Ascendance of a Bookworm

"… n.... Mine. Here, are you listening?

I looked up to the Chief Cleric, shaken and hacked on my shoulders. The clergyman, looking down at me, fingers a ton and a tablet as he holds down his temples.

"Doesn't seem to be going at all?

"Oh, I'm sorry"

After apologizing, I resumed my calculations. When you move the cutlet and the stone brush and the calculation goes through a paragraph, you get a sigh of relief.

... Lutz, what do we do?

I think the best way to manage the current situation of Lutz, who has run away from home, is for Lutz and Lutz's family to be able to talk to each other firmly and communicate their thoughts to each other and reconcile. Rutz and Rutz's family are completely different because they are not telling each other what they want to say in the circumstances.

Is it because I am blessed with my family that I do not think there is any good as it is? Would it be better for Lutz to leave if it was hard to be with his family? It's hard there.

"Mine, my hands are stopped"

"Huh? Oh, this is over"

"Now take this..."

"Yes."

If we're just going to break the status quo, I think it's the shortest way to adopt Benno. You can punch into the job, and you get a strong back shield at work. There will be no worries in terms of life. I just can't adopt you without your parents' permission. And this time he made it clear that Benno wouldn't hand it out.

I also thought about setting up a place for discussion and calling Lutz's parents and Lutz and Benno to have a good talk, but I don't think everyone will get together where I said, "Let's all talk about it in a broken stomach".

And even if the discussion heats up too much for Benno or Lutz's father to start running wild, he can't put on a pack. No matter what I thought, I didn't see a better future at all.

"... really, I'm totally useless..."

"Exactly. You're right."

"Huh?"

When I looked up surprised that the reaction had returned to me in solitude, the chief priest looked down at me with a frightened eye, showing me in bed with his jaw all the time.

Mine, come here.

"Um, Chief Cleric. Are you sure you want to work?

"Computer maintenance is first. Come."

"... Yes"

As I complained in my heart that the calculator was not too terrible a rhetoric, I followed the chief cleric and went into the room.

As always, in a room with messes and things, I lean over the edge of my bench to secure a place to sit.

And the sheikh brought his chair, and sat with Dosun in exasperation, and stared at me. The clergyman gets a little more emotional when he comes here, so his eyes are about twice as sharp as they were earlier.

"What the hell are you thinking? You seem to be throwing up all the stinking sighs from earlier."

"... it has nothing to do with the Chief Cleric. Excuse me. I'll try harder."

I'm worried about Lutz and I can't get the job, I don't know what to say, your sermon is going to be prolonged. When I showed him where I was reflecting and tried to finish the sermon briefly, the chief cleric looked at me abominably, with a cheek wand on the elbow of the chair.

"Absolutely nothing more irrelevant than being late for duty"

You are absolutely right.

I turn away from my thinly narrowed golden eyes softly. They say I have no idea. I'd rather not talk.

As I stood in my mouth, the clergyman, who sighed gently, rose up and stumbled upon my cheek, wondering if he had stood before me.

"Say it clarity. If a child were to grumble, he would be concerned and not make progress with his clerkship."

I wasn't sure from the way I handled the calculator, but apparently I was worried. I stare up at the revolving and elusive clergyman.

Speaking of which, the Chief Cleric was also an educated man as a nobleman. I heard that the coup d 'état's solemnity reduced the nobility and that the nobility of the temple moved a lot in marriage and adoption, but is the chief cleric familiar with adoption?

"Does the chief cleric know how to adopt without parental permission?

To my question, the clergyman raised one brow lightly, as surprised.

"What? Did you even make up your mind to leave that family?

"It's not about me!

I accidentally forgot my salutations and everything to the chief priest's surprise speech, but the chief priest just groaned softly, "I guess," and it was done. Sit back in the chair, elbow each on the hiccups, and put your fingers together in front of your stomach.

"... So who are you talking about? Depending on the circumstances, there's no way at all"

"Do you have one!?

When I stood up unexpectedly, the Chief Cleric nodded, waving gently to show me to sit back down.

"There are some more ways out than I have power. Let me identify who uses power."

"I'm adopting Lutz and Mr. Benno."

I saw a slight light in Lutz's current improvement. I look at the Chief Cleric with anticipation as I sit back.

"They're both important to you, aren't they? … speak in detail."

Speaking lightly to the Chief Cleric, he was asked one question after another and was to explain the situation in considerable detail while he was answering the question.

Apparently he asked the question to his satisfaction, the clergyman slowly opened his eyes after closing them gently so as to organize the information once.

"Hmm. Lutz was opposed to becoming a merchant apprentice and now he's opposed to leaving the city for work again, dissatisfied with the treatment at home, and ran away from home. Benno wants to adopt promising Lutz in the future, but his parents are also against this. Mine wants to do something about Lutz's living environment is his best hope, and his best is reconciliation with his family. I believe the fastest way to do this is to adopt with Benno. Is there a problem so far?

"No, sir."

I wonder if the Chief Cleric actually has a tremendous memory of not taking notes and being able to remember and summarize the information thoroughly. As I admire in strange places, the Chief Cleric goes on.

"Leave me alone if you're going to work about Rutz who ran away from home, my father says? You didn't say a word about getting out or not coming home?

"… maybe. I just listened to Thuri, too, so I don't know for sure."

Yes, the most painful thing about explaining to the Cleric Chief this time is that Lutz's parents are all over again asking and have no idea. I talked to Lutz, and I heard Benno's opinion. But all I've heard about Lutz's parents is from Lutz and Ralph and Touri, and I've never heard of them myself.

"... a little weak in the circumstances, but if we treat him as a child abandoned by his parents and protected by an orphanage, adoption will be possible with Benno, whom the director of the orphanage offered to pick up the orphan by signing on behalf of his parents"

"Yeah!? Aren't I the director of the orphanage! Then get Lutz to the orphanage ASAP..."

Wow, me! Glad I did the director of the orphanage!

When his mind rose and stood gutted, the chief cleric waved to sit back again.

"Wait. Mine, you listen to the end of the story. Isn't that why you have so many failures to make it quick or not to ask?

……

Pointed out with utmost calmness, I sit back without any gu noise. I wonder what. I feel like the Chief Cleric is slowly grasping my character.

"Though you hold the position of director of the orphanage, you are a minor. Your signature isn't enough to make an adoption."

"... So what if someone really wants to pick up the orphan?

I can't believe you're the director of the orphanage, but even your autograph is useless...

He also calmly decided in one corner of his head that there was no way a child his age could be held accountable like that for dropping his shoulders with sogginess but nothing he could do without his parents.

"You're gonna need my signature, my boss, more than you can do."

"Chief Cleric, please. Please sign Rutz's adoption."

When I asked the clergyman, the clergyman exhaled slowly.

"It's not like I don't sign. But what you say now is all spoken of from the point of view of Lutz, the child. You can't just tell a child that they've been dumped by their parents. I want to listen to his parents to protect him in an orphanage as a child abandoned by his parents"

"Huh? Um, how?

I don't know what to do, even if they say I want to hear it briefly. The chief clergyman looked at me tilting his neck with strange eyes.

"What do you mean? If you want to talk, you can summon them, right? What are you talking about?

"… we have seen the power of something called power"

If you want to listen to me, you can call them. That was the common sense of the temple. I drop my shoulders, remembering that my own parents were called upon to accept the invitation. What the hell was I that worried that I could not set up a place for discussion?

"Learn more about everything before I'm present and, if you're convinced, help me adopt with Benno"

"Thank you, I know."

I looked up in a clear mood.

Rarely did the chief cleric laugh. But that smile isn't refreshing or anything, it's a niggling smile like when you come up with something a little bad.

"To that end, you must encourage your stewardship in the afternoon. I'll keep the library."

"... ha hi?

As I was bewildered, the chief clergyman narrowed his eyes even more delightfully.

"I asked Fran. It works better for you than a reflection room."

"Ooh!?

... Fran's Stupid Idiot!

Encouraging me to perform my duties from this afternoon when I weep, the Chief Cleric gave me an invitation as promised. It's for Lutz's parents, Benno and Lutz.

"Give me this."

I received with a full grin an important wooden plaque for Lutz's current situation to improve at all.

Lutz no longer picks me up, so I go home with Fran. Because if you go with Gil to give him the invitation he kept from the clergyman, he'll only look like a child's use. If there was an adult Fran, Lutz's parents would receive it properly, too.

"Now let's give it to Master Benno and Rutz"

Encouraged by Fran, I stopped by the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce. Ask Marc to get you through to the back room and get Lutz to call you too.

"Benno. Praise, praise. Look, this!

I rushed to Benno with my bouncing footsteps and offered him a wooden plaque. Receiving a wooden plaque with an astonishing face, Benno turns his complexion and lightning down as soon as he glances through.

"... that it's an invitation from the clergyman!? You, now what have you done!?

"Um, you know, I talked to the clergyman about Rutz's runaway and the way out of adoption, and this is what happened?

I was in the mood to accomplish something very useful this time, so suddenly I blink and tilt my neck at being thundered.

"What are you doing!?

"Huh? Huh? What didn't you want?

"Don't bring your nobles into this kind of problem! I don't know how it's gonna end!

Benno gets furious, but I don't know why. The chief cleric is certainly a nobleman, but if you talk to him, he'll understand, and he's roundabout and hard to understand, but he just worried about me.

"'Cause the chief cleric said it was for computer maintenance, so I had no choice... and I wanted to do something for Lutz"

"Mine, I'm glad to hear that. Because if I get an invitation like this, I'm usually scared."

Look at the invitation Lutz was handed to me and I can be dismayed. Benno held his head with the same drops.

"If you move for Lutz, it's an invitation from the clergyman...... ha"

"Because this time Mr. Benno said he couldn't get his hands on it, so he just talked to an adult close to me"

Pointing his lips softly, Benno glanced at me with a fierce light in his reddish-brown eyes.

"Right. Had I exercised all my power, threatened Lutz's family, and forced him to adopt, wouldn't this have happened..."

"Hey, what are you saying that scares me!?

"... Mine, my husband can do that if he really wants to. Our family bothered the store, and you don't have to figure out which one of our parents or husband is stronger, do you?

I was hacked by Rutz's words. Though I am the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce that is easily in and out, Touri said we would be nervous just to head north, and initially we should have felt a clear difference from our own living areas.

Aunt Carla's direct judgment that she wanted Lutz back would have been an act of considerable courage, and if Lutz's family, who annoyed the store, had received no punishment whatsoever, it would have meant that Benno generously allowed it.

"When I'm trying to make it easier for Lutz..."

"Even the chief clergyman is at ease! He gave me a good idea of how to adopt him."

"What?"

"Seriously!?

Benno and Lutz turned this way all together. I nod and explain to the two of you the way the chief cleric was saying.

"If Lutz came to the orphanage for protection because his parents abandoned him, and Benno decided to take Lutz, who is an orphan, he said the orphanage and Benno's signature would establish the adoption..."

"Are you the orphan director?"

He looked at me as Benno niggered. Bad as it may be expected, but my signature doesn't make sense.

"Because I'm a child, the chief cleric will sign it. So, Lutz's parents also told him that they would make a decision after hearing the circumstances. It's an invitation."

Benno looks at the wooden plaque that remained in his hand and slowly strokes his jaw with an eyebrow.

"You, much less liked by the Chief Cleric? Normally, nobles don't get involved with us, do they?

"It seems to be an important calculator. They say I'm not as efficient at what I do."

"Speaking of which, Otto said that, too. Maybe I should thank Mine this time, but I don't want to. I don't know, this sense of labor..."

Ha, and Benno sighed and scratched Gashi's head like he was tired.

"You can give it to Lutz's parents."

"Yes."

"Sorry, Mine."

"Yeah, fine. I was supposed to go report it to Aunt Carla anyway. It's just that Lutz came to the orphanage claiming he was dumped by his parents, so come to the orphanage tomorrow."

Come properly, wave to Lutz and leave the store, and I will arrive with Fran on my way home.

I was going to head over to Lutz's house, and I saw Aunt Carla wandering around in the square of the well.

"Aunt Carla!

When I spoke, my aunt rushed over here with her face up as if she had been played. The rounded face is twisted and thinner, and the eyes look slightly indented.

"Mine, you were late. Have you seen Lutz? How'd it go?

"I was serious about your job. She seemed fine."

"Right."

My aunt Carla, exhaling in a ho and a relief, told me so painfully how she feels about leading Lutz. It may be natural not to respond to adoption easily.

"Aunt, this is an invitation from the priest of the temple."

I take out the wooden plaque and offer it to Aunt Carla. My aunt opened her eyes wide to say she couldn't believe it, turned her complexion bright blue, and looked at the wooden plaque.

"... from the Temple of what?

"Lutz, I asked the orphanage for protection. My parents dumped me."

"That's the kid who left on his own!?

My aunt screamed like a little, but screaming at it here doesn't make the invitation go away. The invitation from the chief priest, a nobleman, is absolute.

"So he wants to hear from his parents to decide if the clergyman will really protect Lutz in an orphanage... Uncle and aunt, come with me. It's three days from now, because it will be convenient for you to leave work. He wants you to come to the temple by three bells in three days."

I tell my aunt I can't read the letter of invitation. Grasping the wood plaque as it was offered, my aunt looked back at me.

"... three bells in three days, right?

"Yes, if you show this wooden plaque to the gatekeeper, he'll show you around"

And I softly proclaimed the day of the assembly three days later.

I go to the temple early, get dressed in blue, and head to the clergyman's room. Lutz, who was staying in my side room, is also with me in apprenticeship clothes. I stayed in the side service room on the ground floor because the clergyman said that showing Lutz leaving with an adoption might give the other orphans useless hope.

"Wow, don't be nervous."

"... it's too grand for a family meeting."

When me and Lutz arrived in the Cleric Chief's room, it seemed after Benno and Marc had been contacted that they had arrived, and immediately two people came to the Cleric Chief's room, guided by a gray cleric.

By the time Benno had finished his sloppy, long greeting for the nobility, Lutz's parents had arrived.

As I heard he works in architectural relations, Rutz's father's body isn't that big, but it's disappointing. It used to burn in the day and was the look of a worker sweating and working outside. A good representation of his stubborn personality is the wrinkles carved between his eyebrows and the gnarly jade eyes, which look a little old because of his blonde hair, which feels close to white.

Lutz's father looked at Lutz for a moment and gave a brief greeting to the chief cleric after a snort with Hun. When she arrives at the recommended seat, Aunt Carla looks at Benno and Marc, who are already in the front seat, and starts to freak out.

Mr. Marc, seriously, what did you do? What did you say? After you already threatened me, right?

Where they were all aligned in the Cleric Chief's room, three bells rang high.
