Chapter 57
“Welcome, both of you”
“Turi, who opened the door with a smile, blinked his eyes several times with the crackle in the state that the door was still open.
“… What’s your father? You’re a scary face? Was it cold outside or was Mine heavy?”
“Turi, terrible”
When I showed a swell, my father smiled and said, “Mine is too light. Get bigger.”
laughed a little like Turi relieved, a little softening his father’s tense atmosphere. I apologized “I ’m sorry, I ’m sorry” and began to patter the snow that remained on my head.
“It was cold because it started to snow for a while”
¡Turi, who changed the atmosphere in an instant, clapped her lips while applauding in her heart. Turi imitated me and sharpened her lips.
“Mine was hugged by her father and was in the coat, so it wasn’t cold? I can’t do it.”
While laughing, I headed to the bedroom with a tote bag and coat.
In the kitchen, my mother was preparing dinner.
“Come back … Would you like to cook first?”
It seems that there was something from his father’s tense atmosphere and expression rather than what he said. After putting her eyebrows on for a moment, her mother begins to serve with a smile.
“Now, please eat”
“You are welcome”
Triggered by my mother, I started to eat dinner with a much smaller number of meals than usual.
dad who has not yet talked to him, but has carved in his eyebrows. Mother who is blinded. Turi asks the situation as if in trouble. The atmosphere is already heavy.
Listening to the three people, I carry hot soup in my mouth.
Is it okay to really talk? Talking about another year, Dad, will you go mad and run wild? How should I proceed with the talk? I would like to keep the money spent on magical tools as low as possible …
As the meal progresses, the heart begins to make a loud noise, with a keen interest in the following story.
“It was a feast”
The tableware was lowered once, and herbal tea that boiled herbs with a sedative effect by the mother’s hands was placed on the table.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
dad shook his head loosely when he said so while sitting next to his father. The light brown eyes point to me. The serious eyes of my father who couldn’t find a fragment of usual smiles were scary, and I took my breath away.
“It is Mine who said there was a story”
The whole family’s line of sight comes to me with the words of the father. I was just talking to my family, but I was nervous and my throat was dry.
“Well, my illness, but …”
What should I say? Is it easy to understand what you explain? Even though all that is going on, there are no words to explain the point. A strange sweat comes out, and the more you get impatient, the whiter your head becomes.
My father squinted when I looked for the words and made my mouth peel.
“Is the disease healed? I stayed at the guild head’s house for a few days and came back because I was cured. Isn’t it?”
“That conclusion doesn’t heal”
My head turned white and I skipped all the explanations and gave only the conclusion.
It seemed to be a huge bomb for the family, and after a moment of silence, the whole family peeled their eyes and heard a loud breath.
Immediately after, my father stood up with the momentum to kick down the chair and hit the table with a don.
“… What do you mean ?? Did the guild chief say that he would heal !?”
“I didn’t get cured, Mine !?”
Talked to the father in front and the next Turi, I waved my hands and sat down, trying to calm them down.
“Sit down, sit down a little. I don’t know much and I don’t know how to explain it, so I feel like I’m thinking …”
dad sat down with his back teeth so that he could hear a brutal sound.
My mother managed to calm down and got a cup with a trembling hand. Take a sip with Kokuri and encourage the future.
“Yes, please talk properly”
I saw that the next Turi reached out to the cup, and I also took a cup, took a sip and then opened my mouth.
“My illness says eating, it seems to be a very rare illness”
“I have never heard of it”
My father spoke to my words, but Turi whispered small, holding the cup.
“… I heard from Mine before. It takes a lot of money to cure”
“Money !?”
This time, my uncovered mother stood up. Look sick. I’m sure they noticed that they didn’t pay for the guild leader. If possible, I wanted to keep the amount down, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
“Mom, listen because I will explain”
“……”
My mother sat down slowly, looking at me.
I felt that everyone was right here, so I first started explaining about eating.
“Eat, there’s a fever that moves in your body, and it’s getting more and more. It’s extremely angry and I’m disappointed that I want to die. It ’s a disease that makes you feel like you ’re eating. ”
“I can eat …”
Turi stares at me as it turns deep blue. I look at my fingertips and the tip of my hair to make sure there is nothing really eaten.
“You can usually move the heat of eating as you wish. If you keep it in the middle, you’ll be fine, but it will increase more and more.”
“What happens if it increases?”
Turi grabbed my hand with trembling.
“I can’t keep me in, I jump out of the barn, and I’m almost overflowing from my body. I’ll be swallowed before it overflows. The guild leader used magical tools to suck out the heat, but he sucked it a lot, but this will increase again, so it will never heal completely What? “
Hurry up, Turi scolded me with moist eyes that seemed to cry. Wouldn’t it be better to say that you looked crying rather than being jealous?
When I was looking at Turi, I seemed to cry, and I diverted my eyes and drink tea and tea again.
“Later, Frida told me that the strange heat is eating me little by little, so it doesn’t grow so much. To heal the eating, you need magical tools, only the nobility. I don’t have it, so it’s very expensive, and it’s only possible to get a house like a chief guild with a noble class. “
“And then, Mine was saved … isn’t there any mistake thanks to the guild leader?”
頷 I lost my sight of my emotions and lost my power.
“Yeah, the guild leader gave me one of the magical tools that he had collected for Frida. But there was no longer, so he told me to decide what to do next.” ]
“Future? Is there any way to cure?”
The light of hope can be seen in the eyes of his father. Turi’s eyes that seemed to cry now also shone.
I feel that my eyes are full of family expectations, but I tell my family of options that are just a way to live.
“You contract with an aristocrat and you are killed, or you live with your family and die, …”
“Do you kill me? What do you mean?”
My father’s facial expression was distorted as if I couldn’t understand it. Turi tilts his head with a frightened face, whether the meaning of the words was not well understood. My mother is crumpled and holds a tight cup.
“Frieda is energetic because he has contracted with a nobleman, so he was handed over magical tools. He said he was able to sign a good noble because the house was a wealthy and powerful merchant. I don’t know what it would be like to deal with a contract and save my life. “
“… I can’t say it’s alive”
I also deeply stumbled upon my weak father. Because I walked my life as Reno, I can’t tolerate a way of life that is free from my freedom by the nobility.
“Hey, Mine. What did you do with the money? The magical tool you gave me wasn’t free?”
My mother opened her mouth just as I could not stand it. I whispered with my heart asking if I could have swept away.
“I’m fine because I paid”
“How much was it?”
“It was expensive, but if you think it’s the price of life …”
“So how much was it, would you like to talk? There is nothing hidden”
When I became murky, my mother lifted my eyes and got angry. As I whispered small, I slightly diverted my eyes and asked for the price.
“… two small gold coins and eight large silver coins”
Everyone peeled their eyes and opened their mouths to the amount equivalent to two and a half of his father’s annual income.
“Two small gold coins and eight large silver coins! How about such a large money …”
“… Mr. Benno bought the right for” Simple Chan Rinshan “. Instead of making everything right to make, sell, and price, Benno-san … … ”
“Yeah! Kang Chan Linshan was so expensive!”
Turi, who was always squeezing oil, raised a surprise voice. It only takes effort to squeeze the harvest that has been harvested in the forest. It seems that Turi cannot understand the feeling of buying it for a fortune.
“Yeah, it looks like you can make a lot of money if you sell it to a nobleman. There is already a workshop …”
When I started to talk about the construction of Linshan’s workshop in Turi, my father shook my head with a harsh face and sighed me.
“The story that has already ended is good. What I want to hear is the future story. Is the recurrence sure?”
“Yes”
“… How long will it be? You already know from Mine’s talk? Isn’t it because you didn’t want to hear that?”
“Why do you understand?”
I unexpectedly sighed to my sharp father. I couldn’t say how much time was left by my father who was so angry that he kicked the chair and hit the table. I thought so, but it would be difficult to escape.
“I understand because I’m a father …. Don’t try to divert the story”
The light brown eyes are looking at me with itchiness. I opened my mind thinking that I was determined to never be deceived or missed until I answered.
“… about a year”
“Oh !?”
“It’s been about a year until the heat of eating is overflowing, so I’m told to think about it.”
A heavy silence filled with silence. My father, who thought he was going to violently, squeezed his eyebrows tightly.
It was Turi’s throat that broke the silence.
“… Mine, are you going to die? Is there one more year? … That’s not the case!”
As if I stopped putting up with crying, Wow, Tully started to cry and jumped off the chair and hugged me tightly.
I turned my arm around Turi’s back and tapped his back to soothe.
“Turi, calm down. If it was true, I was already dead. Frida and the guild leader gave me the magical tool, so I could live for another year.”
My words that I said to calm down seemed to be the result of anointing the fire, and Turi shook her head with tears.
“Well … Don’t say you’re dead! Just a year! I don’t like that! Hik … I’m getting a little better! I can go to the forest together!” “I do n’t want Mine to die!”
At the time of Reino, I died of a big earthquake, so I didn’t see my family mourning. Was it saddened like this and made me cry?
And the obtained family also made me cry. No matter how much you are reborn, you are a miserable person.
“Don’t cry, Turi. Hey, please. I’ll try to find a way to manage the heat of eating even if I’m not a magic tool.”
“What happens if I don’t find it ?? Mine, you’re dead! You don’t like that!”
Tightly hugged, crying, and chest tightened. My back was getting hot and I was going to endure, but tears overflowed to me.
“Turi … Don’t cry. I want to cry …”
“Hi … I’m sorry, Mine. I’ll also search for it. I’ll look for a way to cure Mine’s illness … I’m gonna … But …
My father asked me in a quiet voice as I spilled tears and tried to stop crying.
“How do you think Mine? Is there a way to live like Frida?”
“Gus … I don’t think I want to live away from my family without knowing how to be treated by the nobility. Hiki … Frida has allowed the noble contract to allow me to live with my family. Then what if the contracted nobility would not forgive me? ”
I understand the answer.
“I’m sure you’ll be taken right away? Maybe there are fewer aristocrats waiting for you?”
“… That’s right”
I don’t know what the nobility is going to use. However, I think it is unusual to give time to those who have contracted. If you think you will be taken away as soon as the contract is over, the contracted person will have less time to be with your family.
“That’s why I think it’s okay if I die and live with my family. Oh, yeah … I don’t want to leave my family.”
“Mine …”
Tears were also in my mother’s eyes. Turn your face away and wipe your eyes.
My father was staring at me with no expression.
“I’m still a year away, so I’m going to do my best to do what I want to do so I can live without regrets … I’m fine with my family?”
“Mine is with me! Don’t go away!”
Turi seemed to speak for everyone’s voice, and his parents were just addicted to the words.
joy to be allowed to stay here, I wipe my tears and laugh.
“That’s where I want to consult …”
“Do you still have it?”
My mother told me a little, but it was a talk about getting my current condition about my condition, not a consultation. We want you to take consultation after having recognized medical condition.
“My work”
“Will you be a merchant?”
My father broke my eyebrows. I opened my mouth as I felt reassured by the father who listened to me calmly and without any excitement or rage.
“I was planning to do that, but I wasn’t even thinking about the prospects, or I couldn’t think of it … I couldn’t work with my physical strength?” Otto said that too. Is n’t it annoying? ”
“Otto guy …”
dad screamed with a voice that was frustrating and angry. Otto just gave an objective opinion honestly, but it’s too miserable if he hits eight. I added the idea that Otto gave me in a hurry.
“So we suggest that it would be better for you to sell your products to Benno or help at the gate while still doing work like writing letters and documents at home.
“Yes. Otto guy … Yes, yes, as Otto says, Mine is best at home. Don’t overdo it.”
laughing at the mouth
To agree with my father’s opinion, Turi and my mother who sneak into the throat while clinging to me whisper many times.
“I’m making a promise to enter Benno’s shop, but can I make it counterfeit?”
This is what I wanted to ask my parents who had no great knowledge about the work in this city. Will it break the promise, but is there no problem?
“I haven’t officially entered yet, and if I fall down suddenly at work, the other side is in trouble, so if I talk properly, I’ll be fine.”
“Well, then I’m afraid of the work I’ve found, but I’ll try to find a job with priority on the body.”
It may be a good idea to consult Benno first if there is a job you can do at home. It ’s only in the spring that we ’ll talk about the details.
“Fuaaaaaaa …”
Talking with me for a long time, the moment when the talk was interrupted, a big deficit came out of my mouth. The mother who saw it claps his hands lightly.
“If the story is over, go to sleep. It’s slow.”
“Yeah, good night”
“Ec … ugly … Good night, nothing …”
Still going to bed with Turi who is still crying and going into bed together.
“Turi, don’t cry. It’s cute that you laugh. Let’s do a lot together tomorrow.”
“Yeah, yeah. Play with Mine a lot. Because we are together.”
I dive into the futon while soothing Turi.
Immediately, Turi came into my futon and if I couldn’t go anywhere, I would hug and start sleeping. I close my eyes as if I should be relieved.
My father wanted to go more mad or fuss, but unlike my expectation, he listened seriously and spoke a few words. As I was happy to speak properly, my consciousness slowly dropped while breathing out relief.
I was sleeping with Turi in the way I wanted to be at ease, but I woke up because Turi was strangled. In a hurry, unleash Turi’s arm and escape from the spot.
Because I’m dead. If you can’t breathe, you’ll die even if you don’t eat.
I blinked my eyes while rubbing my neck. Usually, when I wake up in the middle of the night, a streak of light enters the bedroom that should have been dark. I tried rubbing my sleepy eyes several times, but it doesn’t seem to be a mistake or a dream.
It can be seen that the door is half open and the fire has not been extinguished. It seems that my parents are not awake because I can’t hear them.
Looking at the dark bed, my mother was already asleep and I could see a thick lump.
Did my mother forget to turn it off?
I went down the bed, approached the kitchen with my footsteps so as not to wake up.
My father was drinking alcohol alone in a dimly lit kitchen with firewood flames.
There is no cheerful drunk figure in memory, and silently crying alone while drinking a cup silently.
Listening to a voiceless voice, I gently looked away and quietly returned to bed.
