「フラン、工房へ行って灰色神官を三人、それから、ヴィルマ以外の側仕えを呼んできてくださる？」
“Fran, would you like to go to the workshop for three gray priests and then call me a side other than Virma?”
「マイン様はどうなさるのですか？」
「図書室で神官長から預かった目録に目を通して、分類について考えておきます」
“What will Mine do?”
図書室に入ると、フランが机までの間にある資料を重ねて道を作ってくれた。わたしを座らせて、神官長から借り受けた目録の木札二枚を置くと、足早に図書室を出ていく。
フランの背中を見送った後、わたしは誰もいなくなった図書室の中で神官長の目録に目を通し始めた。本人がわかればそれで良いという感じで書かれた木札には、細かい字でぎっちりと書き連ねられている。
“Think about classification by looking through the catalog from the priest in the library.”
「どれどれ？ 神官長が神殿に持ちこんだもの……って、多いっ！？」
その量は非常に多く、鎖に繋がれた本の半分と本棚の資料一段分以上が神官長の私物になるくらいの量があった。
When I entered the library, Fran made a path by stacking the materials between the desks. When I sit down and put two wooden bills that I borrowed from the chief priest, I leave the library quickly.
……神官長って、何者！？
とりあえず、目が眩むようなお金持ちであることだけは、よくわかった。以前、事情があって神殿に入ったと言っていたが、実家はよほど上流でお金があるようだ。そうでなければ、一つ購入するにも大金貨が何枚も必要になるような本を5冊も神殿に持ちこめるはずがない。
After seeing Fran’s back, I began to read the catalog of the chief in the library where no one was left. The wooden cards written with the feeling that it is good if you know them are written in fine letters.
表紙が皮張りで、金や宝石をあしらっているような本は、普通私物ではなく、家宝になると思う。それを神官長は5冊も私物として神殿に持ち込み、こうして鎖につないで公開してくれているのだ。それがわかっただけで、わたしの神官長への好感度がぐぐんと上がる。
「こんなに本を持ちこんで見せてくれるなんて、神官長が良い人すぎる……」
“Which? What the priest brought in the temple … is that much?”
わたしは目録を見て、大体の分類番号を振った後、分類番号の割合から、本棚の分類番号を考えようと思っていたが、突然壁にぶつかった。
「……魔術に関する資料って、どこに分類したらいいんだろう？」
The amount was so large that half of the books connected to the chain and one or more books on the bookshelf were private items for the priest.
困ったことに日本十進分類法に、魔術という項目はない。しかし、貴族しか扱えない分野のためか、研究が必要な分野なのか、神官長の私物の中では魔術に関する資料が一番多い。
わたしは書字板に日本十進分類法を書き出してみる。
…… Who is the priest! ?
0 総記 （図書館、図書、百科事典、一般論文集、逐次刊行物、団体、ジャーナリズム、叢書）
1 哲学 （哲学、心理学、倫理学、宗教）
For the time being, it was well understood that he was rich with dazzling eyes. I used to say that I entered the temple because of circumstances, but my parents seem to have money upstream. Otherwise, you can’t bring as many as five books to the temple that would require many large coins to buy one.
2 歴史 （歴史、伝記、地理）
3 社会科学 （政治、法律、経済、統計、社会、教育、風俗習慣、国防）
I think that a book with a leather cover and gold or jewels is usually not a private item but a heirloom. The priest has brought five books to the temple as private items, and thus has shown them in a chain. Just knowing that, my liking to the chief of priests goes up a lot.
4 自然科学 （数学、理学、医学）
5 技術 （工学、工業、家政学）
“The chief is too good to show me so many books …”
6 産業 （農林水産業、商業、運輸、通信）
7 芸術 （美術、音楽、演劇、スポーツ、諸芸、娯楽）
I looked at the catalog, assigned a general classification number, and then thought about the classification number of the bookshelf from the ratio of the classification number, but suddenly hit the wall.
8 言語
9 文学
“… Where should I classify magical materials?”
魔術具を作ることを考えれば、5の技術だろうか。それとも、ここでは4の数学や理学と同じ扱いにした方が良いのだろうか。分類法を導入するにしても、常識が違えばなかなか難しい。
「とりあえず、資料を見てから考えよう。あの中にあるんだろうし……」
Unfortunately, there is no magic item in the Japanese decimal classification. However, there are the most resources related to witchcraft among the priesthood’s personal belongings, whether it is a field that only aristocrats can handle or a field that requires research.
わたしは床に散乱した資料の数々を見つめて、ニヨッと顔が笑うのを押さえられなかった。
だって、魔術だよ？ 初めて見る本物の魔術だよ？ どんなことが書かれているのか、想像するだけで胸が高鳴ってときめくじゃない？
I try to write Japanese decimal classification on a writing board.
魔術に関する物以外は、普通に分類できそうなので、皆が到着したら、まずは資料を重ねて、足場を作ってもらう。その後、本棚に第一次区分の分類番号を振って、ざっと目を通した資料を第一次区分で棚に並べる。今日のうちにそこまで終わらせたい。
そして、後日、ゆっくりと書誌事項を目録にまとめて、きっちりと細分化した分類番号順に並べていけばいい。第二次区分はかなり改造しなければ使えないだろう。
0 General remarks (library, books, encyclopedia, general papers, serials, organizations, journalism, series)
「もー！ これは一体何ですの！？」
聞き慣れた叫び声に扉の方を見ると、デリアが目を吊り上げて怒っていた。わたしの部屋を綺麗に保つことを仕事にしているデリアは、散らかしたら怒る。そんなデリアにとって、図書室の惨状は許しがたいものに違いない。
1 Philosophy (Philosophy, Psychology, Ethics, Religion)
デリアの後ろには他の側仕え達と灰色神官3人の姿があり、どの顔も図書室の惨状に唖然としているのがわかった。
「すげぇな、これ。誰がやったか知らないけど、マイン様を相手に命知らずなヤツ……」
2 History (History, biography, geography)
本に向けるわたしの想いを知っているギルの言葉にフランがそっと胃の辺りを押さえた。
「フラン、どうしたの？ お腹でも痛いのかしら？」
3 Social Science (Politics, Law, Economy, Statistics, Society, Education, Customs, National Defense)
「……犯人の末路を考えると、少し」
まさかフランが胃を痛めるほど犯人の末路を心配しているとは思わなかった。わたしは頬に手を当てて、「困ったわ」と首を傾げる。
4 Natural Sciences (Mathematics, Science, Medicine)
「フランの胃が痛くなるのでしたら、血祭りは中止した方が良いかしら？ 敵に対する見せしめと味方の士気を上げられる上に、主としての威厳を見せつける良い機会かと思ったのですけれど」
「ちょ、マイン様！ それ、味方の士気上がらねぇから！ 恐怖に凍りつくって！」
5 Technology (Engineering, Industry, Home Economics)
わたしの言葉に側仕えを初め、灰色神官達が顔を引きつらせてザッと一斉に後ずさった。フランだけはわたしの眼前までやってきて跪き、わたしの両手を取って懇願し始めた。
「ぜひ、中止してください。すでにマイン様は十分な威圧感をお持ちです」
6 Industries (Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, commerce, transportation, communications)
「そぉ？」
あまりに真剣な目でフランが言うので、血祭りは中止することにした。血祭りより、図書室のお片付けの方が楽しいので、問題はない。
7 Art (art, music, drama, sports, arts, entertainment)
「では、血祭りはひとまず中止して、今日はここを片付けます。まず、手順を説明しますね。決して、資料を踏まないように気を付けて、紙の資料と木札の資料に分けて、こちらの机に積み上げていってください。まずは本棚に向かって道を作るように資料を片付けてくださいね」
「はい」
8 languages
声の揃った返事に軽く頷きながら、わたしはその後の仕事について説明する。
「積まれた資料はフランとわたくしで分類していくので、言った番号の棚に資料を並べてください。左の本棚の一番上が0、二段目から1、一番下の段は空けておいてくださいね。右の本棚が上から二つが2で、その下が3です。それ以外の資料については最後に片付けます。棚に並べる資料の順序は問いません。番号だけ間違えないように気を付けてください。では、始めましょう」
9 Literature
床に散らばる資料を集め出したけれど、フランだけはわたしの隣に腰を下ろす。他の者とは違う仕事を割り振られたフランは、困惑したように目を瞬かせた。
「マイン様、分類とは一体？」
If you think about making magic tools, is it 5 techniques? Or is it better to treat it like the mathematics and science of 4 here? Even if taxonomies are introduced, it is difficult if common sense is different.
「これ！ マイン十進分類表です。これを見て、資料がどの番号か決めてください。迷ったら声をかけてくれれば答えます」
わたしはフランに書字板を渡して、分類方法の説明をした。
“For now, let’s think after looking at the material. It must be in that …”
その間に拾って重ねられた紙や木札が机に積まれていく。フランとわたしは手元に届く資料にざっと目を通していき、第一次区分の分類番号順に分けていく。
「ロジーナ、本棚までの道ができたら、これを1の棚に入れてちょうだい」
I stared at the materials scattered on the floor and could not hold my face laughing.
「かしこまりました、マイン様」
予想はしていたことだが、神殿の資料なので、どうしても1哲学の割合が大きい。2歴史や3社会科学も比較的多い。特に目を引くのは、各農村での収穫量や供物の量が記された統計資料だ。しかし、昔の物ばかりで最近のものが全く見当たらない。
Is it magic? Isn’t this the first time you see real magic? [Isn’t it just imagining what is written?
そして、8言語に相当する資料は一つもなく、9文学もない。
「デリア、巻物に紙が挟まっています！ 気を付けて」
Since things other than magic are likely to be classified normally, when everyone arrives, first pile up the materials and ask them to make a scaffold. After that, the classification number of the primary section is assigned to the bookshelf, and the materials that have been read are arranged on the shelf in the primary section. I want to end that today.
「あたしが巻いてる時に勝手に入ってこないでよ、もー！」
指摘された恥ずかしさか、紙を取り除いて、巻物をコロコロしながらデリアが怒鳴った。そんなデリアの周囲に散らばる紙を、ロジーナがくすくすと笑いながら拾って回る。
Then, at a later date, bibliographic items should be slowly compiled into an inventory, and arranged in the order of precisely classified classification numbers. The second division would not be usable unless it was significantly modified.
巻物は入れる場所がハッキリと決まっているので、わたし達が分類する必要もない。巻物を退けた途端、床が広く見え始めた。
「ギル、ここの資料を2の近くにいる神官に渡してちょうだい」
“Wow! What is this?”
「おぅ！」
撒き散らかされている資料は本の形態になっていないものばかりだ。しかも、書類の大きさも統一されていないので、バラバラである。
When I looked at the door with a familiar cry, Delia lifted her eyes and was angry. Delia, whose job is to keep my room clean, gets angry when messy. For Delia, the misery of the library must be unforgivable.
書類を整理するボックスやファイルが大量に欲しい。へろんと倒れようとする羊皮紙と格闘している灰色神官を見て、そう思った。ブックエンドさえ見当たらない。
「ヨハンに頼んでみようかしら？」
Behind Delia is the appearance of the other side servants and three gray priests, all of whom were found stunned by the misery of the library.
「マイン様？」
「いえ、何でもありません。ロジーナ、この木札をあの灰色神官に渡してちょうだい。これで羊皮紙を押さえるように言ってあげて」
“Sorry, this. I don’t know who did it, but the guy who doesn’t know Mine-sama …”
「かしこまりました」
図書室中がめちゃくちゃになっているように見えたけれど、神殿長と神官長、二人の鍵がなければ開かない貴重本が入った棚は開いていなかったし、鎖に繋がれた本に傷を付けたり乱暴に扱ったりしたような跡もみられなかった。本当に資料を散らかしただけの嫌がらせだ。
Fran gently pressed the stomach in the words of Gill who knew my feelings towards the book.
二つの本棚が空っぽになっていて、広範囲に渡って散らかっていたので、資料が大量にあるように思えた。けれど、巻物を片付けて、資料をまとめて重ねてみれば、意外と量は少ない。わたしとフランが分類しなければならない紙や木札はそれほど多くなかった。
「……これで終わりなの？」
“Fran, what’s wrong? Is my stomach hurting?”
机の上に紙も木札もなくなったことが不思議で、わたしは首を傾げた。
「はい。予想外に早く片付きました。この分類は手早く片付けられて良いです」
“… a little when considering the end of the criminal”
「今は第一次区分で大まかに分けただけです。これからは資料を探しやすいように、もっと細分化する予定です。ここの実情に合わせた分類番号が必要になるので、番号を振るのが大変ですけれど、やりがいはありますね」
フランが安心したように笑って立ち上がったので、わたしも立ち上がってぐるりと辺りを見回した。本当に床に散らかっていた資料は全て棚の中に収まっている。
I didn’t think I was worried about the culprit’s end so far as Fran hurt my stomach. I put my hand on my cheek and tilted my head, “I was in trouble.”
しかし、神官長の資料を入れるつもりだった棚には何も入っていない。片付けが終わったのに、神官長の目録に載っていた魔術関係の資料が一つも見当たらなかった。
「マイン様、どうかなさいましたか？」
“If the stomach of Fran hurts, is it better to stop the blood festival? I thought it would be a good opportunity to show off to the enemy and raise the morale of allies, but to show the dignity of the Lord.”
フランの声にハッと我に帰ると、側仕えと灰色神官が並んでわたしの言葉を待っていた。仕事が終わったことをハッキリと告げて、解散させなくてはならない。
19459002]
「皆様の協力で図書室は片付きました。ありがとう。助かりました」
“Cho, Mine! Because you don’t have the morale of your allies! Freeze in fear!”
フランが神官長に図書室の鍵を返しに行くと言ったので、わたしも一緒に神官長の部屋へ行くことにする。魔術関係の資料に関して、話を聞きたい。
「本日の結果を報告して、この目録もお返ししなくてはならないでしょう？ それに、お伺いしたいこともできましたから」
¡Grey priests began to serve my words and dragged their faces back and forth. Only Franc came to my eyes and began to beg with my hands.
「お伺いしたいこととは何でしょうか？」
「この目録に書かれている資料が見当たりませんでした。どこか別の場所で保管されているのではあれば問題ありませんけれど、紛失しているなら大変な事でしょう？」
“Please stop. Mine already has enough intimidation.”
フランがざっと青ざめた。もし、魔術関係の資料ばかりがごっそりと誰かに奪われていた場合、図書室の片付けをしたわたしが一番疑われる対象になる。貴重本の棚にも鎖で繋がれた本にも被害はなかったので、そこまで悪辣な事をしていないと思いたいが、確認はしておいた方が良い。
「一日に何度も君の顔を見たくはないのだが……」
“So?”
目録を返したいと理由を述べて入室するや否や、ハァ、と疲れた溜息を神官長が吐きだした。わたしだって神官長の顔が見たくて来ているわけじゃないよ、と心の中で反論しながら、笑顔で目録についての礼を述べる。
「神官長、目録を貸していただけて大変助かりました」
フ ラ ン Fran says so seriously that he decided to cancel the blood festival. There is no problem because cleaning up the library is more enjoyable than the blood festival.
「図書室の片付けは終わったのか？」
予想以上に早かったな、と神官長が呟く。当たり前だ。貴重な資料をあのまま放置するなんてできるわけがない。
“The blood festival will be canceled for the time being, and I’ll clean it up today. First, I’ll explain the procedure. Be careful not to step on the materials, and divide them into paper materials and wooden bill materials. Please put them on this desk, and first put away the materials to make a way to the bookshelves. ”
「第一次区分での分類は終わりました。第二次区分、第三次区分については追々やっていきます。ところで、これらの資料が見当たらなかったのです。神官長が別に保管しているならば、よろしいのですが、紛失や盗難ということになると問題があるかと思い、報告に参りました」
「それは私の部屋にあるから問題ない。……それにしても、マイン。君はあれだけの資料の中から、目録の資料がないことが何故わかった？」
“Yes”
「分類番号を振るために身構えていたのに、一つもなかったからです」
それだけではなく、麗乃時代には見たことがない、本物の魔術関係の資料だ。ぜひとも読んでみたいと待ちかまえていたのに一つもなかったら誰でも気付く。
Talking about the answer, I explain the work after that.
それに、神官長はあれだけの資料と言うが、麗乃時代の記憶があるわたしにとっては、それほど多いとは感じなかった。
「分類番号とは何だ？」
“As the materials stacked are classified by francs and me, line up the materials on the shelf with the number I mentioned. The top of the left bookshelf is 0, the second to the first, the bottom Please keep the steps open, the right bookshelf is 2 from the top, and the bottom is 3. The rest of the books will be cleaned up last.The order of the materials on the shelf doesn’t matter. Be careful not to make a mistake, let ’s get started. ”
「マイン十進分類法です。本を整理するために使うんです」
そう答えながら、わたしは書字板を取り出した。中にはまだフランに見せるために書いた分類法が残っている。
I gathered materials scattered on the floor, but only Fran sits down next to me. Fran, who was assigned a different job from the others, blinked his eyes as if confused.
「わたくし、魔術に関しては全く知識がないので、4自然科学に分類するか、5技術に分類するか、悩んでいまして、資料の内容を見てから決めようと思っていたのです」
「ほぉ……。これはなかなか興味深いが、君が考えたのか？」
“Mine, what is classification?”
神官長が目を細めて、疑わしそうにわたしを見る。その疑いは正しい。わたしにこんな素敵な物が生み出せるはずがない。
「いいえ、メルヴィル・デューイさんのデューイ十進分類法を元に、色々いじった日本十進分類法を更にわたしがいじったので、マイン十進分類法なんです」
“This! Mine decimal classification table. Look at this and decide what number the document is. If you get lost, answer me.”
「メルヴィル・デューイ？ どこの何者だ？ 聞いたことがないぞ」
「もうお亡くなりになってますから、わたしも直接は存じません。そんなことより、神官長はどちらに魔術を分類しますか？」
I handed a letter board to Franc and explained the classification method.
書字板を示しながら、わたしは神官長に魔術の分類番号について相談する。神官長は意外と真剣に考えているようで、「基礎魔術の部分は……」とか「いや、しかし、魔術具となると……」とか小さな呟きを洩らしながら、軽く目を伏せる。
わたしがわくわくして答えを待っていると、ハッと我に帰ったらしい神官長がコホンと咳払いして、首を振った。
The paper and wooden bills picked up and stacked in the meantime are stacked on the desk. Fran and I go through the materials that arrive at hand and sort them by the classification number of the primary division.
「資料によるとしか言えぬし、君が悩む必要はない」
「……何故ですか？ 分類番号を振らないと整理できないのですよ？」
“Rosina, if you have a way to the bookshelf, put it in one shelf”
首を傾げるわたしの前に、神官長がゆるりと周囲を見回して、コトリと盗聴防止の魔術具を置いた。わたしはそれを握って、神官長の言葉を待つ。
「魔術は貴族のみが扱うものだ。貴族院を卒業していない青色神官の目に触れさせるべきではないので、魔術に関する資料を図書室に置くつもりはない」
“I’m smart, Mine”
なるほど、隠し部屋に積まれている資料が魔術関係に違いない。そう納得すると同時に、不思議になった。今の神官長の言い方では、まるで青色神官が貴族ではないようだ。
「貴族のみが扱うって……青色神官は貴族なんですよね？」
As expected, since it is a temple document, the proportion of one philosophy is large. There are relatively 2 history and 3 social sciences. Particularly noteworthy are statistical materials that show the amount of harvest and offering in each rural area. However, there are no old ones at all.
「正確には貴族の血を引き、魔力を持つ者だ。貴族院を卒業しなければ、一人前の貴族として貴族社会では認められない」
「あれ？ でも、青色神官や巫女は貴族社会に戻っていったって……」
And there is no material corresponding to 8 languages, and there is no 9 literature.
実家に引き取られてから貴族院とやらに行ったのだろうか。孤児院や工房で灰色神官の前の主について聞いた話によると、貴族社会に戻っていった青色の中には成人していた神官や巫女もいたはずだ。
「あまりにも数が減って貴族の数が必要になったため、一定の期間だけ例外的に貴族院への編入を認められたのだ。それでも、貴族院を卒業していない者は貴族社会において貴族と認められないという前提は崩れなかった。貴族院に入らなくても、実家の権力はあるので、平民から見れば神官も貴族も大した違いはないだろうが……明確に違うのだ」
“Delia, paper is stuck in the scroll! Be careful”
麗乃時代の知識と青色神官達の振る舞いから、貴族の血を引いていれば、普通に貴族だと思っていた。貴族院卒業という条件があるなら、神殿の青色神官は全員貴族ではないことになる。
「……卒業しなければ貴族ではないなんて、貴族社会って、意外と厳しいのですね」
“Don’t come in when I’m winding it!”
「そうか？ 魔力という巨大な力を振るうのだ。制御の仕方、使い方、魔術具の作り方、何も知らぬ者に貴族の称号は与えられぬ。それだけの話だ。……故に、いくら泣きわめいて懇願されても、君に資料を見せることはできない。見せる気もない。以上だ」
最後に特大の釘を刺されてしまった。どうやら、魔術関係の資料を見たいというのがわたしの一番の願いだったと、神官長には最初から気付かれていたらしい。
Delia yelled at the embarrassment that was pointed out, removing the paper and rolling the scroll. Rosina picks up the paper scattered around Delia and laughs around.
「神官長～……」
「駄目だと言ったら駄目だ。早く自分の部屋に帰りなさい」
Scrolls are clearly located where they need to be placed, so we don’t need to classify them. As soon as I left the scroll, the floor began to look wide.
凍りつくような冷たい目で睨まれたわたしは、魔術具を返してしょんぼりと肩を落として退室する。
……ちぇ、魔術関係の資料、見たかったな。神官長のいけず。
“Gill, give this document to a priest near 2”
わたしが部屋に戻ると、工房の仕事を終えていたらしいトゥーリとルッツが一階の小ホールで待っていてくれた。
「マイン、おかえり」
“Wow!”
「トゥーリ、ルッツ。お待たせ」
わたしも二人と一緒に小ホールの椅子に腰を下ろす。
The only material that is scattered is not in book form. Moreover, the size of the documents is not uniform, so it is disjoint.
「デリア、お茶を入れてもらっていいかしら？」
「かしこまりました」
I want a lot of boxes and files to organize documents. When I saw a gray priest fighting a parchment that was about to fall down, I thought so. I don’t even find a bookend.
デリアが厨房の方へと向かうのを見送った後、わたしは二人に視線を向けた。
「トゥーリ、ルッツ、本は完成した？」
“Are you going to ask Johan?”
「孤児院のヤツら、針に触るのも初めてだったからな。できあがったのは半分くらいだ」
ルッツの言葉にトゥーリが大きく頷いた。
“Mine-sama?”
「そうそう。全員が初めて針に触るなんて、わたしの方がビックリしちゃったよ。……でも、針に触ったことがなくて、裁縫道具もないから、裾が解れていても直せないんだね。教えてあげた方が良くない？」
工房で働く時の子供達は森に行く時用の安い中古服で作業している。そのため、袖や裾が解れている事は珍しくない。ただ、下町の子供達と違って、直すことができないのだ。
“No, nothing. Rosina, give this wooden bill to that gray priest. Tell me to hold down the parchment.”
わたしは人に教えられるほど裁縫が得意ではないし、どう仕様もなくボロボロになったら雑巾にして、次の中古服を買えばいいと思っていた。
「……トゥーリが教えてくれるなら、裁縫道具は準備するよ。わたしはここでは基本的に働いちゃダメだし、上手じゃないから……」
“I’m smart”
「確かに、マインに教えられても上達しないね。裾のまつり縫いだけでもできれば、ずいぶん違うと思うから、裁縫道具を準備して上げて」
生活の基本である料理も裁縫もできないということがトゥーリには信じられないのだろう。料理教室の先生を頼んだ時のような、心配そうな顔をしている。
Although it seemed that the whole library was messed up, the shelves with precious books that could not be opened without the keys of the temple head and the chief priest were not open and connected to the chain There were no signs that the book was scratched or treated roughly. It’s really harassment that just cluttered the material.
「トゥーリとエラが教えてくれたおかげで、今はスープが作れるようになってるもん。今度はトゥーリ先生の裁縫教室だね」
「知らないよりは知ってる方が良いじゃない」
The two bookshelves were empty and messy over a wide area, so it seemed that there were a lot of materials. However, if you clear the scrolls and stack the materials together, the amount is surprisingly small. There were not many papers and wooden cards that I and Fran had to classify.
先生と言ってからかわれたことに、トゥーリが少し唇を尖らせる。その後、少し視線を落とした。
「……ここの子供達はちょっと文字が読めるんだよね？ 製本している時にところどころ読んでたもん。孤児院にいる小さい子が文字を読めるなんて、ちょっとショックだった」
“…… Is this the end?”
「あの子達はカルタで遊んでいるからね。トゥーリも今度一緒に遊べばいいよ」
カルタは文字を覚えることにとても貢献しているようだ。子供用聖典はカルタの言葉を全て入れてあるので、孤児院の子供達にとっては取っ付きやすい。
I wondered that there was no paper or wooden cards on the desk, and I leaned my head.
けれど、神殿関係者以外にとってはあまり取っ付きやすいものではないと思う。まずはベンノに見せて反応を見たい。
「ルッツ、ベンノさんに渡す献本って準備できた？」
“Yes. I cleared up unexpectedly quickly. This classification can be cleared quickly.”
「あぁ、お世話になった人に渡す分はできたから持ってきたぜ」
ルッツが得意そうな顔で、4冊の本を取り出した。きちんと四つ目綴じにされた本を手に取って、わたしは喜びに浸る。
“Now I’ve only roughly divided it into the first division. From now on, we will further subdivide it so that it is easy to find materials. We will need a classification number that matches the actual situation here. It ’s hard to shake, but it ’s worth it. ”
「わぁ、ありがとう！ 明日、ベンノさんのところへ一緒に渡しに行こうね」
「おぅ」
franc laughed and stood up with peace of mind, so I stood up and looked around. All the material that was really scattered on the floor is in the shelf.
「……神官長はまた面会依頼のお手紙書かなきゃ」
ベンノは基本的にふらっと行っても会えるし、いなくてもマルクに渡すこともできる。
However, there is nothing on the shelf that was intended to contain the Priest’s materials. Even after the cleanup was over, I didn’t find any magic-related material in the Priest’s catalog.
しかし、神官長に渡そうと思ったら、面会依頼の手紙から始めなければならない。面会できるまでに日数がかかるので、早目に面会依頼の手紙だけは出しておかなくてはならないのだ。
「マイン様、ロジーナに代筆させましょうか？」
“How about you, Maine?”
質問系ではあるが、フランの表情や言葉の端々から「ロジーナが実際にできるかどうか試したい」という空気が漏れている。書面を代筆するのは側仕えの仕事なので、事情を知っている神官長宛ての手紙で練習した方が良いだろう。わたしの時と同じように、ミスがあれば、きっちり添削して返してくれるはずだ。
「そうね。ロジーナに任せてみましょう」
When I came back to the voice of Fran, I was waiting for my words alongside the side servant and the gray priest. You must be told that you have finished your work and be disbanded.
「かしこまりました」
ロジーナがピクリと身動ぎしたが、ニコリと優雅に笑って了承した。わたしも見習わなければならない。
“With the help of everyone, the library was cleared up. Thank you. I was saved”
ふと、デリアが羨ましそうにロジーナを見ていることに気が付いた。新しい仕事を任されるのが、羨ましくて仕方ないように見える。
ギルは工房に係わっているので、新しい商品を作ればそれだけで新しい仕事が増えるし、フランはわたしの活動範囲によって仕事が増減する。ロジーナは書類仕事が得意ではないが、できないわけではないので、必然的にフランの仕事が回されて増えていく。この部屋から動かないデリアだけが、足踏みしている状況に思えるのだろう。
franc tells the priest to return the library key, so I will go to the priest’s room together. I want to hear about magical materials.
……文字も数字も頑張って覚えようとしているんだけどね。
孤児院の子供達という競争相手がいるギルの方が覚えは早い。いくら努力しているつもりでも成長が感じられなくて、ちょっと焦るデリアの気持ちはわかる。わたしも成長しなくて同じ年のルッツに置いて行かれている気分になる時が多々あるからだ。
“I’ll have to report today’s results and return this catalogue? And I could have asked you”
……褒め足りてないかな？
ギルはわかりやすく結果を報告してきて、「褒めて」と訴えてくるから褒めやすいけれど、デリアは当たり前の顔で日々の仕事をこなすので、褒めどころが難しい。日々の仕事を真面目にするって、一番大事ですごい事だけれど、改めて褒める機会は少ないのだ。
“What do you want to ask?”
「デリア、これは神官長に渡す分だから、執務机の引き出しに入れておいてちょうだい」
「えぇ、わかりました」
“I couldn’t find the material in this catalogue. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was stored somewhere else, but would it be a problem if it was lost?” ]
受け取ったデリアの手の上に、わたしはもう一冊の本を置く。
「それから、これは皆の分です。この小ホールに置いてくれる？ 一番にデリアが読んで感想をくれると嬉しいです」
Francs turned pale. If only magic-related materials were taken away by someone, I would be the most suspected person after cleaning the library. There was no damage to the shelves of the valuable books or the books connected with the chain, so I wouldn’t think I was doing anything wrong, but it is better to check.
「……あたしが一番？」
目を瞬くデリアにわたしはゆっくりと頷いた。
“I don’t want to see your face many times a day …”
「えぇ。工房の仕事をしてくれたのはギルだけれど、デリアがいなかったらこの部屋は維持できなかったもの。完成品を一番に見てほしいわ」
「そ、そうね。あたしのお陰ですもの！」
As soon as he entered the room with a reason to return the catalogue, the chief priest exhaled a tired sigh. I express my appreciation for the catalog with a smile, arguing in my heart that I don’t want to see the face of the chief priest.
デリアがツンと顎を上向かせ、本を胸に抱いて、足早に階段を上がっていく。その様子を見る皆の目が柔らかく細められていた。
“The Priest, it was a great help to lend me an inventory”
“Did the library clear up?”
The Priest said, it was faster than expected. No wonder. There is no way you can leave precious materials as they are.
“Classification in the first division is over. The second and third divisions will be continued. By the way, these materials were not found. If so, I thought it would be a problem if it was lost or stolen, and I went to report. “
“It’s no problem because it’s in my room …. But Mine. Why did you know that there wasn’t a catalog of materials out of that one?”
“Because I was dressed to give a classification number, but none”
Not only that, it’s a real magic-related document that I have never seen in the Reino period. Anyone notices if there is nothing even though I waited to read it.
Also, the chief priest says that it is just that, but for me who has a memory of the Reino period, I didn’t feel it was too much.
“What is a classification number?”
“Mine decimal taxonomy. Used to organize books.”
While answering that, I took out the writing board. There is still a taxonomy that I wrote to show it to Franc.
“I don’t have any knowledge about magic, so I was wondering whether it would be classified into 4 natural sciences or 5 technologies, and I decided to decide after looking at the contents of the materials.
“Well … This is pretty interesting, but did you think?”
The priest squints and looks at me suspiciously. The suspicion is correct. I can’t make such a wonderful thing.
“No, based on Melville Dewey’s Dewey Decimal Classification, I messed with the Japanese Decimal Classification that I messed with, so it’s the Mine Decimal Classification”
“Melville Dewey? Who are you? I’ve never heard of it.”
“I don’t know directly because I’m dead. From that, which priest does the magic categorize?”
Talking to the chief priest about magic classification numbers, showing the writing board. The chief priest seems to be thinking seriously, and with a small whispers such as “The basic magic part …” or “No, but when it comes to magical tools …”, he turns his eyes lightly.
When I was thrilled and waiting for the answer, the chief priest who seemed to have returned to me coughed with Cohon and shook his head.
“I can only say that it depends on the material, you don’t have to worry”
“… Why is it? You can’t organize it without assigning a classification number?”
In front of me leaning down, the head of the priest loosely looked around and placed a magic tool to prevent eavesdropping and wiretapping. I hold it and wait for the priest’s words.
“Magic is only handled by aristocrats. I don’t intend to put materials on sorcery in the library because I shouldn’t let the blue priests who have not graduated from the aristocracy to see them.”
I see, the materials in the hidden rooms must be magical. At the same time, I was wondering. According to the current priesthood, the blue priest is not a nobleman.
“Only aristocrats handle … blue priests are aristocrats?”
“Accurately, it draws the blood of the nobility and has magical power. If you do not graduate from the aristocracy, you will not be recognized as a noble in aristocratic society.
“That? But the blue priests and shrine maidens have returned to aristocracy …”
Did you go to the Aristocracy after being taken over by your parents? According to a story I heard about the Lord in front of the gray priest at the orphanage and workshop, there must have been adult priests and shrine maidens in the blue that returned to the aristocracy.
“The number of nobles was reduced and the number of nobles needed, so it was exceptionally allowed to be transferred to the aristocracy for a certain period of time. The premise that society is not recognized as an aristocrat has not changed, and even if you do not enter the aristocracy, there is power of the parents’ home, so from the ordinary people there will be no significant difference between the priest and the aristocrat, but … clearly different
From the knowledge of the Reno period and the behavior of the blue priests, if I was drawing the blood of an aristocrat, I thought I was a noble. If there is a requirement for graduation from the aristocracy, all the blue priests in the temple are not aristocrats.
“… Aristocratic society is surprisingly tough if it’s not a noble without graduating”
“Oh ?? I’m waving a huge power called magical power. How to control, how to use, how to make magical tools, no one knows the title of a nobleman. That’s it …. No matter how much I cry and beg, I can’t show you the materials, I don’t want to show them.
Finally, an oversized nail was stabbed. Apparently, the chief priest seemed to have noticed from the beginning that my biggest wish was to see the magical materials.
“Principal ~ …”
“If you say no, you can’t. Go back to your room early.”
I was engulfed with icy cold eyes, returned my magical tool, dropped my shoulders, and left the room.
…… Che, I wanted to see magical materials. The priest ’s mess.
When I returned to my room, Turi and Lutz, who seemed to have finished the workshop, waited in a small hall on the first floor.
“Mine, Welcome Home”
“Turi, Lutz. Please wait”
I also sit down on a chair in a small hall with them.
“Delia, would you like to have tea?”
“I’m smart”
After seeing Delia heading towards the kitchen, I looked at them.
“Turi, Lutz, book completed?”
“The orphans were the first to touch the needle. About half were done”
Turi sang in Lutz’s words.
“That’s right. I was surprised that everyone touched the needle for the first time …. But I’ve never touched the needle and I don’t have a sewing tool, so I can’t fix it even if the hem is loose. Is n’t it better to tell them? ”
Children working in the workshop are working on cheap used clothes for going to the forest. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the sleeves and hems to be removed. However, unlike the children in the downtown area, it cannot be fixed.
I was not good at sewing enough to be taught to people, and I thought I should buy a second-hand apparel as a rag if I was tattered without any specifications.
“… If Turi tells me, I’ll prepare the sewing tools. I’m basically not working here, and I’m not good at it …”
“Sure, it doesn’t improve even if you are taught by Mine. If you can do just the hem of the hem, it will be very different, so prepare your sewing tools.”
Turi cannot believe that cooking and sewing, which are the basics of life, are impossible. He has a worried face, like when he asked a teacher in a cooking class.
“Turi and Ella have taught me so I can make soup now. This time, it is Seuri’s sewing class.”
“You know better than you don’t know”
Turi sharply sharpens his lips after being teased by saying “teacher”. After that, I dropped a little glance.
“… the kids here can read a little ?? I was reading a lot when I was binding. It was a little shocking that a small child in an orphanage could read the letter.”
“They are playing with Carta. Turi should play together next time.”
Carta seems to have contributed greatly to memorizing letters. The children’s scriptures contain all the words of Carta and are easy for children in orphanages.
However, I don’t think it’s easy for non-tempered people. First, I want to show Benno and see the reaction.
“Lutz, are you ready to give a book to Benno?”
“Oh, I brought it because I was able to give it to the person who took care of it.”
I took out four books with a face that Lutz seems to be good at. I’m immersed in joy when I pick up the book that is properly bound in the fourth stitch.
“Wow, thank you! Let’s go to Benno together tomorrow.”
“Rice”
“… the chief must write a letter for a visit again”
Benno can be met basically even if he / she goes happily, or can be given to Marc even if he / she is not.
However, if you want to give it to the priest, you must start with a letter of request for a visit. Since it takes days before you can meet, you have to send out a letter of requesting a visit early.
“Mine, would you let Rosina write?”
Although it is a question system, the air of “I want to test if Rosina can actually do” is leaking from the face of Fran’s face and words. It is better to practice with a letter addressed to the chief who knows the situation, since writing the letter is a side-serving job. As with my time, if there is a mistake, it should be corrected and returned.
“Yes, let’s leave it to Rosina”
“I’m smart”
Rosina moved quickly, but laughed and acknowledged graciously. I must also be an apprentice.
Suddenly, I realized that Delia was looking at Rosina enviously. It seems enviable to be entrusted with a new job.
Gill is involved in the workshop, so if you make a new product, new jobs will increase, and Franc will increase or decrease the number of jobs depending on my range of activities. Rosina is not good at paperwork, but it is not impossible. Only Delia who does not move out of this room seems to be in a stepping situation.
…… I’m trying hard to learn both letters and numbers.
Gill, who has a competitor called children in an orphanage, is quicker to remember. No matter how hard you try, you can’t feel the growth, and you can see Delia ’s feelings. There are many times when I don’t grow up and feel like I’m in Lutz the same year.
… Isn’t it enough?
Gill and we have reported the results easy to understand, but easy to praise from coming complained that “praised”, because Delia do a day-to-day work in the natural face, it is difficult to far from a compliment. Serious about daily work is the most important thing, but there are few opportunities to give up again.
“Delia, this is what he gives to the priest, so put it in the office desk drawer”
“Yes, I understand”
I put another book on Delia’s hand.
“And this is for everyone. Will you put it in this small hall? I would be delighted if Deria would read and give feedback.”
“… I am the best?”
I slowly whispered to Delia blinking.
“Yeah, Gill did the job at the workshop, but this room couldn’t be maintained without Delia. I want the finished product to be seen first.”
“That’s right. Thanks to me!”
Delia raises her chin and chin, holds a book in her chest, and goes up the stairs quickly. The eyes of everyone watching the situation were softly narrowed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

「フラン、工房へ行って灰色神官を三人、それから、ヴィルマ以外の側仕えを呼んできてくださる？」
“Fran, would you like to go to the workshop for three gray priests and then call me a side other than Virma?”
「マイン様はどうなさるのですか？」
「図書室で神官長から預かった目録に目を通して、分類について考えておきます」
“What will Mine do?”
図書室に入ると、フランが机までの間にある資料を重ねて道を作ってくれた。わたしを座らせて、神官長から借り受けた目録の木札二枚を置くと、足早に図書室を出ていく。
フランの背中を見送った後、わたしは誰もいなくなった図書室の中で神官長の目録に目を通し始めた。本人がわかればそれで良いという感じで書かれた木札には、細かい字でぎっちりと書き連ねられている。
“Think about classification by looking through the catalog from the priest in the library.”
「どれどれ？ 神官長が神殿に持ちこんだもの……って、多いっ！？」
その量は非常に多く、鎖に繋がれた本の半分と本棚の資料一段分以上が神官長の私物になるくらいの量があった。
When I entered the library, Fran made a path by stacking the materials between the desks. When I sit down and put two wooden bills that I borrowed from the chief priest, I leave the library quickly.
……神官長って、何者！？
とりあえず、目が眩むようなお金持ちであることだけは、よくわかった。以前、事情があって神殿に入ったと言っていたが、実家はよほど上流でお金があるようだ。そうでなければ、一つ購入するにも大金貨が何枚も必要になるような本を5冊も神殿に持ちこめるはずがない。
After seeing Fran’s back, I began to read the catalog of the chief in the library where no one was left. The wooden cards written with the feeling that it is good if you know them are written in fine letters.
表紙が皮張りで、金や宝石をあしらっているような本は、普通私物ではなく、家宝になると思う。それを神官長は5冊も私物として神殿に持ち込み、こうして鎖につないで公開してくれているのだ。それがわかっただけで、わたしの神官長への好感度がぐぐんと上がる。
「こんなに本を持ちこんで見せてくれるなんて、神官長が良い人すぎる……」
“Which? What the priest brought in the temple … is that much?”
わたしは目録を見て、大体の分類番号を振った後、分類番号の割合から、本棚の分類番号を考えようと思っていたが、突然壁にぶつかった。
「……魔術に関する資料って、どこに分類したらいいんだろう？」
The amount was so large that half of the books connected to the chain and one or more books on the bookshelf were private items for the priest.
困ったことに日本十進分類法に、魔術という項目はない。しかし、貴族しか扱えない分野のためか、研究が必要な分野なのか、神官長の私物の中では魔術に関する資料が一番多い。
わたしは書字板に日本十進分類法を書き出してみる。
…… Who is the priest! ?
0 総記 （図書館、図書、百科事典、一般論文集、逐次刊行物、団体、ジャーナリズム、叢書）
1 哲学 （哲学、心理学、倫理学、宗教）
For the time being, it was well understood that he was rich with dazzling eyes. I used to say that I entered the temple because of circumstances, but my parents seem to have money upstream. Otherwise, you can’t bring as many as five books to the temple that would require many large coins to buy one.
2 歴史 （歴史、伝記、地理）
3 社会科学 （政治、法律、経済、統計、社会、教育、風俗習慣、国防）
I think that a book with a leather cover and gold or jewels is usually not a private item but a heirloom. The priest has brought five books to the temple as private items, and thus has shown them in a chain. Just knowing that, my liking to the chief of priests goes up a lot.
4 自然科学 （数学、理学、医学）
5 技術 （工学、工業、家政学）
“The chief is too good to show me so many books …”
6 産業 （農林水産業、商業、運輸、通信）
7 芸術 （美術、音楽、演劇、スポーツ、諸芸、娯楽）
I looked at the catalog, assigned a general classification number, and then thought about the classification number of the bookshelf from the ratio of the classification number, but suddenly hit the wall.
8 言語
9 文学
“… Where should I classify magical materials?”
魔術具を作ることを考えれば、5の技術だろうか。それとも、ここでは4の数学や理学と同じ扱いにした方が良いのだろうか。分類法を導入するにしても、常識が違えばなかなか難しい。
「とりあえず、資料を見てから考えよう。あの中にあるんだろうし……」
Unfortunately, there is no magic item in the Japanese decimal classification. However, there are the most resources related to witchcraft among the priesthood’s personal belongings, whether it is a field that only aristocrats can handle or a field that requires research.
わたしは床に散乱した資料の数々を見つめて、ニヨッと顔が笑うのを押さえられなかった。
だって、魔術だよ？ 初めて見る本物の魔術だよ？ どんなことが書かれているのか、想像するだけで胸が高鳴ってときめくじゃない？
I try to write Japanese decimal classification on a writing board.
魔術に関する物以外は、普通に分類できそうなので、皆が到着したら、まずは資料を重ねて、足場を作ってもらう。その後、本棚に第一次区分の分類番号を振って、ざっと目を通した資料を第一次区分で棚に並べる。今日のうちにそこまで終わらせたい。
そして、後日、ゆっくりと書誌事項を目録にまとめて、きっちりと細分化した分類番号順に並べていけばいい。第二次区分はかなり改造しなければ使えないだろう。
0 General remarks (library, books, encyclopedia, general papers, serials, organizations, journalism, series)
「もー！ これは一体何ですの！？」
聞き慣れた叫び声に扉の方を見ると、デリアが目を吊り上げて怒っていた。わたしの部屋を綺麗に保つことを仕事にしているデリアは、散らかしたら怒る。そんなデリアにとって、図書室の惨状は許しがたいものに違いない。
1 Philosophy (Philosophy, Psychology, Ethics, Religion)
デリアの後ろには他の側仕え達と灰色神官3人の姿があり、どの顔も図書室の惨状に唖然としているのがわかった。
「すげぇな、これ。誰がやったか知らないけど、マイン様を相手に命知らずなヤツ……」
2 History (History, biography, geography)
本に向けるわたしの想いを知っているギルの言葉にフランがそっと胃の辺りを押さえた。
「フラン、どうしたの？ お腹でも痛いのかしら？」
3 Social Science (Politics, Law, Economy, Statistics, Society, Education, Customs, National Defense)
「……犯人の末路を考えると、少し」
まさかフランが胃を痛めるほど犯人の末路を心配しているとは思わなかった。わたしは頬に手を当てて、「困ったわ」と首を傾げる。
4 Natural Sciences (Mathematics, Science, Medicine)
「フランの胃が痛くなるのでしたら、血祭りは中止した方が良いかしら？ 敵に対する見せしめと味方の士気を上げられる上に、主としての威厳を見せつける良い機会かと思ったのですけれど」
「ちょ、マイン様！ それ、味方の士気上がらねぇから！ 恐怖に凍りつくって！」
5 Technology (Engineering, Industry, Home Economics)
わたしの言葉に側仕えを初め、灰色神官達が顔を引きつらせてザッと一斉に後ずさった。フランだけはわたしの眼前までやってきて跪き、わたしの両手を取って懇願し始めた。
「ぜひ、中止してください。すでにマイン様は十分な威圧感をお持ちです」
6 Industries (Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, commerce, transportation, communications)
「そぉ？」
あまりに真剣な目でフランが言うので、血祭りは中止することにした。血祭りより、図書室のお片付けの方が楽しいので、問題はない。
7 Art (art, music, drama, sports, arts, entertainment)
「では、血祭りはひとまず中止して、今日はここを片付けます。まず、手順を説明しますね。決して、資料を踏まないように気を付けて、紙の資料と木札の資料に分けて、こちらの机に積み上げていってください。まずは本棚に向かって道を作るように資料を片付けてくださいね」
「はい」
8 languages
声の揃った返事に軽く頷きながら、わたしはその後の仕事について説明する。
「積まれた資料はフランとわたくしで分類していくので、言った番号の棚に資料を並べてください。左の本棚の一番上が0、二段目から1、一番下の段は空けておいてくださいね。右の本棚が上から二つが2で、その下が3です。それ以外の資料については最後に片付けます。棚に並べる資料の順序は問いません。番号だけ間違えないように気を付けてください。では、始めましょう」
9 Literature
床に散らばる資料を集め出したけれど、フランだけはわたしの隣に腰を下ろす。他の者とは違う仕事を割り振られたフランは、困惑したように目を瞬かせた。
「マイン様、分類とは一体？」
If you think about making magic tools, is it 5 techniques? Or is it better to treat it like the mathematics and science of 4 here? Even if taxonomies are introduced, it is difficult if common sense is different.
「これ！ マイン十進分類表です。これを見て、資料がどの番号か決めてください。迷ったら声をかけてくれれば答えます」
わたしはフランに書字板を渡して、分類方法の説明をした。
“For now, let’s think after looking at the material. It must be in that …”
その間に拾って重ねられた紙や木札が机に積まれていく。フランとわたしは手元に届く資料にざっと目を通していき、第一次区分の分類番号順に分けていく。
「ロジーナ、本棚までの道ができたら、これを1の棚に入れてちょうだい」
I stared at the materials scattered on the floor and could not hold my face laughing.
「かしこまりました、マイン様」
予想はしていたことだが、神殿の資料なので、どうしても1哲学の割合が大きい。2歴史や3社会科学も比較的多い。特に目を引くのは、各農村での収穫量や供物の量が記された統計資料だ。しかし、昔の物ばかりで最近のものが全く見当たらない。
Is it magic? Isn’t this the first time you see real magic? [Isn’t it just imagining what is written?
そして、8言語に相当する資料は一つもなく、9文学もない。
「デリア、巻物に紙が挟まっています！ 気を付けて」
Since things other than magic are likely to be classified normally, when everyone arrives, first pile up the materials and ask them to make a scaffold. After that, the classification number of the primary section is assigned to the bookshelf, and the materials that have been read are arranged on the shelf in the primary section. I want to end that today.
「あたしが巻いてる時に勝手に入ってこないでよ、もー！」
指摘された恥ずかしさか、紙を取り除いて、巻物をコロコロしながらデリアが怒鳴った。そんなデリアの周囲に散らばる紙を、ロジーナがくすくすと笑いながら拾って回る。
Then, at a later date, bibliographic items should be slowly compiled into an inventory, and arranged in the order of precisely classified classification numbers. The second division would not be usable unless it was significantly modified.
巻物は入れる場所がハッキリと決まっているので、わたし達が分類する必要もない。巻物を退けた途端、床が広く見え始めた。
「ギル、ここの資料を2の近くにいる神官に渡してちょうだい」
“Wow! What is this?”
「おぅ！」
撒き散らかされている資料は本の形態になっていないものばかりだ。しかも、書類の大きさも統一されていないので、バラバラである。
When I looked at the door with a familiar cry, Delia lifted her eyes and was angry. Delia, whose job is to keep my room clean, gets angry when messy. For Delia, the misery of the library must be unforgivable.
書類を整理するボックスやファイルが大量に欲しい。へろんと倒れようとする羊皮紙と格闘している灰色神官を見て、そう思った。ブックエンドさえ見当たらない。
「ヨハンに頼んでみようかしら？」
Behind Delia is the appearance of the other side servants and three gray priests, all of whom were found stunned by the misery of the library.
「マイン様？」
「いえ、何でもありません。ロジーナ、この木札をあの灰色神官に渡してちょうだい。これで羊皮紙を押さえるように言ってあげて」
“Sorry, this. I don’t know who did it, but the guy who doesn’t know Mine-sama …”
「かしこまりました」
図書室中がめちゃくちゃになっているように見えたけれど、神殿長と神官長、二人の鍵がなければ開かない貴重本が入った棚は開いていなかったし、鎖に繋がれた本に傷を付けたり乱暴に扱ったりしたような跡もみられなかった。本当に資料を散らかしただけの嫌がらせだ。
Fran gently pressed the stomach in the words of Gill who knew my feelings towards the book.
二つの本棚が空っぽになっていて、広範囲に渡って散らかっていたので、資料が大量にあるように思えた。けれど、巻物を片付けて、資料をまとめて重ねてみれば、意外と量は少ない。わたしとフランが分類しなければならない紙や木札はそれほど多くなかった。
「……これで終わりなの？」
“Fran, what’s wrong? Is my stomach hurting?”
机の上に紙も木札もなくなったことが不思議で、わたしは首を傾げた。
「はい。予想外に早く片付きました。この分類は手早く片付けられて良いです」
“… a little when considering the end of the criminal”
「今は第一次区分で大まかに分けただけです。これからは資料を探しやすいように、もっと細分化する予定です。ここの実情に合わせた分類番号が必要になるので、番号を振るのが大変ですけれど、やりがいはありますね」
フランが安心したように笑って立ち上がったので、わたしも立ち上がってぐるりと辺りを見回した。本当に床に散らかっていた資料は全て棚の中に収まっている。
I didn’t think I was worried about the culprit’s end so far as Fran hurt my stomach. I put my hand on my cheek and tilted my head, “I was in trouble.”
しかし、神官長の資料を入れるつもりだった棚には何も入っていない。片付けが終わったのに、神官長の目録に載っていた魔術関係の資料が一つも見当たらなかった。
「マイン様、どうかなさいましたか？」
“If the stomach of Fran hurts, is it better to stop the blood festival? I thought it would be a good opportunity to show off to the enemy and raise the morale of allies, but to show the dignity of the Lord.”
フランの声にハッと我に帰ると、側仕えと灰色神官が並んでわたしの言葉を待っていた。仕事が終わったことをハッキリと告げて、解散させなくてはならない。
19459002]
「皆様の協力で図書室は片付きました。ありがとう。助かりました」
“Cho, Mine! Because you don’t have the morale of your allies! Freeze in fear!”
フランが神官長に図書室の鍵を返しに行くと言ったので、わたしも一緒に神官長の部屋へ行くことにする。魔術関係の資料に関して、話を聞きたい。
「本日の結果を報告して、この目録もお返ししなくてはならないでしょう？ それに、お伺いしたいこともできましたから」
¡Grey priests began to serve my words and dragged their faces back and forth. Only Franc came to my eyes and began to beg with my hands.
「お伺いしたいこととは何でしょうか？」
「この目録に書かれている資料が見当たりませんでした。どこか別の場所で保管されているのではあれば問題ありませんけれど、紛失しているなら大変な事でしょう？」
“Please stop. Mine already has enough intimidation.”
フランがざっと青ざめた。もし、魔術関係の資料ばかりがごっそりと誰かに奪われていた場合、図書室の片付けをしたわたしが一番疑われる対象になる。貴重本の棚にも鎖で繋がれた本にも被害はなかったので、そこまで悪辣な事をしていないと思いたいが、確認はしておいた方が良い。
「一日に何度も君の顔を見たくはないのだが……」
“So?”
目録を返したいと理由を述べて入室するや否や、ハァ、と疲れた溜息を神官長が吐きだした。わたしだって神官長の顔が見たくて来ているわけじゃないよ、と心の中で反論しながら、笑顔で目録についての礼を述べる。
「神官長、目録を貸していただけて大変助かりました」
フ ラ ン Fran says so seriously that he decided to cancel the blood festival. There is no problem because cleaning up the library is more enjoyable than the blood festival.
「図書室の片付けは終わったのか？」
予想以上に早かったな、と神官長が呟く。当たり前だ。貴重な資料をあのまま放置するなんてできるわけがない。
“The blood festival will be canceled for the time being, and I’ll clean it up today. First, I’ll explain the procedure. Be careful not to step on the materials, and divide them into paper materials and wooden bill materials. Please put them on this desk, and first put away the materials to make a way to the bookshelves. ”
「第一次区分での分類は終わりました。第二次区分、第三次区分については追々やっていきます。ところで、これらの資料が見当たらなかったのです。神官長が別に保管しているならば、よろしいのですが、紛失や盗難ということになると問題があるかと思い、報告に参りました」
「それは私の部屋にあるから問題ない。……それにしても、マイン。君はあれだけの資料の中から、目録の資料がないことが何故わかった？」
“Yes”
「分類番号を振るために身構えていたのに、一つもなかったからです」
それだけではなく、麗乃時代には見たことがない、本物の魔術関係の資料だ。ぜひとも読んでみたいと待ちかまえていたのに一つもなかったら誰でも気付く。
Talking about the answer, I explain the work after that.
それに、神官長はあれだけの資料と言うが、麗乃時代の記憶があるわたしにとっては、それほど多いとは感じなかった。
「分類番号とは何だ？」
“As the materials stacked are classified by francs and me, line up the materials on the shelf with the number I mentioned. The top of the left bookshelf is 0, the second to the first, the bottom Please keep the steps open, the right bookshelf is 2 from the top, and the bottom is 3. The rest of the books will be cleaned up last.The order of the materials on the shelf doesn’t matter. Be careful not to make a mistake, let ’s get started. ”
「マイン十進分類法です。本を整理するために使うんです」
そう答えながら、わたしは書字板を取り出した。中にはまだフランに見せるために書いた分類法が残っている。
I gathered materials scattered on the floor, but only Fran sits down next to me. Fran, who was assigned a different job from the others, blinked his eyes as if confused.
「わたくし、魔術に関しては全く知識がないので、4自然科学に分類するか、5技術に分類するか、悩んでいまして、資料の内容を見てから決めようと思っていたのです」
「ほぉ……。これはなかなか興味深いが、君が考えたのか？」
“Mine, what is classification?”
神官長が目を細めて、疑わしそうにわたしを見る。その疑いは正しい。わたしにこんな素敵な物が生み出せるはずがない。
「いいえ、メルヴィル・デューイさんのデューイ十進分類法を元に、色々いじった日本十進分類法を更にわたしがいじったので、マイン十進分類法なんです」
“This! Mine decimal classification table. Look at this and decide what number the document is. If you get lost, answer me.”
「メルヴィル・デューイ？ どこの何者だ？ 聞いたことがないぞ」
「もうお亡くなりになってますから、わたしも直接は存じません。そんなことより、神官長はどちらに魔術を分類しますか？」
I handed a letter board to Franc and explained the classification method.
書字板を示しながら、わたしは神官長に魔術の分類番号について相談する。神官長は意外と真剣に考えているようで、「基礎魔術の部分は……」とか「いや、しかし、魔術具となると……」とか小さな呟きを洩らしながら、軽く目を伏せる。
わたしがわくわくして答えを待っていると、ハッと我に帰ったらしい神官長がコホンと咳払いして、首を振った。
The paper and wooden bills picked up and stacked in the meantime are stacked on the desk. Fran and I go through the materials that arrive at hand and sort them by the classification number of the primary division.
「資料によるとしか言えぬし、君が悩む必要はない」
「……何故ですか？ 分類番号を振らないと整理できないのですよ？」
“Rosina, if you have a way to the bookshelf, put it in one shelf”
首を傾げるわたしの前に、神官長がゆるりと周囲を見回して、コトリと盗聴防止の魔術具を置いた。わたしはそれを握って、神官長の言葉を待つ。
「魔術は貴族のみが扱うものだ。貴族院を卒業していない青色神官の目に触れさせるべきではないので、魔術に関する資料を図書室に置くつもりはない」
“I’m smart, Mine”
なるほど、隠し部屋に積まれている資料が魔術関係に違いない。そう納得すると同時に、不思議になった。今の神官長の言い方では、まるで青色神官が貴族ではないようだ。
「貴族のみが扱うって……青色神官は貴族なんですよね？」
As expected, since it is a temple document, the proportion of one philosophy is large. There are relatively 2 history and 3 social sciences. Particularly noteworthy are statistical materials that show the amount of harvest and offering in each rural area. However, there are no old ones at all.
「正確には貴族の血を引き、魔力を持つ者だ。貴族院を卒業しなければ、一人前の貴族として貴族社会では認められない」
「あれ？ でも、青色神官や巫女は貴族社会に戻っていったって……」
And there is no material corresponding to 8 languages, and there is no 9 literature.
実家に引き取られてから貴族院とやらに行ったのだろうか。孤児院や工房で灰色神官の前の主について聞いた話によると、貴族社会に戻っていった青色の中には成人していた神官や巫女もいたはずだ。
「あまりにも数が減って貴族の数が必要になったため、一定の期間だけ例外的に貴族院への編入を認められたのだ。それでも、貴族院を卒業していない者は貴族社会において貴族と認められないという前提は崩れなかった。貴族院に入らなくても、実家の権力はあるので、平民から見れば神官も貴族も大した違いはないだろうが……明確に違うのだ」
“Delia, paper is stuck in the scroll! Be careful”
麗乃時代の知識と青色神官達の振る舞いから、貴族の血を引いていれば、普通に貴族だと思っていた。貴族院卒業という条件があるなら、神殿の青色神官は全員貴族ではないことになる。
「……卒業しなければ貴族ではないなんて、貴族社会って、意外と厳しいのですね」
“Don’t come in when I’m winding it!”
「そうか？ 魔力という巨大な力を振るうのだ。制御の仕方、使い方、魔術具の作り方、何も知らぬ者に貴族の称号は与えられぬ。それだけの話だ。……故に、いくら泣きわめいて懇願されても、君に資料を見せることはできない。見せる気もない。以上だ」
最後に特大の釘を刺されてしまった。どうやら、魔術関係の資料を見たいというのがわたしの一番の願いだったと、神官長には最初から気付かれていたらしい。
Delia yelled at the embarrassment that was pointed out, removing the paper and rolling the scroll. Rosina picks up the paper scattered around Delia and laughs around.
「神官長～……」
「駄目だと言ったら駄目だ。早く自分の部屋に帰りなさい」
Scrolls are clearly located where they need to be placed, so we don’t need to classify them. As soon as I left the scroll, the floor began to look wide.
凍りつくような冷たい目で睨まれたわたしは、魔術具を返してしょんぼりと肩を落として退室する。
……ちぇ、魔術関係の資料、見たかったな。神官長のいけず。
“Gill, give this document to a priest near 2”
わたしが部屋に戻ると、工房の仕事を終えていたらしいトゥーリとルッツが一階の小ホールで待っていてくれた。
「マイン、おかえり」
“Wow!”
「トゥーリ、ルッツ。お待たせ」
わたしも二人と一緒に小ホールの椅子に腰を下ろす。
The only material that is scattered is not in book form. Moreover, the size of the documents is not uniform, so it is disjoint.
「デリア、お茶を入れてもらっていいかしら？」
「かしこまりました」
I want a lot of boxes and files to organize documents. When I saw a gray priest fighting a parchment that was about to fall down, I thought so. I don’t even find a bookend.
デリアが厨房の方へと向かうのを見送った後、わたしは二人に視線を向けた。
「トゥーリ、ルッツ、本は完成した？」
“Are you going to ask Johan?”
「孤児院のヤツら、針に触るのも初めてだったからな。できあがったのは半分くらいだ」
ルッツの言葉にトゥーリが大きく頷いた。
“Mine-sama?”
「そうそう。全員が初めて針に触るなんて、わたしの方がビックリしちゃったよ。……でも、針に触ったことがなくて、裁縫道具もないから、裾が解れていても直せないんだね。教えてあげた方が良くない？」
工房で働く時の子供達は森に行く時用の安い中古服で作業している。そのため、袖や裾が解れている事は珍しくない。ただ、下町の子供達と違って、直すことができないのだ。
“No, nothing. Rosina, give this wooden bill to that gray priest. Tell me to hold down the parchment.”
わたしは人に教えられるほど裁縫が得意ではないし、どう仕様もなくボロボロになったら雑巾にして、次の中古服を買えばいいと思っていた。
「……トゥーリが教えてくれるなら、裁縫道具は準備するよ。わたしはここでは基本的に働いちゃダメだし、上手じゃないから……」
“I’m smart”
「確かに、マインに教えられても上達しないね。裾のまつり縫いだけでもできれば、ずいぶん違うと思うから、裁縫道具を準備して上げて」
生活の基本である料理も裁縫もできないということがトゥーリには信じられないのだろう。料理教室の先生を頼んだ時のような、心配そうな顔をしている。
Although it seemed that the whole library was messed up, the shelves with precious books that could not be opened without the keys of the temple head and the chief priest were not open and connected to the chain There were no signs that the book was scratched or treated roughly. It’s really harassment that just cluttered the material.
「トゥーリとエラが教えてくれたおかげで、今はスープが作れるようになってるもん。今度はトゥーリ先生の裁縫教室だね」
「知らないよりは知ってる方が良いじゃない」
The two bookshelves were empty and messy over a wide area, so it seemed that there were a lot of materials. However, if you clear the scrolls and stack the materials together, the amount is surprisingly small. There were not many papers and wooden cards that I and Fran had to classify.
先生と言ってからかわれたことに、トゥーリが少し唇を尖らせる。その後、少し視線を落とした。
「……ここの子供達はちょっと文字が読めるんだよね？ 製本している時にところどころ読んでたもん。孤児院にいる小さい子が文字を読めるなんて、ちょっとショックだった」
“…… Is this the end?”
「あの子達はカルタで遊んでいるからね。トゥーリも今度一緒に遊べばいいよ」
カルタは文字を覚えることにとても貢献しているようだ。子供用聖典はカルタの言葉を全て入れてあるので、孤児院の子供達にとっては取っ付きやすい。
I wondered that there was no paper or wooden cards on the desk, and I leaned my head.
けれど、神殿関係者以外にとってはあまり取っ付きやすいものではないと思う。まずはベンノに見せて反応を見たい。
「ルッツ、ベンノさんに渡す献本って準備できた？」
“Yes. I cleared up unexpectedly quickly. This classification can be cleared quickly.”
「あぁ、お世話になった人に渡す分はできたから持ってきたぜ」
ルッツが得意そうな顔で、4冊の本を取り出した。きちんと四つ目綴じにされた本を手に取って、わたしは喜びに浸る。
“Now I’ve only roughly divided it into the first division. From now on, we will further subdivide it so that it is easy to find materials. We will need a classification number that matches the actual situation here. It ’s hard to shake, but it ’s worth it. ”
「わぁ、ありがとう！ 明日、ベンノさんのところへ一緒に渡しに行こうね」
「おぅ」
franc laughed and stood up with peace of mind, so I stood up and looked around. All the material that was really scattered on the floor is in the shelf.
「……神官長はまた面会依頼のお手紙書かなきゃ」
ベンノは基本的にふらっと行っても会えるし、いなくてもマルクに渡すこともできる。
However, there is nothing on the shelf that was intended to contain the Priest’s materials. Even after the cleanup was over, I didn’t find any magic-related material in the Priest’s catalog.
しかし、神官長に渡そうと思ったら、面会依頼の手紙から始めなければならない。面会できるまでに日数がかかるので、早目に面会依頼の手紙だけは出しておかなくてはならないのだ。
「マイン様、ロジーナに代筆させましょうか？」
“How about you, Maine?”
質問系ではあるが、フランの表情や言葉の端々から「ロジーナが実際にできるかどうか試したい」という空気が漏れている。書面を代筆するのは側仕えの仕事なので、事情を知っている神官長宛ての手紙で練習した方が良いだろう。わたしの時と同じように、ミスがあれば、きっちり添削して返してくれるはずだ。
「そうね。ロジーナに任せてみましょう」
When I came back to the voice of Fran, I was waiting for my words alongside the side servant and the gray priest. You must be told that you have finished your work and be disbanded.
「かしこまりました」
ロジーナがピクリと身動ぎしたが、ニコリと優雅に笑って了承した。わたしも見習わなければならない。
“With the help of everyone, the library was cleared up. Thank you. I was saved”
ふと、デリアが羨ましそうにロジーナを見ていることに気が付いた。新しい仕事を任されるのが、羨ましくて仕方ないように見える。
ギルは工房に係わっているので、新しい商品を作ればそれだけで新しい仕事が増えるし、フランはわたしの活動範囲によって仕事が増減する。ロジーナは書類仕事が得意ではないが、できないわけではないので、必然的にフランの仕事が回されて増えていく。この部屋から動かないデリアだけが、足踏みしている状況に思えるのだろう。
franc tells the priest to return the library key, so I will go to the priest’s room together. I want to hear about magical materials.
……文字も数字も頑張って覚えようとしているんだけどね。
孤児院の子供達という競争相手がいるギルの方が覚えは早い。いくら努力しているつもりでも成長が感じられなくて、ちょっと焦るデリアの気持ちはわかる。わたしも成長しなくて同じ年のルッツに置いて行かれている気分になる時が多々あるからだ。
“I’ll have to report today’s results and return this catalogue? And I could have asked you”
……褒め足りてないかな？
ギルはわかりやすく結果を報告してきて、「褒めて」と訴えてくるから褒めやすいけれど、デリアは当たり前の顔で日々の仕事をこなすので、褒めどころが難しい。日々の仕事を真面目にするって、一番大事ですごい事だけれど、改めて褒める機会は少ないのだ。
“What do you want to ask?”
「デリア、これは神官長に渡す分だから、執務机の引き出しに入れておいてちょうだい」
「えぇ、わかりました」
“I couldn’t find the material in this catalogue. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was stored somewhere else, but would it be a problem if it was lost?” ]
受け取ったデリアの手の上に、わたしはもう一冊の本を置く。
「それから、これは皆の分です。この小ホールに置いてくれる？ 一番にデリアが読んで感想をくれると嬉しいです」
Francs turned pale. If only magic-related materials were taken away by someone, I would be the most suspected person after cleaning the library. There was no damage to the shelves of the valuable books or the books connected with the chain, so I wouldn’t think I was doing anything wrong, but it is better to check.
「……あたしが一番？」
目を瞬くデリアにわたしはゆっくりと頷いた。
“I don’t want to see your face many times a day …”
「えぇ。工房の仕事をしてくれたのはギルだけれど、デリアがいなかったらこの部屋は維持できなかったもの。完成品を一番に見てほしいわ」
「そ、そうね。あたしのお陰ですもの！」
As soon as he entered the room with a reason to return the catalogue, the chief priest exhaled a tired sigh. I express my appreciation for the catalog with a smile, arguing in my heart that I don’t want to see the face of the chief priest.
デリアがツンと顎を上向かせ、本を胸に抱いて、足早に階段を上がっていく。その様子を見る皆の目が柔らかく細められていた。
“The Priest, it was a great help to lend me an inventory”
“Did the library clear up?”
The Priest said, it was faster than expected. No wonder. There is no way you can leave precious materials as they are.
“Classification in the first division is over. The second and third divisions will be continued. By the way, these materials were not found. If so, I thought it would be a problem if it was lost or stolen, and I went to report. “
“It’s no problem because it’s in my room …. But Mine. Why did you know that there wasn’t a catalog of materials out of that one?”
“Because I was dressed to give a classification number, but none”
Not only that, it’s a real magic-related document that I have never seen in the Reino period. Anyone notices if there is nothing even though I waited to read it.
Also, the chief priest says that it is just that, but for me who has a memory of the Reino period, I didn’t feel it was too much.
“What is a classification number?”
“Mine decimal taxonomy. Used to organize books.”
While answering that, I took out the writing board. There is still a taxonomy that I wrote to show it to Franc.
“I don’t have any knowledge about magic, so I was wondering whether it would be classified into 4 natural sciences or 5 technologies, and I decided to decide after looking at the contents of the materials.
“Well … This is pretty interesting, but did you think?”
The priest squints and looks at me suspiciously. The suspicion is correct. I can’t make such a wonderful thing.
“No, based on Melville Dewey’s Dewey Decimal Classification, I messed with the Japanese Decimal Classification that I messed with, so it’s the Mine Decimal Classification”
“Melville Dewey? Who are you? I’ve never heard of it.”
“I don’t know directly because I’m dead. From that, which priest does the magic categorize?”
Talking to the chief priest about magic classification numbers, showing the writing board. The chief priest seems to be thinking seriously, and with a small whispers such as “The basic magic part …” or “No, but when it comes to magical tools …”, he turns his eyes lightly.
When I was thrilled and waiting for the answer, the chief priest who seemed to have returned to me coughed with Cohon and shook his head.
“I can only say that it depends on the material, you don’t have to worry”
“… Why is it? You can’t organize it without assigning a classification number?”
In front of me leaning down, the head of the priest loosely looked around and placed a magic tool to prevent eavesdropping and wiretapping. I hold it and wait for the priest’s words.
“Magic is only handled by aristocrats. I don’t intend to put materials on sorcery in the library because I shouldn’t let the blue priests who have not graduated from the aristocracy to see them.”
I see, the materials in the hidden rooms must be magical. At the same time, I was wondering. According to the current priesthood, the blue priest is not a nobleman.
“Only aristocrats handle … blue priests are aristocrats?”
“Accurately, it draws the blood of the nobility and has magical power. If you do not graduate from the aristocracy, you will not be recognized as a noble in aristocratic society.
“That? But the blue priests and shrine maidens have returned to aristocracy …”
Did you go to the Aristocracy after being taken over by your parents? According to a story I heard about the Lord in front of the gray priest at the orphanage and workshop, there must have been adult priests and shrine maidens in the blue that returned to the aristocracy.
“The number of nobles was reduced and the number of nobles needed, so it was exceptionally allowed to be transferred to the aristocracy for a certain period of time. The premise that society is not recognized as an aristocrat has not changed, and even if you do not enter the aristocracy, there is power of the parents’ home, so from the ordinary people there will be no significant difference between the priest and the aristocrat, but … clearly different
From the knowledge of the Reno period and the behavior of the blue priests, if I was drawing the blood of an aristocrat, I thought I was a noble. If there is a requirement for graduation from the aristocracy, all the blue priests in the temple are not aristocrats.
“… Aristocratic society is surprisingly tough if it’s not a noble without graduating”
“Oh ?? I’m waving a huge power called magical power. How to control, how to use, how to make magical tools, no one knows the title of a nobleman. That’s it …. No matter how much I cry and beg, I can’t show you the materials, I don’t want to show them.
Finally, an oversized nail was stabbed. Apparently, the chief priest seemed to have noticed from the beginning that my biggest wish was to see the magical materials.
“Principal ~ …”
“If you say no, you can’t. Go back to your room early.”
I was engulfed with icy cold eyes, returned my magical tool, dropped my shoulders, and left the room.
…… Che, I wanted to see magical materials. The priest ’s mess.
When I returned to my room, Turi and Lutz, who seemed to have finished the workshop, waited in a small hall on the first floor.
“Mine, Welcome Home”
“Turi, Lutz. Please wait”
I also sit down on a chair in a small hall with them.
“Delia, would you like to have tea?”
“I’m smart”
After seeing Delia heading towards the kitchen, I looked at them.
“Turi, Lutz, book completed?”
“The orphans were the first to touch the needle. About half were done”
Turi sang in Lutz’s words.
“That’s right. I was surprised that everyone touched the needle for the first time …. But I’ve never touched the needle and I don’t have a sewing tool, so I can’t fix it even if the hem is loose. Is n’t it better to tell them? ”
Children working in the workshop are working on cheap used clothes for going to the forest. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the sleeves and hems to be removed. However, unlike the children in the downtown area, it cannot be fixed.
I was not good at sewing enough to be taught to people, and I thought I should buy a second-hand apparel as a rag if I was tattered without any specifications.
“… If Turi tells me, I’ll prepare the sewing tools. I’m basically not working here, and I’m not good at it …”
“Sure, it doesn’t improve even if you are taught by Mine. If you can do just the hem of the hem, it will be very different, so prepare your sewing tools.”
Turi cannot believe that cooking and sewing, which are the basics of life, are impossible. He has a worried face, like when he asked a teacher in a cooking class.
“Turi and Ella have taught me so I can make soup now. This time, it is Seuri’s sewing class.”
“You know better than you don’t know”
Turi sharply sharpens his lips after being teased by saying “teacher”. After that, I dropped a little glance.
“… the kids here can read a little ?? I was reading a lot when I was binding. It was a little shocking that a small child in an orphanage could read the letter.”
“They are playing with Carta. Turi should play together next time.”
Carta seems to have contributed greatly to memorizing letters. The children’s scriptures contain all the words of Carta and are easy for children in orphanages.
However, I don’t think it’s easy for non-tempered people. First, I want to show Benno and see the reaction.
“Lutz, are you ready to give a book to Benno?”
“Oh, I brought it because I was able to give it to the person who took care of it.”
I took out four books with a face that Lutz seems to be good at. I’m immersed in joy when I pick up the book that is properly bound in the fourth stitch.
“Wow, thank you! Let’s go to Benno together tomorrow.”
“Rice”
“… the chief must write a letter for a visit again”
Benno can be met basically even if he / she goes happily, or can be given to Marc even if he / she is not.
However, if you want to give it to the priest, you must start with a letter of request for a visit. Since it takes days before you can meet, you have to send out a letter of requesting a visit early.
“Mine, would you let Rosina write?”
Although it is a question system, the air of “I want to test if Rosina can actually do” is leaking from the face of Fran’s face and words. It is better to practice with a letter addressed to the chief who knows the situation, since writing the letter is a side-serving job. As with my time, if there is a mistake, it should be corrected and returned.
“Yes, let’s leave it to Rosina”
“I’m smart”
Rosina moved quickly, but laughed and acknowledged graciously. I must also be an apprentice.
Suddenly, I realized that Delia was looking at Rosina enviously. It seems enviable to be entrusted with a new job.
Gill is involved in the workshop, so if you make a new product, new jobs will increase, and Franc will increase or decrease the number of jobs depending on my range of activities. Rosina is not good at paperwork, but it is not impossible. Only Delia who does not move out of this room seems to be in a stepping situation.
…… I’m trying hard to learn both letters and numbers.
Gill, who has a competitor called children in an orphanage, is quicker to remember. No matter how hard you try, you can’t feel the growth, and you can see Delia ’s feelings. There are many times when I don’t grow up and feel like I’m in Lutz the same year.
… Isn’t it enough?
Gill and we have reported the results easy to understand, but easy to praise from coming complained that “praised”, because Delia do a day-to-day work in the natural face, it is difficult to far from a compliment. Serious about daily work is the most important thing, but there are few opportunities to give up again.
“Delia, this is what he gives to the priest, so put it in the office desk drawer”
“Yes, I understand”
I put another book on Delia’s hand.
“And this is for everyone. Will you put it in this small hall? I would be delighted if Deria would read and give feedback.”
“… I am the best?”
I slowly whispered to Delia blinking.
“Yeah, Gill did the job at the workshop, but this room couldn’t be maintained without Delia. I want the finished product to be seen first.”
“That’s right. Thanks to me!”
Delia raises her chin and chin, holds a book in her chest, and goes up the stairs quickly. The eyes of everyone watching the situation were softly narrowed.
The raws were pulled real-time from: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4830bu/119/Fran, would you like to go to the workshop for three gray priests and then call me a side other than Virma? What will Mine do? Think about classification by looking through the catalog from the priest in the library. When I entered the library, Fran made a path by stacking the materials between the desks. When I sit down and put two wooden bills that I borrowed from the chief priest, I leave the library quickly. 5After seeing Fran's back, I began to read the catalog of the chief in the library where no one was left. The wooden cards written with the feeling that it is good if you know them are written in fine letters. 5Which? What the priest brought in the temple is that much? The amount was so large that half of the books connected to the chain and one or more books on the bookshelf were private items for the priest. Who is the priest! ? 0 1 For the time being, it was well understood that he was rich with dazzling eyes. I used to say that I entered the temple because of circumstances, but my parents seem to have money upstream. Otherwise, you can't bring as many as five books to the temple that would require many large coins to buy one. 2 3 I think that a book with a leather cover and gold or jewels is usually not a private item but a heirloom. The priest has brought five books to the temple as private items, and thus has shown them in a chain. Just knowing that, my liking to the chief of priests goes up a lot. 4 5 The chief is too good to show me so many books 6 7 I looked at the catalog, assigned a general classification number, and then thought about the classification number of the bookshelf from the ratio of the classification number, but suddenly hit the wall. 8 9 Where should I classify magical materials? 54Unfortunately, there is no magic item in the Japanese decimal classification. However, there are the most resources related to witchcraft among the priesthood's personal belongings, whether it is a field that only aristocrats can handle or a field that requires research. I try to write Japanese decimal classification on a writing board. 0 General remarks library, books, encyclopedia, general papers, serials, organizations, journalism, series 1 Philosophy Philosophy, Psychology, Ethics, Religion 32 History History, biography, geography 3 Social Science Politics, Law, Economy, Statistics, Society, Education, Customs, National Defense 4 Natural Sciences Mathematics, Science, Medicine 5 Technology Engineering, Industry, Home Economics 6 Industries Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, commerce, transportation, communications 7 Art art, music, drama, sports, arts, entertainment 8 languages 01239 Literature If you think about making magic tools, is it 5 techniques? Or is it better to treat it like the mathematics and science of 4 here? Even if taxonomies are introduced, it is difficult if common sense is different. For now, let's think after looking at the material. It must be in that 1I stared at the materials scattered on the floor and could not hold my face laughing. 123Is it magic? Isn't this the first time you see real magic? Isn't it just imagining what is written? 89Since things other than magic are likely to be classified normally, when everyone arrives, first pile up the materials and ask them to make a scaffold. After that, the classification number of the primary section is assigned to the bookshelf, and the materials that have been read are arranged on the shelf in the primary section. I want to end that today. Then, at a later date, bibliographic items should be slowly compiled into an inventory, and arranged in the order of precisely classified classification numbers. The second division would not be usable unless it was significantly modified. 2Wow! What is this? When I looked at the door with a familiar cry, Delia lifted her eyes and was angry. Delia, whose job is to keep my room clean, gets angry when messy. For Delia, the misery of the library must be unforgivable. Behind Delia is the appearance of the other side servants and three gray priests, all of whom were found stunned by the misery of the library. Sorry, this. I don't know who did it, but the guy who doesn't know Mine-sama Fran gently pressed the stomach in the words of Gill who knew my feelings towards the book. Fran, what's wrong? Is my stomach hurting? a little when considering the end of the criminal I didn't think I was worried about the culprit's end so far as Fran hurt my stomach. I put my hand on my cheek and tilted my head, I was in trouble. If the stomach of Fran hurts, is it better to stop the blood festival? I thought it would be a good opportunity to show off to the enemy and raise the morale of allies, but to show the dignity of the Lord. 19459002Cho, Mine! Because you don't have the morale of your allies! Freeze in fear! Grey priests began to serve my words and dragged their faces back and forth. Only Franc came to my eyes and began to beg with my hands. Please stop. Mine already has enough intimidation. So? Fran says so seriously that he decided to cancel the blood festival. There is no problem because cleaning up the library is more enjoyable than the blood festival. The blood festival will be canceled for the time being, and I'll clean it up today. First, I'll explain the procedure. Be careful not to step on the materials, and divide them into paper materials and wooden bill materials. Please put them on this desk, and first put away the materials to make a way to the bookshelves. Yes Talking about the answer, I explain the work after that. As the materials stacked are classified by francs and me, line up the materials on the shelf with the number I mentioned. The top of the left bookshelf is 0, the second to the first, the bottom Please keep the steps open, the right bookshelf is 2 from the top, and the bottom is 3. The rest of the books will be cleaned up last.The order of the materials on the shelf doesn't matter. Be careful not to make a mistake, let 's get started. I gathered materials scattered on the floor, but only Fran sits down next to me. Fran, who was assigned a different job from the others, blinked his eyes as if confused. 45Mine, what is classification? This! Mine decimal classification table. Look at this and decide what number the document is. If you get lost, answer me. I handed a letter board to Franc and explained the classification method. The paper and wooden bills picked up and stacked in the meantime are stacked on the desk. Fran and I go through the materials that arrive at hand and sort them by the classification number of the primary division. Rosina, if you have a way to the bookshelf, put it in one shelf I'm smart, Mine As expected, since it is a temple document, the proportion of one philosophy is large. There are relatively 2 history and 3 social sciences. Particularly noteworthy are statistical materials that show the amount of harvest and offering in each rural area. However, there are no old ones at all. And there is no material corresponding to 8 languages, and there is no 9 literature. Delia, paper is stuck in the scroll! Be careful Don't come in when I'm winding it! Delia yelled at the embarrassment that was pointed out, removing the paper and rolling the scroll. Rosina picks up the paper scattered around Delia and laughs around. Scrolls are clearly located where they need to be placed, so we don't need to classify them. As soon as I left the scroll, the floor began to look wide. Gill, give this document to a priest near 2 Wow! The only material that is scattered is not in book form. Moreover, the size of the documents is not uniform, so it is disjoint. I want a lot of boxes and files to organize documents. When I saw a gray priest fighting a parchment that was about to fall down, I thought so. I don't even find a bookend. Are you going to ask Johan? Mine-sama? No, nothing. Rosina, give this wooden bill to that gray priest. Tell me to hold down the parchment. I'm smart Although it seemed that the whole library was messed up, the shelves with precious books that could not be opened without the keys of the temple head and the chief priest were not open and connected to the chain There were no signs that the book was scratched or treated roughly. It's really harassment that just cluttered the material. The two bookshelves were empty and messy over a wide area, so it seemed that there were a lot of materials. However, if you clear the scrolls and stack the materials together, the amount is surprisingly small. There were not many papers and wooden cards that I and Fran had to classify. Is this the end? I wondered that there was no paper or wooden cards on the desk, and I leaned my head. Yes. I cleared up unexpectedly quickly. This classification can be cleared quickly. 4Now I've only roughly divided it into the first division. From now on, we will further subdivide it so that it is easy to find materials. We will need a classification number that matches the actual situation here. It 's hard to shake, but it 's worth it. franc laughed and stood up with peace of mind, so I stood up and looked around. All the material that was really scattered on the floor is in the shelf. However, there is nothing on the shelf that was intended to contain the Priest's materials. Even after the cleanup was over, I didn't find any magic-related material in the Priest's catalog. How about you, Maine? When I came back to the voice of Fran, I was waiting for my words alongside the side servant and the gray priest. You must be told that you have finished your work and be disbanded. With the help of everyone, the library was cleared up. Thank you. I was saved franc tells the priest to return the library key, so I will go to the priest's room together. I want to hear about magical materials. I'll have to report today's results and return this catalogue? And I could have asked you What do you want to ask? I couldn't find the material in this catalogue. It wouldn't be a problem if it was stored somewhere else, but would it be a problem if it was lost? Francs turned pale.

The Priest, it was a great help to lend me an inventory Did the library clear up? The Priest said, it was faster than expected. No wonder.

By the way, these materials were not found. If so, I thought it would be a problem if it was lost or stolen, and I went to report. It's no problem because it's in my room . But Mine.

Anyone notices if there is nothing even though I waited to read it. Also, the chief priest says that it is just that, but for me who has a memory of the Reino period, I didn't feel it was too much.

I don't have any knowledge about magic, so I was wondering whether it would be classified into 4 natural sciences or 5 technologies, and I decided to decide after looking at the contents of the materials. Well This is pretty interesting, but did you think? The priest squints and looks at me suspiciously. The suspicion is correct. I can't make such a wonderful thing. No, based on Melville Dewey's Dewey Decimal Classification, I messed with the Japanese Decimal Classification that I messed with, so it's the Mine Decimal Classification Melville Dewey? Who are you? I've never heard of it. I don't know directly because I'm dead. From that, which priest does the magic categorize? Talking to the chief priest about magic classification numbers, showing the writing board. The chief priest seems to be thinking seriously, and with a small whispers such as The basic magic part or No, but when it comes to magical tools , he turns his eyes lightly. When I was thrilled and waiting for the answer, the chief priest who seemed to have returned to me coughed with Cohon and shook his head. I can only say that it depends on the material, you don't have to worry Why is it? You can't organize it without assigning a classification number? In front of me leaning down, the head of the priest loosely looked around and placed a magic tool to prevent eavesdropping and wiretapping. I hold it and wait for the priest's words. Magic is only handled by aristocrats. I don't intend to put materials on sorcery in the library because I shouldn't let the blue priests who have not graduated from the aristocracy to see them. I see, the materials in the hidden rooms must be magical. At the same time, I was wondering. According to the current priesthood, the blue priest is not a nobleman. Only aristocrats handle blue priests are aristocrats? Accurately, it draws the blood of the nobility and has magical power. If you do not graduate from the aristocracy, you will not be recognized as a noble in aristocratic society.That? But the blue priests and shrine maidens have returned to aristocracy Did you go to the Aristocracy after being taken over by your parents? According to a story I heard about the Lord in front of the gray priest at the orphanage and workshop, there must have been adult priests and shrine maidens in the blue that returned to the aristocracy. The number of nobles was reduced and the number of nobles needed, so it was exceptionally allowed to be transferred to the aristocracy for a certain period of time. The premise that society is not recognized as an aristocrat has not changed, and even if you do not enter the aristocracy, there is power of the parents' home, so from the ordinary people there will be no significant difference between the priest and the aristocrat, but clearly different From the knowledge of the Reno period and the behavior of the blue priests, if I was drawing the blood of an aristocrat, I thought I was a noble. If there is a requirement for graduation from the aristocracy, all the blue priests in the temple are not aristocrats. Aristocratic society is surprisingly tough if it's not a noble without graduating Oh ?? I'm waving a huge power called magical power. How to control, how to use, how to make magical tools, no one knows the title of a nobleman. That's it . No matter how much I cry and beg, I can't show you the materials, I don't want to show them. Finally, an oversized nail was stabbed. Apparently, the chief priest seemed to have noticed from the beginning that my biggest wish was to see the magical materials. Principal ~ If you say no, you can't. Go back to your room early. I was engulfed with icy cold eyes, returned my magical tool, dropped my shoulders, and left the room. Che, I wanted to see magical materials. The priest 's mess. When I returned to my room, Turi and Lutz, who seemed to have finished the workshop, waited in a small hall on the first floor. Mine, Welcome Home Turi, Lutz. Please wait I also sit down on a chair in a small hall with them. Delia, would you like to have tea? I'm smart After seeing Delia heading towards the kitchen, I looked at them. Turi, Lutz, book completed? The orphans were the first to touch the needle. About half were done Turi sang in Lutz's words. That's right. I was surprised that everyone touched the needle for the first time . But I've never touched the needle and I don't have a sewing tool, so I can't fix it even if the hem is loose. Is n't it better to tell them? Children working in the workshop are working on cheap used clothes for going to the forest. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the sleeves and hems to be removed. However, unlike the children in the downtown area, it cannot be fixed. I was not good at sewing enough to be taught to people, and I thought I should buy a second-hand apparel as a rag if I was tattered without any specifications. If Turi tells me, I'll prepare the sewing tools. I'm basically not working here, and I'm not good at it Sure, it doesn't improve even if you are taught by Mine. If you can do just the hem of the hem, it will be very different, so prepare your sewing tools. Turi cannot believe that cooking and sewing, which are the basics of life, are impossible. He has a worried face, like when he asked a teacher in a cooking class. Turi and Ella have taught me so I can make soup now. This time, it is Seuri's sewing class. You know better than you don't know Turi sharply sharpens his lips after being teased by saying teacher. After that, I dropped a little glance. the kids here can read a little ?? I was reading a lot when I was binding. It was a little shocking that a small child in an orphanage could read the letter. They are playing with Carta. Turi should play together next time. Carta seems to have contributed greatly to memorizing letters. The children's scriptures contain all the words of Carta and are easy for children in orphanages. However, I don't think it's easy for non-tempered people. First, I want to show Benno and see the reaction. Lutz, are you ready to give a book to Benno? Oh, I brought it because I was able to give it to the person who took care of it.I took out four books with a face that Lutz seems to be good at. I'm immersed in joy when I pick up the book that is properly bound in the fourth stitch. Wow, thank you! Let's go to Benno together tomorrow. Rice the chief must write a letter for a visit again Benno can be met basically even if he / she goes happily, or can be given to Marc even if he / she is not. However, if you want to give it to the priest, you must start with a letter of request for a visit. Since it takes days before you can meet, you have to send out a letter of requesting a visit early. Mine, would you let Rosina write? Although it is a question system, the air of I want to test if Rosina can actually do is leaking from the face of Fran's face and words. It is better to practice with a letter addressed to the chief who knows the situation, since writing the letter is a side-serving job. As with my time, if there is a mistake, it should be corrected and returned. Yes, let's leave it to Rosina I'm smart Rosina moved quickly, but laughed and acknowledged graciously. I must also be an apprentice. Suddenly, I realized that Delia was looking at Rosina enviously. It seems enviable to be entrusted with a new job. Gill is involved in the workshop, so if you make a new product, new jobs will increase, and Franc will increase or decrease the number of jobs depending on my range of activities. Rosina is not good at paperwork, but it is not impossible. Only Delia who does not move out of this room seems to be in a stepping situation. I'm trying hard to learn both letters and numbers. Gill, who has a competitor called children in an orphanage, is quicker to remember. No matter how hard you try, you can't feel the growth, and you can see Delia 's feelings. There are many times when I don't grow up and feel like I'm in Lutz the same year. Isn't it enough? Gill and we have reported the results easy to understand, but easy to praise from coming complained that praised, because Delia do a day-to-day work in the natural face, it is difficult to far from a compliment. Serious about daily work is the most important thing, but there are few opportunities to give up again. Delia, this is what he gives to the priest, so put it in the office desk drawer Yes, I understand I put another book on Delia's hand. And this is for everyone. Will you put it in this small hall? I would be delighted if Deria would read and give feedback. I am the best? I slowly whispered to Delia blinking. Yeah, Gill did the job at the workshop, but this room couldn't be maintained without Delia. I want the finished product to be seen first.That's right. Thanks to me! Delia raises her chin and chin, holds a book in her chest, and goes up the stairs quickly. The eyes of everyone watching the situation were softly narrowed.
