Chapter 105

“Mine, the side service is to move into the Lord’s room. You can’t stay in the orphanage. How are you going to persuade the priest?”

 

As soon as I left the orphanage, I heard a harsh voice from Franc.

 

“I don’t have a gray shrine maiden who looks at the children right now, so I just have the side of the orphanage to see the state of the orphanage. Some children suddenly get feverish at night. Masuda

 

“… I wasn’t thinking of anything at all. I was a little relieved.”

 

Surprisingly rude saying, when I inflated my cheeks, I added words as if Fran was in a hurry.

 

“Mine-sama often starts moving as soon as he comes to mind, so I’m worried about how I should explain to the priest …”

 

“… Fran agrees to leave Vilma at the orphanage and serve on the side? Is it the opposite?”

 

“I would break the convention, but I think it would be good to be able to do it, considering the status of orphans or the situation in Vilma”

 

With the approval of Franc, I sent a letter to the priest to request a visit. As I wanted to hear Fran’s opinion on the treatment of Vilma, I received a reply saying that it would be better to talk in your room than in a hidden room.

 

I worked hard until the meeting.

 

Depends on Gil, asks Gil to make a thick paper to make a picture book, and promises to buy it through Lutz.

 

At the same time, I read my mother’s sleeping story at an orphanage and looked at the reaction to see which is easier to use as a picture book and the children are better. However, the children who heard the sleeping tales continued to question “What is it?” For the words that came out, and did not enjoy the story, and Vilma did not understand the city life. I was told I couldn’t. The difference between common sense and life seems to be bigger than I expected.

 

Furthermore, it seems that there is no concept of animal anthropomorphism in the temple, and even when talking about the seven goats and Momotaro, “How do you talk to animals?” When asked, it is difficult to have a storybook that I know as a picture book.

 

It seems best to have Vilma draw a scripture-related picture.

 

…… After all, this is the first picture book to give to my first brother and sister, and can I draw a picture?

 

Then Fugo and Ella learned most of the recipes, so a new chef came in. A man of the same age as Fugo is struggling with an unintelligible voice such as “Eh?” Or “Cho !?”.

 

Assisting Ella says, “It ’s okay. I ’ll get used to it”, with a look that reminds me of the way I came.

 

And on the day of the meeting. In the afternoon, I had a promise, so I couldn’t go to the library, and I spent a refreshing review of how to meet the priest with Fran and my favorite tea.

 

Then, a bell rang outside the door at a much earlier time than promised. It is a bell that the side service has, and informs those who are in the room of the visit.

 

“It ’s the priest ’s messenger”

 

“How do you know?”

 

“There are differences in the way sounds and sounds are played”

 

Franc says that and goes down to the first floor. Since he seems busy, it may be a change in the meeting time.

 

When I looked down as I leaned over from above, I saw Delia coming out of the kitchen quickly walking toward the door. The intermediary of visitors is an apprenticeship job.

 

DELIA opens something after he communicates with the door. Gray priests with large boxes entered one after another.

 

“It is a gift from the chief priest. Where should I carry it?”

 

“To the second floor. Please come to the Lord’s room.”

 

¡Fran leads with Delia ’s voice and loads are brought in. I hurriedly returned to the office desk and stuck her smile on her face.

 

“Excuse me, Maine”

 

Arnaud comes to the greeting, and the gray priests leave their luggage under the direction of Delia and Franc. Arnaud looked nostalgic and looked around the room.

 

“… Mine is using it as it is”

 

“Huh?”

 

“No, don’t worry …. 3 big boxes and 2 small boxes. I’m sure it was carried. Then I’m sorry.”

 

“Thank you, please tell the priest,”

 

I answered Arnaud with a smile. Arnaud leads the priesthood ambassadors and returns.

 

The franc that had been sent off came up to the second floor as soon as he closed the door.

 

“Let’s open it right away. It will be the time for the priest to come. Delia, go to the workshop and call Gill.”

 

“It’s clever. Moh! If it’s a gift, it doesn’t have to be just before the visit”

 

As Delia rushes out, Franc begins to open like a panic. Soon Delia and Gill came back, helped Franc, and opened the box.

 

The wooden box was further wrapped in cloth with two sets of bedding and two musical instruments for adults and children. And a lot of tools for caring for the instrument. The priest seems to want me to be educated no matter what.

 

… Wow. If you refuse that you don’t have a musical instrument, you’ve got a musical instrument.

 

“Hey, Fran. Have you heard anything from the chief?”

 

As expected, if there are so many gifts, the confusion will come before thankfulness. In particular, the bedding is more confusing because the bedding has never been presented to others. For Francs, he was confused by his eyebrows.

 

“It was deceived when the priest fell down in the reflection room, saying that although he didn’t live here, he was weak and fell well, but he wasn’t even prepared for the bed. No way bedding will be given … ”

 

I also thought that a futon would be necessary if the temple had fallen down, but it was unexpected that it would be given to the priest.

 

“But it’s a very good futon, isn’t it?”

 

I approached the bedding that Gil and Delia put in the bed and arranged them, and I touched it with my hand.

 

The bedding chosen by the priest was not a futon packed in a bag like the one used in my house, but a fine futon prepared in the room of Frida’s house. On the light and comfortable sheets, the top is a fine one with a lot of embroidery.

 

Cloth and embroidery alone will lead to ridiculous amounts. Considering the amount of money spent on bedding, the brain miso is likely to refuse.

 

I don’t know if it’s natural for a nobleman to give such a thing, or maybe it will be charged later just by changing to a priest.

 

“… Fran, is it better to pay the fee that was charged later?”

 

“No, it’s probably an apology for putting Mine in the reflection room and letting it fall down, so it’s best to keep it in appreciation.”

 

“Thank you … Which God should I thank for this time?”

 

In a thankful greeting and asking if I had to remember the name of the new god, I was so tired and depressed that I kept my mouth with a face that Fran could endure laughing.

 

“Please thank the priest, not the god this time”

 

“Oh, that’s right. God doesn’t matter”

 

By the time the five bells ringed, I put my bedding on the bed and decided where to place the instruments and tools. After somehow cleaning up the baggage, the wooden box or cloth is chopped up and given to the side.

 

As soon as the bell of 5 rings, the priest who followed Arnaud came. We greet and greet the priest as taught by Franc. From the chief priest, he said, “I feel like I haven’t found it yet, but I just remembered it.”

 

“Thank you, Priest, thank you for the comforter”

 

“You are …”

 

Going up to the second floor, the bed came into my eyes.

 

“What happened? You just said thank you?”

 

“… Yes, you just thanked me, but I didn’t have to say what the gift was. Afterwards, when I thank you, I’d like to give you a wonderful gift or my wish. Please make me ambiguous. “

 

“I’m smart”

 

If you repeat in your mind that you don’t bother with the contents of the gift, the head of the priest becomes a face that bites the bitter worm, and adds a voice.

 

“And then it’s useless to give me bedding”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Bedding is essentially a family or fiancé … prepared for mistresses. It leads to terrible misunderstandings around.”

 

“Wow! Why did you do something that seemed to be misunderstood !?”

 

I don’t think I’m going to be inadvertently a person like the priest. I know it’s misleading and I don’t know why I’d dare to give bedding.

 

The priest answered my question with a sharp gaze.

 

“You are bad this time”

 

“Yes?”

 

“What does it mean that the bed is left uncovered despite the fact that the body is weak and the temple has already fallen several times?” Carrying and accompanying, I doubted my eyes. “

 

When I left it, I was told that I wouldn’t have any bedding indefinitely, so I completely forgot after passing my throat and even ordered a futon. .

 

“… Oh, I’m sorry”

 

The chief secretly coughing off with Chong glances toward the table. Recalling that I hadn’t recommended a seat yet, I took the chief to the seat.

 

“I heard that the lieutenant’s preference is Diampula, but are you sure you want to have tea today?”

 

“Ah, Fran’s tea hasn’t been around for a long time”

 

Since the priest is the opponent today, Francis will make tea instead of Delia. Delia was looking at a beautiful, fluid work that wasn’t wasted. Even though the same water and the same leaves are used, the taste of tea feels completely different when francs are added.

 

“Hum, as good as it is”

 

squinting satisfactorily, Fran slightly shatters the face of the chief of drinking tea.

 

Delia received the dish that Gil brought and placed it on the table.

 

“Take a cup of tea. It’s a cookie. Sweetness is understated for gentlemen who are not good at sweet.”

 

The chief priest who put it in his mouth was lightly eye-catching. The chief priest who ate the first one immediately put his hand on the next cookie, so I think the response is not so bad.

 

“… Mine, where is this?”

 

“For now, I’m just making it in my kitchen, but if you like it, please let me know. I’m planning to sell it.”

 

Supplied with Italian restaurant after-meal tea or sold in small wraps for souvenirs.

 

“… Did you put your hands on cooking, not just paper and rinshan?”

 

“Yes. There is a plan to have a tasting party before the store opens, so if you prefer, please visit the priest. I’m going to give Francs a guarantee of taste, but I’d love to experience real aristocratic meals. “

 

Inviting, inviting, and appealing with his eyes, he turned his eyes down as if a priest who was good at reading the air lost.

 

“… I understand. I’ll invite you to lunch soon”

 

“Well, I’m honored”

 

Now, you have cleared one issue from Benno. I would like to check the meal contents, taste, and serving service at the priest’s lunch.

 

After tasting a cup of tea and cookies, the chief priest started talking.

 

“So, did you mean there was a consultation about Vilma?”

 

“I would like Vilma to live in an orphanage even after serving, can you give me permission?”

 

“Why is that?”

 

The chief priest put his eyebrows in a mysterious way. The side service, as the name suggests, serves on the Lord’s side, and there is no one who wants to leave the orphanage but wants to stay.

 

“I thought that Vilma himself wanted it, but I felt that I needed someone who could see the orphanage. Originally, young children before baptism gave birth to children. I heard that the gray maiden was taking care of her, but wouldn’t it be right now? I would like Virma to take care of the children at the orphanage with my authority as an orphanage director. “

 

“Principal, I ask, no one takes care of the children now. The children are easy to get sick and sometimes heat up in the middle of the night. I am worried. “

 

The priest chief strokes his chin while saying, “Fum.”

 

“That’s a plausible reason … if Wilma stays at the orphanage, let’s keep Rosina on the side. I’ve prepared the instrument. This should be no problem.”

 

Jiri and the priest look at me.

 

“Why do you want me to master the educator? As I said before, do you play in temple rituals?”

 

“It’s not necessary at all in the temple. Some blue priests will have no taste”

 

“Why then?”

 

Kotung and the priest took out a small magic tool. It is a magic tool to prevent eavesdropping. I and the chief prisoner hold it in my hand.

 

“You will definitely get involved with the nobility in the future”

 

“… I’m not going to leave my family?”

 

For that reason, even after entering the temple, I have been visiting. The priesthood chief who should have grasped the relationship with the family to some extent from the magical power that caused the temple head to run away, said, “I’m sure”, and my anxiety began to creep.

 

“You may not know, but if you can’t balance it magically, you can’t hope for a child. In other words, you can’t have children other than aristocrats, you can’t get married in the city below. “

 

Speaking of which, Delia was talking about magical balance. I was angry about the outrage of the blue priest, so I wasn’t conscious at all, but the law naturally applies to me.

 

However, I feel like “So what?”

 

“… Well, I don’t think I can get married, so it’s okay if I can’t get married?”

 

“Wait. Why is that?”

 

Surprisingly, the priest was astonishing, but I am giving up that I can’t get married or give birth.

 

The life of Reino was far from that, so I’m not pessimistic. If you are devoted to making books, your life will end in no time.

 

“As you know, I’m frail. No one wants to scold a woman who can’t work satisfactorily because of the fever. Isn’t it just a clenched foot?”

 

A good bride in a slum is the first condition of being healthy and strong. And it continues to be smart and hardworking. Sewing arms and skillful skills are added to the beauty condition, but I am excluded from the bride candidate at the time of the first condition.

 

“… Is this the case in the town below? Nobility is different”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Children’s magical power is strongly influenced by mothers. Your magical power is so large that you can’t think of it as a sudden eater in the commoner. If you want to take it up and bring it up, it will cost you money, and in your case it’s frail and you don’t know when to die, so you are left alone while you are in the temple. There is no way to escape from the priest ’s parents’ house. ”

 

In other words, now I seem to be like a domestic animal that is waiting for fertility. I don’t think I’m seeing it with such eyes where I don’t know at all. If there are more than a dozen blue priests and their parents’ homes, how many aristocrats will come out?

 

“Because the lower class nobility will not be able to balance magically, it will be used as a tool to connect with the higher class nobility. At that time it will be treated like a tool to give birth to children. Your life will change a lot if you have a track record as a blue priest and behave like an aristocrat, and your life will change greatly. Be prepared for self-defense. “

 

My body trembled. I never thought about that.

 

Benno told me that nobles would increase again in about five years, so it would be a payout box, and at that time I thought that I should leave the temple. If I didn’t want to leave my family and there were no aristocrats who could make a contract that would be convenient for me, I was going to run away using Tau’s fruit.

 

No way, I didn’t think it would be targeted by nobility as a convenient mother body.

 

“… I understand. Rosina also learns as much as possible as a side service.”

 

“It’s OK”

 

The priest placed the magic tool on the table with Kotori, so I also placed it on the table and gently returned the magic tool to the priest.

 

“Now, please give me an example.”

 

“Example?”

 

“I would like you to see how much the aristocratic taste is required.”

 

Well, don’t play, when I showed the instrument, the priest recovered the magic tool and put it in my pocket.

 

“Fran, having a feshpeel”

 

“I’m smart”

 

It seems that the large and small musical instruments are called Feshpeel. The larger one is for adults and the smaller one is for children.

 

A musical instrument with a combination of lute and koto. It was shaped like a bandura. The body looks like a half cut from the pear, and the back is slightly curved. The face plate is perforated like a guitar sound hole, but it was very decorative, with a geometric pattern for adults and a hazy plant pattern for children.

 

Just looking at it, there were about 50-60 strings. The pins that wrap the strings are made of ivory-like material and add color to the wooden instruments.

 

The head was engraved with a horse, and I wanted to put a tsukkomi on for a moment.

 

After changing the position of the chair a little, the priest sat on the chair with their feet aligned and placed the fesh peel between the thighs.

 

支 え Play the string with your middle finger while supporting the neck with your left hand. Boron and the air shook and sounded like a guitar. When you nail the strings like playing a lyre or harp with your right hand, you will hear a high-pitched and clear sound that melts into the air.

 

It seems that tuning was already done, and the chief priest with Feshpeel lightly looked down. The right hand plays the main melody, and the left hand gives depth with bass-like bass.

 

…. Good.

 

Long fingers with conspicuous knots moved freely and began playing songs that I had never heard. This is the first musical instrument you will see, and this is the first song you will hear. The bard who roams around the East Gate is incomparable.

 

“Blue high sky …”

 

The priest began to sing along with the song. With lyrics that remind you of the scenes that sparkle the life of summer, the song grows up and appreciates the grace of the sun.

 

…… The voice of the chief is too beautiful.

 

I had always thought that it was a low and well-sounding voice, but when I sang it resonated differently and became a horribly beautiful voice. It’s natural that it’s an unfamiliar song, but it’s easy to get into the ear and listen to it.

 

Polon … and the sigh of excitement in the last note of the last note, the chief priest handed over Feshpil to Fran.

 

“Huh, is this something? How about Mine?”

 

“I thought that if the priest sang a love song, the girl would not be inconvenienced.”

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

I was engulfed by the chief priest and knew that the real intention was spilling. Hurry up and hold the mouth that said extra things, I wrap up the true intentions in oblate.

 

“I was mesmerized by beautiful sounds …. But I think it ’s a bit more difficult.”

 

“Education is not something you can wear right away. You need to practice everyday. Try it a little.”

 

Suddenly, the Priest’s feshpeel practice began. I couldn’t get away from the educated priest, and I received a small Fash peel from Fran.
