Chapter 87
Fran opened his mouth slowly after comparing Gil with me.
“Blue priests and shrine maidens are obligated to share the food, food and shelter, which is the grace of God, with the lower ones. I will come to live “
“I don’t have a room in the temple, so does it mean that I will stay in the orphanage even if I serve as a side?”
Franc said slowly, “Good morning”.
“And with regard to meals, the Lord eats the rest, side serving and side serving apprentices, and the rest is brought to the orphanage as grace from God. From the grace of God given at the orphanage Naturally, there will be more grace given to the side service. “
I didn’t want to leave my family and thought that I didn’t have to go to an orphanage, but I was just glad that I was able to attend, but there was a gathering due to breaking the temple custom I didn’t think I was heading to the side.
“Then, does Fran get stuck with the priest and go back to the orphanage from the priest’s room?”
If that’s the case, it’s natural to be slain and hit eight. It is not rewarding at all with the help of Franc. I intended to beat the salary on the weekend, but I must immediately ask the priest to improve the treatment.
“No, I haven’t moved out of the chief’s room, and Delia probably hasn’t moved out of the room. I helped the chief’s work while Mine wasn’t here. I have a meal there too. “
Speaking of which, the chief priest had a lot of work and should have lamented the lack of human resources. While I’m not there, I can’t leave an excellent franc open. Knowing that Fran is not in a terrible situation, stroke your chest.
“In other words, is it only that Gil is in trouble?”
“I think I’m angry with what I didn’t change when I was expecting better treatment. The grace of God in an orphanage is equal even without work. However, the side service can be replaced if it does not do the job. It feels a bit frustrating to easily think that you can enjoy the grace of the side service without doing the job. “
franc, who is proud of his work, glanced at Gill and said so.
“… Does this mean that there is no problem for Franc for the time being?”
“Yes”
“Then, for the time being, keep the status quo and think about it when francs are in trouble, but what about?”
“… I’m smart”
I wondered if I compared the current situation with when I got the room, but Franc said quietly.
When I thought that the story was over, Gil began to bark again.
“Fran, what about me, how about me ?! I am serving the same side as him!”
“… You say something strange? Gill said that if you didn’t think of me as the main thing, I told you first. I thought that I wasn’t the main and could prepare me for eating and drinking. Is it possible?]
I don’t think it’s a side-serving behavior that wants to improve treatment.
“That’s the role of a blue maiden! But what do you say will change because I worked for you who don’t want to give food or a room?”
“Salary”
As Benno paid for Marc and Lutz, I thought that I had to pay my salary properly. Of course, the salary varies depending on the amount of work and the quality of work. There is no reason to pay the same amount to Franc and Gil.
“… What is the salary?”
Gill blinked and tilted his neck. Lutz laughs with his nose and returns the same words as Franc.
“Did you know that? Isn’t it common sense to work and get a salary?”
“Jo, it’s not common sense!”
“The salary is the reward for the work done. The money I pay for the side service to work”
“Money? … Oh, oh money”
Apparently Gill doesn’t even know money. He leaned his head, but at the moment when he had eyes with Lutz, he looked like he knew.
“I have no intention of negotiating the room with the chief priest for Gill, who is doing my best, not for Franc, who does my best. I don’t have time to read books.
Even though the time for reading is limited, such as the help of the priest in the morning and the absolute absence of lunch, we cannot cut down on precious time any more.
“Now, Fran. Will you lead me to the chief? I am supposed to do paperwork in the morning with the chief.”
“I’m smart”
franc, me, lutz and gil come at the end.
“Well, what will change if I work?”
“Naturally, I will pay a legitimate reward for my work.”
“I’m sorry, Priest, Mine arrived.”
“Oh, have you come? How are you feeling?”
The priest who was heading to the office desk raised his face.
“Thank you for your concern. It’s okay now. This is a guess, but it seems like it has been devoted to fall down, but if your body is not full of magic, you may feel sick. Is there? “
“You may die if your magical power is completely depleted, but you’ve never heard that your body isn’t full of magical power. Is it a symptom of eating?”
The priest who heard my question puts a pen and turns his eyes lightly to search for memories.
“Is it special for eating?”
“There is a possibility. It’s not well-studied because it eats just because it’s discovered, it’s just a little, and if you have a lot of magic it will die soon, so you have that much magic. I never want to be alive, but I want to see it once. ”
The eyes of the priest staring at me look like a mad scientist who discovered a perfect research subject, and something with a steep spine runs. I immediately changed my mind as I wanted to escape from the curiosity of the chief priest.
“I have other questions. Is there any ritual that only the blue priest is called to the nobility town? I want to ask if special tailoring is necessary …”
“There are religious events throughout the year, but there aren’t many apprentices that you will be apprenticing. You don’t need special clothes, but it’s better to have a blue ceremonial garment …” Speaking of which, what about the blue garments? ”
Only after being pointed out by the priest, I remembered that I was not wearing a blue garment yet.
“Because it was said that it was dangerous to wear it outside the temple, I intended to wear it after arriving at the temple”
“What is danger?”
“You seem to be kidnapped as if you were an aristocratic child. Excuse me for a moment.”
I put my hand into the bag that Lutz had put under his feet, and unwrapped the cloth and took out the blue garment and obi.
“Mine? What …”
“I wear a blue garment”
I wear a blue garment as usual, taking care not to hang a spider on the garment. As soon as I put my face, I met my franc who had been whispering. The raised hand has lost its place, and Fran is in trouble.
“What did you do, Franc?”
“… help me change my clothes”
“Oh … could you take a belt?”
In this case, it is better not to say that you can do it alone. I somehow start the side-serving job. When I raised my arms and got the band tightened, I saw the head of the priest holding the head.
“Mine, change clothes in your room. Don’t do it.”
Unexpectedly, a story about my room came out. Can I borrow a changing room or a storeroom because I change clothes every day?
“… Can I have my room?”
“No, it was a disappointment. The opinion was given that it was better to give you a room in the nobility area, and the temple head allowed me to go. I can’t. “
Only the priest knows that a priest who seems to give me an opinion that is convenient for me to attend. Apparently, the priest seemed to break the bones without me.
“That priest, is there a room outside the noble area?”
It seems that it was an unexpected word for the chief. I narrowed my eyes and broke my eyes as if I couldn’t understand. I hurriedly add explanation to the priest who became skeptical.
“As you know, even if you give a blue garment, I’m not a nobleman, so I don’t think I want a room in the noble area. It would be enough if there was a place where you could respond, such as Lutz and Benno, where you could respond when there was a visitor. Can you rent a place like a storeroom? “
“Are you going to invite guests to the storeroom? Excuse me too!”
The head of the priest shouted openly. It is certainly rude to visitors, but the current situation is not so different.
“That’s a word, I don’t even have a storehouse right now. Even if you come to pick me up, you are waiting in front of the gate? It’s rude to wait for the customer in front of the gate. Is n’t it? ”
“That’s what the visitor to the blue priest is …. Let’s notify the gatekeeper to at least guide you to the waiting room.”
According to the chief minister who held the temple, visitors to the commoners who don’t know the reason for the visit and the blue priests and shrine maidens seem to be treated differently. In the chief priest, I found that I was classified as an apprentice of blue priests, not just the poor.
“… How about the head room of the orphanage as the room of the priest, Mine?” It is far from the noble area, but it is a place where the blue maiden spent, so it may not look good for the guests I don’t think so. “
The priests who were in the room seemed upset for a moment in Arnaud’s words. The chief priest said after thinking for a while with a difficult face.
“Let’s give Mine an orphanage director’s office. After that, change clothes and respond to visitors. When you have finished your work here, let Fran guide you.”
“I’m very sorry to ask you, but can I get it first? Lutz-san talks to Franc about my physical condition today, so I need a place where I can talk.”
I thought it was just right, but the priest shook his head.
“The director’s office has been tightened for a long time, so it isn’t cared for right away. You’ll work here, so you can talk here. Franc, use the table there
“I’m sorry”
Franc and Lutz move to the table shown by the priest. As I was watching it, I saw a gil that was moving with me, but was still on hand.
“Principal, if you haven’t done it, can you get it first? Because I’ll have Gill clean it during my morning work”
“Huh? I?”
Gill suddenly shakes his job and points at himself, looking around.
The priests around me saw Gil and I alternately. “Is it left to work?” “I heard I was put in the reflection room without cleaning the prayer room.” Gill’s reputation for his work attitude is heard in a small voice.
“… Oh? Ca n’t I clean the gil?”
“I can do that!”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to how much Gil can do. Good luck”
When I encouraged, a gray priest apprentice who was entrusted with the key by the priest headed with Gill. The head of the priest narrowed his eyes a little while looking at the closed door.
“Mine, was it okay to leave it to him?”
“If you don’t give a job, you can’t give a legitimate evaluation”
Later, when the apprentice boy returned with the key, Lutz talked with Franc about physical condition management, and I was starting to help with the paperwork.
The book I was deposited by the priest for today’s work was a book. “I’m good at merchants,” he said. It’s good at calculation alone, but it’s a problem even if you think you can keep all your books. In particular, the temple is where my common sense does not work at all.
“The calculation is the same, but the temple seems to be different in various places. What is this item of God’s will? It seems to be the most in spending”
Other expenditure items include God’s charity in addition to offerings to God, flowers to God, water to God. It’s scary to keep such a book with items that have no meaning about God.
In response to my question, the priest stared at me with no expression and then asked me a part of the book.
“… I want you to calculate here for the moment”
“I’m smart …. Lutz, can you lend me a slate? I forgot to bring it.”
“Nh? Ah, hey”
Lutz took a slab after fishing in the cage.
Borrowing a stone board in Lutz’s apprentice set, I will calculate the indicated part by writing. The chief priest peeked into it rarely, but since I wasn’t asked anything, I ignored it and continued to work.
“… It’s fast”
“Is that so?”
Since I was doing calculations at the gate, I’m just used to it. If you just calculate, you miss the calculator.
During the calculation, the four bells indicating the lunch rang.
“Today is here”
At the same time as the priest’s words, the gray priest in the room started to move away.
“Mine, this is the key to the director’s office. Leave it with Franc so you don’t lose it. Then this is the donation you brought.”
The donation handed to the chief is 1 large silver coin and 6 small silver coins. It was strange to receive the donation I gave myself, but I was told to save it because it was divided into all blue priests.
“If you have a room, it’s just fine. Bring it with you.”
On the shelf indicated by the line of sight is a gift brought by Benno. It seems that I was left as it was because I fell down. A fine cloth and a cloth wrapped in bundles of plant paper and a basket with Linshan are left.
Lutz and Franc got their luggage and I headed to the orphanage’s director’s office with only the room key. On the way, Franc explained me about the director’s office.
“The third-floor building on both sides of that prayer room is an orphanage. It is divided into a boys ‘and girls’ building across the prayer room, and there is a director’s room given by Mine. Is the Men’s Building “
“Eh? Was it a blue maiden who used the director’s room before? Why is the director’s room in the men’s building?”
franc laughed at me after wondering my question as if it was in trouble.
“Mine doesn’t have to know in detail”
“… Is that so”
Although I’m worried about being hidden, I don’t seem to tell you from Franc’s stubborn attitude with the mouth as a single letter.
“There was an orphanage right from the gate. It’s good for Mine because you can change clothes as soon as you get in.”
“That’s right”
“Mine, the entrance to the director’s office is on the other side of the door, walking straight from the aristocratic area. The entrance is divided so that orphans do not enter by mistake. Please do not make a mistake ”
I gently held my chest to the words of Fran.
Arnaud spoke about the existence of the director’s office, the priest who was reluctant to give the room gave permission, it was in the men’s building and the orphanage was separated from the entrance But there must be a reasonably well-founded property.
“This is Mine.”
Maybe because Gill is cleaning. The entrance is a little open. As Franc opened the door, Gil was waiting in front of him.
“How are you?”
When the door is opened, it looks like a small hall that also serves as a waiting room. About half of them were perfectly cleaned and the other half was still in the future.
“This area is very beautiful”
When I stepped inside and tried to open the door on the right, Gill stopped saying “There hasn’t been cleaned yet.”
When I looked around the first floor and tried to go to the door on the left, I was stopped. There are no other doors on the first floor.
“Gill, where did he clean up?”
“You’re in your room! I think we’re going to postpone our room!”
The half of the hall with the passage from the entrance to the stairs and the second floor were the parts that were cleaned satisfactorily.
Apparently, Gill seems to have cleaned up the place where I am the Lord. There may be unexpectedly cute places. When I saw the shining stairs, I made a small laugh.
The place up the stairs was a noble room. Apparently large and some furniture remains in place. In the center there are four round tables and chairs with lavish decorations for reception, a closet, shelves and a sculpted wooden box on the wall, and a large bed at the end of the room.
The arrangement of furniture that is not much different from the room of the priest’s room and the number of elaborate and luxuriously crafted furniture show that the former Lord was certainly a noble daughter.
“Did this furniture not be used by others? It looks a lot good,”
“Because the previous owner is the owner”
“Owner … No, no, I don’t listen. I’ll be happy to use it.”
Refusing to replace furniture by yourself is not wasted. It would be better not to include extra information.
Suppose that Benno puts a gift from Benno on a cleanly cleaned shelf, and puts blue clothes and beautiful clothes on the closet.
“Thank you Gil. It’s very beautiful.”
“Wow! Ah? Ah. It’s natural because I cleaned it.”
Gill’s face was terribly shy even though he was very nervous. Although she is looking a little bit, she has a smile as if she was complimented for the first time. It seems that the eyes that are looking at here with a glimmer are saying “more give up”.
I knew at a glance that I was praised and not used to it. It may be attached to me by harassment, so it may be that I have been praised by a problem child but I have never been praised.
When you do a good thing, giving up a lot is the basic principle.
“Gill, I’ll give you more, squat down”
“Eh? Is this it?”
Gil puts one knee and hits the spot. Reaching for Gill’s thin blonde who came below her line of sight, thinking that she was growing up in a position where she could instantly get ready to state the words of prayer and vows.
Gill chases my hand with his eyes with a suspicious face that he does not know what to do.
“Good, good child, good child. Good job.”
Talking about my head was rubbing that I would n’t treat me as a kid, but I was going to give up my face. became.
Immediately after Gill faced down, when I pulled my hand unintentionally, I heard a small whisper of “more praise”.
“It’s very beautiful. Gill worked hard alone.”
Gill’s ears that are left gently boiled are bright red. I was driven by the urge to look into my face, but don’t look! It seems to be yelled at me so I can endure it.
I remembered that what I had to give to Gill was appreciation and compliments before the food and shelter guaranteed at the orphanage.
