76 – Coming of Age Ceremony (6)

The storage shed made by Monia was close enough to be right under the house.

If you connect it with a ladder, the distance between the floor of the house and the roof of the warehouse seems to be about 3 to 4 steps.

“Hey, I put a lot of thought into making a place that connects a house and a warehouse!”

Monia pointed to the hole in the floor of the house and the hole in the roof of the shed.

“If you open the roof of the warehouse, won’t all the rainwater get in when it rains? So I made it like that while thinking of a chimney!”

Around the hole in the roof, bamboo was lined up in a square, forming the shape of a chimney.

“I thought about it.”

“hehehehe, that’s right!”

In addition, I put leaves around it again to prevent the rain from leaking.

“Did you remove the ladder on purpose?”

“Yes. It would be difficult if it gets tangled with the house ladder.”

At Monia’s words, Chester nodded.

The ladder that had been hanging out of the warehouse until Monia was working on it disappeared without realizing it.

Looking at the warehouse from the outside, there was no entrance or exit except for the windows.

“uh.”

“ah.”

At that moment, Ant poked his head out of the window and barked at the two.

“When did he come in?”

“Couldn’t it have fallen in by mistake and not been able to come out?”

“Hmm. With the outside appearance like this, shall we go inside?”

“Yes! Come on in! lol.”

As Chester and Monia entered the house, Ant whimpered, perhaps realizing that they were approaching.

“Oops.”

“Why did you fall out?”

“Well, I think I should make a step here.”

Chester went down to the entrance of the warehouse where Ant was missing and went into the warehouse that Monia had built.

“Oh, isn’t that bad?”

“really?”

“yes.”

After going to the middle of the warehouse Monia had made, Chester jumped up and down to check the durability of the warehouse.

Every time Chester jumps, the bamboo that forms the floor bends and sways a little.

Chester nodded and pushed his feet against the floor, feeling the bamboo spinning at some point.

“Hmm.”

‘Is the binding on the bottom a bit loose?’

It seems that the twigs and bamboo were not firmly tied together.

If you give it a little more strength, the bamboo will turn a little bit again.

“oh.”

Monia, who saw that, blushed with shame.

‘I said I’d check hard!’

However, no matter how meticulously you check and check again, as long as you are a human being, there is bound to be something missing or a mistake.

What’s funny is that loopholes that haven’t been found even after such meticulous inspection are easily found if others want to find them.

Chester checked again and nodded in satisfaction.

“yes.”

Spinning a loose piece of bamboo with his feet.

“Other than this, everything else is fine.”

“Really?”

“yes. Did you do much better than expected?”

“Ehehehe.”

When Chester praised her, Monia’s face softened and she began to laugh like an idiot.

“Ehehehehe.”

“Let’s just tie the bamboo more properly and finish it.”

“Yes! I will do it!”

Monia rushed over and tied the bamboo that Chester pointed at tighter so it wouldn’t turn.

“complete! It’s really complete now!”

“yes.”

Chester looked outside through the window of the warehouse Monia had built.

The green light of the endless dense forest is engraved on Chester’s retina.

“Well done.”

When Chester said that in a low voice, with the wind blowing, Monia started to smile again.

But Chester was serious.

Even if it was crudely made, he would have praised it, but this was enough for Chester to be satisfied with.

‘Coming to think of it, Monia’s eyes were good.’

It was Monia who had an aesthetic sense recognized even in the kingdom.

That sense of aesthetics was not developed through education in the duke’s family, but was a natural talent of Monia.

I wonder if they clung to the brand of ‘artisans recognized by Monia’ in all fields, from accessories and dresses to architects and furniture makers.

Of course, there were few people who could satisfy Monia’s aesthetic sense.

‘Is that so? It’s much better than I thought.’

Chester basically makes things with the idea that ‘it only needs to have a form and function based on durability’.

On the other hand, Monia was different.

Unlike Chester’s houses and warehouses where thick and thin bamboos are jagged and tangled here and there, it is nice to see that bamboos of similar thickness and length are lined neatly and neatly for the walls and floors.

‘It would have been difficult to find and match all of these things.’

Even the rope was like that.

All the ropes are neatly knotted so that there are no corners as much as possible and no obtrusive parts.

‘How did you do this?’

No, I could see it.

You must have done it beforehand when you started twisting the rope with the bark.

I’m going to bring this place and this place here and tie it up, so let’s do it like this.

‘It’s great that you put it together again. Since there is no tool to measure the length, are you saying that they were all measured by eye?’

Thanks to this, the rope is visible, but it was neat enough to look like part of the floor interior.

The place Chester had just pointed out was also as tidy as the rest, even though it had been re-tied.

‘Similarly to the window.’

In an emergency, of course, like Chester, I would focus all my attention on functionality and ignore looks.

However, if you can afford it like now, it wasn’t bad to pursue such an outward appearance.

“there.”

As Chester continued to look around the warehouse, Monia approached holding the whining Ant in her arms.

“So, how are you?”

I was praised, but I was not told that I had completed the coming-of-age ceremony brilliantly.

Chester, who saw that Monia was anxious, said with a smile.

“yes. Perfect. It has succeeded beyond my imagination.”

“… … !!”

As Monia’s surroundings brightened and she smiled brightly, Chester looked at Monia and said,

“Shall we have a party tonight to commemorate the completion of the coming-of-age ceremony?”

“A party?”

“yes.”

At the word party, Monia’s face raised expectations, and Chester lived up to her expectations.

“Let’s eat all the remaining honey.”

There won’t be much left anyway, so I decided to use up all the honey in a big way.

“Wow!!”

And, it was such a wonderful remark that Monia, who was always tantalized by eating very little honey, was ecstatic.

“Wow! and! Really?! All!”

“yes. You eat everything.”

“Wow! … … !! Haaa!!”

Monia, who stopped breathing for a moment at how surprised she was, began dancing round and round while hugging Ant with a face red with excitement.

* * *

Night on the floating island, darkened as the sun disappears over the mountains.

Normally, he would have eaten quietly at home, but Chester, who decided to throw a big party, left the house and piled firewood in the yard.

This firewood was not originally there, but Chester had obtained it while it was still light.

In fact, there was a fairly ambiguous part to call it firewood.

Because, the firewood that was piling up right in front of Monia’s eyes was just a log.

Chester plowed up all the surrounding grass and piled logs on top of the exposed soil, inserting small twigs, kindling sticks, and regular-sized pieces of firewood between the logs.

After throwing a lot of firewood to be burned inside the log, bring the embers of the house bonfire and insert it here and there.

Blowing air into the embers, the whole log firewood piled high to eye level began to burn.

“Whoa!”

Monia, who saw that, forgot the honey she was holding in both hands and chewing, and jumped up from her seat in admiration.

It was a rare spectacle to see the fire consuming the dry firewood, engulfing the log firewood, and soaring so high that the sky overflowed as if it were on fire.

“Wow! wow! Ohhhhh!”

Monia was at a loss for words and admired the burning flames with strange noises.

A bonfire that was lit on a daily basis.

It was the first time that the flame like that bonfire felt so big, magnificent, magnificent, scary and wonderful.

“… … .”

Chester saw Monia enthralled by the great flames, and walked over to her and held out her hand.

“?”

“How will you dance?”

I heard that while working as a butler, I often saw it at a party, but it was awkward to do it myself, so I applied for a dance that I pushed out with a little shy smile.

Looking at Chester’s outstretched hand, Monia carefully put down the honey she was holding in both hands.

And while trying to grab Chester’s outstretched hand.

“ah.”

Realizing that his hand was covered in honey, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.

But before my hands are all gone.

“It’s okay, that’s about it.”

Chester reached out and grabbed Monia’s hand.

The feel of Chester’s hand as he pushed away the sticky honey and firmly grasped his hand.

Feeling that, Monia’s face turned red, and Chester pulled her and brought her in front of the flames.

“… … .”

Monia felt the fire burning right in front of her and said.

“It’s hot.”

“right?”

“Big, hot… … It’s amazing anyway.”

Hearing Monia’s impressions, Chester laughed and started jogging his feet lightly.

A dance that is different from the dance that Monia learned, and expresses a joyful heart that is just endlessly excited.

At first, Monia was embarrassed and dragged along, but soon she and Chester danced around the huge bonfire cheerfully.

– … … .

Ant watched the two of them and secretly stole and ate the honey that Monia had left behind.
