Heading to Illgner

With the sales day having ended prosperously, I made my way back to the temple while thinking of more ways to stealthily assist Elvira with her scheme. Upon my return, I immediately needed to get to work preparing the squad for their trip to Illgner. I summoned Lutz and Gil to the hidden room in my orphanage director’s chambers, asking them to select which gray priests would accompany them and prepare the daily necessities they would need.

“Gil, be careful when choosing clothes, okay? You’ll need outfits for both summer and autumn. I think it will be fairly cold when I come to get you during the Harvest Festival.”

“Understood.”

“Lutz, please have the Gilberta Company prepare several sets of clothes for the gray priests to wear while going out in Illgner. They don’t have to be very expensive, but they need something for when they’re not working in the workshop. Unlike in the temple, I don’t think they’ll be able to wear loose clothing there.”

“Alright. I’ll have that sorted once we’ve picked who’s coming with us.”

As I watched them both write things down on their diptychs, I racked my brain for what else they might need.

“Definitely don’t forget tableware. I can’t imagine they’ll have enough for this many people, and since the gray priests have never eaten without cutlery, it would no doubt be a major issue to not have any.”

Lutz was used to grabbing food with his hands and sharing cutlery in lower city eateries, but gray priests were raised to serve nobles and actually received relatively fancy upbringings as a result. They would probably freeze up from cultural shock in Illgner, just as Hasse’s orphans had struggled to adjust to life in the temple.

“I’ll ask Master Benno or Damian to get the silverware and all that. I know we’ll be staying in Illgner until the Harvest Festival, but when is that exactly?”

“...Probably after I gather my autumn ingredient. We’ll be doing that on the Night of Schutzaria, when the moon turns purple, so some time after then.”

Lutz had consoled me when I was all weepy about my failure last year. He must have remembered that, as he started scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

“Er... Well, don’t mess up this time.”

“Ngh... It’ll be fine this year. Ferdinand is coming with us.”

Ferdinand had mentioned that he planned to borrow Karstedt, commander of the Knight’s Order, from Sylvester for this year’s Night of Schutzaria. With both him and Eckhart thoroughly planning around the rush of feybeasts we had encountered last year, it was hard to imagine that anything would go too wrong.

But before that, we need to gather my summer ingredient.

“Anyway, this is a report from the Plantin Company,” Lutz said. “Damian is going to be visiting your workshop for a bit; he can’t really negotiate with Giebe Illgner if he doesn’t know how to make paper.”

“That’s fine, so long as Benno gave his permission for it. Just remember that, like the craftsmen, he can only go to the workshop.
