Chapter 19
I was thinking of how Faye could be terrified while being enthused.
It was a little more!
Even though I was just getting a book!
If you can’t go to the forest and you are prohibited from bringing in clay, you won’t be able to get any more books.
I still feel that being invited to Japanese horror is the most traumatic.
‘I don’t know what all the people in this world are scared of, but I ’m going to keep my hair down and dress up like Sadako, and I ’ll count on the clay plates like Bancho Plate Yashiki… ? Not scary?
In the morning when the heat fell and I got up, my father had canceled the forest ban for some reason with a complicated face.
“… Tomorrow”
“What?”
“You can go to the forest tomorrow”
“Hey? Can I go to the forest? Why?”
“… It seems dissatisfied”
I’m happy to go to the forest, but the Japanese horror plan that I thought about in the past was ruined.
I practiced arranging miserable things and thought about clothes that looked ghostly. After that, I was just thinking about the stage and the situation. Is it around the well or coming out of the alley …
“I have no complaints …”
“But what?”
“… I’ve been thinking about various plans … Isn’t it wasteful?”
“It’s a waste! Throw away the plan right away!”
“Che …”
Well, if you can go to the forest and complete the clay board, no plan is needed. It ’s a waste of time playing with Faye ’s opponents, so it ’s obvious that when you go to the forest, you ’ll automatically have a plan.
Even so, what happened to suddenly changing opinions?
“After seeing my physical condition, I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll give you this!”
“Hey”
As expected, don’t be ridiculous like going to the forest suddenly after getting sick. I know the best of this body.
I was told that I could go to the forest if the heat did not rise one day, so I started preparing for tomorrow with excitement.
Put a board in the wall as an underlay that you do not know what to use in the storeroom. Then, she gently took out the rags she had set aside to make a cleaning cloth, and put it in her bag. Now wrap the clay board and take it home.
Well, I’ll make a clay board and make it!
It was heavy rain when I woke up.
It was also a record heavy rain around here. It’s a storm like a typhoon.
Sounds of wind and rain can be heard even when the window panel is closed.
“Oh, it’s raining!”
I didn’t feel like the weather in a world without a weather forecast. To be exact, there are many people who have fallen out of heat, and the family has not been able to go out unless they judge that it is safe to go out today, so the weather has never been a concern It was.
An image of a clay plate that collapses in heavy rain runs through the brain. No matter how much you hide behind the shrubs, this storm will be safe.
Niggaaaa!
My clay plate! I’m going to become a big roar!
“Hey Mine! Where do you want to go?”
“Forest!”
I suddenly tried to jump out, but was blocked by my mother’s wings.
“Even though it’s easy to generate heat, what are you thinking about going out in a storm like this ?! You can’t even go to a well!”
The sound of rain and wind that hits the doors of the house echoes well in the house even if it is closed, telling how severe the storm is.
When a normal person hesitates to even go to the well, I can’t go out. I sat down to the place and collapsed.
“My“ clay board ”is … a bowl that meets …”
“Mine, it’s okay. Now that everyone has helped you, you can do it much faster than before.”
Turi comforts me while stroking and stroking my head. Turi is really a nice sister.
Unusual heavy rain lasted for two days, and it was two days later that children were allowed to go out into the forest.
On a sunny morning, every child’s face appears to shine because he can go to the forest after a long time.
Today is a day without apprenticeship, so there are a lot of big kids and a lot more people than usual. Lutz’s brother Ralph seems to go to the forest with him, carrying a large spear and holding a bow and arrow.
“Yeah, Mine. Did you get down?”
“Good morning, Ralph. Already all right, it was a storm from the day my dad said”
“That was a disaster”
Ralf and my head were stroked, and Ralph headed to Turi.
“Yuri, Turi”
“Ralph, it’s been a while”
Ralf appears to have a firm face, probably because he started apprenticeship. And Turi’s sparkling smile that I am polishing for the baptismal ceremony.
A little wife, don’t you think these two are really nice?
Ralph and Turi are both caring and good looking.
When I looked at them while taking a sneak peek at them, I was drawn to Rutz.
“Wow !?”
“Mine, don’t be fuzzy. You’re slow, are you starting first?”
“Oh, sorry”
The children heading for the forest walk in groups and pass through the gate. In the scenery where the green should have spread, storm claw marks remained, and the farmland was terribly terrible.
Speaking of which, is there any compensation for disasters in this world?
Lutz shook hands in front of me with pattering as I moved my foot while watching the landscape.
“What? What?”
“No, I wonder if I can see it properly. Well, Mine. Do you make it today, that nendovan ?? What is that?”
Even if you don’t write in Japanese, Lutz can’t read the letters, so you don’t know what is written. Before that, it was a life without letters and paper in the house. You must know the splendor of the recording medium called the clay board.
I started to talk to Lutz because I had a strange sense of mission.
“That’s something you write about things you don’t want to forget. If you write it properly, don’t forget it? If you save it properly, you can watch it anytime. And that “clay plate” is one of the “recording media.” If you knead the clay, you can erase it by writing it with your finger even if you write it wrong, and you can save it if you burn it. Do n’t you think? ”
Lutz opened his mouth and leaned his head slightly, probably because of the explanation of the water on the standing board.
“… I don’t know well, so what did Mine write?”
“I wrote a story. The story my mom told me. Would you forget if you wrote it? I really want a book, but it’s not here. I make it.”
“Fun. Is that what Mine wants to do?”
Lutz asked and thought.
Since I don’t have a single book around, I’m thinking of making a book, but what I really want to do is not making a book.
“Wow, it’s a little different. I really want to do it because I live in a book. I want to make a lot of new books in January and get all of them and read and live.
“Well, do you want a book …?”
“Yes! I really want it now. But it’s expensive, I can’t buy it at all, and I can’t buy it, so I have to make it myself. I’m going to try and bake it. “
So, Ah, Lutz struck his hand as convinced.
“Mine is making a book now?”
“Yeah! Because I failed during this time, I’m going to make it a success”
“Oh, I will cooperate”
Lutz, who has somehow come up with something that I have come up with, would like to cooperate with Lutz.
“So what do you want Lutz to do? Isn’t there something that Lutz wants to do because you ask me?”
“I’m … yes, I want to go to another city. Travel merchants and bard go to various places and know a lot of stories? I want to see a lot of things.”
“Like that”
Speaking of which, I also wanted to go to various libraries in various countries and read books.
描 い Draw a dream that can’t come true anymore, and gently look down.
“… Do you really think so? You mean you want to leave this town?”
“Ah, it’s a good trip. Going here and there seems to be fun. I’ve always dreamed of visiting the” libraries “of” World countries “…”
“Huh, I’m annoyed when I’m worried … If Mine, I’ll do what I want to do”
“Lutz should do it”
My dream, when I was Reno, and my head full of things I wanted to do, had never seen what Lutz was doing at this time.
Finally, I walked on the dry road and headed for the forest.
The meeting place is a little open immediately after entering the forest.
“Now we’re collecting each one. The little kids don’t go too far. Make sure you can see this meeting place.”
The big children ran to the back of the forest with a bow and arrow.
Small children glance at me.
Just by arriving in the forest, I was already a hero, but I just wanted to investigate what happened to the clay plate and immediately looked around.
“Hey, who knows where the clay plate was?”
I couldn’t find the tree that marked me. Since it was days ago, I thought I had just forgotten, but everyone looked around as if in trouble.
“Did you mark the trees around that?”
Talk to Faye’s words with their children. The area that Faye pointed to was where I had a clue, and the storm had been knocking down several trees.
“I have a good idea of the place, so I have to look for it anyway”
When Lutz started looking for the shade of the shrubs, everyone started to move and looked for them together.
Not just Fay but everyone can help …
“Now, isn’t this?”
Although the landmark was broken, it was difficult to find, but Faye shook her hand with crouching.
When I rushed and looked at it as fast as I could, there was a crust that collapsed and could not read the characters. As expected, it is messed up and the chopped letters are no longer visible. The clay plate has returned to the ground.
Oh, I’m back to the beginning.
“This isn’t because I broke this time!”
“… Yes”
Explained as Faye was panicked, but I can understand it without being told so much. You can also see that the people around us are wondering whether or not to call out to care. You can see that you are using your mind, but the tears that come out cannot be stopped.
When I was leaking my throat, my footsteps approached. When I thought that the footsteps stopped right next to me, I hit my head lightly.
“Mine, if you have time to cry, let’s make it again”
Lutz’s voice comes to mind.
Yes, as Lutz says. It’s better to recreate it again while there are Faye who will cooperate with you.
I wiped up my runny nose and raised my face.
Do you lose?
Faith and others were the first cause of failure.
Time until closing is the second cause of failure.
The third cause of failure is storm.
I have already experienced man-made disasters and natural disasters. There can be no more cause for failure. Whatever you finish.
Since the clay itself was in a lump, it could be written by kneading it into a clay plate, and remember where it was when it was not enough. Compared to the previous time when I started searching for soil, it is a difference in cloud mud at the starting point.
All right. I haven’t returned to the beginning yet.
で I learned from my previous mistakes that I had to finish it all on a sunny day or work on the roof.
Today, we are blessed with the weather, and because of the full use of tears and anger, we have succeeded in appealing to guilt, or have been in the momentum, three assistants who have power and energy Is also increasing.
If the number of people who can help this increases, I will be able to make it without taking much time.
“All you need to do is help Lutz and Faye. Turi collects it.”
“I understand … Good luck, everyone”
“Yeah!”
I regained my support for Turi and will try to make a clay plate again.
Faye and child part 1 dig out clay, knead clay into lutz and child part 2 and have them molded.
All I do is engrave letters on the end of a thin tree.
Yeah, good condition.
“There were 10 ‘clay plates’ needed to write a story, so if you made it, go to the collection. Thank you.”
“O, rice cake”
Facies, who completed 10 clay plates quickly, headed for the gathering as if they were competing.
However, Lutz again begins digging clay.
“Does Lutz go?”
“Ralph is there today, so I’ll help Mine”
“Huh. Well then, clay is already good, do you practice writing on the ground?”
I stabbed a wooden stick that had been carved into a clay board into the ground, which was softened by getting wet in the rain, and wrote “Lutz” here.
“What is this?”
“Lutz’s name. Can’t I go to other cities unless I can write my name?”
人間 It is basically a face pass that people in this city go in and out of this city gate, but when they enter other cities, their names are asked and written. Former travel merchant Otto said so.
Actually, the gates in and out of the city are different from those in other cities, so it is difficult for people in other cities to check.
If Lutz wants to go to another city someday, he should write his own name.
“Now, Mine. Is this my name?”
“Yes, if you want to go to various places, it is better to practice writing properly”
While Lutz practiced his name on the ground with his eyes shining, I kept making clay plates.
Talk in Japanese for the first time in this world. While chanting in my heart many times that I would definitely complete the book.
“I have done it!”
One of the folk tales heard from my mother was completed.
I want to make “Mother’s Folktales” in this form. For me, it is a book full of stories that I knew for the first time in this world.
Wrapping the finished clay board in a rag, gently stacking it in a bowl so that it doesn’t collapse or disappear.
After putting everything in the bowl, he exhaled. My eyes become hot and tears gradually come out.
First completed.
A clay plate is a recording medium that isn’t really a book, but for me it’s the first book I got no matter what.
Living in this world came to the end of autumn and now is the end of spring. It took me a long time to get my first book.
However, when I realized that I could make a book, I finally felt like I had a foot on the ground.
“Even in this world, you can read books …. Then you’ll be fine”
In a world that is too expensive for the poor to read books, it was a reincarnation to a sick body that quickly fever, so it was good whether it was a little messed up or died.
Such a sick child’s body didn’t seem to be my body, I couldn’t think of a world where I could live in a world without books, and I couldn’t have a piece of attachment.
However, now that I have a book, I have made something I want to cherish. I felt like I found my own way to live in this world.
“Mine, did you do it?”
“Yeah, it’s done. Thanks to Turi and Lutz.”
Even if the feelings that Turi and Lutz point to were directed to Mine who was not me, it was true that it helped in making this book.
¡Remove the top cloth and show the finished clay plate on Turi and Lutz.
“Hey, Maine. What is this written on?”
“This is the story of the children of the stars. The one the mother told me the first night”
“First?”
Turi puts his eyebrows in a suspicious manner.
“Yes, the first story I remember”
This is a story that my mother told me in a low voice because she was too hot to sleep. The affectionate voice is directed to someone who is me but who is not. Words and feelings seemed to pass through me, and I couldn’t accept them. The affection that separated my spirit and deepened my loneliness was unpleasant.
However, when I decided to make a book here, only the contents of the book came up. If my mother’s sleeping story became an important book for me, I felt I could accept the love of sleeping stories.
“I want to record everything that my mom told me to remember”
“But it will disappear again?”
laugh and answer the anxious Turi.
“If it stays like this, it will disappear, so it will be baked and hardened. Then you can always read your mother’s story?”
About six months have passed since I started living here.
I finally felt like I could laugh naturally.
…… I was impressed when I finished it cleanly, but it didn’t end.
When I went home and immediately baked the clay board, it exploded.
No, really.
You may not know what you are saying, but it is not a lie.
Bon baked! What?
The first book I made scatters as soil smoke and soil debris.
There was no time for investigating the cause, and I was stunned, but for the time being, I was beaten by my mother and promised not to make a clay plate again.
That? Did you get back to full swing?
Ah, no, but I feel like I’ve completed it once and feel relaxed, so I went three steps down and two steps down?
…… What will you do next?
