Chapter 18

Translator/Editor : Léabyss

The ability to translate the languages ​​was much more useful than I had thought.

This ability to read the ruins of civilizations that were destroyed in the past, as well as the texts of excavated documents, is a valuable resource for all the priests of Recatovia.

At first I only read and dictated the documents in the temple, but one day, several other people listened and were curious to learn how to decipher and study the ancient words. It has become an overwhelming situation to read all kinds of literature among dozens of priests and researchers included.

Many characters cannot be read because they are words that are not fully translated into Japanese. As I read the context, I discuss and fill in the words that I need with the help of the priests – although I was not good at studying in school, this job is quite fun …-.

I spent a few days interpreting just one sentence and when we finally got to the correct answer, everyone screamed holding hands, scowling and delighted eyes.

The priests are much older than me, but I knew the feeling of accomplishing a single goal in a group was quite exciting. It does not matter if we are adults or children. They were very grateful, they said things like: “Thanks to Earth-sama our intelligence is increasing” or “It would have cost us a lot without you.” And since it seemed like I had impressed the entire ministry, I was praised and loved exceedingly again.

I spend more and more time in the temple kitchen. There, the proportion of working men and women is divided equally.

They taught me to prepare the dishes dedicated to King Ryuo and also, the distribution of breakfasts and dinners for more than 200 priests and people who work in the temple. With snacks included.

The kitchen is quite large. There are three huge stone ovens that run on gas and there are several ovens that burn wood. There are plates, large pots, and a tasty smell of baked bread everywhere. First of all, although Lütbya has a hot climate throughout the year, there is always a lot of movement and a lively workforce. The kitchen is a bit old and polished old-fashioned, but I get the impression that being there constantly, it must actually be quite nice.

It seems that people who work in the kitchen do not know what attitude to take when they see me there. I am always accompanied by Custadio, but in times when I am not — like now — I only manage to bow in front of everyone and say : “Thank you for always preparing such a delicious meal.” The meals that I eat in the mornings and evenings at the castle are what they have prepared here so I wanted to thank you as much as possible!

The chef, who is a muscular man with a mustache, beard and who looks a bit scary, looks down and says: “Thank you very much for your kindness …”, while smiling and making his eyes smaller.

He was very kind, so I was surprised.

“Wow, Earth is very popular here.”

A woman with a huge smile slaps the chef on the back repeatedly and steps in front of me. Sigis had already introduced her to me: It’s Michelle-san. A woman of the same age as Custadio, with intricately woven and tied honey brown hair and the top part covered with a triangular-shaped cloth … Despite the beautiful appearance of the people of Lütbya, I felt completely familiar with their plump body and round face.

“Frogs have continually told me which condiments are your favorites, but from now on … I hope I can ask Earth directly what his special preferences are !!”

Michelle is very kind. She is by my side, talks to me and has a lot of patience for me.

“Do you want to cook, honey?. First, you have to peel some vegetables and prepare a few more ingredients.”
