Ascendance of a Bookworm

"If you eat and I fall, Lutz won't feel responsible. Because this, really, comes suddenly. Besides, you can't beat me yet. I didn't make the book."

Mine's small voice sounds in my ear like a comfort to me.

I carried Mine because I didn't want to show a pitiful crying face.

But I can't wipe the tears that fall because I carry Mine.

Mine's arms are stained with potpouts and tears.

I want to help you, but I can't help you.

Bite your teeth at your lack of strength.

Mine always says, "Me, I'm useless," but for me, I'm in trouble.

Mine laughed and affirmed his dream of wanting to be a merchant and being ridiculed and ignored by his family.

Even when Benno introduced me, even though I was really scared enough to want to escape, Mine held my hand and gave me a helpship.

I couldn't do anything by myself, but Mine thought and moved with me, paving the way for me to become an apprentice.

Even now, Mine tells me how to be a merchant, how to write letters, how to read numbers, how to calculate, how to think about money... all of it.

Yet I can't even help Myne suffer from eating.

I don't have any money to help Mine. Now you can make a little money, but that's all Mine thought about.

I'm not making it, I'm more powerful, if more adults were working with Mine, I would have made paper much faster and I would have made a lot of money. That way, Mine could have made enough money to help.

I can only think about that, I'm miserable, sorry, sorry for my powerless self.

If I wasn't such a kid, and I was an adult, would I have helped Mine? If I did business as big as Benno's husband, and I had the money, I would...

I walk with Mine on my back, eating up my teeth. You'll have as much power and money as you can help Mine, to Benno's store.

I'm sure Benno's husband will help Mine. Because Mine recognizes the value in what he makes, I'm sure.

When I arrived in front of the store, Marc and Benno stood outside the store and waited. There stands a worried Marc and a bitter-faced Benno.

I couldn't even wipe my tears. I didn't want to look so pathetic, I leaned down and stared at the cobblestone.

Benno's shoe tip comes in that sight.

"Ha...... Damn"

The moment I thought Benno had walked over to a sigh of sigh, my back suddenly lightened.

"Uh-huh!?

When I looked up surprised at Mine's voice, Mine was held up a little and thrown toward Marc.

My heart is about to pop out of my mouth at the look of Mine thrown out into the sky.

"Huh!?

"Oops!?

At the same time as Marc reassures himself by making sure he hugs him tightly, his anger against Benno is solicited.

"What a thing to do to a sick man!" The moment I breathed in to yell at him, Benno indicated the store with his jaw.

"Only Lutz is in the back. Come."

She shredded her temper and I opened my mouth and then went into the back of the store about Benno.

I have no problem with Mine if I leave it to Marc. At least, it's safer than leaving it with Benno. Yes, I told myself, and I rushed to the sound of a door closing with a baton, and I wiped my face with my sleeve.

The usual table is recommended and Benno shines reddish brown eyes at the same time as I sit down. He looked at me from top to bottom and opened his mouth.

"... have you had any eating symptoms?

"Why..."

"For what you're carrying, Mine seemed fine. The fever went up all at once, and I thought it was eating myself down all at once. With all that together, this is the first time you've seen it?

I snort. It was the first time I had ever seen symptoms of eating, although I had been in the woods, went to shops, made paper, and acted with Mine the whole time.

There were no signs that my health would deteriorate, and I was terribly scared that something yellow was coming out of mine, as if my body suddenly got so hot that I thought it would dissolve, and the hot air would rise from all over my body.

"Benno's husband, help Mein do it. I can't do this. Such a child, with no money, and nothing to do..."

"I can't."

I asked Benno to do me a favor. Beno gave me a quiet voice and kicked him in the face.

"Why not!? My husband is an adult, he has money, he does business with nobles..."

Benno distorts his face like it hurts when I desperately say so. I ate my teeth regrettably and shook my head.

"I just said I'm expanding my business, and noble opponents don't have a big connection with the new face that just came out recently. I'm still the subject of people wanting to be seen at my feet.... I'm powerless with you too."

"Even my husband... can't he?

I'm stunned by words I never thought I'd say. Isn't it virtually impossible to cure eating that even Benno, who has such a large store and has connections to nobility, lacks the strength to help Mine?

When it got dark in front of me, I remembered that there was a cured guy.

"But Frieda said he was cured... if he was a guild leader!

"Negotiated."

"Huh?"

Benno exhales gently and scratches his hair. With a troubled face, he grinned sarcastically, clapping his shoulders.

"With money, we can extend our lives temporarily," he said. I left it to the gold to keep my granddaughter alive to buy and fish from the fallen aristocrats. They still have magic equipment that's going to break. If you use it once, you'll have at least two small pieces of magic pieces that will break. "

"Ki, gold coins!?

I said I was floating around on one small silver coin I got from selling paper, but all I needed was a small gold coin to help Mine.

I feel dizzy about the amount I can't reach.

"But that can only be extended by about six months to a year. Once you spend money extending your life, you have the next one right away. Mine in particular is small. Every time I grow up, my eating symptoms go on, so I need them more often. Can you give me that kind of money for one apprentice? I can't do this."

Benno's words are not wrong. There's no way I can give you that kind of money.

But giving up on being impossible is the same as giving up Mine's life.

"There's not much I can do. Buying him the unusual knowledge Mine has and adding a little bit of money to it. At last, when it looks bad, it's about giving him a pass.... So, what can you do?

With sharp eyes like a beast, Benno stared back at me unexpectedly.

There's no way I can do it, even though there's little Benno can do with all the power, the head, and the money.

"... there's nothing I can do. If you're such a child, you have no power, no head, no money, nothing to do... let me know."

"Don't let Mine worry you. Don't make me worry."

"Huh!?

I took a lot of breath in the words that were immediately said back. I can't say anything back with a picture star.

Benno loosens his expression slightly to me, whose eyes are getting hot for remorse, but only his eyes open his mouth sharply.

"You know, Lutz. That's not the kid you look like. At least I can care about you when I'm tough enough to make you laugh and show off. Be careful not to be sweet or fooled by it."

After the fever of eating caught on, I remembered Mine laughing at me snarlingly, repeatedly with a rough breath.

Though I was sure relieved by Mine for laughing at me, that could have been a mistake.

"If you're a man, don't increase Mine's seeds of concern any more. There's no way you could pretend you didn't know, so help him so he can buy his own life at all. I can't believe I'm making what Mine thinks. If you mean something big, make it next and sell it! If you have time to cry, move your head. Move your body. Make some money!

"... ok"

I looked up when they showed me what to do.

Benno distorts his niggles and lips.

"You've got a good face, huh?"

"Ah, Lutz. Talk, done? Look, look! Finished the hair decoration I brought you today."

It was Mine's usual smile that greeted me out of Benno's room. You look like you're swallowing, but if you remember Benno's words and look carefully, you can see he's laughing, but he's got worrying eyes.

I laughed and showed it without losing, feeling like I wanted to tongue myself worried.

"That's a lot of money."

"Now you think it's going to be okay for a couple of days."

A couple of days.

"Honestly, I don't know how far my mother's going to storm. Touri is also motivated by her mother..."

I can see that repeated light exchanges loosen up the atmosphere of the mine a little bit. Maybe I could reassure you a little.

Benno, who came out from behind me, was also at his usual pace, clapping his shoulders.

"Don't talk in the store, if you're done for, Mine should just go home and get some sleep. Lutz said it wasn't working."

Benno, who waved a pat of his hand to get rid of us, added the words as if he thought of it.

"Marc, follow these guys. It's dangerous for a kid like that to have a lot of money."

"Yes, sir."

Everything is prepared in medium copper coins so that it is easy to pay the Touri and the others. Some 33 pieces will sound jarring if you walk. As long as you're holding a few pieces in your hand, it's too conspicuous for a pre-christening child to hold them, anyway.

Because of the indicated danger of being stolen or entangled, it's usually "fine. It's okay," Mine, who resigns, honestly offered Marc a bag of money.

Marc, who exchanged glances with Benno, walks out with a bag of money, also holding Mine.

"Ji, you can walk yourself!

"What is the child who has been carried by Lutz saying? Be quiet for the peace of mind."

"Ugh..."

Did Mine lose the art of disputing, sogging and stopping jittering? Apparently, Mine can't defy Marc, who gently teaches.

This made a good discovery. I'll learn how to say Marc as soon as possible, too.

On his way home, Mine talked to Marc about how to get him to do his winter handiwork and how to manage his finished handiwork, and arranged precautions for me to do the same.

I thought it was going to dissolve when I got to the well square, but Marc said, "I'll take the money to Mine's house, and I'll explain it to my family," and didn't try to put Mine down.

I break up with the two of them in the well square, thanking Marc for his care.

"Lutz, I'll be there later."

After dropping off the two of them walking into the building, I went home to drag my feet that suddenly felt heavy.

"I'm home."

"What, are you on your hands today?

I raised a single eyebrow when I saw Zasha, my oldest brother, return.

Collecting in the woods is my original job, which is before baptism, but I've been to Benno's a lot lately and haven't been satisfied with the collection. I know my family doesn't really think of that condition.

"What is it? You've been making money, haven't you?

If you take the money home, your attitude will be a little better, but it will just be better. Ralph seemed a little bitter that I had earned for a short period of time, which made the hit tough.

Go put your stuff in the room and exhale slowly in bed. Since I said I wanted to be a merchant, the atmosphere in the house is giddy and uncomfortable.

If you give up being a merchant and say you will be an artisan, you may feel better, but I will definitely regret it.

Tong Tong!

"Hello, Aunt Carla. Lutz, are you there?

"Oh, isn't that Mine? He sounded like he'd just come home... Lutz, Mine's here!

Faster than I was in my mother's voice, my brothers, who had already eagled my stomach, picked up Mine with a full eye of anticipation. Mine was almost invisible to my brothers when I left the room.

"What's up? Is that new food?

"I'll help. From what?

"Yeah. Not today. I just brought Lutz a reward."

"Reward?"

"Yes, because you helped me with my handiwork, its reward"

Mine, coming out of his brothers' enclosure, stood in front of me with a grin when he was up to something.

"Lutz, get your hands on it," he says, and Mine goes out of his way to leave one medium copper coin on his palm.

"It's 5 pieces, so there are 5 medium copper coins. 1,2,3,4,5. Definitely?"

"Ah."

I found my brothers gaze nailed to a medium copper coin that was placed with a charming noise over my hand. Your gaze seems to be pricking, and your palm stings. I heard someone swallow a goku and a spit.

"Hey, Mine. Helping with the handiwork, maybe the stick of the tree Lutz was building yesterday?

I guess I was waiting for Ralph's words, and Mine replied with a deliberate smile.

"Yes, I'm going to make hair decorations, so I'm going to ask you for a piece of it. It's a piece of medium copper coin."

"That's one medium copper coin!?

After Zasha peeled her eyes off and screamed, she stared over my hand.

You really didn't think there was any point in doubting me because I have the gold, Sieg shook his head lightly and then looked at Mine alone.

"... doesn't that help have to be Lutz? Can I do it?

Zeke's question represented the hearts and minds of all his brothers. Everyone's gaze turns to Mine. Mine takes that gaze without difficulty and nods with a smile.

"Well, it doesn't have to be Lutz to make it. But you're sized, and you have to polish it carefully so it doesn't hook up to your hair, and you can't do the right job, can you?

My brothers, who heard Mine's words, let his face shine and opened his mouth to us first, and began to insist.

"Mine, Mine. I'm better at carpentry than Lutz. I do it every day at work."

"I'm better than Lutz."

"If you say it in years, it's me, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Do you want me to help you make such a crappy stick? Who said you could do it alone?

"Yesterday, all three of us said it was ridiculous... something like that!

"Lutz, you weren't talking about the reward yesterday, were you?

"You were gonna make it up to me, weren't you?

We should have talked about the reward. But you must have been overheard or thought to be saying the right thing.

The power of cash seems to repaint my brothers' memories, and I treat them like bad guys. I was awesome by my brothers who changed the color of my eyes, and I found out how horrible the cash was.

Mine slapped Pong and his hand as he was in trouble surrounded by his brothers.

"So, will you guys make it next time? Five each. Because even if it is made any further, I will not be able to make it. I'll be back in three days."

Mine's suggestion seemed very appealing, and I was thrown out poi. The brothers go to Mine, smack Don and his chest with a really good smile and undertake.

"Oh, leave it to me."

"I don't need three days."

He said he could do it right away.

Mine stood up his index finger, laughing like a prank.

"Politeness is more important than speed. If I hadn't made it carefully, I wouldn't be able to use it, so I'd start over.... Yes, ask Lutz about the size and the trees you use. See you in three days."

That's what he said and the brothers who were smiling and waving off Mine going home, but at the same time making Mine invisible, he changed his attitude.

My brothers will take me to my room after I have been secured. [M]

"So, what tree do you want to use?

"How big is it?

"This time for you, hey"

Tools were immediately prepared and packed to explain how to make them. When I'm doing it, I'm just flattered by the change of siblings who didn't even look at me at all.

"Don't blur"

"Explain it now."

"Ah, ah."

As my brothers ask me, if I teach them the type of tree and how to make it, they will swallow it and make it right away. In no time, I'll be in the box.

And, regrettably, for what I'm used to doing at work, my brothers finish the violin quicker and cleaner than I do.

Oh, is this how you feel when Mine says, "Me, I'm not much use"?

I took out the tablet and the calculator. I have something to do. You can leave the craftsmanship to the craftsmen.

Three things Mine told me on the way home.

To refrain from the number of pigeons made by each on the board.

That board shall be kept in a place where it cannot be found and shall not be written on its own.

If I can get one, I will get four medium copper coins as a commission, so I will add the fee to the calculator.

"Look, I can do it"

I can do it now.

"Ralph's a little cluttered. We need to be more polite. Isn't that a rebuild?

With that said, I'm going to make a quarrel so my brothers can fight first.

"Lutz, is this what you want me to do?

"... yeah. That's Brother Zasha."

I got one Zasha, so 4 medium copper coins.

"Look, I got it, too."

"Brother Sieg is perfect."

Sieg made one, so add 8 medium copper coins.

As I practice letters on the tablet, I can tell as soon as I see the calculator that I didn't even make it, but the fees accumulate more and more.

Is this the merchant?

I wanted to see the power of gold and be able to handle gold well, I thought again.
