Chapter 79

I am an apprentice of a shrine maiden from today.

It was said that it would take days to prepare a blue garment, so I would start an apprenticeship job almost a month later than Lutz, who finished the baptism ceremony together. I couldn’t help trying to get there early, so I couldn’t help feeling that it was a long time before I could go to the temple.

Even though I was waiting for a long time, I didn’t spend my spare time. I went to Corinna several times with Turi to teach me how to make hair ornaments, and there was a tasting party for Kattlekar. So I was accompanied by Benno, who was provoked by Ilze and went to visit the bread workshop, and I was also allowed to participate in the craftsman’s investigation. Eventually it moved too much and fell asleep and fell asleep.

Although I was very busy, it was a long time for me to leave the library, and it was a long time for me. But that wait is over today.

Finally, I can finally read the book! Is that also a book connected to that chain? Oh, I’m thrilled and excited just by thinking!

“Mine, Lutz came to pick me up”

When I was spinning around in the room, Turi came to call me, praising my shoulders as if amazed.

“Thank you, Turi. I’ll come”

“Mine, be careful not to get too excited!”

That is impossible!

I jumped out of the house, answering in my heart.

Since the temple is on the north side of the city, my favorite is the apprentice of the Gilberta Chamber of Finest Clothing I have. Until you get the blue uniform that is the temple uniform, you can keep it.

“Ufufun, Fufu-n …”

When I was skipping over a nasal song, my arms were pulled tightly by Lutz with my eyebrows.

“Mine floats a bit too much. I get hot before I get to the temple”

“Uh … it’s a problem”

I praised my legs that wanted to jump on my own, and restrained my feelings in a hurry to walk as fast as possible, praising the weak body that I couldn’t be happy with floating. Holding hands with Lutz, head slowly to the temple.

“Mine, are you all right?”

“Today I’m just fine because I’m just getting clothes and introducing a side-serving person”

My work day is basically the same as Lutz. It was the judgment of the family and Benno that Lutz should continue to look as before until the side servings in the temple can manage my physical condition.

I think it’s impossible for someone else to manage my physical condition at the Lutz level.

Maybe you want to keep Lutz in the future? The family, Benno, Marc, and Lutz are all very alert to the temple nobility.

However, relying on Lutz for a long time does not make sense for me to give up merchant apprenticeship to avoid luggage. If you complain to Benno! And Benno screamed and Marc laughed vaguely with a troubled face.

It seems that Lutz was instructed by Marc to open an Italian restaurant and open a paper mill in the town. It was explained that it would be a rather irregular curriculum because it was a liaison with me, the inventor.

From the beginning, I was allowed to participate in the launching of a new business, practiced more and more, and struck down the work details.

Isn’t it a newcomer training? However, I’m rushing into it, but the person himself is really overwhelmed by being able to go to other cities much earlier than planned.

If Lutz is happy, that’s fine.

Good luck, Lutz!

When I arrived at the temple, a gray priest was waiting at the gate. A man with a relatively solid physique looks at me, sits down and crosses his hands in front of the chest.

“Good morning, Maine. I will guide you to the priest.”

“Mine-sama ?? Pu, Ahaha … It doesn’t look good”

Lutz blows out with a polite gray priest’s attitude and compares me with the priest’s gray priest and laughs with a jerky smile.

When I noticed that the gray priest’s eyebrows moved unpleasantly, I hit Ruth laughing with his stomach and pushed it back towards Benno.

“Lutz, laugh too much!”

“Oh, bad, bad. Mine, if the bell of 4 rings today, wait for me to pick you up.”

“No, I understand”

After shaking my hand to Lutz and seeing off a little, I turned around towards the gray priest.

“I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable”

“… You don’t have to apologize to me.

A gray priest began to walk, turning away from me and being surprised at being denied an apology. The sound of knacks and shoes hits the white stone corridor. I walked behind the gray priest, swiftly walking, feeling no silence other than the sound of shoes.

As soon as I turned the corner of the corridor, I heard a sound other than shoes. Somehow raised his face and looked at the person who made the sound, I could see the gray maiden cleaning the corridor.

There were a number of gray shrine maidens who were not at the baptismal ceremony, but their appearance was not very beautiful. The atmosphere is completely different from the gray priest who walks in front of you, not just because you are cleaning or wearing dirty clothes, but the number of times you take a bath or your taste.

At the same time as seeing the priests of gray, the shrine maiden and apprentice who stopped cleaning stopped one by one and went down to the end of the corridor and lined up.

Is this perhaps a sign of respect?

It seems that this action was not performed against me because I was small and hidden behind a gray priest, and there was a shrine maiden who looked at me later.

witnessing that there is a class among the gray priests who have risen orphans, the anxiety that they have entered into a world with a completely different class will gradually spread.

Until now, I have never been involved with aristocrats in my life zone. I basically lived in a similar living environment, and even if I came to be with a great merchant, thanks to the value of the product, I was able to get a good deal of equality.

Am I okay? I don’t know what class society is, so it’s a terrible mistake.

Exceptional shoe sounds resonate in a quiet and luxurious corridor. I felt that I was stepping into an unimaginable world, including the Reino period.

“Principal brought me Mine”

“Mine-sama” who reaches his ears is not used to ears and does not feel like he is being called. Although it is a child, it is not great, but it is uncomfortable and uncomfortable to be called by an adult gray priest.

However, in this temple, you get blue clothing and are treated like a noble, so you can’t just say “please call me”. I can only get used to calling it.

“Excuse me”

When I entered the room of the priest while lightly bowing my head, there was a simple altar in front of me. You can see at a glance that this is a simplified version of a very large bed in the prayer room at the baptismal ceremony.

At the top of the three-tiered altar, there is a black cloak and a golden crown adorned with a stone statue on the front altar at the baptismal ceremony. , Shields and swords. You can see flowers and fruits, incense burners and bells on the bottom tier, and a blue garment carefully folded at the end.

A blue carpet was laid in front of the altar, reminding me of the baptismal prayer.

When I came to the Priest’s room before, there should have been no such altar. When I was searching for memory while stopped at the entrance of the room, the chief who stopped working was standing up and walking in front of the altar.

“Mine, here”

“Yes”

Walking a little faster, I stop before the chief. The chief priest looked down at me with orange-looking eyes that looked golden, sighed lightly, and showed the altar with a gaze.

“Because you have intimidated the temple head with magic. The temple head is afraid and hated.”

“… That ’s right, right?”

I was ridiculed with an arrogant attitude, and I was blown away, and my anger and irritation were refreshed to some extent with magical power thanks to the emotional explosion of mysterious power. However, I can understand that he was hated by the temple chief who received the intimidating power of the runaway magic.

Even just because I was scolded as a poor child …

“If you were originally, you made a vow to serve God and the temple in front of the shrine’s room altar, and you were given a garment, but the temple chief didn’t want to put you in the room, I made an altar. “

“… Thanks for the trouble”

Apparently they are hated. Isn’t it a very bad situation that the highest authority in the temple hates the irreparable state from the beginning?

When he felt a sudden obstacle in the future temple life, the chief shook his head loosely.

“It is better not to face the temple head as much as possible to avoid anointing the fire.”

“Yes”

Because the priest who knows the temple head better than me says so, it is better to refrain from contact now.

“Let’s do a vow ritual”

“Thank you very much”

The priest took the incense burner, grabbed the chain on the incense burner, and swung it slowly like a pendulum. Along with the movement, the incense that is sown dances and dances, and the smell of calming incense spreads throughout the room.

And the explanation of the ritual on the altar resonates carefully with the low voice of the priest.

The black cloak at the top means the night sky and is a symbol of the god of darkness. The crown of gold means the sun and is a symbol of the goddess of light. Because this couple god is the supreme god governing the sky, it is displayed at the top.

The cane in the middle step is a symbol of the goddess of water that sheds snow and ice, the spear is a symbol of the god of fire that encourages long and high growth, the shield is a symbol of the goddess of the wind that prevents the arrival of cold winter, The symbol of the earth goddess that accepts everything, the sword seems to be the symbol of the god of life that cuts into hard earth.

The lower row is an offering to God. It is said that plants that symbolize breath, fruit that celebrates fruit, incense that shows peace, and cloth that expresses faith.

“Spring noble color is green. The color of young life that sprout beyond the harsh winter. The noble color of summer is blue. The color of the high sky to aim for life that grows large and high. The noble color of autumn is yellow. Rich. The color of the wheat dripping with fruit, the noble color of winter, red. The color of the furnace that softens the coldness and gives hope. “

The precious color in the temple seems to change from season to season. The cloth and carpet that decorates the altar, and the color of the ornaments worn by the priests and the priestess from the blue garment, are said to be in accordance with the season.

“The words of oaths”

The priest said, whispering on the carpet, raising his left knee. Then, cross your hands in front of your chest and hang your neck.

When I took the same position next to the chief priest, the priest confirmed that he was ready and opened his mouth.

“Let me repeat”

“Yes”

I was staring at the head of the priest, as I was tense not to make a mistake. The chief’s thin lips are moved slowly so that they are easy to understand, and the words of the oath flow.

“The high god governing the sky as a high-ranked bower is the god of darkness and light”

“The five pillars of the great god governing the great land of the world”

“The goddess of water, Fruitrene”

“God of fire, Leidenshaft”

“The goddess of the wind Szceria”

“Soil Goddess Gedrulich”

“God of life Evilive”

“Let the power of the Supreme God shine in the earth, which is more widespread than the sky, which is a high bower”

“With the power of the great god of the five pillars, we will produce and supply all things in the land that is widespread”

“Retribute to the benefits of that precious divine power”

“Correct your heart, prepare your heart, fix your heart, and worship and believe that you are the righteous and infinite God”

“Both Gods of Nature”

“I just pray, thank you, and pledge to devote”

When I recite it and looked up at the priest, the priest spoke lightly, saying that it was OK, and looked at the gray priest at the wall. The gray priest, who was closest to the altar, moved without making noise, picked up the blue garment that was folded at the end of the altar, and handed it to the chief priest.

“Blue is the precious color of the god of fire that encourages and helps to grow, and the color of the sky as a high bower under the supervision of the Supreme God. Give this to]

I was given a blue robe and was dressed by an apprentice maiden at the wall. The blue garment was a simple thing to wear from the top and fasten the waist with a belt. The items worn underneath will be adjusted appropriately according to the season, and during the ceremonies, various decorations will be attached to the gods.

“Mine, a devout apostle who has been deceived by the guidance of God. We welcome you.”

The head of the priest crossed both hands in front of the chest while sitting down lightly. I also imitate and cross my hands.

“I am delighted to welcome you.”

“Please pray”

“Huh?”

Too sudden, I didn’t know what was being requested. When I tilted my head with both hands crossed, the priest chiseled my eyebrows a little as if I was amazed by the bad feeling.

“Did you teach me at the baptismal ceremony? Please pray to God.”

Is that or Gucocopose?

That’s right. To enter the temple is to do it on a daily basis.

… I’m okay, my abs.

The baptism ceremony that retired after my abdominal muscles collapsed tried to come back to my mind. After shaking my head, I tightened my stomach to avoid laughing.

I give my prayers while feeling the piercing glance of the chief priest who said that she really didn’t remember.

“Or, pray to God! …?”

Surprisingly, it is difficult to keep the state of crispness. A sense of balance and muscle strength to support one’s weight with one foot are essential. I couldn’t take beautiful poses like the priests of the baptismal ceremony, and wandered around.

“Mine! That prayer is no good. You will attend a prayer ceremony that you will have to pray in front of others. What should I do if the shrine maiden can’t pray?” Keep it. ”

“Wow … I will do my best sincerely”

The priest sighed and shook his head loosely, and then looked at the gray priests along the wall.

“Introducing the gray priest and apprentice who will serve you. Arnaud”

A gray priest called Arnaud gave instructions and three priests and an apprentice came out in front of the altar while standing in the corner of the room. There was one adult male gray priest, and one boy and girl of the same age.

It seems that the priest who led me to this room was my side serving.

It is a relatively solid body and is about the height of a father. I had dark brown eyes on my mauve hair.

It was the same when I was guided to this point, but it seems to be quiet and has a hard expression. There is an atmosphere that is a little inaccessible because the mouth is tied.

“Fran, 17 years old. Nice to meet you”

“Thank you very much”

I intended to give a polite greeting, but the rebuke from the priest was gone.

“Mine. You are wearing a blue garment. You don’t hang out with the gray priest.”

“Sorry, I’m sorry. Be careful.”

I don’t know the class society. What is good to do and what is bad to do cannot be measured by conventional common sense. It seems that you have to learn common sense by groping like when you started your life as a mine.

側 Before me who was driven by anxiety, there was a side service that seemed to be anxious.

Nutrition is poor or it is not so different from Lutz, but it has a poor eye feel and is thin. It is black at first glance for a thin blonde, but if you look closely, you have purple eyes. It is the first impression of feeling like a quick ugly kid.

Wow, I’m not good at it.

I was reading books indoors during the Reino period, and now I often fall asleep because of my poor physical condition. Rough … No, naughty, active, bad boys are basically unwilling to approach.

When I looked at the boy, thinking that I wouldn’t get along, I opened my mouth, looking up and looking down at me, in a manner that the boy was also appreciative.

“I’m Gil. I’m 10 years old. Are you my Lord? Worst.

“Huh?”

That? Is it possible to serve this side?

When I was surprised that my eyes seemed to be stupid around me and my mouth was very bad, and I made my mouth crawl, I was once again struck by the chief priest. To me, not to Gil.

“Mine, Gill is your side. You have to give up when you take a bad attitude.”

“Eh? I am?”

“Who will do without you?”

I was told, of course, but how do you give up? I don’t think it’s a type that you can hear even if you say in words.

“Would you improve your language a little more?”

“Huh! Isn’t that stupid !?”

… Can I ask for a change?

¡The priest is waving as if he said no treatment, but I think this is clearly a mistake in the selection. The moment I thought it was harassing, I fell to the end.

This is definitely harassment. I don’t think Gill will be working on the side. It would be to say that it would be troubled against me of ordinary people.

When I was convinced, it became ridiculous to treat me carefully. It should be the same response as the naughty boys in the class. Basic through.

When I lightly raised my hand and blocked Gill’s words, I looked at the only girl lined up as a side serving.

Light blue eyes on crimson hair. She has a face that seems to be victorious, but a beautiful face. It is not cute and has a beautiful feature.

‘I think it ’s a girl who understands her appearance and knows that she ’s a man. Women just sniff that kind of place.

“I’m Delia, 8 years old. Let’s get along well.”

Delia ’s eyes are not laughing at all, even though she says she ’ll get along. Apparently it seems that it has entered an attacking posture, looking at the atmosphere that seems to be a friend.

Still, Delia, who has a smile at first glance, may not be a problem for the priest. There was no reprimand.

¡No friendly atmosphere on any side, no feeling of being able to do well. I feel tired just being on the side.

“That’s the priest, I haven’t had any side service so far, so I don’t …”

“No, it’s obligatory for the blue priests to have side service. They are side services chosen by the temple head and me. You don’t have to do anything appropriate for them as long as you wear blue clothing.” It must not be “

“… Is that so. I understand”

Don’t say I don’t need it?

And I don’t have the right to choose?

The shrine maiden apprentice and it seems to be frustrated from the first day of making a vow.
