Chapter twenty one

I was stunned the day Turi went to the first apprenticeship. None of the entrusted help can do this.

I have modern knowledge and I thought I could do it, but knowledge is useless.

Turi was a great sister.

First, I couldn’t carry water. I can’t get it from the well. Too little power.

It was only possible to pump up little by little, and it was difficult to go up the stairs, and I had to make 5 round trips to carry a full glass of water. Of course, the water you need isn’t full. A lot of water bottles.

My mother was carrying water together, but my mother filled the water bottle and I filled the jar at the same pace.

I can’t use it.

I was told to ignite firewood because I was preparing for lunch.

Because I learned from the accommodation training during my school days, I can assemble a kite. A thick tree and a thin, flammable tree are combined to create an air passage, and dry grass is placed so that it can be easily lit. That was possible.

However, it cannot be lit. It was Chakkaman who used it for the accommodation training. I have no experience using flint. I tried to see what Turi was doing.

“Uhy !?”

When we met stones vigorously, it was natural that sparks were scattered. I was surprised by the sparks shining in front of me, and removed the stones. I felt like it was like fireworks and I was going to get burned.

After all, it was taken up by my mother on the way.

I ca n’t use it.

Can help with cooking. I thought so, but I couldn’t.

The kitchen knife is too heavy to lift with both hands. If you look at a bird that has been tightened, it will harden.

I can only cut the ingredients that have been cut to a certain extent with a small knife or provide a recipe. There is very little you can do on your own. Because I am short of height, I can’t stir the pot even if I get on the table.

My mother gave up the recipe, but I was honestly struck by my inconvenience.

I’m really useless.

“What’s wrong, mine?”

Turi, who returned from his first job, called out to me, who was more depressed. My mother smiles instead of denting me and answers.

“… I helped you today, but I feel like I’m depressed because I couldn’t do anything”

“Huh? Now?”

Yes, now.

I’m sorry, but I realized.

I’m useless.

“… I tried a lot, but I couldn’t do it at all”

“Well, if I understand the current situation, should I make an effort?”

“Mine is the best for cleaning only”

If you just sweep with a broom and wipe with a rag, you have experience and you can manage it even if you don’t have much power. I get hot when I put too much energy.

And cleaning is not a help for me. I just couldn’t stand the unclean environment. Although it was just sick, it only improved the environment that could make it worse. For yourself, not for your family.

In modern Japan, everything was left to the machine, so I could do all the cleaning, washing and cooking, but it was useless here.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was that hard. Why can’t I use such a poor body when I can be a one year old Turi?

If you reincarnate anyway, you should have a stronger body. At least, it ’s just not going to be a footstep.

“Haha, Mine. Did you care about that because you weren’t useful?”

“… I care about it”

“Well, but … I don’t expect Mine from my father.”

“Huh?”

That? Isn’t it said that something terribly terrible with a smile?

Although I didn’t think that I was an expected person, it was unexpected that my idiot’s father told me “I didn’t expect it”.

My father started to bleed my eyes for some reason while tapping my stunning head with a pompom.

“When you die, it may not be good if you fall down this time. Since I thought so, it’s enough to just get better now.”

Turi gave up his father’s words.

“I think my dad says, but you can’t hire Mine anywhere like this, because Mine can’t do anything”

My father shook his head in the words of Turi.

“No, I can hire at the gate”

“What? What can Mine do?”

Turi and my mother tilt their heads strangely, but I don’t understand why they do it.

Have you ever talked about what you are doing at the gate, but you didn’t hear it? Or did you not think it was true?

“What work is paperwork? If I go to the gate, I’m helping Otto for the time being … I’ve been teaching more than half of it.”

“Yeah? Did you always go to the gate just to take a break?”

“Mine wasn’t telling Captain!”

Turi, why are you so surprised? And mother, terrible.

My heart hurts because of their honesty.

“Mine has a particularly high reputation for computational work. If you don’t want Mine, you can work at the gate after the baptismal ceremony. Mine wants to work with her dad?”

“Eh? No, because I will be a” bookstore “or a” librarian “”

In my future schedule, there is unfortunately no item of going to work with my father to do the gatekeeper paperwork.

However, the bookstores and librarians that I have never seen here seemed to have failed, and everyone was leaning.

“… Oh, Mine. What is that?”

“The person who sells the book … So the merchant? Well, the merchant isn’t the kind of person, but I’m working on the book”

“Well, I’m not sure if I could do what I wanted to do. For the time being, I could do it. I couldn’t walk to the forest half a year ago. I didn’t like going outside. I can go home and come home. ”

“… Yes”

Today, I was told that I would do my best to pick up the kite, and Turi left the house with the kite together.

As my family says, I can walk up to the forest, but when I arrive, I can’t move without a break, and I’ll fall asleep the next day if I don’t move very carefully.

I hate this body that is too weak.

When I got to the forest and I was breathing, I started picking up firewood. I just look for it and pick it up, but Turi sees the branch and cuts with a blade like a spear. Concon, span! What!

“Turi is amazing”

I feel the goodness of Turi again.

“I have to do everything from where I can”

When I picked up a branch, I started to breathe.

Sitting on the stone and taking a break, take out the knife to quickly make a wooden simple.

“Uh, quite heavy”

sighing a dull knife, I exhaled.

The blade has not been handled at all. Even in Japan, I used knives and used cutters in my daily life.

However, there is almost no experience cutting wood.

Speaking of which, when I was in elementary school, I had a problem of sharpening a pencil with a sword. I have regretted now that I haven’t been able to touch the pencil, saying that I should just use a pencil sharpener.

Although it is dangerous to me, I can’t use a knife to make a wooden letter!

I can’t handle a knife like this, even though I only have a sharp shaved pencil. Can you really make a tree simple?

For the sake of trial, I tried to sharpen a thin branch among the branches I picked up.

小 さ い I had a hard time because it was a small hand with no power, but the bark peeled off and I could see the color inside.

Oh, I have a hard time, but how pretty!

It’s a practice for knives, you can also do wood simple, two birds with one stone.

I cut the wood that I picked up with excitement using a knife. I started making a lot of strips of wood that were cut to the same length. If you tie it with a string, it will be a fine tree. It will be a substitute for note paper.

Thank you for the great wisdom of ancient China and its ancestors.

Thank you, Dad, Mom, and a nice knife. Thanks to you, you can make a wooden letter.

Since it is only necessary to pick up a branch and cut it, the labor is not so much compared to a papyrus knitted with chopped fibers and clay plates digging out of the soil.

This is good.

shave the wood at hand slightly and make the writing surface as flat as possible. If you have the power and skill to be able to sharpen with a spawn, you can do it without any effort.

steadily sharpen and increase the number of trees one after another. The number is important because my hand can only cut thin branches and write only one line per tree letter.

“Mine, what did you start this time instead of the clay board?”

Lutz, who seems to have finished collecting candy, peeked into my hand and asked me.

I tilt my head to an unexpected question.

“… Eh? Why did you find this instead of a clay board?”

“Because Mine looks so happy?”

“Huh? Do you look fun?”

“I still have a cheeky face on the tree. Did you be enamored of seeing clay even when you were on a clay board?”

Eh? Are you still shaving a giant clam tree with a chewy face? Isn’t that strange?

…… Uhi! Unconsciousness is the worst! Embarrassing!

When I was singing in my heart only because of the embarrassment of an unexpected point, Lutz scrutinizedly observes the shaved wood I had shaved.

“So what are you making?”

“… I’m making” Kaku “”

“Moccan? Would you like to write this next time?”

“Yes, so there are so many. I can’t make something as big as a board with my power”

I hold the knife again and begin to cut the branches.

Lutz sat next to him and picked up a slightly thicker branch.

“I’ll help you. Instead … let me see Otto-san, whom Mine said before?”

“Why?”

“I want to listen to the story of a travel merchant …”

I’ve seen before that Lutz squeezes around his eyes and adds it with a small voice. At that time, Lutz would have said that he wanted to leave the city and go to various places in the future like a travel merchant and a bard.

Is it a profession that travel merchants and troubadours cannot give up so much in this world because they care about their eyes and cry out? I’m not sure.

It ’s better for Lutz to have Otto’s opinion than my unfamiliar opinion.

“I’m busy, but I’ll ask you once. I’m sorry if you refuse.”

“It’s okay”

Lutz, who exhaled as if relieved, looks like he has taken down his burden. I have been able to tell you that I had never been able to talk to anyone.

After that, with a few conversations, two people make Sekosekogi simple. Lutz still had something like a cocoon like Turi, and made some large wooden letters from thick branches.

I sharpen and sharpen the surface with a knife. The number of boards used to make the wood is increased, but both sides are white.

Can the ink used at the gate be separated or given away?

Since ink is basically used with paper, it is not sold to stores around it.

Speaking of which, ink is strictly stored with parchment. Perhaps not only paper but also ink is expensive.

If possible, let’s negotiate with Otto whether he can use his salary afterwards as ink instead of stone brush. By the way, let’s tell Lutz’s request.

Tomorrow is the gate.

On the day when Turi goes to work, I don’t have a glance, so I study at the gate. Recently, the number of words used in daily life has increased, so it is very fun.

Speaking of which, three soldier apprentices synchronized with Turi and others came in from today.

Otto who has to teach them letters and numbers is too busy. After finishing the education for newcomers and returning to the inn room, you have to clear up your normal work.

I was listening to an opportunity to talk while practicing the word and doing the requested calculations.

Talk to Otto as the opportunity to finish the paperwork or when Otto began to clean up the ink.

“Otto-san, I have a question, are you okay?”

“Okay?”

“How does a travel merchant become?”

“Huh ?? Mine, do you want to be a travel merchant ?? Wait a minute! Is it really me? Is killed by the team leader?”

大 き く Opened his eyes wide, making Otto lean on his desk and uttered a crazy voice.

My surprise is so surprising. Don’t panic, wave your hand and slam.

“No, my friend, not me”

“What, then tell me you should stop.”

“Are you sure?”

Otto’s concise reply confirmed that the traveling merchant is likely to be opposed.

“What do you mean after all?”

Otto squints in my reaction.

I opened my mouth thinking about how to explain it.

“Well, when I talked to him, he was obsessed with his eyes and hiding his voice, so I thought it would be a job against him if I wanted to be.”

“Well, my parents will eat big eyes”

“And the travel merchant is a life that travels all the time? What are you going to buy here and what are you going to wholesale? It may be different from the fundamentals, there will be a connection from the parents to the child, or a good customer, and the children in the city may want to be … ”

I think that a peasant’s child who has settled in the area longs for a nomad who moves around the land freely. It’s harder than expected to live and work while your basics of life are completely different and your common sense is not understood.

It’s normal to see what I did better or not, and I don’t know why it turns out. It seems correct to do nothing, but you can be blamed without doing anything.

Implicit rules that have been accumulated in daily life have no manual.

Suddenly I don’t know what to do in a different world, and I want to withdraw, knowing the thickness of the common sense wall.

Well, I can’t do anything if I don’t have a book to withdraw.

“… if you know that, tell me?”

“Hmm, I feel like I can hear more honestly than I told you to live in the city. And my father told me that Otto was a commercial person. There is some connection to the guild? ”Even though the travel merchant was impossible, I thought that if I became a merchant apprentice, I would be able to get out of town by buying it.”

I don’t think we’re going to go on a wandering journey, which is an unknown world for the family.

“Oh, I see. Is it that Mine-chan’s favorite is that you’re bothering to be clever?”

Niyanya and Otto’s mouth lifted. I gave up my shoulder lightly to the interesting face of sniffing love bana.

“Rusz is always indebted rather than a favorite, so it’s hard to pile up only if you don’t give back when you can return.”

“Is it true that Mine-chan is taking care of that blonde?”

Lutz, who is my pacemaker who is going to hang out on the way back from the forest, reports the day’s behavior to his father at the gate and receives money, so Otto may have seen it .

“Yes, but newcomer education has increased and Otto-san seems to be busy. If it is impossible …”

“This is the most idle season, so this season is fine. How about your next holiday?”

“Thank you, Otto!”

Even so, what is the amount of work at the time of accounting reporting & budgeting that I have asked for help that this season with so much miscellaneous work is my spare time? I don’t want to think about it because I’m already helped.

“Oh! I want to hear one more thing, can this ink be given away a little?”

“Is this ink?”

Otto, who broke his eyebrows, struck the ink bottle with the lid closed with his finger. I whisper as I watch the black liquid on the other side of the glass sway slightly.

“Salary, isn’t it possible to use ink instead of a brush?”

“Three years of work, no advance borrowing”

“Hey !?”

I couldn’t understand what was said, and I blinked unintentionally. I want you to be mistaken, but Otto starts counting something with serious eyes.

“If you become an apprentice from help, your salary will change, but now is your help, maybe three years including the special salary at the time of the budget?”

“Three years!? … high!”

My reaction, which I didn’t think was so high, Otto, mixed with a bitter smile, said, “This time I remember words for budget items.”

“You can only use it here for papers of aristocrats too? It’s a price that children’s toys cannot afford”

In other words, I can’t reach me at all. I understand.

…… Then, what should I write for Kikan?

Even if there is only a board, there is no point in writing it?
