Ascendance of a Bookworm

A paradise you can't let in.

What I was taken by the gray clergy was not an ambulance available even to the needy, but clearly an accommodation room. That, too, seems to be a beautiful room with a decent interior, against rich people and merchants like those who would be introduced to the aristocracy even if they thought from the waiting room at the gate.

The cause would be this costume......

Approximate household income can be determined by how many cloths can be used for costumes and how many colors and threads can be aligned for embroidery.

Regardless of my usual clothing, my outfit today is rarely a flickering fluff, and the embroidery is only on the hem, but it is sewn with little flowers made of knitted yarn, which is luxurious. Hair decoration is a special specification, and if you just saw it at first glance, I think you'd be judged to be Frieda level rich.

But... you don't have to correct me for being a poor person on purpose, do you? It's the cleric who made the decision on his own, and I can't imagine what it would be like to be treated if he gave me my palm back. Stupid. That means you don't have to tell me everything honestly, okay?

"Excuse me."

As I frowned and pondered, by the gray cleric I was gently seated in a long chair.

The hair decoration was then pulled out almost simultaneously when it was fixed by catching a body that seemed fluffy and relaxed, and the shoes were removed in a polite motion.

heh!?

Give it a little response that is too natural and natural. Looks like when Utte burned this and took care of me at Frieda's house. Gray clerics are obviously used to caring for people.

Forgetting also to solidify, and opening his eyes, the cleric rose up and made his bed, and carried me to bed in a princess's arms.

"Oh, you know, really, it's okay"

"Lies are not good in front of God. This is a temple."

I'm not lying...

I was put to bed and carefully futon. The cleric then places the hair decorations by the bedside and arranges the shoes in front of the bed. It's more like a skilled side service than a cleric, and it's uncomfortable.

"I'm resting. I'll come back later to see how it goes."

"... Yes"

Pathan and the door closed and the cleric left the room.

It is true that you still don't have much strength in your body, so wait for your recovery while you fall asleep in bed.

My family has decided to ask me what caused my fall, but I can't say I fell because I laughed too much. Rutz, who worried me, must be angry, too. The moment I thought so, I remembered Lutz stopping by at GOOKO, and I laughed zero pups.

A little bit of gobbling brought back the strength of my body. I try to hold my hand or open it to check my grip.

Well, what do we do? I'm kind of dying to go pick flowers.

I have trouble with the end of the day when I do it even though I don't know what the water field is, even though it is all the way through the bed. Maybe people like you stay here don't end up on your own because you're a squire, but I don't have a squire.

And I don't like it when the first clergy I meet takes care of me. At the very least, I want to sneak in after I ask someone about the water field and can finish it myself.

sleigh and get up and try to shake your hands and feet gently. It doesn't look like it's going to fall off all of a sudden. I put my hair together with a hammer that was placed by my bedside. At Frieda's house, a bell was placed to call people by the bedside, but it's not here.

It's an emergency, and let's go find people.

I don't know how long the hell it will take for people to find me, so I want to act before I get stuck cutting feathers.

When I got out of bed and put on my shoes, I walked out of the room.

Even with sculptures and relief on columns and walls, it basically all follows a white stone corridor. Tips and walking footsteps echo the wall and sound loud, but if you don't do any footsteps other than yourself, there's no sign of people at all. For one thing, I start walking to get back to where the baptism ceremony was taking place.

... Is that it? Wrong place to turn, huh?

Even though it was in the white temple, I could see color by the way. It's no longer my fault that sculptures and stone statues are getting a little sophisticated and luxurious. Looks like the nobles got in and out of the area.

Zach's blood draws me away. If the aristocrats find us, they'll interrogate us, and I just think it'll be a terrible and troublesome development.

Not good. We have to get back there fast!

And I turned my heels back, and began to return unto the path which I had come early, frightened. I want to get out of the aristocratic zone as soon as possible. Walk with your finger pointing and confirming the distinctive landmarks so that you can return on the right path.

You saw this sculpture, didn't you? I recognize that cloth too...

I heard a regular footstep called cuttlefish approaching me looking for a bend to get back to the lodging room. If it was after I got out of the aristocratic zone, I would have raised my hands and welcomed them, but now I don't want to be found and I want to avoid them.

I wish I was a cleric, but I'm afraid when I was noble.

I'll look around with awkwardness, but there's nowhere to hide in the hallway. I was found and caught.

"Who!? What are you doing here!?

It was the clergyman of a woman with her hair properly tied up who had been speaking harshly. He's got a crisp face that looks like he could do his job, but he's got an atmosphere somewhat like a colorful secretary.

She was also wearing a gray, priestly garment of a different design, similar to the one who carried me. I don't know if men and women have different designs or are they different from rituals for everyday use. Speaking of which, I don't think there were any female clerics at the baptism ceremony, blurry.

Exhaling relief at not being aristocratic, I immediately apologized for stepping into the aristocratic zone.

"I'm sorry. My name is Mine and I collapsed at the baptism ceremony and rented your room. I was looking for people because I didn't have a squire and I didn't have a bell calling people. I think I'm lost, and when I find out, here I am..."

She sighed as if she had no choice but to look at me from top to bottom. I put one hand on my cheek, and I'm just exhaling in my worries, but I can't keep an eye out oddly enough.

"I'll take you to the chapel where the christening ceremony was. Can you wait a minute?"

"Yes, thank you for your help"

A cleric with slightly narrowed eyes walks away sounding cutlets and shoes. I follow with a small run, but when I travel long distances, I am likely to fall.

"Wait here for a moment. I'm gonna do something for you."

But it was fortunate that she didn't have to fall, thanks to the fact that she was about a minute away from one room.

"Ha, ha..."

Why, when I nodded in a rough breath, the cleric frowned slightly worried and glanced at me, then pushed the door in giggly.

As I laid my hands on the wall and breathed, I saw behind the door that was open, inside the room where she casually went in, and I hardened with great breath.

"Huh!?... Could it be, the library?

Not so big a room, but with sloppy bookshelves lined up between walls. Although most shelves are packed with paper and wooden plaques from what I saw, they are keyed, some shelves don't know what's in them, and I could guess that valuable books are being delivered.

In the center of the room were two long desks for viewing with beveled ceilings installed opposite each other so that the book was easy to read. It was a long-connected desk and chair that felt like it was in the lecture room at the university, and it was about five people long enough to sit side by side.

And from the top of the desk, roughly equally spaced, sturdy, heavy-looking chains drip, with thick books tied to chains and six books lined up.

"... 'Chain Library'."

Going to a foreign historical library was a Reina-era dream. Temple libraries of different worlds, not foreign, but may I also assume that this was a dream come true? Foreign libraries, keyed bookshelves, chain libraries, all of which Reino could not help but read in a book and actually wanted to see in touch with the history of the library.

My fingertips are trembling holding my chest. I can see the heart striking an early bell and the blood spinning through my whole body with great momentum. I saw the miracle that what I had always wanted existed in front of me, and I was overflowing with hot tears from next to next.

"Ha, I've never seen..."

I've never seen a chain library before, but I've never seen enough books for a library to be made before in this world. It's a treasure trove of happiness for me, with a life that wasn't so big a room but I couldn't find a single book.

It is precisely this library that God makes and pays and paradise. My God is here!

"Pray to God! Thank God!

Follow the town when you enter it.

Library, which, too, I discovered the Cheyne Library, posing as a G.O.K., then sat down and gave thanks to God. I want to believe that although I fluttered a little, my gratitude and gratitude are conveyed.

Wipe your face and hands with clothes and check again and again for dirt.

Confirming that my hands had become clean, I followed the cleric who had gone in first and stepped out willingly to enter paradise.

"Excuse me...... BUBE!?

It felt like I crashed into an automatic door that didn't open, hitting him hard in the face. I'm flashing a tickle in front of me because I bumped into him pretty well.

"I said..."

I sat down on the spot, holding my face with one hand, and explored around the entrance with the other. I can't get any further behind than a certain amount of time. After all, there were invisible walls. I tried beating it with Tessitesi, but there's no sign of it opening.

"Huh? Why?

The female cleric went in normally. I don't know why I'm the only one rejected. I feel like it's getting dark in front of me, and I slap the wall of transparency full of power. The invisible walls were not even frightened.

Paradise is right in front of you, but you can't let it in. I can't even touch this many books I see.

Can there be such cruel torture? It's too bad to come this far and keep it. God's moron, moron! Give me back my gratitude!

"No, let me in! Let me in, too!

Books are expensive and rare enough to have only about nobility. So much so that he was using magic equipment to silence the child at the christening ceremony. Not surprisingly, there are as many tricks as there are to protect precious books.

Even if I know, it's too muggy. I'm disappointed that I can't get into it even though I can see it, and I can't even wipe away the blurring tears.

"I want to read..."

Did you finish your errand, an earlier female cleric came out with a bunch of paper-like material. She sat down on the floor and looked down at me crying in a way that leaned against the wall of transparency, and took a step backwards.

"... what are you doing?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... why, why can't I come in?

Asking questions as she slammed on the wall of Pessipesi and transparency, she looked back at the library and whined "Ah" a little.

"Because there are valuable books, only temple officials can use them."

A light of hope has plunged into her brain with a paw in her words. If it's only available to temple officials, you can be a temple official. God had not yet forsaken me.

Wipe my tears and nostrils all the time, and I will raise my hands viscidly.

"Question. How can I become a temple official?

"... Isn't the easiest thing to do is become a temple witch apprentice?

Apparently, in the case of women, they say witches, not clerics. Then she is a witch, not a female cleric, because she is an adult in front of her.

"Then I will be the Witch Apprentice of the Temple! How can I be?

"With the forgiveness of the chief priest or temple chief, you can be. Let's go to the chapel."

I shook my head sifting at the witch who tried to break the story.

"Where is the temple chief?

"I'm in your room now that I've finished what the temple chief does at the baptism ceremony... are you going now?

You can see she's donning, but you can't miss a valuable informant.

"Yes! I can't go home like this!

"... I'll ask the temple chief."

I don't know if you absorbed my will of immortality, judging from my costume and deciding to respond, but I sighed like I had no choice, and she took me to the temple chief's room.

I was apparently quite lost in the back, and the temple chief's room was just around the corner, waiting in front of a lavish door until I could get permission.

If you look around, it becomes decorated with ornaments and paintings that look expensive, and you realize that religious greats are still rich.

"Chief Temple, I have a Witch Apprentice hopeful..."

"Wanted?

An exchange between the temple chief and the female cleric was heard through the door, which remained slightly open. Tension, like a job interview, is regarded, and I correct my posture in the shadow of the door and quickly confirm my preference. One part of the clothes is a little crunchy with dry tears and runny nose.

"Yes, he looks like the kid who was at the baptist ceremony today"

"Hmm, shall we meet again?"

"Come in"

I wanted to enter the room smartly but the door was heavier than I expected and didn't move. I have no choice but to slip my body into the gap and enter the room while pressing all the weight on the heavy door all the way.

"Excuse me."

The temple chief's room was a very similar made room to Frieda's. There is a table and chair in the centre, relatively close to the door, in a reception space. In the corner of the room furthest from the door there is a heavy covered bed and in the other corner there is room to work.

There are two heavy desks and bookcases in the work space. Then there was a decorative shelf, about 30 cm of the statue of God and the scriptures and candles seen at the earlier baptismal ceremony, almost symmetrically decorated around the scriptures.

With the temple chief and the witch in the workspace, I will be as good as possible and walk towards it. I found the temple chief's gaze so painfully pricked.

Take a slow, deep breath and get in the mood. This is a job interview. It's up to this interview to decide whether or not you want to go into that library.

"What's your name?

"It's Mine. Temple Chief, please. I want to be a witch apprentice. Permission, please."

When I asked him to put his hands together in front of his chest, the temple chief gave him a slightly amusing grin and put the pen down.

"Okay, Mine. Can you tell me why you wanted to be a witch apprentice or something?

"Because there's a library here."

When I answered, the temple chief looked slightly at whether it was an unexpected answer.

"... library? Can you read the letters?

"Yes, although there are many words I don't know. If you read the book, you will know more words. So as long as my life goes on, I want to read through the books here."

The temple chief held his temples and sighed. I dropped my shoulder deliberately and shook my head.

"You seem to be making some mistake. The temple is a place to pray to God. Clerics and witches serve God."

"Exactly. I know. That thick scripture that the Temple Chief read to us at today's Baptist ceremony was written about the gods, wasn't it? For me, the Bible is God himself. I want to read through everything about God. I want to know everything about God."

"Are you a biblical fundamentalist?

The eyes of the head of the temple lit up. I'm not sure if I should affirm it or deny it.

Although I was a little worried, I don't even think the kids I baptized with knew those words. It's best to flush it out when you're not sure, without saying anything extra.

"This is the first word I hear, so I don't know what it means well, but I don't have a single cloud in my mind that I want to read the Scriptures, to know about God. Believe in my passion for the protection of the God of Fire. Does not my prayer and desire to become a witch apprentice and to know God by reading through all the books here go to the Temple Chief?

When he appealed to me to fold, the temple chief, a little pulled, looked at me from the top to the bottom, and nodded several times, Phew.

"I see your passion. If you wish, you do have to be a Temple Witch Apprentice"

"Is that true?

"But if a child from a family like you wishes to enter the temple, he or she will need a donation in response to that passion. Do you know how much you need to donate?

Costumes that seem to have money, so let's look at your feet and pluck them up. If you want to enter the temple, give me the money I deserve, I guess.

I know as much as there is no way that religion consists of all that is beautiful. If you give me money, I'll just give you money to the extent that I'm free.

Speaking of which, I've heard that I also need a number of small gold coins to buy a book. If they let me use the chain library, I can read about 10 of those thick books for sure.

I only know Japanese booksellers, but I think I can read books in the library for the price of a book. And if you think you can read the materials stuck in the bookcase all you want until you die, even if you think about the amount you leave behind for your family, you can give them up to one large piece of gold without worrying.

"I don't know the price of the donation... but to the best of my ability, I can offer up to one large gold coin"

"So, big gold coin!?

The temple chief raised his bare voice as he spurned. The witch also has her hands on her mouth and her eyes are round. Turns out I offered the two of them an amount that was apparently too expensive for their reaction.

"Is that it? Was it too expensive? But it's the highest price, so you can't give it any more, can you?

After the temple chief and the female clergyman looked at me with a serious eye, coughing with Gehungehun to fix it.

"Ahhh, I think it's really wonderful and delightful as a temple side that passionate bearers like you want to be witch apprentices, but the baptism would already mean the job, wouldn't it? Doesn't he belong somewhere?

Sure, if I had decided where to work, I wouldn't be a witch apprentice all of a sudden. But I don't work at home.

"Once in a commercial guild, I'm tentatively registered, but I haven't decided on a job. I was planning to work from home because I was weak."

"Home? A merchant's daughter? I can't be a witch apprentice if I belong somewhere. You can leave the commercial guild and become a witch apprentice, but what are your parents saying?

"I'll talk to my parents from now on..."

I cut off my words there once. I can't give an instant answer about a commercial guild. Subscription should have been mandatory to buy and sell things.

"How can you disengage a commercial guild? What happens to the money I've saved so far and the products I'm going to make first?

The temple chief gazed at me to blame myself for trying to put my thoughts together.

"The money you've saved so far? Products? Aren't you helping your parents with their work?

"No, sir."

It's a chance for self-appeal to enter the temple. As I remembered the precautions of the interview, I spoke of what I had worked so hard for and what I had gained there. In about a minute.

"... Hmm, if it's not a temporary registration for housework, you might want to negotiate with the Guild Manager so you can be an apprentice as you are, rather than leaving"

There seemed to be a perfect response, and the temple chief grinned as he was impressed.

Talking to each other upstairs would be very helpful as far as this one goes. I say thank you and leave the negotiations with the Alliance Commander to the Temple Commander.

"I'll talk to my parents first."

"Oh, come and talk to your parents right away when they disagree or have problems. If you want to read the book, come to this room. I can't go into the library, but I can make you read the scriptures that are here."

"Is it true!? Yay! Pray to God!

The moment I posed for Ba and G.O.K., I could see my body leaning about. Sooo much blood.

Shit. I was too excited.

There was no Lutz, so there was no one to stop my excitement and rampage.

They've exceeded their tolerances unconsciously. Strength falls out of my body at once. Instead, I felt a fever trying to ramble on my own in my body.

"... I did it"

Boops! I can't move after I fall. Let's just think my body doesn't move and it's just better if I'm conscious. I turn my consciousness to those who can gather and push in the heat of eating, which is not a great amount, while remaining in a fallen state.

"What!? What's up!?

I fell down in front of him and stopped moving, and he opened his eyes as the temple chief was stunned, and rose up with the momentum of kicking down the chair.

The witch looked at me falling apart with a flashing expression and groaned with a small voice.

"... Speaking of which, like I heard you fell at the baptism ceremony?

"What?

The temple chief lifts his eyes to the witch who said so to tilt his neck.

Unable to get up, I apologized to both of them.

"Sorry, I was too excited. Please wait while I can't move."
