The day of the baptism has come.
I came to the church of King's Landing, drawn by my father and mother.
I am wearing a new dress that I received for today's day. I'm glad that onee-sama is not back.
The profession given by God has a high rate of improvement in the skills associated with it, which is considered a gift and a favor from God. For example, suppose there was a child who could use magic from before baptism, and a knight was given a profession in the ritual. Then, even if she could use magic, she wouldn't be a magician. That is because the Church condemns it as a refusal of the profession that God has given, that is, 'transgression to God'. Therefore, when seeking employment, they are required to present a "vocational certificate" to be given at the time of baptism, and if it is not a suitable occupation, it becomes very difficult to find employment in the first place.
There are many five-year-old children lined up in the church with their parents. The children are filled with smiles as they dream of a future that they will be told.
I also have a long waiting time, so I feel very sophisticated.
"It's okay, I'm sure Daisy will be the wizard."
That's why he held my father's hand so tightly to encourage me.
The order in which they were called seemed to be called by the priests in the order of the names on the list. Perhaps the nobles are in order of family, and I, the son of the Vicomte, have not yet been called. And then baptize the children of the civilian population.
Daisy von Presleria.
The priest finally calls out his name.
"Yes"
and walks to the center in front of the church chapel.
"Now, put your hands on this crystal."
The priest urged me to put my hand on the magic crystal.
I obey it honestly.
"O God, give Daisy von Presleria the blessing of five years old and a worthy profession."
A dazzling light covered my hand.
... and the profession shown was' Alchemist '.
"... I'm not a wizard..."
I murmured, thanked the priest, and hurriedly walked out of the church.
Outside the church, I cried aloud.
After that, my mother and father hugged me and stroked my back.
However, I was only able to cry because of the shock that oniisama and onee-sama had just assumed that they would naturally be given.

My daughter was given the profession of 'Alchemist'.
It was not very pleasant as a noble family. My daughter is confined to her room when she returns from the baptism.
"Alchemist", a profession that is not popular with aristocrats, is the main job of making various potions and helping people live their lives. Legendary elixirs and sage stones can be made... legendary, but I doubt it's true. It is said that it does not exist in reality.
Most people sell potion shops, and most of them only sell things that can be made at the beginner level.
Even if I married a noble family, it was a reality that most offers were made as an accompaniment to the elderly and as a caregiver to the home where the caregiver was staying, and it was not a desirable marital voice for very young daughters.
My father, Henry, was thinking. What to do with what has been decided.
Unlike my daughter, who was still in her room crying, I was a father and loved Daisy as her daughter. I have to think for my child.
Daisy's career has been decided, and whether she will be happy or not depends on what she and our parents will do to support her.
How do you treat and raise your daughter, who has been designated as an "alchemist" who is an unfaithful job, and you will have a happy life. I thought that I loved my family equally.
... by the way, it seems fashionable in the alley to take care of a child who is in an unfair position. I don't have such a choice from the beginning.
I went to my wife's room.
Rose, are you there?
Knock gently on the door and say hello to your beloved Roselia.
"Yes, I'm here. Ellie, please open it."
The maid followed the words and opened the door.
Entering the room, I kiss my wife with a dear greeting on her cheek.
"I want to talk about Daisy's future. Can you give me your time now?
Roselia kisses me back and gives me a beautiful smile.
"Of course, Henry. She deserves to be our beloved child, our parent."
So Rose invites me to the sofa and I sit next to her. Ellie, the maid, prepared a cup of tea for the two and left the room in return.
"It's about Daisy's Alchemist."
Rose nods to my cut out words.
"If you are lazy, it is a profession that is difficult for noble children to live a happy life. You know that, don't you?
Rose nodded again. The expression of the mother who thinks of her child is filled with sadness.
"It was pathetic of her not to take up the role of magician.... but depending on how I think about it, I don't think her personality is as bad as the job."
I was intrigued by the unexpected opinion coming out of Rose's mouth.
"Rose, what does that mean?
Rosé answers by placing a light tea in her mouth.
"She is very enthusiastic about her studies. I almost learned reading and writing calculations that year. Besides, he was originally interested in plants and enthusiastic about research. With that personality, I wonder if it is possible for an alchemist to live happily enough as a worker, even if it is called an encounter."
That's how Daisy looked into the garden where the roses grew up with her hands.
Hmm, I nod with Rose's opinion.
"First of all, let her decide to live as an 'alchemist' herself... and we'll help her."
Rose is a wise mother who often looks at her children. Open your mouth further and suggest to me.
"Speaking of which, Daisy loves the Plant Atlas and the Herbal Atlas. Why don't you give me a book on alchemy and I'll be honest with you?
"The boulder is my rosé!
I kiss my lips with my hands on my wife's shoulders.
"Quickly, I'm going to buy her what she needs!
I left the room early with a feeling of grief clearing up.
