I am helping Mr. Lang with a few things he has been doing while he has been away.
Some of the tasks include writing picture books about me, keeping records of this village, and keeping records of the harvest of this village.
Mr. Lan keeps a record of all these things. He said that it is better for the future to have such records.
We are in the process of trying to gradually divide up the roles since last year. Only Mr. Nilsi and his team have been able to go to the country beyond the forest yet, and we are really trying to shape things up little by little.
Since Mr. Lan does not have the strength to fight, he will continue to do such work even after the roles have been precisely allocated. I don't mind writing, but not as much as he does. I think he will continue to do that kind of work for a long time. He likes that kind of work.
I wonder what I will be doing in the future.
If this place were to grow from a village to a larger place, ...... I don't know about a town, but I hear that there is a lot of work in a big place, so I wonder what I would be like.
'Mr. Dong, is this okay?'
Yes."
I call out to him and he replies, "Yes.
As I write more and more letters, I get better and better at writing. I am happy to be able to write well little by little in this way.
Lan and her friends teach me words that I don't know, including how to write them. Lan-san also likes to teach someone, so I often ask him to teach me things at home. Sometimes I just nod my head as he talks about all kinds of information at once, but it's fun to do that.
Sometimes when she is writing in a hurry, her handwriting is almost unreadable, but her handwriting is very beautiful, even when she is officially recording her work. It is amazing to see such beautiful handwriting, and it makes my heart sing.
We all share the work that Mr. Lan, Nilsi, and the others are doing instead.
After I have done the work of putting the information together, I am allowed to read the record of this village that Mr. Lan is compiling with his permission.
We are supposed to do this with such permission so that we don't damage the important official documents of this village.
Some of the things that Mr. Lan is recording are the lives of the wolf beastmen in the village. And also a list of the people living in this village. He said it is important to record who lives where. With the help of Phyto and Biller, he also wrote a record of where the people and Biller's people live.
There are many records from the establishment of this village to the present, and I think it must be Mr. Lan's nature that they are written down to the smallest detail.
By the way, in the room where the official materials are kept, there was also a picture book written about me.
......Mr. Lan is happily working on my picture book. He is also working on the composition of his third and fourth picture books.
I guess Mr. Lan and his friends will be in my picture books soon. I am embarrassed, but I think it might be fun to have them all in the book.
I flip through the pages. There were so many materials lined up, and I felt proud to think that this was the result of what Mr. Lan had done.
After looking at the various materials, I then went outside.
I heard Seafo singing from the plaza, and when I turned toward him, he was singing. The spirits were moving happily around me.
I turned to look and saw Seafo singing.
'Hihihihihihiun (Yes, yes, I am.)' Yes, it's fun.
In the plaza, everyone was free to do as they pleased.
Sometimes the elves are playing with the spirits, sometimes the child griffons are playing, sometimes the villagers are conversing - there is always someone here in the center of the village, and when I am here, I feel happy and not lonely.
When I miss the people who go to the ruins and are not in this town, I always enjoy coming here and visit often.
Sifo often hums a song.
I join in and sing along.
Spirits are happily flying around us. Frenet joins them in the middle of the dance and dances with them.
While I was doing this, an elf man who loves music among the village - Mr. Michaelt - came over to me.
He said, "Lerunda, I have a new song in mind.
Apparently, he had thought of some new song. Ceefo and I looked at Mr. Michaeld with excitement, wondering what kind of song it would be.
It's a song about our village and the spirits," he said.
He sang a song about the village and the spirits. Her voice was beautiful and pleasant to listen to. He also gave me a piece of paper with the lyrics written on it.
He and Sifo sang the song together while Maikert taught us the lyrics.
If I can sing this song before Mr. Lang comes back, I will be able to report to him that I can do it.
I hummed the new song that Mykelt had taught me after I got home, trying to do various things so that I would have many reports to make.
