Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World Chapter 115: Tsunami [1]
The Ryker Brick Factory gradually beca more active. Of course, the product hadn't been released yet. This was why Jansen devoted himself to research, wanting to further improve his skills.
'By the ti Asen is released, won't he be a respectable as his father was?'
Able wasn't much of an art person, but Jansen's bricks looked quite nice. Judging from the nobles' reactions, they certainly needed so more polishing.
Anyway, it seed like Able had concluded his first civil lawsuit quite well. Of course, this also included the disposition of attorneys Asen and Palr.
Maybe that's why, after a long ti, a pleasant holographic phrase appeared.
[The promulgation of the law laid the foundation for the rule of law.]
[The people of Deliat begin to trust the Governor-General's Office because of this aningful precedent.]
[However, this is largely due to your reputation.]
[If Abel Carriers leaves, there is a 60% chance that it will be restored to its original state.]
[A reward will be given.]
[Obtain an item summon ticket.]
"Ugh!"
A strange sound ca out of Able's mouth unconsciously. It was fortunate that no one was around, but if soone had seen it, it would have been quite embarrassing.
-What are you doing?
Oh, there was sothing. It was the voice of the mountain devil, Shuguri, who always slept stretched out on the windowsill of the Governor-General's office.
This guy was always sleeping because he was busy concentrating on the energy he received last ti. It seed like he finally felt like getting active.
-But why is it so noisy?
"What are you talking about? It's quiet now."
―I heard all sorts of strange sounds. They were all praising you.
"Do you even pay attention to that?"
- It's amazing. The fact that there's soone like you. People tend to change when they gain power.
"Ha! Isn't that what a guy who only lives in the mountains says?"
-Of course. What do you think of ? I can see right through you, the dark intentions of humans. Huh?
The way he yawned and drooped was cute, in a way that didn't match his true nature.
No, originally, it was said that angels were scary and devils were tempting.
'What a strange man.'
Able turned his head out the window with a sly smile. The scenery that Shuguri saw every day was changing differently every day.
Infrastructure and new comrcial buildings were being built as planned.
In fact, there wasn't much to say about the living infrastructure: roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, schools, hospitals, governnt offices, cultural buildings, etc.
It was qualitatively different from what modern people think, although it only had a na.
'It was worse than the poorest country on earth, but how have we developed this much?'
When such social infrastructure grows, economic activity becos smoother.
Deliat's potential was enormous. If only it could continue like this.
"No matter which governor cos, the country must be run normally."
To do that, Able had to quickly establish the rule of law and create a chanism to check power. A complex, intertwined, and balanced system needed to be created. Then the governor would not be able to act arbitrarily.
Knock! Knock!
When his mind was filled with complicated thoughts, sothing cold touched the bridge of his nose and cheek.
"This is…"
Able lightly swept his face and found a clear, transparent liquid there.
When this freezes and crystallizes, it becos trash that falls from the sky.
What kind of rain is this in Deliat, which is always clear and blisteringly sunny?
Able looked up at the sky with a bewildered expression, and it was dark even though it was broad daylight.
At the sa ti, an ominous sound was heard.
Rrrrrrr!
A mysterious feeling that sothing was about to happen. It was like a virtual thunderstorm was going on in his head.
"Oh, that's right! Rainy day!"
Deliat was a city built on a plain near the desert. There were no four seasons, only dry and rainy seasons.
Almost all the rain that would fall in a year ca down explosively in two or three months. This would create a huge area of floodplains, and countless lakes would form in the desert.
"I prepared hard, but isn't it a bit too fast?"
Able thought there were only one or two months left until the rainy season ca. He imdiately summoned the Governor-General's officials.
"Are we all here?"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor."
"It's raining a little bit. Is this a sign of the rainy season? I don't know the weather in Deliat very well."
"That's…"
The managers glanced at each other. They seed a bit reluctant to express their opinions. Not knowing why, Able shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please speak comfortably. No one will tell you if you are wrong."
Then, as the atmosphere relaxed slightly, everyone opened their mouths.
"It seems like the rainy season has been brought forward."
"No. This happened often. It would co and go, and then after a month or two, it would really start."
"There have been many cases of heavy rain at this ti of year, causing great damage. We should not jump to conclusions."
"But there's a much higher chance that it's just a regular drizzle."
Able thought the answer would co out quickly, but surprisingly, a tense standoff ensued.
Even local officials who had lived there for a long ti could not predict the weather.
Actually, this was normal because the climate was originally very changeable.
Isn't weather forecasting wrong even when you use experts on supercomputers?
There's nothing like that here, so they had no choice but to leave it to heaven.
'No matter what, we've reached a conclusion.'
Even if it was just a drizzle, it wouldn't hurt to prepare in advance. The rainy season would co soon anyway. If they had prepared thoroughly, the damage would have been much less than last year.
"Start operating the central headquarters now and as quickly as possible…"
Bam!
As Able was about to give instructions to the managers, the conference room door opened violently.
Even though he wasn't an authoritarian person, this was crossing the line. He knew they were having a eting, but how could soone be so rude?
Able felt like he needed to give a sharp reprimand, if not a disciplinary action. But that couldn't be done, because the next words were so surprising.
"Your Excellency, Governor! The embanknt is collapsing!"
'It hadn't even rained much yet, and this was already happening?'
Able couldn't understand it at all, but now was not the ti to lose his mind. He quickly opened the window.
One, the raindrops weren't very heavy. It was a bit more than before, but was this all that the embanknt could offer?
'That's ridiculous. It's a facility that was completed not long ago.'
However, in the place pointed out by the manager who had intervened, a phenonon that made one doubt one's eyes was occurring.
"Over there!"
Suhuaaaa...
It was pouring down a ton of rain only near the river, as if the ga was bugged. It was nothing short of a disaster.
Able looked around at the headquarters managers and shouted.
"First, issue an evacuation order!"
* * *
Oh my gosh!
A heavy tal sound echoed through Deliat. Officials from all over the city were ringing bells like crazy on towers. It ant to evacuate to higher ground quickly.
In fact, most of them were already running away in a panic because the people of Deliat had seen the river overflow countless tis.
"Wow, this is crazy."
When Able arrived, it was right after the rainy season ended. As it turned out, it was his first ti seeing such an incredible scene.
Of course, there had been big typhoons and floods in earth as well.
But the river didn't swallow up half the country or anything. It felt like watching a movie about a tsunami.
"Surely this can't happen every year?"
Able asked a question absentmindedly, his expression bewildered by sothing. Then, one of the officials who followed quickly stepped forward.
"It's not this bad. And this ti, the flooded area is much larger than usual."
"More than anything you've ever seen before?"
"I have lived in Deliat for 40 years, and this is the first ti I have seen such heavy rain. And the rainy season has co so early."
Even the locals were surprised, so you could tell how serious the situation was.
Able watched the situation from the bell tower. There was no trace of the embanknt that had been built two ters higher than before.
So of it was broken by the rushing water, and now it was completely subrged.
Looking at the condition, it seed like it would have to be raised at least 5 ters to be effective.
'No, who builds embanknts that high?'
There had never been a flood like that before. Able thought he had prepared properly in his own way.
"Let's build temporary bridges between the buildings to rescue the isolated people. We placed them in each bell tower, right?"
"Yes!"
"You can start working straight from here. I'll go over there."
"Be careful!"
"I'm fine, you guys take care of yourselves."
"Your Excellency, Governor…!"
The managers' eyes turned red at those worried words. Able simply didn't want to lose the employee he had worked so hard to hire. He turned around with a bewildered expression.
Now was not the ti to be distracted by trivial matters.
They needed to move as fast as possible to save even one more person.
Grabbing a ladder and a rope, Able quickly jumped over to the roof of the building.
