Tadashi Tanaka (41) Birth of a Kingdom – ‘Medieval Europe Is Too Harsh!’

Early morning

Everyone took a breather at the end of their morning training in the mansion's garden.

I was taking part in a martial arts morning audition for my servants to get used to the world soon.

Seven years old can't do a lot of training or anything, but I knew that actively participating in this work was a trick that would familiarize me with the new organization.

Though to the extent that it sticks back and waves the sword to the extent that it does not interfere.

The main training is swords and shields. They can't use a bow inside the Wang capital.

"Barian, what do you say? Do you remember anything?

It was my brother Robert who was in training with me after the training.

Robert is a refreshingly handsome man with bright brown hair and green eyes, similar to his mother.

He's 12 years old and five years older than I am.

"Brother, I'm sorry, nothing."

I finally answered in local language.

"Is that so… well, there is no rush, but don't call me brother, etc. It's so strange."

Robert laughed bitterly at my words.

A brother is an expression of respect for his brother, but apparently Robert didn't like it.

"Excuse me, then, what?

"Brother, brother…………………"

Robert is in a good mood to see how honest I am.

Apparently, Varian was a busy kid until I got in, and he wasn't close to Robert or any of the other kids.

Actually, the servant kids in the mansion don't even talk to me... I'm a botch.

"Brother, today, Mother and I are going to church."

"I see... that's a good thing. I can't, the church is boring.

Today is the day you come to church.

I'm not interested in the religion of this land.

But religion is something like the OS of society and common sense.

It would be dangerous to get out of here significantly... even the modern Japanese would be angry if a foreigner stole a Buddha's statue and a climber climbing the Great Rock, which was the shrine's goddess somewhere, would be slapped.

It will be more than that in the underdeveloped kingdom of Amoros of civilization.

Conversely, acts that appear to be faithful should be highly favorable.

I needed to know the religion of the kingdom of Amoros.

I head to the dining room for breakfast with Robert.

In the kingdom of Amoros, meals are only served twice a day, late breakfast and early dinner.

We all eat dinner together, but breakfast is often served sassy in the dining room and kitchen.

There's a big table in the biggest room with Don, and I call it the dining room on my own.

The breakfast menu is soup with black bread with cheese and root vegetables.

Bread is hard and cheese is intense.

The soup is about halfway between the simmer and the soup and the flavor is thin.

Apparently the kingdom of Amoros has no good food situation.

... It's a mess...

I was annoyed inside but gagged at the meal.

Varian's body is not fuel-efficient, and if he does, he gets hungry.

I can't think of any flavor.

"Ha, the variants are awesome...... Umai?

"Yes, feed me, I can, I'm just happy."

When I answered Robert's words, he thought a little.

"Can you just feed me... Balian, you've changed."

Robert squeaked smugly.

"Balian, I like you better now than I ever have... I guess that's what everyone thinks."

When Robert said that, "My mother's waiting," he urged me.

... I didn't know you'd be happy to lose your memory from your real brother... Varian was a real fucking kid...

I turned to my mother with a slightly complicated thought.

………………

My mother takes me to church.

When I say church, it is a qualitative one, and there is no stained glass, no mural, etc.

There's just a chair lined up in a martial stone hall.

There is no such thing as a god, but some kind of radial symbol is painted on the wall.

This is called the Church of Holy Heaven, spreading a religion that makes the Sun God the only God... I don't know, but in the kingdom of Amoros it seems like a mainstream religion.

Your sermon begins after everyone summons something like the Sutra called the sacrament.

Today's boy is Osama who tried to demystify me... apparently he's great and everyone listens to him in a serious atmosphere.

The doctrine of the Holy Heavenly Church is simple, if you do good, you go to extreme ease or heaven, if you do bad, you go to hell... I think it's easy to understand and good.

They've also decided on 'good things' to protect, and say nine or nine virtues: tolerance, patience, mercy, moderation, courage, chastity, humility, diligence, faith.

I seem to be preaching the dignity of chastity today.

My mother and I met with the boy after listening to a sermon in a special place like the Count's.

This kid is a Linnell master, a great kid from church about 40 years old.

Master Linnell is a skinny kid with his head shaved up to a tulu...... I hear the boy from Holy Heaven Church shaves his hair.

"How do you like it, Master Barian?

"That's … still not healing."

Lucienne, Master Linnell and Barrian's mother, stared at me painfully.

"Master Barian was very eager to hear the teaching, are you interested in the teaching of Holy Heaven?

Master Linnell spoke to me kindly.

"Yes, very, very interested, my wife is Jeong-sook, my husband is honest with my wife, I know very well"

When I followed through on today's sermon, Master Linnell and Lucienne opened their eyes in surprise.

"Dear Lucienne…… this is…"

Master Linnell confirms something to Lucienne whispering, but she is shaking her head down to the side... did she say anything unsavory?

"Dear Barian, something else...... yes, why should people live in chastity?

"…… If people, like colours……… Father's, do not know, more children, parents, do not feed children, children, do not respect their parents, the world is disturbed.

I answered the sermon just the way it was... if I didn't make the arrangement, I should be fine... but I'm a little nervous about religion because I don't know where the bumps are.

"No way, at seven... Dear Barian, what is chastity?

"Yes, man's protection, ought, right path, nine virtues... tolerance, mercy, moderation, courage, chastity, humility, faith... erm"

When I count the folds, I'm about two short.

"Patience and diligence."

Master Linnell spoke to me gently.

"Dear Lucienne...... I'm surprised, Master Barrian is loved by God. It must also make sense to lose your memory."

"No way, the variants…………"

Looking at the two of them, I noticed that... I overdid it... it would definitely be unnatural for a seven-year-old to be interested in talking about a 12-year-old Robert and "bored."

I didn't realize I was seven yet.

"Master Barian will be one of the rarest high priests in the world..."

"But the monastery has…………"

I hear suspicious conversations from earlier... I am not joking, I am not willing to leave home at a young height.

I make up my mind and speak to the two of you. Worrying about being childish.

"I don't like you, brother, the Lioncools, because I want to help you."

When I apologized, Master Linnell laughed, "This is faster".

"Master Barrian likes his brother."

"Yes, gentle, strong"

Lucienne moisturizes her eyes with gratitude when she hears my words.

Perhaps he was worried that Robert and Barrian's brothers were not close... there would normally be a brotherhood dispute in the aristocracy, and there would be no impossibility.

"Then will you be academically? Master Barian is very qualitative. There are books in church."

"Yes, I do, Mother. I want to learn."

"Of course," she smiled as I laid eyes on my mother.

Thus I was to study academics in the Holy Heavenly Church.

Neglecting the common sense of society in the kingdom of Amoros, this is quite a thankful offer for me.

From the next day on, I will be training with the ministers in the morning and doing my schedule of attending church in the afternoon... if I keep going like this, I should have quite a few skills by the time I grow up.

As I found out a little later, the literacy rate in the Kingdom of Amoros is extremely low, and it seems that few people in rural areas can read or write the letters except the clergy.

Amazingly, even lower nobles are sometimes illiterate as "enough if their names are written" or something...... I'm really glad my mother is someone who understands academics.

I chewed up the happiness I could learn from Master Linnell.
