Chapter 98

On the day of the star festival.

Although the sun is coming out, it is still early in the morning when the sun does not feel the summer heat. Already the city was crowded with the buzz of the festival and the enthusiasm of the movement of people, and despite the early hours before the opening, there was a flow of people going to the South Gate and East Gate.

“Mom, I’m coming!”

“Mine, be careful not to fool too much. Lutz, it’s always bad, but I’m asking for Mine”

I left home with Lutz who came to pick me up. Turi was leaving the house with him, but Turi seems to enjoy the festival with his friends. Run towards the gate with Ralph and Faye.

“Mine, let’s have fun today”

“Turi money”

After shaking hands to Turi and Ralph, I and Lutz headed to the temple to counter the flow of people. Today I wear everyday so that I can play in the water.

When people come from alleys here and there, they walk happily toward the gate with their eyes shining happily. Everyone seems to be getting wet, and no one is wearing a garment even though it is a festival.

Descending the waves of people, passing the main square and heading further north. By that time, there was little traffic. It seems that everyone who went to the forest at the same time as the gate had already gone to the gate.

“Mine is an answering machine at an orphanage”

“Why? Why?”

I was going to go to the forest with everyone and pick up the tau fruit. Lutz opens his mouth, distorting his face.

“If I took only Mine to the festival, I was going to pick up two or three tau in the forest and come back home. Instead of throwing it to the bride and groom, everyone went back to the orphanage. Then you need the amount of tau. If you take Mine, you can’t go back to the temple before the bell of 4 rings. “

I, who was going to go to the forest on an excursion with everyone, falls down on Lutz’s theory. I hate myself, as always as a footstep.

Lutz screamed a little while stroking his head with a pom-pom for comfort.

“Well, there may be a guy coming to see the situation, and should the director Mine remain in the orphanage?”

“Uh … surely”

There is a high possibility that the minister or temple head will come to watch or watch the situation. If the temple chief knows that the orphanage is a shell of shells, not only me, but the priest who issued the permit may be praised.

“Is there a guy who has a role left? Mine picks up the tau fruit together, so Mine is also an answering machine. If I can’t do that, I won’t help.”

“… I understand. I’m answering.”

«When we arrived at the temple, almost two bells rang around the city. It’s opening time.

Everyone who led by Lutz held off his mouth so that he wouldn’t speak from the back door of the orphanage. It looks like the gatekeeper is enjoying laughing and is about to laugh.

When I saw everyone who was away from the temple screamed and ran toward the gate, I headed to my room with enviable feelings and turned into a blue robe so that I could be packed in an orphanage I changed my clothes.

Did Delia not have to go to the forest?

“Going to the forest is something I don’t need to become a mistress. I want to learn letters faster than that.”

Gill and Delia are practicing the letter as if they were fighting with the slate that I gave, but Gill learns a little faster. I think it’s probably because I took Karta and played with everyone at the orphanage.

“What are you losing to Gil for now?”

“Wow! Isn’t it just a little! I’ll win soon!”

Delia, who remains alone, will leave the chef’s surveillance and I will go to the orphanage with Fran.

Descending to the first floor, Fugo and Ella who wanted to complete the dishes by the bells that threw the tau fruit were cooking at a swift momentum, and it was glimpsed from the open door.

“This morning, the priest tells me to talk about the rituals in the temple. It is forbidden to throw tau fruit in the orphanage until Mine learns exactly. There “

“Wow …”

The chief priest who seems to allow no compromise on education seems to have organized my educational program at once. There is a good amount to remember today.

“ When I see the contents written on the wooden bill, I am confused, “ The priest imposes an amount that I can do so because of my computational and literacy skills, ” says Fran. The chief is misunderstood. My computing ability is a gift of the previous life, and literacy is an indispensable ability for reading. It would be a problem if the standard of memory for temple rituals is used. I do not have such an excellent head.

When I went around the corridor and headed to the orphanage, I met the blue priest who saw the face for the first time as if I was preparing for the ritual.

“Oh, isn’t it a shameless blue commoner? Isn’t there a child’s turn in today’s ritual?”

“It is not a ritual, but a priest who has been given the duty to pack in an orphanage so that children do not disturb the ritual.”

“Well, I see. The common people are good at taking care of orphans. Encouragement.”

“Thank you for your words of encouragement”

“Hung!”

The blue priest leaves with a screaming nose. I also started walking toward the orphanage. Fran eagerly calls his eyebrows and calls with concern.

“That’s Mine, the last time …”

“It’s okay if you don’t mind, Fran. If you just say it, you’ll be fine. There’s no real harm”

When I entered the orphanage, there were several gray ladies who remained in the orphanage. There are only candidates for flower offerings, and each child is of a different type, but it is only a beautiful child with good features.

“Oh, Maine, how are you?”

Kururi looked back at me and tilted the small neck. The gesture is so sophisticated that it looks like a princess.

“I’m planning to pack here for the time when there are people coming to see me. Are you a role?”

“No, we don’t feel so attractive to go to the forest, so we were discussing whether we could make soup from the rest”

“Well, I’ll save you”

I found a face that one of the gray priests knew.

A girl in her mid-teen who tied a blonde close to a bright orange. No, as long as you tie your hair up, you might be strange because you are an adult. However, a girl has a very young face.

“Vilma, thank you for drawing Carta the other day. It was very nice.”

Vilma’s always smiling bright brown eyes were happily thinned, further enhancing the gentle atmosphere.

“Thank you for letting me draw. I was really happy to hold the pen after a long time. The children here looked very interesting. It was not for the sake of you. “

“That was a reward for my side-serving. If Virma can draw, can I order a board for the orphanage children?”

It would be somehow to prepare a board and write a letter, but my illustration seems to be different from the culture picture here so that the people around it stop together. Vilma’s cooperation is indispensable for making Carta.

“Well! Please come!”

Vilma shined his face. Enthusiasm to draw pictures and love for children are overflowing. When I cleaned the orphanage, it would have been Wilma who ran to the children first and washed them cleanly.

When I promised to prepare a carta for orphanage children in the near future, the girl next to Vilma sadly looked down.

“If I can draw a picture like Vilma, I can help Mine, but …”

“Oh, Rosina is not good at lyre”

The special skill of Rosina with beautiful features that seemed to sigh unfortunately seems to be lyre. What it is, elegance.

I really wanted to hear Rosina’s lyre, but because the previous Lord had the instrument, it says that it is now without any special skills. I would like to buy it if possible, but in Japan the instruments were basically expensive. The price of a good instrument is decided without knowing the ceiling.

“Hey, Franc. The lyre is expensive?”

“It would be better to ask Benno-sama, but music is essential for the taste of the blue priestess?”

“If Mine is well educated, I think we can help. If you’d like, please give me side service.”

Rosina seemed to have served the same blue lady apprentice as Vilma. An apprentice who was very interested in art, her side service was clearly divided into a gray priest and apprentice to share art with a gray priest who did chores. Rosina and others seemed to have been improving their skills in singing, musical instruments, dances, poetry and pictures every day.

…… Unu. I have been learning the piano for about three years, but I have never touched the lyre. There are no pianicas or recorders here.

I don’t just think about document arrangements and temples, but I have to learn more about it.

“Now, Mr. Mine. We’re going to make soup.”

When Vilma and his family went to make soup, they were left in the orphanage cafeteria with Franc.

“Hey, Franc. What do you think if you want to put Vilma on the side? Will the priest give me permission?”

“Will you ask me why?”

franc got a little eyebrows.

“Is Wilma good at painting? Like Karta, but from now on, what I want to make will require a picture, so I want to secure it before it is taken by other blue priests. I also thought that an adult and well-educated gray shrine maiden would be necessary. “

“It’s likely that permission will be granted. But it’s like Vilma that takes care of young children the most in this orphanage, so what happens to the orphans after pulling out Vilma …

“Yes. Now let’s listen to Vilma’s opinion and think a bit”

Three bells rang while receiving lectures on temple rituals from Fran. After that, the outside is noisy and noisy. It seems that the bride and groom came to the temple for the star-knot ceremony. I want to go see, but I can’t go.

The four bells resonated while doing the quota while frustrating. It seems that the star-knot ritual is over, and the rumblings are gradually getting farther away.

After a while, the children returned quietly from the back door. As you hold your mouth, go up the stairs to prevent footsteps.

“Come back, everyone. Did you get a lot of tau?”

“Mine, Shih!”

Talking about not to speak, hurry and scream. The sound of the back door of the basement closing, the moment Lutz enters and the hands are raised, everyone begins to speak.

“I have collected a lot!”

“All the walls are on the basement. Let’s have lunch first?”

“Now let’s wait for the grace of God to be cleansed. I will return to the room once.”

Because there is Lutz, it passes through the basement without going through the corridor. There were a lot of tau fruits that everyone picked up in the basement.

“Lutz, can I get four picked fruits? The chefs Fugo and Ella couldn’t go to the forest, so I want to give them.”

“Oh, good!”

I got the tau fruit from the franc and returned to the room from the back door.

Lunch was already ready and Fugo was waiting outside. Pass two tau fruits to the two through the franc.

“Thank you for coming to the festival today. This is a little, but bring it with me.”

“Wow! Thank you!”

I found that Fugo started running as soon as I turned my back to the kitchen. How long have you been looking forward to the Star Festival? And who is going to hit that tau fruit? As I worried about me, I heard a voice that Ella stopped saying “Hey, Mr. Fugo”, so I read the air and I didn’t look back and went up the stairs.

Serving Delia in her room and having lunch with Lutz.

Today’s lunch is Capellini. I had you make raw pasta as thin as possible. Choose cheese with as little pome sauce as possible, such as tomato and mozzarella, with two herbs, one with herbs, and one made with vegetable oil, salt, herbs and garlic religion for basil sauce I tried to.

Also, there are salads with seasoned vegetables and steamed birds. I really feel like eating cold noodles, but I can’t help seeing anything that seems to be usable for Japanese food as usual.

“Lutz worked a lot. You can eat plenty. Thanks to Lutz, everyone seemed very happy. Thank you.”

“I was looking for it. There were some guys who got into the back and thought what to do if they couldn’t get back in time”

“… Nice. I wanted to see the festival too. In the morning I had been studying with Fran.”

Listening to the feelings of happily picking up tau fruit in the forest and the impressions of orphans who saw people holding tau fruit when they came back to the temple, it is regrettable.

“Now, Mine. Would you like to go see the festival for a moment?”

“Huh?”

“The bride and groom will no longer be there, and we won’t throw tau, we will just see what the city feels like. If you have rice, you have some time? ”

After the blue priest’s lunch is over and the side serving is finished, the grace of God is distributed, and some gray priests prepare a carriage, so throwing tau after all have gathered Has a little time.

“I want to go!”

After changing from the blue maiden outfit to everyday clothes, I jumped out of the temple gate with Lutz.

The flooded city was shining brightly in the summer sun. The area near the temple is hardly wet, but as you move away from the temple, your feet become drenched. How many tau fruits have been thrown in the summer sun?

The whole body was soaked, and I could see the children running while cheering with water drops from their hair. From the destination of the children, a furious voice sounds.

“Let’s go, Lutz!”

“Look at it from a distance”

According to Lutz’s advice, when I looked in from behind the building, an alley that wasn’t so big was a mess. There are no enemies or allies, and anyway, she shouts out loud and meaningless words and throws tau fruit. Because they utter loudly between buildings, they resonate and have a tremendous volume.

Everybody is soaked, and it is natural that an older sister who is wearing light summer clothes sticks to her body and her body line is clear, and terrible people are completely transparent. There are many men who run around in the upper half as well as the clothes they stick on are bothersome.

…… Wow, it looks like a fuss when the cheering team wins in soccer or baseball.

“Wow !?”

“Wow !?”

Suddenly, Lutz screamed and water dripped from Lutz’s head. A cold drop of water fell on me and myself, and when I looked back in surprise, I saw several children holding tau fruit behind Lutz.

“There are guys who aren’t wet here!”

At the moment when the children shouted, the large number of people who were making a fuss turned all at once. When the hunter’s eyes that have found their prey are directed toward themselves, they have a dreadful power. A small scream leaked from my mouth and my whole body shrunk.

“Run away, Mine! Avoid as much as possible!”

“I can’t!”

Demanding such agile behavior is a problem. All I can do is raise arms and prevent direct hits on the face.

Lutz pulled my hand and struck the tau fruit flying toward me with his hand. Tau’s fruit hits the stone pave and flips like a water balloon.

I was relieved to avoid direct hits, but Lutz seemed to have struck the opponent’s willingness to fight.

“Avoid! Cheeky!”

“Everyone, do it!”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

Tau’s fruits are flying one after another! Pachin! And hit me and play. The touch itself feels like a boyon, and it doesn’t hurt much even if it hits, but the goose bumps stand in the water that travels through the scalp and flows into the back muscles and the water that hits the back.

“Gya! Cold! Cold!”

“Mine, move your feet anyway!”

Lutz was able to get rid of only the first shot. Since adults are also mixed, there is no way to escape. Surrounded in a blink of an eye, many people are incapacitated.

Lutz and I were in a hurry without being able to avoid or escape, and received a barrage of fire from the people who became natural high due to the heat of the festival.

“Ahaha! You didn’t do your best to protect the little bit?”

“It’s a promising future”

laughing and laughing, saying the effort to Lutz who was trying to protect me until the end, they left like a storm in search of the next prey.

“… Lutz, this is definitely a cold?”

When I picked up the skirt where the water fell and the water fell, Lutz also whispered while shaking the head and flying the water droplets.

“I don’t make a mistake. In this amount, Aunt Efa will be beaten and won’t let me go to the festival again.”

“… I understand the atmosphere. I understand it so badly. It’s a festival that isn’t suitable for me, if I’m sure it’s done,”

If you squeeze your hair tightly, the water will dripping with a noise. While squeezing here and there, I and Lutz return to the temple.

The North has started preparations at the well squares here and there, as the emphasis is on eating ahead rather than throwing tau fruit. Passing a board between wooden boxes and setting up an instant table, food is being carried from here and there.

“If I am hungry, I’ll stop by”

“Isn’t it free yet?”

When the dishes begin to be transported, those who made a fuss with tau fruits must remember their hunger.

“Wow! What is it! What is it !? Please stay outside until the bathroom is ready because the rooms get dirty!”

Delia yelled before she was beaten by her mother. When Lutz screamed, “I’m afraid of Aunt Afa,” she scrambled and agreed, and she came out with a franc that changed into old clothes to go to the forest to get wet.

Looking at us soaked, holding down the temple as if in trouble.

“Mine, it seems that the orphans are ready, so let’s go to the orphanage as it is. Delia, just ask for the preparation so that you can use the bath as soon as you return.”

“I’m smart”

Delia said that it would not be beautiful to throw tau fruits, so Delia is an answering machine. Gill seems to have gone to the orphanage.

“The blue priests contacted the gray priest who was preparing a carriage to go to the aristocratic town. The blue priests and their sidemen all went to the aristocratic town, so the main gate was closed.”

19459002]

When we headed from the back door to the orphanage, everyone changed from a priest’s uniform to old clothes and brought out the tau fruit that was on the basement.

Lutz will be divided into two teams according to the instructions of Lutz, and Franc will be divided appropriately, considering age and number of men and women. Specify a range that you can run around and make sure you don’t go outside.

“Make sure you clean up, and then make sure you don’t get overwhelmed and wondered by the people in the city. Finally, enjoy it without injuries or fights.

“Yes!”

“Well, do you give away tau fruit?”

Lutz turned his eyes to several ridges. At such times, I must move first because I am supposed to be the tallest.

The tau fruit seen in the spring in the forest was only as large as the first joint of the thumb, but the fruit in the cage was larger than my fist. It seems to contain plenty of moisture, and is puyopuyo.

When I was hit by a large amount, my eyes were almost closed, so it may be the first time to see the fruit of tau carefully.

“Wow, I’m really big”

The moment I picked up one of the fruits above, I felt that my magical power was being sucked out like the time of devotion, and at the same time, the tau fruit bubbled and appeared Began to change.

“Wow !?”

“What’s the main?”

“Magic power is being sucked out!”

Species that seem to be hard like pomegranates appear one after another in tau fruits that were translucent red like a water balloon and begin to increase.

“It’s so bad! What’s this?”

“Do you know me?”

While moving in the right-and-left direction while holding it in hand, the color of the fruit that was light red gradually increased, and in the fruit, there were more seeds than moisture. The skin that had been Boyoyo becomes hard and the inside becomes invisible.

I finally understood it. The red fruit must be a Trombe seed I’ve seen before.

“Lutz, this is Trombe! Prepare a knife! I’ll come to Japan!”

“Are you serious?”

While holding the fruit of tau, when I said so, Lutz, who was peeping into the tau that changed his appearance, immediately ran to the basement where he was storing. Send out instructions to the orphans while pulling out a spear with a knife or scissors.

“Take the knife and knife you are used to collecting. Expensive paper material comes out. Mow everything!”

“Hey!”

As soon as orphans rushed to the knives, the hardness of the tau increased and it gradually became hot. If you threw in this state before, Trombe should have come out.

“Mine, I’m ready!”

Gill stands next to me with a sword-like blade like a squadron hero. Lutz holding a knife in one hand pointed to the grassy side without cobblestones.

“Mine, throw it on the earth!”

Listening to the voices of Gil and Lutz, I threw a lot of tau fruit toward a part of the soil.

“Ike, Nyoki Nyoki!”
