Chapter 152
Today is the day when you can taste the heaven and hell of the preaching of the priest and the return home after a long time. I can’t help but enjoy the evening that my father and Turi come to pick up.
“Mine, come”
“Hahi …”
When I went to the priest’s room with Fran and Dermuel, I was immediately taken to a hidden room that was a preaching room, as the letter said.
I sit in a chaise lounge as usual. The chief prisoner took out the wooden bill placed on the desk, put the ink on the small table, held the pen in his hand, crossed his legs and looked at me with an interrogation posture.
“I didn’t call you to talk separately. You should have said that you want to hear what you want to hear. First, let me know in detail about the press you are going to make.”
It seems that the list of things that could not be asked at the main workshop during the tour was gathered, and one after another was asked about the amount and speed of the books that can be printed on the printing press. But I couldn’t give a clear answer to any question.
“We don’t have a printing machine, and we need more metal type to make a book with only letters. And now, if we don’t make paper and ink in the workshop, we can print No, you can’t figure out how fast you can get with just one press, and how fast you can get it. “
“I see.”
While saying so, the priest dropped his gaze on the board at hand.
“Now, I want to ask you about the fact that history will change. Once you start printing, what will happen to the books that have been copied by humans until now?
“If you think of it as a hobby, if it’s a hobby, then it was pushed away by the wave of mechanization, and it was gradually abolished. Well, slowly over a hundred to two hundred years.
The priest head draws his eyebrows while writing on the board.
“In your world where all the citizens were studying, it was natural that everyone read letters and read books, but it wasn’t right from the beginning. What has changed socially as a result of the increase and spread of books? ”
“It has changed a lot, but the impact varies from country to country and from social conditions. If the world is different, I don’t think it will be helpful at all.”
“How has it changed, for example?”
In the words of the priest, I recall the history of the Reino period. There are many things, but I don’t know if it leads to a priest without knowledge of the premise.
“In some cases, the people shared information and gained knowledge, overthrew the ruling, and started politics by the people. Some leaders were intrigued by summarizing their consciousness, even if they knew that the people would know the letters and that the means of information transmission would change significantly. I don’t know how to use it. “
“I wonder if it depends on how I use it, but I don’t know what will happen if the impact is too great …”
The priest, whispering so, writes on the board one after another.
“Unlike the world that I know, this is a world where life cannot be achieved without a nobleman with magical powers?” Even if the literacy rate increases and books spread, I can’t tell you, but it’s a good idea to tell the book how well the nobility is working for the people, but if the aristocrats and priests don’t work seriously, it’s counterproductive.
“What do you mean?”
The priest saw me in a mysterious way. I gave up my shoulder lightly.
“The people in downtown don’t know what the nobles are doing unexpectedly. In rural villages, a prayer ceremony is held, and the Holy Grail is filled with magic power in front of you. It was directly linked to life, so I had a deep faith in God, and unlike the downtown area, it seemed like I was praying to God normally. “
“I have never thought of the faith of the downtown area … your opinion is quite interesting. The viewpoint is different from us.”
Remino’s memories are still strong in me, not to mention the difference in status. It seems interesting for the chief priest to have different opinions from people in this world.
“Fum …. Then I’ll give you a command based on my current situation. Don’t print for a while”
“Why? Why?”
“The people don’t know how to fall, as you say, and it seems that they can be commanded by magical powers, but it seems that only the aristocratic backlash is certain”
According to the story of the chief priest, those who can make manuscripts can obtain a stable high income. And the aristocracy students, priests and shrine maidens who are not rich in their parents’ homes often earn their living expenses with manuscripts. The chief priest said that if a book with only letters would be printed all at once, it would have to buy the mercy of the lower nobility around it.
“… That means that the vested interests are nobles?”
The other party’s power is not comparable to the existing interests. This is scary. As I trembled, the priest slowly exhaled.
“You have been printing children’s picture books so far, and you were saying that they could not be produced in such a large amount because they were printed using paper. I thought the impact on the aristocrats and the priests was not enough to ban printing, but what would happen if I used a printing press? ”
I decided to prepare metal type because it was difficult to carve with a single letter. I thought it would be nice to be able to create a book with only letters. It is nothing but the act of taking away the job of the copy student that happened in Reno’s world.
“Do not print for a while … until when?”
Even if you can make a press, it is difficult to print. When asked to the priest how long he should endure, the priest narrowed his golden eyes.
“Until you’re a Karsted adopter”
“Huh?”
“If the commoner devours the nobility, it will be crushed at once. However, if you start printing as a territory with permission from the lord as a senior nobility here, it will not be crushed so easily.
If it is only one commoner, it will be easily destroyed. However, if you become a senior aristocratic female and start with a national project with the permission of the lord, you will not be able to crush it to a lower-class aristocrat who makes money. Rather, they say they can bring in lower-class nobility to the printing business.
Suddenly it was a big story.
If you start the printing business at once in the territory, no one will be crushed. But when the press is ready, can I wait for more than two years to print? It’s been two and a half years since I started living as Mine. Can you endure the same length without making a book other than a picture book for children?
As I read the thoughts that go round and round, the chief squints, looking straight at me and slightly raising the edge of my mouth.
“How is Mine? Why don’t you become a Karstedt adopter now?”
The balance of my heart moved for a moment.
But that was really a moment, and I immediately shook my head.
“I can’t. Finally, I can finally go home …”
“Are you dissatisfied with Karsted?”
“No way, I think Karsted is a very nice person. He’s a big man, he is reliable, he has a high position, and if he thinks as an adopted father, I don’t think there is any more.
Still, I want to stay with my family. I don’t want to be shorter, even though it’s long and it’s up to 10 years.
“If you’re away from your family, you can’t help but miss your family …. Go home and relax with plenty of family. You may get a different answer.” ]
The face of the chief laughing suddenly seemed to win. It’s a face that I expect to be able to put up with a book and say that I will be an adopter without waiting for it to be ten years old.
I squeezed my hand on my lap and looked straight at the chief.
“I can’t give you a different answer. I want to stay with my family until the last minute allowed …. I’m not sure how much filial I have done as a result of putting the book at the top of priority. It was the priest who struck me. “
By pointing the past enough to appeal to the five senses with magical tools, the existence of a family that would not return if lost was strongly engraved in my heart.
In my words, the Priestess exhaled lightly.
“If you have that hard decision, you can’t help it. For the next two years or so, make only a small book for children.”
“… Yes”
“Mine, I’m here to pick you up”
“Did the priest’s story end?”
When I finished talking with the chief and returned to my room, my father and Turi had already picked me up in the hall on the first floor.
“Dad, Turi!”
The feelings of the whirlwind when talking to the chief priest flew away. I rushed to leave Fran and Dermuel at the door and jumped to my father.
“Wow!”
When he jumps to his father, he lifts me up as expected. He lifted me up, swung around and swung down, then lowered me. After that, my father’s big hand swirls my head to rub it and promises until my hair gets messed up.
“If you’re mine, your hair is crumpled again”
Turi, who was watching my reunion with my father, laughs, removes my bag and straightens my hair with a hand comb. I felt the nostalgic feel of Turi getting my hair trimmed out of the bag that Turi removed.
“Please wait for me to change my clothes soon”
I moved up to the second floor in good spirits and changed clothes with the help of Delia. He took off the blue priestess, took off his lapel sleeves like a noble lady, and passed the sleeve through the apprenticeship of Gilberta after a long time. I feel a little smaller.
When I decided to go to the temple, it was cold without a coat before it started snowing, but now that the prayer ceremony was over, I didn’t need a thick coat.
“… Hey, Maine. Is your family so good?”
Delia leaned his head strangely while holding the button.
“Even if I serve hard, Mine will disappear. Would you be better with your family than with us?”
“I didn’t hate the winter life here. They all served me well and I was able to live a comfortable life. But I was lonely, so I wanted to go home and my family. I want to meet you. “
I know that Delia has worked hard, but I still want to go home. I want to go back to my family.
“I’m sorry, Delia”
“I don’t apologize for Mine …. but I really don’t know. What is a family?”
Delia asks with a mysterious blink, not a tone that criticizes the Lord who wants to return to his family. Delia, who grew up in an orphanage and is not sure about her parent’s face, avoids orphans who should have grown up together.
“Well, I think it varies from person to person, but for me, where is it?”
“Where are you?”
“Yes, it’s the safest place”
Delia looked toward the stairs in an enviable manner.
“… That’s certainly a good thing”
When I have finished changing my clothes, I reach for my luggage to take home. Rosina, who was watching the situation, drew attention, “Mine-sama, I don’t have enough room. Please calm down and behave a little more elegantly.”
“Fespeel has improved during the winter, and the standing behavior has improved. Since Mine is easily influenced by the environment, please be careful not to forget it when you come home.” [19459002 ]
“… Yes”
Rosina began to pay attention to paying attention even after returning home like a priestess. It is the amount you want to write on the list. I don’t feel like memorizing. It ’s not too good to meet you, but it ’s too big.
“Rosina, will come again tomorrow, so continue tomorrow?”
“That’s right … Mine is coming tomorrow”
Rosina pressed her mouth as if he was relieved. And smile a little lonely and laugh softly.
“I felt like I couldn’t come here anymore. Christine, who told me to go home, had never seen her.”
Rosina’s facial expression, as if the sadness left in the temple, was highlighted, and I learned that the scars left by the former Lord were unexpectedly deep.
“Rosina, I will come tomorrow”
“Yes, we are waiting”
There are not many things to bring home. You don’t need luxurious clothes or shoes. Household items are also at home. Just bring the tote bag you had when you came.
When I go downstairs with my bag, Delia and Rosina come down. It seems to see me off.
“Dad, Turi, wait.”
On the first floor, all side servings were available.
gil looks like he rushes back and comes back from the workshop, and franc seems to be sent to the house together so that he can change his clothes.
“Then, are you going home? Mine has been indebted for a long time”
“It’s natural to take care of Mine-sama, because we are Mine’s side-serving.”
Gill laughs at his father’s words.
I looked around everyone, laughing smallly in the words of Gill, whose polite tone was mixed with the previous tone.
“Then ask for absence”
“We look forward to your early return”
The side servants whispered with their hands crossed together in front of the chest.
Dermuel must go to the house together for escort. And Franc accompanies us to guide Dermuel’s return journey, which has never been to us. Lutz, who finished his work in the workshop, joined in front of the workshop and went home together.
Out of the temple gate, I walked with nostalgic feeling on the stone pavement where snow was completely gone. It’s been a while since I walked around the city with my feet.
Today I was walking with my hands holding Lutz and Turi. When you are in the temple, you don’t walk hand in hand with someone like this. Both hands were warm and happy.
The father follows us, talking with Darmuel and Franc about the dangers around us and the security of the city.
“It’s been a while since I walked at the speed of Mine”
“Hey, Mine. While you’re in the temple, walk, don’t you slow down?”
“Lie !? It’s late!”
When moving in the temple, neither Fran nor Darmell try to rush me. When you are in a hurry, you are picked up and transported. No one is in a hurry, so I am walking at my own pace, but it may be slow.
“How long ago was this?”
Lutz shook his head laughing when I tried to move my legs.
“Stop, Mine. It’s not like trying hard. It’s been a while, so you should go back slowly.”
Guilberta Shokai was seen as I walked around while looking around. I remember that the priest told me not to print for a while.
“You have to go talk to Benno tomorrow …”
“What happened?”
“I told you not to print for a while, so the story”
When I gave up my shoulder, Turi looked lightly and looked at me.
“Why? Why? Mine really wanted and worked hard?”
“Aristocratic circumstances”
“… So, I was sorry.”
¡Turi comforts me with my free hand. I lightly closed my eyes and laughed a little while enjoying the feeling.
“I never said I shouldn’t do it. It’s just two years and a little patience, so I’m fine.”
When I feel sad or lonely in this way, I feel anew that my choice is not wrong because I can’t leave my family.
“Then, when the bell of Tomorrow 2 rings, I will come to pick you up. Until then, do not go out”
When I arrived at the well square, Darmell said with a severe face. It seems that my ban on going out until the escort is the same whether I go home or in the temple.
“Sad, Dermuel. It’s hard to make a round trip to Franc, but please.”
“Yes. Please slowly pamper your family tonight. We look forward to returning to you tomorrow”
Francs crosses hands in front of chest.
“Thank you, Fran, Darmell. See you tomorrow.”
Dermuel and Fran returned in the well square and left.
And after breaking up with Lutz, go up the stairs leading up to the 5th floor.
“Look, Mine. Do your best, a little more”
Maybe my physical strength dropped during the winter so that I couldn’t go home without the support of my father and Turi. Even if it is not free, it will be a problem if it is reduced further.
“Now, my mother”
I opened my door after a long time. The smell of preparing meals jumps in the moment you open the door. He seemed to have noticed the voice going up the stairs and started serving. My face smiles with the smell of my mother ’s home cooking after a long time.
“Welcome back, Mine”
A mother holding a big stomach raised her face with Kotori and a plate. My mother’s smile is filled with happiness, nostalgia, happiness, and my heart is filled with loneliness.
“I walked outside for the first time in a while, so I was hungry”
“Let me put my luggage and help me with the preparation”
“Yes”
When I put my tote bag and wash my hands, I started serving with Turi. It’s been a while since I worked for myself, and it was a little fun.
“When is my mother born?”
When I asked my stomach to grow big enough to be torn, my mother boiled her stomach lovingly.
“It’s not strange to be born anymore. Maybe I was waiting for Mine to come back.”
laughing with couscous, my mother said so. I’m glad if you really waited. I ’m stroking my mother ’s stomach and saying, “My sister, I ’m back.” The palm was kicked like a reply.
“Wow! I was kicked. I want to reply”
The family laughed at my voice.
Eat mother’s home-cooked food, bathe in a bath while teasing, and sleep with the family in a narrow bed that hits Turi when you roll over.
Dawn, my mother began to cry.
