The Noble Girl Living in Debt

The day of the Snow Festival.

Ride in an old horse-drawn carriage that can be called antiques and travel to the village of Gentian, which takes three hours each way.

Bernard drives the carriage.

Jizil said he was going to be the man, but he tended to skip too much, so he was afraid and replaced.

Wagons run on the road surrounded by trees while shaking the car body.

Bernard is safe driving, and the carriage runs on the forest road. Why is he driving the carriage on which the servant rides?

On the other hand, the inside of the carriage was fun.

"Anies, this is a popular treat in the city!"

"Is the packaging so cute?"

“Hey! Agnes is in trouble? Do n’t talk to them at the same time!”

The inside of the car is full of products sold at the store. It was like a person sitting in the gap. In addition, because it is an old carriage, extra vibration is heard. Nevertheless, Agnes was enjoying her first outing.

After a break every hour, we arrived at the festival venue, Gendou Village. The village is a place surrounded by the rich bounty of nature and is visited by tourists in summer as a summer resort. The Snow Festival began with the intention of attracting customers during off-peak periods.

Before getting off the carriage, put on the animal headgear.

Carroll and Celia envied the charming cats and birds made by Agnes.

If you go outside, you can see the whole snow scene. However, it is not something that has accumulated deeply. Gentian village is relatively deep in the forest, but snow does not accumulate there.

The village is already crowded with people.

Bernard holds three boxes with cookies, and women carry baskets with medicine in cooperation.

Jizil went to the reception at the entrance to the village to submit documents.

The remaining people wait on the spot.

"exciting"

"I'm excited"

Carroll and Celia were frolicking. It's my first snow festival, so I'm extra fidgety. Bernard beware of such twins.

"Don't get lost."

"I know"

"I'll be careful"

On the other hand, Agnies who suffered the cat's head was very quiet. Although he cannot see his face with his head, he seems to be overwhelmed by the crowd from his appearance.

Somehow, I felt dangerous when I looked away, and when I was looking down with my luggage down on the ground, a man holding a box with three steps was walking from behind her.

You don't notice each other. Bernard pulled his arm and prevented the collision.

Agnes was behaving in a way that did not know what had happened.

"It didn't seem to notice that someone with luggage was coming from behind."

"Oh, sorry. Thank you."

"No, it's unavoidable because there's a headgear."

In addition to the headgear with a narrow view, Agnes has bad eyes. I thought it was a very dangerous place.

If you are careful, Jizil will return.

By her guidance, she decided to move to the store location.

The store is located at a line of shops selling miscellaneous goods.

The organizer prepares the tent and the platform on which the products are placed. Exhibitors only had to order their products when they came to the venue.

Jizil lays a cloth on a table, and arranges cookies and medicines on it.

Fire is strictly prohibited at the venue. Except for a part of food, ready-made items were sold.

Agnes, who works on display, is surprisingly skillful.

"Anies, you're good."

"Thank you. In fact, I've been to the orphanage's charity bazaar a few times for display and store keeping."

"Was it so"

"Yes"

She says he has been busy socializing for the past few years and couldn't go.

"So I'm as excited as Carol and Celia."

"I wish I was there."

When you are ready, finally put a good sign made by Dominic at the storefront.

“Kitten and Kokumatei,” a homemade medicine and herbal cookie shop.

"What's the name of this shop?"

"Are you not cute?"

I don't know how cute Jizil is. Bernard tilted his head.

Carroll and Celia put a signboard of "Kitten to Kokumatei" at the storefront.

The Dominique handmade wooden sign with the shop name, bears and cats carved well. The passers-by also say they are cute.

Bernard didn't say anything more because it played a great role in attracting customers.

"Well, do you do your best?"

In the cold, Jizil is excited.

The game of the festival is in the morning.

It's important to get Bernard and Agnies involved, but it was also important to sell products and make a profit.

"In the morning, I and my daughters will keep a store, so my husband and Agnies have enjoyed the festival first."

"Is it OK?"

"Yes, we enjoy it from noon."

Jizil tells Bernard the same thing and asks him to go out.

The two with a bear and a cat are to be kicked out soon.

Before leaving the open area, Bernard looks back and looks at Agnes, who was following from behind.

"Don't come off."

"Yes"

They went into the crowd of the festival unintentionally.

A variety of goods were sold on the general store street where kittens and kittens opened. Soap, candles, cloth accessories, stationery, etc.

Because it is crowded, you can't afford to watch slowly.

Bernard looked back to tell him that he would move elsewhere, and there was no Agnes.

Look around in a hurry. Agnes walked a lot behind, staggering.

Bernard returns on the way he came from, splitting people, grabbing Agnes's arm and moving to a place with few people.

"Thank you. I missed my husband while I wasn't sure how to proceed."

"No, good"

The same thing happens even if you resume the walk of the festival. Bernard made a proposal.

"You walk while grabbing my jacket, or you'll be swallowed by the crowd."

"Are you sure?"

"dont 'worry"

Thus, Agnes held a basket in one hand, and one hand grabbed Bernard's jacket and proceeded.

◇◇◇

Agnies and Bernard came to the street where shops selling sweets lined up.

Scones, cookies, chocolate, candy, etc.

A sweet scent drifts around.

"Do you like sweets?"

I am upset by Agnes' question for a moment.

Sweet is a favorite, but it's embarrassing to say it.

So return the word, "There is nothing you can't eat."

She smiled and said that she was happy, and Agnes picked up a confection that entangled almonds with lightly colored sugar.

She just got paid and buys it with her own money.

I also bought cakes and chocolates.

On the way home, buy lunch for everyone and go home.

The bread I bought was hot chocolate in a bottle (chocolat show) and ham and leafy vegetables.

Jizil and the twins were overjoyed because they kept the store in the cold.

Eat lunch on a shift, and in the afternoon, take a stall at Bernard and Agnes.

Although it wasn't, most of the products were sold.

"Is it almost sold out?"

"I'm a little too hard"

"I don't think my job is a servant."

"Yes, I'm surprised at the talent."

I didn't seem to have much work from afternoon.

Bernard and Agnies take off the servant's mother and daughter, sit down on a chair, and keep a shopkeeper.

"... It's cold"

"It is cold"

While conversing like a married couple, they were recommending products to passers-by.

In less than 30 minutes, the goods will be sold out.

"I wish I had made more-I don't want Allen to die."

"It looks like it was hard."

Even after it was sold out, some customers asked me where it was usually sold.

You will be surprised at the reputation. To avoid being suspicious, she said that she was a hobby shop for individuals, and that she had no plans to open a store.

By the time the traffic was sparse, Bernard was hungry.

"I'm hungry."

"Let's buy something?"

"I'm gonna get lost"

Bernard says it's not enough to go buy. He also ordered him to buy snacks from Jizil. Say be patient for a while.

"If so, this."

Agnes presented the almond sugar that he had just purchased.

"Is it something I bought for myself?"

"No, I want to give it to my husband."

Agnes says he wanted to go home, tie the ribbon and hand it off because he was just in a paper bag.

"Why me?"

"Thank you ..."

Bernard took it for no reason.

Sit with your back to the main street and remove the bear's head. He told Agnies to take off her head and take a break.

As soon as possible, throw the sweets into your mouth.

"Do you eat too?"

"House"

"Really"

The sweetness of the crisp sugar coating and the flavor of the roasted almonds go well with mystery.

I remember eating it a long time ago, but there are not many times.

I thought it was something special, but I couldn't remember.

"Well, what a confection?"

"Drazier."

"Don't listen for the first time"

"Traditional sweets that are served on celebration days."

"Oh, why don't you remember eating too much?"

I remember being told. He said that he had a tea ceremony on the day before his first brother's wedding.

I revived the memory that my mother was warned not to eat too much.

"When I was a kid, I felt like Jizil said she was throwing anything heeded into her mouth without hesitation."

"Um, are you eating wildflowers?"

"Probably because I heard that Dominic could eat grass, but I don't remember at all."

After talking about that, Agnes put his hand on his mouth and started laughing. Bernard looked dimly at whether she could do that kind of laughter, but she turned her eyes away because her eyes met.

"Aside from wildflowers, Dragier may not be a sweet to eat a lot."

"My mother, what should I say first ..."

At that time, Bernard was about seven or eight years old, and was full of food.

She throws Dragier into her mouth while telling her childhood memories.

"Dragier, what do you mean?"

"... May your seeds of happiness sprout."

Bernard looked at Agnies' face unintentionally.

If you look, you look down, dye your cheeks and look shy.

At that moment, he falls into a strange sensation, as if he had fallen into a bottomless hole.

A man who does not know the feeling of love did not realize the true nature of it.
