Col’s days of prayer and contemplation continued, and as the copies of copies of Hyland’s manuscript spread throughout town, Myuri finally caught up to where he had finished his work. She could not help but interfere with his business, deliberately rushing him on to work faster and faster, but he felt the same way. When he finally finished translating the seventh chapter, he felt as though he was gasping for air and finally breathing again.

All the fundamental teachings found in the scripture lay within the first seven chapters, and the rest was about the travels of the prophets who had been given the words of God and the memoirs of their disciples. Of course, Col’s translation was provisionary, and there were plenty of things that needed to be adjusted, but the general idea should have been communicated.

Then, he also felt relieved that he made it in time. Hyland, who had been running around laying the groundwork for the plan, just yesterday finally began serious talks with the archbishop at the Church.

From what he had heard, he imagined the town would be completely on the side of Winfiel Kingdom. A church built on the townspeople’s respect as well as their donations surely could not ignore their wishes.

The first seven chapters of translated scripture that contained the basic teachings of God would unquestionably support this idea.

And his heart felt full when he thought about how the townspeople were so interested in God’s teachings.

The world was not without worth. What was right was right, and the path would continue to the truth.

Long after the scribes returned home at dusk, he could somehow feel the last droplets of sunlight from the roof on the other side of the street.

“Brother! Are you done?”

Myuri was the only one who would open a door without knocking.

When he turned toward her, it felt like he was seeing her face for the first time in a long while.

“Didn’t you say you’d be finished sometime today?”

“I did, just now.”

“Good, good.”

He could not help but smile as she spoke like a parent. “Have you learned a thing or two about hard work?”

“Of course. I’ve been doing so much every day. Everyone needs me everywhere. But what surprised me the most is how many jobs need to be done.”

As Col checked the ink of the translation as it dried on the parchment, his heart relaxed at Myuri’s enjoyment.

“Companies are the waterwheels that move the world, you know.”

“There’s lots of boring and tedious work, though.”

“That’s how it is.”

“I know, but…I had to count the coins packed in these crates, and there were enough to drive me crazy! And there’s so much money, and I spent all day counting it until my hands were black, but I only got a tiny, tiny, tiny bit of it!”

Now that he thought about it, there was indeed a night where she was particularly bothered by the smell on her hands. He had thought she touched a fish or something similar, but it seemed she was repelled by the smell of coin.
