Ascendance of a Bookworm

Leaving Frieda's house, me and Lutz will be on their way home.

I wonder why you feel like you've been running away with your life when you should have dropped me off at a glimpse. Why do you feel more tired than going to the woods if you ate sweet food and just talked about it?

"Oh, have you finally had a business meeting?

"Mr. Marc?

When I tried to pass in front of Benno's shop, Marc called me off.

Tomorrow, as I was told to come to this afternoon's report, I was going to leave as I was today, but Marc laughed nicely and invited me to come to the store.

"My husband is here, so it was tomorrow by appointment, but are you sure you want to report it now?

"... Yes"

I just want to finish the report because my stomach is so clear just thinking about how I would be blamed for halving the second one on my own.

"Sir, may I go through Mine and Lutz?

"Oh, let me through."

Beyond the open door there was a Benno tapping his desk in the tantrum just to tell him to come.

"... Mine, how was it? That little granddaughter."

"Uh, she was a very cute, rumorless lady"

"The report we worked on is good. What 'd you think?

Because of this, he wrapped it in an oblate and expressed it, but Benno waved at Patapata and told him to speak for real.

"Honestly, it was too different in appearance and contents, and I was surprised. But not just because I love money, but I think it's an amazing talent as a merchant to observe a guild leader who has been close to me since before baptism to increase money and aim to expand my business"

"You think you're amazing..."

Benno scratched Gashigashi's head, ha, and sighed.

"Uh, I don't know what to say...... cute, but he was an unusual kid, wasn't he, Lutz?

When I say it with all my heart, Lutz raises his eyebrows lightly and looks down at me with that same face you told me not to.

Benno looked intrigued and raised the edge of his lips and asked Lutz the same question.

"Lutz, what did you think?

"I've solicited Mine just like the guild chief yesterday, so I thought he was the one who couldn't be alarmed. And then I thought I was... just like Mine."

"Yeah!? Where!?

Too out-of-heart!

When I bit into the shocking words and asked for an explanation, Lutz answered with a gentle glance over his shoulder.

"Mine looks the same when he's talking about money and when he's talking about books. Just like Mine said, they look cute and have weird contents."

Oh, well. Me, that's a cute look there right now.

There were no mirrors in the house, so I had only seen about a distorted shadow of my appearance reflected in the water in the barrel, and all I could praise was the first person I met and his father-in-law, so I thought it was just a compliment and a social dictionary.

I'm not just a book lover, rather, a freak is self-conscious because he's been sporadically told for a long time, and although I don't particularly think of it as anything, he wasn't otherwise cute on the outside before. It looked geeky to see, with the library room as a root castle and such an appearance, so I was never told there was a gap.

I, assuming sisters and similarities, fell preoccupied with that shame, thinking of the great struggle that seemed odd, in search of a book that seemed like a toddler with the appearance of Thuri did not exist around here.

"... sorry. Reflect a little."

"Give me plenty"

"Ugh..."

In front of me recessed, Benno, who was listening to Niyaniya interact, slammed his desk with a ton of fingertips.

"So? Did the business talks come together?

"Uh, Mr. Frieda's hair was tied in two, so I'm also going to make two decorations"

"Hmm, twice as profitable"

My heart shrinks to Benno's words. I can't not report it, but if I do, I will definitely be angry.

"No, the, uh..."

"What?"

Benno's reddish-brown eyes looked at me.

Breathtaking, what to explain, and awkward, Benno's gaze turns from me to Lutz.

Lutz's mouth opened the moment Benno's jaw rose.

"My daughter told me that Mine, who got the yarn to be an ingredient, would make two for the same price..."

"Lutz!?

"What!?

Lutz continues by completely silencing the reaction between me and Benno.

"The amount is fixed, so the lady insists that we pay exactly two..."

"... ho?

"He said he couldn't settle for long, so I spoke up and agreed to halve the second"

Benno raised his eyebrows to the concise and accurate Lutz report and looked at me.

"Mine, you, stupid? You weren't listening? You didn't remember?

"Ugh, I remember, so I didn't discount the first one when I got the ingredients. But when we agreed for half the price, Frieda also told me that when I could take the money, I would take it from where I could, as much as I could, what I would keep."

"What do you do when someone tells you to do business with me?

Ha, and Benno put his hand on his forehead as if he were frightened, and shook his head.

I also thought it would be a little pitiful to be pointed out to the business people, but it's not too sweet on my stomach.

"But don't give me any more because my stomach hurts that there is also a limit to the multiplication of profits or that it is against fair prices"

"What do you do when a merchant takes money and hurts his stomach? Totally...... Well, your profits just diminish. If you've been getting the second rate straight, that's fine. There are strange rumors going on, and if you buy it here, the second one is free, because it's not like you don't have a visitor to push you around. See if you can lose."

I never thought of such a guest at all.

Don't move with my common sense, it looks like you've been stabbed with a nail, and it drips deep.

"Ugh, I didn't think that far. Excuse me. So, this is the yarn that Mr. Frieda deposited with me, but I want a level of white yarn to match this. Length is er..."

I take the measure out of my tote bag and stretch it from my fingertips to my fingertips.

"This much...... please be about 100 ferri long"

"Okay. Come with Marc to the yarn enquirer tomorrow. Finally, you can also purchase winter handmade yarn."

"Yes."

I was told I could leave now, so I left Benno's shop with Lutz and went home.

I know how exhausted salaried people feel now so well.

I want to go home and be healed.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back, Mine. What was the girl you met today like? Did we become friends?

Nicole laughs as the cooking number Touri scratches the pan around.

He's a cute face, he's well looked after, he's kind, he's a good cook (scheduled) who has recently risen his culinary arm, and he sees a sewing beauty (scheduled) Touri who also does needle work, with a twitchy touching thing in his chest.

"Touri ~!"

When I hugged her, Touri frowned a little and peered into her face.

"What's wrong, Mine? Did they do something nasty?

"Touri is an angel. My healing. Even though Touri is my best sister, I didn't have to be sick and useless. Today, Lutz told me that she was a weird sister of appearance fraud, I realized. I'm sorry, Touri."

"Ha...... Now?"

After stroking my head several times, sighing, Touri pointed to the side of the bedroom.

"Mine, I'm in the way of cooking. Help me when I put my stuff down."

"Yeah."

Put the tote bag down and help Thuri.

Though they told me it was small and small, I grew a bit tall, so I could dangerously mix the pan if I went up on the table.

Report what happened today to Thuri, mixing the pan to avoid burning.

"So, you know, the kid says he's Frieda, and he's a very cute kid, but his hobby is money. My favorite part is counting gold coins."

"Gold coins!? I've never seen anything like it. It's amazing how rich you are to be counted."

Touri seems more conscious of the amount of gold coins than Frieda's weird taste. I know there's a lot of impact around here because I don't think you'll ever see gold coins in a lifetime.

"The house was amazing, too. It was full of decorations and cloth, and it was so beautiful. Oh, so, Frieda told me that my sick name is Eat Me."

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

Touri also seemed to have an unknown medical name and tilted his neck. Few people know, so I can't help it.

"Looks like a very rare disease. Because Mr. Otto and Mr. Benno said they didn't know either. Frieda knew that because Frieda was eating too. But it costs a lot of money to heal, he said. Such a rich man says it costs a lot of money..."

We can't do that.

Tulli went to the same conclusion as me lightly. I don't even have to think about it. It won't be anything that happens in an economic situation where you can't call a doctor if you fall from a fever.

"... yeah. But, you know, he told me how to make sure it didn't get any worse."

"Really?

"It's okay when you're doing everything you can with your goals and goals."

"It is. Mine does whatever he wants, so you're doing fine these days. I used to cry about being sloppy when I could just do what I wanted with Thuri..."

"Ugh..."

Speaking of which, I used to cry every time I had a fever and I had a lot of memories of Mine troubling Touri.

I guess Touri realizes something has changed when he comes out with a statement compared to the previous one.

Thinking about it, Touri stroked his head like he panicked.

"Don't be depressed. I'm glad you're feeling better. So, how was the hair decoration?

"I've heard about Frieda's favorite colors, and I've got the yarn I used to embroider my costume. So, I'm going to make it. Frieda ties her hair in two, so she has two decorations."

"Huh, that's right"

My mother came home while the two of us were getting ready, and my father, who had been on the night shift for awhile and hadn't really looked at each other, returned from a long day shift.

We talked about the guild chief's house as we had a long dinner for the whole family. It's not normal to go in and out of a rich house like that, so everyone asks me intrigued.

My mother seemed most interested in the tapestries and cushions that were decorated, and my father had shown an interest in the brands of liquor that were lined up on the reception room shelves. Touri seemed concerned about what Frieda was wearing and what she had, and the question was exclusively about Frieda's belongings.

After a dinner that was more exhilarating than I thought, I caught my mother and asked her to return the needle for the thread.

"What do you do?

"Make hair decorations. I told you yesterday, didn't I? Frieda wants it. I picked up my order today. They also asked me to make the yarn I used to embroider my costume, so I kept it."

Let me see that yarn.

My mother, who is a good seamstress and works in dyeing, doesn't even try to hide her intrigue in the frida yarn she brings home. Take out the sewing box, take out the needle, come on, hurry up and get it, and remind him.

I take the thread out of my tote bag and put it on the table in the kitchen. No, my mother holds it and stares seriously.

Touri, who is a needle apprentice, also seemed interested in the yarn used for the costume of a rich lady, and came to peek at it at it.

"If you want to dye this deep red, it's going to take a lot of work."

"I knew you were using good yarn."

In front of the two of them picking the thread in a lucid manner, I quickly set up the needle.

"It's a hair decoration, because it's rare, so they buy it for a pretty high price. So make it hard."

"Feeling the same as my hair decoration?

When I was in Touri, I thought best of saving yarn and made as many small flowers as possible with the few remaining colors of yarn, but there are plenty of red yarn that I have kept from Frieda.

And I'm going to make it more elaborate than Touri's hair decorations because that's all I'm putting on profit. My sincerity.

"Make the flowers bigger. Because there's plenty of yarn."

The image is a bouquet of red mini roses and blurred grass. When I say rich lady, I'm sorry for the most impoverished imagination a rose can think of.

But I knew roses were gorgeous, and they look great.

When I eventually wrapped it around me, I knit it it in an image that would make it look like a petal, like it would be a gizzard lace.

When it got to the right length, I wrapped it around, stitched up only one of the ones at the bottom with thread, and spread the petal slightly, in the form of a small rose.

"Wow, cute!

Touri praised me, so when I tried to get on with it and start knitting another one, my father, who was drinking and watching, asked my mother, who was nodding and looking at me.

"Hey, Effa. If you care so much, let me make you another needle?

"Dad, I want two too!

My father was in a good mood and began to sharpen the trees, embraced by my grateful mother and joined by a lovely Touri snack. Once I have made my share of the needle, I will make a thin needle in a relatively short time.

Touri grabbed the needle she had made earlier and started knitting it together. He started going for a needle apprenticeship, and Touri, who seems to be leveling his dexterity, taught me a little bit, so I could knit him as a sushi. Blah, blah, faster than me.

When my mother gripped the needle she had made with a full grin because she was looking at my hand to eat in, she began to knit suddenly, without even having to teach me.

"Mine, do you want me to make you a part of this?

My father, who was out of hand after making the needle, said with a motivated face. It's bad for my father, who wants to work with me, but that's Lutz's job.

When they take it, they make it together, so there's no longer a big name for disturbing Frieda's place with them. And even though I haven't made it, I'm not the kind of Lutz who only receives money, so even though they've been acting together for a long time, Lutz is the only one who gets unpaid.

"I'll just get the feeling. That's Lutz's job, so don't take it."

"Rutz, Rutz, isn't Mine cold with Dad lately?

Easy to understand and my father persists. It's annoying sometimes because I have too much love for my family and I get jealous of strange yakimochi when I'm with Otto or Lutz.

Ha, and sighed, and I shook my head.

"If I'm going to make a baptismal, why don't you make my baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal baptismal? I also intend to add decorations to the baptismal ceremony, so I would like to have drilled a hole first..."

"What is it, Mine? You don't want me to make you another kid's share? Are you a jerk?"

No, I'm not.

I have no idea why that feels like it.

What the hell kind of delusions were there in my brain, my father began to make mine, laughing happily with Niyaniya.

My father's mood rose at once, so I set my gaze back on the needle. While I was talking to my father, Touri and my mother made a lot of difference.

"That's as much red flowers as you need. I'm making it now, so it's the last time."

I make some similar roses, but when the three of us make them, we can do it in no time. Especially my mother, fast. The slowest one is me who took the order.

"Huh? Are we done?"

How pleasantly I was knitting, Tulli pointing my lips in disgruntlement, but I gently clasp my shoulders as I form roses.

Three mini roses were initially planned for the left and right decorations, but by the time I realized they were growing in number, four at a time. Considering the size of the decorations, I don't need any more.

"You can't waste a thread you keep from someone else, can you?

"Oh, right. You can't use such beautiful yarn for nothing."

Stinging, Touri was convinced and began to clean up the needle.

"All you have to do is make a lot of little flowers out of the white thread that Mr. Benno is asking you to do. White yarn is also a yarn that matches this red, so I think it's a good yarn. I'll bring it back tomorrow, so help me with the white flowers if Touri's good."

"Looking forward to it."

Thuri laughs happily holding the sewing box.

...... hmmm, at this rate of Thuri, maybe we should make hair decorations together instead of cage making in the winter handiwork?

The next day, Marc, Lutz and my three went out to the yarn inquirer to purchase. The shop I visited with the craftsmen before when I made the clams.

How impressed it was to buy the finest yarn-like Spinne yarn, when the shopkeeper saw our faces, he immediately rose up.

"Oh, aren't you the customer who bought Spinne yarn before? Do you need it again?

"Yeah, I'll order that again later, with the craftsmen. I wanted another thread today."

From Marc's words, I remembered Benno's words, who said he would have the craftsman make a jar by spring.

Although Frieda's hair decoration and winter handiwork filled her head, she must also arrange to prepare for spring papermaking.

...... I want a notebook. If it rubs, it'll disappear. I want a notebook, not a tablet.

"What are you doing here today?

"Um, I want a white thread that feels just like this."

When I took Frieda's thread out of the tote bag, the shopkeeper looked seriously and roared small.

"That's pretty fancy stuff. It's not weird to use yarn together around here."

Take out the two threads and put them before me.

Alongside the red thread, after comparing it several times, I chose the one with the beautiful red pull out and gave it to the store owner.

"Give me 100 Ferris for this and 100 Ferris for the greens there too. And then, the cheapest yarn is fine, so I want a lot of colors. That's 200 ferris apiece, please."

Yarn for Frieda and yarn for winter hand work need another purchase order.

Remove the purchase order set that is always in the tote bag - wooden plaques, measures, ink, pens made of shredded wood for the purchase order.

When I finish my order, I write the purchase order with gullibility on the spot.

Although many cheap yarns don't have very good color development, I can't stick to yarn if I want to lower the price to around 2 large copper coins.

I rarely wear hair decorations in my normal life, so I only wear them on Hale Day. If it wasn't for the price I wouldn't spare to pay for just one time, they wouldn't buy it. Though for my granddaughter, I should not base myself on the guild leader who can pay six small silver coins for two hair decorations.

"This handmade yarn takes a while to prepare, so I'll take it to the store when it's ready, okay?

"Yes, please"

I left the store with only the luxurious white yarn that I would soon use in my bag. Since the yarn enquirer is close to home, Marc and I decide to dissolve in front of the yarn enquirer and go home.

While returning, Lutz rounded his eyes if he reported that the part of last night where he used red yarn could be done.

"Huh? So you can decorate your hair already? You said we'd take it slow 'cause we still have the day, right?

"Yeah, I think I'll finish it tomorrow or the day after. I wanted to go to Touri with my mother, and she was better and faster than me, so I was able to do it quickly. It would have taken me a lot longer."

Initial prediction was that I would have to go to the woods or shop during the day, so I was going to use the time from dinner to bed to make it for about 7-10 days.

I didn't think we'd run out of work in just one day.

"Okay. I'll make it soon."

"Yeah, please. I want to be one of them because my father wanted to make it..."

"Are you serious..."

Lutz, who is likely to take the job, drips with the sigh.

"... but my family took the job and I'm trying to figure out what to do, but you're not really going to do about it, are you? I leave the work to others, because it's the merchants who buy and sell things. You didn't make anything, Mr. Benno, but you're making money on the commission for what we made, right?

"Oh well. Right."

Lutz also looked at me like he was hacked.

It's not like you can't get paid if you don't make it. It is the merchants who generate money by moving things. Our consciousness is still close to craftsmanship.

"I told the guild chiefs and Benno that me and Lutz would make it together this time, and it's hard suddenly to change consciousness, but let's learn more about the merchant's work together"

"Ooh."

And it came to pass, when I brought the thread into the house, that the work which I was supposed to do was taken by my mother and by Touri.

While I make one little flower, I make two touris and four mothers. It won't be long now. I also tried to make leafy ornaments out of green thread, but most of them were made by two hands, and I, this time, didn't help much.

… Conclusion. Me, I knew sewing beauty seemed impossible.

You were right to pave the way for a merchant apprenticeship.
