When the lunch was over and the guests calmed down a little, Mormat came to the Yodamari-tei, wiping his sweat.
Today is a little sweaty, considering that we were trapped in heavy snow until recently. It's January... isn't this city trying to get rid of living things?
"As you say, sprinkling lime on the fields will improve the growth of food." Look at the asparagus, it's become so big."
"What is lime?"
Jeanette, who brought water to Mormat, peeks at me and says: That's all right, water for Coates. I'm not going to eat at all, just a little drop in.
"I don't know what to say."You know what calcium and magnesium are you?
"I don't know,"
I was answered immediately with a lovely smile. I see... You don't know from that point on? Then, slaked lime or bitterness lime will only confuse you.
"I don't like it. After the heavy rain, I feel like the crops have grown worse than usual. I was like, 'What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?'"
Mormat explains to Jeanette in a way that is like a TV personality who often tells ghost stories in summer.
He talks like this in a different world, doesn't he?
"Well, I tried to change the amount of fertilizer, but it didn't work..."
"And to Jiro?"
"Oh, as a professional farmer, I thought it would be a good idea to ask an amateur to teach... well, Jiro is special." If you have any good ideas, I've been told, and I've changed my mind to thinking that growing good vegetables is a professionalism."
"Well, we'll all be happy if we get a lot of good vegetables."
Professional talk doesn't sound at all, Mormat.
For Jeanette, will and pride are just trivial matters. This guy can learn from any opponent, from any little thing. In that sense, he is a genius.
Well, there's a chance I'll be taken advantage of.
"And when I consulted Jiro, he told me to mix a little lime in the soil."
"I've never seen it, lime,"
"Well, to put it simply, it's white powder. You can't put it in your mouth."
"Because they tell me to mix it with the precious soil, and I'm just like, 'Oh, Jillo's been talking so much about breast milk these days.'"
Hey, come on!
Who only talks about breast milk!
"That's a rude fellow, you crocodile,"
"Yes, Mr. Mormat," Mr. Yashiro's love of breast milk is from the beginning."
"No, that's not the case!"
a giggling Jeanette
This is what he's been telling jokes like this. Aren't you too influenced by estella and magda?
"You've changed your mind, Jeanette,"
"Is that so?"
"Oh, it's prettier than before."
"That's what I'said he.
"I've started wearing bras." The lines must be clear."
"You're talking about breast milk!"
`You're talking about the breast!'
It was completely unisoned until "Talk about the breast." I'm perfectly fit for breathless.
It's probably a comedy school, isn't it?
"And when you mix lime, vegetables grow?"
"Yes, sir. It was nutritious, wasn't it?"
"Well,"
Didn't he listen to my explanation at all?
If you mix too much vegetables in the soil because you think they are nutritious, you'll spoil them.
"Because of rain and other factors, hydrogen ions accumulate and the soil turns acidic. Since many crops prefer neutral or mildly acidic soil, they need to remove the accumulated hydrogen ions to restore good soil to their crops. that lime would be used as a means of doing so, as I have explained before."
"Well, it's hard to say, "Well, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's say, let's see..."
"If you sprinkle too much lime, will vegetables stop growing?"
"I think asparagus and spinach like alkaline soil,"
Well, there's a limit to that, too.
"Are you keeping the amount? I think the asparagus is growing too much?"
"Well... oh, no... I'm protecting you... You know?"
I'm pointing at Mormat with my arm outstretched.
"'Spirit's,'
"I'm sorry! I mixed it a little too much!"
Come on...
"That's why the layman is like this."
"You've reversed your position, Mr. Mormat,"
`...I'm ashamed of myself,'
a giggling ginet
I feel that this calm time is the charm of the Yangtari-tei.
"Oh, my!"
"No!"
"Ah!"
The voice of a young boy echoes loudly. These are the kids I often see these days in a group of mommy friends.
He opens the door of Yangdaljeong and enters the dining room with a serious look like a brave party to challenge the boss's room in the deepest part of the dungeon.
Legendary weapons, or rare equipment... in that atmosphere, the kids hold the flag bearing the lord's emblem. No, it's equipped.
"You know, this flag, when you're equipped, is very powerful, by lot, and it's easy to get out!"
`I see!'
The kids proudly tell me.
Hahaha, I see, I see.
Yeah, it's fake.
What are you really going to take? I don't think so. That's why you're so stupid.
"Well, I'll trample on your dreams!""No, Mr. Yashiro! That magic and jinx are so important when you're a kid! You risk your life!"
Well, that's for sure. "If I fall off the white line, I'll die," or something like that, was he really serious?
Come to think of it...
I look at the promise ring around my left arm.
Promising, which had expired on my day of high school entrance, was somehow revived when I came back to this world and is still firmly tied to my left arm.
It's called the 500‐yen coin hidden at the collar, and it's a reproduction of my equipment when I entered high school.
And this promiscuous ring is, in other words, just a silly charm.
But somehow I still don't care about taking it off.
In other words, that's why the kids are holding the feudal lord's flag in a big way.
Oh, my God! I can't help it.
"Genet".
I'll call Jeanette and whisper in my ears.
"Make them think, 'The magic was true.'"
"Do you mean, 'Keep everything in the lot at your fingertips?'"
"Don't speak plainly. I think it's cheating."
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Kindness and injustice must be different."
Hmm. I'm not.
Whatever noble ideas you may have, injustice is injustice.
Well, it's not such a big loss that the kids get into the hands of the toys.
However, if these children tell us that the magic was true, the children who believed in the magic would ask their parents to come and eat their children's lunch again.
This is what I call a bait.
In the end, a store that sometimes makes a big hit and gives customers the impression that "this place is going to win" is more profitable than a store that is reluctant to win the first prize because of stinginess.
That's exactly what they intend to do when they post a picture of a big hit on a UFO catcher or something like that.
A few minutes behind the kids, a group of mommy friends come to the store. As soon as I did, I dropped my fist at my child who entered the store without permission.
This mother is powerful, as always.
"Well, I'll be back soon," Oh, yes. Use this asparagus if you like."
"Oh, I'll stick around the womb."
"Don't play with your food! Eat properly! Boil it!"
"No, let them eat whatever they like."
Momat, who has just come to report the fields, dashes out of the dining room.
... he's telling me to eat something once in a while.
`Oh, my God! Oh my gosh!'
Almost as soon as Mormat leaves, the strange sound of the kid echoes.
I saw a gakincho standing up with the lord's flag and thrusting his fist.
The other two surround the kid with envious faces.
"Hey! Hey!"
"I've heard the charm!"
`I've heard it,'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
...that's the kind of course.
"Then the next person~" I wonder if I'll get it right next time.
Jeanette speaks to the next kid in an educational tone.
I don't know where to stay, perhaps because I'm sure I'll win.
I usually look nervous like, "What if I miss it..." and I never say, "Will it hit me?" so that the wound won't get bigger if I miss it.
If I were a kid, I would be sure at this moment. They said, "Oh, today's a perfect.
I go to my mom's group of friends and secretly reveal the seeds so that the happy kids won't realize it.
To tell you in advance, there will be no strange trick.
"Today is a great New Year's special service."
"Oh, really?"
"I'm sorry, are you sure?"
"Look, my little boy," with a fool's delight Thank you very much."
"No, no. See you again."
Emphasizing that it's a service would prevent some idiot parent from charging at you later, saying, "Let our kids get hit! It's unfair!"
It's your fault that you weren't here right now.
All of my mommy friends had a good time together, so they'll take the side of Yodamari-tei. Cramer won't come where there are many defenders.
Two others are winning, and the last little girl left looks like she's going to cry.
"Then shall I spell with you?"
"Is it a charm?"
"I will ask the lord of the manor," Let me get a hit...."
"Yes, sir... ...let me have a look around me..."
"Well, will he get it right?"
「…………」
a precarious little girl pulling a lever
Then, of course, the lord's flag rolls down.
`Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'
utter an incomprehensible voice
Is it a monster...
But before you know it, the feudal lord's flag has become popular. He only looked displeased at first.
"Well, gentlemen," Let's thank the lord. and you might gain more power?"
"'Really!'"
Jeanette says the right thing. I can't stand it, power! What is power in the first place?But Genet may really believe it. You can bring good luck with gratitude.
The kids, who were all successful and excited, were in a state of commotion without listening to their mother's warning. ...if I had done this in Japan, I might have lost my temper.
But... at the Yodamari-tei... if there were no other guests, would that be all right?
This circle will widen, and one day we won't declare independence."
"Ryo-shousama,"
``Bang-zay!'
"Ryo-shousama,"
``Bang-zay!'
"Whoa!? What is this?"
Estella came to Yodamari-tei at the perfect timing.
roll one's eyes for the sake of the children
"Yasilo... What happened?"
"Oh, the truth is..."
When I explain what has happened so far, he nods, "I see."
"It's true that when someone gets a hit, they think, 'I'm too?'"
"And when I think that I'm the only one who doesn't get it right, I get stubborn."
"That's... a money-spending pattern."
Estella laughs bitterly.
But when he saw the floating and bustling children, he smiled again with a loose smile.
"Ryo-shousama,"
``Bang-zay!'
"Ryo-shousama,"
``Bang-zay!'
"...it's kind of a nice feeling,"
"Then he may have the makings of a dictator,"
"Who would be happy if they had the support of the people of the domain?"
"It's a kid,"
"The support of innocent children is the happiest, isn't it? He's just going to me.
Estella today would affirm anything.
be in high spirits
It's a big difference from the time when the lord's flag was so unpopular that he lied.
"Good night!"
``Oh, my gosh!''
Even so, their volume is always MAX. My ears are getting sore.
"""If you don't eat quietly, your toys will be confiscated."""
「「「…………」」」
With the mother's words, the volume of the kids became MIN. No, it's zero.
That's extreme...
"It's meat sauce pasta."
Yeah. The pasta is coming out well, too.
"Take your time,"
Jeanette bowed to her mommy's group of friends.
turn one's head and smile
"Welcome, Estella,"
"Hey, I think I'll have some pasta, too."
"How about pasta?"
"Put on the meat sauce!"
Yes... the school with sauce~?
Well, I've never seen anyone who doesn't need it.
"And how's the street gate going?"
"It's going well. I'm done with the groundwork and I'm working on the foundation."
There is a danger that the gate will collapse if the site where the gate will be constructed is a vein of groundwater.
However, since the exterior walls were originally constructed, the investigation should have been done in advance, so this time it seems that it is a review just in case.
"It's no joke to say, 'The street gate is broken.' Especially outside the Forty-two Wards is a savage beast."
Breaking the outer walls and building a street gate means that we must keep the beast out of our hands.
"You and these vigilantes are reliable?"
"They are all the best men I know about. If they participate in a martial arts competition, they should be able to get through the preliminary rounds."
"... all right,"
"...well, it's a peaceful city, the Forty-two wards,"
Certainly, I've never seen a heavily armed soldier.
"I'm going to train you little by little by little."
"Take lessons from Magda and Delia,"
"They'll... quit on the first day."
Well, I'm going to run away too.
They easily exceed the specifications that humans can compete with.
If I stuck to Delia's back and blew myself up, Delia would still be stunned.
I'm dead in a dog...
"Well, I think it'll be done in two months."
It's January... Is there a street gate at the end of February or at the beginning of March?
I can't wait.
Once the street gate is built, the road in front of the Yangdamari-tei will finally be cleared up. It will be a splendid road.
That way you can turn over the biggest handicap, the bad location. Rather, it would be the best place.
"The works are going well, smooth sailing. Good luck early in the new year. This year is going to be a good year."
"You're not talking nonsense," You don't have milk to drop.""It doesn't matter!"
No, you.
If it drips, it drips, and you can enjoy it in your own way...
"Thank you for waiting."
Jeanette, who is most likely to be pulled by gravity, arrives with Estella pasta that is completely unaffected by gravity.
I wonder if the gravity upon them is the same...
"It's a very favorable situation for me now. I'm in a cheerful mood now that I'm free from the tedious paperwork. From here on, the main purpose is to monitor and inspect the construction site."
He must have done a lot of complicated and cumbersome work in building the street gates, such as licensing, applying, and laying the groundwork. Released from them, Estella smiled brightly.
As Estella said, this year could be a good year.
I think it's a good start.
I can't regret the fact that I've given my kids a big service.
I feel like I've become more generous.
``I'm sorry!'
I hear the loud voices of the kids, and Jeanette makes her way to the table.
Take down the finished dishes and bring a basket of toys.
At first they served it with the food, but when it was pointed out that the kids were so distracted by the toys that they didn't eat, they changed the toys to later delivery.
"Be nice if you want toys and eat them all!"
I think this mother is good at raising her children.
"Then you can choose one of them."
a wax mold of clay in a bag Sticky touching is forbidden.
Choose from your intuition and accept it.
The kids follow the rules unexpectedly.
Are you enjoying the rule, including it, or is it because of your parents' discipline?
Pick a toy, open the bag and rejoice.
That's true, isn't it? A new model was added from today.
I was meeting with Becko to make a prototype in the snow.
"O Mother! Can I go play with my toys?"
"Yes!"
"That's all right!"
Once you've finished eating and you've got your toys, there's no reason for the kids to stay in the cafeteria.
Their playground is a little square near here.
"Yes, yes. Go away."
"I'll be home by supper!"
"Don't fight, get along!"
``Yes!'
Parents don't have to keep an eye on everything rather than play in the neighborhood.
Like the old countryside, if something happens, someone in the neighborhood will help you.
That's the way the 42 wards are.
`See you again, brother!'
"See you again!"
"Again!"
"Yes! Please come back again!"
The kids wave to Jeanette and Jeanette turns around to respond.
This time, all the kids look at me all at once.
"See you, baby!"
`See you again!'
`Oh, see you!'
Hmm?
......what? What's this?
It's kind of... now...
"What's the matter, Jillo?"
"What? Oh, no..."
Now, somehow... something that gets stuck... Oh! No way!
"Oh, Estella!"
"What?"
`Wouldn't it be better to say "Oh, again" to the children, for it sounds like "the crotch"?'
"You're the only one who thinks that way!"
"No, but! You call him 'O-kami'!"
"Don't say "Omata" or "Omata"!"
Estella gave me a chop.
My brain aches... I was seriously thinking about educating young people...
Well, it's not worth thinking about.
It's just a greeting.
The weather is nice outside.
The wind blowing in is pleasant.
The weather is perfect for the kids to play with.
There's no way a problem could arise on such a clean day.
......it was supposed to be...
The problem is that it's coming all of a sudden, isn't it?
