Chapter 17
Today is the first day to go to the forest with my feet.
Not a tote bag with a stone board, I also carried a slightly smaller basket than everyone, and had a scoop that could only be seen as a wooden horn to dig up the soil.
Am I the only one who thinks that I can dig the soil with this ladle and rely less on the plastic scoop, which is a toy for children?
As I swung around a scoop of wood that seemed to break soon, my father grabbed my shoulder. After deciding to go to the forest, repeat the line that you heard enough to octopus your ears.
“Mine. Today I just go to the forest and come back. All the way home is full of luggage and tired. Mine aims to take a break in the forest and return with everyone. Do you understand? ”
“I know”
My father looked back on Turi with a bitter expression as to whether he was worried about my reply alone, or whether he had heard many times.
“Turi, I think it’s tough, but I’ll ask you to consult with Lutz so that Mine can come home by the gate”
“Yeah, I’ll round it up early today”
Turi, full of sense of responsibility, is burning in a sense of mission when asked by his father. Today’s Turi looks a bit harsh.
When I went outside, some children were already gathering with the same bag. There are 8 children, from a child who does not have much physique to me, to a large child that is slightly physique like Turi and Faye.
Faye with a pink head is leading and Turi walks the tail. I am at the beginning when I start walking and at the end when I arrive.
“Now, Mine. Let’s go. Don’t break the pace.”
I can walk to the gate normally, but this is my first time to walk to the forest. And my pacemaker is Lutz.
For about three months, while walking through the house and gate, Lutz seemed to have mastered the speed that I could not overdo. It is thanks to Lutz that I can walk without overwork recently.
“Thank you, Lutz”
“No, I don’t care about my house”
During this time, there was a final disposal of Paru’s pomace at Lutz’s house. Paru, which can only be taken in the snow, seems to get worse at a stretch when it gets hot.
Therefore, instead of the usual thank-you & thank you in the future, I taught Palberg, not Okara Hamburg, which increases in Okara.
It looks like yellow paprika, but the contents are boiled with tomato-like pomegrass to make a sauce, and cheese is put on it. Paru’s gentle sweetness gives the taste an unexpected depth and I was surprised.
By the way, Lutz and the older brothers were crying seriously. Of course it was delicious and I was impressed by the amount of food I could eat.
Aunt Carla was also impressed by the fact that “Mine’s food is friendly to the household”. Certainly, if there are four boys eating that much, the Engel coefficient is amazing?
“Why didn’t Palberg tell me during the winter?”
“If you don’t have fresh meat, you can’t make mince. And it’s hard to make mince. I didn’t know if you would cooperate …”
“Oh, that’s hard, but I can’t do my best for Mine’s cuisine”
I didn’t have enough physical strength to beat the meat until it became minced, and I knew it was hard and I couldn’t tell my mother to make it. . I think I was lucky to have everyone make it at Lutz’s house and eat it together.
While walking, walk to the forest. Walking while talking is fun and long, but there is no fatigue after arrival.
While I was collecting, I sat down on a slightly larger stone and recovered from fatigue.
Lutz said, sitting on the stone and worried about me repeating a rough breath, sipping his back.
“Since Faye and Turi are also baptized, Mine will have trouble getting used to the forest quickly”
“… Why?”
I knew the Turi baptismal ceremony because I made clothes and hair ornaments, but I couldn’t understand what would change after the baptismal ceremony.
“Turi will start an apprenticeship after the baptismal ceremony is over? Then you have to go to the forest alone for half a week”
Lutz pointed out that I widened my eyes.
When Turi starts work as an apprentice, it means that I need to help instead of Turi.
“Well, what should I do … I didn’t think so”
mine has been sick and has been living peacefully until now, since Turi was a sister who cares for anything. If Turi is gone, I probably can’t live.
Lutz laughs and rubs his nose to me, who has been drawn to blood.
“Well, I’ll protect Mine without Turi. Mine is weak”
“Thank you, Lutz. See you next time”
“Oh, I’m going to pick up the kite, so Mine should take a break. If you can’t go home, wouldn’t it?”
So saying, Lutz went to pick up the candy.
When Lutz’s footsteps moved away and no one was around, I began digging a hole with a scoop of wood.
My goal today is “go back to the forest and come home. I know that.
But though!
Can I come to the forest and return home without any challenge? No, I can’t!
dig, dig, dig hard!
I want clay soil, but how much can I dig it out? Assuming that the geology is similar to that of the Earth, I feel like I could not reach clayey soil unless I dig deep enough.
“That!”
stab the shovel to dig the soil. I tried my best.
However, the tip of the scoop named scoop was not stabbed by a centimeter.
Hard!
Eh? Can you dig this?
It feels like digging up the ground of a well-ground playground. The forest soil was full of moisture, and it was soft, but it was completely betrayed.
Is the soil bad? Or is the scoop bad?
Yeah, it ’s a shovel.
There is a difference between scoop and cloud mud I know. I want a metal scoop at least, not wooden.
However, whether the scoop is wooden, whether the soil is hard or soft, there is no option to praise me. Even if it doesn’t go a long way, there is no choice but to dig in the first place.
Roughness …
shave the soil little by little with a wooden scoop.
Excavating clay-like soil is a task that seems to require considerable patience and power. It’s not likely to be done in a day today.
It seems quite difficult to make clay plates. I can only pray that papyrus can do it more easily.
Rough Clinic …
When I dug about 5 cm, there was a sound approaching someone’s footsteps.
“What are you doing, Mine?”
Lutz, who picked up a lot of wood in both hands, sat down on the ground and found me moving the scoop.
“You promise not to get tired in the forest today?”
Certainly, I was promised when I left the house, but I knew it was in front of me and I couldn’t stand it. I was going to stop it before Lutz came back, but I can’t stop it when I started.
…… What should I do?
If you are a father, you can be misled by a smile and a hug, but Lutz only appoints you to be a watchmaker, and you can’t be misled by such a thing.
If you are going to become a demon, you have been deeply questioned and asked more severely.
“Oh, that … but, Lutz”
“… but what happened?”
Lutz engraved a deep fold between his eyebrows and put his hands on his hips and looked down.
It is a signal to start the interrogation.
Well, vomit obediently and ask Lutz for cooperation and get angry with “No thoughts!” Or fail to try to deceive and be angry with “I don’t think Mine’s lie passes me!” Which is the lesser damage?
“What should I do when I should have taken a break?”
“… Oh, I’m digging a hole!”
Ruth, who was standing and shaking the angry aura, had zeroed the truth.
Lutz, I’m scared if I get angry.
If I’m not good enough, I won’t be able to go home before closing.
“You can see it. Why are you digging?”
Lutz’s anger doubled, although he should have answered honestly. The line of sight looking down became extremely cold.
“Well, I want clay soil”
“What? What do you want?”
I tilted my head so that Lutz couldn’t understand. It seems that my anger has faded a bit because of the suspicious expression.
“I want badly drained soil that is tightly packed and feels heavy”
“… Then, not here, there are more trees and grasses there?”
Since clay is a poorly drained soil that makes it difficult for plants to grow, it is certainly more efficient to look for those with fewer plants.
“Lutz, thank you!”
“Hey! Mine, wait a minute!”
When I tried to move slowly, Lutz caught my neck. Neither physique nor power is comparable in me and Lutz, so I can’t escape.
“Lutz, take me away”
“Mine’s work today is a break. Can you hear this ear? Is it necessary to collect it now?”
screaming while swinging my arms with my ears.
“It hurts! It hurts! Because it’s not related to life, it’s just what I want. I can’t ask anyone for Turi!”
Utsu , holding her ears and rubbing her with tears, Rutz shook slightly.
I don’t know if I didn’t think that I would be argued or I was afraid of my love for my book, which basically doesn’t stick to things.
However, instinct tells me not to miss this opportunity. Now is the time to attack.
“If I’m quiet, do you say Rutz will dig !?”
“… I’ll dig when I’ve picked up today’s firewood, so keep Mine quiet.”
I got stuck in an unexpected reply. You can only look at Lutz with Pokhan. Even though the selling word is the buying word, Lutz is probably stupid.
It would be better to collect as much as possible than to help me make a clay plate that has nothing to do with it.
“Lutz, that feeling is nice, but Lutz should be about himself.”
“Mine is weak and I can’t dig the soil, so I’ll do it. Instead, I can tell you what I want to use the soil for, and what Mine wants to do.”
“… Why?”
“If you know what Mine wants to do, you can eliminate waste. You’re still clear about the soil you want, but have you dug out of the wrong place?”
Uh, I was hurt.
Certainly, in my case, even though the purpose is clear, I don’t know the name here, I don’t notice it because it looks different from what I saw in Japan, I don’t have the tools at hand, and I can get lost There are many.
Thanks to pointing out exactly, I found out that the words that helped Lutz just came out, but I don’t understand why it helps.
“Why does Rutz help me?”
“Nh? When I was really hungry, did you make a paru cake?” At that time, I decided to help me, Mine. “
Eh? that’s all?
Is it enough to dig clay?
The effect of delicious food is amazing.
But I can’t understand the feelings of Lutz who does such a hard work with a single hot cake, but it is a helpful word for me.
Since he says he will do it, don’t hesitate to ask Lutz for help. In particular, it is best to rely entirely on physical fitness.
“… Then let Lutz. I’m waiting for you.”
“No. I’ll end things right away”
Lutz really picked up the kites in no time.
And he will guide me to the poorly drained soil. It is a low place that is a little slanted in the forest.
“It’s around here”
Talking so, Lutz picked up the scoop I brought. Lutz digs the soil with a scoop like a wooden horn.
“Mine. You didn’t mean that you prepared and brought such a thing, you didn’t want to keep your promise from the beginning?”
“Wow !? Well, that is … Well, I finally came to the forest, so I couldn’t stand it … finally. Planned”
Lutz, who dragged his face, stabbed a scoop into the ground to explode his emotions.
“Don’t be wary, so Mine looks like a secret, but you can’t be wary!”
“Lutz can stay alert … because he is sharper than his father”
“Uncle is too sweet for you!”
Lutz digging with anger, unlike me, digs the soil with just a wooden horn. Unlike me, which was sharply crushed, it was strange and unavoidable that the earth was drowning.
Is this a difference in power? How to put power? Are there any tips?
“That? The color of the soil has changed?”
When Lutz dug about 15 cm, the color of the soil changed.
“Is this what I want?”
Try to grab the soil that was dug up a little. A soil that is hard, sticky, and changes shape in your hands. No doubt the clay I was looking for.
“This! It would have taken me days if I was alone! Great, Lutz. I’m strong.”
“No man has less power than Mine”
Talking so, Lutz digs more clay soil.
I carried it on a large stone little by little, shining my eyes on the pile of clay. How much clay can you make with this?
Just thinking about it, it seems that this earthen critter is loved.
“So what do you do with this?”
“Nfufu, make a clay plate”
“Nendovan?”
“Yes”
I knead the clay soil, which is the crystal of Lutz’s sweat, to make a thin clay board.
On a finished clay board, a thin wooden stick that had fallen nearby engraves in Japanese the folk tale that my mother taught in the sleeping story.
If possible, I would like to write in these letters, but the words that Otto teaches are all related to work. I can write a canonical title and a letter of introduction, but I still can’t write words for everyday use.
“Is Mine writing a letter?”
“Yeah. Yes, if you record it like this, you can read it and remember it again. The record is amazing. A book with such a long spell is even more amazing.”
“Hey …”
“Lutz, thank you for digging the clay. If you want to collect something, can I go there? I write here”
“I understand”
The story I am writing now is like a dwarf’s shoe store in a different world. Even if the letters were engraved on one piece of clay board, it became a masterpiece with a total of 10 pieces of clay board.
“Yes, I did it!”
I wrote down to the end and wrote the word “complete”, and I trembled with excitement.
Great, clay board!
Done, clay board!
Great Mesopotamia civilization, thousands of years old!
¡If you make this clay plate boiled so that it doesn’t collapse, it’s truly complete. While holding the stick, I looked back at the clay board I had written so far.
“Ah, ah, ah!”
At the next moment, I screamed with my hand on my cheek, like Munch’s cry. The head turns pure white in an incredible sight in front of me.
Lutz, who had returned to the nephew with a collection, rushed to me with a rush.
“What, mine !?”
“Fay was stepping on! It got messed up! … Wow!”
¡The first half of the story I wrote so hard has been messed up by Fei and his children, more than half of the story. It’s full of footprints, and the shape is completely broken, and of course you can’t read letters.
“Sorry, I’ve been able to do it … terribly … I’m afraid! How much time do you think it took to get to the forest?” How hard it was to build up this sick body I thought… .Lutz and Turi were involved, and it was finally completed! The pink of Faye’s head is an unthinkable pink in the flower field in the brain !? Stupid! ]
An adult who is mentally good may be unsatisfactory, but wept. Neither tears nor throat can be stopped. Regardless of the spirit, let’s say that there is no problem because I look young.
üTuri came running around changing my blood in response to my screaming. Listen to the situation before and after, and praise me.
“Mine, don’t cry that much. Not because everyone was offended, right?”
The crumpled clay board does not return, whether or not it is bad. My resentment and anger that have been trampled on the finished finished product cannot be subdued in Turi’s words.
“No! I will never forgive you!”
hoo, hoo, tears and runny nose, rubbing Faye and others banging on my sword curtain.
“May I make it again? I mean, I’m going to help, and I think they’ve done bad things, can you help me?”
“Oh, help me! It was bad”
Faye and his children shook their heads and promised to cooperate, so that Rutz could pass.
“… I understand. I’ll make one more time”
Since the clay board was completed for the time being, the direction was not wrong.
Let’s be satisfied that it was easier to complete than Papyrus.
But don’t forget to nail Faye and his children.
“Don’t think there is a second time”
It seems that I was brilliantly topped for a while in the “Relatives ranking that must not be angry” rumored among children.
