"I thought a new priest was coming, but I see that the new church is now under the care of the sisters.

Yes. I have just become a bishop myself. I am happy to hear that a new church will be built.

"I don't think it will take too long since we still have the building materials from when we built the castle. You are sure that the church and the orphanage will be built in a way that makes it easy for people to come and go, right?"

"Yes. There are not many orphans here in Barca, so for the time being I will be the only one running the place."

Then we'll connect them with a kind of covered walkway. You can look forward to it when it's finished.

God bless you, Mr. Ars.

　A new church is to be built in Vulcania.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The church was to be built by the sisters who had originally run the church in the village of Barca together with Bishop Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the approximate style of the church has been decided, so we decided to build an orphanage attached to the church accordingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The site is located in the southeast area within the outer walls of Vulcania.

　In the center of the south district, there is a main street, a free market, and a residential area around it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The church and the orphanage are to be built in some space, as they are located at a short distance from there.

　While directing the construction work, I also decided to build new facilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were two new facilities: a school and a vocational training center.

　The school and the vocational training center were two new facilities I was building.

　Originally, Barka village and its neighboring villages had only poor farmers and basically no one who could even write properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In such a land, I, a farmer by birth, was assigned to rule and manage these two villages as a knight of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it was impossible for me to manage them properly on my own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I hired an old peddler as a safekeeper, and my part-time brother and Vargas were in charge of training the peasants, and I would assign the peasants to do their jobs, and I would watch over them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this was hard work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since I could not write properly, I had to see them working and receive verbal reports directly from them in order to check their work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we have made a new plant paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be fine if you could make a report orally, but we would like you to keep at least a simple record of your work.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is natural to think so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I told each one of you to learn how to write.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I had thought lightly about the acquisition of these letters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, there is the magic of [memory storage].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you write down the letters you want them to remember and use magic to memorize them, they will be memorized without a doubt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that everyone would be able to use the letters, even if it would take a little time to learn them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I must say that I was a little naive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because [memory storage] is just a magic to remember exactly what you were seeing at that time, like a photograph, not something that makes you smarter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember what I taught him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was a different story if he could make use of it or not.

　Even if they could remember and write the words correctly, it did not necessarily mean that they could write legible sentences.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reports that I asked them to write on a trial basis were quite difficult to read, although they managed to convey the meaning by listing several words that they had memorized.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, although they could memorize words, they could not understand grammar, which is the rule of writing, and could not write easy-to-understand sentences.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This also leads to the inability to calculate numbers, even if one has memorized them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Frankly speaking, it is not enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, we need more people with decent academic abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why we built the school.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, I've decided to build a school, and I'm counting on you, Kyle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What, I'm going to do it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I'm counting on you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What are you talking about? I'm just a kid. I'm the one who needs to know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, there are things only you can teach me. Come on, Kyle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to send my brother Kyle to this school.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I do not intend to entrust everything to Kyle, who is younger than me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, I'm going to ask an old man in the village who knows things to teach the kids a few things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The school we built near the church and the orphanage will open before noon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The school is a school that offers free lunch to those who come to study.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Classes are held before lunch, and the students are dismissed after studying and eating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, an old man tells old stories and teaches what used to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among them, some merchants became temporary lecturers and taught us how to write and calculate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of them was Kyle's class.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Kyle did not teach writing, history, geography, or arithmetic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was how to use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The way I used to teach him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother Byte used it to strengthen his body and became strong enough to fight on the battlefield, even though he was still a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is another use for magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's about being smart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of allocating the magic power to muscle power like my older brother, I try to concentrate the magic power in my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This will dramatically improve your concentration, judgment, memory, and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I once taught Kyle how to manipulate magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, Kyle learned a lot of things from his childhood and became quite intelligent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, Kyle has been helping me with many of the administrative tasks of the Barka Knight Domain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Kyle can do so much as a child, there is no reason why other children cannot do the same.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Instead of teaching study itself, they decided to teach the inhabitants of Barca through Kyle how to improve their mental faculties.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the method of magical training began to spread in Barca.
