Fifty-One Years Old, Building a Family in the Forest ~A Craftsman’s Life in Another World~

A craftsman through and through, fifty-one years old—Akio, the head of a small construction company, was caught in an earthquake while working on-site, and when he woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar forest. His only possessions were his wisdom and experience honed through years on-site, and a mysterious ability to “harmonize” with people and nature. By chance, he rescued five children fleeing from war. “There’s no way I can abandon these kids.” And so began his slow life from scratch in another world. Building roofs with plants, making stoves with stone, firing pottery. Eventually, an elf apothecary, a beastkin girl, and even a former princess with a complicated past joined the group, and Akio’s life expanded to the point where it could be called a “town.” A reliable father, a beloved husband, a man who acts for the sake of others— Age doesn’t matter. A fifty-something craftsman, together with his “family,” carves out a future in this heartwarming, love-filled, communal fantasy life in another world!
