Chapter 324

“Dermuel prepares for subjugation. When ready, gather in this room and head to the Knights training area. Rosemine is waiting here!”

Only adult knights are heading for the winter defeat. You are not allowed to take an apprentice. Angelica, who was allowed to accompany the temple, is also an answering machine this time.

I was ordered to wait with an escort knight apprentice and sat down again in the room where Gibe Irkner left. Richarda will immediately go get my cold protection.

“If you take the apprenticeship of the knights of the Aristocracy, it will be a good study …”

“Dangerous things like this, no permission, Princess,”

“That’s right. If you have extra baggage, it’s only a burden for the Knights”

Assisting knight apprentices who are not well-organized to show the actual battle of the Knights is a study, but it is impossible to bring apprentices that only get in the way in that fierce battle.

At least I thought it would be nice to have a video camera, but I was drinking tea and waiting.

Dermuel comes back with his armor tightly and wearing a cloak. Then the priest returns with armor and a cloak.

“Let me wait. I’m going to the Knights Training Center”

I ran through a blizzard so that I couldn’t lose sight of the priest and Darmuel’s cloak with Rycharda and an escort knight apprentice on the Lesser.

Arriving training ground already had knights. You can see that Father, Eckhart, and Lamprecht are lining up. I was surprised by the appearance of the Lesser, and I shook my hand.

“Let me wait”

全員 All the members spoke to the chief’s words. I also get off the Lesser and line up next to the Priest.

“The Lady of Ehrenfest prays to God and gives us a blessing”

When I proceeded to the front of the knights, I went out of the stap and raised my hand. Offering prayers to the hero of heroism, with magical power so that the blessings will be distributed to this number of people.

“God of fire, Leidenshaft belongs to everyone, so that everyone has the blessing of the hero of the hero, Angry”

The familiar blue light jumps out of the stap and falls on the Knights. Because of the large number of people, I used my magical power more than I expected, but I feel less tired than at the last battle with Schnetilum. After all, it seems that magical power is increasing because it was solved by Jureve.

“Thanks for the blessing of the saint. Don’t leave the north until the end of the subjugation. Watch out for the escort knight’s apprenticeship. Cornelius, are you good? Richarda, ask for our absence.”

“Huh!”

“I know, Ferdinand-sama”

I was told that I could go back to the castle first, and I boarded the Lesser with Richarda. There is an escort knight apprentice leading the way back to the castle. When I ran out of the cloak of Cornelius, Angelica, and Leonore, I heard a voice saying “Preparing for a sortie!”

When most of the Knights headed for subjugation, the number of escorts decreased, and me and Charlotte were forbidden from leaving the border north until the subjugation was completed.

Because there is no problem in being away from the north, I read and enjoyed tea with Charlotte … Maybe I spent the most relaxed feeling after waking up.

I still have tea with Charlotte. “I went back to the temple immediately after returning from the aristocracy, but when I came back I was busy socializing so I just wanted to have a tea party with my sister.” There is no way I can refuse it.

If you think about it, a tea party with only Charlotte and two people has been there since two years ago when he was disturbed by Villefried.

“In the past few days, my father and mother will stay in my room, so I used to look forward to the subjugation of the Lord in winter.”

It seems that it was a valuable few days to spend slowly with parents busy with socializing. I heard a story about that from Charlotte. The story of Melchior often comes out, but even though he is an infant, there is almost no figure of Villefleet. It was because I grew up in the eastern part of Veronica ’s life.

“It’s lonely to be so different in brothers and sisters”

“… I didn’t feel so lonely because it was natural. However, I was terribly jealous that my tough grandmother was very kind to my brother.”

Apparently, Charlotte was like a foster mother. My old tale is that I grew up in a temple, so I can’t speak ugly things. I don’t know the mother’s face, and my father asked me to take care of it.

‘No matter what I say, it seems that it will be out of place. When I answered a few words while remembering the setting, Charlotte changed the topic, thinking that it seems to be a painful topic that I do not want to remember.

“Tell me about the temple again. What would you like to do if your sister becomes a lord?”

“Can I not become a lord?”

“… It doesn’t mean that, but my teacher asked me how I would like to control the territory if I became a lord. I wanted to ask you a little. “

Do you feel like discussing your future dreams with your children? I thought about it when I heard Charlotte ’s story.

…… If I can rule, what kind of territory is decided!

“When I become the lord, I’ll make it a territory full of books. There are a lot of printing workshops, and it is the capital of the book where manuscripts I want to print are gathered one after another. Every day, every month, somewhere. New books were created in the workshops, obligated to contribute to the lords, and I got all the new books first, so I had to keep expanding and building the library. The number of territories is increasing, teaching people to read, spreading the enjoyment of reading, and reading books the way they like it … Oh, how wonderful! How happy! That is my ideal town. “[19459002 ]

… hahaha! ? Unpalatable! Dong was pulled!

Charlotte looks at me with a amazed face. It looks like a little too much heat.

“But of course, it’s a dream. I don’t think it’s possible to do it right away … I’m going to neglect my efforts to make it happen.”

“Your sister really likes books”

The face of Charlotte, who laughs with couscous, has a warm smile with a feeling of “unable elder sister”. The escort knight apprentices and side servants are also laughing, and Richard is completely amazed.

…… Oh hey, I failed. I should have given you a cooler answer! I don’t think of a cool answer! Someone’s model answer, please!

Talking about the activities of the Performance Improvement Committee at Aristocrat while listening to tea, listening to Charlotte’s children’s room this year.

With Richard, I arranged for two people to practice lace knitting and embroidery as a feshpeel and bride training by Richard, who seemed to have realized that I was overwhelmed. I ended up trying to show it.

I feel like I’m being manipulated to somehow good, but I can’t help it. I want to be a lovely sister for Charlotte. I want to think “Your sister is wonderful”.

I remembered the Reino period when I wanted to read a book and embroided with tingling flowers. He said, “Okay, I’ll do it. Close the book!” Basically, clothes are what you buy, there are printed fabrics, and you can embroidery on the sewing machine, but you can regain the memory of what you thought you didn’t have to do.

…… What was the usefulness of Okan Art that I thought was useful?

After several days of elegance and boredom, the main subjugation of winter seems to have ended, and it is clearly visible that the clear sky spreads.

The knights who look exhausted have returned and heard from Brother Cornelius that a holiday was given in turn, and a few more days passed.

By the time everyone returns to normal, I was able to work with Gibe Irkner to increase the paper mill so that I could start moving. Next year, Gutenberg and others will prepare to be able to increase to other territories, want materials for preparations to increase the printing workshop, the priest wants Irkner’s Nansave paper, etc. In a letter and hand it to Richarda asking the civilian to send it with the invitation.

By the way, the foster father also published a report describing the content of the discussion in the temple and the results of the meeting with Gibe Irkner. I think that the report is given by the chief priest, but it is said that the reporter should do it, and there is a possibility that the report from the priest’s point of view and my report from the merchant’s point of view are different.

Although it is called for discussions, Benno who are commoners are probably not allowed to answer directly. If only be ordered basically, how much it is possible to advance, it is better that had been through the story to the adoptive father like so as not too unreasonable pretend.

…… If the adoptive father swings away at the usual momentum and Benno-san fails, it will be a failure of Ehrenfest, not a merchant failure.

This is different from the previous case where only the top neck of the failed merchant was replaced, or the store was crushed and left to a new place. If you fail against a royal family or Klassenburg, the top neck you can replace is not a merchant, but an adoptive father.

…… Oh, scary, scary.

The knights have all returned, and everyday life at the castle has returned. I was allowed to enter and exit the main building about a week after I gave my blessing to the Knights.

Regarding the report, I was called to the foster father’s office.

“Rosemine, socially, everyone seems to have a headache, but the commercial relationship is really strong.”

“People have weaknesses and weaknesses”

…… It’s easier to talk to Pompon like downtown. Noble socializing is difficult.

The wording is too far away, and I still don’t understand the meaning or I get it a little off. I talked to my mothers at the tea party’s reflection meeting and realized that there was a little bit of misinterpretation. Because each other makes a detour, it is terrible that even if the interpretation remains misaligned, only the conversation will be established without any sense of incongruity.

“Up to two territories can be contracted as a business partner. Can I increase more than that?”

“In terms of Linshan and hair ornaments, it seems that the number of workshops has increased due to the popularity of Ehrenfest nobility, but I don’t know how many customers will increase when contracted with large territories.

Primarily expected from the ratio of students at Aristocratic House, but if there are few territories to contract and basically low-priced products, there will be many merchants who want to secure a lot as a business opportunity.

“There is no original or child to make the contracted party dissatisfied by the lack of goods. Also, there is no increase in workshops due to the contract magic of plant paper. If the number of business partners increases in the future, wouldn’t it be because you violated the contract between the lords? ”

The voice of my heart, “I think that Aub Ehrenfest will be blamed at the next lord meeting,” seems to have arrived.

The foster fathers and other civilians who would accompany the lord meeting were asked.

“I understand the reason for carefully selecting the contract partner. Another thing, here is the merchant who actually exchanges things, so it is better to add downtown to the information gathering place to head to the lord meeting. But … ”

“Yes”

“I think it was exactly as it was written in their report. But even if the clerk didn’t have a meeting with the merchant, if they ordered, they would move as they were. I said that I had never been, and I was reluctant to collect information from the downtown area. ”

“… A civilian who likes to go to downtown is quite special.”

A civilian who is happily heading for downtown knows only one person. I can understand that nobles never want to stop by because they are smelly and dirty.

“I’m sure it’s better to collect information in the downtown area, but I think it’s better to have the town under the leadership of the government as soon as possible. I heard from the merchants entering and leaving the Rosemine workshop. However, the town of Ehrenfest is dirty and unattractive for other merchants. ”

“… Is the downtown area beautiful?”

The downtown area is dirty. There is no help for it because it is a place where ordinary people live. The adoptive father, who would have been conscious of that, narrowed his eyes. The same was true for the civil servants on the side of the adoptive father.

“I don’t know the rest, so I don’t know it. It’s a story from a traveling merchant who travels around the town, so I don’t think it’s a complete mistake.”

“… Fumu”

“So far, nobles and merchants from other territories have rarely visited, and only those who knew the state of Ehrenfest. But from now on, merchants from the center and Krasenburg It seems … “

The lord of the lord of the aristocratic district sued that this might reduce the evaluation of the product, but it does not seem to come to the civilians.

“The downtown area is different from the aristocratic town. As always, should I have aristocrats in the aristocratic town, Rosemine?”

違 っ Unlike the civilian, the foster father who had actually walked and looked around the downtown area would understand what I wanted to say, looking up at the civilians while raising their lips It was.

“Despite a promise to visit, no grooming, not enough of the promised goods, a noble with a side serving the guest from the garden to the entrance and the corridor full of mud “If the only room you visit and the Lord are beautiful, will you be evaluated correctly?” Rosemine says so. ”

The civilian turned to his foster father as if he was relieved.

A person from another territory passes through the downtown area before entering the noble town. The people of this town are called aristocratic towns and downtowns, and they are considered to be completely separated.

Writer officials tightened their expressions as an accurate example of an adopted father.

“I understand. You need to make it beautiful as soon as possible.”

… Yeah.

“Do you have to expel all the commoners once and rebuild the city?”

…… Eh? What is it?

“Because there is not much room for magic, it’s hard to rebuild the city. How do you design it for the time being?”

…. If you leave it to the foster father and the civilian, you will feel something dangerous about the city’s maintenance!

“Wait. Let’s start with a range where we can do it, such as giving the common people salary and scavenging filth, cleaning the city, mandateing hand-washing and bathing.

“That’s right. As Rosemine says, there isn’t enough room to remodel for the downtown area.

…… No, I’m not talking about magic.

Thanks to the lack of magical power, Ehrenfest seems to have settled in the direction of avoiding the dramatic and sudden down town before / after and improving it.

Exhales with relief. I never thought that a little suggestion would be like this. It was about to become the second dance of Hasse’s small temple. Dangerous, dangerous.

The merchants came to the bell of the third day, a few days after the day when it seemed a little successful to get the civilians to be aware of Ehrenfest, including down town. .

In advance, after receiving materials from Printemps Shokai and looking through it, it was decided that only Printemps Shokai would go up to the castle from the morning, and others would come from the afternoon. .

“Some civil officers will be present. I want to see how you interact with the merchants.”

Even if we know that it is necessary to collect information from the downtown area, it has only been ordered so far, so it seems that we do not know how to respond.

“It seems to be worth checking if the young man is being manipulated like a merchant. I refused because it was unnatural to decline. Be careful. ”

The Shitamachi relationship is my greatest weakness, and the priest screams with a voice that cannot be heard by others.

“If you touch it, you can’t predict how you will runaway. As Elvira realizes that Rosemine doesn’t want to break the contract magic with emphasis on the connection with the Printemps firm, Don’t realize the importance to you …. it will put them at risk. “

Can you predict what will happen if a partner with bad feelings knows your weaknesses? I asked and asked.

“Never hold back your emotions until you return to the temple”

“… Yes”

When I and the priest took their escort knights and side servants and entered the room where the three of the Printemps Chambers were waiting, there were already four civilians lined up. And on the spot, it seems that Gibe Irkner and Victor were also called, and I can see them sitting in a chair and waiting.

After finishing a lengthy greeting, I received the material I had requested from the Printemps Shokai and read it. Meanwhile, through the Printemps firm, the chief was buying Nansave paper.

Benno’s materials were carefully written about preparations in Haldenzell and the setup when I opened the workshop. This meticulous character is Marc’s. If you print this and give it to Gibe, they will make the necessary preparations in each area.

“Thanks to the materials from Printemps Shokai, it seems that we will be able to decide where the next printing workshop will be established, and we know exactly how to prepare the paper manufacturing workshop. 19459002]

“What’s more useful for Rosemine”

“Gutenberg’s move to Haldenzell is in line with the Spring Prayer Ceremony, and three craftsmen who are teachers in the workshops ready to make paper mills around the country and the Ehrenfest paper. We will arrange the personnel to create the association.Three people from Irkner, Hasse and Orphanage will all serve as teachers, is the Plantin Shokai OK? ”

The paper mill will be sent after the workshop and tools are ready. It is not immediately possible to make a girder or have tools and craftsmen. Perhaps you will return to Haldenzell and head for the paper mill.

“It’s okay. I’m glad you consider it.”

And I tell you that I requested to have two contracted territories based on the amount that can be produced in the document.

I met Benno while feeling the serious eyes of the civilians. I was able to communicate smoothly with the letter. Until Benno makes it difficult to say, “Can the contract magic be resolved?”

“Yes. After all, considering the fact that the industry has to be spread throughout the Ehrenfest and sold to other territories, it would be a contract that doesn’t match the current situation. That’s what Aub Ehrenfest thinks.”

“ I was laughing and laughing, being careful not to harden my face.

The first contract signed is definitely discarded. Many people are in trouble if they need to get my permission, not the lord, to set up a workshop when they want to grow up as a territory industry, and sales must go through the Printemps Chamber of Commerce.

Talk about the amount to be paid instead of canceling the contract and the future treatment of Printemps Shokai.

“I can’t stand thanks to Aub Ehrenfest.”

“I’m looking forward to the future Printemps firm”

Lutz’s face behind Benno has no emotion. I was looking at me with the laughter of the merchant I had been wearing.

Talks from the afternoon with the addition of the guild leader and Otto were very easy. It is a discussion that only confirms what has been discussed so far, with the presence of a lord. Merchants who are not allowed to answer directly will only hear from the civilians as a decision. Still, it seems that it was completely different from the past in that it was possible to make a meeting first and the opinions of the merchants were informed. It is not an aristocratic no-brainer, but a command within the possible range.

“Please sign here”

The last issue was a parchment to unlock contract magic. The paper has only two simple contract magic numbers and a concise sentence to release it.

Sign your name and press the same blood pressure as you signed. After Benno and Lutz, only I was given a pen who could sign with magic from a civilian and wrote his name. Not Rose Mine, not Mine at the time of contract.

When I finished the sign, the parchment burns in a golden flame. The contract between Mine, Lutz, and Benno ceased to burn.

It seems that the thin connections are cut off, the important grounds are moving away, and my heart is shaken by anxiety. I would like to ask Benno and Lutz, “If the contract disappears, the connection will not change?” I can’t help but want a solid answer that doesn’t change.

I remember that I was told to suppress my emotions until I went back to the temple, and I put a lot of effort into my stomach.

“Fum. Do not have any problems expanding the paper and printing industries”

“Because the cause of the stagnation of the establishment of the workshop is gone”

The voices of the civilians who agreed with Aub Ehrenfest’s voice resonated in my ears.
