It's all one flower.

While waiting for the meal set, Krilo and Skynum seem to be busy with their tablet devices.

The pharmacist Awelana writes down in her notebook the stories she heard from the priests of the Western Temple and the rumours she heard in the queue of worship.

At the surrounding tables, locals are intrigued by the conversation, but a group of tourists don't talk with them, and they can't afford to lean down and put on a small terminal.

It seems that each of them built a wall of [fresh water] with the others.

... would Nemoralis do the same if the Internet were available?

With the advent of new means of communication, Awellana was surprised that people's behavior changed so much.

Somehow, I felt left behind by two people surrounding the same table, and I gently peeked into the hands of Queiro.

On the same screen as the notebook is a guide to the use of the temple library.

Read the note Quilo's hand only moves to show more, but the skinny across the street puts on the screen at an incredible speed about what to do.It was not a completely immersed and vocal atmosphere.

"Yes, please wait.Daily meal set for three people.Please take your time. "

Krilo raised his face and received it, but Skinnum remained on the screen.The mass cafeteria looks familiar with serving, and I leave a set meal served on a plate.

"Mr. Skinny, I'm going to chill the rice."

Awellana finally raised her face when she called.

"Ah, hah, yes!I'm sorry! "

"It's okay, it's okay.You've been storing emails, haven't you?

Cruello says with a face that knows what he's doing.

Skynum relaxed his shoulders and took the spoon.

"Yes, I also got a reply, but I was asking for a dictionary and reference book."

"Donation?

"The Decarnus Bookstore Co., Ltd. on the previous bill is the printer of the Adventurer Cactus series."

Ahh!

Awellana knew what Skinny wanted to do, but she didn't hold her tongue and waited.

"When I was in seminary, I knew about the existence of the poor, but I didn't really know what kind of life I was going to lead... and I didn't even want to know."

Skynum squeezes the spoon and squeezes out the taro without getting involved in the cooking.

"I didn't know how hard it was to work until Mr. Rourke took me out."

According to Roark's report, Skynum discovered that he was a powerful people in his childhood and grew up separated from his family.But economically, it falls into a fairly privileged category.

... hmm? Is that it?

"But you sell a lot of novels, right?That's a good job. "

Awellana said, Skinnum shook his neck to the side and lay his eyes down.

"It's not a direct job to help people.Sometimes you need to distract yourself, but giving a book to someone who's hungry and dying won't help. "

Awellana herself is a sorcerer's medic.[Thinking (owl)] As a scholarly pharmacist (gizzard), he makes magic medicine and diagnoses.Saving people from injuries and illnesses is the job.

"If you starve to death, magic medicine can't help you directly.You can trade books for food. "

As a scholarly fisherman, my brother Abiace can give fish to hungry people, but it is also limited to the waterfront where the fish live.Far from Lake Racchus, you can't help it in the mountains.

Skynum raised his face, but his eyes were still filled with tears.

Awellana looked next door.

Until the beginning of the war, Krilo worked in the acoustic equipment factory, manufacturing speakers, record players, radios and microphones.I did not ask which equipment assembly process, but I am certain that it is not a job that directly satisfies the hunger of others.

"Perhaps... people who are poor and didn't even have the opportunity to acquire knowledge and technology can be hired because they don't need it for life and society, and they won't be able to go around the world if they don't have it, but they get paid cheaply or something like that?

"Yes, it is."

Former theologian Skynum nodded forcefully to gain my affection.

"The manager will give me a salary that I can live on properly.But some of the other jobs I found out about in the basement seemed to be completely lacking, and some of them had several jobs to do. "

"Your salary... well, the price of your work is not something that goes up in proportion to the hardness of your work."

"What? So how is it calculated?

Awellana said that she had scared eyes and asked questions.

"The rice is cold, let's eat and talk."

About two thirds of Krilo's plates are left.

Awellana waited for Skynum to start cooking.

"For example, in Nemoralys, the state determines the minimum wage and the employer calculates it so that it is not cheaper."

Skynum said something with his eyes and increased the rate of chewing.

Awellana puts pumpkin salad in her mouth.The steamed squash is filled with minced carrots and onions, and the sweetness spreads to the mouth.

"How do we calculate it?

"For example, in a restaurant like this, there are various expenses such as store rent, utilities, material purchase costs, waste losses, taxes, social insurance premiums, etc., and we subtract that from the meal expenses paid by the customer and pay the store manager and employees the remainder."

Simplified to the extent possible, Skynum lived in an environment isolated from society until just two years ago.Can you imagine a former theologian?

Avellana eats chicken skewers and waits for a reaction.

"If you have few customers and you don't make any money, you don't get paid?

... my head is spinning fast after all.

Awellana swallowed the chicken with admiration.

"In fact, you have to pay for the work you have done, so for the shop side, labor costs... employees' salaries and so on are also expenses."

"But if you don't make money, you can't pay, right?

The pharmacist Awellana was once again impressed by the sharp questions of former theologian Skinny.
