Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ruel's collection of fruit failed, and the next day he fell asleep and took care of the medicine, but the harvest festival itself ended with no particular problems.

Back at the temple, I see Gil's face greeted, and I exhale in a ho.

"Welcome back, Master Rosemaine"

"I'm back now, Gil. Haven't you ever changed while you were away?

"I have a few things to tell you"

Fran slipped into Gill's words.

"Okay, Gil. Take Master Rosemayne to the orphan director's office and talk to him there."

I just got back from the harvest festival and the orphan dean's office would be more calm than the room where the baggage is being carried one after the other, Fran recommends.

When I was told far away that cleaning up would be better without me, I headed with Gil to the room of the orphan dean, which was carefully cleaned and tidy.

"Go ahead, Master Rosemayne"

Listen to Gil for the period he was absent while drinking the tea Gil let me in the orphan dean's office. Gill's technology for making tea also seemed to be advancing, inferior to Fran's but considerably better.

After reporting on availability, such as the number of paper being raised, the number of picture books, and the number of inks needed, there was talk of trombes.

"The other day, when I went to the woods to make paper, a little tree came out and we all mowed it. It was getting pretty big, and the soldiers were mobilized."

"Was no one hurt?

"Yes. Well done, the soldier praised me. He says he doesn't need a young, thin branch, so he takes it home and it's already black-skinned"

Let Lutz negotiate with the soldiers and get all the young trombes to come. Well done.

"Later, an artisan named Ingo came to the workshop to discuss it with Lutz and gray clerics. I think Lutz will report for more information."

"Yes, I look forward to it."

Makes it fun to just think about improving your printing press. How will it change?

"What about Hasse's children? Are you familiar? Is it okay if I go check on him?

"... Do you want to go to the orphanage if you care?

"Yeah, there's something I'd like to ask Vilma and ask her to do, so let's go"

Take the escort knight, too, and I will travel to the orphanage. Vilma was surprised at the unexpected visit she had not touched, but she laughed couscous when she talked about her side service being very busy cleaning up after the harvest festival.

"Lady Rosemaine has very little side service, so it's very difficult."

"... maybe less? Most blue clerics say they can serve five or so sides."

I also remember there were about six former temple chiefs. About six people, because I was wondering which side to put Delia in, but I thought my side of the service was about average.

"If you are a normal blue cleric, that would be enough, but since Master Rosemaine works alot with the Temple Director, the Orphan Director, and the Workshop Director, wouldn't you need about three sidekicks each?"

The work of the workshop manager is Gill, the work of the orphanage is Vilma, Fran, Monica and Nicola for the work of the temple chief. Given that Nicola often turns to a cooking assistant, it does seem like a heavy burden for each and every one of them.

"I will talk to the clergyman or Fran and increase the number of people if necessary. More than that, how was the duration of this year's harvest festival? Have you had enough food?

"Yes, Master Rosemayne has prepared me so I can spend no problems"

Even if the cook is paying for it, there are already many gray witches who can cook. Only the ingredients were well prepared, so we seemed to be able to spend some time during the harvest festival without any problems.

"What are the Hasse children like? Have you tamed it yet?

"At first I seemed confused by the discretionary difference and didn't know what to do, but while the witches and clerics I was with in Hasse advised or helped, I think I found out that everyone else was different from me"

They weren't sure how they were different from themselves because they were just kids growing up without getting out of the temple, but they saw Johann and Zach going in and out as Lutz, Leon and craftsmen growing up differently in the workshop, making them more acceptable than before.

"How is the winter support in the orphanage?

"I've already started boiling jams, drying mushrooms and where I can. More firewood has been picked up in the woods this year than last year, and the amount bought through the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce has already been brought in"

Pork processing day is still ahead of us, but we will be doing it this year with the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, and we have been through it last year, so it doesn't seem to be a problem if I leave it to you.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. It's about the winter schedule..."

"Did something go wrong?

"Nora and Marte asked me if I wouldn't do yarn spinning or weaving as a winter hand job in this orphanage. We've never heard of it, so we wanted to talk about what the hell it would be like to incorporate it from this year on..."

For civilian women, yarn spinning and weaving are important tasks in winter. So I have to make my family's clothes, and with that skill, it's such a beautiful condition that my daughter-in-law's recipient is determined.

However, grey clergy and witch clothes are given by the temple. Clothing that doesn't matter if it gets dirty when you go out to the woods or do printing in the workshop is buying cheap used clothing in the slums of Lower Town. Honestly, it's more expensive to buy yarn.

After being bought as a lowlife of nobility, there are clothes prepared at the Mansion and clothes that are lowered, and since marriage is probably rarely allowed, the arm of machine weaving and sewing is not so necessary.

"I haven't thought about weaving at the moment because I don't need to make more clothes than I can be given from the temple. However, it may be a good idea to prepare the yarn and knit. You'll be able to spend the winter warmly."

I bought a used one last year so I could stay warm, but I don't care how much cold protection I have. Order yarn and knitting sticks from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce and decide to try knitting this year.

"Nora and Marte will know how to knit, and if you can afford it, you might want to ask Touri"

Vilma is excited too.

I took my seat, talking about having the donated crop obtained at the harvest festival processed in the castle and carrying the finished portion to the temple.

"Dear Rosemaine, I have one more thing to tell you. I painted the chief cleric with the paint Lord Rosemayne's mother gave me, which way should I carry it?

"Let me see it immediately"

Vilma's paintings of the clergyman are painted in soft colours like Vilma, with more Vilma filters, and the clergyman has a divine atmosphere.

The chief cleric looks so saintly, but no. The chief clergyman exclaimed in his heart with a blacker smile and never such a gentle smile.

But as far as listening, your mother will surely be pleased with tears, as she seems to see these sparkling clergy chiefs in her eyes.

"Do not wrap it in cloth, put it in a crate and transport it to the room of the orphan dean"

"Yes, sir."

In the temple chief's room, it is possible that the clergyman who enters and exits will find him. It would be better to keep it in the orphan dean's room.

When I finished talking to Vilma and went back to my room with Gil, the cleanup was over.

"Dear Rosemayne, take the rest of the day off already. We'll be busy for a while tomorrow."

That's what Fran said.

It seems that more than half of the blue clerics are already back from the harvest festival, and starting tomorrow, with the chief clergyman, they are waiting for their work as temple chiefs to hear each report.

We must listen to each report and receive the Little Holy Grail from the blue cleric who went around the land ruled by the nobility to see if there is any mistake in the number.

And keep the golden little chalice locked in line on a determined cupboard. The administration of the Little Holy Grail also seems to be the work of the Temple Chief. The little chalice that is brought back fills the magic with a winter service.

"We must also determine the order in which the Blue Cleric's magic will be carried out during his return and service ceremonies."

The crops of donations received by the Blue Cleric at the Harvest Festival have been transported from the castle to their respective parents' homes, so they will return to their parents' homes to receive it. They're going to have a lot of big baggage in and out, so if you don't keep it in order, it's going to be a hassle.

"This is the temple's winter support for the blue priest. … Lady Rosemaine must also go to the castle, but Lady Rosemaine should do so in conjunction with her report to the Lord"

When all the blue clerics return and all the little chalices are in place, they have to go to the castle and report to the lord. This also seems to be the work of the Temple Chief.

"Master Rosemaine's winter costume is also prepared in the castle, isn't it? We have to transport it here, and I wonder if there will be a meeting to unveil it there?

And it was arranged one after the other unto Fran, and I was slackened. I thought the temple's winter support would be over if I prepared my share of the orphanage and my own room, just like last year, but with more positions, it doesn't seem to end so easily.

From the next day, the interview with the Blue Cleric was to continue as every day. Recovery of the Little Holy Grail is the main task, listening to stories about yields, tax collectors and the rural atmosphere.

Some blue clerics give unexpectedly detailed reports, while others end reports easily that nowhere changes greatly.

"... Chief Cleric, why don't you assign two clerical tasks to Kanfel and Fritak? We're both noblemen whose houses aren't wealthy, and if we pay them, they're going to work seriously."

"I can't afford to teach those who don't know if they're willing or not, from scratch"

He said so without a nibble, Chief Cleric, but he once tried to assign me a job before. However, she chose to carry it herself because the blue cleric was too unusable and the former temple chief was troublesome to do anything with.

"Only the clergyman is busy because he's more certain and faster to do it himself and because he brings in all his work. You should leave the rest of the work to me, even if it seems far away. There's no longer a temple chief."

With the former temple chief gone, it is no exaggeration to say that all power in the temple is held by the chief priest. Some blue clerics seem to have been keeping away from the clergyman for protection, taking into account the former temple chief, so you should educate them if you can use them for this occasion.

"How many blue clerics were supposed to do the job that the chief cleric has? My adoptive father, he seems to have assigned a job because he thinks the chief priest is free in the temple, but he doesn't report on the job description?

"The work given to the Lords is something that must be done for sure. What do you want me to do, report the job description? Would it be enough to report the results?

I can't stop sighing at the rigors surrounding the clergy's work. Who raised them this way? I've read that newspaper and company ministers are fundamental to their work. I know it's not thorough here, but it would be necessary to facilitate the work.

"Knowing each other's current situation is important in order to do our job smoothly. Now, I spoke to my adoptive father and gave him a little extra time in the printing business. You may proceed with my progress."

"... you said you couldn't do the job you were given?

He opened his eyes not only to say he could not believe, but I pointed my lips softly.

"I didn't say I couldn't. Unlike Brother Wilfried, I have no free time because my adoptive father was insensitive in the printing business, and I just told him the reality. As for the printing business, it seemed like he was going to let the clergyman do it, and he was surprised to tell me that I was taking the initiative."

"So, that Zilvester gave you respite? Isn't that sweet for you?

The clergyman frowns in dissatisfaction, but the clergyman is weirder when he is weak and his appearance leaves more and more work to me in the child. "I guess it's natural to leave it to those who can," but I don't want to be left to it.

"In the meantime, only one thing I can say for sure is don't expect me to have the same workload as the Chief Cleric. Physically impossible."

In winter there is a service ceremony and an aristocratic social circle, but too busy. Honestly, I don't think I can do this with my strength.

"Your opinion is good, but I'm prepared for your medication."

"You can't have such a drugged life for your health!? Chief Cleric is the one who relies on medicine. Please change your life. You don't have to rely on drugs to get less work done, or you'll fall in."

I can tell Richarda that, I added, the Chief Cleric looked terribly disgusted. It seems easy to imagine Richarda scolding you.

"It wouldn't be easy to get less work, would it? What are you gonna do?

"First, let's go to the castle less often. I think we need to go in and out to gather information, but if we go, we'll do our job, so we just need to be less frequent from the start and get information from Justkus."

When I suggested, the chief clergyman frowned a long time and made a difficult face.

"But if I don't go, you're gonna keep your job stacked at Zilvester's desk?

"It's my adoptive father's job, so you just have to let him. My adoptive father at the top of Aerenfest's aristocracy can't do as much as he can, so what do you do? The chief cleric said something about being sweet to his adoptive father, but he should be tough on his adoptive father before being tough on Brother Wilfried."

I would know if I treated you a little bit that the only person the chief cleric seemed to have the affection of a flesh parent was a father who would hit his cousin with his half-brother, Zilvester.

But the chief cleric turned out stunned by my allegations.

"... I'm sweet on Zilvester? I've never been told that before."

"'Cause you told me to do it myself, about the end of my life. Help me with what I can't do, but help me with what I can, right? Is your adoptive father's job a job that your adoptive father can't do?

Lords who can't do their lord's work are more problematic, but when I added, the chief cleric closed his eyes, stroked his jaw, and slowly sighed.

"It's not like you can't just try to turn it around to make it easier for yourself."

"As much as Brother Wilfried is working hard, so should my adoptive father. The chief cleric should give priority to the work of the temple over the work of his adoptive father. And let's also assign the work of the temple to other blue clerics to make some room"

As I gripped my fist, the chief clergyman raised his eyebrows gently.

"Can you afford it, huh? What the hell was that for?

"... for the health of the Chief Cleric. Nothing, not to secure my reading time."

"You got the real deal at the end. But, well, fine. When you say you're unscrupulous from Zilvester to the Temple, will you stop me as head of the Temple?

I was assigned a troublesome job by the clergyman who grinned. Weird. I felt my work had increased, which I was going to reduce.

Having deposited the Little Holy Grail from all the blue clerics, I made an appointment for a meeting and headed with the chief cleric to the castle.

On my way to my adoptive father's office on the Lesser Bus, I ask Richarda to prepare me to bring back to the Temple the already processed portion of the donated crop that has arrived as my share.

Finally, he asked about the progress of Wilfried's classes.

"Master Wilfried has successfully filled out the assignment table. Side service was also replaced by half, and enthusiastic education began. I encourage Karta to practice that it is time to beat the princess this time. The basic letters can now be read coarsely, and the numbers can be read. You have to practice writing a little more."

I guess Richarda really likes to raise her kids. He talks about Wilfried's growth with a lively look.

"We're also in the process of practicing fesh peel, and we're going to be able to play one song by winter. It's a repetitive exercise, so you get eclampsia right away, but after screaming for a while and stepping on the community, you're practicing with a regrettable face."

Because of this, I taught Richarda a game to play while adding up with cards. Add this to playing cards and you'll learn a little calculation.

"Dear Gilvester and Florencia are surprised and delighted to have grown so eye-catching. Thank you very much to the Princess."

Parents would be happy because they are trying to escape the crisis of obsolescence. I think Vilfleet can continue his efforts because the joy has reached Vilfleet.

I arrived in the Lord's office, and I cleaned up the Lesser Bus, and entered with the Chief Cleric. As the Chief Cleric said, there are tons of letters on the desk. And seeing the chief clergyman, even the surrounding civilian was saved, such a face.

In total disregard of it, I stated that the Little Holy Grail was undoubtedly returning and made a report on the Harvest Festival.

"Have you finished the harvest festival unharmed? Thank you, Rosemaine. Then, I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask for an extra ten small chalices, just like last year"

"I can't."

To my immediate answer, the adoptive father tilted his neck with Coteri after blinking his eyes several times. I refuse for a reason because I look at me with a face that I do not know if I understood or did not want to.

"I can't do it with you last year. I have to go out to the aristocracy, so I can't move the same way I did last year, and I have fewer people than last year."

He was such a temple chief, but he only had a high status in his parents' house, and was somewhat more magical than any other blue cleric.

"... I've already taken it on. Can't you figure it out?

Even if they say that, rest is mandatory, and it's mandatory to show your face to a gathering of nobles. I can't afford the time and strength to spend up to the Little Holy Grail in the extra territory, even though Wilfried has been asked to follow me somehow so that I won't be ashamed at the winter revelations.

"Do not take a sweet look at the number of blue clerics today, and the lack of magic and my lack of strength. If you really need magic, why don't you come to the temple and let your adoptive father do his magic?"

"Me, huh!?

"If you're noble, you're responsible, and your aftermath is what you do, right? Don't even ask for this convenience, it's your adoptive father who took it on his own, so please do something about it. No matter how hard you try, you can't take on half of it in the temple."

The same thing is true of Aerenfest, which is seriously lacking in magic. I don't know what kind of political deal there was, but there's no way I can take extra care of it. If you really want my adoptive father to think of something to do, whether he can use magic or replenish the Blue Cleric.

My adoptive father, who had given up early persuasion that I could not, turned his gaze to the chief cleric.

"Ferdinand, who..."

"Unfortunately, it's the decision of the temple chief. It's a great shame, but there's nothing I can do about it, being the chief cleric. Besides, I thought you said it last year. Only this time, he said. Do your part."

The adoptive father opens his eyes wide and holds his head to the clergyman, who raised the edge of his lips and gave him a smile without an island to attach.

Blocking my adoptive father, who brings in troublesome work, ended my most important winter support.
