Chapter 234
聽
The area where the former temple chief went around was only the part close to Ehrenfest in the direct control, and the attitudes of the mayor and village chief changed clearly.
聽
“Is this something you don’t notice from the lord’s standpoint?”
聽
“… I was in the position of the head of the temple for a long time because of the strong influence of the back guard, and I also designated myself as a convenient tax collector. If the tax was paid properly, the relationship with the commoner would not have been pursued. “
聽
鈥淭he now deceased father was also weak to Jilvester’s mother …. The biggest cause was taking over me,鈥?he smiled with a bitter smile.
聽
“Silvester has also been in Aube Ehrenfest for only a few years. In order to eliminate his uncle, who has reigned as the head of the temple for decades, and thus his mother, power and cause Anyway, it’s troublesome to be a noble, there is a repulsion to do the right thing, it often takes time to accumulate power, to take root. It’s also very likely. If you feel a little unpleasant, leave it so you can see it. “
聽
I wonder if it’s difficult to dare to overlook unpleasant things. Then he was enshrined by the priest.
聽
“You don’t know?”
聽
“… If I don’t get involved with the book, I will try to see what it is.”
聽
At the time of getting involved, I don’t think it’s possible to do anything profoundly. In my words, the priest became a bitter face and exhaled.
聽
The prayer ceremony is the same as last year, except that we talked to the mayor and village chief of the Winter Hall, so it is proceeding without any problems. Of course, there are many differences compared to last year.
聽
For example, since I blessed last year, the yield increased, so no matter where I went to the winter pavilion this year, I was welcomed enthusiastically. Last year it was an apprenticeship with a blue priestess, but this year, as a shrine lord, we hold a prayer ceremony, so we can see from his gaze and enthusiasm that expectations are higher than last year.
聽
Also, it is different that it is an itinerary that you can afford to go around the winter pavilion one by one in the morning and afternoon, and that the accommodation is a winter pavilion, not a noble family. I stayed in the winter hall at the Harvest Festival, so there was no particular problem with the accommodation, and it wasn’t a drugged force like last year.
聽
However, I am tired of being careful because I have to eat meals with the influential people of the town and village. He is an adopter of the lord and participates as the temple head. It must be repaired accordingly.
聽
arriving in the morning, having a prayer ceremony, having lunch while talking with influential people, and in the afternoon, we pray for the next winter hall. And every day we have dinner with a powerful person.
聽
The schedule has been more relaxed than last year, but tiredness remains the same. After the meal is over, you can go down to the room as soon as you are still young, but it is better than the chief priest.
聽
At lunch time, 鈥淧lease tell us a little more …鈥? 鈥淚 heard a lot of interesting stories from all of you, so I would like to be as slow as possible, but in as little land as possible. I want to give you a blessing. ” Since the same thing is repeated every day, I have become accustomed to the smile of the saint.
聽
The side servants get on a carriage in the morning and head for the winter pavilion where they plan to stay, but I move on a beast. The side serving to move together with the Lesser is Fran and Zarm. This is because they are in charge of the management of the sacred items and serve the lunch.
聽
Lunch is made by their own chef, in the case of me, Ella makes a lunch. One obvious reason is that you can’t put a burden on the winter pavilion, where there is less food left over the winter. There is also a reason that the meal of the exclusive chef does not need to be poisoned.
聽
The biggest reason was that the priest did not give up, 鈥淎 meal that fits my mouth is good.鈥?鈥淥ccasionally, if you’re talking about eating the common people’s meals, you don’t want to continue every day,鈥?he said.
聽
I cannot disagree with that opinion. The better the rice is.
聽
A prayer-style journey continued while exchanging and buying cereals brought from the temple with wild vegetables, such as wild vegetables and a little hard lettuce, which can be taken in the spring near rural areas.
聽
“This is the closest village to the goddess’s bath”
聽
When I arrived at the Winter Palace in Fontedorf, the priest said.
聽
After the prayer ceremony in the afternoon, as usual, people from the village are invited to dinner. While eating dinner, I asked the village head and other influential people about the goddess’s baths.
聽
“Huh, are you heading to the goddess’s bath? The water over there is effective for minor illnesses and wounds. Since there is still snow, few people will go to collect water. In the summer, people are visiting from a little distance in search of water. “
聽
“Is it effective for the water of the fountain? Is it the goddess of water? Is it the fountain of Fruthrene? Or is it the goddess of healing, Lung Sumer?”
聽
When I raised the name of the goddess that heals healing, an influential person said, 鈥淣o one has actually seen the figure of the goddess, but it is said to be a place where the goddesses of spring gather.鈥?He told the fountain with a nice face to teach his grandchildren.
聽
“I’m really looking forward to the night of Fruthrene”
聽
“Huh, do you have to arrive at the fountain at the night of Fruthrene? That’s probably not enough. Even though it’s close, it’s quite far from here …”
聽
The village chief compared me with the chief priest.
聽
The fountain, called the goddess’s bath, seems to be in the back of a forest that is a small high mountain away from the isolat. In order to go to the fountain, it seems that it will take several days even by horse. The village chief says that no matter how rushed it will be in time.
聽
However, the chief shook his head loosely.
聽
“Don’t plan. We don’t need that many days because we move with a beast.”
聽
“Oh … oh yeah, yeah. If there’s a beast running in the sky, there’s no problem”
聽
A few people exhale for relief, just like the village chief who shook his chest as if he was relieved. One of them worried about his eyebrows.
聽
“The fountain Tarcloche should be very strong. If the knights are with you, you may think our worry is useless, but be careful.”
聽
“Thank you for your consideration”
聽
Talcloche does not come out of the fountain, so it seems to have been left unattended because there is no harm to the village. He told me that it should be quite large, so if you have a need for the fountain, you should be careful.
聽
“We don’t take much time to get to the fountain, but we want to get rid of Tarclosh while it’s bright. Let’s head with plenty of time.”
聽
Decided to camp in the forest in the words of the chief priest. In addition to hunting the Tarkurosh, he seems to kill the monsters around it.
聽
“From now on, we had to start by defeating the beasts to cultivate the fields, so it would be a great help to defeat the forest beasts.”
聽
So saying, the village chief laughed happily deepening the eyelids. It seems that the small monsters in the food-rich forest are now heading towards the rural areas when they begin to farm. Small monsters that do not call the knights are exterminated by villagers, but if they are done in parallel with farming, it seems to be a difficult task.
聽
“You should think that extermination of monsters is like an information fee”
聽
“And then one more piece of information”
聽
One grandfather hit the hand.
聽
“If you head to the goddess’s bath, you should bring something sweet.”
聽
“Are you sweet?”
聽
When I tilt my head, my grandfather tells me how to use sweet things, saying, “If you head from the sky with a beast, it seems to be necessary.”
聽
“It seems that the goddess who comes to that fountain likes sweet things such as honey, milk, and nuts, and if you take it to the statue of the goddess at the entrance of the forest, I can arrive “
聽
“Is that right? Then we will prepare sweets. Thank you for the useful information.”
聽
A world where magical powers of gods become magic. If you’re going to make your way easier, it’s better to prepare plenty and make sure you have served.
聽
“Leave sweet preparations to Rosemine. Prepare for departure tomorrow.”
聽
“Yes”
聽
The majority of the side servants will be left in Fontedorf’s winter pavilion and a few will head to the goddess’s bath.
聽
The knights can take care of themselves, so there is no side service. My cavalry, which can carry a number of people, was to carry my side service together so that I could take care of me.
聽
Employees to bring are Franc, Monica, Nicola, Ella and Rosina. In addition to those who take care of me, “The chief priest said,” If you take a chef, you can eat a satisfying meal. ”
聽
Rosina was allowed to remain, but she said “I can’t leave alone”, so I decided to take it. Nikola and Monica will also serve as cooking assistants, so I’ll have a side-serving job that doesn’t hurt my fingers.
聽
When I returned to my room with the waiter Fran, I spoke to Nikola and Monica who are preparing to go to bed.
聽
“Nikola, Monica. I want you to be prepared to spend a few days in the forest. Please tell Ella and Rosina that.”
聽
“Would you like to change the water and food to go to the goddess’s bathing area and prepare medicines?”
聽
When Monica approved, the franc was lightly struck.
聽
“Lose Mine, leave it to us. We ask you what you need.”
聽
“Then, all the luggage will be loaded onto my beast, so prepare food for the escort knight.”
聽
I said so and stopped looking at Nicola while looking around the side-served face.
聽
“And then Nicola. Tell Ella to prepare sweets like honey or jam.”
聽
“Are you sweet?”
聽
Nicola is the most addicted to food-related stories. I’m so happy with Ella’s assistant, so I’m the best friend with Ella.
聽
“Yeah, it’s an offering to the goddess. If you give something sweet, you can get to the fountain without hesitation.”
聽
Talking to a village grandfather, Nicola lit up with a joyful face.
聽
“Lose Mine, if you like sweets, try not only honey but also sweets. If you’ve never eaten sweets, the goddess may be more happy.
聽
“Yes, then ask Nikola to ask Ella”
聽
Nicola shakes the redhead pigtail close to orange and replies 鈥淵es!鈥?And then asks me about it.
聽
“… Rosemine, what should I do with the excess?”
聽
“Let’s take it to the fountain and treat everyone”
聽
“Yes!”
聽
Cookies were baked because they were easy to squeeze sweets. There was no oven and there were no tools to bake only the frying pans brought by Ella, so the cake was tasted like a cookie, but it looked like a bite-sized hot cake.
聽
I tasted one thing but there is no problem with the taste.
聽
After we prepared in the morning, after having lunch, we placed the side of the priest or escort knight in Fontedorf and aimed at the goddess’s bath with a beast.
聽
Going to the forest while running over the sky, following the narrow path between the fields.
聽
It was said that it was a few days away by horse, so it took a while, but it was earlier than the time when the bell of the five rings, and a small mountain and forest that is said to have a goddess’s bathing area spread out I reached the sky above the place.
聽
Once you get down to the entrance to the forest, the chief bounces up the part of the breath that covers the face of the samurai.
聽
“Eckhart, Darmuel, search for the fountain from above. Brigette and Rosemine are waiting here.”
聽
In search of a fountain called the goddess’s bathing area, three people run up on the beast again.
聽
At the entrance of the forest, we were told to wait, and once we got out of the beast, we stretched out. It is more comfortable than a carriage, but it gets tired if you keep driving.
聽
Like me, the side servants have gone out, still breathing cold air and stretching their bodies. Meanwhile, Monica pointed towards the forest.
聽
“Ah! Rosemine, isn’t that a statue of a goddess to offer?”
聽
Immediately after entering the forest from the road leading from Fontedorf, I saw a statue of a goddess who was entangled with dead plants and left for the winter. It must have been there for many years. The details of the face and decoration are cut off, making it difficult to understand. Even if I looked closely, I couldn’t immediately figure out which goddess it was.
聽
“Are you sure you want to clean, Rosemine?”
聽
“The goddess is so dirty that I can’t calm down”
聽
My side servants who grew up in the temple gathered and lowered my eyebrows. For those who are always purifying the image of God, the image of the dirty goddess seems to have been overlooked.
聽
“It doesn’t matter if you wipe the hay and clean it a little, but there’s not much time until the chiefs come back, so be quick.”
聽
“Yes!”
聽
rushing all at once, Fran, Monica, and Nicola begin to clean the statue of the goddess quickly. I just wiped out the dead leaves and hay and cleaned the place where I put the offering with a dry cloth, but it looked very clean.
聽
“Ella, prepare something to offer”
聽
隆Nikola brings me the honey, milk, dried fruits, and cookies that she took out of the wooden box that Ella had taken care of.
聽
I dedicate a few white flowers, Renfuru, to tell the arrival of spring that was blooming nearby, according to the offering that Nikola brought.
聽
“Let’s safely reach the goddess’s bath”
聽
When you make a request, it’s a sneaky kite that strikes you. Relieved to see the surrounding gaze, I hurry and pray right.
聽
“Pray to God!”
聽
“Pray to God!”
聽
Following me, everybody prays.
聽
After giving a prayer, I decided to ride on the beast and wait for the priests to return while eating the dried fruit they had brought.
聽
“Let me wait”
聽
Three beasts came down with the head of the priest.
聽
When I hurry and wipe my hands, I get down from the beast once and greet everyone.
聽
“Come back, everyone, have you found the goddess’s bath?”
聽
“No, I couldn’t find it from the sky. There was no unnatural flow of water and no breaks in the trees. It seemed that it was blindfolded by magic, so it was probably not reachable from the sky.
聽
JUSTOKUS who visited in the summer seemed to have reached the fountain easily from the sky, so the current time when the magical power is full may be special.
聽
“… It looks like I can only enter the forest from here.”
聽
The priest who looked at the eyebrows to look out for something turned his eyes to the entrance with the statue of the goddess.
聽
In the same way, I looked at the statue of the goddess and confirmed that the offerings were lined up and asked one.
聽
“The offering has already been completed and prayers have already been completed, so I think you’ll probably reach the fountain safely.”
聽
“You are optimistic … well, good. First is me, then Brigitte, Rosemine, Dermuel and finally Eckhart. Follow me.”
聽
The priest moved the cavalry into the forest. The wings of a beast that is usually widened are folded and run on a place slightly lifted from the ground.
聽
Brigitte drove the cavalry following the priest, and I chased Brigitte’s cloak with Reservoir.
聽
Although I couldn’t find the area near the entrance to the forest, there was still a lot of snow left when I went a little deeper. The trees are dim and the forest is dim because the sun is hard to hit.
聽
Since the priest and the escort knight are slightly floating, my lesser rushes through the forest in the same way.
聽
“Darmuel, Zanze has come!”
聽
“Huh!”
聽
Dharmell ran a cavalry to Eckhart’s brother’s voice and hunted a cat-like demon beast. Although he returned soon, he received attention from his brother Eckhart, such as 鈥淒o a magic stone with a single blow鈥?or 鈥淵our aim is sweet鈥?
聽
“Darmuel, Eifint. Go!”
聽
“Huh!”
聽
This time, it was a monster with a shape like a squirrel and about the size of a cat. You can see that two small horns grow short.
聽
銆奃armell chased away from the branch, jumping from branch to branch.
聽
We are waiting for Dermuel to recover the magic stone and return.
聽
“Darmuel is still slow to move”
聽
“Because there is little magical power, isn’t the attitude of trying to fight not to use too much completely infiltrated?”
聽
Eckhart and Priest are discussing Dermuel’s movements and discussing future education methods. Apparently, it seems that the period of hitting and extending Darmell in the Knights is still going on.
聽
The monsters that appear in front of us are small and few, so the hunting will end in no time.
聽
While one Darmuel struggled, there was a place that was opened a little to see if it was being used as a camp. Pass through without stopping, aiming for a deeper fountain.
聽
While trying to go further through several camps while defeating the monsters, the road is not interrupted. To be precise, it was closed by snow and disappeared.
聽
“Which way should I go?”
聽
The priest bounces up the brace that covers the face of the frog and looks around while narrowing his eyes. I also imitated the chief and looked around.
聽
It looks like it is surrounded by trees in the same way, but there is a part where the light seems to be plugged in only one place.
聽
“Principal, isn’t that over there? You can see the light faintly”
聽
“Where are you?”
聽
“Here it is”
聽
When I move the Lesser, the trees move quickly and make a path. I looked at the chief of the priest, gazing at the unexpected movement of the trees.
聽
“Oh, is this an effect of offering?”
聽
“… Maybe, not just that”
聽
The priest headed the beast on the open road, whispering with a bitter face. Following Brigitte, I entered a new road.
聽
When I walked along a road that was not an exaggeration to say a sharp curve, the road became brighter and suddenly opened up.
聽
The landscape in front of you changes from a dark forest surrounded by trees to a bright, sunny place.
聽
“… is this a goddess’s bath?”
聽
“What a beautiful …”
聽
Surprisingly it was completely spring.
聽
There was a fountain where clear water swelled with dazzling light so much that I couldn’t believe I had run on the road buried in the snow. Around the fountain, instead of snow, the white flower Renfur, which announces the arrival of spring, blooms and you can hear the sound of birds.
聽
The water surface was blown in a gentle breeze, sparkling and reflecting, and the fresh water that springed up flowed, creating a clear stream toward the back.
聽
A thin pink flower blooms in the center of the fountain, which cannot be said to be blue or green. At first glance, it looks like a water lily.
聽
“That’s a ryraine that is said to be a flower loved by the goddess”
聽
“Do you take that honey?”
聽
“Yes, but don’t go any further now. There is a sign of a monster. Probably Tarcroche. There are now too many non-combatants. Once you go down to the camp.”
聽
Returning to the nearest camp in the opposite order of the priest’s words this time. After seeing the beautiful spring scene, when I return to the snow-covered camp, it feels dim and gloomy.
聽
“Rose Mine, go down a little”
聽
When I went down to the trees with Brigitte, Priest and Brother Eckhart threw something as if I played with a finger on the open camp.
聽
The next moment, the snow around it disappears as you see it.
聽
“Snow is …”
聽
隆When I was stunningly seeing a decrease in front of me, the chief priest brought a beast.
聽
“Rose Mine, leave this witch in the beast. The beast will remain without you.”
聽
“I understand”
聽
As the priest told me, if I put a magical tool on the Reservoir so that it would not disappear without me, I would go outside.
聽
The air is very cold, probably because there is snow around it, or because it is difficult to reach the sun surrounded by tall trees.
聽
“The Rosemine servant is preparing the meal. We are heading for the subjugation of Tarclosh. Prepare to collect and ride with Brigitte. 19459002]
聽
The priest commanded my side to prepare meals and gave each person the role.
聽
When I check that there is nothing left behind in the collection set borrowed from the priest, I have a Brigitte cavalry ride.
聽
“Now everyone asks for meals.”
聽
“Be careful. We look forward to your return!”
聽
