"That's it for today, thank you for your help."

As the head chef, Dome bent down and made a true salute to the classmates who were helping in the kitchen (Note: The most respectful of the three salutes, leaning forward 45 degrees and looking at only 1 meter in front of him, is generally only used to thank and apologize. ）

"No, you're too polite."

Everyone said in unison.

Although the students from the chaos are still busy, for the students of Tokiwadai, the kitchen work is only until the morning due to the fact that they have their own scheduled projects in the afternoon, and the dome is no exception.

I was finally able to put down what I was doing and looked up at the wall, it was noon. It was then that she remembered that despite all morning in the kitchen, she hadn't eaten anything. Fortunately, the cafeteria downstairs is now open.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

As soon as she walked down the stairs, she heard a series of familiar screams.

"What did you do with such a beautiful cake?"

"Isn't that what someone who dares to eat art candy say?"

"Can you eat that much?"

"Isn't there a saying that sweets are put in the other stomach?"

(Sure enough...... ）

It was indeed someone she was already quite familiar with, and could even be called a friend. She laughed easily at the amusing argument between them, as if the fatigue accumulated in the morning had faded a little.

"Good afternoon, Zuotian, Chuchun."

She stepped forward and bowed.

"Ah, Kaihara-senpai? Good afternoon. ”

The early spring immediately returned the gift. Zuo Tian held his chin with his fingers and looked her up and down.

"What's wrong? Saten-san. ”

She asked, a little curiously.

"No~~ I thought that this type of eldest lady of Haiyuan Senior Sister might not be suitable for wearing this, but I really didn't expect it to be unexpectedly suitable, that kind of pitiful look."

Zoten's words made her smile bitterly.

"I want to look handsome, after all, today is a job that is akin to a conductor. If it weren't for the school's arrangement, I would even want to change into men's clothes. ”

"No, no, no, that's not going to work." Chu Chun hurriedly shook his head, "Senior Sister Haiyuan just wants to be quiet and quiet, so that she can meet the identity of the eldest lady." ”

"I don't want to be like the eldest lady at all."

Dome smiled helplessly. It seems that unconsciously, even those who are familiar with her regard her as the eldest lady in the traditional impression. Although from her point of view, she just wants to be more polite and understand others. It was almost the only way she could identify herself with her identity without being confused by double memories.

The point is that what she doesn't realize is that this is not what women ask of themselves.

There's a joke about a woman telling her boyfriend about how much she has in herself, asking him which one he likes and what she wants to do. As a result, her boyfriend said, "If only you didn't twitter." The image of the same concept, each other's inner understanding will always only be the other in their own eyes, not the other in the eyes of the other party, which is the key to the disagreement in the gender archetype.

As an example, men actually have a good impression of women who can be coquettish, but women often implement "coquettish" as "willful" in their sexual understanding. From a psychological point of view, women's own image of themselves is usually only between "mother" and "daughter".

Maybe from her point of view, her personality is slowly distorted unconsciously. At least, even in Tokiwadai, where the eldest lady gathers, there are very, very few people who can really do it like her. Moreover, he is imitating her words and deeds because he longs for her.

So in fact, she is a real outlier.

"It's better to say, in fact, this is the only way for the real eldest lady in ancient times."

Saying this, he put his hands on her shoulders from behind him.

As a girl, she is somewhat defensive. But at this point, she didn't make any moves.

"Brother, it's too late."

She pursed her lips slightly, expressing her small displeasure.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I greeted an acquaintance" Mitsuki Kaihara raised one hand and made an apologetic gesture. "The modern concept of 'maid' in ancient times came from 'court lady' rather than 'servant' from the concept of 'slave'. In ancient times, they were the eldest ladies of genuine value, and their status was completely different. It's like the concept of 'housekeeping', and even has a partial military background. ”

He wasn't trying to show off his knowledge, but based on his general understanding, Hakuharu should have been curious about the topic. If you continue this topic, my sister won't be holding herself accountable for being late.

"Huh? Is that the case? ”

Sure enough, I've always been interested in the eldest ladies looking forward to early spring.

"In ancient times, a knighthood was a military position. For example, the word 'count', which means 'count', can mean to guard a piece of land. The Earl is called 'Earl' in England, which has a different meaning, coming from the Anglo-Saxon word for 'chief', but still has a strong military connotation. And the 'Marquess', the marquis, literally means count of the borderlands, was created from the very beginning of the Frankish era for the needs of war. There is also the viscount, 'Viscount', which literally translates to the vice-earl, which is actually another name for the governor of the castle. In this context, the housekeeper naturally has the same background. In fact, there are two main types of housekeepers. One was a veteran who was discharged from the army and served as a bodyguard and governess in the homes of nobles. The other is simply the eldest man sent by the aristocratic family for internship. In some ways, these stewards are even more 'warriors' than barons (the origin of the word baron is 'warriors'. Later it referred to a person who held land freely and owed allegiance only to the king. Of course, this is also a word with a strong military connotation) have a high status. As a position subordinate to an aristocratic family, the butler naturally also inevitably had a military character. There are generally two sources of housekeepers today, one is a veteran who retired from the army, and served as an instructor and bodyguard in a noble family. The second is the children of the nobility who are in practice, and they are usually even the eldest men. It is only in historical research that the etymology is examined, because it is true that most of the existing words often have to be etymological to see their original meaning, and some of them have symbolic meanings themselves. For example, the word 'giant' is a kind of representation of the forces of nature. Especially in Norse mythology, if the gods and mortals are replaced, and the giants are replaced by the natural environment, it can almost be said that it is a story of ancient humans protecting their own civilization in the harsh natural environment. Interestingly, in Norse mythology, the end of the world was the king of giants, Surter, the ultimate representative of the forces of nature. The magic sword in his hand, laevatain, is also synonymous, and the word literally means 'to cut off the branches'. As we know, the world in Norse mythology is built on a world tree. ”

It wasn't Mitsuki Umihara who answered her, and certainly not the girls present, but a gentleman who was much older than them.

If he is ten years younger, he is probably a handsome young man who is enough to make a girl obsessed. But even now, he is an impressive gentleman.

Although he seems to be personable, that natural smile makes people feel like a kind person. But as soon as Dome saw her, he immediately bowed his head deeply.

"I didn't expect you to come, Father."

"Huh?!!!"

"Kaihara-san's ...... Father? ”

Except for Mitsuki Haihara, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked.

In a group of middle school students who can only barely get out of the "child" stage at best, I am afraid that adults will inevitably be more conspicuous. However, on the other side, the dormitory supervisor of Tokiwadai brought more children with him, so it didn't look too obtrusive at this time.

"Father, didn't you say you couldn't come if something happened? Or ......" Dome didn't know what he was thinking, and his pretty little face flushed with a thin red, and even his voice was much quieter, "Or did Oleg Dimitryevich say something to you?" ”。

"Oleg Dimitry? I haven't seen him yet. How? Did he say something strange again? ”

"No, no, no! Nothing. ”

For some reason, Dome breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed a little embarrassed by the topic.

"My original plan for today was to try to convince a stubborn and respectable lady. She asked me to show proof, and it just so happened that this was the ideal environment for experimentation. ”

"Experimental environment?"

Dome tilted her head slightly.

"Find out where the wisdom of the crowd lies, and break down an unrealistic ideal in sociology. From the perspective of holism, it is perhaps the most important code for human society to interpret and discover a code rooted in the entire human society in a mathematical way. ”

In just a few sentences, it describes a concept that is surprisingly large, although everyone does not understand it. After saying this, Mr. Umihara laughed.

"It's not that serious. Experiments to explain the essence may be simpler. If you're interested, you can try it too. The experimental method is there. ”

He pointed to a Tokiwadai student not far away.

There was nothing special about this student, but at a time when Tokiwadai students were generally busy, she was just holding a clear plastic box full of small balls in both hands and asking customers what to do.

Dome was thoughtful, she seemed to understand the content of this experiment somewhat. You may even guess the results of the experiment.

Although she knows almost nothing about sociology, she doesn't know what the so-called wisdom of crowd is. However, she knew a hypothesis in physics.

A hypothesis about the whole, made by Enrique Femi, which borders on jokes, but is very useful in many cases.

Seeing that she seemed to have thought of something, Mr. Kaihara reached out and touched her head lovingly.

"In addition to this, I also want to see my lovely daughter's talent show in the afternoon. This request should not be excessive, right? ”

_

At this time, at the other end of the restaurant, a small white figure who was just about to get up and get the last piece of soufflé that was very sought-after stopped when he heard his words. She then peeked at them from the end of the stacked plate with a look that seemed to be wary of something. When she noticed that Qiongno was calling the gentleman "Father-sama", she moved as if she wanted to stand up.

But this vigilance, when he found that they had begun to say something else, immediately changed to a look of resentment.

In the midst of her brief hesitation, the last piece of soufflé was caught on her plate by a high school girl in trousers.

Under her gaze as if she had seen an enemy, the high school girl walked all the way in the direction of the Kaihara siblings.

This is a very unfortunate thing.

"Excuse me. This young lady, can you do a test? ”

"Huh?"

The white girl turned her head with a look of resentment. The Tokiwadai schoolgirl who called her seemed to be used to seeing big scenes, and even if the other party's face was not good, she still maintained a perfect smile.

She was holding a clear plastic box with a large number of colored balls of various colors, the size of her little finger.

"Guess how many balls are in this box?"

Behind them, an elderly man dressed as a traveler was silently picking up a coffee cup and taking a sip slowly.

======================================

Interviewer's note: At the request of the author, write about a rather tragic character today.

Let's start with a piece of news: "We found out that Hertz, the inventor of electromagnetic waves, died of sepsis in Bonn at the age of 37, and long-term electromagnetic radiation may cause leukemia (blood cancer) and sepsis." ”

It was one of the reasons protesters protested against the radio station tower in the news of a ridiculous incident a few months ago, and it reminded me of those great days.

In fact, the passage does not even understand the basic concept, Hertz never invented electromagnetic waves, what he did was to confirm the existence of electromagnetic waves, and then proved the correctness of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory.

They knew that Hertz had died young, but they obviously didn't know that Hertz was not the only person who had confirmed the theory of electromagnetism at the time. The other is the tragedy of one of the physics that I want to popularize now, O.J. Lodge.

O.J. Lodge proved the theory of electromagnetic waves at about the same time as Hertz, and the results of his experiments were much more intuitive. He used this method to transmit alternating current to two wires, so that he found a luminous pattern between the two wires, which was equally spaced along the wire. O.J. Lodge realized that these were the crests and troughs of the waves, and that this was the electromagnetic wave in Maxwell's theory!

Clearly, O.J. Lodge knew the importance of his experiment. He was ecstatic and decided to go on vacation to celebrate. It was a decision he would regret for the rest of his life, as he didn't know Hertz was doing the same thing. Just as he was returning from a triumphant holiday to unveil his great discovery at the British Science Talks, his friend told him that Hertz had published his paper one step ahead.

Anyone who understands the importance of the Hertz experiment will know what opportunity O.J. Lodge missed. But even more tragic than missing an opportunity to go down through the ages is missing out on two times in a row! And our great and tragic Mr. O.J. Lodge accomplished this difficult action.

In 1894, Mr. O.J. Lodge did another experiment that will go down in history: he assembled a receiver with a metal powder detector as the core, and received Morse code 50 meters away. That's right, Mr. O.J. Lodge invented wireless telegraphy. Wait a minute, seeing this, many people may want to say, wasn't the person who invented the infinite telegraph Marconi? That's right, that's where O.J. Lodge's second tragedy comes in—he makes his work public. There was one man who saw his paper, and that was Marconi. Marconi modified O.J. Lodge's equipment and patented a technology that he didn't invent (which doesn't remind you of a company now). O.J. Lodge never imagined this to happen, and he became a footnote in history once again. Our real physicist, poor Mr. O.J. Lodge, had only one patent for FM technology in his lifetime, but this patent was eventually bought by Marconi's company. Marconi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1909 for radio technology, perhaps the saddest moment of O.J. Lodge's life. In fact, O.J. Lodge is definitely an old-school scientist of extraordinary magnanimity, who has repeatedly praised Hertz's achievements in public for changing the times. But Marconi is the only one, and we can't find any comments about him, which shows that this is one thing that he can't let go of in his life.

However, at this time, God and his old man showed his fair side. He allowed O.J. Lodge, a lifelong master of electromagnetic waves, to live for 89 years, not only longer than Hertz, but even longer than Marconi who was more than twenty years his junior.

I don't know how the protesters explain O.J. Lodge's longevity.
