Ascendance of a Bookworm

After calculating the profits of the concert, the net profits were 12 large gold coins, 8 small gold coins and 6 large silver coins. Except for the various costs, Chief Cleric, seriously all-purpose that the remaining net profit exceeds 10 large gold coins.

It is my sincere regret that I was banned from selling illustrations. I will pay some of the profits, so let me sell the painting, I asked, but they said, "I have no trouble with the money, so I reject it resolutely".

In addition to the budget distributed to blue clerics in the temple, the chief clergyman also has money like your salary every time you help the lords work or help the Knights work, in addition to the inheritance left by his parents, he earns money every time he sells his own magic equipment or develops a new one, so for the chief clergyman, some of the profits from selling illustrations, etc. (although he did).

... such a dialogue, I'd like to say it for once. Kuh, you rich bastard!

"More than that, the end of summer is nearing. Did you remember the mitzvah prayer complaint? As soon as we're in the fall, we'll have a baptism ceremony."

"I remember. It wasn't that hard because it was very much the same as it was during the star knot ritual"

My task as head of the temple is to bless in divinity and to devote my magic.

Originally, there are a lot of jobs, like approving work being done by other blue clerics, dealing with nobles who come looking to dedicate flowers, negotiating with the Blue Cleric's parents to get donations, but mostly the Cleric Chief is replacing me.

As much as a blessing will have to be done properly.

"The christening of the nobles takes place in their respective halls, as you did in the hall of Calstead. Some aristocrats have nominated you to bless the new temple chief, but at our discretion, I said no. You just have to leave more and more work to the other blue clerics that you seem to be able to do. You do what you have to do."

"Okay."

It was the word of the chief cleric that once a nobleman's baptismal ceremony was held, he would receive money like a bounce, but not proportionate given the connection between nobles and the time taken for the baptismal ceremony.

He said he wanted money. Give the blue cleric a job. I am also full of hands in the workshop relationship, so there is no difference.

"Then, if you don't already have one, order hair decorations that incorporate precious colors for your fall baptism ceremony. Me and Richarda keep the budget about you from Zilvester. Like speaking up before paying."

"Yes!"

To the word of the chief priest I raised my bounced voice. Ordering hair decorations means you can have an excuse to meet with Touri.

I asked Lutz, who was in the workshop, to jump into the den.

"Lutz, Lutz. Today, tomorrow or the day after, call Touri."

Oops! And when I tried to jump on Lutz, I reached out and said, "Wait!" and can be stopped on the brink.

"Don't jump! You're gonna get ink on your expensive clothes!

"Heh heh!?

When I pulled back in haste and looked at Lutz, I saw the ink attached here and there. You're supposed to be dressed the same way today when you go to the woods. Rutz asks, wiping his hands with a pair of clothes trousers.

"It's good to call Touri, but what's wrong all of a sudden?

"I'm going to order a new one. He said he had something that captured your color for the Autumn Baptism. The clergyman told me I could order it. Ugh. I can see Touri."

In my words, "An order of merchandise?... I don't know if I can do it yet," Lutz said zero. Originally, it seems that Thuri has not yet finished his education so that he can put it out in front of the nobility. Even if the first greeting is remembered because it is stereotypical, it soon wears off.

"... If your husband is with you, he might be fine, and I'll ask him for it once"

"Please tell Mr. Benno that Tulli is definitely good"

Lutz laughed and gave me the undertaking. And then cloud your expression a little.

"You know, Faye's sister is baptized in the fall. I don't think we remember each other very clearly because we didn't really hang out with Mine, but you should do enough to change your hair. I hate to be asked strange questions."

"... ok"

I didn't hang out with my neighbor much, and Mine's funeral itself is already over, and there's a distance up and down the altar, so I don't think he'll find out, but if he does, your neighbor might be "hidden in evidence" by the chief cleric. I don't want to think about such horrible things, so I'll need to defend myself.

"I'm glad Brother Zasha's bar mitzvah is spring. Even in the distance, my brothers will know just fine..."

Apparently Zasha, Rutz's uppermost brother, became an adult at a spring mitzvah held in the absence of the temple chief when I was educated in the aristocratic district.

Exactly, I would have found out if the nobles had told me that he had been murdered, that there were no bodies at the funeral and that there would soon be an adoptive daughter of a lord who looked exactly the same as the head of the temple.

"Zeke's the next adult, isn't he? When?"

"Two more years ahead, so I think if you're a little more grown up by then, you'll be fine. If Mine was alive, it could have been like this, so I guess I'll delude you?... Grow, do you?

"It's growing a bit. disrespectful!"

I promised to have Touri called, and I gave him the paperwork for the accounting report, and I took out the calligraphy board, and I dropped my gaze. Looking at the items to be discussed with Lutz, I mark the ones I'm done talking to.

"Hey, Lutz. Should I prepare the orphanage early this winter? I have to go to the Harvest Festival this year."

"... if I was to make glue, it wouldn't work because it stinks, but if I'm not going to make glue, why not after the harvest festival? You can ask your husband to join you with the store's winter support..."

Honestly, I want glue. However, if possible, I can be relieved that there are many people who can mentor it better to have it with the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce winter support. Last year, our family and Rutz's family helped us out, but we can't even rely on them every year.

"I'll ask Mr. Benno for the winter support here at the orphanage. Even the orphanage in Hasse town needs winter support, but what's going on over there? Since there were few private houses nearby, wouldn't it be okay to make glue?

"They've finished carrying the household goods coarsely. The food, the firewood, the materials used to make the paper, that's what they're bringing in, and the Ingo couple at the woodworking workshop are staying at the orphanage and working. We should be talking about taking gray clerics and witches and laying the foundation for our lives."

The gray clerics and gray witches who make it to the town of Hasse are also elected here, with education in cooking and workshop management.

"Our father had a voice, too, and we were going to Hasse town. It's not enough to use the exclusive and Hasse town craftsmen, and it's like my husband keeps calling out to gather people where he works in woodworking and architecture"

They're in a pretty hurry to set up a prayer room because it took them a while to get the initial cost. Though a month of promises has passed, the current situation is that other recipes are being flaunted, the cook's contract extended, and he's buying time.

"Well, let me know when you have a day to move the Grey Clerics."

Because of this, why don't we unveil the Lesser Bus and put the Grey Clerics on board?

I asked the chief cleric, and he said, "I can't allow it because the passengers are pathetic". My driving has been pretty steady, too, but terrible.

Two days after that, Touri came with Benno and Lutz. Greetings will be made by Benno on behalf of the delegates, who will join Gilberta Chamber of Commerce and Gil and Dermuel in the hidden room just now.

Once inside the room, Benno looked at Tulli with a tough, educator-like eye.

"Touri, there's no one in this room to blame for a slight breakdown in attitude, but I won't allow that to happen. Think of it as an acceptable place to practice if you fail a little now, and learn to deal with nobility."

"Yes."

Touri nodded with a serious face. Although his attitude and language have been much revamped in one season, he has not yet been able to deal with the aristocracy as an artisan. Even Lutz has yet to pass, so he cannot come to the aristocratic city.

"Rosemayne, if you still want to put your order for Thuri in the future, help educate Thuri. I'm not ready to go out there yet."

"Okay."

I nodded loudly, pinching the table and facing the Touri and the others. Thuri takes some of the flower decorations he's making out of the wooden box and arranges them on the table.

I reached out and stopped the motion.

"Don't rush. Take your time, but relax. … I will show you an example, so take a good look at the handling of what you have learned from your senior nobleman's wife."

Between the Baptist ceremony I show Thuri the tricks of the senior aristocrats knocked in by my mother. He carefully opened the lid, removing the contents with both hands and removing the cloth, remembering that the movement had been skipped to his fingertips in detail.

"... in doing so, you're really a senior aristocratic lady"

Lutz groans so much as a potpourri. Benno also made a voice that impressed him.

"It's something we've often been able to get that far in a short period of time. Teachers may have been good, but they don't improve this far without their own efforts. I know you're realizing this, but it's hard to correct the movement you're wearing."

"The clergyman gave me the library key as a reward, so I was desperate"

And when I laughed and answered, they laughed little by little.

Touri imitates my movements and takes out the flower ornaments as carefully as possible. Colorful flowers lined the table.

"If it's a liturgical pigeon, the flowers should be big and gorgeous. What about these flowers?

Tulli repeats the words Benno says. I guess there are few opportunities to be clear and taught like this. It's not just Touri, Lutz, Gil, he's got serious eyes.

"The size of the flowers is good, but I want flowers that are moving on the petals as I received them during this time."

"It's an honor to have you around. Autumn precious colors are yellow, but how many other colors should I include?

I leaned my neck slightly when asked what else to do with the decorations, although it was decided to turn the flower core dark yellow and the petals light yellow.

"Right....... It is an autumn violin, so it could be adorable even with nutty decorations. Take in the decorations that make you feel the fruit of autumn."

"… is autumn fruitful? Yes, I did. I'll think about it."

I use the calligraphy board that Thuri used me to use. It's still an awkward word, a hard word to read except in person, but it's definitely making progress.

"Where I have loaded my money, it's hard to get a teacher who teaches me how noble people behave. Today's education was a difficult experience for them above all else. They will all be able to grow big again. My sincere thanks to Lady Rosemaine."

Even though he's in the hidden room, Benno gives him a proper thank you. Lutz and Touri followed suit with a visual imitation.

It was a summer mitzvah day as I was making the body of a picture book about the God of Fire and his family, part III of the picture book.

Doing it at an mitzvah is not so different from a star knot ritual. If you are called, all you have to do is go into the prayer room and talk about Lyden Shaft, God of Fire, God of Summer, and pray to God and bless him. If you only remember the prayer phrase, you can.

I was dressed in ceremonial costumes, decorated with precious colors of summer, and I headed to the prayer room. Walk a little frustrated by the clothes that seem to step on the hem and stand in front of the door.

"Temple Chief, come in."

With the voice of the chief cleric, the door was opened. A blue cleric lined up in front of the altar waves the stick in his hand, sounding like a lot of bells rang through the prayer room.

In it I go slowly on my feet with a large and heavy scripture.

Blue clerics on the right hand side and new adults lined up sloppily on the left.

A magic device is used to suppress the voice, so I can barely hear it, but still say, "Is that the tiny temple chief of the rumors?" "Are you okay? Aren't you going to be crushed by a book?" A voice like that reaches my ear a little.

At the altar I gave the scripture to the chief cleric, and I lifted up my hem gently, and went up the stairs.

What new adults wear is sunny clothing that can also be worn during marriage. For this reason, the precious colors of this season are all brought together, so the inside of the prayer room is blue.

Just like the ritual of star knot, the chief cleric began to tell the myth with a good voice. But the majority hasn't heard.

In the ritual of the star knot, the intention of the two of us to move on to a new life was felt somewhat. Even during my baptismal ceremony, I listened seriously because of my first temple entry, when I didn't know the mythology around me.

Few new adults, however, who have gone through a baptismal ceremony once and have been rubbed in society as apprentices, are forward-looking in an attitude that just says, "Finish quickly".

I got a little cocky about the attitude of the new adult because I was able to use my magic to give God blessings or because I found out that magic supports my life. I think I'm going to apprentice some more rural prayer ceremonies. Even I am here to bless you while you are busy.

"Then let us pray to God. Pray to God!

Having said that, it seemed at a glance that there were a small number of people who were properly dedicated and others who did not like it. Maybe we should do something about this lack of faith. Even though it's a temple that doesn't seem to be of much use to people in the lower town, I feel that the temple chief has become a young child like me and is being treated even more.

The clergyman told the new adult to kneel on the spot, "Then I will bless them with more gods than this".

I can put a little magic in the ring.

"O Ryden Shaft, God of Fire, hear my prayers, and bless the birth of a new adult, and offer you their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude, and their holy protection."

The blue light goes up, but compared to the time of the star knot, it was a pretty soggy blessing. Perhaps he was asking about the star knot ritual. The new adults are distorting their faces and puffing their mouths.

"... that's a lot different than when you were a star knot ritual"

I looked around at the new adults in the prayer room, after I had made myself look up at my blessings and said,

"Your prayers didn't seem to reach Lyden Shaft very well, did you pray seriously?

The inside of the temple crouched with a small voice. The worship room is full of blemishes that you can tell even when you are using magic equipment that suppresses your voice.

I said harshly to them, dismayed that they had not received the blessing.

"Pray to God seriously. Keep trying. Pledge to continue to grow and hope for its protection. Blessings will not be given to those who do not pray."

I can see the Chief Cleric staring at this one, but dare to ignore it, and I will make them pray again.

"Pray to God!

Now the majority of them look serious and pray to God. I'm a little satisfied with that, and now I'm going to put magic into the ring.

"O Ryden Shaft, God of Fire, hear my prayers, and bless the birth of a new adult, and offer you their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude, and their holy protection."

Now the more visible and discerning the difference, the more the blue light swirled, and went up over the prayer room, like a powder of light, and poured over them.

The appearance and attitude of the new adult, who had been sloppy, changed at once. You look as uplifted and motivated as you were excited.

"Remember to work hard every once in a while, as you swore to God"

When the new adult left, he still found his family in line at the door. Just wave small, face to face, but precious time.

Kamil held by her mother is getting so big. I also have to think about new toys, I wrote to my heart.

"Rosemaine, what the hell are you thinking about doing something like that?

When all the new adults exited and the door was closed, the chief cleric looked scared and peered into me.

"It's a little 'demonstration' to plant faith hearts. Because if you can't change the way the residents of Lower Town see the temple one by one, there will be obstacles ahead."

One of these days I plan to open a temple classroom or build a school in order to increase the literacy rate, but it seems that I have nothing but distrust in the temple, so I am in trouble.

"... at least talk to me before you do"

"I'll do it right."

As soon as the summer mitzvah is over, it will be autumn. At the beginning of autumn there will be a baptism ceremony.

Benno and Lutz were supposed to bring Thuri hair decorations for the fall baptismal ceremony, but my God, my mother was with me this time.

"Huh!?

Seeing me holding my mouth and circling my eyes, Touri and Lutz grinned like the prank had succeeded.

"I'm always a craftsman who makes pigeons with me. I took him today to say hello."

That's what Benno says, introduces my mother to me as a craftsman of the scythe.

"I have always been a regular user of your pigeons. Do you mind if I show you a new one in that room?

So I went into the den. The moment the door closes, I stare at Lutz.

"I didn't ask, Lutz! I thought you were too surprised to die!

"Suddenly Uncle Gunter asked me to suddenly this morning because he was off and I could keep Kamil. If you don't want to, I won't bring you here anymore."

"I'm sorry. I was just surprised, I was happy, so I want you to bring me in when it's convenient"

I can say crushed things with Lutz, but I don't know how far my family and I are allowed lines in contract magic.

Does my mother feel the same way? She opens her mouth and closes it, looking for words.

"... he looks fine and relieved"

My mother followed Lutz and Benno by saying she couldn't because Faye's sister is baptized at the fall baptism ceremony, so the family can't get to the door. Exactly. Though silent, if I was interacting with my family, I'd totally find out. Unfortunately, I have no choice.

"Tulli, give Lady Rosemayne a bowl."

"Yes."

Tulli nodded small and took out the cuckoo with a polite trick. I guess I practiced what I taught you before over and over again. The movement is much smoother.

"This is the new one."

The tree leaves, which were oranged with light yellow large circles of flowers, and the reddish-colored nuts, were adorably decorated.

"May I put it on you?

When I turned my back slightly to my mother, she inserted a twitch with a slightly trembling hand. My hand moves to stroke my head just a little bit.

As I was about to cry, I asked beneath my back.

"Does it look good on you?

"Yeah, very much. … looks great"

My mother's voice sounds like a tear, and I turn around and look up at my mother. There were tears in my laughing mother's eyes.

I challenged the Autumn Baptist Ceremony by inserting the bamboo that my mother and Touri had made.

It seemed rumored in town that if you didn't pray seriously at the summer mitzvah, you wouldn't get blessings, and little children not too different from me were praying with serious faces.

I bless you, thinking that you will increase your faith at this rate.

My tension remained a little low, as I would not face my family, and the Autumn Baptism ceremony was over.
