Ascendance of a Bookworm

Angelica's study group by the escort knights began. Angelica has to go back to the House of Lords for a supplementary course, so while she's at it, she's doing a fierce special training for Karta with the apprentices in the Cavalier dormitory.

Brother Cornelius told me that when I take the picture tag I remember, Shun and I move quickly to take it.

As for the fundamentals of military law, when I fell asleep shortly after the Baptism ceremony, the content of the book Brother Lamprecht brought to me was central.

When I read the book, I felt like I somehow figured it out when Darmuel explained it to me using a chess pawn using the magic called Gevinnen, although it was due to the use of magic.

"Okay, Dermuel. In this case, do you think we should move it here?

"Yes, Master Rosemaine. It's the other stones that move like this."

While Darmuel moves the pawn, he tells me some of the military law stones in the book.

Angelica is impressed with the fact that when the pawn is actually moved and explained, it really gets to her head.

"Is this what this sentence was about?"

"I wish I could use Gevinnen in my lecture"

With magic and force moves, it seems that Angelica and Brother Cornelius, who were just moving as they were told above, have also become a little interested with regard to military law, looking at the book, moving Gevinnen's pawn.

Brigitte, who was watching the two of them, glanced at Darmuel.

"This is how Darmuel remembered the law of war?

"My brother taught me, so I mostly used Gevinnen when it comes to military law"

Gevinnen is a commonly played game within the Knights, but it takes magic to play as well, making it somewhat of an intermediate to advanced aristocratic play. It seems somewhat strange that Darmuel, a junior aristocrat, has it and uses it as a matter of course.

"When my brother was in the House of Lords, he said Gevinnen was a pandemic. He said Master Ferdinand was setting up and describing the operation, also using Gevinnen in a competition called Warcraft Hunting and Ditter against the Territory. Even if we didn't listen to the lecture, the law seemed to be in such a state that we all knew."

Dermuel's admiration and respect for the clergyman may be the high percentage of that kind of brother's story.

... Nevertheless, the more I know, Chief Cleric, seriously omnipotent.

"By the time Lady Rosemaine goes to the House of Lords, perhaps cartas and picture books will be pandemic? This is all that works. I suppose you could sell it more expensively to the rest of the world, right? We can strengthen Aerenfest's position."

That's what Brigitte said as she looked at the carta and the picture book.

"... is Aerenfest in a weak position?

"Is it around the middle now?"

Aerenfest has less aftermath and is relatively stable because he remained neutral in the fold of the coup, so he's now putting it around the middle, but until then, he was in a faster position to count from the bottom among the territories with about 30.

"Because the influence of a lost territory has just declined, and Aerenfest itself is not influential"

"Really? So let's keep it as secret as possible from the rest of the world about the material and make Aerenfest more academic for a while."

I told my adoptive father and the clergyman what I had heard from Brigitte about teaching materials and academic improvement and the influence of Aerenfest. While the situation was rattling, it seemed like it wasn't even a wish to the Lords to strengthen Aerenfest's influence.

As a result, at the feast to live in the spring, the lords declared that the scholarship of the children of Aerenfest had risen considerably during the winter, and that they would remain on the ground in other territories with regard to the material of the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, so that they would never leave the dormitory even when brought to the House of Lords.

At the end of the Spring Suifest feast, let the lower aristocratic parents write a piece while talking to the children who will spare their farewell to lend their children the materials and promise to use them with care. I exhaled a ho and a relieved breath at the smile of the children holding the picture books and carta with joy.

"Dear Rosemaine, I will gather many more stories by the next winter"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to preparing a new picture book, too. Make sure you write it yourself and practice your letters."

The nobles with their lands return to their respective lands.

At the same time Angelica must return to the House of Lords. In the last few days, we have seen obvious progress, so we want you to keep up the good work.

"I'll be back on Saturday"

"Please listen to the lecture and practice Karta and Gevinnen"

"Yes."

Angelica went back to the House of Lords with a carta for herself and a picture book and gevinnen for her parents to buy. My parents were surprised that Angelica wanted something about the study, but they immediately bought it and appreciated it enough to moisturize their eyes.

As the nobles dwindled one after the other, me and the chief clergyman also returned to the temple for winter mitzvahs and spring baptisms.

The next day there will be a meeting with the Blue Clerics to head to the prayer ceremony to announce the draft decided by the Chief Cleric on who and where to send them. The direct jurisdiction was to be divided between me and the Chief Cleric.

After the meeting, the clergyman will tell us more about the prayer ceremony and the gathering. I was sighing in my room drinking the tea Nicolas had made me. Nicolas, who brought me sweets, gently places a plate before me.

"Master Rosemaine is very busy. Are you feeling all right?

"I'm still fine. The prayer ceremony will be accompanied by Nicolas and the others. It will be a busy day to travel by carriage. It's gonna be tough, but please."

"Yes!"

Beyond the door, a bell sounded, and the chief cleric and the zarm with the materials came in.

"Fran, Thurm. Spread this map. Just like last year's prayer ceremony, we plan to go around the Winter Hall in the morning and afternoon with the Horsebeast. Unlike last year when we went around everything, including the land of nobility, it's just the direct jurisdiction, so I think we can afford it somewhat"

As the clergyman let Fran and Zahm spread the map of the territory, he began to show the order in which he would turn at this prayer ceremony. It should have been split in half at once at the time of the meeting, but in the present explanation everything is to be turned by me.

"Um, Chief Cleric. I think the chief clergyman was about to go around here in a meeting?

As I tilted my neck, the chief cleric looked at me with a bewildered look.

"Everything is going to turn because me and you are going to act together. Guess that much. By and large, you would have been asked to travel directly to the Lord's jurisdiction. [M] You forgot?

"I remember, should we offer a lot of magic in prayer? Isn't that what a clergyman can do?"

I don't think it needs to be me, and if I can split it it, shouldn't I? Last year's prayer ceremony, which turned everything around, was forcing me to restore my strength and magic with drugs, and it was a really harsh journey.

But the chief cleric blew my word with one snort.

"That's what you were asked to take on. It would be your job. I'm your watchman."

"Ahhh... ok"

Only, the prayer ceremony seems to be my job. He says the chief cleric is an assistant.

The chief clergyman goes on to say "to it".

"We plan to collect spring material on the road, but unforeseen things like autumn can happen. As long as I wait worried and be summoned in Ordnants, it would be less of a psychological burden on me to act together from the beginning"

"That verse was very helpful. Best regards again"

Remembering the night of Szczeria, I ask the clergyman to accompany me. Without the Chief Cleric, there is a huge difference between security and safety.

"Rosemaine, Eckhardt said he wanted to accompany you at the prayer ceremony, don't you mind?

"Brother Eckhardt is the chief priest's escort knight, so I don't mind either, though?

"No, in principle, acting as a cleric, you can't let me bring an escort knight. You will be taken in the form of a guardian knight."

Apparently, a father who worried about his daughter leaving the aristocratic district and touring the territory, under the authority of the Knights Commander, is talking about attaching an escort knight to the Lord's adopted daughter.

"If spring material is also going to be a battle again, shouldn't there be more fighting power?

"Ah. If you're good, let's take Eckhardt. Then I have to accompany a civilian to see Hasse's upside down, okay in Justkus?

I tilted my neck when I saw the clergyman with a very unpleasant face as I said it myself.

"I'm relieved to see Justkus, but how could the Chief Cleric have such a face?

"No, there's nothing busy when Justkus is motivated."

The discussion ended with the sigh of the clergyman, and it was decided by the members accompanying him at the prayer ceremony.

"It's a meeting with the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce today, but that's a lot of people inviting it"

I laugh small at Fran's words on the road to the orphan dean's office. Today, in addition to Benno, Marc and Lutz, we're calling Corinna and Touri.

"There are a lot of things that we need to put together and finish."

When I got to the orphan dean's office, everyone at the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce had already arrived. Benno speaks for himself and greets him.

Then I turned my gaze to Corinna and Thuri.

"I want Corinna to tailor her costume. I'd like to ask for it by the star knot ritual."

"... Master Rosemaine is not yet an adult, but whose costume is it?

After Corinna blinks a few times, she tilts her neck with a decoy.

And I grinned, and invited Brigitte.

"It's a Brigitte costume"

"Wow, is that me?

"Yep. Brigitte tailors the most beautiful looking outfit. That is my reward to Brigitte."

Brigitte the Tartarus. I lead him into the den. Brigitte stepped into a hidden room that she had never been in before, looking like she had wandered off.

And invite Corinna and Touri as assistants into the stash room.

"Fran, will you tell us a story about the clerics heading to Hasse?

"Yes, sir."

Leaving it to Fran, I took Monica into the den.

"At the star knot ceremony last year, I saw Brigitte and thought the costume didn't look very good. And I thought about it. Costumes suitable for a woman as long as Brigitte."

I will arrange the design paintings that Monica had for me on the table and have Brigitte look at them.

"This is a costume in the form of an 'American sleeve'. Large diagonally cut from around the neck to the side, exposing the shoulders"

Unlike the Holter neckline, it doesn't leave your back heavily exposed because it has the same shape of body behind it as before, rather than hanging it with a cloth, strap, etc.

"And this is how you tie this ribbon on your elbow, and you just put your sleeves on it."

"... that's unusual"

"I think the glamour is enough, as it perfectly accompanies the body to the waist and the skirt area uses plenty of cloth to create a strand"

I really wanted to simply emphasize the good style with the mermaid line, but it is the aristocratic costume that uses plenty of cloth. I decided to use plenty of cloth from around my waist, emphasizing Brigitte's big tits and the tight back to hips line to look clean.

As a costume worn by noble women, I tried to avoid taboos and design them.

"In the current fashion, your shoulders are fluffy, and you're going to look like you've spread out on the side, right? Although they may look adorable if they are small or skinny women, Brigitte is long, so they look prettier emphasizing vertical lines.... What do you think? If you don't like Brigitte, you don't have to make it."

And it came to pass, when I saw Brigitte, that Brigitte eased her expression and smiled.

"No, now please. This is the costume Master Rosemaine thought for me, and I knew that the current fashion did not suit me or the female knight. We have to keep up with the fashion, so we can wear outfits that don't suit us. But if Rosemaine, the lord's adopted daughter, made the costume, we can make it popular."

Brigitte accepted my suggestion as a costume not just for herself, but for a woman knight of similar body.

"Corinna, Thuri. Brigitte measurements and cloth and color arrangements, please. Brigitte, all I can get out of me is five large silver coins. If Angelica passes, it's one small gold coin. With that in mind, think about your budget and make a costume."

"I'm afraid so."

When I told him to line up the paper and ink before Corinna and let him use it freely, I gave Monica the gavel-like magic apparatus.

"Monica, when you're done measuring and discussing, slap me here with this. Because the demon stone outside is glowing and you know it."

"Yes, sir."

Leaving the measurements to Corinna and Thuri, I went out of the hidden room.

Discussions on the steps to complete the accounting report on the sale of materials and send the clerics to Hasse were almost over. I've already been to and from many times, so the meeting seems to have ended smoothly.

"Dear Rosemaine, I saw Hasse the other day."

According to Marc's explanation for taking advantage of the snow melt to see how Hasse was doing, there seemed to be quite a bit of discussion during the winter months and the mayors were completely isolated.

"It's the same thing the Lords have abandoned that prayer ceremonies don't take place for peasants. If you hear that the new temple chief is the daughter of the lord, and he manages to become the lord, it's only natural that he should become the new temple chief."

It seems that the peasants around Hasse blamed the mayor for his shallow carelessness and consolidated in his opinion that he should ask the temple chief, the daughter of the lord, to take it up.

The fact that the former temple chief had already died, that Cantona was out of charge, that the attack on the small temple would be seen as an attack on the Lords' clan, and that the townspeople of Hasse, who were informed at one time, seemed to be in havoc in a closed winter hall.

"Apparently, the townsfolk thought the small temple was a temple that the new temple chief had built of his own accord, and did not know that the white building was made by a clan of lords. He said firmly that he had no intention of attacking the lord, that he had been commanded by the mayor of the town"

Everyone at Aerenfest seems to know that the white building is where nobles live and should never be touched.... Though I did not know.

"The mayor seems to be getting smaller and alive because we rumored he needed someone to take responsibility for it."

"... thanks, Marc"

"It's an honor to help. Rumors have circulated that in the spring there will come a civilian or knight officially given his life by the lord to capture those responsible, so they are probably in a mentally stranded mood"

To Marc's black smile, afraid that his loyalty was too strong, I looked softly away at Fran. Fran also has another limp grin.

"Now we want you to ask the soldiers at the gate to escort us to Hasse again. Lutz, will you give me this?

I give Rutz a letter requesting an escort. Though I also thought of giving it to Thuri, it would be odd for me to give Thuri a letter asking him to escort the soldiers in front of everyone.

"I did accept"

That's when the demon stone in front of the stash room glowed and let me know that Brigitte's measurements were finished. Open the stash room and let the four out.

I glanced at Tulli slightly as I received a report on what cloths and colors I had ordered from Brigitte who came out.

My eyes meet, I laugh at Nicole, but Tulli, the needle's assistant, has no business speaking up. I think hard and look for the requirements to be spoken to by Touri.

"Now I've decided to order"

"Yes, I'm glad you like it. Okay, Corinna. It's a rare costume, so it must be hard, but I expect it from your arm.... and then, Touri"

"Yes."

I looked up like Thuri had been played.

I laugh and order hair decorations.

"Consider the color of Brigitte's hair and the hair decoration that matches the color and atmosphere of the costume. After returning from the prayer ceremony, I will call you again," Corinna and Thuri.

I want to talk slower where I calm down, not in the bumpy atmosphere before the prayer ceremony. Whether my sincerity had come to pass, Thuri laughed small and took out one crate.

"Dear Rosemaine, do you not need spring hair decorations? I made it during the winter for Master Rosemaine, who was heading to the prayer ceremony."

"Sure, I'll take it"

Am I a liar? No, I don't.

The hair decorations removed from the crate were designed to envelop many greens, ranging from yellow-green to deep-green, the white flowers of Renhul announcing the spring.

I had my hair ornament inserted in my touri and I shook my head gently. The leaf ornament, which resembles that of a dripping pimple from the hair ornament, sways loosely.

"It looks great on you"

Touri laughed satisfactorily. I am also very satisfied with the new hair decorations and Touri's smile.

Then, for the prayer ceremony, the priests who go to Hasse before we leave, in the carriage of the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, are protected by the soldiers and depart.

Only my father gets nominated every time because he went out of his way to pick me up at the temple in the first place, he said, and this time the soldiers were all over the back gate of the temple.

"Thank you again, Gunter"

When I deepen my grin and speak, my father kneels with a serious face he has fixed.

"I'll take care of it. I'm sending everyone to Hasse without a problem."

"I trust you. I'll see you in Hasse later."

Next to what I ask of the soldiers, it seems that Marte and Delia, who have become completely friends, were sparing their farewell.
