Ascendance of a Bookworm

After returning to the temple, he spent dizzying days arranging printed materials for the day of sale at the castle, adjusting about time and place, watching the finishing touches of Brigitte's costume, and going to see how Hasse was doing.

And with the ritual of the star knot at present, the temple was informed that the ritual of the clergy chief's revelry was held inside, and that after the ritual of the star knot he would return again as the clergy chief.

Just for a few days, the Cleric's office will be shut down and no one will be allowed in. The chief cleric cannot stay in the temple any longer than he was vulgarized, so he will return to the aristocratic city.

"Kanfel, Fritak." so that they may proceed with the ritual of star knot. "

"Yes, sir."

"Rosemaine, as I perform the ritual as temple chief even in my absence.... same as last year, so there won't be any particular problem, but it's forbidden to be alarmed. Okay?"

"Yes."

After a tremendously disturbing number of precautions, the Chief Cleric returned to the aristocratic district. This year's ritual of star knot must be performed without the chief cleric.

I can see Kanfel and Fritak, entrusted to represent them, are nervous now.

"Gods stories don't have to be so nervous because it's okay to read the scriptures as they are, right?

"No, Temple Chief. I'm not talking about the gods, I'm worried that the blue clerics, beginning with Lord Egmont, won't do what we say."

The Egmonts, who were the hipster wipes of the former temple chief, have a comparatively higher status among the blue priests in the temple. At least, it will be above Kanfel and Fritak. When we can put power on Kasawa, it's hard for both of us to cope.

"Let me know when that happens. I will deal with you as the temple chief."

"It is painful to ask the head of the temple, who is still young, but then I ask you"

To both of them I smiled and undertook Nicoli. A blue cleric who wears power in a kasaa and doesn't listen can do it back with power. Still, if you don't listen, if you gently intimidate with magic, it's over. It's no big hassle.

"It's a star knot ritual today, but you call it a star festival in Lower Town, right? Hugo told me."

I nod at the words of Nicolas, who dresses in costumes.

"Is it time for the orphanage kids to leave? Gunter's going to accompany us this year."

Today, Lutz said he couldn't accompany the orphans. They have to invest in the star festival so that the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, which has just been able to do so, can be recognized in the region.

And they're told by Benno to interact with a few Dalua and the people in the store where they were. The merchant world is also difficult.

"Because Hugo broke up with his lover, he still couldn't attend the star festival this year. Ella taught me. But since Hugo has a trip to the aristocratic district after the star festival, and he's busy deciding to work in the kitchen as a helper in the castle, he doesn't regret not being able to attend the star festival at all."

Nicola told me with a laugh that she said that with a face she seemed so sorry for. As soon as we finish lunch, we leave for the aristocratic district, so are the two exclusive cooks.

"Nicola, please help me with dinner."

"I'll take care of it. I've improved, too."

In the morning we will perform the ritual at the temple, in the afternoon we will travel to the castle and it will be another ritual.

I'm pretty busy designing Brigitte costumes this year, not just rituals, but also shows them off.

"Brigitte will be in trouble by now"

Dermuel said so on the way to the castle with an exclusive ride as well and a lesser bus to the castle. It's Darmuel sitting in the passenger seat today.

Brigitte is off work today and is supposed to be polished all over her body in the morning to prepare for the revelation. Originally dressed in a knight's quarters, they use a room in the main building to get out in the costume I produce.

"Instead of Master Rosemaine, who works in the temple, Brigitte has Master Elvira, so are you very nervous? If you replace it with my position, it's like having a Knight Commander on it."

Dermuel in the passenger seat was worried as if about himself, holding him around his stomach.

Such Darmuel must also participate in the ritual of the star knot, so as he arrives at the castle he heads to the Cavalier dormitory at the same time.

My escort knights after arriving at the castle are Brother Cornelius and Angelica.

"First of all, Mr. Rosemayne."

"Unlike last year, Rosina was coaching Monica and Nicolas about hair that incorporated the fashion of the castle, so I don't think we need much support, but what would Richarda judge?

Richarda looked at me in the temple length with harsh eyes, from top to bottom, right to left, front to back, and from every angle, and fixed a little hipster, and then nodded one.

"This will do the princess well. We will now take you to the room used by Brigitte"

At the lead of Richarda, when I arrived in the room, Corinna and several other needles were moving around the perimeter of Brigitte in various ways, and her mother watched her closely.

"Mother, I know that you have listened to my request. Best regards, Brigitte"

"Yes, I'll take care of the new costume revelations, and Rosemayne will finish the temple chief's service without a scratch."

In this star knot ritual, my mother is supposed to accompany Brigitte to reveal her costume. Because I have a role as head of the temple, and I am a child, so I must withdraw as soon as I finish my blessing.

Mother was happy to undertake it because she is well received for her temporary sewing revelations at her mother's faction. To add, he had nothing to do as a mother and was unhappy because Brother Eckhardt and Brother Lamprecht are unwilling to look for someone this year.

My brother thanked me for attracting your mother's interest.

"You look great, Brigitte"

"I'm afraid, Master Rosemaine"

It's an American sleeve dress that looks perfectly along the line from chest to hips. A light emerald green dress brings out Brigitte's dark shades of red hair to show.

The floral decorations decorated around the voluminous hips with lots of strands are red, similar to the color of the hair. And the flowers that decorate the hair are bright white and the leaves in the same shade as the dress are shaken. As you can see at a glance that I sponsor, the hair decorations are aligned with the ornaments of my jaws.

"The costume alone will attract enough attention, but it was Rosemaine who devised it. I'm sure the most greedy lords will be here soon."

Be careful, when Mother advised, Brigitte gave up a mixed pale smile.

"I am the woman who was once divested of my engagement. I didn't expect to find the next fringe. So if you find a good lord for Ilkner in the costume that Rosemayne thinks of, you don't want anything more."

... I wish I could find a better lord for Brigitte than Ilkner.

I do not yet know very well how the breaking of the engagement between the nobles will affect me, there is no word to be spoken to Brigitte.

"Now it's time to come to the Great Hall. Rosemayne, go back to your room once."

Take Brigitte with you when you're ready. 'Cause your mother's leaving the room. "You're watching from the top of the stage," Brigitte laughed a little embarrassed when she spoke to Brigitte.

When Patali and the door close, she also speaks to Corinna, who is cleaning up.

"Good day to you, Corinna. Brigitte was so beautifully finished with your efforts. I think the new costume will definitely be the focus of tonight's attention. The name of the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce will spread at the same time."

"Thank you very much for bringing Rosemaine to life."

Corinna kneels, learning from it and the other needles kneel.

"Now, I have plans, too, so please excuse me first. Otilier, say hello later."

"Yes, Master Rosemaine."

Unlike last year, I was able to use the horseman in the main building, and I reached the Great Hall at the scheduled time without being rushed by Richarda.

Clean up the horseman, have Richarda check for costume disturbances, and enter the Great Hall.

The temple chief has arrived.

There is a black carpet laid in the middle of a large hall with high ceilings and wide, like a gymnasium, with gold edges.

I aim upright on the stage, drawing as much attention as I did last year. Slow walks are the same.

"This way, Rosemaine"

There were already adoptive fathers, adoptive mothers and fathers on the stage. When I sit in the chair next to my adoptive father, as I did last year, Brother Cornelius and Angelica stand behind me.

"Nevertheless, you made a lot of thoughtful costumes. I don't think she's the same person as last year's knight."

My adoptive father spoke like he was impressed as he looked down at Brigitte surrounded by various people in the corner of the hall.

Brigitte looks surrounded by women interested in new costumes, not just his lords.

"Ugh, my escort knight would be beautiful, wouldn't he?

"Oh, and if there is, there are men to tell."

My adoptive father, who had a terrible reputation last year, had no criticism whatsoever and nodded. I feel my eyes nailed to Brigitte's abundant curve, but I'll stop pointing it out to you. I feel bad about saying bad things and lowering my adoptive father's stock among adoptive mothers any more.

"But that's like advertising all over your body that you have the back shield behind you. There will be a crowd of men driven by greed. Tell them to be careful."

"Your mother was already paying attention. But he said it would be nice if we could find a good friendship for Irkner among the guys in the crowd. Once the engagement has been broken, Brigitte has a verse that gives up the good fortune. I hope you find someone good this time."

When I pointed my lips slightly, my adoptive father raised his eyebrows gently.

"Hmm. I don't know what's the only edge, but it also depends on Geebe Ilkner's arm whether he can be described as a good edge. I hope I don't pull it off again."

"You can't take responsibility for me that far either. You just have to make a good choice for Geebe Ilkner and Brigitte."

I don't even know what kind of person is sought after in a land called Ilkner. I don't know which would be a good edge for Brigitte.

"I would be content if Brigitte were known to be beautiful and cute. At the end of the day, we hope it becomes normal for women to wear costumes that suit them rather than just follow the fashion mould."

"Were they thinking more than creating an epidemic..."

My adoptive father looked out for me as surprised, but he doesn't think about such a big deal. I just wish everyone was free to wear what suits them.

Suddenly, the yellow screams of several of your ladies rose in the midst of the stirring. When I turned my gaze to wonder what was going on, I saw the Cleric Chief entering.

You're a lady crowded to deliver the figure of the chief cleric to your sight, but you never do anything to stop the chief cleric from going. As if it were a pre-arrangement, you don't step into a black carpet with a gold rim laid in the middle.

"Coming, Ferdinand"

Without anyone interrupting me, the chief cleric came up on the stage and sat down next to me opposite my adoptive father.

Behind it stands Brother Eckhardt, who has not hidden his happy expression. Seems more than happy to be able to work as an escort knight than looking for a new daughter-in-law.

"You sound happy, Brother Eckhardt"

"Mm-hmm. I didn't expect another day like this to serve Master Ferdinand. Yustox was delighted."

"Oh, you said you wanted to show your face to the temple as much as you could. I felt like a gaze of interest was passing me by, Rosemaine."

Meaninglessly, the Chief Cleric turns his gaze to me.

"... Is it possible that I'm looking for you?

"Affirming that Justkus seems to be a childhood hobby and people are not listening, but on top of his information-gathering hobby, he's definitely not the subject of interest."

I was affirmed, saying people didn't listen well. For Justkus, there are so many unexpected things around me.

"Be careful not to be silent."

"Yes. Speaking of which, if you're vulgar, you can get married, too, right? Does Master Ferdinand not have to look for someone?

Wouldn't it be better not to sit on the altar and speak to one of your ladies? When I asked him so, the chief clergyman clasped his shoulders and shook his head.

"No use."

"Yes?"

"There's no woman with magic to match"

And it was said unto me, Kippari, and I turned my eyes round. I know that when there's a difference in magic, you're not going to be married. But will you say that all the suitably aged ladies in the Great Hall are not eligible?

"Um... aren't there any of you?

"If you decide on the scope with a marriageable Aerenfest woman,"

"Is that it? But there's a woman you've been seeing, right? Like your mother told me it didn't last long..."

Dear Ferdinand, I don't think your mother's information is incorrect. Because the majority of the sources are Brother Eckhardt on the side of the clergyman.

As I turned my gaze slightly to Brother Eckhardt, the Chief Cleric seemed to have sniffed away the source and exhaled a sigh of disgust.

"What are they talking about, at all?... when I was in the House of Lords. Some of the Lordship candidates we were learning together were women to match."

Even in Aerenfest, wives do not have a woman to match magic, the chief clergyman clapped his shoulders.

... Given the magic, isn't the wife the adoptive mother?

"It's troubling not having a woman to catch up with."

Oh well, your father frowned when I talked to him completely as another human resource.

"Then why not let Ferdinand marry Rosemaine? If Rosemaine grows up, she'll catch up with magic, too, right?

When a hell of a bomb remark was made from an unexpected place, the chief cleric and I peeled all together.

"You want me to take care of this problem child for the rest of my life? What kind of harassment, Calstead?

"That's right. Such a novel, it's nothing but harassment to be heard all the time. Does your father, who knows the competence of Master Ferdinand, want to marry Master Ferdinand?

"Ho ho ho, your breath is perfect"

I can't stop my cheeks from pulling on my adoptive father, who smiles at me like a nigga and an unpleasant feeling. This is my face when I try to cause trouble because it's funny.

"Dear adoptive father..."

Stop thinking about weird things, the clergyman stopped me from trying to say. It just makes me laugh, the chief cleric said, waving his head gently, placing his hand on my shoulder and staring at me with a serious look.

"Rosemaine, while you're at the House of Lords, you have the most opponents. Find the best person for yourself in the meantime. At this time, you may exit Aerenfest. I'll allow it. Hide your nature and look for someone seriously. All right?"

"Okay. But make the same effort as me, Master Ferdinand. At your age, Ferdinand comes first."

When Cochri and I nodded, I stopped as my adoptive father panicked.

"Wait a minute. Don't take the liberty of deciding on a matter of territory. You have no authority to give such permission to Ferdinand."

"What are you talking about, Zilvester? I'll be Rosemayne's guardian, won't I?

"Oh, adoptive father. Are the guardians the same as their parents?

Talking about that, I tried my best to find Dermuel this year, but I still can't find him. Has she been found cute this year? Or are you in love with Brigitte?

At the same time as the 7 bells ring, Jilvester softly rises and leaves one step forward as he flips his cloak.

"Start the star knot ritual with this. The bride and groom go to this!

The bride and groom lined up and started talking about their adoptive father. After that, they sign the contract in pairs.

When all the covenants are finished, I will bless you.

"The Supreme God, who presides over the high pavilion sky, is a husband and wife of darkness and light, who hears my prayers, who bless the birth of a new couple, who offer their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude, and who do not give them the blessing of holiness."

Praying for the blessings of the supreme god's couple gods as they magically cast their magic into the ring, the light of gold and black swirled from the ring and jumped out near the ceiling. And gold and black can twist, overlap, and play.

Everything became a small grain of light, splashed, poured down on the bride and groom and cheered.

... Phew, your work is done.

I hear there will be an announcement about the revenge of the chief clergyman after this, but I will leave as soon as I give my blessing.

With regard to what happened after this, I just have to listen to you at a tea party with your mother scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

"Mother, was Brigitte's costume well received?

I asked my mother what happened last night, saying a sip of tea and sweets first.

Mother exhales, ho, with an inadvertently intoxicating look after drinking tea.

"Brigitte last night, that was nice, too."

What Mother began to tell with a grumpy face was not an appreciation of the new costume, but a love story centered around Brigitte.

Until last year, Brigitte, dressed in a costume that didn't suit her, was beautiful enough to attract all the attention this year to wear a new costume. It was the lord's adopted daughter who devised the costume.

Of the many halls whose eyes nailed to the charm of Brigitte, who gained a mighty back shield, it was his ex-fiancé who approached him with a smile.

Again, you can get engaged. That won't hurt your reputation the most, and I said I was out of it, and I offered my hand.

It was Darmuel and several fellow knights who broke in between them.

He said Dermuel struggled to protect Brigitte's honor from his ex-fiancé.

"And I want him to wait another year because he kneels before Brigitte and acquires just the magic he deserves to propose... that's what I said. It was as if the knight's story were being played in front of me, and my chest rang out to me as I watched it on the side. I'd like to be courted like that."

... What's that!? I wanted to see it too!
