Chapter 107
A board is required to make a picture book with woodcut. I decided to report to Benno and order 10 plates for the prints.
“Good morning, Benno-san”
“What are you going to do this time?”
When I went to the meeting, I was seen as if I was looking at something extremely stinky. However, as I am burning in the making of books, I raise my hands without hesitation.
“Yes! I will make a picture book with prints”
“Hanger?”
“Yes, you can make a bump when you carve wood. So if you apply ink on top and hold it down from the top of the paper, the ink sticks only to the protruding part, and you can print pictures and letters on the paper.” I can do it. “
Quickly take out the stone board, draw a cross-sectional view of the tree in a bump, draw an ink line from above, and draw a paper line from above. Benno, who was holding a stone board, broke his eyebrows.
“… I knew what I wanted to say, but the ink is high? How much are you?”
The blood of Benno’s words draws attention.
Although four small silver coins flew in small bottles and the price was cheaper than parchment, the paper is still expensive. I was rushing with just the exhilaration of making books, but considering the cost, I can’t make multiple picture books. It’s Sekiyama to make prints instead of textbooks.
“Did not cost me”
“Amazed! Where are the merchants who don’t even calculate costs?”
“… Mi, apprentice of a shrine maiden”
If you refute a small amount, you can silently pinch your cheeks. There is no control over the girl partner.
“It’s a big deal!”
“Noisy”
Benno thinks that sometimes he can’t be adult. As I finally stroked my cheek, I asked Benno to introduce me to the ink workshop.
“Please introduce the ink workshop to think about the quantity and price for the time being.”
“I understand”
“… In the worst case, you may have to start by making ink. I don’t know if there is an ink suitable for printing …”
It looks like it ’s still a long time to make a book. The feeling of exhilaration goes away with sighs.
“Can you make ink?”
“… I know how to make it with paper. I couldn’t arrange the materials before, but it seems that the materials are going to be arranged by myself and the number of human resources is increasing … It takes trial and error in terms of what will actually happen, but well, if you take the time, I think it will be somehow. “
“Wow …”
Upon leaving the store, Marc was called and received reports that Lutz had an orphanage carta board.
Sign for receipt and head to the temple with a board. Deliver it to Vilma for a picture. I want to be healed by a smile like that saint on the way to the request.
When I arrived at the temple, Gill was waiting at the gate instead of Fran. Since the recent gil goes to the main workshop, it is rare to see it here.
When I found my figure, Gill relaxed her expression.
“Good morning, Maine”
“Good morning, Gil. It’s been a while since I met you. I wonder what happened?”
“… it’s in the future. Delia was waiting for Mine with a great face”
Listening to my words while giving up my shoulders, I felt that all the movements around me stopped.
“Fran is holding it now, but it doesn’t feel strange when it explodes. Complains like Nyoki Nyoki”
“… what happened?”
“Newly served side … is Rosina? That’s a little,”
Huh, sighed like Gill, who was unusually tired.
What happened to Delia and Rosina while I was in the forest yesterday? When you add new pets, do you think that old children are concerned? Is it also a territory fight?
Since I have never kept a pet, I have only the knowledge I read in a book, but I arrived in my room while moving my foot while remembering the correct way to deal with it.
Gil opens the door and puts me in as usual. There was an elegant festival sound in the room.
…… Both are more cat-like than dogs. For example, Delia is a tortoiseshell cat that changes mood and attitude, and Rosina feels like a maine coon with a high-ranking but gentle character.
Mum, I go up the stairs, thinking about going off the side street. Even after entering the room, there was no sign of Delia coming down, and there was no ugly atmosphere, so I was completely out of sight.
Delia suddenly explodes anger at the same time as she goes upstairs and meets her eyes.
“Moooooooo!”
“Hy !?”
“What is Rosina!”
I met up with an oversized “mo-!” And made me black and white without knowing, “What is Delia?”. If you look around the room, Rosina is sitting in a chair and playing a feshpeel, regardless of Delia’s “mo-!”.
“… Good morning, Delia. I’m sorry. I don’t know at all?”
“Rosina does not work at all!”
Delia gets angry again, pointing at Rosina with her left hand. I turned my eyes to Rosina, but Rosina’s eyes still turned to Feshpeel.
“Good morning, Rosina”
“… Good morning, Maine. The weather is nice and refreshing today.”
Talking to her, Rosina finally stopped and looked at me. I realize that they are angry with each other in an attitude that says that Delia is not in sight.
“Rosina, Deria seems angry, but what does it mean not to work?”
“Well, people don’t listen to it because they don’t work. I’m practicing Feshpeel”
Rosina said, while tilting her head with a gentle action, Delia told her to bite out while taking out the blue garment.
“Why don’t you do anything other than play the instrument!”
“Side service. Isn’t it natural?”
“Wow! Mine, Rosina is all this and I can’t talk at all! What Fran does not hear! Please do something!”
Deria prepares my outfit with a little more violent action than usual.
“Mine-sama, if you don’t understand the work of a shrine maiden like this, it won’t be a story. Now we’ll run out of time. Let’s practice Feshpil.”
Rosina prepared my festival and smiled gracefully with an unfamiliar face such as Delia’s anger.
“Wow! It’s not when you’re practicing a musical instrument!”
“Delia, the priest has decided that it’s time to practice until the third bell rings. It’s Rosina’s job to teach me Feshpil. I will talk about the rest of the work later. By that time, think carefully about what Delia wants to say. ”
“… I’m smart”
Delia goes to her job with a stubborn expression. Looking back just before going down the stairs, I was reminded, “I will talk to you later!”
“Mine, you do n’t have to listen to such a slogan?”
“No, when you disagree, you have to listen to everybody’s details exactly. I was taught by the priest.”
“… Did you say goodbye”
[Rosina was a little dissatisfied with a frustrated face, but when she started practicing Feshpeel, her smile returned. Until the bell of the third ring, I practiced Feshpeel as taught by Rosina.
When the bell of bell 3 rings, the practice of the festival is over. I have to return the Feshpeel to the original place and I must go to help the Priest’s office. When I ringed the bell on the table and called Fran, I got up to the second floor with all the tools I needed to help me.
“So, I will go to help the priest, so Rosina should carry water with Delia”
“Well, what are you talking about? Is that a gray priest’s job?”
[Rosina opened my eyes to my words that I couldn’t believe it, but I was also surprised.
Our gray priests are Fran and Gill. Franc is in charge of all the work, and Gil is responsible for the workshop. I’m busy working outside.
Now, there is only Delia to arrange the room, so Rosina was supposed to work with Delia.
Since adults are close, I’m planning to take over Franc’s work little by little while watching the situation, but I still don’t know what work Rosina will be entrusted to, and any gray lady can work without problems.
“The Gray Priest has a Gray Priest’s job. Rosina will work with Delia for a while. I suppose Franc and Delia had told me that.” [19459002 ]
In my words, Delia pays her hands with red hair and smiles as if she has won.
“So you’re saying that it’s our job to carry water for use on the second floor”
“Is such a hard work a job for you?”
Rosina leans her head on her cheek with a sharp glance.
Delia should have told me that while he was serving, he was working in the room while working as an apprentice and learning work. I should have assigned a job based on these words, but when I look at Rosina’s situation, I feel uneasy.
“Isn’t it hard work or chores to be the work of a lady, and the work of a woman is to do the best of performing arts? I don’t know why I have to do it, would it hurt my finger if I was working down? “
“I hurt my finger, I’m a blue priest, what are you talking about!”
I understand that Rosina really thinks so, but the idea is not appropriate for my side.
“You have to be a priest there, such as a subordinate, and there are some who do not understand art, even though they are apprentice ladies.”
laughing with a voice like a bell and a bell, but what I was saying was not very laughable. It is also acceptable that Delia erupts.
“Mine, let’s continue the story after lunch. The priest waits.”
I thought I should do something as soon as possible, but I was surprised by the words of Fran. This is a type of problem that must not be dealt with immediately.
“Rosina, it’s music time until the third bell, but after that you should have you work like any other side service. Please work with Delia.
“Mine, what are you saying?”
¡I reluctantly dismiss Rosina’s opinions that open her eyes to incredibility.
“After lunch, we ask everyone for their opinions. I’m not yet familiar with the temple. I’ll make a decision based on the opinions of everyone on the side.”
If I say my personal opinion, “Previous, now, now”, I don’t know if Rosina’s opinion is correct, Delia’s opinion is correct, or if there are other opinions. You can’t say anything without listening to the opinions of Fran and the chief priest. For the time being, it was temporarily withdrawn to hear the opinion of the priest.
“Are you sure you want to hear what Franca thinks of Rosina?”
When I left the room and headed to the Priest’s room, I asked Fran. Only Delia had erupted in the room, and no other opinions were heard. Somehow, even in the afternoon discussions, I feel like I ’m going to be the exclusive place for Delia.
…… Dillia’s complaint was Nyoki Nyoki.
“It seems that the influence of the former Lord is great. The former Lord of Vilma and Rosina, Christine-sama is one of the few blue priests who has changed a bit, and art is considered to be the best. I have heard that it was every day that I loved poetry, loved paintings and sang music, and the side-served gray shrine maiden, including apprentices, all gained the elegance of an aristocratic daughter.
…… What is every day in poetry, painting and music?
“As Rosina says, Christine-sama’s room was favored by those who excel in performing arts, so Rosina who was a good fespeel was living like a blue priestess. Is n’t it? ”
“… It’s reasonable and you’re a young lady”
Delia and Gil previously said that it was common sense that all gray priests wanted to be mistresses, so I thought that gray priestess was like that. However, Rosina seemed to be an apprentice of a gray shrine maiden who was favored by the blue shrine maiden as an art mate and worked hard for the art but not working. I was honestly surprised that there was such a presence.
“What’s your main? Slow?”
When I entered the room of the chief, the chief saw me.
“… I am aware of the inconvenience, but the chief priest. What is the side-serving job?”
“Fran”
The priest asks Fran for explanation before answering my questions. Franc concisely arranged Rosina’s claims and Delia’s claims.
As expected, the chief priest was at a loss for what he claimed to do no work other than the performing arts.
“… I see. I was impressed by the side-served gray shrine maiden and apprentices who had a lot of goods and well-educated, but did they live a more graceful life than a young noble daughter?”
“What kind of person is Christine-sama?”
The priest stood up while holding down the temple and took out a book from a bookcase with a door. Apparently it looks like a file for writing documents, written about the blue priest. A long finger is swaying the document looking for the relevant part.
“That’s it. Christine is a daughter of Atago, but she seems to have a magical power and her father wanted to take it off. Educate while defending herself because her wife was firmly opposed. It seems to have been sent to the temple for the sake of it. “
“Education?”
¡Closed the file containing the documents and handed the priest to Arnaud and looked at me.
“Oh, it seems that he was always thinking that his father would be able to pick it up, and tutors and geisha teachers often went in and out. I remember that the circumstances and living environment were quite different from the priests. ”
It seems that a special gray maiden grew up under a special blue priestess. Rosina’s opinion seems to be considered uncommon as a gray priest apprentice.
“That’s the priest, I can’t afford to have a side service that I can’t do other than the performing arts, but I don’t care if I tell Rosina to do the same job as Delia.”
Honestly, I don’t need a side service to live a more graceful life than I am, as if I’m playing just a day without a job. I endure that I want to go to the library all day.
“It is natural that what the Lord seeks for the side service is different. Should I tell Rosina? Did Franct say nothing?”
franc shook his head slowly with a bitter face to the priest’s question.
“I couldn’t hear it. Rosina couldn’t speak of apprenticeship and I was in command. It seems that the gray priest seems to be seen under her.”
“… Oh, that’s not good”
My room is all around with francs. The side serving that cannot follow the order of Fran is not usable at all. It is not necessary at the level you want to return to the orphanage immediately.
“The most troublesome thing is to play the instrument until late at night. If it’s only the first day, you can put up with it, but if you continue on the next day, you’re sure … That ’s what I think on the first floor, so the next room, Delia, ca n’t stand it anymore. ”
It seems that he was a noise girl in addition to not working.
“If you think it’s impossible, you can return to the orphanage? If you don’t like it, please pick up Rosina. Pay the tuition fee. Therefore, it is fine if you leave it here only during the practice time of the festival. “
“… I don’t need a side service where I can’t hear the word of the Lord. I don’t intend to take it here”
Me and Fran glanced at the words of the chief and looked lightly.
“After lunch, we will gather all the side servings and talk to them. By then, we would like to hear from another side serving Vilma in the orphanage. Are you sure you want to do it? ”
“Yes, it’s important to hear everyone’s opinions. Go”
With the whisper of the chief priest, “Did you grow up a little? No, I need to watch,” I got permission to leave and headed to the orphanage.
Vilma may also hear opinions and circumstances on Rosina’s side because he served the same Lord.
I decided to call Virma to the cafeteria and talk. In the meantime, he asks Franc to go to the room to get a carta board. Vilma is easier to talk than Franc, an adult male.
“… That’s why I want to hear the opinions of all the side service from the afternoon, but can’t Wilma come to the room?” Like Virma who served Christine … I wonder if I don’t want to work down because my hands are rough? “
It was Vilma that rushed to wash the dirty children. I don’t think that Virma is avoiding subordinate work, but I want to see how Christine-sama’s side service thinks.
“Mine-sama, my job is to take care of the children. If you say you don’t want to work, you can’t do it.”
Quietly, Vilma stared at me. I hear about Rosina as she breathes a relief in her calm but strong eyes.
“I really don’t want Virma to be a person who abandons work. But is Rosina alone the only person who doesn’t want to work?”
“… That’s right. Rosina seems to have a stronger feeling than other gray ladies”
Vilma said, thinking a little bit.
“When I was 10 years old, I was a side-serving apprentice, but Rosina was pulled out immediately after leaving the orphanage, so I had hardly worked down until I returned to the orphanage. When he was in Christine’s room, all the chores and hard work was done by the gray priests, as Rosina said. “
Rosina’s childhood was when there was a gray priest taking care of the children before baptism. Then Rosina must have grown up without working as a subordinate. It can be said that she was raised more than me.
“… Christine-san, who has been a long-time performer, gave preferential treatment to the ranks of side-serving that would normally be seniority in order of excellence. For us at that time That was natural. ”
That’s why Vilma said he was always working hard to do the art to buy the Lord’s delight.
“After Christine returned to the aristocracy, Rosina was stunned by the life of the orphanage. I also went back to the orphanage and listened to the stories of other people, I knew that the circumstances of the people were special. “
Still, Vilma, who had been working down to the age of 10, accepted the reality that it was special until now, but Rosina seems to have looked away from the harsh reality.
“Rosina seemed unavoidable because she wanted to return to a life with music. If she was called by a blue priest as a flower priestess, she would have prepared a completely different life. It was called by Mine, an apprentice of the same blue priestess as Christine, so why did Rosina think that the same life as before would return? “
“Thank you for your precious opinion, Vilma”
When I noticed that Franc was back and I stood up, Vilma crossed her hands in front of her chest and bent down lightly.
“Mine, if possible, give Rosina the time to rethink yourself.”
“… A request from Vilma, nothing else. We will consider it as much as possible”
¡I will consider, but I do not intend to change the basic stance that children who do not work are not necessary. As Gill and the children of the orphanage have said, it is “the one who does not work, can’t eat”.
