Chapter 67

Chapter 67

I was taken by a gray priest, not a rescue room, which was available to the poor, but clearly an accommodation room. It is also a beautifully furnished room, and it seems to be a room for rich people and merchants who are introduced to the nobility even from the waiting room at the gate.

 

Cause is this costume …

 

Approximate household income can be judged by how much cloth can be used for costumes and by arranging colors and threads for embroidery.

 

Regardless of everyday clothes, my costume today is rare and fluffy, and the embroidery is only on the hem, but the flowers made from knitted yarn are sewn and are luxurious. The hair ornament is also a special specification, and if you look at first glance, you will be judged to be a Frida level rich man.

 

But … I don’t need to correct that I am a poor man, right? [It is a priest who decided on its own, and I can’t imagine how it would be handled if I returned my palm.] It ’s okay to say that you do n’t need to be honest.

 

“Excuse me”

 

Referring to my eyebrows, I was gently seated in a chaise lounge by a gray priest.

 

When I fixed my body with an armrest that seemed to stagger, my hair was pulled out almost at the same time, and my shoes were removed with a polite action.

 

To! ?

 

It’s too natural and natural. It seems to be when Yutte took care of this at Frida’s house. The gray priest is clearly used to caring for people.

 

When I forgot to sign up and opened my eyes, the priest stood up, arranged the bed, and carried me to the bed with a princess.

 

“Wow, that’s really okay”

 

“Lies are not good in front of God. This is a temple.”

 

Although it’s not a lie …

 

He was laid down in a bed and carefully laid a futon. The priest then puts the hair ornament on the bedside and places the shoes in front of the bed. Rather than a priest, it seems to be an expert side service and feels strange.

 

“I’m resting. I’ll come to see you later”

 

“… Yes”

 

The priest left the room with the pattern and door closed.

 

Since it is true that the body does not have much force, it lies in bed and waits for recovery.

 

It is decided that the family will ask the cause of the fall, but it cannot be said that it fell down because of laughing too much. Lutz who was worried must be angry. At the moment I thought so, I remembered Lutz who was approaching at Guoco, and laughed out.

 

When I was a little angry, my physical strength returned. Check the grip strength by holding or opening your hand.

 

Now what should I do? [I want to go to pick flowers.

 

There is a pot next to the bed, but if you do it without knowing the water, you will be in trouble. Perhaps the person who stays here is with a follower, so I don’t do it myself, but I don’t have a follower.

 

And I don’t want to be cleaned up by the first meeting priest. At the very least, I want to sneak up after listening to the water from someone and getting ready to do it myself.

 

Get up with a sled and shake your limbs lightly. It doesn’t seem to fall suddenly. I put my hair together with a heel placed on the bedside. In Frida’s house there was a bell to call people at the bedside, but it is not here.

 

It’s an emergency, let’s go find people.

 

I don’t know how long it will take for people to be found, so I want to act before I get stuck.

 

When I got out of bed and put on my shoes, I left the room.

 

Even though there are sculptures and reliefs on the pillars and walls, there is basically a white stone corridor. The footsteps of walking are echoed on the wall and heard loudly, but there is no footsteps other than myself, and there is no sign of people. For the time being, he starts walking to return to the place where the baptism ceremony was held.

 

… That? [Is it wrong to turn?]

 

Even though it was in the white temple, I could see some colors. The sculpture and stone statues are gradually becoming more sophisticated and gorgeous. It seems that the aristocratic family has gone in and out.

 

The blood draws away. If it is found by a nobleman, it will only be questioned and unfortunately annoying.

 

Bad. I need to get back quickly!

 

I turned around and came back, and began to go back on the road that came quickly. I want to get out of the nobility zone as soon as possible. We walk while pointing at characteristic mark so that we can come back without making a mistake.

 

Did you see this sculpture? I remember that cloth too …

 

When I was looking for a corner to go back to the room, I heard a regular footsteps approaching. After getting out of the aristocratic zone, I welcomed with my hands, but now I don’t want to find it and I want to avoid it.

 

If you are a priest, you can be afraid of being a noble.

 

Looking around, I was n’t able to hide in the hallway. I was found and caught.

 

“Who !? What are you doing here?”

 

It was a female priest who was tying her hair tightly. He has a clean face that seems to be able to work, but somehow has an atmosphere like a secretary with a certain appeal.

 

She also wore a priestly dress with the same gray design as the person who carried me. I do not know whether the design is different for men and women, or whether it is different for rituals and everyday use. Speaking of which, I don’t think there was a female priest at the baptismal ceremony.

 

Exclaiming that I was not an aristocrat, I apologized for having stepped into the aristocratic zone immediately.

 

“I’m sorry. My name is Mine who collapsed at the baptism and rented the room. I was looking for a person because there was no follower and no bell to call people. Then here … “

 

She looked at me from top to bottom and sighed unavoidably. I just put my hand on my cheek and exhale, but I can’t take my eyes off.

 

“After completing this request, I will send you to the prayer room where the baptism was held. Can you wait a little?”

 

“Yes, I will take care of you”

 

A priest with a slightly narrowed eye walks with the sound of knacks and shoes. I’ll follow with a small sprint, but it’s likely to fall down when moved a long distance.

 

“Wait here a little. I’ll finish my business.”

 

However, thanks to the fact that she moved about one room away, it was fortunate that she did not fall down.

 

“Ha haha ​​…”

 

When I whispered, breathing out a rough breath, the priest glanced at me with a bit of an eyebrows, and then pushed into the door.

 

While holding my hand against the wall and adjusting my breath, I suddenly looked into the room where she was in the back of the door that had been left open, and I was deeply breathed and hardened.

 

“Huh? … Maybe a library?”

 

Although it is not a very large room, bookshelves are lined up along the walls. Most of the shelves packed with paper and wooden bills are in the range I saw, but there are also shelves with keys and I do not know what is inside, I guess that precious books are stored did it.

 

In the center of the room, there were two long desks facing each other with the top plate slanted so that books could be read easily. The desks and chairs were connected for a long time as if they were in a university lecture room.

 

And from the upper part of the desk, there are six heavy books that are connected to the chain, with heavy and heavy chains hanging at almost equal intervals.

 

“…” Chain Library “”

 

Going to a foreign historic library was a dream of the Reino period. It’s a temple library in a different world, not a foreign country, but can this be considered a dream come true? A foreign library, a bookshelf with a lock, and a chained library, all read in books, Reino, who touched the history of the library, really wanted to see it.

 

The fingertips holding my chest tremble. You can see that the heart beats fast and blood circulates all over the body. Hot tears spilled from one to the next, witnessing the miracle that there was something in front of me that I had always wanted.

 

“I saw it for the first time …”

 

Although this is the first time for a chained library, I have never seen a book with enough library space. It’s not a big room, but it was a treasure trove of happiness for me who lived a life where I couldn’t find a single book.

 

Exactly this library is a paradise made by God. My God is here!

 

“Pray to God! Thank God!”

 

Enter the town and follow the town.

 

Library, I found a chain library, I was impressed, took a pose, then sat down and thanked God. I want to believe that my excitement and appreciation are transmitted though it is a little sloppy.

 

Wipe your face and hands with clothes and check many times to see if they are dirty.

 

After confirming that my hands were clean, I followed my priest and entered the paradise.

 

“Excuse me … Bub !?”

 

smashed the face as if it had crashed into an automatic door that did not open. Perhaps because it collided quite vigorously, the flickering blinking in front of me.

 

“Wow …”

 

I sat down and tried to find the entrance with one hand while holding the face with one hand. My hand does not move deeper than a certain distance. After all, there was an invisible wall. I tried tapping, but there was no sign of opening.

 

“What? Why?”

 

A female priest was in the ordinary. I don’t know why only I will be rejected. I felt like the darkness in front of me suddenly, and I hit the transparent wall with all my strength. I couldn’t see the invisible walls.

 

I can’t enter the paradise in front of me. I can’t touch the books I can see.

 

Is it possible to have such cruel torture? It’s too terrible to leave it here. God ’s stupid! Return my thanks!

 

“Yeah, put it in! I’ll put you in!”

 

Books are so expensive and rare that they only have nobles. I used magical tools to silence my child at the baptismal ceremony. It is no wonder that there is a device to protect precious books.

 

Even if I understand, it is too crazy. I am disappointed that I can see it but I can’t wipe my tears.

 

“I want to read it …”

 

The female priest just came out holding a bunch of papers that seemed to have been completed. Sitting back on the floor and looking down at me crying in the form of a transparent wall, she stepped back one step.

 

“… What are you doing?”

 

“Well, why aren’t I entering?”

 

When I asked a question while hitting a transparent wall, she looked back in the library and shouted “Ah”.

 

“Because there is a precious book, only temple personnel can use it.”

 

Favored light came into her brain. If only temple officials are available, you can become a temple official. God hasn’t let go of me yet.

 

I wiped my tears and runny nose and raised my hand.

 

“Question. How can I become a temple official?”

 

“… Isn’t it the easiest to become a shrine maiden apprentice?”

 

Apparently, in the case of women, it seems to be a shrine maiden, not a priest. If so, she is an adult, so she is not a female priest, but a shrine maiden.

 

“Now I will be an apprentice shrine maiden! What can I do?”

 

“You can get it with the permission of the priest or the temple chief. Let’s go to the prayer room.”

 

I shook my head to the shrine maiden who wanted to end the story.

 

“Where is the temple head?”

 

“Because the temple is over at the baptismal ceremony, you are in the room now … are you going now?”

 

You can see that she is donating, but I can’t afford to miss a valuable information provider.

 

“Yes! I can’t go home!”

 

“… I will ask the temple chief once.”

 

“I don’t know if he took my willingness to move, or if I decided from the costumes and decided to take action, but exhaled sighing, and she took me to the room of the temple head I went there.

 

Apparently I was getting lost all the way to the back, the room of the temple chief was nearby and I had to wait in front of the luxurious door until I got permission.

 

If you look around, you will see that high-quality ornaments and pictures are displayed, and you realize that religious greats are still rich.

 

“There is a shrine priest, and there is an apprentice to a shrine maiden …”

 

“Who wants?”

 

The exchange between the temple head and the female priest was heard through the door that was opened a little. The tension like a job interview is getting overwhelmed, and I correct my posture in the shadow of the door and quickly check my taste. One part of the clothes is slightly shiny with dry tears and runny nose.

 

“Yes, like a child who came to today’s baptism”

 

“Would you like to meet again?”

 

“Please come in”

 

I wanted to enter the room smartly, but the door was heavier than expected and didn’t move. Because there is no help for it, enter the room by sliding the body into the gap while pushing the heavy door over the heavy weight.

 

“Excuse me”

 

The room of the temple head was very similar to the room of Frida. There is a table and chairs in the center relatively close to the door, making it a sitting area. There is a bed with a heavy canopy in the corner of the room farthest from the door, and there is space for work in the opposite corner.

 

Work space with two heavy desks and bookcases. Then there was a display shelf, and the 30-cm statue of God and the scriptures and candles seen at the baptismal ceremony were decorated almost symmetrically around the scriptures.

 

The temple head and the shrine maiden are in the work space. I found that the temple chief ’s gaze pierced so painfully.

 

Slowly and deeply breathe. This is a job interview. Whether or not you can enter that library is determined by this interview.

 

“What’s your name?”

 

“I’m Mine. I’m the temple head, please. I want to be an apprentice to a shrine maiden. Please give me permission”

 

When asked to put both hands in front of the chest, the temple head smiled with a little fun and put a pen.

 

“Now, Mine. Can you tell me why you wanted to become a shrine maiden?”

 

“Because there is a library here”

 

¡When I answered, the head of the temple was a little surprised whether it was an unexpected answer.

 

“… Library? Can you read letters?”

 

“Yes, there are many words that I don’t understand. If you read a book, you know more words. So, as long as life lasts, I want to read through the book here.” [19459002 ]

 

The temple head sighed while holding the temple. I dropped my shoulder and swung my head.

 

“You seem to have misunderstood. The temple is a place to pray to God. Both the priest and the priest serve God.”

 

“That’s right. I know. That thick scripture that the temple chief read at today’s baptism was written about gods, right? To me, the scripture is God itself. Everything about God. I want to know everything about God. ”

 

“Are you a fundamentalist?”

 

The eyes of the shrine shining shimmered. I’m not sure if I should affirm or deny it.

 

I’m a little worried, but I don’t think the children who have been baptized together know these words. It ’s best not to say anything extra and keep it when you ’re not sure.

 

“It’s the first time I hear it, so I don’t know what it means, but I don’t have a cloud in my heart that I want to read the scriptures and know about God. Do you believe my prayers and wishes to become God apprentices and read all the books here to know God? ”

 

When I appealed to fold, the shrine chief, a little bit shy, looked at me from the top to the bottom and asked me to stop.

 

“I understand your passion. If you wish, you must be an apprentice to a shrine priest.”

 

“Is it true?”

 

“But if a family child like you wants to enter the temple, you’ll need a donation that depends on your passion. Do you know how much donation you need?”

 

Since it is a costume that seems to have money, let’s hang on looking at your feet. If you want to enter the temple, you can make the appropriate money.

 

I know that religion is not always made up of beautiful things. If you put in money, you only have to pay as much as you want.

 

Speaking of which, I’ve heard that many small coins are needed to buy a book. If you let me use the chained library, I can definitely read about 10 of these thick books.

 

Only Japanese bookstores know, but considering the market price of bookstores, I think you can read books in the library for the amount of one book. And if you think that the books in the bookshelf can be read as much as you can until you die, even if you think about the amount of money you want to leave to your family, you can put out a single large coin without worrying.

 

“I don’t know the price of donations … but I can give up to one big coin as long as I can freely.”

 

“It ’s a big coin !?”

 

The shrine head shouted and uttered a crazy voice. A shrine maiden puts her hand on her mouth and rounds her eyes. It turns out that the two respondents offered an overpaid amount.

 

“That? Too expensive? But it’s the highest amount, so can’t you get more?”

 

After the temple head and the female priest looked at each other, they coughed off with Gefungefun as if they were repaired, and looked at me with a serious look.

 

“Oh, I think it’s wonderful and delightful for the shrine to hope that a passionate person like you wants to become an apprentice of a shrine maiden, but is the baptismal ceremony already a job? Do you belong somewhere? “

 

Certainly, if you have decided on a place of work, you won’t be able to become a shrine maiden apprentice. But I have no place to work at home.

 

“I temporarily registered in the commercial guild, but I haven’t decided on my job. I was planning to work at home because my body was weak.”

 

“At home, merchant’s daughter? It’s impossible to belong to somewhere to become an apprentice of a shrine maiden. Leave the commercial guild and become a shrine apprentice, what do parents say?” [19459002 ]
 

“I’ll talk to my parents …”

 

I cut the word once there. There is no immediate answer for commercial guilds. Subscription was essential to buy and sell goods.

 

“Is it possible to withdraw from the commercial guild? What will happen to the money I have accumulated so far and the products that will be made in the future?”

 

The head of the temple was astonished as he praised the monologue that he wanted to put together his thoughts.

 

“Money saved so far? Goods? Isn’t it helping parents work?”

 

“No”

 

This is a chance for self-appeal to enter the temple. I remembered the interview precautions and talked about what I had done so far and what I got there. In about a minute.

 

“… If it’s not a temporary registration with the help of housekeeping, it might be better to negotiate with the guild chief so that you can become an apprentice just as it is”

 

The temple chief smiled as if impressed, and seemed impressed.

 

Talking with the people above is a great help. I thank you in advance, and I will leave the negotiation with the guild head to the temple head.

 

“First, I will talk to my parents”

 

“Oh, if you are dissatisfied with your parents, or if you have trouble, come to the consultation immediately. If you want to read a book, come to this room. You can’t enter the library, but the scriptures here Can be read. “

 

“Is it true !? Yes! Prayer to God!”

 

The moment I took the pose of Bac and Guo, I found that my body was leaning. Suddenly my blood draws.

 

Sorry. I was too excited.

 

Because there was no Lutz, no one stopped my excitement and runaway.

 

My body seems to have exceeded the tolerance without being aware of it. Instead, I felt the fever trying to rampage inside my body.

 

“… I’ve done it”

 

Botet! Cannot move after falling down. Let’s think that the body isn’t moving, it’s just as conscious. I turn my consciousness toward the person who gathers and eats the heat of eating a small amount in a fallen state.

 

“What !? What’s wrong?”

 

“ I stood up with the momentum to open my eyes and kick the chair down, as the temple head surprised me as I fell down in front of me and stopped moving.

 

The shrine maiden stared at me with a stunned expression and screamed with a small voice.

 

“… Speaking of that, you heard you fell down at the baptismal ceremony?”

 

“What?”

 

The shrine lord lifts his eyes to the shrine maiden who says so as to tilt his head.

 

I apologized to them without getting up.

 

“Excuse me, I was too excited. I can’t move, so please wait a while”
