Chapter twenty five

Even if Lutz had a disgusting face, it was the correct answer, even if I washed my whole body and taught me how to interview, whether it was a takiyaki blade.

Otto and his friends are all dressed up to be in a fine category among those who travel around the central square. After all, we seemed to be better to wear even in sunny clothes.

Design is weird … No, clothes that are a little unfamiliar to me, but there are a lot of drapes that use a lot of cloth, so it is natural to save as much cloth and thread as possible without any dirt or splicing. It was rarely seen in my life.

I think that Otto’s friends are quite profitable, as seen from their clothes. The clothes, the hips, and the eyes are all different from the market merchants I have seen.

Even though I was a profitable merchant, I was not the president of a long-established store, but had the power to reach the president of a growing venture company. At first glance, it has a gentle appearance with light-colored eyelashes like milk tea, but its reddish brown eyes are confident and glaring, making it feel ferocious like a carnivorous beast It is.

“Hey, Mine. Are you sure you’re Lutz?”

“Good morning, Otto, my friend Lutz. Thank you for your time today”

I didn’t know how to say hello, so I hit my chest twice as usual and salute it. Otto returned the same, so I think it wasn’t a big mistake.

“Nice to meet you, Lutz. Nice to meet you”

Lutz seems to be nervous, but without losing the intimidation and the intimidation that looks down on them, he was able to give an unfamiliar greeting without being stuttered, without shaking his voice.

The first barrier is clear.

“Benno, my assistant, Mine, the daughter of the team leader. Mine, this is Benno. I was an acquaintance when I was a travel merchant.”

“Nice to meet you, thank you.”

There is no habit of lowering the head. Be careful not to lower your head here.

“This is polite. I’m Benno. Please don’t forget me … a small but well-dressed lady”

“Not as child as it looks, 6 years old”

Otto told Benno about me, who was probably 3-4 years old.

Benno raises the edge of his lips after looking a little bit over his eyebrows and looking at the otto.

“… Is the child before baptism still an assistant?”

“Oh, no, yes. I’m teaching reading and writing so that I can be an assistant.”

“If you say it, you’re already working as an assistant?”

“… Do not say anything extra”

The backs of the two people who read information from the ends of their words gets cold. Can I have an interview that will convince them with Lutz?

What is it? Even though I am a child before baptism, I feel that I will never give up forgiveness.

Benno opened his mouth looking staring slightly above the height of my line of sight.

“I want to ask you first because I’m really worried.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“What is the stick stuck in its head?”

I see. Isn’t it difficult to ask questions that you don’t love after being rejected or issued?

Do you feel tempted to fail?

ま ま With a friendly laugh, paying attention to Benno’s every move and staring to get as much information as possible, I removed the trap and gave it to Benno.

“This is” Aoi “. It’s meant to put your hair together.”

Whether Otto was worried or not, I studied Benge and Shigeki together. Look up and down, look up and down.

Is it just a stick? No seeds or devices?

“… It’s just a stick”

“Yeah, this is a stick made by my father, just shaved wood”

“Can I put my hair together with this alone?”

“Yes”

簪 Make the hairstyle as usual with the candy you returned.

Scoop out the hair you want to half-up, twist and wrap it around the heel, rotate it around, and insert it tightly and fix it. Because I do it every day, I’m used to it.

“Hoho … It’s amazing”

Because I showed the hair for the first time, Lutz and Otto looked at my hair with round eyes.

Benno touched my hair and broke my eyebrows.

“Nah, Miss. This hair is amazing. What are you wearing?”

Unlike the politeness of the fingers that touch my hair as if deciding on my hair, the light that is directed is sharp enough to hold my breath.

From the eyes of Benno, who finds value and glares, and the biting of the baptismal aunt, I saw that the simple Chan Rinshan has a good commercial value.

“It’s a fairly common combination, but the details are a secret”

“Does the shaved dress the same?”

“Yes, yesterday, Mine did it and put it on …”

Ah, Mr. Benno. Did you just lightly tongue now?

Did you look sweet because it might be easy for you to teach?

Sorry.

Even though the interview with Lutz has not yet begun, the hand that seems to be useful in such a prelude battle cannot be cut.

¡When I was playing with Benno, I smiled, and Otto sighed lightly and shook her hair.

“So did Lutz want to be a travel merchant?”

The main theme has come.

I heard Lutz sighed next to him.

“ I just need to convey my feelings of support, and I will sneak into Lutz’s hand and put my strength.

Did you think hard from yesterday?

Well, now is the time to stand. Arrange the motivation and win the pass!

“Oh yes, I …”

“Stop”

“Huh?”

Stopped before giving his motivation.

Listening to me because I’ve been thinking a lot, and screaming in my heart, Otto looked down at Lutz with a bite like a bitter bite.

“It’s an idiot to let go of citizenship”

“… Otto-san, what is citizenship?”

Suddenly, a question popped out of the mouth with a voice.

I heard such words for the first time. I understand that it is the rights of people living in this city because it is just citizenship.

However, as I enjoyed it without studying the rights guaranteed under the Constitution of Japan, what kind of right is the right that residents in this city seem to have for granted? Do not know.

“It’s a right to live in this city. At the same time it proves its identity. It was registered as a human being in the temple at the 7-year-old baptismal ceremony. “ Both people with and without citizenship will have different responses, so if a survivor wants to register at the temple, get citizenship, and settle in the city, it will cost ridiculous money. ”

“Did Otto pay, too?”

“Oh, that’s right”

Otto asked with a bitter face, remembering that time.

Benno pointed at Otto while laughing next to him.

“He devised all his wealth to marry Corinna”

“If possible, I wanted to have a store and do business here, but with my money, I just got the citizenship and was full”

I don’t know how much money the travel merchant had saved, but I feel that the citizenship, marriage funds, and opening funds are not enough.

“In addition, life in town and life in travel are completely different. Well, Lutz. Do you know what it means to spend most of your life on a carriage?”

“… No”

Furutto and Lutz shook their heads.

Walking through the city from end to end is only about two hours, so all the way to move the children in the city is basically on foot. Aside from a cart, Lutz, who has never even been in a carriage, can’t tell you about a carriage trip.

“For example, water. What do you do when you need it?”

“Pumping from the well”

“That’s right, but there isn’t a well during the trip. It begins by looking for water.”

“If the river …”

It seems that the river used when going to the forest immediately floated at the head of Lutz as a water basin.

However, it is not always possible to move on the river side when traveling. And how many travel merchants have a map when paper is expensive and not available?

“When I first went out as a travel merchant, I probably don’t know where the river is, Lutz. I don’t think it will move along the river all the time …”

“It’s exactly what Mine says, so we follow the same route and do business. As we get older, acquaintances increase, exchange information, and learn about the water fields and safe ways to use. Tell the kids, and the kids will follow the route, there is no room for others to live in the narrow carriage … and the most important thing is the end of the travel merchants. Do you know what the merchant wants? ”

“……”

“Citizenship”

“Eh ??”

“I want to stop living on a harsh trip and someday live in the city. I want to have a store in the city and do business safely. I want to save money. That is the dream of a travel merchant. You don’t have to be accepted by the travel merchant, you have to start by yourself if you really want to do it. There is no apprenticeship for travel merchants. ”

If citizenship is a travel merchant’s dream, Otto has already fulfilled his dream.

I really wanted to have a shop in this city, but I don’t know why the merchant became a soldier.

“Why did you want to become a soldier?”

“Wait, ask … Ngu!”

Otto slammed himself with the mouth of Benno who said something.

“To marry Corinna”

“I want to hear more!”

“I don’t want to hear you, Miss”

Benno stopped as if panicked, but Otto began to speak with his eyes shining.

“Yes, that was a short time since I was an adult. When I came to this city, I fell in love with Corinna. Anyway, I could only see Corinna, and if she got married, she was the only girl, so I immediately screamed. ”

“… Otto was unexpectedly passionate”

The ex-mer merchant who thinks about the black behind a refreshing meek smile seems to have been a passionate enthusiast.

From the appearance of dark brown hair and brown eyes, which looked sincere, I couldn’t imagine a passionate love.

“That’s how attractive Corinna was. Well, I attacked boldly, but I refused at first. She’s a well-known, well-known needle, and I want to cherish the territory when I work. I told you I can’t live my life. “

Ah, surely it is important to be a good customer, and I’ve earned enough to be satisfied to some extent that I have good skills, and I can’t abandon a stable life and make an unstable travel life.

And, from Corinna-san, isn’t the travel merchant who suddenly came to the persuasion quite a strange partner? I thought you might have been deceived.

While listening to the story, Otto’s love story accelerates and heats up. The voice began to get stronger and the gestures began to grow.

“When I was told by Corinna that marriage would be a man in this city, I was shocked to the extent that I thought the thunder had fallen. I can’t imagine Corinna marrying another man. After desperately thinking about what to do, I went to the temple with my feet and gained citizenship. “

“Huh, wait a moment. Isn’t your love running out of control?”

When I looked up Benno without knowing if Otto’s behavior was normal in this world, he was holding his temples with a tired expression.

“… I think so even for a young girl?” And the money that Otto invested in the city’s citizenship is going to go to the town where the parents gained citizenship and use it as the opening fund. What money was it? “

“Wow !?”

Benno says that if the city has a citizenship, you can get the citizenship at half the price, so the rest should have been used for opening the store.

It is not a high-value merchant, but a violent horse that only a partner in love can see.

“I want to have a store in this city, but it cost money and there wasn’t enough time for it to be flexible. At that time, Corinna decided to quit the merchant and stay in this city. The job that was shown to me was a soldier, so every time I came to this city, I asked the team leader who was close to me and hired me as a soldier who mainly worked on paperwork …. Corinna was surprised when he became a soldier and made a proposal. ”

No, you’re surprised. If I refused to be able to live on a trip, I wouldn’t be surprised when I heard that I had bought all citizens and bought citizenship and became a soldier.

I would like to hear the story from Corinna’s point of view, whether I thought I had to hold the reins properly, or that I thought so much about me. I can hear a completely different story from Otto.

“I’ve been persuading for days and got married with a feeling of being in Corinna. Saying that you can’t help but say that Corinna is so cute! So now …”

From there, I started to talk about how cute my bride was. Otto’s mouth doesn’t stop. Don’t use the first-class sales and presentation skills you have cultivated as a merchant.

Lutz is also overwhelmed by the boast of water on the standing board and is pocan.

Listening to it as a wife’s house that only his wife can see, but thought he was exaggerating. However, it seems that there was nothing exaggerated or anything.

I didn’t know that Otto was such a person.

When I looked at Benno for help, the moment I met my eyes, whether I was used to, I lightly shouldered and exhaled.

“Otto, it’s no longer a story of a traveling merchant.

“Kohon! Bad. That’s why travel merchants give up”

I wanted to put a tsukkomi for some reason, but I put up with it.

Despite considerable derailment, I knew well that there was no apprenticeship system for travel merchants, the hardship of becoming a travel merchant, the importance of citizenship we had, and the fear of falling in love .

Lutz, who was clearly told to give up, droops and is sadly depressed.

Even though I have been thinking about my motivation, I was told that it was impossible before I made a statement.

“… Lutz, this is a suggestion from Mine, but what if you become a merchant apprentice instead of a travel merchant?”

“Mine !?”

Lutz looked at me with his face up.

The green eyes that burn with anger tell eloquently, “Did you know you can’t be a merchant?”

“I thought it was better for Lutz to hear the story of the travel merchant. Can you listen more honestly than my words in the same city?”

“… Ah”

Lutz looks like a star, and turns out of sight.

“When I talked to Otto, I thought it would be difficult for a travel merchant, so I thought that if possible, I wouldn’t oppose my parents and have the opportunity to go out of town for work. And I didn’t know it before, but I think it’s better to stop being a merchant until you let go of citizenship. “

“… That’s right”

Listening to Otto’s story, there must have been something to think about. Listening to souvenir stories of people who came from outside should be completely different from listening to real life.

“Otto has a connection with a merchant in the city, so I heard from my dad that if I was motivated by Lutz, I would ask if I could introduce it.

“… So, I thought a lot.”

Huh, exhaled Lutz raised his face and looked up at Benno.

I also look up and stare at Benno. If you want to become a merchant apprentice, the opponent you have to overcome is not Otto, but Benno.

“So, I was introduced … Do you want to be a merchant?”

“Yes”

When Lutz whispered, Benno suddenly narrowed his reddish brown eyes.

Loose atmosphere like when I was listening to Otto’s pride, no more dust. Looking down on Lutz with a sly eye like a carnivorous animal that found the opponent to surrender.

“Huh. So what can you sell? What do you want to sell as a merchant?”

“Huh?”

It’s natural to ask about job motives for job interviews, but Lutz has been thinking yesterday for the reason why travel merchants wanted. Suddenly, if you are told to twist your motivation to apprentice a merchant, it is not so easy.

“I want to be a merchant and ask what I want to do”

“That is …”

Hi! It ’s a pressure interview with a child before baptism!

I would like to say that it doesn’t mean that, but for merchants, an increase in apprenticeship means a significant increase in expenses. With Otto’s assistant friend, there is no righteousness to be prepared for the loss.

If there is no good nature, motivation, information on products that are likely to sell, or anything that would benefit Benno, it would not be complaining even if it was cut immediately. Rather, it is a position that you must be grateful just for seeing you.

“If not, the story is over”

I understood that Lutz sang slightly in Benno’s words and bites his lips.

I don’t know if the words I’m going to say will be a helper ship or a step in the trouble that I don’t need. Choose Lutz.

I asked a small question with a voice that only Lutz could hear.

“… My paper, Rutz makes it?”

“Do it”

“Ah?”

Lutz lifted his face. My hands hold my hand tightly. Although his hands were shaking, Lutz lifted one eyebrows and struck Benno with a ferocious face.

“I have what I want to do! I make everything that Mine thought!”

“Yeah, you’ve been doing it all the time”

“I’ll do it because Mine will be messed up right away”

Lutz, you worked hard. I was right. Benno-san has rounded eyes.

I didn’t know if I was involved in Lutz or Lutz was involved in me, but if Lutz would give me something I couldn’t do, I would accept Good.

Unlike Lutz, I have experienced both entrance exams and job interviews.

I smile with a smile while looking up at Benno-san. He immediately breathed in, exhaled slowly, adjusted his breath and opened his mouth.

“We want to make and sell paper that is not animal skin. I think it will be a profitable sale because the production costs are cheaper than parchment.”

My face is like Benno biting a bitter worm. He uttered a much more intense light than he was aiming for Lutz, and made a low-pitched voice.

“… Is Miss you a merchant too?”

“Yes, I’m second hope”

When I smiled, Otto, who was next to Benno, leaned slowly.

“Is the first hope paperwork at the gate?”

“No, it’s a librarian”

‘Three people in my words are suspicious. After all, it seems that the words were not understood.

“… I have never heard of it”

“I want to manage books where there are a lot of books”

When explaining the work of the librarian, Benno started to laugh.

“But … haha, it’s a job that can only be done by a nobleman”

“… Is that so?”

Nobleman.

I thought that if the book was basically a noble, the librarian who manages it would also be a noble. As expected, it is still annoying.

“Even so, paper that is not parchment, hey … Is there any actual thing?”

A warning appears in the eyes of me. Perhaps in Benno’s head, the impact and profits when paper other than parchment comes out must be round and round.

“I don’t have it now”

“Do not talk”

Talking about not being talked about, there is no doubt that he is interested. I can take it to the drop-in place in another word.

I deepened my smile.

“If you have the actual thing, we will make it. Since our baptism ceremony is next summer, we will make a paper prototype by spring, so please judge whether it can be used.”

“… it would be nice”

I got a grace from Benno who was going to fail.

This will be a great victory.

“Thank you, Benno-san”

“It’s not yet decided”

“I still gave me the opportunity to challenge”

All that remains is Lutz. I will do my best because I have a job.

Suddenly falling down, I suddenly get stuck in a situation where I can get paper.

“Lutz, let’s do our best”

“Ah”

[Thank you to Otto who was laughing at our exchanges.]

Thanks to Otto, Lutz gave up the travel merchant and took the first step toward merchant apprenticeship. This was the best result I had ever thought of.

“Thank you for introducing Otto and Benno-san”

“It’s been a fun holiday. I’m looking forward to the next day”

“Yes”

Apparently Otto got a passing score.

ホ I was stroking my chest and noticed that Otto’s lines were prompting me to break up.

…… Oh, I forgot.

I stopped my feet and looked back, calling Otto and Benno trying to walk in the same way.

“Oh! I wanted to ask Mr. Otto and Mr. Benno”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“Did you realize that you have a sudden or small fever in your fever?”

Otto who was going here or there, or Benno who seems to be connected to various places, may know the heat in me.

“I feel like I can get eaten by the heat, or if I’m desperately trying to get away, it gets smaller. I’m subjective and sorry …”

“Well? Never heard of it”

otto shook his head loosely.

と If you move your eyes to Benno, you will lie down and swing your head slowly.

“… I don’t know”

If you don’t know them, I think that no one knows them in my area of life.

My illness seems to be quite unusual.

…… Maybe it’s a pretty sick disease?

The meeting was held with a sense of anxiety.
