Ascendance of a Bookworm

You were right to tell me what you know about the interview, whether Rutz looked disgusted, washed his body, or burned blade.

Both Otto and his friends are decent enough to fall into the upper echelons of the people who go to and from Central Square. After all, we should have worn them in sunny clothes.

The design is weird...... no, it's a little unfamiliar to me design clothes, but there are many drapes that use more cloths and clothes that I don't see dirt or joints at all were rarely seen within my area of life that naturally save as much cloth and thread as possible.

I think Otto's friend is a pretty lucrative guy to look at from his outfit. The outfit, the waist, the eyes, they're all completely different from the merchants in the market I've seen.

Even though he said he was a profitable merchant, he was compelled to go to the president of an ever-growing venture, not an established president. At first glance, you have a gentle look on your light-colored habitual hair like milk tea, but your reddish-brown eyes are full of confidence, glitzy, and make you feel like a carnivorous fierce.

"Hey, Mine. Are you sure that's Lutz?

"Good morning, Mr. Otto. This is my friend Lutz. Thank you for your time today."

I didn't know how it was appropriate to say hello, so as usual, I'll slap you twice in the chest and salute you. Otto gave it back the same way, so I don't think it was a big mistake.

"Nice to meet you, Lutz. Best regards,"

Lutz seemed nervous, too, but he couldn't help but notice the two eyes and the intimidation they were looking down at, no retreat, no shaking voice, and an unfamiliar greeting.

First gate is clear.

"Benno, you're my assistant, Mine, your squad leader's daughter. Mine, this is Benno. I knew him when I was a traveler."

"Nice to meet you, Mine. Thank you very much."

I'm not in the habit of bowing my head down. Here, be careful not to bow my head down and just remember to smile and say hello for now.

"This, be polite. My name is Benno. Here you go.... you're a little girl with a lot of tightness."

"I'm not as young as I look. I'm 6."

Otto told Benno about me, who would probably look 3-4 years old.

Benno, after a few frowns, looks at Otto funny and raises the edge of his lips.

"... your pre-christening child is still your assistant?

"Oh, no, you're right. I'm teaching you to read and write so you can be my assistant."

"The way you put it, it sounds like you're already working as an assistant, right?

"... don't say anything unnecessary"

My spine gets cold at the interaction between the two people reading information from the ends of the word. Can you do an interview with me and Lutz that will convince these people?

I wonder what. Just because I'm a pre-christening child doesn't make me feel forgiving at all.

As Benno looked suspiciously, staring slightly above the height of my gaze, he opened his mouth.

"I'm so curious, I want to ask you first, okay?

"Yes, what is it?

"What's that stick you're stabbing in the head?

I see. It's hard to ask other questions that you don't love after you fail or get put out, right?

Could it be you're willing to fail?

With a loving laugh stretched out, staring at Benno's every step of the way to get a little more information, I then took off my chin and offered it to Benno.

"This is' Xuan '. It's for putting your hair together."

Otto was wondering, too, and with Benno I look into the shiatsu. I'm looking up and down, I'm trying to flip it, I'm staring at you.

It's just a stick, right? No seeds, no tricks, huh?

"... you're just a stick"

"Yeah, my father made me, it's just a stick I cut a tree"

"Is this all you can do, put your hair together"

"Yes."

She gave it back to me, and I made it the same hair as usual.

Squeeze enough hair to be half-upped, twist and wrap it around the wax, rotate it around, and glitch it in and secure it. I do it every day, so it's something I'm used to.

"Ho... Wow."

I've never shown you where to tie your hair, so Lutz and Otto both round their eyes and look at my hair.

Benno touched my hair and frowned.

"Hey, lady. This hair is amazing too. What the hell are you wearing?

Unlike the politeness of my fingers, which touch to ordain my hair, the light directed at me is breathtaking and sharp.

From the eyes of Benno, who finds value and giggles, and the way Auntie Baptist eats, I also saw that Simple Lincian has quite a product value.

"It's a combination of straw and commonplace objects, but it's a secret to learn more"

"Does the kid wear the same thing?

"Mine told me to clean it yesterday, because he attached it to me..."

Ah, Mr. Benno. Now you tongued lightly, didn't you?

You were sweet watching that you might be able to tell me easily because you're a kid, right?

I'm sorry to hear that.

I haven't started a meeting with Lutz yet, but I can't cut a bill that seems worthwhile in such an outpost.

Otto sighed lightly and scratched up his hair as I continued with Benno the reward of a smile that caught on nicely.

"So was it that Lutz wanted to be a traveler?

Here comes the real deal.

I heard Rutz breathing gokuly next door.

I sneak Lutz's hand and put my strength into it, as long as I can convey my feelings of support.

You've been thinking hard since yesterday, haven't you?

Come on, now's the time to step on it. Line up your motives and win the pass!

"Ah, yes. Me......"

"Stop."

"Huh?"

I was stopped before I put my motive in my mouth.

I've been thinking about it for a while, so I asked him, and he was screaming in his heart, and Otto looked down at Lutz with a face that looked like he'd chewed up a bitter bug.

"It's foolish to let go of citizenship"

"... Mr. Otto, what is citizenship?

I stumbled on, and the question popped out of my mouth as I voiced it.

I've never heard that word before. It's about citizenship, so I know it's the right of people living in this city.

But as I enjoyed it unknowingly until I studied the rights guaranteed by the Japanese Constitution, I do not know what the hell kind of rights the inhabitants of this city seem to have for granted.

"It's a right to live in this city. It is also proof of identity at the same time: registered as a person of the city in the temple at the seven-year-old baptismal ceremony, the response changes in those who have and do not have citizenship to get to work, to marry, to rent a house. If the rest of us want to register for the temple, get citizenship, and settle in the city, it's gonna cost us a hell of a lot of money."

"Did you pay, too, Mr. Otto?

"Oh, yeah"

You remembered the time, Mr. Otto nodded with a bitter face.

Benno smiled bitterly next door, pointing to Otto.

"This guy took all his money to marry Corinna."

"Hopefully, I wanted to take the store and do business here, but my money. Then I just got the best of my citizenship."

I don't know how much money the travellers have saved, but I don't feel there's enough money for citizenship, for marriage funding, for opening a store.

"Besides, the life of the city and the life of the journey are completely different. Hey, Lutz. You know what it's like to spend most of your life on a carriage?

"... no"

Pretending and Lutz shook his head.

You can walk the city from end to end for about two hours, so basically all the way around the city for kids is on foot. Whatever the luggage car is, there's no way Lutz would even know about a journey in a carriage.

"For example, water. What do you do when you need one?

"Draw from the well"

"Right? But there's no defined well for the duration of the journey. We'll start by looking for a water field."

"If it's a river..."

Looks like the river I'm using when I went to the woods came right to Lutz's head as a water field.

But there is no way to always travel on the side of the river as you travel. And how many travellers have maps even though paper is expensive and unavailable?

"When I first went outside as a traveler, maybe I don't know where that river is either, Lutz. It won't travel all the way along the river..."

"Mine is right. So do business by following roughly the same route. With each passing year, we get to know each other more, exchange information, and find out what water fields and safe paths we can use. Teach that to your child, and the child will carry on that route. There's no room for anyone else in a narrow carriage.... and most importantly, the fate of the traveler. You know what a traveler wants?

……

"Citizenship."

"Huh!?

"I want to stop my life on a tough journey and live in the city one day. I want to have a store in the city and do business safely. I want to save money for that. That's the traveler's dream. You, who already have citizenship, will never be accepted by a traveler. If you really want to do it, you have to start it yourself. Travelers don't have an apprenticeship system."

If citizenship is a traveler's dream, Otto will have already fulfilled his dream.

He really wanted to have a shop in this city, but I don't know why the merchant became a soldier.

"Why, did Mr. Otto want to be a soldier?

"Wait, listen... Ngu!

I held Benno's mouth to say something, and Mr. Otto ran out of grandeur and clarity.

"To marry Corinna."

"Ku, I want to hear more!

"I don't want to hear it, lady."

Benno stopped as he panicked, but Otto began to speak with his eyes shining.

"Yes, that was not long before I grew up. When I came to this city, I fell in love with Corinna at first sight. I mean, I was pierced through the heart, or the heavens flickered, and anyway, all I could see was Corinna. If you're getting married, she's the only one, so I immediately dictated."

"... Mr. Otto was surprisingly passionate"

A calculated former merchant who thinks black behind a refreshing soft smile seems to have also been a passionate running into love.

I couldn't imagine being passionate about love because of the very calm color of brown eyes in scorched tea hair and the appearance of honesty.

"That's just how attractive Corinna was. Well, you attacked me resolutely, but you turned me down at first. She is a well-armed and famous needle, and I want to take care of the ground as I do my job. I said," I can't go on with my journey. "

Yeah, it does matter that you're good at it, and I guess you made enough money to be somewhat satisfied that you're good at it, and you can't throw away a steady life and a precarious journey life.

Besides, according to Mr. Corinna, a traveler who suddenly comes to dictate isn't a pretty frigid opponent? I thought you might be fooled.

As I snorted and listened, Otto's love story accelerated and heated more and more. My voice began to gain strength and my gestures began to get louder.

"When Corinna told me that marriage was going to be a man in this city, I was so shocked that I thought thunder had fallen. I couldn't think of Corinna marrying another man, and after desperate thinking about what to do, I went to the temple on that foot and got citizenship."

"Huh? Wait a minute. Isn't love too rampant?

When I looked up at Benno not knowing if Otto's behavior was normal in this world, he held his temples down with a tired look.

"... even the kid's lady would think so, wouldn't she? Besides, the money Otto put into the city's citizenship, the money his parents were planning to go to the city where they got citizenship and fund the opening of the store, right?

"Yeah!?

If a city where parents are getting citizenship, Benno says it was supposed to fund opening the rest because they get citizenship for about half the price.

It's not a calculated merchant, it's just a rampant horse who sees only the person he's in love with, to get into love at first sight with the important opening funds he's accumulated in a tough traveler's life.

"I want to have a store in this city, but it costs money to have one, and I still didn't have the edge to just accommodate it by then. Because Corinna was the soldier who could leave the merchant and show her that she was ready to stay in this city, every time she came to this city, she asked the squad leader, who was close to her, to hire her as a soldier, mainly in paperwork.... Speaking of which, if you bought citizenship, became a soldier, and proposed, Corinna would have been surprised"

No, well, you'd be surprised. If I refused to be able to live a journey, I don't think any young lady would be surprised to hear that I wanted to buy citizenship and become a soldier.

I'd like to hear Mr. Corinna's point of view about whether you thought you had to hold onto the reins properly or how cum you felt so much about me. I think I can hear a completely different story from Mr. Otto.

"I kept dictating for days, and I got married feeling like I was my son-in-law at Corinna's. I laughed at people I couldn't help anymore. When I said how cute Corinna is! So now..."

From there I began to talk extensively about how cute my daughter-in-law was. Otto's mouth never stops. I hope you don't brag about using your daughter-in-law's first-class sales and presentation skills that you have developed as a merchant.

Lutz is also overwhelmed by his water daughter-in-law's pride on the stand, making it a pocan.

I heard it was a loving wife house that only my wife could see, but I thought my father was exaggerating. But he wasn't exaggerating or anything.

I don't know what to do, I didn't know Mr. Otto was like this.

When I looked at Benno for help, the moment my eyes met, I was used to it, I clasped my shoulders gently and exhaled.

"Otto, we're not talking about travelers anymore. That's about it for my daughter-in-law, get back to business."

"Cohon! Bad. That's why travelers give up."

What do you mean, I wanted to put in a scratch, but I'll put up with you there gutsy.

Quite derailed, but the traveler knew very well that there was no apprenticeship system and the hardship when he became a traveler and the importance of the civil rights we had and the fear of drowning in love.

Give it up, Lutz, who has been clearly told, is dropped and pitifully depressed.

Because of this, I've also thought about motives for aspirations, but I can't help but be depressed when they tell me I can't do it before I speak and beat the rigors of a traveler and my daughter-in-law's pride.

"... Lutz, this is a suggestion from Mine, but why don't you be a merchant apprentice, not a traveler? As long as you leave the city with a purchase, you'll be able to."

"Mine!?

Ba and looked up, and Lutz looked at me.

A green eye burning in anger said, "You knew you couldn't be a traveler?," he says eloquently.

"I thought it would be better for Lutz to listen to the traveler properly. You can honestly hear more than I've ever said in the same city, can't you?

"... ah"

Lutz looks like he's a star, and the bat looks badly out of sight.

"When I spoke to Mr. Otto, I thought travelers seemed difficult, so I thought, if possible, that my parents wouldn't disagree with me and I wouldn't have a chance to get out of the city at work. Besides, I never knew it before, but I think you should stop being a traveler until you let go of your citizenship."

"... right"

Listening to Otto, I guess, I had something to think about. Listening to the souvenirs of people coming from outside should have been completely different from listening to real life.

"My father told me that Otto had a connection with the merchants in this city, so if Lutz was willing to introduce me, I just talked to him. It's Lutz's freedom to say no, isn't it?

"... well. You've given me a lot of thought."

Ha, and Lutz exhaled looked up and looked up at Benno.

I look up, too, and stare at Benno. If you want to be a merchant apprentice, the person you have to get over is Benno, not Otto.

"So, I was introduced... you, you want to be a merchant?

"Yes."

When Lutz nodded, Benno narrowed his reddish-brown eyes softly.

The loose atmosphere like when I was listening to Otto's daughter-in-law boast no more fine dust. I look down at Lutz with a horrible eye like a carnivore who finds someone to yield to.

"Huh. So, what do we sell? What do you want to be a merchant and sell?

"Huh?"

Asking motives for aspirations for job interviews is normal, but what Lutz has been thinking about yesterday is why travelers aspire. Suddenly being told to twist the motive for a merchant apprenticeship is not something that can be done so easily.

"I'm asking you what you want and what you can do when you're a merchant."

"It's..."

Hi-no! It's a compression interview with a pre-christening child!

Don't be mean like that, I'd say, but for merchants, having one more apprentice means spending a lot more. If Otto's assistant friend is connected, he doesn't have the kind of brother-in-law he needs to be prepared to take in the loss.

Without so much guts, so much motivation, so much information about products that are likely to sell, something that would benefit Benno, I can't complain about being cut off instantly. Instead, I'm in a position where I have to thank you for just seeing me.

"If not, we're done talking."

I could see Lutz leaning slightly over Benno's words and biting his lips.

I don't know if the words I'm going to say now will be a help ship or a step toward hardship I don't have to do. It's Lutz who chooses.

I asked softly and so little that I could only hear Lutz.

"... my paper, Lutz makes?

"Do it"

"Hmm?"

Lutz looked up grossly. There is strength in the hand that shakes my hand. The hand was trembling, but Lutz kicked Benno, who looked fierce with a single eyebrow raised.

"Even I have something I want to do! I make everything Mine thinks!

"Yeah. You've been doing that all along."

"Mine will soon be unscrupulous, so I'll do it"

Well done, Lutz. You put it right. Mr. Benno is circling his eyes.

If it turns out that I am not sure if I have involved Lutz or if Lutz has involved me, but if Lutz can pull off what I cannot do, then I can take on what Lutz cannot do.

Unlike Lutz, I've been through both entrance and job interviews.

I smile with a nickel as I look up to Mr. Benno. I breathed softly, threw up slowly, breathed well, and then opened my mouth.

"It's not animal skin. We want to make paper and sell it. I think it would be a profitable sale because the cost of production would be kept lower than parchment."

It will be like Benno chewed up a bitter bug in my words. He made a roaring low voice with eyes that dwelled in much more fierce light than he had been pointing at Lutz.

"... is your lady a merchant aspiration too?

"Yes. Second hope, though."

As I nodded with a smile, Otto, who was next to Benno, tilted his neck loosely.

"First hope is paperwork at the gate?

"No, it's the 'scribe'"

Three people in all my words make me look suspicious. After all, the words didn't seem to make sense.

"... you've never heard of it"

"I want to manage books where there are lots of them."

Chewing up the clerk's job and explaining it, Benno blew it out and started laughing.

"Buh... Ha ha, that's a job you can't do without your nobility"

"... I knew you were"

You aristocrats.

I thought if it was basically nobility to have a book, the secretary who manages it would also be noble. It's somehow what I expected, but I still feel angry about the difference in identity.

"Nevertheless, paper not parchment, hey...... Do you have any in kind?

There is vigilance in my eyes. Maybe Benno's head must be full of influence and profit when paper other than parchment comes out.

"Not now, sir."

Don't talk to me.

He says he won't talk, but he's definitely interested. You can take it to the drop point with one more word.

I deepened my smile.

"If there's anything in kind, I'll make it. Since our baptismal ceremony is next summer, we will make a paper prototype by spring, so decide if it can be used."

"... okay"

I was going to fail. I got a reprieve from Benno.

This would be a fine victory.

"Thank you, Mr. Benno"

"We haven't decided yet"

"Still, it gave me a chance to try."

All Lutz has to do is work hard. He'll do it desperately because his job is on him.

It abruptly descended and sprung up, gargling without thinking of the situation where the paper was going to be available.

"Lutz, let's do our best."

"Ah."

I also express my gratitude to Otto, who was laughing at our exchange with Niyanya.

Thanks to Otto, Lutz gave up the traveler and took the first step towards a merchant apprenticeship. This was the best result in my mind.

"Otto, thank you for introducing me to Mr. Benno"

"It's been a pretty good holiday. Looking forward to the next day at the gate."

"Yes."

Apparently Otto got a passing score too.

I stroke down my ho chest and I take a step forward as I walk out with Rutz, realizing that Otto's line is urging me to dissolve him.

... Oh, I forgot.

I stop and look back, and call Otto and Benno, who were about to walk away in the same way.

"Um, Mr. Otto and Mr. Benno had something to ask you."

"Yeah, what is it?

"Do you notice a disease in you that suddenly spreads or gets smaller?

Otto, who was there, or Benno, who seems to have connections in various places, might know about the heat in me.

"I feel like I'm about to be eaten by fever, or if I'm desperate to retreat, I get smaller. I apologize for being subjective..."

"Come on? I've never heard of you."

Otto shook his head loosely.

Moving his gaze to Benno, he slowly shakes his head after laying down his eyes for the first time.

"... I don't know"

You can assume that no one in my life knows that these two people don't.

My illness is apparently quite rare.

... Could it be a pretty nasty disease?

With a little anxiety, the meeting opened.
