... I wonder what it was.

Krew tilted his neck as he looked out at the door of the jewellery processing chamber that closed with a sound. By stroking the stiff and mundane parts, the restless mind is suppressed.

I was curious about two things.

One is that Sputnik, who held the letter, has been watching Krew still. After reading the letter, I watched about Crewe as I thought about something, so I'm sure the cause was the contents of the mail, but according to what you showed me in the mail, that wasn't particularly unusual, it was from the Jewellery Chamber. But what does that have to do with Crewe? Sputnik himself didn't explain it to me, so that again raised the question of Krew.

And the other thing about "What I cared about" is - geez, and again, I hold on to mundane. This one was already no longer the subject of Crewe's interest. What I'm more interested in right now than that.

The machining room door does not show any signs of opening.

"Yeah......"

Employees (Crewe) usually do not open mail to store owners. Because in the unlikely event that what you receive is malicious mail, if you inadvertently open it, it will be a big deal. Once I set up a shop here, early on, and I said to Sputnik, "If you had a blade or a dangerous object in it, you wouldn't notice and open it if you weren't used to that stuff, would you?," it was agreed that any receipt would always be opened by the store owner. For the record, the mail that arrived shortly afterwards contained long dark hair and long love sentences, and I remember Sputnik losing his word.

Also, even if it wasn't dangerous like that, or even if it had been opened, it would be tough if it had broken or tainted the contents, or lost them. If that is an important document received from the Chamber of Commerce, it is all the more so. So Crewe didn't change the mail to the store owner other than what Sputnik said he could "see" or "like to see".

But... but. Krew thought as he looked at the counter, thinking of the mail that should have been exactly under the counter.

I wonder what it said. Very. Very.

The machining room door still doesn't open. Neither does the entrance door show any signs of opening. Softly, I looked around softly, making sure there was no one in the store but myself… In Crewe's heart, a demon was born.

"... for a little while, okay"

You can't tell me. It's Sputnik's fault. With that in mind, I peek under the counter. Of the several envelopes that were there, take out what he was looking at earlier and read the contents.

A letter from the Jewelry Chamber of Commerce, a business letter, what Crewe thought.

But in that sentence, unexpectedly, my name was given...

"Sputnik, come on!

Ba Ta.

Sputnik, who is working, is reluctant to allow others to enter the processing room.

So Krew, too, is trying not to speak up on rare things, but this time it's an exception. When I walked over to Sputnik, who frowned and had an obviously unpleasant look on his face, I let him put up a note saying, "I'm scared."

"This! This, what is it!!

"... you saw it"

What Sputnik vomited about how he neglected it was a sighing voice. Krew takes that response as what Sputnik allowed the conversation to do, and goes on to say it.

"Yes, um, look at this letter. It's me, uh, uh, it's that one"

"Which"

"Um, uh, that's it. Uh, yeah, 'Ya and Tate can't wait'"

…………

"I can't wait to see Yoko."

"Just a tat"

I wanted to share as many feelings as possible, but it seemed like you were too greedy.

Anyway. Crewe's mind, who read the letter, had 'what I want to tell you', which is so important.

"Um, uh"

"What?"

"School, I'd like to go. Me."

Crewe doesn't know much about what a school is like, which was written in a letter. But I knew it was a place where you could teach me wisdom and knowledge and learn a lot of 'things you don't know'.

"Um, if it's money, it's in the safe deposit box in my room!

"What are you talking about, enough tuition?"

"It's full of money I got for my change when I bought snacks and stuff!

"More and more?"

Sputnik's answer is sober, though his nose roughly says. Crewe, who didn't know what tuition cost so much, snorted at the frightened word.

"Then, uh, uh... yes, with birth payments or something"

Yeah, even Crewe works every day. Sometimes I go out to play, but I work as an employee of this store. So if you save your salary by putting up with treats or putting up with clothes and toys you want, even though the money in your current piggy bank may not be enough, then one day it's this tuition. With that in mind, I insist.

"And then there's, um... Hi-hi, I need you - even if you put U-chan in quality..."

"I just turned it into an array of grass, and I wonder if I can borrow a single piece of copper coin"

Sputnik seems to have given up work before sifting trembling crew. I put the gripping tool on my desk and said this as I wiped my hand with a cloth.

"... if it's money, there is"

"Eh."

"First and foremost, that paycheck I pay you on a regular basis is not the full deal. Give me as much as you need to live every day, and I'm saving the rest. 'It's not good to give more money to a child than you need,' that woman also instructed me... though I would have arranged that when I hired you back in the day. I'll give you what I've saved, deducted, when the day comes when you'll need it."

Was I?

I'll tilt my neck and explore my memory, but I can't remember. In the first place, I felt like I had rarely heard anything else about 'money I could free myself' at the time. The first thing Crewe got on hand as a paycheck was a couple of copper coins and a bunny stuffed 'uh-huh' -

"In the first place. Even if you don't use it like that, if it's a necessary expense for an employee to study, it's not too vulgar to pay from our necessary expenses as a benefit expense. So that's not the problem."

"And"

I mean, the problem is, they don't mean money.

When asked, Sputnik said this with his elbow on his desk and his hand supporting his jaw.

The school's in Vealton.

Vealton.

It was written in the letter, but it was an unfamiliar place name for Crewe.

"Remember, Vealton. Sure, I went there once when I was traveling.... You don't seem to remember."

Though I didn't say anything, I seemed to understand when I saw a decent look on Crewe's face. You're right, I don't remember. I remember touring a lot of cities from when I was hired by Sputnik until I reached the city of Riafiat, but now that I have had a lot of memories in Riafiat, I have forgotten most of them.

"It's southwest of Finetica, and it's a big city there. It's flourishing better than here. The wizard will be in the city, but it is a school that is cordial with the Jewellery Chamber. The correspondence around it is done in twelve minutes"

Southwest of Finetica. That said, Crewe draws a continental map in his head. The city of Riafiat is east of Finetica. That means that from the city of Riafiat, the city of Viearton is further away than the city of Finetica.

... then what Sputnik cares about is Krew's carriage sickness?

But that's not enough to guide you either. Mmm, and I strained my chest.

"It's okay. Candy I ate when I came back from Finetica City, I wouldn't have gotten drunk at all if I was licking that one. If only you could get it back..."

I don't like it.

It was the word of a confident crew, but Sputnik blocked it off lightly.

"You, even Veal ton, can't you go alone?

"Huh?"

I lost my word on that allegation.

Alone?

"... Mr. Sputnik won't go with you, will he?

"I have a store. I'm not going."

If you ask me, it's natural.

"The duration of the experiential school is a round trip between the rear fiat viealton. And I know because I went there a long time ago, but I did need a gem school experiential school for about three days at a time."

The middle finger, drug finger and pinky finger stood with the words.

"So at least three days, plus a round trip. More than that if the experiential school curriculum is long. In the meantime, you, all by yourself, without me, about your days and your goodwill? You go to a city you don't know, you stay in an inn, you go to school, you come home. You do everything from checking in at the inn to greeting the school. Can't you?

Yeah, tell me.

The first thing Crewe remembered was a while ago when he tried to run away from home. That I wanted to distract Sputnik, prepare a lot, think it's a perfect operation, but in the end, it ended up failing.

And. That there was no one there when I looked back at the carriage renter for help...

Crewe gripped the apron. The scare I remember then, I still remember. Fear of being alone. Fear that no one can help.

Just one.

Besides, that's not like being alone in your usual 'voicemail' at a jewelry store.

If Sputnik is the 'voicemail' that Krew always does when he's being summoned to the Jewellery Chamber of Finetica, he said Sputnik wasn't there - although of course that's very lonely - but I know the store is on its own, and sometimes nuts come to patrol. If you have any problems, you can talk to everyone in the city.

... but this school visit. In a city where there is no one to know as one, you have to do everything by yourself. No one can help me, even if I have any problems.

Such a scary time lasts for days in a land you do not know.

"Ku is..."

But, Krew thinks.

Still...

Sputnik sighed eventually at Krew, who stood on his feet without a scratch.

"You can't do that alone in Liafiat City."

"In the city...?

Sputnik said "that" briefly, still with a lazy look.

"For example. The store will give you the full budget you need. So go to some inn in Liafiat, stay the night, and come back to the store (our) the next day. Prepare your luggage, arrange an inn, behave overnight - from what to what, if I tell you to try it all on your own, can you do it?... well, sooner or later, if you can do it, and if you think you can do it in another city, then you can hang it up with Yuki about experiential school."

To put it that way, Sputnik grabbed the tool again, not waiting for Krew's answer. Drop your gaze on hand and resume work. As he stared at the trick, wondering what to answer, he opened his mouth again.

It seemed to speak to itself, but certainly, it was a word to convey to Krew.

"This is not the only time an experiential school is opened. I'm in no hurry."

I mean, what he's trying to say, Krew also figured it out. - "You can't do this right now, can you?
