Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

"Is Christmas coming soon ..."

For some reason, I have been reincarnated in this world, which has almost the same calendar as the earth, and I have been fourteen years old for almost ten years, but now I have somehow remembered Christmas in Japan.

In the previous life, when I was a kid, Shingo Ichinomiya ate cakes and chicken at home, and his father received a gift from true Santa.

When you were in junior high school or high school, friends and clubs had Christmas parties too.

She wasn't very feminine, and she made a fuss with her male friends, sending curse words to her classmates and friends celebrating Christmas with her.

When I was a college student, I had her, and I worked for a part-time job to buy a Christmas present.

I was hurt before graduation, but let's think that is a good memory.

After I got a job, I went behind the scenes because the trading company I worked for was mainly a food company.

In other words, food-related work moves toward the end of the year of scraping, as early as a year ago and as late as several months ago.

This is because food manufacturers and pastry shops that make cakes can't eat them if they can't make them anymore because there is not enough cake material.

The necessary items are calculated to some extent in advance and the order is placed earlier.

We are busy preparing to wholesale it.

Even at the last minute of Christmas, the calculation goes crazy and the trouble of “not enough, not enough” occurs.

You can do it with "I don't have it at home," but there is a reality that a second-class trading company like ours can compete with major companies only by responding to such delicate orders.

The business after the next year is not hindered, so it's like running around from Christmas to the end of the year.

Still, it will be good because there is a holiday for New Year.

I think people who do business all year are amazing.

Speaking of why he suddenly remembered such a thing, such as ...

"Baron Baumeister! This is also the season for Carnival!"

The teacher was forced to participate in troublesome events during this time.

"Oh, it's troublesome ..."

"It's true ..."

Elle complains like me, but that's because of the Carnival event.

Actually, this custom or event is held only around the royal capital.

Speaking of which, since I was a child, I went to Breichburg to wholesale my prey, but I had never heard of a carnival.

Needless to say about my parents' home.

In Knights of Baumeister, there are almost no events other than weddings, funerals, and harvest festivals.

"Is it a church event?"

"I've never heard of it."

Eina and Luise, who grew up in Breichburg, did not know about the Carnival.

I feel like church events are taking place at the church in Breichburg, but that's not true.

"This is an event. Five hundred years ago, Cardinal Valentin, a sanctuary by the church, began to give meat to orphans and slums."

"Do you like cooking?"

The church regularly cooked food in orphanages and slums.

Eina asks Elise if the event is similar.

"It's almost the same, but it's unique that it's the meat of the prey that happens on Cardinal Valentin's birthday, called Cardinal Hunting."

I don't know if you are a good hunter Cardinal, but in this world no one but me cares.

His birth date was close to Christmas on Earth, and he was a priest, not a solicitation to give alms to the poor, but went hunting with his own bow and arrow.

It seems that he was a very strong or aggressive person.

"Cardinal Valentin was a hunting master."

"(I moved my body without giving out money ... it hurt!)"

Since Elise put in the core of the heart so that Elise couldn't hear me, I quietly hit the elbow.

Human, even if it's true, there are things you shouldn't say.

"What is the name Carnival?"

In Europe, I remember that this is a festival in which a costume parade and sweets are performed, but in this world, volunteers cook their prey and hunt for orphans and the poor.

Volunteers are only priests, aristocrats, adventurers, rich wealthy volunteers, and people who can hunt with time.

By the name of Cardinal Valentine who started this, it's not Valentine, it's Christmas time, but we can't eat anything.

The reason why the event is held only around the royal capital may be that there is only one place where it is easy to gather the number of people who can participate.

"Elise, did you have such an event last year?"

"Of course there are every year, but last year Wendelin was busy ..."

Just came to the royal capital and was swung around by various adults, and on his birthday he was tired of being surrounded by many nobles.

So Elise explains that Cardinal Hohenheim was not invited.

"I don't have to leave every year because everyone is busy, but if you're a wealthy member of the church residing in the royal capital, you should leave once every few years."

It's not a duty, but I'm an honorary priest of the church, so it seems like I can show up regularly.

"Vell, don't you donate and don't you care?"

"No, this is a carnival ..."

No matter how great the aristocrats, it is important for this carnival alone to hunt, cook their prey, and serve the poor.

"Um ... performance?"

"Luise, too straightforward ..."

While donations seem to be appreciated if they are large, attending a carnival seems like a kind of political performance.

(4) The person who has the service performs the self-service for the person who does not have it.

Therefore, there is no point in participating unless you participate.

I can understand that kind of thing.

Even in Japan, there were many rich people, politicians, and entertainers who took care of their surrounding eyes and did such things.

"I understand the situation, but only the guru seems strangely happy."

Lel looks at the guru who invites us and prepares for hunting and looks strange.

What's so fun and what to participate in such an event.

"My uncle is here every year for a while."

Because it's the royal palace's first mage, it's convenient if you participate.

In any case, the troublesome paperwork at Ojo is left to the bottom.

If you skip the time of the carnival, it seems that it is now considered to be just right for advertising.

"Sometimes I like hunting! Whether you're an animal or a monster, it's a human instinct to be happy if you hunt a lot!"

"Is that so……"

While watching a guru who was busy preparing for the carnival, we all thought this way.

"" "" (I wonder if Cardinal Valentin and the guru were a similar kind of person ... ")" ""

That was our conviction.

"Vell, I caught a lot."

"Even though we can get a lot, we can't eat one piece of meat."

"Let's enjoy the meal after returning to the house"

"Yes ..."

Carnival is held early in the morning.

For this day, hunting grounds where hunting fees are normally collected are freed up, and hunting grounds where entry is normally prohibited are released, so a large amount of prey was caught.

I, El, Ena, Luise, and Guru, who worked in the hunt until the evening, had a certain sense of accomplishment, but the Carnival is actually here.

You have to cook the prey and share it with orphans and the poor.

To that end, Elise does not help much in hunting, so she is taking part in cooking at the church headquarters in a different way from us.

"Like Wendellin, it's like a big game."

"so-so"

We also helped to prepare the prey.

Drain blood and strip fur.

The cut meat was boiled or baked and distributed free to those who came.

"This ceremony started by Cardinal Saint Valentin, giving blood to all people ..."

Aside from distributing meat dishes to people, an old Cardinal tells a story that he is not sure whether it is a greeting or a narrative, but almost no one has heard it.

It is natural for participants to receive free meat dishes because it is more important.

"Speaking of which, Mr Blantark did not come."

"Last year, he was ordered by Breichrader Margaku, and he was forced to participate."

"Is it okay this year?"

"I guess."

The Breichrader Frontier Hakuya has a mansion in the royal capital, so it seems that some of his vassals will attend the Carnival every year.

Last year, it seems that Blanc-Lark was on duty.

"That's sorry ... Fugu!"

Ell also talks about unnecessary things, so I silence with an elbow and then continue to distribute meat dishes.

"There are a lot of dishes, but there are many people lined up."

"I'm tired ..."

Eina and Luise seem to be busy and tired of hunting, cooking and serving meals early in the morning.

Naturally, me and Elle too.

I was a little excited to hear that there are events that are similar to Christmas or coincide with each other, but I was forced to work and couldn't eat rice properly.

I said, "I don't want to participate in this Christmas modoki again!" I just thought.

"This is the end of serving food."

It was only at night that the food I was preparing was gone.

"Is this over?"

"Vendelin, there's still a night festival left."

Elyse tells me when the cleaning is finished.

It can be guessed that "after-night festival" is like a launch party after a high school school festival.

"(I see, it was tough until the night, so do you have a feast for your comfort?)"

It was unusual to not eat a single meal from morning till night.

Thank you for your hard work and the church will serve meals here.

"Everything is fine for rice. That's enough if you can eat it."

"Is it a dessert?"

"I can't drink alcohol because I'm a minor, but I'm happy for dessert."

El, Eina and Luise seemed happy to come to the same conclusion as me, but it was Elise who stopped them.

"No, until the date changes, there will be a grand narrative at the church headquarters ..."

"eh?"

Apparently the church shavens will give a thankful sermon till midnight, not a party.

"What about the rice?"

"Yes, of course I get some small things."

In this case, the modest meal Elise says is a plain and simple meal.

From morning till midnight, just keep working according to church instructions and listen to the shaven preaching.

On the earth, strict Christians are going to attend masses without a party at Christmas, but the carnival would be the same.

"Uh……"

I don't want to participate, but I can't say "I hate it".

Elise was so generous that she couldn't escape.

"Wendelin, sometimes it's good to take part in such an event."

Elise's full smile.

She tells me from the bottom of her heart.

And Elise doesn't tell me to take part in church events.

Once every few years, even if I make Bleichburg a base for my life, I may not have to participate forever, so I should consider this from the eyes of others around me.

I understand the kindness of her who cares for me, but I didn't want to participate.

After all, I'm a vulgar ordinary person.

"lets go……"

"Yes"

With Elise, we head to the cathedral, the venue for the after-night festival, but there are those who want to escape here.

"I'm urgent ..."

"I have to prepare meals."

"I also help Ena-chan"

The elves tried to escape, but of course I didn't.

Make a “rope” with magic and restrain three people with it.

"Are you really able to escape? Let's hear a thankful preach together."

"Vell may be the representative."

"Vel and her fiance Elise have a good balance."

"Yes, exactly as Ina says."

I really want to escape.

Therefore, there is no reason to miss Elle.

However, only one person was able to escape.

"Are there no guru?"

"Yes ... my uncle has never participated in the after-night festival ..."

I see, I'm going to go out to my favorite hunting and cooking, which is a performance.

I was really impressed by the strength of the guru.

"In the Bible verse 7.3, the apostle Highwell of God helped a traveler who had fallen on the road, but then ..."

After being forced to join, the night festival is boring to death.

The food was served, but only a hard black bread and grape juice.

According to the teachings of the church, black bread is the source of meat and grape juice is the source of blood.

I gained one knowledge of the church, but I don't think it has helped.

My stomach keeps stomaching because that meal is not enough at all, but we can not return to the mansion and eat rice unless the talk of these bosses is over.

The priests have been telling the story of God and his apostles as if they were really there, and the behavior of the saints in the past.

Participants are listening quietly.

To be clear, I don't know what's interesting.

If you look closely, more than half of the participants look like dead fish.

I don't really like and participate since I joined early in the morning, so I think it's natural to be tired.

Some people listened while shining their eyes.

I think my religion is serious, but if such a person gets into evil spirits, I have a nasty idea.

"(I'm hungry ... Ugh!)

"(Be quiet)"

I let Elle hit her elbow three times and concentrate on boring stories.

After all, the festival ended after the date changed.

"Christmas in Japan! I'm sorry to say that most of you aren't Christians and just have a floating party!"

Before she graduated from college, she was not happy to celebrate Christmas after she got a job.

For cakes, chicken, champagne, gifts.

I love Christmas floating above all.

Later, I would instruct Arterio to spread the Japanese-style Christmas party to the public as a late-night festival.
