Chapter 91

It has been several days since Delia started the side-serving job. Every day, except for the Saturday days when my mother and Turi are resting, I went to the temple.

The goods I ordered through Benno arrived, I had to write the recipe on a wooden bill to teach the chef a new recipe, and I wanted a little time to read the book.

Over the next few days, the division of work between the side services has been decided.

Delia takes care of my patrol and cleaning the second floor, including baths, toilets, and laundry of expensive costumes. Recently, she seems to learn how to make tea from francs, and Delia has started preparing tea.

Gil is cleaning the ground floor and the outside, and the chef’s watch is his main job, while the words and courtesy are being driven into the franc.

When I talked about Lutz practicing letters during the winter and practicing calculations, I burned up and said, “I’ll do it too!” There seems to be a lot of things to remember.

By the way, Fran is all other work, including confirmation of their work. Fran’s job is to read the recipes by the chef and to check the stock so that they are not embezzled or brought out.

In the morning, I went to the priest’s room and worked on paperwork. After carrying the rest of the lunch to the orphanage, I explained the menu and checked the ingredients from the afternoon to the chef. Go to the library with me. My physical condition management, the response to Benno’s preaching, the education of two apprentices, and the education of me who have no knowledge as an aristocrat are all left to Fran.

Worried about overworked francs and asked, “Isn’t there too much work?” He said, “It’s easy because it won’t be called suddenly at midnight.” The franc is too good. Thanks to the franc, confidence, and salary are climbing eel, and I thank the priest who gave me a franc to follow me to a level where I can’t sleep.

I was coming to the temple even though it was originally a day off. In the room that I thought was a storeroom on the second floor, a marble bath, which is said to be popular among recent aristocrats, was installed, so I had to pay for it.

To be honest, it seems to be difficult to carry hot water, and I wash it at home, and there is no need for a bath in this room. However, when I said, “Are you enough?” Dear angered, “What are you talking about ?! Even the side of the temple head is taking a more decent bath!”

Delia wanted to use the bath that had just been installed, and when she said “Please,” she was angry with “You can’t use it without the Lord! For the blue priestess, both water and niece can be used, but for the gray priestess, only water should be used.

“Then, can you get me ready?”

Since I had to bring hot water from the kitchen, preparation seems to be very difficult, but Delia who was always angry was moving happily, so I decided to let him do it.

Delia washed me with Linshan, dressed, wiped her hair, and after checking the gloss of her hair with an enchanted face, she said, “I will use the remaining hot water.” I took a bath. Perhaps, I think I’m putting my efforts into polishing myself.

“Mine, be careful not to trust Delia too much. You are still connected to the temple head.”

While Delia was taking a bath, Fran who brought me a drink gave me such advice with an unpleasant face. I laugh a little laughing at the frantic situation.

“I know. Delia said in good spirits that she had spoken with the side service of the temple chief.”

Delia was proud of her breasts, saying that I wouldn’t be able to cut me off. However, it doesn’t return to the head of the temple, but the base of life seems to move here. The reason is to get a lot of information from me, and because the work is easy and the treatment is good.

It seems that there are two gray priests and three gray priests in the room of the temple head. And there are three side serving apprentices including Delia. In the room of the temple head, you must take care of six people, including the temple head, with three apprentices.

However, if you are here, you are basically the only person you care for. Moreover, I attend and have less care work than other blue priests. In addition, Franc, who can use apprentices, is wary of Deria, so unlike the temple head gray priest, he is extremely rare.

For that reason, Delia who has not given up on her way to mistress seems to be able to polish herself to the fullest. Rather than serving someone as a side service, he said that he wanted to be someone who used it. Aside from the direction, I think he is an effort.

“While Delia communicates with the temple chief, if I do my job seriously, I’ll do it. If I only care about the information I give to Delia … I just have to hide it. I don’t really know what the information that should be. “

“Mine-sama, then I’m out of the tube”

franc sighed and told not to talk much about family and Lutz. Because it is the weakest point for me.

When Delia got out of the bath, it was lunch.

Today’s lunch is a fluffy roll bread, vegetables and bacon consommé soup, and a bird herb grilled. Gil and Delia are serving alternately, and non-servants are supposed to eat lunch at the same time as me.

franc is out of service because he has to go to the orphanage to deliver the grace of the gods after lunch or to go to my library from the afternoon.

“Now, Maine. I will bring the grace of God to the orphanage.”

“Yes, please”

The wagon prepared outside is still covered with warm soup, bread and herb roast. Delia and Gill are still not enough to push heavy wagons to the orphanage, so it is generally a franc job.

“That? Has the franc already gone?”

After Franc went, Gil came out of the kitchen with a bowl of bread. Look at the wagon outside the door and drop your eyes on the bag you own.

“What did you do, Gil?”

“Delia couldn’t eat so much! Moh! I thought it would be in time now. I thought I could leave it for dinner, but the chef left it in the afternoon. He told me to bake my bread … “

“Is there less God’s grace now? I wonder if I should bring it with me.”

“I do”

Gill laughed and held his bag. Even if there are four rolls, you should be pleased.

“Hey Gil. Would you like to go with me? What I have never seen in an orphanage”

“Now I’ll guide you. I know the shortcut. Over here.”

Gill led me to an orphanage.

Even though the entrance is different, the orphanage is near, so it shouldn’t be strange to see the children, but I haven’t seen the children in the orphanage yet.

Employees of years like Delia and Gill who have already finished the baptism and are apprentices are cleaning corridors and prayer rooms, doing laundry near the wells, I see the huts taking care of them, but I haven’t seen the orphans before the baptism.

“That’s true, I’m leaving here and going around the corridor. You can’t go through the stairs in the wagon? But I’m closer to this.

Gill turns to the gate, telling him a little, so that he can reveal a secret. It is just right for me who has no physical strength to make a shortcut.

Rotating around the building and going down the large and large stairs in front of the prayer room, the white stone stairs looked more dazzling in the early summer sun. I only walked outside during the cool morning and evening hours, but it was like summer heat outside noon.

“The orphanage meals are eaten in the girls ‘wing. The girls’ wing has a pre-baptized child and a gray priest who is not serving, and apprenticeship. Isn’t it easier for a man who works here and there to go to the girls wing than to move a woman with a little bit? ”

“Hey”

Listening to the story of the orphanage from Gill, descending the stairs and heading towards the girls wing, the orphanage’s back door was hidden beside the stairs. A spear is attached to the outside, and it looks as if you are not wary of intruders from the outside, but try to keep the inside out.

“Most guys don’t know that this will open. From there, they will only see part of the wall and will not be opened.”

“Why does Gil know?”

“When I was little, I had only opened it in the middle of the night. Someone invited me and a gray shrine maiden ran away. From that time on, I really wanted to go outside and thought someone would come to pick me up. “

Gill lays down the bread jar once and removes the jar while saying squinting with nostalgia. And if the hinge was rusted, it was pulled open with the whole weight on the stationary door.

The next moment, an unpleasant odor began to flow with hot air, and I pressed my nose unintentionally. Gill whispered and pressed the nose in the same way. Even though I was used to the smell of the city, it was an unpleasant odor.

The inside was clearly visible by opening the door.

In the urine-smelling urine that smells stuffy, many undressed infants lie on their faces without life. It seemed to be a closed room, and it was dim to say that it was a sunny early summer day.

“… the grace of God?”

If you noticed the smell of bread, suddenly flashed your eyes with a drowning voice, and an infant with a black thing stuck out here.

I was surprised before I felt sorry for the stubborn approach of a toddler like a hungry African refugee child who I had only seen in photographs and videos. I feel a fear of nothing, I can’t move on the spot, and my teeth sing.

“… No, no”

§ Closed the door and put a spear as if Gill was angry that he had returned to my voice.

“ Don’t try to get out, the sound of hitting the door with a don, but it was a way of hitting with little power. There is no power to break through the door.

The relief that escaped from fear and the disgust that the scene that I couldn’t believe in an orphanage was mixed together, my head turned white and my consciousness was broken at the same time, my body was on the spot Collapsed.

When I noticed, it was my room.

If you move your hand slightly, thinking that the bottom is hard, there is no futon stuffed with cotton like a noble, nor quilt stuffed at home. I was found to be laid on the bed.

If you move your neck and line of sight a little, you can sit on the chair on the side of the bed, hold your knees, and you can see a small gill.

“… Gill?”

“Did you notice? Good, I’m sorry, I …”

Delia’s voice reverberated from the other side of Gill sooner than Gill, who looked into her face with a crying face.

“Wow! It’s stupid to take Mine to the back door through the girls’ wing!”

“It can’t be helped! I didn’t know that it was supposed to be!”

I was pulled by the word “Annakoto” from Gill’s mouth, and what I saw at the orphanage came up one after another.

Hungry kid who is not closed in a closed room, covered with manure, and worn out. It ’s not an environment that nurtures people. Livestock huts are better for the good ventilation.

At the same time as I remembered, goose bumps stood all over my body, and sour things came up from the back of my body. If you wake up and wake up on the spot, you will swallow and endure.

When I suddenly got up and pressed my mouth, Fran appeared as if to push the gill down.

“Sorry, Maine, I apologize for showing you something unsightly. Please forget it.”

I turn my eyes to Gill while feeling uncomfortable with the fact that Fran said it was hard to see the misery of the orphanage.

“Is that an orphanage? It’s very different from Gil’s story”

“After the baptism ceremony was over, I moved to the men’s building, so the only girl’s building now knows the cafeteria … Mine saw the pre-baptism guys, It was n’t like that when I was. ”

Talked, Delia rubbed the gill so gently that he said, “Hung”.

“The blue priests are gone and the gray priests are gone. As soon as no one takes care of the little children, the little ones are dying. I was waiting for the baptismal ceremony to come …. I know it was a year ago, so it’s worse now. I don’t want to think. “

Delia whispered and trembled a little.

Since Gil was ten years old, it seemed he was better three years before Gil celebrated his baptism. Delia was just eight years old, and she seemed terrible when she was baptized. According to the information I heard from Delia’s heavy mouth, there was no woman taking care of it for about a year and a half, and meals were carried twice a day, leaving them unattended. It seems.

“I was taken out on the day of the baptismal ceremony, and the gray priest who was unsightly to come out in front of the blue priest was sorely hurt all over her body. He was taken to the temple head shortly after the baptism ceremony, and was told that he would be a beautiful woman.There were three children who were brought together. I was n’t chosen, so I returned to the orphanage. ”

«I became concerned about the obsession with Delia’s cuteness and the reason why he stubbornly avoided orphanages.

“Mine-sama, help them out. I’ll ask”

“Stop, Gil. Don’t get involved, Mine”

franc cuts off Gil’s request with a severe face. I didn’t want to get involved with Fran from an orphanage, though I felt uncomfortable just remembering that scene and didn’t want to get involved too much.

“Why is it?”

“Too dangerous”

franc said once again to Gil who spoke for my heart.

“Mine-sama tends to take great care of what she puts in herself. Like trying to protect her family even by applying magic to the temple chief. If Mine-sama is deeply involved in an orphanage, Once you have the orphanage inside, you may be at odds with the blue priest to protect the orphans. I think you should reduce the possibility of releasing unconscious magic as much as possible. ” 19459002]

Gill’s begging for help and Fran opposed to me, somehow wants Delia’s opinion and looks at me.

“… If I can help, I’d like to help. But I don’t want to be involved and I don’t want to remember”

Delia says with a hard expression and turns away.

distorted his face as if Gill was hurt because there was no friend who wanted to help orphans. As he clings his teeth and stares at me with his swaying eyes, Gill slowly stands with one knee on the spot, crosses his hands in front of the chest, and lays his eyes down.

“Mine, please, please help them out”

に I tied my lips to Gil’s sincere appeal.

There is a desire to help me if it can help me. For example, if someone specifically tells you to do this and that is within the scope of what you can do, you can do as much as you can.

However, if you are told that you can do it all the time, or that you can do it without someone’s advice, you can only get lost.

In the Reno period, even though it was about fundraising, volunteer activities were only limited to school, and there was nothing interesting other than reading books.

And since I became mine, I was always taken care of and helped by weakness and sickness. I always give advice if I can do something with my knowledge, but in fact it is the other person who moves the body. I don’t think I can do anything.

“Now, I’m happy to work because Mine-sama gives me, and I’m happy that my salary will increase if I do my best. But they are like that … “

“I’m sorry, Gil. There’s very little I can do. I’m a blue nobleman who is not an aristocrat, and I think I can’t neglect what Fran said.”

Gill raised his face with a hurt face.

I am a commoner who originally wanted to read a book and just won the right in exchange for magic and money. Without knowing anything, I can’t easily promise to help orphans and I can’t take responsibility for taking care of them all the time.

“But at least ask the priest. If there are more gray priests, ask them to take care of them or give them a little more budget. I ask the priest to improve the situation in the hospital. “

“Thank you, Mine”

If you are a priest who is in charge of business, if you ask about the current situation, you will increase your budget, search for people who can take care of small children, and do something.

Fran shook his eyebrows as he shook his eyebrows at me, finding a place to consult and breathing a relief.

“Mine, you don’t need to be involved”

“… I just ask the priest. Can you arrange it so that I can talk to the priest?”

If you ask the priest and say that it’s not good, there is nothing I can do, and if I get advice to do this, I can do it. At least it should be a better result than worrying about what you can do.

Replying to a frantic franchise, I decided to have time to talk to the priest.

When the bell of 5 rings, the visit permission is granted, and I head to the priest’s room with Franc. The priest who seemed to have heard from Fran saw my face and said clearly.

“I reject your request. There is no reason to improve”

“Huh?”
