Chapter 65

The morning of the baptism is busy, mainly my mother.

¡After breakfast, clean up, parents change into Ichibara, so they get angry and hurry when they are oversleeping or having breakfast in the first place.

I finished breakfast while I was about to get stuck in my throat, and while my mother was tidying up, Turi and her two changed their clothes in the bedroom.

The costumes, which were being touched little by little by my mother and Turi, are no longer just picking up the surplus parts. Using the floret making cultivated in winter handicrafts, florets are decorated here and there, and there are too many decorations.

If Benno didn’t give me the extra thread from winter handicrafts, he wouldn’t have had enough time.

I wore a fluttering dress like a T-shirt, then wrapped a blue sash around the waist and tightly tied it with a ribbon. The tip of the sash is swaying around the shin.

“Mine, did you double?”

Turi shouted his eyebrows.

I once solved the sash and wrapped it around the stomach twice. However, although I managed to tie it in winter, it is a little short and I can’t tie it cleanly.

“Oh? Did you have too much breakfast? Was you hungry?”

“No, Mine has grown”

“Eh? I grew up?”

“Maybe. I made the skirt of the outfit to fit the bottom of my knee, but it’s about the middle of my knee. It’s a little bigger.”

It seems to have grown from winter to summer. As a normal child, it’s natural, but I’m a slow-growing eater, so I can hardly feel growth.

Unlike me, who was thrilled and moved, Turi was realistic. Looking at the edge of the blue sash, thinking about dressing.

“… In any case, the length is halfway.

“No, no, it’s a waste. You just have to see it as it is, you don’t need to cut it. You can double it.”

“It wasn’t possible”

“Don’t be hungry, double ribbons”

A blue sash is fastened into a double butterfly at the stomach. As with the kimono band, once you have tied it properly, turn the ribbon around your back and you’re done.

“How? Is it all right?”

“Cute! Great! How do you do?”

“Uh …”

When trying to explain, my mother entered the bedroom.

“When you’ve finished getting dressed, Mine should get her hair straightened. I’ll change my clothes too.”

“Yes, Turi, later”

rushed to the kitchen and straightened the hair. Since I did Linshan last night, the hair of the whole family was smooth. Unusually yesterday, my father was looking forward to being in the party, so I washed it.

When I asked why I suddenly felt like that, it was because of Otto who boasted of washing with Corinna. Apparently he wanted to become a rear charge.

“Mine, let me do it”

¡Turi came shining with his eyes when combing his hair with a comb. During the Turi baptismal ceremony, I tied my hair, so this time I want to do it.

“Mine is spinning around with hair ornaments, so I can’t do it, let me do it with a comb”

“Now, please”

When I hand the comb, Turi sings with a nose. It looks very good.

“Mine’s hair is straight and very beautiful. It smells good”

“Turi smells the same?”

“ Thanks to Turi who gave me, I am half-up as usual, taking care not to crush hair ornaments that shake swayingly. Even if you want to make an elaborate hairstyle, you can’t tie it up with a string, and you can’t do it.

“Good shot”

Even if there is a decoration, it’s always the same thing that I’m doing, so I immediately finish my hair.

簪 I felt that the heels were heavier than usual, and when I swung my head a little, I found that the florets were shaking. When it ’s a little fun and shakes her head, Turi rejoices by clapping her hands.

“Wow, it’s cute! It looks great on Mine’s hair color! It’s nice to sway every time I move”

“It looks very good, Mine”

“Where are you really? Mine is the cutest at today’s baptism”

Parents who have finished changing clothes also come out of the bedroom and give up their sunny appearance. I’m happy when I give up like this, but I’m a little shy.

“Dad, I was telling you during Turi”

“Obviously, my daughter is the cutest”

Saying so, my father catches me with one arm at a time. My father and I caught up with Turi who tried to escape from his father’s arm in a noise.

“Cheer! Hair breaks!”

“Oh! That’s how much fun I’ll go outside”

dad has released his hand to his mother’s words, but it seems to have been late. My mother exhaled after seeing my hair short of breath.

“Mine, it must collapse once again”

“Summan”

laughing at my father’s apologizing and apologizing, I pull out his lance and insert it again. Although it is hair that cannot be made into an elaborate hairstyle, it does not have wrinkles, so even if it is a little disturbed, it can be quickly returned with a hand comb.

“Looks like it’s already gathering underneath”

Turi rushed to the front door and beckoned by opening the door. If you go down the stairs and go to the well square, you can see that many neighbors have already come out.

“There are Ralphs over there. Lutz is also Ralph’s fall.”

Looking at the direction that Turi points to, I saw Lutz wearing Ralf’s down suit and surrounded by many people. I haven’t seen Ralph’s baptism, so I didn’t know if it was going to fall.

Lutz’s sunny outfit is a white shirt, white trousers, and a light blue sash. Perhaps it is used from the top of Zasha’s baptism. Sash and embroidery were tailored to Zasha.

“Lutz”

“Well, Mine !? What’s that costume !? Not like a rich lady!”

Aunt Carla caught before going to Lutz. The attention of the surroundings is gathered in the loud voice of Aunt Carla.

“It’s the bottom of Turi”

“Is this a fall !?”

“Yes. The shoulders were slippery, so after putting them together, it was easy to sew with the shoulder straps, sew the fabric from the side, and lift the hem to a reasonable length. I’ll fix it. “

A simple explanation of how to fix will bring together his wife and his wife. I am considerably shorter than the average of the same age, so I am a little scared if I bend down from the top and be surrounded by many adults and look down. I grabbed my mother’s skirt unintentionally.

“Hey, I can’t see it in repair. It looks like a gorgeous outfit.”

“Which? Hmm, it’s possible because Turi and Mine are completely different in physique. That’s impossible.”

“Haha, if you think the sash is so gorgeous, it’s too long and doubled”

Talking about what you like in the conversation, a blessing of “congratulations” is entered between the conversations.

“You have a very fancy hair ornament. Is this expensive?”

When attention was paid to hair ornaments and their prices, my mother laughed and shook her head.

“We made it ourselves, so we didn’t have to pay for it. Since I fixed my clothes, I didn’t need the thread that I wanted to make this girl’s clothes”

“Is that right? My daughter says he wants me to buy it at the baptismal ceremony. Can you tell me how to make it?”

“There’s a thin, thin crochet to knit the thread. After that, it’s easy”

No way, I don’t think I was able to speak. All questions are directed to my mother. As my mother began to flood me with questions, I slowly moved away from the untold circle. It seems that the costumes and hair ornaments that have changed a bit have attracted attention.

OK, successful escape.

The moment I exhaled with relief, I was surrounded by curious girls in costumes and hair ornaments. Onee-chan who finished the baptismal ceremony before I can go to the forest, aside from Turi, I am a little older girl with few contacts.

“Cheer, really cute!”

“Show me, show me! Did Turi make this? Amazing!”

At the moment when Olde-chan, who seems to have an interaction with Turi, unwillingly grabbed her hair, her hair fell and her hair fell.

“Ah!”

“Oh, sorry, what should I do …”

If you break your set hair, Onee-chan will turn blue while holding the bag.

I put out my hand and smiled.

“Okay, I can fix it right away”

返 し I got my hair back and I straightened my hair. I scoop my hair, wrap it around the bag, twist it, and insert it.

“Eh? Eh? How did you do it now? Isn’t this just a decoration?”

“Ufufu, it’s a decoration, but I can tie it. Because my mine is amazing”

Turi responds with some breasts for some reason. After that, I was impressed with the double butterfly knots, picked up and down the costumes, and began to explain that Turi was good at it. I’m looking forward to it, but what I say and what I do is the same as my aunts.

I finally got out of the circle and exhaled. I don’t usually get surrounded by an unknown face, so I feel tired.

Looking for a place where I could take a break, I headed to Lutz.

“Lutz”

“Oh, Mine. I finally got away from my mother …”

Lutz turned around and suddenly took a breath and hardened.

“What? What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing. That …”

“What’s wrong with that outfit? It’s very different from the time of Turi”

Ralph came out to push Rutz away.

“Turi’s sunny clothes have been fixed … Hyaa! Zasha Onii-chan, take it down!”

“Mine, congratulations. You’re tiny and cute. Lutz is no longer cheeky and cute”

“Congratulations, Mine. Its fine clothes, it looks great! But you’re really cool. You don’t seem to participate in the baptismal ceremony”

“I’ve become a little bigger too. I don’t understand Siek’s grandfather!”

Although he should have gone to Lutz in search of healing, he was swung around by Lutz’s brothers. Lutz changed her blood phase and stopped her brothers.

“My big brothers are crazy! Mine’s complexion!”

“Hey, Maine. Well, baptism is coming !?”

ま ま Remove the power while holding it in Zasha. Next year, the adult Zasha will be almost as stable as an adult.

“I want to go home now”

“You can’t go yet”

Kalan Kalan … and the bell of the temple rang. It spreads out throughout the city, repeatedly obsessed. It is a sign of departure to the baptism ceremony.

Among the neighbors using the same well, only me and Lutz are going to the baptismal ceremony this time. I was surrounded by adults.

“Mine, depart! Go to the main street!”

When my father picked me up from Zasha’s arm, he began to head to the main street. It looks over the father’s shoulders that Lutz is chasing after him and the family and adults follow.

When facing the opposite boulevard, the children, their families, and onlookers came out one after another from the alley, just like the Turi baptism. I saw the end of the main street filled.

“Mine, are you okay?”

“What’s up?”

A cheering cheer comes closer from far away. Apparently, the procession is approaching.

“Please rest until you reach the temple”

“Yes, thank you, father.”

I am supposed to go up to the temple with my father holding me up. You can’t walk at the same speed as the procession, and if you fall into the procession, your baptism will be spoiled.

The family is going to follow the children in white costumes in a line, so the father seems to be aiming for the front row of parents at the end of the child. However, if Lutz comes together at that position, it is highly likely that it will be buried and invisible except for humans.

“Lutz may go before?”

“No, I’ll be together because I’ll look for it in the temple when I leave”

“Now, Lutz walks towards the edge? So you can see Benno’s shop”

“… I do so”

The procession passes through the eyes. I joined Lutz and the procession while being held by my father. Because the viewpoint is high, the surroundings are clearly visible, unlike the Turi baptismal ceremony that was buried in the procession.

People from both sides of the main street are celebrating by waving their hands and blowing whistling sounds. The windows of the building facing the main street are wide open, and the people of Suzuri greet the congratulatory words.

The children in the procession were looking back at the people along the roadside and the people scattered through the windows with a proud smile.

“Mine also looks back. Thanks, in return.”

“That’s right”

As my father pointed out, let go of one of the clinging hands and wave with a smile. The example that came to mind was the imperial people who responded to cheers with a gentle smile.

Yes, like that! Gracefully!

When I am determined, I don’t have a smile and gesture that can be done suddenly, but if a model is decided, try to imitate it as much as possible. Anyway, in this city, I’m never laughed at saying “Is it imitating the imperial family?”

I made a gentle smile as much as possible and shook hands slowly and elegantly.

Wow, you’re pointing at me and getting some attention! ?

I feel like I’m attracting attention as it stands out because of being held by my father. Everyone looks at the procession, so I’m not the only one who is paying attention.

“Mine, I ’m going to make my arms out because I ’m so lazy”

“Yes”

Change posture while waiting for the procession coming from another street in the central square.

Until I joined here, I saw it at the Baptist Baptismal Ceremony. After gathering at the central square, walk towards the temple in front of the wall.

The temple seen from the central square is a whitish stone building that is as tall as a castle wall higher than the outer wall. Although it is a large and impressive building, it was originally used as a part of a fort or a castle wall because of the positional relationship that thin long windows are lined up at a high position and it is built so as to protrude from the castle wall. I think that.

Well, but are we going to use a building like a soldier used for religion? Religious people should have come out for relief during the war, but if it is a religious facility used on a daily basis, it should be built with donations or money raised from believers.

The criteria I think are limited to knowledge in Japan, so it is not always correct. However, it is only fun to think about whether there is anything similar to the architectural style or appearance of the temple, a facility that has not been noticed until now.

Since we joined, we walked towards the temple. Around this time, the costumes of the people on the road and the children who join them have changed visibly. The fabric, which shows that it costs money, is basically white but has a lot of embroidery on the hem.

When I walked a little, I saw Benno’s shop. Famous faces are lined up in front of the store, surrounding the four of Benno, Marc, Otto and Corinna.

“Lutz, Benno and Marc are visible. Otto and Corinna are coming to the store to celebrate.”

“Are you serious?”

Unlike me, who can see the surroundings from the same line of sight as my father, Lutz is in the procession, so Benno’s shop still doesn’t seem to be visible.

When Lutz finally found Benno’s shop and started waving with a smile, the employee raised his voice as Marc lifted his hand.

“Lutz, Mine, Congratulations!”

Surprisingly, I was surprised, but I was glad that everyone congratulated me and Lutz shook hands. I feel so uplifted that there is no fragment left.

Otto smiled with a smile and embraced Corinna’s shoulder with his left hand and waved his right hand. Corinna also waved with a gentle smile.

“Let’s return to the temple and say thank you”

My father, who seems as happy as me, says that while rubbing the head of Lutz walking beside him. Of course, Me and Lutz sang.

“Hey, Mine. Husband, aren’t you amazed?”

“Does it look like Lutz?”

Among the employees waving their hands with a full smile, only Benno is looking at this while holding his temples and looking at his eyebrows.

Well, Mr. Benno, why do you have the same face as when you did something extra? I haven’t done anything today yet?

The temple has finally approached. In the distance, the details of the temple, which was a large white building, can be seen more and more clearly. The walls are lined with reliefs, and there are four stone statues on each side of the entrance. I cannot tell whether it is a statue of God here or just a decoration.

Passing in front of Frida’s house, catching the procession entering the temple at the edge of the field of vision. You can see the guild leader and his family on the main street. There were even Irze and Yutte.

“Congratulations, Mine!”

“Thank you”

] I ​​was happy that someone I knew was celebrating like this, and I called out loudly, waving my hand.

“Frieda!”

The guild leader hugged Frida to compete with his father. Frida, who had a surprised face, laughs and looks back.

“Mine, nice!”

Frida’s voice was heard small in the surrounding cheers.

The existence of a gatekeeper standing in front of several stairs entering the temple is visible. A simple armor is attached to the clothes based on blue. From the well-polished armor, which is well-polished and shining, and the beautiful blue costume with gloss, I found that they were also dressed for ceremonies.

Thick wooden gates, such as a large double door that is more than double the height of an adult, are also finely sculpted and crafted. After passing through the fully open gate, a white cobblestone plaza spread out sideways.

There is a large building of about 5 stories in front of it, and there are small 3 story buildings on both sides, all connected by a passageway. All the buildings were all made of the same white stone, and only the middle building was decorated with sculptures and reliefs.

“Now, parents are here. Lutz, bad, but ask for Mine”

“Ah, leave it to me”

Descended by my father, I joined my hand with Lutz and walked at the end of the procession towards the wide open door.

The children who were so excited and noisy screamed in the process of entering the temple, and the volume of the noise gradually decreased.

“Nah, Mine”

Lutz’s call resonated better than expected.

When I looked at Lutz and concealed my voice and asked “What?”, I brought my face to my ear as Lutz had a secret talk. When I looked forward and listened, Rutz screamed.

“The clothes and hair ornaments look great. I was surprised and cute.”

When everyone told me to give up, I could say “Thank you” with a normal smile, but just before I entered this temple, I was troubled by the reaction.

“Eh? Eh? What suddenly …”

When I looked up at Lutz unintentionally, Lutz had a really clean smile that seemed to have unraveled.

“I missed my brother and I decided to say it when I was not”

“Ah, is that so? Yeah, thank you”

While holding the bouncing heart with one hand, I enter the temple with my hands holding Lutz.

Since it was the tail, it seems that the exchange was completely visible in the square even if I could not hear the voice. Watching us as the adults in the square enter the temple with their hands together, I know that my father was seeing off with a snarling saying, “Oh, cute. It looks like a small wedding” Was after the baptismal ceremony.
