436 Fireplace operation (1/2)

”... a bit chilly”

I woke up this morning with the chills I felt on my body.

One month after the autumn harvest festival has passed. The air was gradually dry and cold.

I was going to keep my clothes warm, but today's temperature seems to be much higher.

Crawling out of the bed and looking out the window, it doesn't seem to be snowing.

As expected it's not that cold.

When I was relieved to see the outside scenery, Bartolo had a bucket in the courtyard.

What is he doing?

When I opened the window to call out, a cold wind came in from outside.

I wanted to close the window violently, but then I couldn't understand what opened the window.

”What are you doing, Bartolo?”

”I'm picking a branch.”

Bartolo replied, recovering the branches dropped by the trees planted in the courtyard.

”What are branches used for?”

”To turn on the fireplace”

”Oh! Fireplace!”

Heating appliances that are active in winter are finally moving.

It was as exciting as the arrival of winter was officially recognized.

”Are you interested in shavens?”

”Yeah, I'm waiting in the living room so come back early!”

”Hey, isn't that a place where a shaven can help pick a branch?”

While listening to Bartolo's disappointing dialogue, he closed the window as soon as he was finished.

In such cold weather, it is not a joke to pick branches. I just want to witness the fireplace.

Change from sleepwear to tight, warm clothes, and I go down to the living room.

It's probably early in the morning, not even breakfast time. No one was in the living room yet.

However, early rising is for everyone who is habitual, so it's already happening, and maybe they're relaxing in the room.

Well, Bartolo isn't signing up to the living room to collect the branches yet.

I was just bored waiting, so I decided to prepare tea by myself.

It's good to have someone called a maid to make it, but I'm sorry to call you out on a busy morning.

It's easier to brew by yourself if you care about strange things, so I'll do it myself in such a case.

Put the tea leaves in the teapot and pour the magical hot water.

At this time, it is important to add vigorously. By doing so, the tea leaves in the teapot will jump greatly, and the flavor and taste will increase.

If you add hot water, just turn over the hourglass and wait for an appropriate time.

The tea leaves are not so big, but it's better to steam a little more today because the temperature is low today.

In the teapot, the stirred tea leaves rise and fall softly.

Such a state is like a creature and cute.

”Oh, Bartolo. Welcome back.”

While watching the teapot, Bartolo returned to the living room.

The bucket contained not only branches but also tools such as large firewood and fire scissors. The preparation is already ready.

”Chikusho, only the shaven will warm and wait.”

”Okay, I've been waiting for hot tea, so please pardon me.”

While calming Bartolo, I prepared tea for two people.

This time, honey was put in to soften the heart of Bartolo.

I handed the tea cup and Bartolo wrapped it in a big hand.

Then blow your breath several times to cool and put your mouth in the cup.

”Oh, it's honey. This warmth and sweetness seem to permeate the body.”

”When it gets cold, warm things feel even better.”

Apparently, honey safely melted Bartolo's heart.

Bartolo's face, which had a steep face, quickly became soft.

I usually don't put anything in tea, but in winter I want to try milk tea and so on. What is it?

”Now let's warm up the living room.”

Bartoro rushed the tea and quickly approached the fireplace.

It's quick to drink it down even though I haven't even drunk yet.

Place the tea cup on the table and I head for the fire.

When Bartolo opens the vent, bricks are installed in a U-shape.

It is difficult to light a fire even if you suddenly put firewood. Placing bricks and laying them on them creates a path for fire and makes it easier to catch fire.

While observing large firewood, Bartolo took out the paper from his pocket.

”The shaven should twist the paper properly.”

”Is this a good guy to use?”

Aside from scraps used for notes, the handed-in paper is of high quality, used for letters.

It's no wonder that a fairly expensive piece of paper is set on fire. Well, it's okay to use Bang Bang in my financial situation.

”It's because Nord broke down when writing a letter.”

”Then, even on the back side of the graffiti paper-uh, I wrote down to the back and noticed a mistake.”
