Ascendance of a Bookworm

Getting to the Castle

"I don't know what I'm going to do," he said when he gave Rutz a letter to his family.

"What?

"No, I've been living at the Plantain Chamber of Commerce since last summer, and I live at the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce in Touri."

"Huh? Oh, well. Because Touri is also a Dapra..."

When Tulli was just 10 years old, he didn't move right away because the Plantan and Gilberta Chambers of Commerce had just split up and the inside of the store was bummed by moving the store and Benno and Marc's moves.

It seems that Benno and Marc moved their residence to the second floor of the Plantan Chamber of Commerce and Corinna and Otto, who lived on the third floor, moved their residence upstairs before a room was prepared for Thuri.

"We're both going home on Saturday, so it would be better if Lutz took it directly to the house then. You keep the letter."

"Okay, sir."

Discussions with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce were concluded when she asked me to put in a math to give her a letter to the family and tell her that I would not be able to see her during the winter because I would go to the House of Lords and talk to her mother about it with Geebe Haldenzel.

"Gil, give in. You worked so hard, I'll stroke you."

Come on, and when I reached out, Gil looked at me like I was surprised.

"Dear Rosemaine, I'm not that old anymore..."

"Yeah!? Oh, oh, well. You're right."

Gil turns me down with a very troubled face, and I can pull my outstretched hand in. I thought the contents hadn't changed much, even though the appearance had changed. I remembered that Gil was 14 years old before adulthood and in adolescence. It's not the kind of year I'd be happy to be stroked in front of everyone's head.

... Gil is gone to rejoice after being stroked in the head. Maybe I miss something a little.

Naturally, but it wasn't just the appearance, but the contents changed, and I thought, Gil knelt before me softly and drowned.

"Oh, you know, I just remembered that I wanted to be stroked. Go ahead."

It seemed to convey that I was a little depressed, and I can see that Gil distracted me.

It is also bad to waste the care of the cause, so I reached out to the head of Gil, who grew up. I stroke my head, wondering if this is the last time I'm going to stroke you and praise you.

"Gil worked really hard for me for two years. I was so happy to have five books when I woke up. Thank you. Keep it up."

"... Yes"

And it soon became the day to head to the castle.

I prepare the Lesser Bus to ride the exclusive Rosina, Ella and Hugo. After that, the clergyman's side service put a crate full of work sets on it. He also stays in the castle for a while and oversees my short-term intensive courses.

"Back to the fall mitzvah and winter baptism ceremony. Make sure you're ready."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing the Chief Cleric ask me to serve, I leave my absence to serve my side, too.

"I haven't had a problem with being away for two years. I believe it's okay to be away during the winter. Thank you for coming."

"We look forward to your return soon"

He boarded the Lesser Bus and ran out into the sky after Darmuel's horseman running forward. In the form of the rear guarded by the clergyman, I go to the castle.

When we arrived at the castle, Norberto greeted us and waited for us with Angelica and Brother Cornelius on their knees.

"Welcome back, Master Rosemaine"

"I'm home now, Norberto"

"Norberto, get this package to my office."

"Yes, Master Ferdinand."

When Norbert shakes the bell he took out of somewhere, he comes out straight-working and carries out the crate in the wreather bus.

Your movements were blind, and the chief clergyman called me.

"Rosemaine, I'll give you the materials and books to read, so when you're done dressing, come to my office"

"Yes, I did. Hurry up and get dressed."

"No, we don't need to hurry. Act with the grace you deserve when you're 10 years old on your way to the House of Lords."

... I don't know why. What kind of grace do you deserve to be 10?

Let what I do not know flow, and I met Angelica and Brother Cornelius face to face.

Brother Cornelius is 14 years old, losing his boyhood and being close to adulthood at a glance. Though the way I muscled seemed less guttural, I was as tall as Brother Lamprecht, whom I remember. The face that looked like your mother was more masculine and I feel like I'm starting to look a little like your father.

"It is a pleasure to see you well, Master Rosemaine."

"Cornelius would have picked up the demon stone you dropped, wouldn't he? I wanted to thank you very much."

"No, there is no need to thank an impudent knight who couldn't protect the Lord and was to put him to sleep for two years"

"Oh? Cornelius helped Charlotte, whom I wanted to help. It was the other day for me. Let me thank you. Thank you. I know, Cornelius."

"It's a waste of time."

My eyes meet with Brother Cornelius, who raised his face, and I smile small.

"We look forward to seeing Master Rosemaine back."

That's what I said. Angelica will be 15 by the end of this winter for the mitzvah. The watery hair you are ponytailing flows saggily as you move up your face. A blue eye of deep ocean-like colour looked at me. I feel polished for the first time in a beautiful girl. Dermuel told me you were working out for your uncle, but it doesn't look like much.

... but the appearance scam has been around for a long time.

"I heard it's been two years, and I, I was very worried, are you well advanced?

"Yes, don't worry. I have been taught by my master, Darmuel and Cornelius, and I am learning with Steinluke, so I have not fallen hard."

"... Hardly... He seems to be working very hard on Angelica, above all."

They were both pretty close to adults. Take those two and Darmuel, and I step out to my chambers.

"Rosemaine, use the horseman."

"Master Ferdinand? I can walk from here to my room?

"Your body still can't be described as in book condition. It's just so you can move with your magic equipment, and it's usually hard to get up. Whatever it is in the temple where you don't walk much, the castle is huge. Like using a horseman."

"Okay."

And I let out a ridden beast, and rode in, and went to my chamber. Along the way, it stops for a moment in front of the corridor where the raid took place.

"Dear Rosemayne, what's wrong?

I seem to be the only one whose fear of being attacked comes back to life. The three escort knights just rounded their eyes to see if anything had happened.

"... sorry. I remember there was a raid."

"I understand. For a while, Master Wilfried and Charlotte were walking with tense faces, and the escort knights were pointing their nerves."

That's what Brother Cornelius told me, and it wasn't just me, and I went to my room with a little peace of mind. In my room, Richarda and Otilier greet me. "I'm glad to see you're doing well," she said in tears, finding out she was very worried about this one too.

"Dear Wilfried and Charlotte, it's time to study. I heard Princess Rosemayne was coming back today, and you were both sober."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we look forward to seeing Master Rosemayne back. Elvira has sent us new Lincians and groceries, and Bonifatius dropped his shoulder because he mistook the date for yesterday for not much fun."

... I haven't had much contact before, but my uncle seems to be quite tea-eyed.

Having finished dressing, I head to the clergyman's office with Richarda and the escort knight. He also told me what Richarda had decided to do on his way to the House of Lords on that road.

"The princess who accompanies me on my way to the House of Lords has decided on me."

"Well, if Richarda's with you, it's comforting"

He must have been chosen for his management of the study of Vilfleet, and because he is my lead, he will be able to manage the entire Aerenfest dormitory.

When I said so, Richarda laughed "ho ho ho".

"I was chosen by Lord Ferdinand to be the one who could take out the princess, who would never come out of the library."

"Oh, my God, I don't like it. If it's closing time, I'll have no choice but to go back to my room. Ho ho ho..."

During Reino, I didn't realize the broadcast of the closing, I've even been reading a book in a corner that would be a blind spot on the bookshelf and I've been locked in the library, but basically I'll be out at closing time. You don't have to worry, but they don't seem to think so around you.

"Excuse me."

Upon entering the clergyman's office, the clergyman turned to Richarda and indicated two crates.

"Richarda, will you let me take this to Rosemaine's room? It's packed with materials that Rosemayne should have seen through by the time we head to the House of Lords."

"Yes, sir, Ferdinand Boy."

"Rosemaine, I thought I already gave you the list. Read it in order of priority according to that table. In addition to my House of Lords writing and memorandum, it even contains the latest stuff Darmuel has put together for me. And this is the schedule until we get to the House of Lords. Now look through your eyes."

"Yes."

I look through the schedule as I hear Richarda begin to give instructions to work lower. It's packed with plans to study, but if you think the majority of them are reading, it's not even that painful time.

"Read and remember this here today, before dinner"

"... what is this?

There is some kind of name written on the wooden plaque. I sat in the chair indicated to the chief cleric, tilting my neck.

"The name of the territory in the country and its current approximate ranking."

"I don't even know the geography of Aerenfest when it comes to the country."

"Oh, well."

When the clergyman stood up and opened the locked bookcase, he took out two maps and spread them over the desk. On a handwritten map, I saw a written handwriting, and it looks like a homemade map of the clergyman.

"This is the old map, this is the new map"

Spread them both side by side, and the clergyman will teach them. They said there was consolidation and decommissioning by a major coup d 'état in the centre where there were 25 territories originally.

It is now divided into 21 territories, with four large territories, nine medium territories and seven small territories. From what I saw on the map, Aerenfest was a middle territory in the country and on the periphery of a northeast neighborhood. They say it's a middle territory unlimited to a small territory.

... Flavel turk from Florencia to the west, right? Earlensbach, like Georgine, to the south.

I noticed how hard it was for me to look at the map as I held my finger to a place name I was at all familiar with. To the south of Arlensbach lies the sea. Actually, Arlensbach may be a delicious area of the sea.

... there may be kelp or clay!? Maybe we can have some sashimi!

I let my eyes shine when I discovered the possibility that I might get something that looked like Japanese food that I had completely given up. If I make Arlensbach friends in the House of Lords, I might be able to get some sea delights.

Breasts swollen in anticipation, the next moment, remember reality, shrugged.

... In this situation, then, you can't talk about where you're going to get mad. Yikes.

"Aerenfest's influence is around the middle."

The chief cleric pointed to a ton of wood plaques that I had.

Apparently Aerenfest's influence without such specialties at the border was originally close to the lowest line. Thanks to not being caught up in the coup d 'état that took place in the centre, it surfaced slightly below the middle, but he said this was only a sinking circumference and was never Aerenfest's strength.

But not in the last few years, the chief cleric said.

"It'll be up a little bit next year"

"Why not?

"Because year after year, the House of Lords is getting better grades"

"Huh?"

"Those who graduate from the House of Lords will either work in the centre or begin to work on their own territory. Year after year, higher grades in the House of Lords mean that it brings together the brilliant, often influential all at once in a few years"

"Really? I'm looking forward to that."

Is Aerenfest going up, that's good.

Ho ho, nodding, the chief cleric told me even more about the current state of the House of Lords.

"Angelica, Cornelius and Ernesta, who taught your magic compression, improved their Knight's Course grades and the generations they learned using your teaching materials began to align themselves in the House of Lords. It seems that seating grades are rising rapidly and exploration is being put in from the surrounding territories"

"... Nevertheless, Master Ferdinand is well aware of the information in the House of Lords"

Exactly, I thought Justkus wouldn't be able to get into the House of Lords either, but where the hell are the sources?

As I tilted my neck, the chief cleric held his temples and sighed.

"You gave the students instructions to gather information in the House of Lords, didn't you? What are you talking about now? Darmuel was organizing the information gathered, so I just glanced at it"

Oh, my God, it seems I was the source. Speaking of which, I think I was issuing such a directive.

But I didn't ask the students for intelligence. He wanted us to find out what books were in the library and what stories there were in other territories. It didn't seem to explain enough and I feel like I'm in a slightly different state.

In the meantime, the chief cleric told me, "I have paid a certain amount from Dermuel first, so that he who brings worthwhile information will pay for the multiplication". But I feel a great separation between the information that I find worthwhile and the information that the clergyman finds worthwhile. It seems necessary to discuss the value of the information once and for all with the Chief Cleric.

"Now thanks to you, Aerenfest has something that can also be a specialty. It is now that Aerenfest will be empowering. Besides, in times when lord candidates are in the House of Lords, the morale of the students tends to rise. There will be a time when you, Charlotte, Merhior and the Lordship Candidates will be around for a while, so I want you to motivate everyone well and improve your overall grades. From what I've heard about the situation in the children's room in the winter, you're good at it, right?

That's what the chief priest told me, and I leaned my neck. Nothing, I don't remember publicly stating that I'm good at that, nor do I think I'm very good at it.

"No, I know it doesn't mean I'm good at anything. I just thought that if kids could read letters, more people would read books, and more people would get acquainted with reading books, people would write books."

I wish there were more people writing books, or you need a reading population to make libraries at public expense, but I've never thought about improving my overall territorial performance and increasing my influence in the country.

"... I still seemed to be watching sweetly the passion I put into your book. With that intention, you should look for ways for everyone to be interested in reading difficult specialty books, not just picture books. I look forward to your hard work."

"I'll take care of it"

This concludes today's lecture with a reading outreach campaign to everyone.

It's almost dinner time, so I have to get dressed. I was instructed by the Chief Cleric to leave the room with the materials to be read by tomorrow.

"Rosemaine"

The chief cleric calls me to rest, as he remembers something.

"What is it?

"Today's dinner party is your pleasure celebration. There are also the Kalsted family and Lady Bonifatius. Even though there was some dangerous treatment, if Master Bonifatius hadn't found you, there was a good chance he wouldn't have detoxified you in time. Be sure to say thank you."

I have a strong impression in me that I was about to be killed, swinging upside down, swinging and flying at high speed lateral rotation, honestly, but if my uncle did not come to help me, it would have been dangerous. I was worried, including the fact that I nearly stabbed a stop, if you say so, you should say thank you properly.

"Okay. I'll write you a thank you note by dinner."

"If you want to write a thank-you note, add a thank you for training your escort knight. You fought for the bottom up of all the Knights, mainly the Lord's Guardian, with the care to keep you out of danger."

My uncle seems to have been dedicated to raising the bottom of Aerenfest's battle force for two years.

"Finally, you should ask for tips on strengthening your body when giving you a thank you note. Master Bonifatius easily uses physical enhancement to breathe. I would have taught your escort knight."

... Uncle and Angelica? It seems like some kind of brain muscle fits each other very well.

I return to my chamber, wondering if it is horrible or smiling, a subtle line.

Brother Cornelius knelt before me after he sent me to the front of the room.

"Dear Rosemayne, I must prepare to be present for dinner, so I would like to apologize for the end of today's escort assignment."

"Yeah, Cornelius. Looking forward to dining with you later."

I can't participate in the Knights outfit because the Lords and their wives have been invited to dinner. Simply put, noble sleeves must be dressed in frightened clothes.

Outside the door Darmuel withheld, and I entered the room with Angelica.

"... I miss you without Brigitte"

It's a little lonely that Brigitte, who was familiar, isn't here for me, who was also escorting the temple. Given the right age, I can't help it, and the marriage itself is a pleasure, but it makes me feel lonely to lose someone I'm familiar with from around me. I was also hesitant to spill such stupidity because there was only Darmuel in the temple who was to break up with Brigitte.

"Because Brigitte is a relative of Geebe Ilkner"

Otilier, who picked up my whine, smiled calmly and told me. Irkner said he made a replacement a few years ago and had been harassed by his ex-fiancé since Brigitte's engagement was broken. It seems that the lower nobles who served Irkner were pulled out, and there are now few nobles to support Irkner.

They say they are united in protecting Ilkner.

"Brigitte is trying to get behind Master Rosemayne and support the changing Ilkner."

"It won't be bad because Elvira has been looking for good luck so that we can stay connected to the princess in the future"

To Richarda's words, speaking of which, I remembered that your mother had searched for someone. If you like romantic stories and are a social mother unlike me, you must have looked for a good bond for Irkner.

"If Brigitte is on the path he desires, that is fine with me.... Speaking of which, haven't you decided on a new escort knight yet?

"Last time I was an escort knight for a lord's adopted daughter I haven't even seen, and I didn't have many who wanted to because I sometimes head to the temple, but now there are many knights who want a princess escort knight. Please choose who you think the princess will be able to keep her life with."

Some sorting has been done, Richarda said.

"You need one female knight apprentice who can act together in the House of Lords. Angelica is graduating this year."

"Isn't it a good idea to include those with high magic powers of senior and intermediate aristocracy? The only adult princess's escort knight is the junior knight now that Brigitte has left."

I'm not wrong about what Richarda says, but I don't really want to change it because my current condition is cozy. Darmuel is certainly a junior knight, but he was just saying he was a civilian, and he teaches two apprentices to study, and he listens and adjusts his opinions well.

Our escort knights are doing well because Brother Cornelius and Angelica, senior and intermediate aristocrats, recognize the good things about Darmuel and entrust each other with their work. It's good to get used to everyone.

"I'll talk to all the escort knights and decide. I don't want you to be my escort knight, no matter how high nobility and strong you are, if you're going to break this state that's working well together."

... I don't like the atmosphere around me too much. I don't care what's going on around me, I want an environment where I can read plenty of books.

When I had finished dressing, I wrote up a thank-you note to my uncle, as the clergyman had told me.

Paper with red clover-like Leglace leaves is my exclusive note because my mother negotiated with Benno.

Relying on the memory of the Reino period, I cut my notes into squares and wrote a thank you inside, folding them as I had exchanged them as a student.

... Yeah, I remember it right. That's adorable because the heart shape resembles the shape of the Leglace foliage.

When I finished writing "Dear Uncle" in a heart-shaped thank-you note, I rode on to the larger dining room where the dinner party would take place. It's not just the lord's family, it's your father and mother eating together today.

"Sounds like fun, Princess"

"Yeah, Richarda. When I had dinner at the castle, my father and brother, who were escort knights, would have stayed in the same dining room, but never dined with me, would they? Because I will also participate as an escort knight during rituals and feasts. I'm looking forward to dining with you."

Especially today, they are supposed to serve new dishes from Hugo and new desserts from Ella. I'm looking forward to it.

"Master Rosemaine is here"

The dining room door was opened, where, in addition to the Lords and the Knights, the uncle and the chief clergyman were all present.

"Rosemaine!"

"Sister!

Wilfried, who came running over, was growing up and looked a lot more grown up compared to the prankster kind of atmosphere in my memory. Naturally, he has grown tall in two years.

I used to be seven years old, and if I thought it was slightly bigger and smaller, it looked like a critical year. But now there's enough height difference to line up with the average fourth and fifth graders in elementary school.

... I don't care what you think, it doesn't look the same year.

"Hmm? Was Rosemaine this small?

"Wow, I'll be big soon, too!

The solidification of magic was solved 70-80% way, and from now on, exercise suddenly became a body that wouldn't fall. We should be able to grow normally.

"Now I've worked hard for two years thinking that I can protect them. I think we caught up pretty well with Rosemaine."

Wilfried gave me a smile that I seemed to be good at hooting. I still can't beat you, I just want to say, but I can't say a big thing unless I see how much Vilfleet is growing. I am not ready for the House of Lords yet.

"You don't have to grow up, your sister is cute enough as it is, right?

I had predicted, but Charlotte had left me out of height. Beautiful young girls are becoming beautiful girls. Once in line, I must be seen by my sister. I wanted to cry over the fact that your sister had no majesty at all.

"I also wanted to be able to protect my sister this time, and I tried not to lose to your brother."

"No! I will protect Charlotte. I'm your sister."

When Charlotte declared that I would protect my sister, not be protected by her sister, she said, "Well!" And he lifted up his glorious voice, and looked down upon me with his sparkling blue eyes.

I could see how cute they were looking at me. Charlotte sees me with her eyes that the little one is working hard.

... shocked. Even though I am your sister.

As he was dropping his shoulders with a sob, the chief cleric laid his hand on Pong and my shoulder.

"Rosemaine, just take what you two intend. It's not possible for these two to cross Rosemaine yet. You should show your sister her majesty in a short time before you go to the House of Lords."

And he said unto the chief priest, Show him that the vessel is different, and I lifted up my face haphazardly.

... Yes, study hard before you go to the House of Lords to show your majesty as a sister. As much as the kids' two-year knowledge, you just have to remember right away and have Charlotte respect again.

On the edge of my sight, determined by gripping my fist, Cohon! and showed my uncle coughing several times.
