As I clung to Ralph’s back and drove my legs, I saw the gate on the outer wall.

Outer wall is a wall to protect the city, it is quite expensive when viewed from close. It is about 2 to 3 floors high in a Japanese building and thick. There seem to be several soldiers who have gates on the outer wall, east, west, north and south, and check the people who enter the city.

The gate in front is the South Gate, and several soldiers can be seen. One of them must be my father.

I don’t know what my father is, but Turi seems to know. I embraced the package and ran out waving my hand.

“Father!”

“Turi, what happened?”

“Come to deliver lost things. Are you here?”

Turi handed the package he had with a smile to his father who was surprised.

Gentle. Too kind, Turi. I didn’t give such a kind word to my father when I was Reno. Even now, “If you forget it, your mother ’s mood suddenly drops and this is annoying?“ I forgot my morning condition? ”

“Ah, I was saved …. Huh? Did you release Mine !?”

After receiving the relieved parcel relievedly, my father shook my eyebrows. Apparently, she seemed to be able to see only the figure of her daughter, Tully, and it seems that she has not noticed Ralph and her second loved daughter.

Turi shook his head and pointed at Ralf.

“Yeah, I’m here with you. Hey, Ralph was on my back.”

“Ah, is that so?”

The father put his hand on Ralf’s head, wandering slightly, wondering if he could n’t see it.

“It was bad for me to carry you, Ralph”

“I’m going to go to the forest”

Ralf took me down from his back, as his father was scratching his head and making an annoying face. Then, pick up the baggage that Faye and Lutz had.

“Thank you, Ralph. Thanks also to Lutz and Faye”

Refusing to see Ralph and the others leaving the gate to go to the forest, I and Turi were allowed to enter the waiting room at the gate.

Outer wall is thick enough to make a room of about 6 tatami mats in the wall and is not so large, but there seems to be a waiting room and a guest room. The waiting room is simply a room with a few tables and chairs and a cupboard.

My father’s colleague is pouring water when I feel like I’ve been to sightseeing abroad.

“It’s good daughters to deliver forgotten things”

From the house to the gate, it takes about 20 minutes to walk with Turi’s feet.

squeeze the water in a wooden cup, and exhale greatly.

“Huh. Delicious. I’ll revive.”

“Mine is hardly walking on his own?”

Listening to Turi’s words with sharp lips, everyone laughed all at once.

I tried to swell, but I couldn’t refute it because I saw my figure carrying Ralf.

When I was laughing at everyone and drinking another, a soldier entered the room alone. Take a wooden box like a tool box from the shelf and leave the room immediately.

slashed the eyebrows unintentionally.

“Dad, wasn’t there something?”

“A cautionary guy would have just come to the gate. Don’t worry so much.”

dad waving his hands and saying that he does n’t mind, but if he sees a busy state, he ’s a little worried. Is it really okay?

Is this the gate and the gatekeeper flutters? Isn’t it like a troublesome flag?

Contrary to my feelings, Turi tilted his head with an expression that he did not feel at all.

“What kind of people need attention? Have you seen me?”

It seems that the people who seem to hurt the gatekeeper at the usual gates do not immediately think of Turi.

The father searches for words while stroking his stubble with his palm.

“Oh, like a bad guy who seems to commit a crime somewhere, or on the contrary, a nobleman who should give the lord the first notice.”

“Hey …”

It seems that the bad guys are judged only by the human phase. However, even if I think from the living environment, I do not think that information transmission is developing, so it may be unavoidable to stop and examine criminals.

“They decide whether they can wait in another room and enter the city”

Ah. So are there some waiting rooms at the gate? Convinced.

Surely, the waiting room for the aristocrat and the waiting room for the villain will vary in size from furniture to furniture. Every world is hard to know.

While I was thinking about it, the young soldier came back with a wooden box and a rolled up object like a tube. There is no emergency tension in the expression. As my father said, it was not a big deal.

Then, I stood in front of my father with my left hand on my left hand and hit my left chest twice with my right hand fist. This is probably the salute of this world, given that my father stood up, corrected his attitude and returned the same gesture.

“Otto, ask for a report”

I crawled into the strict face of my father who I had never seen at home. I know only the sluggish figure, so it’s very fresh. If you have a clean face, you’re pretty cool.

“Country Rowinwald wants to open the walls”

“What is the seal?”

“Confirmed”

“Yes, let go”

Otto saluted again and sat in a chair in front of me. I placed a wooden box on the desk and opened up another thing that I had in my hand.

¡Smooth and thicker than paper, with a slight smell, my eyes become nailed.

Parchment! ?

I don’t know if it’s really parchment, but it is made of animal skin. I can’t read it, but the characters of this world are written there.

In front of me staring with my eyes wide open, Otto brought a plant pen, such as an ink bottle and a pen, from the toolbox and started writing something on the parchment.

Fuooooo! It’s a letter! There are people who can write letters here!

The first civilian in the world. I want you to tell me the characters of this world!

When I looked at Otto’s hand as if I was eating, my father put a hand on my head, “What’s wrong?”

Looking up at my father, I pointed to what seems to be parchment. You can’t ask again next time without checking your name.

“Dad, dad. What is this?”

“Oh, parchment. Paper made from goat and sheep skin”

“What’s this black?”

“Ink and pen”

As expected.

Since I found paper and ink, I can now make a book safely.

As I put up with the joy of jumping and joyful, I slammed my hands in front of my chest and looked up at my father. A beggar with a whole body spirit.

“Hey, dad. This is a little …”

“No, not a children’s toy”

My disappointment that tried to push the cuteness of this age all over was quickly dismissed.

Of course, just because you were rejected, you can’t give up so easily. It’s awkward to have a sweet look at the adhesiveness to my book that bites like a turtle and doesn’t peel like a hot candy.

“I want to write something like this. I want it. Please”

“No, no! Mostly Mine doesn’t know the character?”

Certainly, you don’t need paper or ink if you don’t know the character. That is why my father’s words are the greatest opportunity for me.

“Tell me because I can remember. If you remember, do you need this?”

A young boss soldier can write, so even a boss-like father should be able to write.

I didn’t think there was a person who could write a letter in a paper that wasn’t even a piece of paper, but this was a really miscalculation. If my father teaches me, reading a book in this world may not be a dream.

Someone screamed “Fuh” near me who had a big smile in the mood to be one step closer to the ambition. When I looked for the source and looked around, I laughed as if I couldn’t stand the Otto who seemed to hear the parent-child interaction about parchment and ink.

“Hahaha,” Tell me “… Kuku, the team leader wasn’t good at writing letters, isn’t it?”

At that moment, there was a cracked sound in Pakin and my ambition. You can see that the smile froze as if you were bathed in cold water.

“Eh? Dad, can’t you write?”

“I can read and write a little. I have paperwork, so I need to read the letters, but I don’t need any more letters about the work. I just ask and write the names of the people who come from there.”

“Hmm …”

Staring with cold eyes, father making excuses with a stuffy face.

In other words, in terms of my father’s literacy level in Japan, can I read the AIUEO chart and write the names of my class friends? Isn’t that about?

Since it is said that young Otto is “I don’t like it”, my friend’s name is sometimes wrong.

I can’t use it.

“I don’t look at my dad with such eyes”

«Otto, the culprit who dropped my father’s stock in my heart, gave up my attitude with an expression that worried me. Then explain the soldier’s work to defend his father.

“Soldiers are working to maintain the security of the city, but when there is a large incident involving a nobleman in the city, the knight class comes in and a small incident Because verbal reporting is over, I rarely touch letters.It is enough if people’s names are written. ”

My father was very nervous about whether he regained his support for Otto. Apparently my cold gaze was hurt unexpectedly.

“If you were a farmer, you could read only the village chief, so my father was great enough.”

“Well, great dad. I want this.

If you’re awesome, I’d like a cute girl to give me about 100 sheets of paper bavern.

When I stared while staring at my father’s eyes, my father stepped back one step as if he was jealous.

“… Isn’t it possible for a child to do a monthly salary?”

What! ? Monthly salary! ? Cho, parchment, how expensive! ?

Well, even if you’re not a child, it’s not something you can raise.

The reason for not having paper in the house is the same as the reason for not seeing a bookstore in the city. It’s not a price that ordinary people can buy.

It’s useless to say that we want paper to make a book, with a salary just enough for the family to live. I can’t buy it.

I dropped my shoulder and patted my head so that Otto comforted my head.

“In the first place, it’s not sold to the store where the commoners come and go. Paper is used by nobles and big merchants and officials who need to connect with the nobility, not by children. If you want to study Japanese, would you like to use a slab? ”

“Is it good! I’m happy!”

Immediately ask and promise to get a stone board. I’m so tired, so I want to study letters so I’ll appoint Otto as my teacher.

“Thank you, Otto. Please tell me the letter. I’m counting on you.”

Next to me asking for a smile, my father compared me with Otto and had a very sad face, but I didn’t see it.

I can practice letters, get a stone board, and raise my heart, but what I want is a book and what I need is paper.

Even a stone plate cannot be preserved. A stone board is like a blackboard that you can write and erase over and over again. That’s fine for practicing to learn letters, but a stone board isn’t a book.

There is an extraordinary amount that ordinary people will not sell paper.

How can I make a book without paper?

What should I do if I don’t get the paper? What should I do?

You should make it yourself.

It seems that you have to start from making paper before you make a book. But it will not be so easy to make paper. I don’t think it’s possible to extend children’s play.

Uu, the way to the book is far away!
