Ascendance of a Bookworm

The morning of the baptismal ceremony was even more rushed in the aristocratic district, although it was also rushed in the lower town last year.

They beat me up early in the morning, they let me bathe in the water while I was sleepy, and they let me change into a baptismal costume immediately after breakfast in my everyday clothes so I wouldn't get dirty.

"Good morning, Mother"

When I went to the dining room after the hot bath, only one mother was having breakfast.

Instead of going to the temple and being baptized in the aristocratic district, a cleric is called in to perform a baptism ceremony at home, so the whole house becomes refreshed when performing a baptism ceremony. Normally, the people in the kitchen do it, but today it's a side job. The kitchen must be in the middle of a war right now, in line with the time you have guests.

"Rosemayne, Master Ferdinand has a gift for you, so you need to get dressed early."

"Yes, Mother"

I wondered if my mother had left after breakfast, and Brother Eckhardt came in. Sitting in the front of me eating as quickly as possible, Brother Eckhardt narrows his eyes gently.

"Morning, then, congratulations, Rosemaine"

"Thank you, Brother Eckhardt"

Brother Eckhardt waves the subject to me with his hands on the plate placed. I was just a little thrilled that I was going to eat in silence, so I'm horrified.

"The priest performing today's baptismal ceremony is Master Ferdinand? I'm looking forward to seeing Master Ferdinand perform his divinity for the first time."

"... for the first time, is it?

The Baptist ceremony of the nobility takes place by calling the priest home. They're all going to try to call a priest of a little higher rank. And noble baptism ceremonies are valuable income opportunities for priests because they receive gratuities.

But it seems that the chief cleric has never performed divinity in the aristocratic district before. I wonder why, it must have caught my eye that I was tilting my neck. Brother Eckhardt gently clasped his shoulders.

"The superior nobleman had a temple chief."

The houses where you and the clergyman hang out, such as lords and senior nobles, basically also have dealings with the temple chief, and it seems that it was the temple chief who was invited.

The chief cleric didn't have to be called by divinity, but he had a separate frame of income and a ton of work, so he seemed to have no problem at all, and the divinity seemed to have turned to other clerics.

"If Master Ferdinand is a cleric, the noble ladies who were here today might make a fuss"

The chief cleric always dressed like nobility when he came to the aristocratic district, so he told me that if I saw the cleric's ritual costume at today's baptism, I'm sure there would be a yellow scream.

... is screaming at clergy clothes for rituals like sometimes in uniforms? Though I do not think of anything because I am more familiar with clergy clothes.

On the verge of being a clergyman and his age, Brother Eckhardt, who had been knights with him for some time after he became a knight apprentice, seems to be quite familiar with the clergyman.

"Master Ferdinand was more admirable or worshiped than jealous or secluded, because whatever he made him do was perfect."

And what a coin he was giving his mother while he was in the House of Lords.... Chief Cleric Information is going to be a good source of income for me too.

"Because you're a witch apprentice who said Master Ferdinand would take refuge. I'll take care of you as my sister, too. So take care of Master Ferdinand, too, Rosemayne. I want one more of his allies."

"Okay."

Brother Eckhardt finished eating and left sooner than I finished breakfast. I was chatting and eating in a relaxed and graceful move, but fast.

Left behind by Brother Eckhardt, who came later, I finish eating like a haste to scratch.

"Good morning, Brother Cornelius"

On my way back to my room, I found Brother Cornelius heading to the dining room.

"Good morning, Rosemaine. Did they wake you up, too?

"I was woken up to serve, but I've already had my hot tub and breakfast"

I'm dressed, but Brother Cornelius still looks asleep awake. Pointing that out, Brother Cornelius laughed small.

"Then I have to finish my meal in a hurry, too. Oh, yeah. Happy day, Rosemaine."

"Thank you, brother"

When I get back to my room, I start dressing.

The two costumes were arranged side by side to side. Whichever you choose, you shouldn't have any problems because it's your mother's preference. In the costume, I chose the right side in some mood.

Follow the instructions of the side servants who do their work quickly: "Put your arms here" and "Put your right foot here" and you will be finished dressing immediately.

As she was carefully combed her hair in front of the mirror, the bell rang small across the door. It's your mother's bell.

"It's your mother. Let me through."

"Rosemaine, have you finished dressing? Mr. Calstead and Mr. Ferdinand are here."

"It's over, Mother"

When I replied, your mother left the room once. Then, speaking across the door, he returns to the room with his father in sunshine and a ceremonial costume, accompanied by a clergyman with a small wooden box.

Father, Chief Cleric, Mother advances from behind, but it's a little fun to have the sparkling eyes of a mother watching the Chief Cleric.

"Happy Baptism, Rosemaine. Oh, you look great."

"Thank you, Father"

When I gave thanks, your father smiled furiously, then took my hand and pulled out the magic appliance ring.

"Have this ring returned once. I'll give it to you later at the ceremony."

He gave me the ring with care to register the hidden room of the temple and when something happened with the blue cleric at the temple, but it was supposed to be something to give at the baptism ceremony.

After the baptism ceremony, the children become allowed to interact with the nobility and to celebrate with greetings. For this reason, besides the magic equipment that accumulates magic, the Baptist ceremony seems to give them a ring that releases the magic that accumulates in the magic equipment.

By the way, I only got magic equipment to release. Because if you always wear magic equipment that absorbs and builds up magic, you risk losing too much magic to move.

When your father took the ring and left the scene, the chief cleric came with a crate.

"Congratulations, Rosemaine. Take this for today's celebration."

"Well, what did you get? Rosemaine, open it."

Mother is more excited than I got. And I laid the crate on the table once, and gently opened the lid.

"Oh, lovely!

What was there was probably a glossy, gorgeous hair decoration made of the finest yarn. If you take it out gently and take a look at it, there are three large white waves of flowers with golden edges of the petals. Around it is surrounded by a small blue eye flower with a golden edge of petals, from which a small flower draped and swayed like a vine flower depicts a gradient from blue to white.

... I made this, Thuri and my mother.

In the flowers in the hair decorations are the new flowers that I taught Turi and my mother after conceding my skills to Corinna. Their involvement is also evident from the similarity in design with last year's hair decorations. Then it may be my father who sharpened and polished this bamboo.

As soon as my family's face floated behind my brain, the loneliness that I was pushing towards the corner of my head by immersing myself in busyness struck me all at once.

"... ah..."

Tears overflow and zero like a weir cut. My chest was full about the family I was trying not to think about, and I couldn't move with my hair decorations.

"Rosemaine?"

Open your eyes as your mother marveled, and look at me. Suddenly a side service surprised me with zero tears rushed me with a towel and gently pushed me against my face.

"Rosemaine, calm down."

Take the hair ornament out of my hand, and the chief priest commands it in a silent voice with no expression. If it can be stopped, I want to, but like a broken faucet, tears flow.

"... Mm, I can't. Don't stop..................................................."

Even though the clergyman's face is faceless as he glanced around his grated surroundings, there is a slight rush in his light golden eyes. A clergyman with a deep wrinkle carved between his eyebrows slapped his temples with a ton of fingertips.

"Calstead, get everyone out of the room! Don't nobody come in here until I give you permission!

"Ha!"

Get everyone together and out of the room where your father, under strict voice orders, seems instantly worried. Your father closed the door, making sure no one was left.

In the room left alone by the two of them, all of them left completely, and after making sure that the door was shut perfectly, the Chief Cleric wiped my face unconstructively with a towel. Still, he doesn't stop and exhales a sigh that seems like he can't help but cry zero without stopping.

"Chief Cleric, Gyu"

"Keep the towel away from your face. If I get my costume dirty, I'm going home."

Saying so in a resentful voice, the chief cleric sat in a chair and hugged me to hold me up and envelop me.

I am so horrified by the warmth of people. Your father, mother and brother will be nice to you, but compared to your previous life, you have extremely little contact here. He was hungry for reassuring skinship.

With a towel pressed against my face, I cling to the Chief Cleric.

"... I didn't expect this to happen on the morning of the baptism ceremony"

The blurry chief priest's voice echoed. My tears are finally stopping. I also point my lips. All I can think of is that I went for it to bring a pair of tweezers made by my favorite family on the morning of the baptism.

"Hmm. I was going to please you, but it seemed counterproductive. I'll never give you hair decorations again."

"Oh no! Wait. I'm delighted! I'm so happy. Keep giving."

"I'm sorry to be in this situation again."

That's what they say with a bitter look, and my tears overflow again, even though they were just unstable.

"I'm glad, I'm telling you... I'm telling you I want it from now on... the sheriff's mean evil.... uhh... uhh"

"It's a pain in the ass. That's a real pain in the ass, you are. What the hell do you want me to do?

For the words he has thrust away, the chief priest's voice is twilight on the way.

"Now please give it to me a few days in advance. It's true that I'm so happy. But I'm gonna miss you so much, I want a period of time to sort my mind out."

"... ok. Consider it and stop crying."

All I said was that I couldn't beat a crying child, and so said the chief clergyman tapped my head gently.

I had it gutted for a while, and it calmed me down, so I woke up the body that had been brought to the Cleric Chief and got off my knees.

"It looks like it's time to be fine. Thank you for your help."

"Totally."

As I retreat with the towel in my grip, the chief priest rises up with a grumpy face and heads towards the door.

"Get in."

In the words of the chief cleric, not your father and mother, but Brother Lamprecht and a few sidelines came in.

"Excuse me. Father and Mother went to pick up the guests, so I took their place..."

Brother Lamprecht, who came in saying so, as soon as he saw my face, whose eyes turned red, interrupted the words, causing him to pull his cheeks all the way.

"Rosemaine's eyes are bright red. Cool it right away. If your mother sees it, there 'll be a commotion."

As hazy as Brother Lamprecht's words were, his side service began to move in a flurry, and there he raised his eyebrows gently, as the Chief Cleric noticed for the first time that my eyes were turning red.

"No, I don't need it. Rosemaine, come. Heal me."

The magic stone on the left hand bracelet glowed over whether the chief clergyman had put magic into it. Cover my eyes with its left hand and whine small, "Heal Lungshmer".

As the gentle green light filled across the lid closed with the hand of the chief clergyman, a small whisper of "ooh" from the side servants reached his ear.

Soon the light goes out. Then the hand of the chief clergyman went away, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the face of brother Lamprecht, like a hoe.

"Before divinity, I didn't know you were going to be healed... I'm afraid, Master Ferdinand."

"That's about it, no big deal"

Apparently, the swelling in the eye area has been removed.

I touch my face with Petapetta, and look in the mirror and confirm. Looks fine.

"Dear Ferdinand, what the hell happened? It would be helpful if you could tell me for the future."

"... we're busy together today. I'll call you later. Rosemaine, you better get ready."

To Brother Lamprecht's question, the Chief Cleric leaves the room clouding his words.

There's no way the clergyman would answer that if I gave him a hair decoration made by his original family, he would have cried, gutted and comforted me. By the time they pursue it later, they must think of some excuse.

I guess the time is running out for the baptism ceremony to begin. When the chief clergyman opened the door, he heard an eventual hustle and bustle from afar.

When I straighten my hair with a hair conditioner like Pommerd's, it seems that my hair can also be tied properly with strings. Stickiness and hair conditioning were applied, and the upper half of the hair was intricately braided into the side serving. And ask the clergyman to insert the hair decorations he just got.

Then, Brother Lamprecht escorted him to the room closest to the stairs leading to the first floor. He said he'd wait until you called him here.

"Apparently, the Lords have arrived. I have to go say hello, too, so Rosemayne needs to wait here.... Can you wait alone? Do you want to get out or hide like Master Wilfried did?

Zilvester's son is apparently like a mini-zill. Brother Lamprecht, who accompanies him as an escort knight, seems to be in the same position as his father, who holds down the escaping and rampant Zilvester. I feel sorry for you by accident.

Brother Lamprecht said that, alone, but even if his brother left, he would not be left entirely alone. Side service is attached.

"Brother Lamprecht is usually very hard on you. I'm not going to do anything to annoy your brother any more, so please come."

After Brother Lamprecht left the room for a while, your father and mother came into the waiting room together. Looks like we're done picking up the guests.

And her mother came to me, and peered into her face, and narrowed her eyes softly.

"Lamprecht told me. She cried, swollen her eyes, and received healing from Master Ferdinand? Rosemaine, it's very important that we meet for the first time. Because the impression of that person will be determined in just a moment."

"Yes."

"It is disqualification of a lady to cry as her eyes swell at a baptismal ceremony that will be her first meeting with a large number of people. You always have to be able to show yourself the most beautiful."

Me and my parents will be waiting in this room until the Cleric Chief calls me. It seems the ritual begins when the clergyman, who is waiting in another room, leaves.

"Sort of!

"Khaaaaaa!

All of a sudden, even as the room was separated by the yellow screams of the woman. When I look at the door in amazement, I hear your father say, "It must be Ferdinand." Today is my christening ceremony, and it shouldn't be a fesh peel concert of a clergyman.

"... Now I may not be in anyone's eyes"

"Oh, Ferdinand the clergyman, this is your first time. I can't help it."

Those who cum at the unusual appearance were also among the few friends of the Reino era. Eat unusually in glasses and suits. Not if you're a man with glasses, clergyman? Or is it the one called uniform adoration? I don't know.

... Even considering the appearance, the chief clergyman is not how old a man is.

Pittari and yellow screams stopped. Afterwards, I can't hear what you're saying, but I can hear the clergyman's sounding low. They're finally starting.

The bell rang small with Lynn, and the side service waiting in front of the door opened the door giggly.

Your father and mother stood up, and I got out of the chair, too. Take the two steps backwards down the stairs to the hall on the ground floor.

The moment I stood in front of the stairs, I breathed without thinking of the number of people gathered in the hall on the first floor.

"Uh-huh."

Two hundred, no, maybe three hundred. The number of people who don't think they're gathering in their personal homes hisses and stares at this one. Even though I didn't like the fact that my gaze was painful or heavy, I could tell that I was paying attention to one foot at a time.

... are you walking in here?

It's like a church wedding alone. In the middle is the way for us to pass, and in the deepest is an altar made, and there is a line of divine objects that we are accustomed to seeing, whether they were brought out of the temple. Before that, the clergyman waits in cleric clothes for the ritual.

Just for a moment, my father, escorting my mother in front, looked at me worried. I nod small to reassure at all.

I made up my mind to leave my family to protect my life. And when the baptismal ceremony was successfully held, I made the promise to get the keys a cleric chief.

I must be the adopted daughter of my lord.

Freedom of entry to the library and access to valuable books must be obtained.

I can't let anything fail here.

He looks up all the time, smiles slapped by Rosina and her mother, and takes a step forward.

Stretch your spine, don't lean down. I don't look down. The gaze should be able to circle the whole thing and not stare at a single point. Walk in rhythm so that it flows gracefully, as it may be slow. Follow the beaten behavior and move on with your legs.

I saw Rosina among several musicians playing music close to the stairs. He looks at me worried as I play.

It's all right, I gave him a deeper smile to reassure him.

Moving forward on his feet, he saw Zilvester in the brightest costume close to the chief cleric. A woman who seems to be your wife and a boy as old as I am. That would be Wilfried.

I see three brothers on the other side across the aisle with Zilvester. Brother Cornelius is looking at this one with a face that looks like he's harassing. Though it's not in his expression, the other brothers must be probably harrassed.

Your father and mother stop in front of the altar. And he reached out to me. I took that hand and proceeded forward to the clergyman, who was a few steps high.

When I stand before the chief priest, your father and mother descend from the altar and descend to where your brothers are.

"Rosemaine, you turned seven today"

That's what the chief cleric says, but he comes out with a medal like he saw last year during the baptism ceremony. Sure, I remember pushing my blood sentence on that one. Another blood judgment?

When he saw the medal, the chief cleric glanced lightly at me, and said, "Show me your hands."

When I lay out my fearful hand, I am given a thin stick of about 20 cm with luxurious decorations, not a knife or a needle. It seemed to be a magic tool with a demon stone in it, and the moment I got it, I could see the magic sucking out of me.

The magic is sucked out a little forced and the stick glows.

That seemed necessary for the baptism ceremony, and applause arose from the invitees.

The chief priest offers the medal to me, forcing the flat part of his stick to be pressed against the medal as if to press the seal.

Whether the magic accumulated in the stick was sucked into the medal, the light of the stick subsided and instead the colour of the medal changed to seven colours. When the clergyman, who was watching the medal, mutters "still," he immediately puts the medal in a small box.

"Congratulations, Rosemaine. Now you are officially recognized as Calsted's daughter. [M] A new child was born in Aerenfest."

Your father comes up to the altar with a ring in his hand as applause and praise occur. And he put up a ring high with a blue demon stone on the stage, and showed it to everyone.

"As my daughter, I give a ring to Rosemaine, recognised by God and everyone"

Just like when the ring was removed earlier, your father took my left hand and put the ring on his middle finger. They change in size and settle down to the right size.

"To Rosemaine, bless the god of fire, Rydenshaft"

A blue light appeared at the edge of his sight with the voice of the chief cleric. And when I turned to you, the chief priest was shining a ring. Fluffy raised blue light pours down from my head.

"I'm afraid, Chief Cleric."

The clergyman tells me that if I am given a blessing, I will have to give the blessing back to the clergyman and to all of you who have come.

I will pour my magic into the ring that has just returned to my own hands.

"I also pray to the Cleric Chief and all those gathered to celebrate my baptismal ceremony to bless the Rydenshaft, God of Fire"

The blue light swells up from the ring and pours around the hall. It was similar to the light that poured down on the family as well.

... Phew, the baptismal ceremony is over.

After the ritual as taught, people gathered in the hall began to bother, unlike me, who relieved ho. Unlike applause and applause like the earlier planned harmony, it's like when something unexpected happens.

"Oh, my God, this much light?

"How much magic do you have in that little body?

Anxious about the stiffness around me, I turn my gaze to your father and the chief cleric.

... Huh? What? Could I have failed something?

As I inquired with my gaze, both the chief cleric and your father raised the edge of their lips slightly with Ni. It's a smile when you're up to something.

I stood behind me and whispered in a whisper as my father, with his hand on his shoulder, could only hear me.

"The original blessing can only be returned to the clergyman. It's a kind of foil to become Lord's adopted daughter."

Gilvester takes a step with a grin like the prank was a success, and slowly takes another step up to the stage. The blurring disappeared from the invitees who saw it, leaving it quiet and watching over the lord's trends.

"Congratulations, Rosemaine, Baptist ceremony. Now you are officially recognized as an Aerenfest."

After saying that to me on the altar, Zilvester turns his body toward the invitees. Bassari and cloak flickered, and at the same time a good Zilvester voice echoed loudly into the hall.

"than this, adopt me and Rosemaine in this setting"

Haven't the majority of invitees been notified that the adoption would take place, or the hall made a fuss like poking a hive.
