It's all one flower.

"Well, Pina and Tis, please distribute the sweets."

Yes, oniichan, thank you for the spell.

The next morning, Leno asked his sisters about the confectionery they baked yesterday, and they left the village under the old administration together with Queiro.The destination is Chernoknyjinik, the underground city of Lanterna Island.I went to buy the usual spell.

As soon as I entered the spell shop, I saw Fiarka as a courier.

The counter is unusual, with Roark and the other store number.

"Oh, good morning. You're early today."

"Good morning. I thought I'd finish it in the morning."

The green-haired transporter laughs with affection and responds to Krilo, whom he just met in the Kingdom of Amitostigma the other day.

Glasses boy Skinny makes tea with a more familiar hand.The black tea I put in front of Fiarka is a good color.

... now you can do it properly.

Leno's mouth was flabbergasted.

Skynum poured hot water from the pot into the teapot and arranged the teaware in two legs.

Roark stopped grabbing the pot.

"Hey... are you going to let the store managers out?

"Eh...?

"Ah, that's fine, that's fine.If you could just add some tea and leaves. "

Leno said that Skinny put down a teapot with crying eyes and leaned.

"I just got here.Just in case, you guys want to hear his report?If you're in a hurry, I'll just give you the data later. "

"No, I'm not in such a hurry, I'm fine."

Krilo said, lower his hips to the counter seat.Leno sat down and gave Roark the notes of the required spells.

There are two tablet terminals in front of Fiarka.

Looking at the note, Roark reached out to the spell shelf and said.

"I've been researching churches and libraries on the mainland of Artel."

"Library or research?

When Leno heard, Rourke did not stop putting out the spell and turned over his shoulder and replied.

"I went to find out how many books were left."

"What? Not the contents, but the book itself?

Croilo rounds his blue eyes.

"This tea is really delicious."

When Fiarka smiled with the tea ware, Skynum finally raised his face and started moving.For a moment, Roark threw an uncomfortable gaze at his coworker, but immediately disappeared his expression and continued reporting.

"As expected, I didn't have any books on the exam."

"Huh? Is that all on loan?Or a thief?

"I was on loan.Poor people who can't even buy reference books rent paper books in the library and study at home. "

"Ah... hmm?But because the beast is leaving, you're off school, right?

Queiro leans his neck.

Skynum poured tea into the teapot as he glimpsed the cursed roak.

"The church was full of people."

Roark's voice mixes with a sarcastic laugh.

Places where people gather, such as waiting for a pay phone, tend to be attacked by beasts.

"They also distributed expired preserved foods donated by food companies."

"There are too many people in the church, and one day it's going to be like the Lufthansa Church."

Fiarka, a courier, puts two terminals on at the same time.It seems that a map is displayed on one of them.I couldn't see the other one from Leno's position.

"Learning sessions and food distribution were limited to churches in districts with large numbers of poor families.I only had a few paper textbooks left, and I didn't have a whole class. "

"Artel is not paper. Do you have a textbook?

Leno asked Roark on his back, but he answered Skynum, a former theologian.

"Yes, we have more textbooks for e-books.If you don't download it and go to the publisher's cloud to read it, many people will have trouble studying now that the Internet is not working. "

I didn't really understand the technical terms, but I didn't know what to ask Leno.

Cruro seemed to understand and talked with a natural face.

"Aren't Arthur people supposed to have terminals?Falkill, can't you wire it to the school computer and copy it like you're doing?

"It's a mechanism that can't be copied because publishers have trouble copying it without permission."

"Besides, poor homes can't even have kids' devices.I can only borrow it during class at school, but I can't use it anymore. "

"Arthurs can't study either?

Queiro sounded surprised at the answers given by the two shopkeepers.

... Pinnas can't go to school either.

"Paper reference books are exploding in bookstores."

"Leave the poor behind.I can't believe I had to attend a church study meeting in preparation for being attacked by a beast. "

Fiarka laughs with her nose.

Roark said with all the spells.

"Artel is an educated society, so it's hard to get a job without going to school."

"Hmm? Does that mean poor people die?

Reno was astonished at the Artel government's ruthlessness.

"I think there's something about printing and distributing textbooks at school."

"Electronization and paperless is going on at the same time, and more schools are not spending enough on printing."

Hee, I'm familiar with boulders.

When Leno was impressed, Skynum dyed her cheeks slightly.

Roark, who checked the notes and the actual spell, said in the envelope.

"It's a special demand that came down after the collapse of a lot of small and medium-sized printing companies, so the rest of the vendors are dying and printing."

"No matter how much it's printed, you can't buy it without money."

Queiro smiles bitterly.

Leno had a lot of questions.

Kilcrusm is a doctrine like, "Don't rely on magic, let's study hard." Why are there so many children who can't study?

"Tuition is free, but there's nothing we can do to help poor kids drop out of high school and college and join the army to earn a living."

Leno was bathed in cold water by Roark's light explanation.

When I first met him, I remember the rough eyes that Junior Soldier Morph showed me.

"Maybe you went out of your way to be a soldier?

"I don't know."

"Many children in refugee camps and parts of Nemoralis are unable to study without teaching materials, but the TFG is not trying to get them out of school and into the army."

"Some people volunteer to join the Liberation Army or the Ambush."

Roark, who fought at the Aquillo base, said no.

"Recently donations have been made to the refugee camp, but we need to take measures to increase Artel's troop strength."

The courier Fiarka seems to be in trouble.

Skinny suddenly remembers his face and pours tea into the tea ware.It was slightly bitter, but I couldn't drink it enough.
