Chapter 267

Chapter 267

I was very tired. That’s because I’m working hard day and night to meet my new sister, Charlotte. A blessing ceremony for aristocrats, a winter baptism ceremony where all aristocrats gather. There is more to do than the baptism ceremony in downtown, and there is a feeling of tension that should not fail every day.

 

There are many other things to do. Winter preparations for orphanages and their rooms, winter handicrafts and printing arrangements, a nobleman’s correspondence in the winter social world of the priesthood chief, and magic compression training. My head is already staggering.

 

At the Baptism Ceremony, I was asked to ask the priest to tell the myth about the management of medals for registering magical power and the reason the voice did not reach because I was uneasy. I generally remember what I had to do. I did my best.

 

However, I do not intend to show this effort to Charlotte.

 

…… Because I feel like I’ve done it, I want to say, “My sister, great!”

 

Winter is coming to the end of autumn. While the snow flickered, a winter baptism ceremony was held in downtown.

 

At the baptism, I seriously thought there might be a god in this world. God gave me a reward that worked so hard. The family came to the door.

 

カ While a worried family looked into the face, Kamil, who was dressed in this, was running. I was running dangerously with a sloppy joy.

 

…… Cho, everyone, look!ウ My brother, really cute. Cute at a level that worries about kidnapping. Because I want to kidnap. What’s that ass! Thank God!

 

】 Fatigue blows away at a glance. And Kamil waving at me. Because Turi said, that doesn’t matter. Bye-bye to me, I waved my hand.

 

…… Oh, already! What should I do! ? I was so excited that I might not be able to return from the prayer room to the room on my own!

 

While I was trembling with excitement and excitement on the platform, the door was closed silently by the gray priest, but when I closed my eyes, Kamil’s adorable figure stood there.

 

“Rose Mine, don’t be absent, go back to the room”

 

“… Oh, the head of the priest. I’m a little too excited and my head is dizzy, so let me take a break”

 

When you lean on the altar where the scriptures are placed, the white stone altar is cold and cool. I cool my head at the cool altar and close my eyes, and I refute Kamil’s cute figure.

 

“I’m too excited to move? Are you really stupid?”

 

Talking to the chief priest with a face that looks like a hangover because of too much compression of my magic, I suddenly sharpened my lips, but things that can’t move cannot move.

 

“Rose Mine, if you take a rest, take a rest in the room. You can’t recover by Charlotte’s baptism”

 

“That’s a problem”

 

When I opened my eyes, there was a scary face of the priest. The priestess lifted me silently and tried to go back to surprise, and when I went down the platform, I handed it down to the frantic waiting underneath.

 

“Fran, let me recover this before heading to the castle”

 

“I’m smart”

 

franc walks up holding me. As soon as I got back to the room, I was taken medicine and was thrown into the bed with a wooden bill that wrote the precautions for the baptismal ceremony.

 

“Lose Mine, there are reading materials, so please relax on the bed until you head to the castle”

 

“… Hahi”

 

The day of moving to the castle has arrived without anything being done except practicing the baptism ceremony and giving instructions during the winter. This year is the baptism ceremony the next day we moved. According to Fran, it seems that the priest ’s consideration is that if you are in the temple, you will be able to relax rather than in the castle. Thanks to that, he seems to be able to meet the baptism ceremony of Charlotte in perfect condition.

 

I was changed into a ceremonial dress for the head of the temple by Richarda and Otelier early in the morning. With a new hair ornament from Turi, he is on the road.

 

I was taken to the waiting room earlier than last year because I was supposed to enter the hall earlier than Charlotte, who attended the baptismal ceremony. The escort knight is the brother of Cornelius with a cloak and brooch from the Aristocratic House.

 

From the window of the waiting room, the main entrance of the main building was seen, and I saw the carriages arriving one after another. Aristocrats with their families descended, and people who seemed to serve their side came down from the next carriage. Some people seemed to be musicians with musical instruments.

 

“… A great number of people”

 

“Because the first and last days are all of the Ehrenfest nobility, the crowd is natural”

 

Similarly, Brother Cornelius, who was looking out the window, praised her shoulder lightly. In the meantime, the beasts have arrived one after another from the sky, and the main entrance is quite crowded. A large number of people will gather in the salon.

 

“Is it already here, Rosemine?”

 

“Good morning, Ferdinand-sama”

 

A priest wearing a ceremonial costume entered the room. Then, after a while, one of the civilians came to call us. It is time to enter the hall.

 

I enter with the priest.

 

Like last year, there was an altar in the center of the stage, and on the left side of the stage were the lord and his wife, their escort knights and side servings. On the right side of the stage, musicians with feshpeel are lined up, and the family of the child receiving the baptismal ceremony stands with a ring of magical tools.

 

When I walked about 3-4 steps, I walked in the center of the hall with the feeling that the priest moved one step. When I went up to the stage and sat down on the prepared chair, I was complaining “slow” in a loud voice.

 

With our arrival, the adoptive father, the lord, came up to the stage.

 

“This year again, the earth goddess Gedrulich was hidden in Evilive, the god of life. Everyone must pray for the arrival of spring together”

 

When the lord is told to hold a social gathering, the nobles shine their stap and pray for a quick recovery of the Spring Goddess.

 

And, the outline of the incident that occurred in the autumn hunting competition and its disposal were described. It was told that Villefried had been removed from the appointment of the next lord, and that he was searching for memory, and at the same time, the aristocrats who had searched for Villefried’s memory were also disposed of. Because it was originally only about the gray zone, it doesn’t give you much punishment.

 

Disposal itself was minor, whether it was a slight relegation, a reduction or a fine, but in the future, it was widely known in the social world that it would not be used again. That is their greatest punishment.

 

In addition, after the detailed communication for all the aristocrats is over, the baptism ceremony and the opening of the show are finally underway.

 

As the lord descends from the stage, I take care not to step on the skirt on the platform prepared in the center of the stage to be replaced. The priest stood next to me and opened his mouth.

 

“Give a new Ehrenfest child”

 

The musicians started playing music all at once in the voice of the chief reverberating in the hall, and the door was slowly opened. The children lined up in front of the door began to move their legs. The lord ’s daughter, Charlotte, is the head. It was easy to see walking in the center of a large hall with many people with a tense face.

 

Charlotte’s costume seems to be a baptism, with warm, warm clothes that are also fluffy white, with red ornaments and embroidery that are precious colors in winter. It had a red collar knitted with wool, and it complemented the silver-like blonde that it was spinning. The red flower hair ornaments that I lent are well reflected in the light-colored hair.

 

“The indigo blue eyes that were shaking uneasy looked at me and laughed a little.

 

…… Do your best, Charlotte. I will do my best.

 

When the children stop standing in front of the stage, I move my hand and tell them to go up to the stage, keeping an eye on Charlotte. Following the instructions, the Charlottes went up to the stage and lined up side by side.

 

Eleven children were christening this year, five of which were baptized. The baptismal flow is almost the same as last year. There is no big difference except that I am standing as a temple head in the ceremonial position.

 

After the priest tells the myth with a well-sounding voice, I call each child’s name. Start with a child of a lower aristocrat and end with Charlotte.

 

“Charlotte”

 

Charlotte, who was called out by my voice, approached me with a happy smile. I handed a magic tool for magic testing to Charlotte, wrapped in thin leather that does not pass magic.

 

Charlotte picks up the magic tool stick and glows it. When applause broke out, I took out the medal and pushed the magic tool like a seal, and registered Charlotte’s magic power in the medal.

 

“There are blessings of the five gods of light, water, fire, wind, and earth. By doing what is appropriate for the blessings of the gods, you will receive more blessings.”

 

When you finish registering the magic power on the medal, immediately put it in a box for the priest to manage.

 

At the same time, an adopted father with a ring of magical tools came up to the stage. Gives Charlotte a hand with a ring to release magical power and gently narrows her eyes before the growth of her beloved daughter.

 

“As my daughter, give a ring to Charlotte, recognized by God and everyone. Congratulations, Charlotte”

 

“Thank you, dad”

 

happily Charlotte pats a red magic stone ring in his left middle finger.

 

Adopter raised his face and sent me a glance. I whisper lightly and give Charlotte a blessing.

 

“Blessing of the Earth Goddess Gedrulich to Charlotte”

 

Red light flies to Charlotte at my blessing. Actually, this blessing practice was the hardest part of the baptismal practice. Adjusting the right amount is very difficult for me.

 

According to the priest, my blessing seems to be greatly influenced by emotions. It was said that if you do it unconsciously, the blessings will change greatly in Charlotte and other aristocrats you don’t know.

 

The temple head who gave blessings at the baptismal ceremony couldn’t do that suddenly, so I was able to practice the control of blessings considerably.

 

Thanks to the practice, I was able to give a blessing not much different from others. When I am relieved, Charlotte, who has been blessed, now puts magic on the ring.

 

“I’m sorry”

 

Poor red light flies over to me. The blessing returned the applause from the nobility and the baptism of Charlotte ended.

 

After the baptism ceremony for all members, the show will be held. We are delighted that the aristocratic child who celebrated the baptism this year has joined the aristocratic family, and wishes for the protection of the future god, playing the festival, singing and dedicating music.

 

A chair is set up in the center of the stage, and music dedication starts in order from a child of a lower aristocratic family, just like last year.

 

“Let’s pray to God and give music dedication”

 

Calling a child’s name, the child sits in a central chair with a tense face. The musician came up with a festival and handed it along with a small word of encouragement.

 

After the performance was over, I had to call out to each one, saying, “I did my best, and the gods would be happy.” Proceed with refrigeration so that the name and order are correct.

 

“Charlotte”

 

The lord’s daughter, Charlotte, is the last. Sitting on the chair in the center of the stage, the musician takes the fesh peel and goes up to the stage. Charlotte, who was handed over by the musician, set up the festival.

 

… well, good. As expected, my sister!

 

Unlike Ville Fleet, who was practicing and was a baked blade, Charlotte seems to have practiced seriously as a lord’s child. I play very well. I will have to practice not to lose as an older sister.

 

“I played very well. The gods will be happy.”

 

“I’m sorry”

 

The show is over when Charlotte has descended from the stage. The priest says the closing word and I leave the hall with the priest.

 

“You have to change clothes during the ceremony, Princess, Ferdinand Bachama”

 

“I know, Richarda”

 

“Let’s hurry back to the room”

 

After completing the duties of the temple chief and the chief priest, you must now come to the social area as a nobleman.

 

The awarding ceremony is a ceremony in which the lord gives a cloak or brooch to a freshman heading to the aristocracy. After that, the schedule for departure to the aristocratic house etc. is stated, so the escorts that I have now are Darmuel and Brigitte.

 

“Everyone hurry up!”

 

Defended by Richarda, who is fast ahead, Dermuel and Brigitte make a short run. I speeded up the Lessers so I couldn’t leave it to everyone.

 

When I returned to my room, the O’Telier was already preparing to change clothes. The costumes of the temple chief are stripped one after another by Richard and two people, and they are changed to a costume based on the noble color of winter.

 

“Now, Princess. Hurry up.”

 

«I jumped out of the room as my hair was distorted and my hair ornaments were reinserted, and at the same time I was driven by Richarda. Get on the beast and head to the cafeteria where you are prepared for lunch.

 

“You have been brilliantly served as the temple head, Princess. Princess Princess Charlotte will be very happy”

 

In the words of Richarda, when I entered the cafeteria with my cheeks loosened, the award ceremony seemed to be over and everyone was waiting for my arrival.

 

“Thank you for waiting”

 

When I get to the seat, my foster mother works with a gentle smile.

 

“That’s all right, Rosemine. Charlotte said that I wanted the blessing of Rosemine at today’s baptism. Was it hard?”

 

“No, my foster mother, a request from my cute sister”

 

Certainly it was hard. Preparations for orphanages and their rooms in winter, winter handicrafts and printing arrangements, and courses for making medicine and compressing magic around Hasse. In addition, he was struck by practicing baptismal ceremonies and dealing with aristocrats in the winter social world. It was so hard that I was half dead.

 

I worked hard to win the respect and praise of my cute sister.

 

“Your sister’s figure of the shrine was fine and very nice. I want to be like you too.”

 

Charlotte sees me with indigo eyes that sparkle and respect.

 

…… Yes, I wanted this. My efforts have been rewarded!

 

After lunch, return to the hall to socialize. We will exchange greetings with adults. Last year I had a big blessing riot with the performance of Feshpil that I showed off, so the order of the awarding ceremony and lunch were switched, and I got out before I got a greeting from the nobility. Wrong.

 

The three lords must act together and receive greetings from the nobility. And it is necessary to appeal to the nobles that the relationship was not born in the riots caused by Villefried.

 

Listening to the aristocrats chatting at the salon, I gently hold my stomach. I didn’t eat too much lunch. Thinking about future exchanges, it only makes the stomach harder.

 

…… How many of these are enemies?た Not everyone because it was on the mother’s list, and the enemies that are hiding are the most scary.

 

The names of the nobility on the list received from the mother are all remembered, but they do not match the face. For the time being, Villefried and Charlotte also used to be a list of people who should be careful because they were former Veronicas, but because the time was short, I do not know if it was remembered.

 

“Lose Mine, Villefleet, Charlotte, Good Morning”

 

At first, I greeted and chatted with the Florentian people, so my stomach did not hurt so much. There is also a reason that we had to make a thorough introduction of Charlotte, who must enter the women’s world.

 

However, when the conversation with the aristocrat who concludes the greeting with the Florentian faction and explores the scandals that Wilfried has caused at the hunting competition, the stomach hurts.

 

A nobleman approached Villefried with a laughing smile. I divide and greet Villefried and Charlotte behind me and give a formal greeting. I understand that he is a blacklisted nobleman, but he always smiles.

 

A nobleman said, “I thought that a soft cloth had flowed into the white tower, but…” “I guarded you from jumping out from below. Hey, Villefried brother,” laughs and answers.

 

Aristocrats leave while saying, “Oh, was that so,” but when I thought that this kind of exchange would continue, I was surprised.

 

“Rose Mine, what did the nobility say before?”

 

Villefried, who laughed and agreed, secretly asked me. As I confirm that I am surrounded by an escort knight, I also answer quietly.

 

“By meeting Veronika in the white tower, I thought that Villefried had entered the Old Veronica group,” he said.

 

“What did your sister answer?”

 

“You can’t leave Aub Ehrenfest,”

 

Villefried tilted his head as if he was unable to understand.

 

“… It’s difficult. Why does Rosemine know such phrases?”

 

“I was struck by Ferdinand for today”

 

He was told to stand on the face. I have just finished the baptismal ceremony with Villefried, whose meaning is not well understood, and the priesthood chief told me that I would not leave the response to Charlotte, who had never been in contact with the nobility. He was struck with expressions of disgust and sarcasm.

 

“I’m sorry for being unbearable”

 

“Your sister. Wasn’t it really hard because of my request?”

 

“As a temple head, what must be remembered. Charlotte doesn’t care.”

 

Although it was hardened by the side service and escort knights, the time for the stomach to finish was over, and it was time for our children to leave, screaming at the dishes lined up in the hall. After this is adult time.

 

The three of us return to the north away with each side serving one by one and four escort knights.

 

“Your brother, sister. I’m glad you finished it safely.”

 

“Tomorrow I’m Carta in my child’s room. I’ll show you the results of one year of practice”

 

“Everyone else is practicing, Villefried brother”

 

Talking to Charlotte about the welcoming and winter life in the children’s room, I turned around from the front of the main building.

 

“Oh?”

 

I felt that the window moved slightly to the north.

 

“Could you please, princess?”

 

“Richarda, I felt that the window there moved a little.”

 

I continued, saying “I’m sorry, I’m sure”, but Charlotte’s side serving close to the window I pointed to went to the window.

 

“The key is …”

 

With such a voice, a large window was opened, and nearly ten black squirrels with their entire body covered with a black cloth jumped into their hands. With that momentum, the side serving near the window was pushed out and rolled into the hallway.

 

“Ky !?”

 

“Oh!”

 

escort knights who moved quickly to protect the Lord took a formation that contained and surrounded the attackers who had jumped in, while changing their staps all at once.

 

As the attackers and armored knights hold arms, me and Charlotte are separated from the north and Villefried’s brother is divided into the main building.

 

“Half the main!”

 

With such a cry, two of Wilfried ’s escort knights, two of Charlotte ’s escort knights, and my escort knights Darmuel and Brigitte struck the attackers with their arms, The melee started.

 

“Villefried brother! Please return to the main building for help. Ramprecht, hurry up!”

 

When I shouted, Oswald held his brother Villefried and started running to the main building. In order to protect the two, Brother Lamprecht and another escort knight run with weapons.

 

“Older sisters, we should hurry away from the north. There is a barrier over there!”

 

Whether or not he is already running, Charlotte’s voice is getting far away.

 

When I looked back, the figure of Charlotte with two escort knights started running toward the north.

 

Cold sweat pervades the current situation where the number of knights that can be handled has been reduced. I took off my seat belt, stepped on and shouted.

 

“Charlotte, wait! It’s dangerous!”

 

Just before Charlotte arrives in the corridor, the three of them jumped in from the window. Two escort knights responded to the spear, but the remaining one jumped out of the window with Charlotte standing there.

 

Sound of big wings hitting the sky and the sound of a wing echoes, and the appearance of a white Tenma appears in the dark night sky of winter.

 

The black beast manipulated by the black bear holding the Charlotte spread his wings wide and began to run through the sky.
