep mind and a strong will, but he was defeated by reality time and time again.

But these people are different. If Liu Yufei was a coward who fell in reality, these people are heroes who rose from the ruins.

Not only Liu Yufei, Ashitaka also fully understood Tatara City at this moment, but the more he understood, the more desperate Ashitaka became, because everything before him was obtained by sacrificing the forest.

So after the laughter subsided, Ashitaka's thoughts returned to the paradox, and the smile disappeared from his face.

He really likes Dadara!

Liu Yufei's smile gradually faded. Unlike Ashitaka, he didn't have so many worries. Dadara was just too good, but that's precisely why Liu Yufei felt it was unreal.

That's how people are. Once they've tasted happiness, they won't want to swallow pain again, and vice versa. Once they experience too much pain, they'll instinctively resist happiness. If something is destined to be lost, it's better never to have it at all.

And everything will pass. When the old man drew this part, his feelings must have been extremely complicated. Japan also had an unforgettable period when it had no worries about food or clothing. How similar it was to Dadara!

But in the end, dreams always shatter. The sweeter the dream, the more heartbreaking the wake-up call. And what awaits is the loss of ten, twenty, thirty, forty years...

At that time, just as now, the joyous times are gone forever, but those who remain must continue to live. When Eden collapses, even God can only stand by and watch.

Just as Dadala's development relied on its forests, and its unrestrained exploitation did indeed bring it a prosperous life, so...

What will be the price?

Do you think you don't have to pay it back?

The gifts that fate gives you always have a price tag attached!

If you don't pay, someone else will. The debts of the father are the debts of the son—it's only right and proper. But unfortunately, most people are delusional. "After I die, who cares about the deluge?"—Louis XV said this, and his grandson was sent to the guillotine.

Liu Yufei finally understood why he was bound to the travel system. Some scenery is destined to be seen only once, and some places are destined to be visited only once.

In the end, these female workers came up to replace the two, because a piece of iron had already been produced. They would take turns working each time a piece of iron was produced, and this shift had already lasted until late at night.
