I encountered memories and connections in the city center where I visited for the first time after returning home.
One day, what was once a longing in my memory will be overwritten anew.
Despite all that, Elric’s time passed helplessly.
“It’s Harvest Festival starting today.”
“I guess so. “I was really surprised because all the wheat fields were bald.”
At the morning meal, Elric smiled and answered Tyria’s words.
The wheat fields that colored the whole world golden became empty plains.
The harvest has been successfully completed and now all that remains is to enjoy it.
Of course, it was the same for the residents of the territory.
“I guess you’re going to get really busy from now on.”
It wasn’t Tyria.
She had to organize and classify the harvested crops into those that would be presented to the royal family, those that would be used for commerce, and those that would be distributed to the people of the territory.
After that, I had to do the cumbersome task of organizing all of the year’s profits.
If Rdio’s words are correct, from now on she will be suffering from a truly terrible burden.
Elric asked, feeling very sad about that fact.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Really? “I know how to sort documents.”
“It’s not really necessary.”
She was adamant.
It was at that moment that I thought about whether I should just suck my fingers like this.
“This year, please watch from the sidelines. “I will take charge and teach you.”
Ah, so that’s what I meant when I said I didn’t need any help.
Elric pouted.
“Umm… .”
“You will only learn the big classifications. “It’s so complex that it takes years of training to understand the details, so you won’t be able to learn it right away.”
Although it was a quiet voice, for some reason the words were not light.
The gently sagging eyes add to the sense of pressure.
“It worked out just fine. “Let’s start the paperwork today.”
“… “Don’t you enjoy the harvest festival?”
“Just stopping by to give a speech on the last day is enough.”
Did you touch the beehive?
“… “I’m not very smart.”
“I will endure it.”
Shouldn’t I have said something like this?
Elric expressed his belated regret.
Nothing changed.
It was time to pay for my sin of not knowing her patience.
Anyway, this guy’s snout was another problem.

“Please save me.”
“I didn’t kill him.”
“I feel like I’m going to die.”
“People don’t die that easily.”
‘You die easily. One blow of a sword is fair enough.’

Elric swallowed those words with difficulty.
The location is the office, and the time is the morning of the last day of the Harvest Festival.
Her education was terrible.
His persistent and meticulous personality meant that if he didn’t understand even one part of the lesson, he wouldn’t move on until he did, and his patient nature resulted in him continuing the lesson for hours once it had started.
Elric raised the thought, ‘Isn’t she more talented at torture than the torture experts known as the warlords of the West?’
It was that terrible, and that’s why I was so desperate for today.
“… Shouldn’t we prepare quickly? “Speech.”
“It’s still morning.”
“Lee, do you have any rehearsals or anything?”
“I did it in advance.”
“Which gap?”
“You just need to split your sleep.”
Indeed, Tyria seemed to be a workaholic.
But Elric could not give up.
More than anything, I just wanted to get away from this boring class.
“… Instead of doing that, how about getting some rest? “It’s the last day of the festival, so wouldn’t it be okay to have a little fun?”
Tyria’s movements stopped.
Elric was desperate. He hoped that the words “get some rest” would come out of her mouth, but for some reason, the heavens did not fail him.
“… I guess I was short-thinking. “This will be Gaju’s first festival in 10 years.”
It wasn’t for that reason, but Elric nodded frantically.
The more excuses you have, the better.
It actually worked well.
Tyria took a long breath and organized the documents.
“All right. Well, that’s all for today’s class. Let’s go out a little early… “It might be a good idea to take a look around the streets.”
“Good idea! I’m really looking forward to it! I’ll get ready quickly… No, I will prepare slowly and come!”
Elric stood up, shouted, and immediately reached for his cane.
I didn’t see him because I left the office in such a hurry.
Tyria pursed her lips and lowered her head.
Her face was quite red.
*
I was finally free from the boring classes.
I was going to be able to rest well for about a day today.
In the first place, my body ached a little because I was doing something that didn’t suit my temperament.
For Elric, who had done nothing other than cutting for the past 10 years, sitting still and looking at the ink marks was torture to the point of nausea.
“Master, you need to change quickly.”
“Let’s take our time.”
“That’s not leisure, it’s being late.”
“Are you supposed to complain about the owner’s words?”
“This is advice. And a person who can’t even pretend to be the owner properly isn’t scary at all.”
“You’re fired… .”
“You can’t. “Your wife handles personnel management.”
“… .”
Somehow, there was no one to take his side.
Of course, it’s funny to side with a guy who ran away for 10 years and came back, but isn’t it sad to be sad?
I thought Rdio would understand these feelings, but… .
“Master, you won’t be able to escape this time.”
He was resolute.
For some reason, I felt like I was back in my childhood, when I was scolded for not being smart.
Although I was aware that I was actually doing something immature, feeling it was another story.
Elric grumbled and changed his clothes.
It was ready-made clothes.
“You will go up to the podium. Even if you don’t give a speech, you still have to groom yourself right away. “I will call the maids.”
“Why do you need maids?”
“You should also put on makeup.”
“A man puts on makeup? “You’re crazy.”
“If I am crazy, then all the nobles, royal families, and even the royal family in the world are crazy.”
“Rdio, your tongue is long today.”
“You are even more immature today.”
Elric sank.
In the end, as Rdio said, after going through all the ridiculous things like powdering my skin, I took the uncomfortable steps and headed to the office.
It’s not because I want to do more work, but because the window there is perfect for looking out onto the outside of the mansion.
Squeak-
The door opens and a room with sunlight pouring in appears before your eyes.
How can an office without work look so beautiful?
The moment that thought came to mind, Elric burst into laughter.
‘… Now, even when I look at this place, I don’t think of my father first.’
It was a fact I realized late.
Perhaps it’s because of her vicious upbringing, or perhaps it’s because it was so far in the past that things have become blurry, but when she enters the office, the first thing that catches her eye is not her father’s face, but the documents she left behind.
The moment I open the office door, the first thing that comes to mind is the scene of her sitting at her desk.
This too was a memory that was overwritten.
Just as the changed downtown area was overlaid on top of the faded downtown area of the past, the scene that comes to mind when you think of the office has changed.
Bitterness and joy came to mind at the same time.
Elric looked at the bare wheat fields after the harvest and sat down at the desk in his office.
Tuk-
My hand touched the unorganized documents.
“hmm?”
Elric turned his head and checked the documents.
“This… .”
This was a task I learned today.
Didn’t you clean it up? Elric lifted the document without thinking and only then did he check the memo underneath the document.
Elric’s eyes widened.
『Deadline, 21st.』
The deadline indicated was today.
It’s clear that I said I had time to spare, but how could I possibly finish this document, which is not even half processed, within today?
There are dozens of pictures of what you can see, and it would take half a day to solve them all.
The moment Elric remembered that, he realized.
‘… If you teach me, it will take half a day.’
If she handled things alone, it wouldn’t be at this speed.
Elric knew that he was slow at learning business-like things.
Tyria was teaching Elric to work at his own pace.
It was probably his fault that the deadline was so tight in the first place.
The reason why I was allowed to go out early today even though I was so behind on work.
Only then did that also begin to be engraved in Elric’s mind.
‘You were considerate of me?’
Maybe he slowed down even more out of consideration for his exhaustion.
Even though he was so busy with work, he probably worried about his own fatigue first.
It was a self-conscious guess, but the reason she couldn’t let it go hastily was because of the attitude she had shown so far.
Looking back, she was considerate of Elric at every moment.
“… .”
What would have happened if it had gone like this?
Due to her personality of not saying anything regretful, she probably slept alone, took care of business, and then closed her mouth.
Then you probably never knew she suffered even more.
Suddenly a feeling of shame arose.
This was just like a kid who knew how to whine.
Elric frowned.
And then I picked up a pen.
It is truly treacherous to just receive something without feeling gratitude to someone who has cared for you.
Elric didn’t want to be that kind of person.
So I looked through the documents for a while, remembered what I had learned, and began to fill in the letters little by little.
It was about an hour later that Tyria came in.
“house owner?”
She had a surprised face.
Elric smiled shyly and said.
“I think the deadline was today. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“that… .”
“I’m sorry. “I did not understand your position well.”
A look of surprise was evident on Tyria’s face.
Elric said, lowering his head because he was truly embarrassed by that.
“I couldn’t do much. “Can you help me?”
Her answer came a step late.
“… “Yes, let’s try that.”
His voice was a little quieter than usual.
I feel… It didn’t look too bad.
It was fortunate.
