Chapter 142
After asking the priest whether it was okay to put a craftsman in the room, he asked Benno to bring him a shoemaker.
“Bless the thaw. May the goddess of spring bring great grace”
So, Benno and two shoemakers came along with the greetings of the spring. I will welcome the craftsman while sitting on the chair in the hall.
“God of water, blessing of Fleuteline and his family”
While the escort Darmuel makes use of resentment, a shoemaker and his assistant of the same age as Benno quickly measure the size of my feet, what kind of design, what shoes to use Or ask.
“That’s right. Shoes that go to the prayer ceremony are the top priority. You need deep leather shoes.”
“If so, let’s be in white shoes”
“No, Delia. The prayer ceremony is going to walk in the countryside. The darker color is preferred.”
Rosina and Delia decide, without needing to answer. While listening to the conversation between the two, Fran tightens his expression. The reason why Fran is here is because I asked for a lookout.
My predictions are correct, that is wonderful, and I want to add this as well. Fran who was watching such two people cut out and throw it away.
“Delia, I don’t need any more decorations. Rosina, Mine, will grow quickly, so you don’t need that many. You can buy them as you grow.” [19459002 ]
Delia has always loved gorgeous items and beautiful and cute items, and if she went shopping, the tension would continue to rise and never stop. If you become a made-to-order, it will surely become a luxurious shoe.
Rosina was Christine’s side serving, so she had a good sense and reputed what she needed, but the required number of standards was a little strange. I will go bankrupt if there is no financial inconvenience and I think it is the same as Christine who has prepared what I want, according to taste and mood.
franc is a side service of a priest who hates waste, so he knows the minimum necessary personality with courtesy. However, since the priest and Fran are both men, their sense of cute and beautiful things is inferior to Rosina.
My job is to get the final order by incorporating the opinions of Rosina and Delia while grasping the line that Franc holds.
“Mine, do you want this?”
“Yes, I’ll ask you with this tripod.”
After all, to go to the rural area, long boots with horse skin and soft boots with soft pork skin to the knees. Then I decided to order a pair of luxurious cloth shoes to wear in the temple and in the aristocracy.
After finishing the order and the shoemaker returning home, Benno glances at me.
“I’m sorry, I have an important story with Mine. Fran, can I take them to the gate?”
“Now, Delia. Send your shoemakers to the gate. Rosina asks you to prepare tea.”
franc, who spoke to Benno, tells Delia to send a shoemaker to the gate. Delia, who was getting nervous from shopping, went out of the room with a craftsman.
“So what is the story?”
“Mine, Johan came to the store the other day. It seems that the product in question was completed”
I’m blinking my eyes when it comes to the product of the issue. At the end of autumn, I became the blacksmith Johann patron. He asked for the important issue of whether Johan was recognized as a full-fledged Dapura, or to create metal type.
“Eh … that Benno-sama, the product of the subject … is it a metal type? Isn’t it very fast?”
The 35 basic characters have the same sound and two types of characters. In both of them, it was a challenge for Johan to prepare the type with 50 vowels and 20 consonants, but I didn’t expect it to end in winter.
“That’s right, I would like to see Mine-sama, who is a patron,”
The issue is an order from the customer. First of all, it must be shown to the customer who ordered and get the evaluation.
“If possible, I think it’s better to come to the store, but if you can’t get Mine-sama, would you please bring Johann and the blacksmith’s master here?” [19459002 ]
“… I will consult with the priest” “
“I’m smart”
For those who enter and leave my room, the chief priest and Darmell are very nervous. If you don’t ask, you can’t answer anything.
“I told Johan that Mine wouldn’t be able to come to the store unless the snow had melted, so be sure to get permission from the priest and act with caution.” I need your help “
“Yes”
Benno was stabbed with a pounding nail.
I will immediately ask the Priest. The chief priest, who seemed to have cleared up a lot of work that had accumulated during the winter season, immediately decided whether the meeting was relatively free.
“That priest, can you invite the blacksmith Johann and his parents to my room?”
“… Is your acquaintance that your name appears?”
“Yes, I’m Johann’s patron, so I have to evaluate what Johann made.”
Hum, the chief pats the temple with a finger.
“Does the blacksmith, Mine, Johan, know that you are an apprentice of a blue priest?”
“No, I don’t talk in particular. Johann thought I was a princess of the Gilberta Company, and maybe Benno wasn’t talking”
“Yes, then stop inviting me to the temple. It would be better for you to go to the store.”
“Why are shoemakers good and Johann not good?”
When I tilted my head, the priest taught me, exhaling gently.
“Shoesmen came to the apprenticeship room to make a blue apprentice shoe for the introduction of Gilberta Company, but Johann would come to the temple to show the goods to Gilberta Company Mine.
“… Ah”
When I held my lip, the priest stared.
“I tried to gather information in various places during the winter, but Benno seems to be holding down information about you. A child who is connected to the Gilberta Company and you who are an apprentice of a blue priest are the same person. There seemed to be few people who knew, and your identity seemed to be unexpectedly unknown. “
Speaking of which, Benno said he was considering not to expose me. If the chief priest finds out that he is not well known, he is really doing his best.
“If so, you’d better go to the store. If you’re an apprentice of a blue priest, you don’t want to spread it to the people in downtown.”
“I understand. I’m going to the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce”
It’s been a long time. I felt that my face was coming loose from the feeling of liberation from the temple, but I desperately tightened my face so as not to express my emotions as much as possible. However, the priest cut off my efforts, saying, “I just grinned my mouth and it ’s creepy”.
“Dermuel, asks Mine for escort. Mine, be sure to use a carriage when heading to the store. Never go out of the way. Just contact Benno about the carriage. Be careful not to expose yourself as much as possible. “
“Huh!”
“Be careful”
I laughed a lot while listening to the precautions of the priest.
…… Wait, my metal type! I’ll go see you right now!
Of course, when you decide, you can’t go to see them right away. You must call Lutz, who is working at the orphanage, ask for a message to Benno, and ask you to turn the carriage.
Benno contacts the blacksmith workshop and the date of the meeting is decided. The day of the meeting may be postponed, as the weather may be bad and the snowstorm may prevent the carriage from coming out.
“I need metal type for white space and symbols. It seems better to make the next order”
I will write the next order form until the day of the meeting. Beside that, you must be ready to head to the store.
“I wonder if it is better to prepare ink and paper, and then a horse string and a rag. You should know how to use it. Ask Fran and Gil to prepare at the workshop. Please give me. “
“I’m smart”
“Mine, what are you going to do in the store?”
When I was talking to Franc about preparing for the Gilberta company, Delia looks at me with a amazed face.
I don’t know how much information flows from Delia to the temple head. I smiled with a smile.
“It’s product evaluation”
The guards Dermuel and Franc, and Gill who has a strange opposition to Lutz, are accompanied by this time. He claimed that the work related to the Gilberta Company was his own territory, which he kept the workshop.
Even if I explain lightly how to use metal type in the store, I can’t move, so Gill will give a simple printing demonstration.
In the carriage that Benno sent us, we headed to the Gilberta Company while shaking. As soon as he left the temple gate, Dermuel, who had never been to the downtown area, distorted his face due to the odor and dirt drifting in the city.
“What smell does it mean?”
“… I can only get used to thinking of the smell of downtown”
…… If you only know that beautiful aristocratic town and a carefully cleaned temple, you will have that kind of face. I understand.
Even when I first became Mine, I was deeply impressed that I would have walked around the city with such a face. You get used to it and you can live a normal life. I think the tolerance of humans is amazing.
“That’s a challenge from the chief priest. I need to go to downtown to escort me.”
“… I see. This is a tough challenge”
The carriage arrived at Gilberta Company, with only Dermuel distorting his face. Marc comes out in front of the store to welcome the carriage.
“Welcome, Maine. All of you are here!”
“Hello, thank you to Marc’s. Guide”
“Women apprentice, hands up”
As usual, he was outraged with a hand from Dermuel. In such a case, I’ll have to be escorted like a young lady, but I’m a young lady, and I don’t have enough experience to escort smartly.
Somehow, the steps of the carriage are small and the steps are large for me. If you are distracted by Damuel’s hand, you risk falling.
“Darmuel and Mine are still small and dangerous on escorts.”
Francis refused and hugged me, saying I would be sorry if I was sweating coldly.
“Well, I’m sorry, I’m an apprentice lady. Because there are no young people around me, I don’t understand well.”
“No, I must grow up so that Dermuel must be treated as a full-fledged maid”
Since the road to the shrine maiden is steep, I don’t know if I can become a shrine maiden even if I grow up, but I entered the store with my heart. With Marc guiding, we head to the back room.
“My husband, Mine arrived”
In the back room, the blacksmith’s master and Johann, and then Benno and Lutz were waiting.
“Thank you for waiting”
As I entered, Johann and his parents sighed and opened their eyes. Unlike the lightness when I was walking around the city with Lutz, I think there is no way to be surprised because the three are also accompanied.
“Welcome, Maine, welcome”
When Benno greets, he greets as if his master and Johann were in a hurry.
I turned a smile to Johan in front of me while sitting on the chair that Fran pulled.
“Johan, I’m happy. I heard that you were able to complete the task.”
“This is an issue …”
Johan looked at the three Darmuels standing behind me and wandered his eyes as he was in trouble, taking out two square boxes wrapped in cloth onto the table. Metals collide with each other and make a sound.
Listening to the sound, Dokun and my heart screamed.
“As expected, it was too heavy to put everything in one box, so it was divided into two.”
Metal type begins with making fathers. The father’s mold is a hard metal with letters embossed. Making this father is a very detailed task. Since the character must be embossed on a metal about 1 cm in size, fine Johann craftsmanship is essential.
Once the father mold is completed, it is then driven into a mold made of soft metal. Then, the mother metal is recessed in the shape of the father’s letter. Then, this mother mold is put into a mold, and an alloy is poured there. After cooling, remove the alloy from the mold and you will have a metal type with exactly the same letters as the father.
Pour alloy into the same mold and cool it out. By repeating this, a set of characters of exactly the same size can be created.
“I was surprised that it was faster than expected. I can’t do it so fast …”
Just looking at the package, I feel a throbbing chest that I can’t express anything. I felt like my heart was pounding and my head was rising, and I exhaled lightly while holding my chest. I feel as if I’m looking for a lover who can’t see me, and stare at whether I can’t see through the cloth.
[It seems that I was completely unaware of my feelings of impatience, and Johan laughed as if shy, and scratched his cheeks.
“… everyone was interesting and helped me”
For all the characters, Johann made the father and mother, but in the subsequent mass production, the craftsmen who were spared by winter were interesting and helped.
The master struck Johann’s shoulder with a bang while grinning.
“I was laughing at the fineness that couldn’t be a problem of Doppler, while competing for the most beautiful casting of the alloy, and devising an efficient way to make it. A patron to look forward to, the god of blacksmith, the guidance of Valkanift. ”
Even though he laughs at Johann, he is impressed that Johann, who sells fine details, has a patron who makes a fine order. .
I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for this meeting.
“This metal type is a serious mass of craftsmen in our workshop. Show me, Johann”
“Yes, parent”
Triggered by the parent, Johann takes away the cloth.
There were two shallow wooden boxes of A4 size, and silver glitters were lined up in them. The unevenness of the letters shines back and shines brightly.
It is truly a masterpiece to have all the basic characters as ordered.
“Wow …”
I took out a metal type with a trembling hand. Letters are engraved on the small silver of 2.5 cm long. A small but heavy metal, I turn around in my hand and look around.
And another metal type was taken out and arranged on the table. Close your eyes and make sure there is no difference in height. This height difference greatly affects printing.
When I saw the type standing on the table without wobble, I broke my friendship more than I expected.
“How are you, Miss? Is it the product you want?”
¡When I looked around in the voice of my master, Johann was angry and waited for my evaluation.
When I compared Johann with a box full of small metal type, I grabbed it with a metal type in my hand.
“It’s wonderful! Just Gutenberg!”
“What?”
“I give the title of Gutenberg to Johan!”
“Huh?”
While she opened her eyes and mouth, only Lutz changed her face, approached my chair and shook my shoulder.
“Mine, calm down!”
I sit back and look up at Lutz.
“You can’t be calm! Gutenberg !?”
“I’m too excited, you idiot!”
Lutz’s hoarse voice comes down, but there is no way to settle down in front of the completed metal type. That’s impossible.
“Lutz, this will change the history of the book !? Will you be thrilled? Would you be thrilled? Now, more impressed! Let’s share this excitement!”
“Bad, Mine. I don’t know at all.”
Lutz seems to be unable to share my emotions. Looking around the room, it looks like a puzzled face that no one can understand. Isn’t it too sad that we can’t share this impression with anyone?
“Because it’s the beginning of the printing era! Everyone is witnessing the moment when history changes!”
I stand up and emphasize the splendor of this metal type. However, the surrounding reaction is not good.
“Guttenberg !? Gutenberg’s name is Johannes and Johann! What a wonderful coincidence! Miraculous encounter! Prayer to God!”
Lutz held his head when I gave a prayer.
“… Ah, Miss. What is Gutenberg?”
The master of the blacksmith studio glares at the eyebrows while blinking his eyes. I was happy with the words of my parents who tried to sympathize even a little, and I looked at them with my hands.
“A great man who has made an equal achievement in God to change the history of the book. Johann is Gutenberg in the city!”
While I insisted on that, I came up with the idea that printing was not possible with metal type alone. Printing requires not only metal type, but also paper, ink, and a printer. It is strange to praise only Johann, so everyone’s reaction may not be good.
“… Ah, isn’t that right? Not just the metal type Johann, but also those who make ink, people who make printing presses, Benno, plant paper, and Lutz who sells books. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, everyone is all Gutenberg. All are Gutenberg friends. “
“I don’t like such friends,”
When I put it in a group, Benno immediately refused.
“What is disgusting, Benno! It’s an insult to Gutenberg who prints and publishes books and affects the world! Rather, let’s rejoice.
Benno looked at me with a amazed, complimented look and then looked at Lutz as if he had said something. Lutz shakes his head as if “no treatment” and exhales.
“When you can make metal type, the next is the printing machine! Order from the woodworking workshop. Wow, you can really print! Wow!
My appreciation for Mestionola finally turned my consciousness down at the height of happiness.
