Chapter 276

‘Magic power doesn’t move, says Rosemeine in a hurry. Now Rosemine is lying quietly in the pale blue medicine and you can see her hair still shaking.

The priest stood up while wiping his hand drawn from the chemical, and left me with a dirty towel and opened the door. I can’t go in and out of this workshop alone, so I hurry to leave the workshop with the priest.

The priest once glanced at Rosemine’s sleeping box and then carefully closed the door.

“Now there is no one except me. Rosemine is safe”

“Yes”

“If you have a memorandum or letter from Franc, Rosemine, please send it out. If Rosemine is going to do this winter, I’d like to know”

“I’m smart”

I immediately took out a letter to everyone and a memorandum of what to do from Rosemine’s office desk. Don’t forget that Rosemine is always copying the plan written on the writing board on paper, so you can easily see what you were going to do.

Although it was a failed work, I was initially surprised at the luxurious use of expensive paper for the memorandum, but I’m used to it. It seems that Rosemine is best to write on paper, not on wooden bills.

When I divided Rosemine’s letter into aristocrats, temple officials, and downtown officials, the Ordonans jumped in. Then, tell them that they have caught the criminal and return to the yellow magic stone. The priest responded, “I will return to the castle” and returned Ordnance.

Immediately, the chief prisoner begins to walk toward the door, picking up the letter and memorandum from the aristocrats that I gave.

“Because there is processing there, I will not return until the dedication ceremony. The inside of the temple asks for my side service and others. I used the blue priests and finished preparing the dedication ceremony.

“I’m smart”

As soon as the priest left the room in a hurry, the other sidemen came. It seems uneasy and unavoidable that Rosemine has suddenly entered the workshop.

“Fran, what did the chief priest say? Is Rosemine safe?”

Monica looked up uneasy. Nikola and Gill are waiting for my words.

“It’s said that you’ll sleep for more than a year. The poison I’ve received seems to have been a burden on Rosemine,”

“Such …”

Everyone has a crying face, but it’s a long time before Rosemine is awakened.

“More details will be tomorrow. Today is late, so take a rest.”

Apprentices who are still unacceptable will be returned to their rooms.

Then, today’s sleepless turn, I prepared a room and wrote a letter to Lutz, who is in a position to explain to the family and the Printemps Chamber of Commerce of Rosemine.

The next day was a day spent in explanation. I gave a letter of explanation to the apprentices who got up early in the morning to find out if they couldn’t sleep.

When bell 4 rang and I got to lunch, everyone was asking for explanation, but honestly, the head of the priest went out in a hurry. I am not so familiar with it.

“As Rosemine said, it’s no different than going to the castle and leaving the temple. You can only live by thinking that the period of absence has only been extended. Please live as usual so that Rosemine who came is not troubled. “

After finishing lunch, I and Zarm began to gather materials about Rosemine’s work and move them to the room of the priest. The priest will do the work while Rosemine is absent.

“Wouldn’t it be possible for the chief to fall down if this is the case?”

Referring to the amount of documents to be transferred to the priest’s office, Zam said that I would be fine after thinking that I was worried about the priest.

“Since I took the opinion of Rosemine and educated other blue priests, it would be somehow. What would have happened if I hadn’t done anything … Just one point, I was Rosemine. Prayer to God! ”

Zarm used to serve the same Lord as Fritz before, so he really liked the superiority of the priest and the easy work environment. And from the time of apprenticeship with a blue priest, he praised Rosemine as the priest ’s assistant.

I heard that Zarm was the first candidate when he told me to move someone from the side of the priest ’s side to Rosemine. If this person has better quality of rice, the amount of work to be entrusted to each person is greater, it is worthwhile, and if Rosemine is able to take on more work, as a result the priest The chief said that it was saved.

“Let’s carry it. The priest’s side servants will need to explain.”

Me and Zarm carried a wooden box containing the material of the temple headquarters into the room of the head of the chief.

“Fran, Zam. I’ve been waiting for you. I’ve opened this shelf.”

The priest seemed to be giving instructions here as well, and there was already a place to organize the materials we brought in. Working together, we will prepare materials and exchange information about last night’s events.

As much as possible, we reduced the work of the chief priests, selected the works that could be sent to the blue priests, and decided to turn them around.

“Can I ask you to explain to Zam, Kanfel and Frittak? I will go to the orphanage and the studio”

After finishing organizing the materials, I left the explanation to the blue priests to Zam and the side of the former colleague, the chief priest, and I left for the orphanage.

“I heard from Monica that Fran, Rosemine was taking a long break, but what will happen to the orphanage?”

Vilma asked for details with a pale face. Orphanages who have changed dramatically since Rosemine became the orphanage director are extremely afraid that Rosemine will disappear. It may be natural that life may return to the same as before.

“It’s okay. While Rosemine is on holiday, the authority is transferred to the priest, but it is basically the same as before and I was told to run on behalf of Rosemine. Regarding the budget, Rosemine’s guild card can not be used, but because the priest manages the budget as the subsidy for the temple head out of the castle and the cost of living passed to the lord’s child, I don’t think it will be a problem. “

Talked to the orphan children who were worried that money would not be lost if they worked in the workshop as before.

“Because winter preparations are already over, you can spend it until spring without any problems”

“… That’s right”

This hasn’t been told by anyone, but there will be money called “Tansu Chokin” stored in a locked bookcase by Rosemine, so it will not be in the worst situation.

“Vilma, the man who manages it doesn’t look too terrified. Please be stunned. Rosemine is all right.”

“I’m sorry”

“I will present here the winter assignments from Rosemine”

The last year’s assignment from Rosemine to Orphanage was “Let everyone learn basic letters and single-digit calculations”. I remembered that the small hamburger came out for a meal as a reward for everyone, and the anxiety disappeared from the eyes of the children.

“This year’s task is that everyone should acquire basic knowledge as a side serving by the age of 10. I ask the gray priests with side serving experience to serve as teachers.”

“Yes”

It seems that Rosemine was involved in the purchase and sale contract of Volk at Irkner and thought to increase the value of the gray priests. Those who have side-handed skills sell better than sold as subordinates. And depending on the work you can do, the way you are treated will change.

“Delia and Rosemine were also worried about Dirk. If an abnormality appears, please contact us early. The Priest may be too busy, so the response may be delayed.”

“I understand”

After finishing the explanation at the orphanage, I headed to the workshop, but regarding the workshop, Gill said, “If you make a lot of books, Rosemine might want to read and get up early,” printed. There seems to be no problem in particular.

Finished just by handing over a letter for Lutz.

The next day, Rosemine’s exclusives were returned from the castle. In addition to the leaking of recipes by exclusive cooks, if you remain in the castle without a guardian, you may be forced by force or pulled out. Rosina and Ella are young women, so Rosemine was asking the priest to never leave the castle.

We will tell the dedicated staff who have returned that Rosemine is unable to return for more than a year, and we will tell you the details of the work that has been entrusted.

“Ella and Fugo will continue to cook for the side serving and the orphanage, as usual. Then Rosemine would like to take her favorite Nikola to the path of cooking. After that, he said that he would like to put effort into creating a recipe book that was n’t too busy due to the busyness.If there is more room, try to make a new recipe soon. You said, “

“I’m smart”

Nicolas laughs happily and writes on the writing board what she must do in the kitchen. Nera and Fugo cannot read the letters, so Nikola will take care of writing. This is also the reason why the creation of recipe books is difficult.

“Rosina wants the orphanage children to teach Fespeel. Rosine says that Rosina may understand the children’s musical talent. It seems that if the talent as a musician blooms, the future of the child will change again. “

“Is it okay to tell you something that Christine taught us?” OK, let’s do it. “

Rosina’s words that he wants to raise the value of orphans and find a well-placed work place, Rosina, who was purchased as a dedicated musician, softly relaxes his expression.

In this way, life began in a temple where Rosemine wasn’t here.

Nicola began serving as a cooking assistant while serving, and Gil and Fritz are still working at the workshop and the orphanage in winter. I and Zam and Monica are basically in the room of the chief, except for meals and sleep, and work daily with the minister’s side servants.

“We are ready for the ritual”

“Are you ready for the kite?”

“Canfel, have you decided on the order of the dedication?”

“Fritark, please tell the other blue priests”

As with last year, we were able to finish the preparation for the dedication ceremony before the priest returned. Since Kanfel and Frittak are also in preparation for the second year, we have become accustomed to this. An increasing number of other blue priests also cooperate.

“Are you ready?”

The Priest will return two days before the dedication ceremony to confirm. After confirming that it was in place, he spoke hard to the blue priests.

“It was a hard time. Then you should spend your time until the day of the dedication.”

Upon leaving the blue priests, the chief priest took a magic stone bag from his workshop and headed to the Rosemine-like workshop.

“Fran, please come”

When I entered the workshop with the priest, Rosemine was sleeping in the same state as that day.

However, the blue of the solution is much darker than before, and the red line that appears on the white skin of Rosemine seems to shine.

“… I left it too much”

The priest told me to put my eyebrows and told me to put a magic stone inside. I will put transparent magic stones and black magic stones that have lost their color one after another in the chemicals. As the magic stones absorb the magical power, the color of the chemicals gradually fades away.

“Rose Mine, it’s over-compressed. Maybe there’s not enough magic stones. It was saved at the time of the dedication ceremony.”

The chief priest who took the hand of Rosemine and stared at the red line sighed. I heard a whisper that it would take longer than expected.

While the Secretary is writing about the progress of Rosemine, I take out the magic stone filled with Rosemine’s magical power, wipe it carefully, and repack it into a bag.

“Let’s do this today”

After that, after the dedication ceremony, the blue magic priests used the magic stones that had been emptied into Rosemine-like chemicals to replenish their magical power.

Thanks to Rosemine’s magical power, the dedication ceremony was completed without hesitation.

After entering the dedication ceremony, I will enter the workshop with the chief priest by accumulating magical power for the prayer ceremony. I was a little relieved to be able to confirm Rosemine’s appearance, but I also felt impatient that there was no change at all.

…… Please get up early, Rosemine.

After the dedication ceremony, the chief priest began working on the paperwork he had accumulated. Despite the sudden increase in the amount of work, it seems that the life of drug-drinking has begun once again as a result of the training of the Knights to Eckhart. The side servants spilled out that they came to look closely at the figure of the priest reaching for the medicine.

The work of the chief priest, the work at the castle, and the work of the temple chief, who was in charge of Rosemine, and the exchanges with the orphanage, the workshop, and the Printemps firm are under pressure It is.

Even though the blue priests are growing little by little, the blue priests are not entrusted with work related to the Printemps Shokai or the management of the orphanage.

“There are very few people of Printemps during the winter, and the orphanage is basically just wintering, so it seems no problem”

“Oh, there are managers in the workshop and orphanage, and I want you to do some things there.”

However, in the spring, when the handwork for winter and the paper making process begin, money exchanges will be made, so the work will increase even if it is unpleasant, and it cannot be postponed.

The priest chief, who seems to be working not only from the temple, but also from the castle, whispered medicine with a bitter face.

“I don’t feel good, but call that …”

The priest flew the Ordnance, and after a short time I saw the cavalry rushing towards the temple at high speed.

“We visited at the request of Mr. Ferdinand. If you manage the workshop and interact with the merchant, leave it to me.”

Mr. Justoks, who has little reluctance to the downtown area and is familiar with the circumstances of Rosemine, shone in front of the priest, with his eyes shining.

“Flitz, just take us to the workshop and explain the financial exchange with the Printemps firm. Justoks, so busy, don’t cause problems”

“It’s clever. Let me show you, Fritz.”

“Fritz, please report if you have anything. I’ll beat you right away.”

Justoks leaves the room as if dragging Fritz, without trying to hide his exhilarating situation. There is no help for it because it is extremely anxious. Is it really okay?

“… Principal”

“Don’t worry, Fran. Justus likes to gather information, he doesn’t care about anyone. And he looks good and is a good civilian.”

As the priest said, Justuskus seemed to be immediately familiar with the workshop. Although it may not be a person who takes a high-pressure attitude, Fritz said that it was very good to get in between people.

When Yustox came to the workshop, I was writing materials in the temple chief room for Yustoks who was told that he wanted to know the flow of the workshop so far. , I asked somehow about the workshop I saw from Yustox.

“How is Yustokus, how is the workshop?”

“It’s a very fresh experience. It’s funny. I’m Princess Rosemine. I’m raising a funny belly. When I first visited the workshop, I made papermaking …”

Aristocrats do not work with their bodies. The confused figure of the workshop comes to mind. The Fritz I took was probably tough.

Immediately after I sympathized with Fritz, an unbelievable word came out of Mr. Justox.

“As soon as I touched a piece of paper just pasted on the board, I was yelled at by the Printemps Shokai Dapura, what are you doing, this idiot!”

…… Lutz, what are you doing! ? Fritz, what were you doing! ?

My blood draws away, but Justoks continues to look forward to it.

Immediately after yelling, Lutz seemed to be bad and the studio was silent. Then, Fritz came out to sing Lutz this time, and Justoks seemed to preach.

A cold smile like Ferdinand said, “I didn’t think that you explained the time and process required to make paper, and that you wouldn’t introduce incompetence that you didn’t know about the loss of time and profit. “ Is the clergyman’s eyes clouded because of the busyness? ” Or “ The manager who ruined the product can not substitute for Rosemine, so immediately report it to the priest and hit it You do n’t need someone who does n’t understand the importance of this, ”said Yustox.

“… So what did you do with Justus?”

“As expected, I was called by Ferdinand-san who was busy with work, but it would be very difficult to increase the work of Ferdinand-san, and it would be very difficult to get fired. It was a dangerous place, and now I am recovering my honor by showing off my excellence. I was impressed that there was only the heart of Rosemine like that he was bad for his health. “

… Maybe ordinary aristocrats don’t have such impressions, but I don’t say anything. It ’s good because the person thinks he ’s got nothing. It is over.

Since there was no need to swell in the heart of the priest, I decided to sympathize with the riots in the workshop, just like Fritz.

There are not many days to go in and out of the temple, whether Yustox is busy. However, it seems that there is no doubt that he is an excellent civilian, according to the words of the chief priest, and once he comes, he will clear up the work for several days.

And, together with the workshop, I will report on the work that has been left to the priest, and I will be forced to return to the aristocratic town with a new mission. I felt like I was gathering evidence of the criminal who hurt Rosemine from the end of the words.

Mid-Spring is approaching and preparations for the prayer ceremony have begun. In this year’s prayer ceremony, it is said that the lord’s children go around the district directly under the magic stone in place of Rosemine. Just like Rosemine and the head of the priest, the priest ’s trip to the temple takes the form of a priest ’s itinerary. If you didn’t use something that could be used, tears would appear in the work of the priesthood.

Of Rosemine’s side servings, I will accompany you as a mentor to teach Charlotte because I am most familiar with the rituals. In the process of preparing the necessary things, the priest said.

“Fran, make a new legend of the saint. Rosemine was swallowed by poison and fell asleep, so the son of the lord guarded by the saint offered to give a blessing instead. As a good story of the children, I ’ll tell the people around me, like Rosemine, if they ’re compassionate and wonderful, they ’ll praise and admit that they can use them again next year. ”

priest chief said, preparing a lot of anti-fatigue medicines with the same taste that he gave to Rosemine.

“If Villefried and Charlotte finish the prayer with good spirits and don’t get anything dedicated to Rosemine at the harvest festival, they will have trouble getting ready for the orphanage in winter.” [19459002 ]

So pointed out by the priest, I agreed to create the legend of Saint Charlotte.

I have come to understand in the last few years the importance of money that supports life, not on paper. This prayer ceremony must be successful in order to support the life of the temple and orphanage.

ceremonial clothing for children that suits both of them was only for Rosemine, so Charlotte was wearing a white outfit that could be used without any modification. For Villefried who needs repair, we will use the blue costume.

Guilberta’s Korinna made it so that it could be worn even if it grew up, so it took a while to fix it, and it was done quickly.

Request to Printemps Shokai to get a carriage out as usual, and prepare to pick up both Ahim and Egon who are spending time in the Winter Hall of Hasse. Then, the priest chief requested me to attach an escort soldier. This time, we are wary of the aristocratic raid, and it seems that there are about twice as many escort knights as usual.

Charlotte, who has not yet entered the Aristocratic House, does not have a beast, so it has been a long journey with a carriage.

Charlotte was very happy with Rosemine, and was very pleased to hear what she was doing at the temple. I was able to hear the state of Rosemine at the castle and was very meaningful.

Licht first looked at Charlotte and misunderstood that he couldn’t get forgiveness, but the legend of a healthy saint Charlotte who worked hard to deliver a blessing instead of her sister And welcomes Charlotte with emotional tears.

Charlotte, who was nervous at the first ritual, was able to perform the ritual with the magic stones of Rosemine’s magic.

And then, when Ahim and Egon are picked up and headed to the small temple to see if there are any shortages in their lives, the laborers who return to Ehrenfest will be given money to Charlotte.

“Fran, how is the temple head?”

Günter, who received the money, looked at me with a terribly complicated face.

“No change. The burden on the body from a young age seems to have been greater than expected by the chief priest, and it is likely to be prolonged.”

“Is that so …”

この道中、シャルロッテ様はローゼマイン様と違って薬を使う回数が非常に少なく、持って行った薬の大半を使わないまま祈念式が終わりました。

大半を使わなければ乗り切れないローゼマイン様の虚弱さに、溜息が零れるのを止められませんでした。

祈念式から戻ると、ギルから相談を受けました。この先印刷する話をどうしよう、と言われたのです。

去年は確かローゼマイン様が城で子供達からお話を集めていたはずです。神官長に相談した結果、冬の子供部屋で集めた話を渡してくれました。それをギルに渡したのですが、ギルは溜息を吐いて、首を振ります。

「これでは印刷できません。子供の話し言葉で書かれているので、読み物の形に書き直さなければならないのですが……誰かできますか？」

「今はとてもそのような余裕はありませんね」

……それにしても、ローゼマイン様は神官長の手伝いをして、たくさんの儀式について覚え、城へ行って貴族令嬢としての務めを果たし、その合間に原稿を作っていたのですよね？

ローゼマイン様の本作りに対する執念というか、本に対する愛情に、今更ながら驚かされました。

それから数日後、ギルを通して、トゥーリが土の日に行儀作法を教えてほしいと申し込んできました。受講料はローゼマイン様が家族のために書いた物語集だそうです。すでに読み物として完成されている文章なので、騎士物語集が終わった後、ギルはこれを印刷したいと言っています。

トゥーリはローゼマイン様の実の姉で、孤児院ではずっとお世話になっていたので、行儀作法を教えることで恩返しができるから良い、と許可が出ました。クリスティーネ様の側仕えとして教養を叩き込まれているヴィルマとロジーナ以上の適任者はいないので、ヴィルマとロジーナに頼みます。ルッツも一緒に練習するようです。

少し様子を見に行きましたが、神殿にやってきたばかりの頃、長い袖に色々な物を引っかけて失敗していたローゼマイン様の姿を思い出し、少し懐かしい気持ちになりました。

ヴィルマによると、トゥーリはディルクに関する子育ての相談にも乗ってくれたようです。出産を経験している灰色巫女がいなくなった今の孤児院には、幼い子供を養育した経験のある者がいません。ローゼマイン様から多少の助言はありますが、ヴィルマやデリアは何もかもが手探りのため、同じ年の弟がいるトゥーリの助言は非常にありがたいそうです。

春の終わりにニコラが成人しました。ロジーナの時と同じように、ちょっとしたお祝いをしましたが、ニコラは「ローゼマイン様に新しいレシピを教えてもらおうと思っていたのに」と嘆いていました。嘆くとは言っても、ローゼマイン様が起きたら教えていただきましょう、とエラのお菓子を差し出したらすぐに笑顔が戻る程度の嘆きです。

ニコラの成人式とほぼ同じ頃、イタリアンレストランから新しいレシピの問い合わせが来ました。

ローゼマイン様はまだ一年ほど目覚めないので、自分達で考えてください、と返事をした結果、フーゴとイルゼが自作の創作料理について情報交換することになったようです。料理人の自尊心にかけて負けられない、と厨房の者達が盛り上がっています。ローゼマイン様の専属として恥ずかしくない料理を作るそうです。

そして、夏の半ば、星結びの儀式を終えてしばらくすると、ローゼマイン様の護衛騎士をしていたブリギッテ様が故郷に戻られることになりました。ご結婚準備のためだそうです。

ダームエル様が非常に落ち込んでいたので、どうやらこの二人はうまくいかなかったようです。神官長が「二人の階級や状況を考えると難しいだろう」とおっしゃっていたので、仕方がないことだったのだろうと思いました。

私には結婚というものがよくわからないのですが、上の空になっているダームエル様が結婚だけではなく、仕事でも失敗しないように神々に祈っておきましょう。

どんよりとしているダームエル様の横を通って、今日はフーゴとエラが大事な話があるとやってきました。

「大事な話とは何でしょう？」

私が尋ねると、二人は一度顔を見合わせて笑いました。そして、こちらに向いて幸せそのものの笑顔で口を開きました。

「お互いの父親から許可が出ました。俺達、結婚します」

視界の端でダームエル様が耳を塞いだのが目に入りました。今は聞きたくない話題のようです。

「それで、結婚後のことについて相談したいと思いまして……」

「相談と言われましても、突然すぎて私には対処できません。神官長にお伺いを立てるので、しばらくお待ちください」

……こういう場合はどうすれば良いのでしょう？

神殿においては結婚という単語が出てくることさえないので、相談されても私は戸惑うしかありません。ひとまず神官長に相談したところ、神官長はひどく面倒くさそうな顔になって、パタパタと手を振りました。

「彼らはローゼマインの専属だ。私が勝手に許可を出したり、動かしたりして良い対象ではない。ローゼマインが起きるまでは結婚は許可できぬ。結婚後仕事を辞めるエラの後進でも育てて待っていろ、と伝えなさい」

私が神官長の言葉を二人に伝えると、エラに「結婚しても専属を辞めるつもりなんて、これっぽっちもないんだけど！」と怒鳴られました。

「え？　辞めないのですか？　子をなすのに仕事はできないのですよね？」

「生む時とその後ちょっとは休むけど、結婚直後から仕事を辞めていたら生活できないでしょ！？」

「……下町ではそうなのですか。女性は仕事を辞めるものだ、と神官長がおっしゃいましたし、神官達は結婚を禁じられているので、正直な話、よくわからないのです」

エラが述べる結婚生活は、私が神官長から伺った結婚とはずいぶん違いました。神官長にも平民の事情はわからなかったようです。

「お貴族様と平民は違いますよ。わたしは結婚してからも仕事は続けるつもりですけど、前例がないんじゃ、確かにローゼマイン様が起きないとどうしようもないですね。待ちましょうか」

エラは割とあっさり待機を決めてくれましたが、フーゴはすぐに気持ちを切り替えられなかったようです。

「ちょっと待てよ、エラ。そんなに簡単に諦めるな！」

「え？　別に諦めてないよ。待つしかないって言ってるだけじゃない」

「待つってことはあれだろ？　次の星祭りでも俺は主役になれないってことだろ！？」

「どうでしょう？　全てはローゼマイン様次第ですね」

私の言葉に、フーゴがギラリとした目をこちらに向けました。

「くっ！　恋人ができても俺は結婚できねぇ運命なのか！？　どうなんだ、フラン！？」

嘆くフーゴに肩をつかんでガクガクと揺さぶられましたが、そのようなこと、私が知るわけがないでしょう。
