13 Episode 13 New Year

"Hey Almus. I can't come here this next full moon night. I'm busy preparing for the New Year."

"Eh! Yeah, the New Year? Of course there is."

I had forgotten.

The only thing that tells you when is the sun's height, temperature, and plant growth.

that's true. Of course there is a new year.

Even so, the fact that there is a New Year in winter is here in the Northern Hemisphere. A little relieved.

No, wait. It is slightly doubtful that there is a calendar from the cultural level.

Is it a solar calendar or a lunar calendar in the first place?

"Well, on what basis do you determine your calendar?"

"Um, it was the movement of the sun? I don't know the details. It was imported from abroad."

Indeed, I was convinced.

that's right. It is a mystery that astronomy is developing at this cultural level.

Still foreign?

The foreign countries mentioned here are not countries in this region, but countries that are beyond the sea.

Certainly the Greeks were saying what to do.

There are large differences in development between regions.

Let's remember.

"What? What do you do to celebrate the New Year?"

"Yeah ... I guess I'm going to kill a fattened pig especially just for this day and eat it in gods. We'll have to pursue the exorcism and the barriers. I don't have the gender, but this preparation is troublesome. "

got it……

Is Julia an extraordinarily hard work because she is a magician?

Really. Pig?

There are no unfortunate pigs. There are cows but they are an important labor ...

Do you substitute a deer?

Then we have to find deer together.

"Speaking of which, there is no shrine maiden in the village of Almus?"

"Well, how about that, because they were abandoned children? If you're a shrine maiden, they won't be abandoned.

I refrain from prying at the children's past.

So I don't know what skills they have.

The most anxious thing is the tetra ...

He might be able to do something like a shrine maiden. somehow.

"I can't help it. Will I go?"

"You don't have to overdo it?"

Somehow, though, I can tell that Julia is a crazy guy.

She is quite rich because she prepares salt every month. I don't know why I'm here.

And a sorcerer.

The New Year is going to be hard. In this world of magical skills, the New Year may be more busy than Japanese religions.

I don't feel the need to force them to do anything that doesn't matter.

"No, you're good, you're worried about the other child. That's what faith is."

Well, is that so?

I don't know.

"But you're a shrine maiden but it's plain."

Isn't it usually more confident? A shrine maiden or a magician.

"It's surprising that a magician is like that. I have faith. I can't use the barrier without prayer thanking God. I think I respect God more than ordinary people. But he doesn't believe in delusions. Surprisingly, God is inflexible. Whether he believes or saves it depends on his mood and price, so it will inevitably become pale. "

Depends on mood and price ...

It looks like a griffon. No, is it always like God?

"What is Griffon so respected?"

"Let's put on your way. He's a pillar of God, the beast. Well, he doesn't do anything special, but he doesn't do anything bad ... but he's powerful. There's no doubt that a long time ago, you've won a fight against a dragon with a guard against storms and lightning, and in the aftermath of that battle, many forests blew away, mountains disappeared, and the sea was torn And"

"Is it a monster?"

I mean, it's a great destruction of nature.

In my image,

God, "Take care of nature more. Humans who destroy nature need retribution. The great flood!"

It's like that.

After all it is an illusion.

that's true. Creatures who don't care about people are not interested in grass and trees.

I don't know if God enters the creature.

"Ah, but one week later?"

"I don't mind. This is the side to come."

Now I can introduce Yulia to everyone.

"But, by the way, will you come to my village from now on? I'll pick you up. I want you to teach me magic."

"Hmm, do the magic ... I want some money ..."

"How about telling math?"

"I can do it, right?"

"So what about 1555 + 20000?"

"Um ... so many numbers ..."

"The answer is 21555. I can't. The Tetra child I teach can already divide."

"Gunnununu ... OK, it's a deal."

He seemed convinced.

By the way, the only thing you can do is Tetra, and not the other kids.

I was deceived well.

______________

"Yes, everyone. My name is Julia, who always takes care of Almus."

Julia was bright and greeted in front of the children.

Today Yulia was dressed differently.

Pure white with purple embroidery in some places.

Somehow similar to Japanese shrine maiden clothing.

Dyes are very expensive in this world. In other words, it turns out that the clothes are quite expensive.

"Are you listening?"

"It's good! Well ... Ron?"

Ron got up and asked Julia.

"What is your relationship with the leader?"

"I am a lover!"

Julia hugged my arm.

Hey, don't say anything! !

"Sure!"

"awesome!"

"I'm enviable ... with such a beautiful person!"

"Such ... I'm against such a beautiful person ..."

"I'm sorry ..."

The children start to buzz.

"... Hey, Almus ... Is it true now?"

Wow, scary!

Tetra, how do you make such a scary voice?

"It's Yulia's prank. Hey, don't you say weird things!"

"Ahahaha. I just want to ridicule a little. But can I be in such a relationship?"

Julia winks at me and leaves.

Tetra stepped on, staring at me.

"It hurts ... don't get so angry."

"Hmm"

Tetra turns away.

"Let's do the ceremony again. Let's do a pig if possible.

"I prepared a deer instead. I drained the blood."

"Well, I'm actually killing alive ... well, well, then Almus. I repeat the words I'm going to say and then cut off my head with my sword."

Roger that.

I hold an iron sword.

"Well then. Many gods and spirits in the heavens, the earth, and the sea. Thank you for having been able to live this year, thank you for offering. Hopefully we will continue to watch over us. ...... "

I followed Yulia's words and cut off the deer's neck with a sword.

I don't have much blood since I have already bled.

"Then the offering ceremony is over. The next step is to purify!"

"What should I do?"

"Let's wash our body for now, because we've been tainted by death now."

I see.

Certainly, performing a ritual after killing a beast is bad luck.

"I'll ask the girl first."

"Almus. Don't look into it."

"I'm good?"

"You can't look into it. It's not a little erotic to see the body of a ten year old."

I'm just normal.

that? But it's funny to be excited by the body of a girl of the same age ...

_______________

"I'm going to do an exorcism ceremony."

"... Fast, it's cold and enemy."

It's too cold because I entered the river in midwinter.

Yulia says that hot water is useless.

Irrational.

"Now, immediately"

Julia held her hand.

When Julia mutters, her hand glows pale.

After a while, my body got warmer.

"this is……"

"It's a kind of treatment that raises body temperature. It's just a temporary thing."

Is there such a technique?

But it's just a matter of raising the body temperature.

Or are there other advanced techniques?

Julia will do the same for everyone after I'm done.

The color of fatigue does not even show fine dust. As expected.

"Then I'll do the ritual of dance next."

"What does that mean?"

"A barrier is set up in the field. It's just light."

Julia says and stands in front of the field.

"Then watch it quietly, it will end soon."

Yulia said so and took a fan and bell-like object in her hand and began to dance.

Phosphorus, phosphorus, phosphorus

The bell rings.

Julia sings and dances to the bell.

Sometimes bold, sometimes delicate.

A shrine maiden outfit based on a beautiful fan and white shakes.

The bell resonates with the movement, and Yulia's throat trembles.

Its voice is more beautiful than any bird or insect.

Reminiscent of a quiet and clean lake surface.

Yulia's purple-red (lavender) hair sways.

My gaze is naturally nailed to Julia.

Are you working on the magic of fascination?

No, only Yulia is beautiful. Too beautiful.

Nothing seemed so beautiful.

The time passes that can be felt forever.

When he notices, Julia has finished dancing.

Some silence, and crackling applause.

"How did you review it?"

Julia came to me.

Beautiful……

I saw Yulia's face and thought so.

It is mean. I was affirming that it was not a lolicon.

Now I feel sexual appeal to Yulia.

"It was so beautiful. It looks like this time again."

When I said that, Julia turned her face red.

"That's such a straight ball ..."

Each other turns their faces red and descends.

It is So Young who broke the silence.

"Hey? Please come again! I want to see your dance again!"

"Me, me too!"

Rosward goes along.

"Of course! I'll tell you what. I've been asked by Alums to teach you spells. And if you call, I'll dance when the wheat is harvested. There is another dance !!!! "

A crowd gathers around Yulia.

Apparently it seems familiar.

Good, good.

"urea"

Tetra calls on Julia.

Nature and children open the way.

"I'll give you a win this time ... but I won't give up on mathematics."

"Fufu. I'm good. I'll catch up and defeat immediately."

Stare at each other.

And laughed.

Suddenly, my kids and I have eyes.

"nice to meet you"

"Likewise"

The two shook hands.

...... It seems that friendship has been established.
