It seems that the snow in the forest has started to melt, and plants have started to sprout in some places. Turi who went to the forest said so.

The fact that children are able to go to the forest means that the winter ritual that allowed me to experience reading and not having time is over.

Finally, you can make a clay board!

I want to go to the forest and make a clay board.

Turi said that there was still a lot of snow left, the scaffolding was bad, it was difficult to walk, and there weren’t many things that could be collected. But I don’t have a big problem whether I can collect a lot or not.

I want to dig because I want clay soil.

As long as I stay in the forest, I win.

Of course, I can’t let you go to the forest alone, so I need a Turi to be a guru.

First, in order to beg, I decided to rub it up and pick it up.

“Please, Turi. I want to go to the forest and get along with everyone. Take me to the forest together”

“Mine is impossible because he cannot walk”

Turi’s reply is no different than before. I still have no trust in me, but if I give up here, the game is over.

“I was a little bit stronger. If I can’t go, I’ll be waiting at the gate. Please”

Turi was reluctant, but I tried to increase my physical strength by doing radio exercises every day, using food as much as possible, going to the well about Turi washing dishes, and so on. I think we can go soon.

“… if you say dad is good”

Turi praised himself to drive away me and threw it to his father.

Actually, if you don’t have enough physical strength to wait at the gate, you can’t help talking to your father.

Next, I took my father to persuade him.

“Dad, can I go to the forest too? Isn’t there a lot of fever?”

“Yes …”

During the winter, I was very concerned about my health, so it was only 5 times that I fell fever and fell down.

Oh, not many? It ’s really reduced.

My family was praised as “Wow, Amazing”.

The lack of heat generated increased the number of times decent rice could be eaten. As a matter of course, my nutrition became better and my body was a little bigger. I still haven’t reached my average age, but maybe my physical strength has increased.

“If you can’t do it, you’ll take a break at the gate, right?”

Well, my father is thinking. There is still hope, unlike Turi, because it is not rejected with an immediate answer.

I am desperate to eat to get permission.

“If you get used to it, you’ll be able to manage it. Even if you’re 3 years old, there’s a child who takes you to the forest?”

“Oh, well, I’m sure … but the three-year-old is a rampage that can’t stay quietly at home, so you’re going out?”

“… I mean, if I rampage, will you give me?”

“You don’t have to be rampant. Don’t think stupid.”

♪ If I don’t get permission from my father, it’s spring, so my mother’s work will start soon. Then you will be deposited with Gerda Grandma again.

That is mentally hard. I really don’t like it. I don’t want to go. I don’t want to see a child left alone.

“Dad, are you worried because you don’t have physical strength? How can I go to the forest? How do you think my dad is all right?”

“That’s right …”

dad closes his eyes lightly and thinks.

I waited for my father to answer.

“… Go to the gate for a while”

“To the gate? How long is it?”

“Until you can walk to the gate alone. If you can walk without delay, you can go to the forest.”

After all, it doesn’t seem to get out into the forest so easily. I feel like my ambition’s clay board was a little far away.

However, going to the father’s workplace, gaining physical strength, would be the greatest concession to me, who is not reliable.

Hey, I wanted to go to the forest. My clay plate …

I can’t go to the forest, but I don’t need to go to at least Gerda Grandma, so this is probably the place to drop.

“… I understand. I’ll do what my father says”

When I was convinced once, my facial expression was softened as if my father was relieved. Perhaps I thought I would go on a rampage if I didn’t agree.

“Hey, dad. Do you mean walking to the gate and going back and forth?”

“No, I want Otto to teach me the letters”

“Eh … is it okay?”

What kind of emotional changes have come to my father who hated Otto to teach me how to write?

My father lowered my eyebrows a little as I leaned my head.

“Mine is weak in body? But Otto said that she was smart. If you look for a job, work that uses the head is suitable. I want to get an easy job. “

Otto is so nice that I can persuade my idiot father with my brain, so my tears seem to break.

I never expected that my father would recognize me from Otto.

“Mine thought that it would be better to do such a job because his hands are dexterous, but working with the head is better and the burden on the body seems less.”

“A job that uses the head? What is it?”

My brain labor in this world never comes to my mind. Is there brain work that can be done without physical strength?

“That’s right. If you’re a substitute writer making papers for government offices and nobility, you said you could do it at home only when you feel well.”

Is writing a document instead like an administrative scrivener? If that is the case, if I have a qualification, I think it was a job I could do at home. I don’t know because I’ve never been qualified.

“Otto is a soldier, but he is a travel merchant. There is still a connection with the commercial guild. The work that dads and mothers can introduce is not very suitable for Mine, so you should take care of the connection with Otto. Good “

…… Otto-san was baked and the invisible father looks like a very good father!

“Thank you, Dad. I’ll do my best”

The father who lightly hit my head with pompoms faces Turi.

“Turi, can you help me?”

“… It’s impossible for Mine”

shook his head sideways. My sister’s request is that Turi, who can listen to anything, does not shake her head vertically.

My father seemed unwilling to deny Turi’s opinion, so he slammed.

“I know. But it’s Mine that I need to get to the forest”

“That’s right … but it’s annoying …”

“Yes, everyone is in the way as it is now”

Not only Turi but also my father told me that it was clear and in the way. Even if you know yourself, you will be hurt if you say it in front of you.

“If you can’t walk at least at the same speed, you can’t act with the forest first, so go to the gate first. Dad goes with Mine until you can walk to the gate. I hope I can cooperate with Turi when I can walk up to. “

“… Then I’ll do my best”

¡Turi, who has a strong sense of responsibility, struck me a lot, but I dropped my shoulder. My physical strength recognition that is recognized in the family seems to be still basking.

Is that so? I don’t think I can walk to the gate. I haven’t been short of breath even if I went to the well recently.

The next day, in the morning when the day was a little higher, I decided to head to the gate with my father. I go to the gate only when my father is in the daytime.

The work of gatekeepers is divided into three shifts: morning numbers from before opening to noon, lunches from before noon to closing, and nights from opening to closing.

Until I can walk to the gate, walk to the gate with my father in the daytime, depending on the physical condition, return with the Turi who return from the forest, or wait until the father’s work is over and return together It seems to be either.

“Don’t overdo it. Don’t let your dad look at Mine”

“Oh, I know. I’ll go, Mine”

“I’m coming”

I waved my hand to my mother who was going to see me off with a worried face, and I walked to the gate with my father in hand.

I managed to get out of the need to take a break just by going down the stairs, but when I walked out to the main street and walked a little, I couldn’t breathe.

Speaking of which, I haven’t ever walked to the gate with my feet, thinking about having it on my back, a cart, or a shoulder car.

“Mine, are you okay?”

“Still, I’m …”

If you retire here, you may not be able to go to the forest for a lifetime.

I tried to say “I’m okay” with such an obsession, but my body isn’t okay. The body is so heavy that I want to sit here.

“It doesn’t look okay at all ………”

My father hugged me when he stopped my foot with discretion. Immediately after that, he leaned against his father and repeated a rough breath.

Unreasonable! Let ’s die!

Family is correct. I can’t go to the forest.

Approximately half of the distance moved by my father, and as soon as I arrived, I took a break in the hotel room. To be honest, nothing else can be done. It seems that I was too relaxed, so my father left me on the bench in the room.

After lunch, I finally got up.

“Hey, dad. I decided to have Otto-san teach me the letter, but is it okay to take that much time? What is Otto’s job?”

Otto should have a job as a gatekeeper. I think teaching to me is not a job as a soldier.

“Otto’s job is to teach letters.

“New?”

“There are about five apprentices who have finished spring baptism. It is Otto’s job to teach them the letter.”

Soldiers are required to read and write literate characters. This is because you cannot stand as a gatekeeper if you cannot read and write people’s names and titles.

“Do you want me to teach you too?”

“Well, yes, but from a standpoint, you are not an apprentice soldier, but an Otto assistant.”

“Your assistant?”

Can such a child be treated as an assistant? I say it myself, but it’s a young girl who looks about 3 years old. I don’t think anyone will be convinced to be an assistant.

“Mine. Did you help Otto’s job?”

“If it is financial reporting and budget … but it’s just calculation?”

Assisting Otto’s work only once. Because I was asked to endure my shame, I decided I shouldn’t speak out and didn’t report it to my father. But Otto may have been beaten, but he reported.

“Oh, it has been said that it’s burdensome to leave that job to Otto alone, but there was no one to help. Otto told you to teach you the letter and help you.

It was a reward from me to teach me the letter, but I wanted to be an assistant, and I was n’t kidding.

“Otto seems to have been hired as an individual assistant, but don’t let the children before the baptism work. So I decided to let them go to the gate in the name of teaching letters. Otto argued that there was no assistant who would be more budget-friendly than when he was in poor health. ”

Apparently, it seems that I was asked to help the paperwork while learning the letters with Otto. Is it the foundation for next year’s budget season?

Talking to my boss, I’m a merchant in making a salary brush from my budget by treating me as an assistant. I feel like I know how to make a profit without hurting my bosom.

“Mine-chan, I’m about to start, are you okay?”

“Yes”

Otto came to call me, so I took a tote bag and moved from the room to the training room.

There was a wooden table and chairs in one corner of the training room, and five boys were sitting there. It would be a soldier apprentice that my father said.

“Mine is the daughter of the team leader here and is helping with the paperwork. This time I decided to participate because I wanted to memorize the characters. ]

Introducing me like that, Otto’s class started.

Write basic letters like alphabet on a stone board. First of all, if you don’t remember all this, you can’t do anything.

“This is all the basic characters”

Of the 35 types of letters in total, today I will write five on the stone board while pronouncing five. Some letters were learned with little pain because they had been taught a little before.

“… Mine is really quick to learn”

“I like this more than moving my body”

I’m sure I’m used to studying, unlike the kids in this world, and I don’t have any resistance to studying at all. The one who likes to be good at things.

If you compare me with the beginners who have never even had a brush, and have to start with a brush, they are sad.

“Otto, you should finish studying letters soon.”

“Huh? Already?”

Considering the experience time, it is probably about 30 minutes, but for the boys, sitting and writing is a pain. I started moving my body from a while ago. It is proof that you are bored.

“Because it’s impossible to concentrate for a long time on a person with a brush for the first time. After practicing a little, you can do the next calculation. You can draw a sketch of the city. It ’s better if you feel and experience a little bit of the day. ”

It is better to refer to elementary school timetables in terms of their age. Even Japanese elementary school students will not be able to withstand hiragana in the Japanese language all day long. This is especially true for children in the world who are not used to sitting.

“Next, let’s calculate. From where we count”

Employees sometimes go shopping, so everyone up to 10 was counted. However, there is a little suspicious child, so write a number from 0 to 5 on a stone board while counting out aloud.

Also, when everyone started to sneak up their bodies, we decided to round them up and drive them away.

“Let’s study today so far. Remember all the letters and numbers you learned today by the next time. If you don’t remember it, the study time will be increased for that child. Is an important job “

So saying, I quickly disbanded the children.

Otto looks awkward as he takes me to the inn room when he no longer needs to be in the training room.

“Mine-chan, it’s such a sweet way, I don’t remember it easily”

“But? But if you are not good at it, it takes more time, so it’s enough to teach it at once. It’s not good compared to me.”

“Oh … that’s right”

Apparently he noticed that he was unconsciously comparing with me, and Otto scratched his cheeks.

“And if you don’t remember after reviewing, you won’t be able to go home until you learn the next? That’s your responsibility. Isn’t it so sweet?”

“I see. Self-responsibility is strict for chicks who have just started work.”

¡According to Otto who had a bitter laughter, I laughed together and breathed out gently.

I haven’t heard about helping newcomers, and if they were there, my study wouldn’t progress.

When I went back to the room, Otto gave me the rest of my class.

I have Otto write a word and practice it on a stone board. Otto does paperwork during practice hours.

“Mine-chan seems to have learned the letters, so do you remember the words? I’ll start with the words you use often.”

“Yes!”

In this way, Otto-sensei’s personal lesson taught me to remember words, but all the words I taught were all about fixtures and gatekeeper work. Apparently, he is going to really help with document preparation.

Perhaps when it becomes a little usable, it seems that it will be put into paperwork without waiting until next year’s budget season.

So, the first words you taught me were “person inquiry”, “nobility”, “introduction letter”, “petition”? Isn’t it used at all in daily life? At the very least, if you start with the equipment items, you can learn the names of hay, food, weapons, and armor …

My father came to call me when I spelled letters on a slab. It seems that Turi and others have returned from the forest because it was a little before the gate.

I put a stone board in my bag and decided to go home with everyone.

“Turi!”

“Mine, let’s go home”

数 A few children who carry a collection bag and have tools, collections, and so on look at me with only one tote bag.

“Eh? Mine?”

“Turi’s sister? I saw it for the first time”

Tully smiled when hiding behind Turi unintentionally from the ugly gaze of dirty children.

“It’s rare for Mine to go outside”

Apparently, Mine, who rarely showed up at local events, seems to be treated like a rare monster among children.

Turi follows, “It ’s okay because you ca n’t be bullied just by seeing it,” but it ’s painful.

“Is Mine going back with you?”

“Luts!”

I was looking for Ralf’s face as I was deeply relieved that there was a face I knew. However, there is no figure of Ralph who is good in physique and has red hair.

“That? Isn’t Ralph today? Is it sick?”

“Ralph is 7 years old this spring, so it’s work today”

“Hey …”

Ralph was still 7 years old. I knew it from Mine’s memory for the first time, but she had a good physique, took care of her, and thought she was 8 or 9 years old.

That? Lutz is also quite tall and growing during the winter? After all, there may be genetic laws here as well.

I started walking toward my house while thinking about that. After the collection in the forest, the children who have a lot of luggage will naturally get their feet fast, whether they want to get home as soon as possible.

Turi and Lutz follow me who is likely to be left behind by such a group.

“Everyone should n’t panic!”

“Are you okay, mine?”

I am also going to walk hard, but I’m getting separated by the group. Children are merciless. Don’t wait for me late.

“Everyone is fast …”

“I’m sorry, Lutz. Can you ask for Mine? I’ll see you guys.”

Turi is the oldest group of children before the baptism, so we gave everyone priority over their sister.

“I understand. Mine, walk slowly. Even if you jump on the way, today I can’t carry it because I have luggage.”

“No”

Only Lutz walks slowly with me left behind. You can’t take care of Lutz anymore, so feel free to walk down.

“What did Mine do at the gate?”

“I was taught the letter”

“Is it possible to write?”

I saw me as Lutz was so surprised.

I feel that Lutz’s eyes are shining because of my respect for me, but I still don’t remember enough words to write. It would be a problem if you could see it with such glittering eyes.

“I can only write about my name yet. I’ll practice now.”

“Wow, Maine. I can write my name!”

That? Does it seem that respect has been fully established?

I didn’t expect to be respected just by writing my name.

However, if you think carefully, it is about the village chief who can read and write characters, and there is a memory that even the level father could say that the name of the person can be written.

I thought it was the first grade level of elementary school, but in this world, it’s a respected level …

I was able to understand for a moment how valuable it was to be able to help with document preparation. Otto will be interested in raising me before the soldiers around.

If you are satisfied where you can write a person’s name, you can’t be taught how to create a document.

“Ze … zee …”

“Mine, are you okay?”

For me, it is easy to memorize letters, but it is difficult to gain physical strength.

Assisted by the worried Lutz, I was exhausted to the point where I could not speak when I came home.

Sure enough, I got fever and fell asleep for about two days.

“That’s why I told you to do it!”

My mother is angry, but she seems to be steadily steadily getting up, so she usually goes to sleep for about 5 days and goes out on the 3rd day.

After going out to the gate with my father and walking about half way, I was held by my father and moved. Helping to practice and calculate letters from noon. On the way home, I walked with everyone, immediately pulled away, my breath was exhausted, and I was worried about Lutz. When I get home, I go to sleep again.

Such a state was repeated for about one month, but the physical strength has improved properly.

I went for a day and rested for 3 days, but now I have a rest for 2 days and went to work every other day. At that time, the speed was still slow, but I was able to manage to walk to the gate.

Of those, I went for 2 days and took a day off, and went to 3 days and got a day off.

The first time I could go to the gate for 5 days, I celebrated with my family.

“Yes, Mine. I was able to go all without taking a break for the first time.”

“I’m very happy with my dad!”

“Let’s go to the forest soon”

Celebrated by family members, but then got fever and fell asleep for two days. It does n’t seem to work as well as I thought.

When I started going to the gate in March, I finally got permission to go to the forest. It was the end of spring when the summer signs began to appear.
