Ascendance of a Bookworm

I am Charlotte. She is the daughter of Aub Aerenfest, who has just finished her baptism ceremony.

I am now on my way to the children's room with my brother with my sister's letter in my chest. I have a favor from my sister.

… we have to do it!

About the hour after breakfast this morning, your father and mother, then your uncle Ferdinand, took the escort knight and came north away.

I was also called to your brother's room and asked about last night's raid. that one raider has been caught, but more than one nobleman is likely involved. My sister, who was poisoned and in a state of imminent death, was immersed in a medicine called Jurevé to unravel her magic and was asked not to wake up for more than a year.

... because you used your own escort knight to help me, my sister.

To me, who blames myself and cries, my uncle Ferdinand said with a stern face, "Don't waste your strength".

"Think about making amends before you cry. You can always mourn. But honestly, it's a waste of time, so why don't you make every effort you can to fill a hole in Rosemaine?"

Next to your father frowning, "You're too harsh, Ferdinand," your mother says, "I don't think Rosemaine would ever be happy for Charlotte to cry for herself".

When I wiped my tears and looked up at my uncle, he said, "I want to ask the two of you, Wilfried and Charlotte, to lead the children's room and bless you at the Spring Prayer Ceremony".

... If you say make amends than you are crying, I will do my best to replace your sister.

"The control of the children's room goes to both of us. As for the Spring Prayer Ceremony, I can't do it for Charlotte, who isn't used to the treatment of magic, so I'd like to ask Vilfried, who left me away at the Spring Lords' Conference..."

Immediately after that determination, my uncle removed me from the prayer ceremony blessing. I'm not kidding. What shall I do if all of a sudden they take up the place of atonement?

"Uncle, it's not impossible. If you're used to handling magic, you should practice it, right? If your brother practiced during the Lords' Conference, I will also practice during the winter months. Me and my lord's daughter. I will do all I can to replace your sister, who was poisoned because of me."

I am better than my brother, who has just escaped the challenge, and all the teachers have said so far. Then if I strive, I will surely be able to replace your sister.

"Charlotte, it's hard to handle magic. It's hard before you get used to it, and it's tough.... Still, if you want to do it, do it. I think the practice of dealing with magic is also good food to see with its eyes what Rosemaine has done so far"

"Yes, Father"

"I'm coming to the prayer ceremony, too. Rosemayne can't just help me."

Your brother will also grasp his fist and declare that to your uncle. That is not what I know of a kind but lazy brother, and I have opened my eyes and gazed at him.

"Okay, both of you. Practice working with magic and prepare for the Spring Prayer Ceremony by pouring magic into the underlying magic during the winter. The two auxiliaries are to be hit by Master Bonifatius and his parents."

"Ferdinand......"

To his bitter-faced father, his uncle smiled furiously and thanked him.

"I'd also like to arrange a prayer ceremony about the two of you, Aub Aerenfest"

When I asked your father about prayer ceremony arrangements and magic exercises, his uncle sent me and my brother a letter.

"This is the letter Rosemaine was writing down. There are plans and plans for the children's room. Just like Rosemayne was doing, and I wouldn't go as far as to do, but to do some child room control."

"Yes!"

So for starters, it's the dominance of the children's room in winter. You and your brother must work together to do what is written in your sister's letter. "Rosemaine's leading sidekick and escort knight turn to the children's room, but is told to return exclusively to the temple. Do it while we use our own exclusivity well, listening to our surroundings".

... I don't think she's going to go the same way as my sister, but my uncle said she could be my sister the same age. I'm sure I'll do well, too.

"Good day, gentlemen"

As many people were told to beg for help as possible, I began with Dr. Mauritz, and I also called your sister's escort knights and sidekicks to show her your sister's letter.

The letter contains a document requesting students in the House of Lords to gather information on other areas and to prepare a reference book summarizing the lecture. The usefulness of the information and the details of the lecture meant that the reward would be given.

"What is the reward?

"It's money. I just don't know where Master Rosemaine's money will come from. What is your budget like for Dear Charlotte or Wilfried? Is that the lead? Or should I talk to Aub Aerenfest?

I tried to talk to your sister's escort knight apprentice about her budget, but another escort knight raised her hand lightly.

"Cornelius, Lady Rosemayne's budget to and from the castle and temple should be managed collectively by her guardian, Lady Ferdinand. Since the usefulness of the information is up to Master Rosemaine, why don't we pay uniformly at a price not so high for a moment and, if it was beneficial, take the form of putting it up from Master Rosemaine at a later date?

"I see. Now ask Dermuel and Brigitte to manage the information and pay the compensation. I will work with students to gather information and make reference books in the House of Lords."

"Okay."

I've just decided to share among your sister's escort knights. However, Angelica, who made a brilliant move when she helped me, is in a position to step away from everyone for some reason.

"With regard to your activities in the House of Lords, would you also be willing to assist us in the escort knight apprenticeship of Lord Wilfried and Charlotte?

"Yeah, of course. Nice to meet you in the House of Lords, Ernesta."

"I'll take care of it, Master Charlotte"

To Cornelius's request, not just my escort knight apprenticeship, but also your brother's escort knight apprenticeship.

"Dear Princess Charlotte, if we leave it to the Cornelius and the others, we will be fine with regard to the House of Lords. How about a children's room? What instructions does Princess Rosemaine give you?

That's what Richarda asked, who was your sister's lead sidekick. Richarda used to be your father's leader, so I know him well, too. Rest assured, I also showed Richarda a letter.

As far as children's rooms are concerned, this year there are more picture books, so I want them to continue to write according to their individual powers, to increase the number of digits of multiplication and apportionment for arithmetic, and to tell them that they can also be lent this year in exchange for stories with the collection of picture books and toys they lent last year.

"Dr. Mauritz, can you do what your sister was doing this year?

When I asked, the teacher nodded slowly.

"... let's do it. Last year Lady Rosemaine was really good at moving the kids and motivating them in many different ways. I'm here as a teacher, too. Let's get through this winter with reference to last year's Rosemaine."

"Um, I'll do my best to replace Rosemaine, too"

My brother, who is going through last year's children's room, strained and held his fist.

Richarda, who was thinking with her neck tilted, raises her hand softly to block the discussion.

"I'm sorry I'm motivated, but you should just say hello to Princess Charlotte today and an explanation that Lady Rosemaine won't be here for a while and how to proceed in the children's room this year"

"Well, why not? I can do exactly as you wrote."

"Princess Charlotte, we need to be ready for everything. Princess Rosemaine was prepared for treats as a prize to be distributed to the children who won the game, but would you like to order them exclusively?

I had no plans at all regarding such preparations. Richarda raises her gaze slightly upwards to remind me of what my sister was doing.

"The princess pre-empted the sharing of dedicated musicians on the practice of fesh peels, the selection of books of writing to suit each strength, the grouping in games of cartas and cards, and the preparation of treats to be prizes. It seems difficult for Princess Charlotte, who doesn't know how the children's room looked last year. You might want to assign someone for the day and get ready."

None of the pre-preparations mentioned by Richarda were matters that were not mentioned in the letter.

"I don't know what to do when they say I'm ready. Does Richarda know?

"Yeah, I know, Wilfried boy."

"Okay. Then tell me"

With Richarda's extraction, Dr. Mauritz began preparing for the children's strength test and the dedicated musicians for the sharing of classes. And your brother's escort knight was put out to negotiate with the Knights for the training of the children.

I get a first-person greeting from my children as I see them all moving out in a hurry. The names of the children who wore their brothers at the fall hunting tournament are given in advance, so we need to remember their faces well. How we hang out with these kids is our challenge this winter.

"Dear Charlotte, we were talking about Rosemayne getting a long rest, but how long will it be?

Philine, a junior aristocrat who ended his greeting, came to inquire in a small voice as he cared about his surroundings. Philine's young leaf-like eyes are shaking in concern for her sister.

"I'm sorry. I don't know the details either."

"Master Rosemayne said you would make my mother's story a book. I didn't just talk to Dear Rosemayne this year, I've been working hard to write it myself, so I wanted you to see..."

That's what Filine said, and she lay her eyes down sadly. I can't make you a book.

... I can't do it like your sister, can I?

It's been a sudden setback since the first day. My confidence, which I had been praised for being better than my brother and for doing what the Lord's Son deserved, came in a tingle and crackle.

Our challenge began the next day. Based on the quick-created exams, Dr. Mauritz will measure each person's strength. In the meantime, based on my brother Wilfried's memory, I'm going to be grouping games and playing cartas and cards.

… something that is ready for treats today.

I have been entrusted with a group of children who have just finished their baptism. It wins here and becomes an insurmountable wall, like last year's sister.

My such determination was quickly scattered. The kids who practiced carta and cards between brothers were very strong, and I have only practiced with my brother, who brings them here occasionally, and I have failed.

... I regret it.

As a son of a lord, you can't remain drooping like this.

I was about to rematch, and I was gently drawn to arms by an escort knight named Darmuel. He wants me to show him your sister's letter in order to collect the material.

"Collection of teaching materials, what is it?

"Master Rosemayne was lending materials in exchange for stories for junior nobles he couldn't buy himself.... Oh, there's still a loan sheet in there."

The list of names that I wasn't sure what was written seemed to be a refrain from the material I lent and the stories I received.

I asked Dermuel, "May I speak to everyone from Lady Charlotte and Lady Wilfried? We were urged to return the materials to the lower nobles.

The lower nobles will come with the materials they borrowed. An escort knight named Brigitte will carefully put that in the crate, and Dermuel will mark the return on the list.

Watching the two breathing moves somehow, even your brothers settled for Karta.

"Well, I'll hand out the treats to the winner."

"Yay! I was looking forward to it!

I handed out the sweets I had prepared to the children who had won. When the kids who were overjoyed to receive the treats, they would all look subtle for a moment and say, "It's delicious" with a smile that seemed to have just been fixed.

As I leaned my neck towards the inexplicable reaction, your brother raised a small voice, "Ah".

"... everyone, I'm sorry. Rosemaine is under treatment this year, so we don't have an exclusive Rosemaine cook. It's not gonna be the same treat as last year."

I remember and was satisfied with the treats that came out at my first tea party with my sister. It was just my first treat to eat, and it was very tasty. You can't make it for my exclusive cook.

Philine gently took my hand, which just leaned down a little bit.

"It's enough to have a reward. It is not for Lady Charlotte to be so depressed. I don't really eat sweets at home, so I'm very happy with the reward treats."

"Yes, Charlotte. I can only make the same treats where my exclusive cook made them. That's a treat Rosemaine thought of, so Rosemaine is special."

That's what Rosemaine's side service said, and your brother told me. Looks like your sister even made sweets as well as picture books.

... Me, will I really replace your sister?

Finishing dinner with no response done at all well, this is my first magic special training. I registered for magic in your father's office and entered the magic supply for the first time.

In a strange room with an enormous amount of magic equipment, it provides a supply of magic. When I say magic supply, it's not about my magic, it's about pouring the magic stored in the demon stone. Your mother will be in charge of my brother's assistant, Lord Bonifatius.

"Charlotte, this is how you put your hands on the Demon Stone and pour the magic behind you."

That's what your mother explained, laying your hands on the back of my hand. Now I want to do it well, and I will put my strength in the hand that I place on the Demon Stone.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

With your father's prayers, it felt like magic flowed backwards from the demonic stone he was putting on his palm. To the disgust with which magic, which is not my own, tries to come in, I rush into the magic so that it flows to the other side.

Pushing in against the momentum took a lot of strength, and even if I was going to concentrate, I felt my head blurring gradually.

"That's it."

With your father's voice, your mother took the Demon Stone out of my hand. The pressure I've desperately resisted is gone all at once, making me more tired. It seemed so burdensome all over my body that I accidentally sat on the spot. I don't have the energy to move very much.

Unlike me, who is also a billionaire, your brother stood up saying, "I knew you wouldn't get tired".

"... brother, how are you"

"The first Vilfleet to provide magic was in the same condition as Charlotte is now."

Huh, your father said that with a laugh, and your brother nodded loudly, "Uhm."

"I think I was somewhat used to it because I supplied it every day in the spring. Rosemaine, who supplies her magic, not demon stones, said it's what she always does at the service ceremony, and she looked like nothing. The magic supply was perfectly fine when I ran and fell."

My brother comforted me as I grew accustomed to it, but I was overwhelmed with tears.

"What's up, Charlotte!? Was it hard enough to cry!?

"No. I didn't think I could do anything so far. I can't replace your sister at all."

I should have been able to do better in myself. You fell asleep because of me, so I wanted to at least be good on your sister's behalf as atonement and not be ashamed of myself when your sister woke up. But I can't do it well at all.

"Charlotte, don't compare yourself to Rosemaine. Rosemayne is the Virgin of Aerenfest, who was to be welcomed by the adoptive daughter of a lord with abundant magic and unparalleled knowledge. You don't have to do the exact same thing. You just have to work as hard as you can. You're doing great."

That's what your father told you, but I still regret it. I didn't think it would make such a difference, even though I was only one year old. I cannot satisfy my sister's replacement, which is the atonement for what I have done. It was a day that ended only with frustration.

When the students heading to the House of Lords are gone, they begin to study exclusively for their children in earnest. Various problems also occurred during that time.

Separation of classroom time for writing and calculations, sharing and replacement of dedicated musicians on Feshpeel practice, grouping in games of cartas and cards to match strength, preparing treats to be prizes, leading roles to reign and motivate as unwinnable walls, managing stories brought in by children.

One by one, after listening to my surrounding opinions, me and your brother struggled to control the children's room.

"... was your sister really doing this by herself?

To my shuddering whining, Dr. Mauritz sighed and claspered his shoulders as well.

"I remember Rosemaine suggesting a lot before the class started, but rather, I didn't think I was doing this much detail in a day.... because I only had the impression that Rosemaine was always reading books or writing down stories except occasionally interacting with games"

Dr. Mauriz laughed bitterly as he wrote a story about turning it into a picture book at the time of writing, looking at the children's faces and now finding out that they were speaking out, "It's time to do the math," he said. Regardless of when you're teaching one-on-one across the street, they say dealing with a large number of people drives the sense of time crazy.

My uncle has added new challenges to me and my brother, who have not yet been satisfied with the control of the children's room like that. A large number of wooden plaques were delivered as something to remember for the prayer ceremony.

They say that the minimum greeting and prayer complaint is for three wooden plaques, that if you can, you should remember five wooden plaques, and ten wooden plaques if you want to do it perfectly, just like your sister.

"I hear Rosemaine remembered everything. The temple's side said.... I have three for now. Instead, I remember this perfectly"

I just wanted to say enough because I'm replacing my sister, but I'm not sure I can do the same with my sister already. It has already shattered my confidence and so on. I took three plaques of wood, just like your brother.

"... your sister is amazing"

My brother laughs and answers, "Uhm," as I groan so in a soothing mood as I watch prayer complains alongside sloppiness.

"That's right. Rosemaine is amazing. So I'll catch up with Rosemaine while she's asleep."

I honestly thought it would be amazing to have my sister as my goal and my hard-working brother. Because your sister is special, it feels like a straight light comes into my dark heart that I thought I was unlikely to reach no matter what I did.

"To your sister, to your brother, I'll catch up."

We both tried to compete and learn to pray and complain, and even if we didn't have to be exactly the same as your sister, by the time the children's room unity was taking shape a little bit, spring was already approaching.

... How fast time passes.

The busy winter was about to end, and Philine came as she exhaled in relief. "Dear Charlotte, will you still be able to sell or lend me teaching materials this year?" I was asked. Last year I was pointed out that at the end of winter there was a sale of teaching materials, and I didn't think about anything, I turned bright blue.

... Speaking of which, it was written in your sister's letter! What shall we do!?

It was Darmuel who helped me grate. This escort knight is as good at preparing and staging things as I think he is at being a civilian. As I approached her crying, Darmuel spoke to her uncle, who was immediately in the temple, at Ordonanz, asking her father to grant her permission to sell in the children's room and to call the Plantan Chamber of Commerce at the end of the winter.

"Thank you, Dermuel"

"This is nothing compared to Rosemayne's unscrupulous gesture."

That's what I thought when Darmuel gave me back with a gentle grin. Serving an unusual special sister must be such a big deal that even knights can't do civilian work, he said.

... I can't believe I'm like your sister. Your sister is special.

By the time I had folded in myself, it was spring and because of the prayer ceremony, my brother and I were to leave the city of Aerenfest for the first time and go around the direct jurisdiction. It takes about half a month to get around, so three carriages have to be prepared for travel, and it's very hard to prepare your luggage.

I don't know anything about divinity at the side of the castle, so your brother will be served by his uncle, and I will be served by a sister named Fran.

"Best regards, Dear Charlotte"

"Nice to meet you, Fran. Can I ask you something about your sister?

"If it were for me to answer..."

Rocked by a carriage, we head to a town called Hasse at first. On that road I was briefed by Fran about Hasse's relationship with her sister. She negotiated with her uncle, educated Hasse, and said that her sister was doing what she deserved to be called the Virgin in order to save the people of Hasse, who had unknowingly committed treason against her lord.

"Lady Rosemaine hates it when people die. I feel like you're having a rough time searching for ways to make sure someone doesn't die."

That's why even gray clerics and orphans like me take care of it, Fran proudly loosened his mouth.

I was a little worried about how much I was admired by sidekicks and escort knights. I have been taught that it is a good lord to be able to use those below well, but for the first time I wanted to be a lord admired like my sister.

"Okay, Fran. What's your sister's favorite thing? I want to thank you for your help when your sister wakes up."

"Master Rosemaine's favorite object is the book. I can't think of anything else. We all know how much you love books at the temple, so we're trying to make new books for Rosemayne."

When we arrived in Hasse, we received an enthusiastic welcome. For Hasse, who endured the year, he said this prayer ceremony was special and at the Lord's mercy.

The stage for the prayer ceremony seems to have already been set, and Fran with the Holy Grail of the Divine Device will go to the stage first to install the Divine Device and explain it to the townspeople.

In the meantime I will be forced to change into the ritual clothes of your sister's temple chief in the carriage. White costumes, spring hair decorations, both belong to your sister. By the way, your brother only took a few fixes to the length of the blue ritual clothes your sister used to make. I only had ceremonial clothes for my children for my sister, so I had no choice.

"Thank you for waiting"

"Dear Charlotte, I beg your pardon for the dirty hem"

I was about to get out of the carriage, and Fran held me, and I went to the stage. Being transported in this way is not a castle, so if you look at it surprisingly, Fran gives you a slightly bad-ass grin.

"Master Rosemaine is slow to walk, and we carry him this way because he often steps on the hem and is about to fall. I know you're unfamiliar with Charlotte, but the ground is soaked, so forgive me."

And I went up to the stage with Fran, and I went up on the platform where the divine objects were set up.

On the front there are more people than the nobles who were gathered at the time of the revelation, and they are stared at painfully. The strong gaze that caused the fever was strong enough to make you want to accidentally escape the scene.

I can see myself getting more nervous than I did at the baptismal unveiling. My sister laughed at me when I entered that time, and when I played fesh peel, she spoke up, and I was a little relieved of the tension. I felt like a long time ago, even though it was only one minute before the season.

As I tense and tense, the blessed village chiefs come up to the stage with big things. The gaze of everyone's expectations seemed to come close with the footsteps, and I felt like my throat dried up to a crisp.

... What if I fail? If I can't do it like your sister, I'm sure you'll be disappointed.

When I filled myself with such thoughts, Fran gently offered me one demon stone in front of me.

"Dear Charlotte, this is the demonic stone we use for this blessing. It seems that Rosemayne's magic is caged."

I was handed a light yellow-stained demon stone to Fran, and I looked seriously at him and his demon stone.

"Bring the magic of Master Rosemayne to the people of Hasse, who have been worried about Hasse for so long. It's something only Master Charlotte can do. I guess they practiced a lot for this day, huh? Provide the magic of Lord Rosemaine with your prayers."

... delivering your sister's magic to Hasse.

That was something I had to do when I declared that I would take your sister's place.

Breathe deeply, and I will let the magic stone of your sister's magic cage touch the magic stone of the Divine Gear. And I slowly opened my mouth.

"Fruitlène, the goddess of water, who brings healing and change, the twelve goddesses who serve on the side, the goddess of life, freed from Aveliebe, who gives his sister Gedurleich the power to nurture a new life."

As magic pours into the Holy Grail, I push more and more demonic stone magic. Then, all of a sudden, the Holy Grail emitted a cup of golden light. The people of the square raised their voices, but I kept praying and complaining until the end with my eyes down.

"Dedicated to you is a song of joy and joy, prayer and thanksgiving, offering you the blessing of sobriety, filling you with precious colors with all that is in the wide, haughty earth."

When I finished my prayer complaint, Fran tilted the chalice gently. A luminous green liquid flows out of the Holy Grail and pours it into the mayor's sauce, which is lined up in sequence.

Though I have gotten a little used to the handling of magic, it seemed rather burdensome to do my first divine affairs, staring at so many people, that I was embarrassed to be unable to move while sitting on the table.

"It was a great job, Master Charlotte. This way, please. It's a medicine for the recovery of fatigue caged in feelings of labor from the sheriff."

"It helps."

I received the medicine offered to Fran with a smile on my face, and I tried to take it. I look at Fran unwittingly, wondering if I am harassed by the strange smell of just opening the lid.

"... Fran, I smell terrible, is this really your medicine to take?

"Master Rosemaine said the same thing the first time. But definitely on medication. This medicine is used by both the clergyman and Master Rosemaine when they need to get back in shape as soon as possible. The smell and taste are terrible, but they work well."

I took the medicine, almost crying over Fran's words. I couldn't even spit it out, I drank it desperately, but as a gin as my tongue was paralyzed, it tastes so bad that I can't stop crying for a while. I can quickly recover my fatigue and move, but I don't want to drink it again.

"Master Rosemaine has now restored her magic and strength by doing divine deeds, and when she runs out of magic and strength, she recovers with this medicine for prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals in the form of divine deeds in the following places. If you will also need Charlotte, please do not hesitate to speak to us at any time. I keep a lot from the clergyman. It's a long way to go."

... I can't believe you take these pills, repeat your divinity, and pour magic around for Aerenfest. Is your sister no longer a goddess, rather than a Virgin?

I'm already thrust through all of the surprises, the fright, the admiration, the jealousy, and I feel like I want to believe in my sister.
