It's all one flower.
742. Rufus Seminary
Rufus Seminary is located in the southwest of Rufus, the capital of the Republic of Artel.
When the plane passed over, Roark stuck it on the window to confirm it, but the capital, Rufus alone, was much bigger than he had imagined. It is a long way from the city of Ignikans on the South Vieetfi Bridge. I had a headache about how to safely travel this distance.
The exterior of the quarters reminded Roark of the barracks at Aquillo Base. Rugged three floors of reinforced concrete, painfully white to the eye. The interior was also dazzling white, and the brilliantly illuminated LED lights were arranged to have as little shadow as possible.
I was told there were six large rooms and two and a private room, but Roark was given a private room.
"We use fire, so the bath, dining room and cooking area are separate buildings. Be sure to behave in a disciplined manner so as not to delay the time."
"Yes, Augur Priest"
Dressed in a brand new uniform, Roark responded in an exemplary manner to the elderly priest. I don't even have to ask why I'm in the room.
... anyway, you're the money or the cone.
On the bed, there is a pure white uniform and sleeping roll, and new underwear, which is folded and stacked properly. The small bookshelf was packed with textbooks and the Bible and stationery were waiting at the desk.
The curtains that shake in the chilly breeze and the sheets on the bed are pure white.
The priest's clothes were also unclean white, and when he gazed, he could see fine embroidery in yarn of the same colour.
"And did someone tell you about the tablet device?
"Yes. The branch manager of Lyabina told me that the priest would prepare it. Senator Padsnyejnik and I were also given the e-mail address of the president of the board of directors of Siubel at Caesias School."
As Roark put a note out of his jacket pocket and spread it, the priest looked at the piece of paper and nodded, placing the booklet on his desk.
"It will be hard to remember a lot at once. The body of the terminal will be given to you when you are used to living here. Please be careful not to lose that note."
"Yes, thank you for your attention"
The booklet was an instruction manual for tablet devices.
An elderly priest deliberately explains the rules of the quarters. Roark overheard half of it pretending to listen eagerly.
In the middle of a well-maintained lawn visible through a window, a little big tree scatters red colored leaves in the wind.
"Finally, do you have any questions?
"Hmmm...... there's so much I don't know, I don't even know what I don't know"
"Right. We priests, of course (and of course), and all our alumni, Roark, have learned that you are a special international student. Listen to anything you don't know and try to get used to it quickly."
"Yes. I'll do my best"
The Augur Priest deepened the wrinkles in his eyes and cut the mark of the path of the holy star.
"Now, please be careful not to be late for dinner. You can clean up your personal belongings by yourself, right?
"Yes, I'm fine"
... I'm not an elementary school student.
Roark sent out a quiet exited Augur Priest in a gratuitous manner and locked him up waiting for his footsteps to be deafened.
Again, look around the given room.
Wooden single bed, desk, bookshelf, small cubicle with just three steps, coat hanging beside door, trash can and cleaning utensil in corner. It's narrower than my parents' own room, but I didn't feel cramped because I had less stuff.
... You're in trouble.
I wish I could have brought in the suitcase without being able to examine it at all, but there is no key attached to the box or to the desk drawer. There was absolutely no place to hide the magic.
Anyway, where there was a key to storage, the housekeeper or priest would have a master key, rethink the measures.
... under the bed? No, you can't.
Whatever it is, it's going to be a stash of porn books. Involving a large number of boys students, they will be the first to look into it. Behind the back, it's easier for the adults here to think that one or two pieces of knowledge and experience are on top.
Make a cut that there is no stash indoors, and think of your next hand.
... Viyounoke's talisman and [crystal] are in the purse, so what do you do with the wound pills and [protective gloves] and jewelry... right?
A line of mobile distributors gained immense wealth by selling Thousand Years Mushrooms (Sennentake). Within Roark's portion, the majority of the gems and [magic crystals] gave way to the Leno storekeepers. The only [crystal] I left in my hand is the one Viyunok made me and gave me along with the talisman and one that makes up for my action.
Only half of the wound medicine was given to my mother as a painkiller, but I brought five palm-sized plastic containers just in case.
... There are medicines that can be made by people without power with the same ingredients, so let's push them through.
[Thoughtful Owl] Even if you are not a school wizard, you can drain the moisture from the herbs that become wound medicines, fry them with milk fat, and make ointments. Because it is not a magic medicine, it is weak, but it is a medicine that improves wound healing.
Only one [Invisible Shield] leather glove was given to me by a pharmacist (dull) candidate, but the spell was embroidered with powerful words and at a glance I could tell it was a magical object.
... gloves... flip them over, put them in your pockets and carry them with you.
I threw it into my trouser pocket, remembering my liver, if I forgot to put it out before washing and if I wasn't careful not to change it when I changed.
The gems have ten topaz and twelve small grain catseye. Five of the catseye, which I left with my father, returned as they were.
... You don't have to leave your skin alone because it's time to go to Lanterna Island after collecting information.
Where should I hide it outside?
On the premises of the Rufus seminary, the "special international student" Roark, coming from the Republic of Nemoralis, stands out no matter what he does. In addition, there were fears (presumably) found in other students and cleaners.
... You can't go outside now.
I dare not take my clothes and treat them with a different dictionary and stationery on my desk.
The little leather bags left in the suitcase were much heavier. I can't put it all in my purse. I don't know which is more valuable for Topaz or Catseye or Roark. As far as I can see, a lot of gems have seemed like stone.
The sound of the alarm clock ticking the hour is heard on top of the clock. I felt rushed and looked at the clock.
... Ahh! Already this time...... erm, erm...?
I'm cutting thirty minutes till dinner.
When the suitcase was placed on the wall on the foot side of the bed, only two sachets of gems remained. In case of Congressman Padsnygenik's mansion, he hung the sachet on his shoulder with a string and hid it under his armpit, but he had to take off his clothes when bathing. It will stand out in the communal baths.
I'll just put it in my purse. [Crystal of Magic] The two are both about the size of the first joint of the pinky. Magic stored in crystals engraved with powerful words illuminates the inside of the wallet with light. I tried putting in a small catseye, but the three kept my mouth shut.
I can give up and get one out and get on my way.
The wind broke out and the big trees in the garden went out of their way.
The leaves of the red tree dance in the evening sky.
... Thursday... Ah!
Topaz bags were packed in underwear at the bottom of the bag.
Grab the Catseye sachet and hurry to the staff room. He knocked softly and informed the facialized official of his coming with a serious look.
"This is Roark, an international student. Is there an Augur Priest here? I just forgot to tell you something important..."
"Important? What is it?
"I want to tell the priest directly."
"... Really? Wait right there."
Officials pulled in without pursuing any further.
Augur Priest, who came out slightly, heard with a worried face.
"Mr. Roark, what's wrong?
"Priest, ears..."
I whisper with my hands around the ear of the priest, who turned to me.
"My father gave me a jewel for living here. But there's nowhere I can lock my room, and I'm worried if a thief comes from the outside..."
"Now ask the chairman to keep it in the vault in the chairman's office."
Roark sparkled his eyes at how well he had done and put out a bag full of gems.
"Thank you"
A small grain of catseye receives a sachet packed with ten, and Augur Priest nods heavily.
"... this is... Father, you let me have a lot of it for a long time. It has to be mixed with the general donation. Ask your accountant to make a deposit card."
"Depository cards...... such a big deal like a bank......"
"Because it's about money. You should keep it decent."
The Augur Priest had Roark hold the sachet in his hand and returned to the staff room.
... Is Augur Priest an uncorrupted priest?
That's not why I'm a good wack to forgive. Roark waited with the weight of the stone carved into his heart in his palms.
In the woods if you want to hide the trees.
Deposit some of the jewels in the seminary vault along with other valuables, and the rest in the licence. In the unlikely event that a sachet is found, all efforts are made to noise underwear as a victim of being fished.
If it was not possible to do so, I decided to ensure my safety by saying that I had learned that valuables should be dispersed during evacuation.
When you find the contents of your wallet, Nemoralis will be able to push it off when you say that in both wheels of the country, you mixed it in because there are so many barter deals.
"Thank you for waiting. Let's go to the president's office."
"What? Now? The rice..."
"It will be a little late, but this has to be done first. Let's hurry."
Roark followed the Augur Priest and accounting staff to the back of the long corridor.
