Episode 14: Reconciliation
Three days have passed since Rodin returned with a number of bruises on her face. When Teresia asked Rodin why she had a bruise, she never answered. He kept silent with a thin face. However, the reason for the bruise will be heard from Clena the next day. He seemed to have a fight with Gerda in the next house.
I didn't know the reason for the quarrel after all, but it was a quarrel that took place on the day of the appraisal. Somehow I have no talent and I feel like I'm the cause of all status E ranks.
The talents were garbled in the appraisal ceremony, and for all ranks E, the manuscripts were grasped and every day, every day, the situation was explained and requests for improvement were made as if they were telekinetic. Not come. However, when Allen was Kenichi, the equipment he had created over the course of a year had disappeared due to obvious negligence on the part of the management, such as a game server down. At that time, there is a track record of having the game master (operating staff) keep making requests for improvement and returning the equipment from the backup data almost every day. I will send my mind every day until a response from God comes.
"Allen, are you ready?"
"Yeah, mom"
I don't think there is anything special to prepare. Just bring a wooden sword just in case. Something has been heavily influenced by Klena.
"Hey, you're going too. That's why I was awake and why I'm sleeping!"
It is Teresia who pulls Rodin lying on a mash. Apparently, he's still messing around.
Khan Khan Khan
A bell rings at 15:00 at the reclamation village.
I'm going to the next house today. Now is the end of April. I'll take care of the fields a little less than usual and go to Krena's house.
(It's been a long time since I went to Krena's house)
Allen has been reincarnated in another world for five and a half years. I have been playing with my neighbor Klena since I was three years old, but almost every time I come from Klena to play. But, of course, he sometimes goes to Krena's house from Allen.
As we have dinner together, we put the ingredients in a basket and leave the house. Get to your neighbor in less than 15 minutes.
"Hello, I've been waiting."
A woman with pink hair and blue eyes responds cheerfully. The hair is short with curly hair.
"Michilda, my rodin was annoying the other day."
"What are you talking about? My Gerda is also a good year, so I told you to be an adult."
This woman's tone is Mithilda, the mother of Clena. Four people are guided to a house where hair has grown in a shack when guided by Mitilda. Of course, they also bring mash.
I stay at the Klena family today.
"Hello, come on !!"
As soon as you enter the house, Klena hears a voice. The voice is more energetic than usual, probably because I came to Clena's house with the whole family.
There is a dirt room, and there is a hearth in front of it, and there are two rooms. It's almost the same as at home. Rather, it is the same as Allen's house.
"Hey, how long have you been relentless! I was up a while ago!"
Gerda, who sleeps like a bear in her bedroom, is dragged with one hand to a room with a hearth. His face is as bruised as Rodin.
After that, preparations for dinner by the joint work of Teresia and Mithilda proceed.
"Hey, aren't you, I'm getting bigger"
While waiting, you will be guided to the children's room next door. This is Clena's sister, Lily. It has the same pink hair as Clena. Her father's hair is brown, so her eyes and hair are her mother's. While saying, I point my hands with a smile, and when I reach out, I get excited.
(It's really healing!)
Clena's sister, Lily, is one and a half years old. Born when Allen was four years old. It's been a while since I met, but I've heard Lily's story often from Clena.
In the meantime, preparation for dinner will proceed. Everyone surrounds the hearth. Such luxurious ingredients are not used. The usual beans, potatoes, flat bread without yeast, and vegetable pots with meat slices.
(It feels like a kindergarten birthday party when I was a child)
It is a hearth for a family that is not so large. When two family members sit down, it's pretty small, but it doesn't matter. I feel very warm in this sight.
"Let's drink!"
"Ah!?"
It's still a bit of a quarrel. Gerda puts something like a brown pottery in front of you. what? Rodin presents an empty wooden cup while thinking of, and pours it there.
"Is this alcohol?"
"Oh"
"What happened?"
Rodin tells Gerda what the serf is about alcohol. It is Gerda who serves sake that does not appear at the harvest festival. The last time Rodin drank was when he married Theresia.
"The village chief came yesterday and left it."
"..."
Somehow that alone, Rodin knew. Wrinkles between eyebrows. Then Gerda talks about the situation for the past three days. The village chief leaves the liquor and will go to report to the lord in the future. He was told that he might take Klena to the city where the lord was.
There is even more wrinkles on Rodin's face near the lord.
"It's not good anymore. The village chief took care of my sake because my kid was sword holy. I don't care about the little things."
"I don't really care. I want to congratulate you, not only officers, but nobles are no longer dreams."
Rodin is not jealous just because Clena is sword holy.
"Well, why don't we stop dating! Even now!
Gerda barks at the momentum of alcohol. The mash and Lily start to cry. And, before saying it all the way, a beautiful right straight is decided on Gerda's right cheek. This is Mitilda's fist. Don't shout because the child cry.
"... If the aristocrat was dating a serf, you might lose a chance. It's a sword."
Fear of Michiruda's fist, Rodin's voice is muted. More than half of the bruises on Rodin and Gerda's face were beaten by Mitilda, who entered arbitration shortly after the defeat.
When I heard that, I knew what caused the fight. In this different world, serfs only marry serfs. The commoner is only the commoner. Perhaps noble families too. Apparently, Allen's lack of talent was not the cause of the quarrel.
A swordsman talent that could be a hero, aside from a swordsman's talent. Klena was so talented that she couldn't fit in just as an officer and a knight. The village mayor will report to the lord two days later.
Rodin told Gerda that he should no longer be a family member. Gerda's reply was a fist.
(Hmm, indeed, are you passing each other? Is it better for your child to go between them?)
"Speaking of which, four people came to the reclamation village!"
Share the story I heard from Rodin a long time ago. Attention is focused on Allen's pure and innocent smile and voice.
"Oh, yeah, Allen. I came from the next village with four people. Like Allen and Clena, I've always been four since childhood."
Michiruda tells a story about memories of the past. It is said that all four were born in a serf's family and played together. He told me that he was a peasant, but he was poor but fun.
Both Rodin and Gerda are silently listening.
Ten years ago, a story came up in such a neighboring village that a new village would be set up here. And the lord's angel says. If you come to a reclamation village and cultivate it to open a village, you can use the fields forever.
"At that time, we talked like this with four people."
Theresia also participates in the talk. The old scene seems to be revived. Serfs cannot own the land, but are rarely suddenly confiscated. However, it is usually the eldest son that can succeed his parents. All four were not firstborn or eldest sons. Sixty percent of the harvest is serfs brought as taxes. The number of children does not matter. If the size of the field does not change, the number of children will increase, and as they grow up and grow up, the food they eat will decrease.
They unanimously went to the reclamation village and tried to develop a new field.
"Yes, four came to an empty village and we all built two houses together."
Gerda also participates in the talk. First of all, we had to build a house. So the construction of both houses is the same. At first, they set up a clay room and a hearth room, and when they have children, talk about adding two more rooms to each house.
"That's right ..."
Rodin closed his eyes and seemed to remember that time. I didn't say anything further, but I revived my memories of my childhood and the first hard days of pioneering.
"Yes, Allen. Rodin was amazing. Did you hear about the first time you defeated Greatbore?"
"Huh? I haven't heard it."
"What !? Stop it !!"
Rodin holds Gerda's mouth. She starts to smile with a smile.
(That's good, it looks like we've made up.)
It seems that the memories of his childhood and the hardships of the pioneer village have reconciled. The conversation in the hearth continued late into the night.
