Ascendance of a Bookworm

The magic formation for transfer was full of magic, emitting black and gold light. At the same time, the demonic stones that are caught in the brooch glow. The space in front of me swayed loosely, and I was struck by the feeling of a flash of lightheadedness.

As I noticed my head shaking with a crease, Richarda reaches out a little and leans me against myself. The next moment I was able to support and exhale relief, the appearance of everyone standing in front of me was grossly distorted.

I blink and rub my eyes a few times, surprised that my vision was distorted. Only a few seconds later, when the view in front of me was clear, there were no faces to drop me off that should have been in front of me.

"Welcome to the House of Lords Aerenfest dormitory, Master Rosemaine"

On the front there was a large, open door and two knights to monitor the movements of the magic formation. The metastases at your feet are the same thing, and very similar to the pre-departure room. Some things are like chairs and fine magic equipment for the two knights to sit on, and the absence of a drop-off tells us it's already another place.

"Princess, if you're not feeling well, let's leave the room"

He was gently pushed back and urged by Richarda to leave the room of transfer. After this, the Vilfleet cannot be transferred unless the worker carries his luggage to my room.

And when I went out of the room of the transference with Richarda, there was a waiting room, as there was also in the castle. When transferring, the next person's luggage is packed, in a room to wait for the order. Angelica and Brother Cornelius were there to pick me up.

"Dear Rosemaine, I've been waiting for you"

When I left the waiting room with Brother Cornelius and Angelica, there were hallways and doors very similar to the castle. It's so similar that I suspect it really transferred to the House of Lords.

"Is this really the House of Lords? I feel the same as a castle."

"Dorms in the House of Lords are made by lords of the magic of creation, so every dorm in every territory is basically like a castle."

Richarda has distinctive colors for each territory, and she told me that there are gorgeous buildings, solid buildings, rounded and elegant buildings, squared buildings that have swept away any waste...... all sorts of things.

Brother Cornelius nodded at it as well.

"The dormitories in each territory have their own distinctive features and are just fun to see. We can't let anyone else in, just look at the exterior."

They say the brooch given by the lord at the award ceremony is a sorting magic tool, which separates the people from the people. Apparently you can distinguish between a Lord-specific magic, medal-registered inhabitant and anything else. For that reason, he said he had just taken the brooch and couldn't get it into the dorm of another realm.

"Then I'll leave you both to the princess."

"I'll take care of it"

In front of the stairs, Richarda leaves Brother Cornelius and Angelica behind, and they just go up the stairs.

"Master Rosemayne, please come this way. I'm ready for tea."

"Angelica, Cornelius, which way are you going?

"It's a place to welcome new students."

Everyone who has moved from the castle to the dormitory will be waiting in the hall until they are ready, as they will not even be able to enter their room while the side service is in order. I say that upper classmates who have already finished setting up their rooms will welcome the lower classmates.

"Lady Rosemaine has arrived."

An upper class of side-service apprentices makes me tea, serves me sweets, and I make it. Looking around, I saw a freshman in my contemporaries grabbing tea in a tense manner.

"Master Rosemaine, this way, please.... that costume is very nice. After incorporating the fashion in the House of Lords, you also use your own invented flower decorations."

"I made it based on Brunhilde's information. I am not familiar with the fashion of the House of Lords, so it helped."

Brunhilde, who was with me at the age of 9 in the children's room when I was 7 when I revealed, is supposed to be 12 this year, in third grade. Crimson straight hair flows sarally. The candy eyes narrowed with joy, and he looked at me.

"I can help you. Above all. I want to spread the costumes and hair decorations conceived by Rosemaine in the center. I would like to send out an epidemic from Aerenfest because it's good for me once while I'm at school."

Stylish and epidemic-sensitive Brunhilde says it is humiliating as a senior nobleman of Aerenfest that, by national standards, Aerenfest seems to be a territory with nowhere to be seen in one country.

"The epidemic transmitted by Master Rosemaine over the course of several years is sure to be acceptable even in the centre. I asked the Lords and his wife once before to spread the epidemic, but they forbade me not to spread it on my own until Lady Rosemaine had gone to the House of Lords. So I was hoping that Master Rosemayne would be here now, or now. I'm not looking forward to this year's House of Lords."

Brunhilde laughs with her ambitiously burning candy eyes, much like her mother when she was thinking of transmitting a new fashion within Aerenfest with treats and flower decorations.

I don't have that much enthusiasm for the outbreak of fashion because I myself am just a thought or something I made because I want it. He was listening, barely pressured by the momentum of Brunhilde, who complained of his enthusiasm.

"Brunhilde, you mustn't insist on yourself all that way. Lady Rosemayne won't forgive you, will she?

From behind Brunhilde came the girl who separated the emerald green hair into two pieces, carefully braided and further put together the three braids she had been able to do, quietly advancing. I think he was already in the House of Lords at the time of my unveiling because he looks a little smaller than Brunhilde but doesn't remember having a conversation.

"Rezelator.... I'm sorry, Master Rosemaine. I seem to have lost myself to such joy."

"No, Brunhilde's intention to strengthen Aerenfest's influence has been well conveyed. As a senior nobleman, I think it's an important quality."

When Brunhilde lowered as he was horrified, a girl called Lieselator instead said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Master Rosemaine. Please take your time and relax," he said with a modest grin before leaving quietly again.

Rezelator's hair was neatly organized to stay out of the way to move, with dark green eyes hosting intelligent light. Although the shades are different, the face of the leaselator seems similar to that of Angelica. Aren't they sisters, cousins, or blood clans?

"The reseller looks a lot like Angelica."

"Yes, it's my sister"

The reseller seems to have a good eye for picking sweets and preparing cloths for wiping dirty hands, or pouring tea replacements to freshmen sitting nearby, and is moving around. I never slapped my mouth in vain, never forgot to smile, and I knew very well that my parents were well educated, even because of their modest work.

... Is the excellent side-serving blood muscle condensed this way?

Angelica and Lieselator have similar faces, but completely different words and behaviors.

"Unlike me, the Rezelator is brilliant and my parents admire me."

"Oh? Angelica was just unsuitable for side service, and as a knight, wouldn't she excel?

"You're right, Master Rosemaine."

As I blinked my eyes at Angelica's defense, which suddenly came in, Angelica called the girl's name "Eudit" as she had a little trouble.

Eudit has seen it three years ago in the children's room in winter. Surely it was on one of mine? Fluffy, bright orange hair was ponytailed just like Angelica's, and her eyes were sparkling in color.

"While Angelica is an intermediate knight, she can use the magic of physical strengthening and be recognized and apprenticed by Master Bonifatius. It's amazing. Besides, the Demon Sword Schtinluke, recognised and empowered by the Lord, Master Rosemayne, is a special Demon Sword that is willing and able to speak, right? I'm thinking about raising the Devil's Sword, but I don't have enough magic and I can't strengthen my body."

I was listening with my eyes narrowed to the words of Eudit, who appealed so hard to Angelica's awesomeness. It's still a pleasure to have your own escort knight praised.

"Angelica is so amazing now that she can strengthen her body, isn't she? I asked Lady Bonifatius that I had grown up in the two years I was asleep."

"It is! It's enough to be recognized by Master Bonifatius. I want to be that strong, too. Angelica is my goal."

... Eudit is apparently an Angelican follower.

"Eudit, please stop now"

"Right. Lady Rosemaine will not forgive you for making noise. I must also apprentice you for your meticulous care of the Lord. Lady Rosemaine, I beg your pardon."

I found Eudit taking Angelica's word for good on his own and interpreting it.

When I glance up at Angelica, Angelica is out of sight from Eudit as troubled, and Brother Cornelius is making himself laughable. After being chased by Eudit, Angelica, who was not usually praised, was having trouble responding in the light.

"Eudit is a good boy who admires Angelica."

"... no. He's not a good kid, he's an unusual kid, Dear Rosemayne."

To Angelica's correction, giggling dull, I turned my gaze around the room. Warm carpets are laid in the room or tapestries are hung on the walls, but all of them use the same colour as capes.

"You also use territory colors for decoration."

That being said, it was the appearance of those sitting in isolated positions that caught my eye. Because of everyone's bending over, there's a dark atmosphere, and from time to time, there's a remorse that I can't cross even if I want to cross into the gaze I see this one.

In it was the figure of Rhoderich, who had worked so hard to gather his stories, that I narrowed my eyes a little.

"Cornelius, why are those kids in such a distant position?

"It is the children with the parents of the old Veronicans who are solidifying over there. Some of them sinned Master Wilfried at a hunting tournament two years ago. This is how we distance ourselves so that there is no danger to Master Wilfried or Rosemaine."

The number of Veronicans, originally the largest faction, was high. Even two years ago, he still doesn't seem to have completely collapsed, and even students in the House of Lords are about a quarter on alert. With 15 of the 65 people living in the same dorm in that state, I find it difficult for everyone to work together to improve Aerenfest's overall performance.

"Can't we do something so we can put them on our side?

"This is what factions are all about. I heard from Brother Eckhardt that Ferdinand, who was neglected by Master Veronica, was the son of a lord, but was placed in such a position. Until my brother came in, he said only those who had been ordered directly by the previous lords were close."

"... Really?"

I wondered if the Chief Cleric had also seen the largest faction with such a gaze, but I could not imagine the structure.

... Seems like he had a hard time at the castle, but from what I hear about Brother Eckhardt, he seemed alive in the House of Lords.

I hope it doesn't mind, I can only think of a steady walk down the road to Mad Scientist as a delight. Using all pretexts and excuses, it makes me think that I must have died and sat in the House of Lords in an environment where I could be free.

... I've decided to move around "for myself" like this one.

"Master Wilfried has arrived"

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Apparently Wilfried was picking him up. He comes in with his own escort knight apprenticeship and civilian apprenticeship. Preparing tea and sweets also seemed to be nearby, and as a few moved finely, Wilfried sat next to me in the chair being prepared.

"Is this the dorm of the House of Lords? It's very similar to the atmosphere of the castle."

The answer suddenly came back from behind to words like Wilfried's soliloquy: "Yeah, I am," he said.

Looking back, a seriously skinny woman is there with a gentle grin. In my late 30s to early 40s when I was a year?

"I am a dorm supervisor at Aerenfest dorm, my name is Hillsur"

Hirshur was originally an Aerenfest nobleman, and because of his excellent grades, he was to work in the center, and now he's a teacher in the House of Lords, apparently giving lectures on magic equipment.

"Recently, Master Ferdinand informed me of a long time ago. I hear Master Rosemayne is a beloved apprentice of Master Ferdinand. I am not looking forward to seeing what a loving apprentice of a lord candidate, a knight apprentice, a civilian apprentice, and a gifted child with the best grades in everything will do."

... a loving apprentice of genius? When did that happen to me? Is that it? Hasn't gotten any higher hurdles?

Before I could reply anything, Hirshur stood in the center of the room once he laughed nicely and began to explain the dormitories for freshmen.

They say the dorm has a women's room on the third floor, a men's room on the second floor, and a room on the ground floor for joint use such as a hall or dining room. It's every time the boys go up to the third floor, and the knight apprentice will take turns watching the stairs.

The deepest part of each floor is the room of the Lords and their Ladies, which is to be used during the Lords' Meeting.

"If you don't take the exam, and spring will be like staying in the House of Lords, you will be remembered by the Lords and their wives for their faces and names in a bad way. Ladies and gentlemen, please be careful."

... Ooh, Angelica.

Each floor will be equipped with three Lordship Candidate rooms, and the rooms prepared around them will be used by the proximity. Except in the vicinity, they say the back is more senior aristocracy, and the rooms close to the stairs become lower aristocracy. The lower and intermediate aristocracy rooms are used by multiple people, but with money, they can also be made into private rooms.

Everyone seemed to start taking meals and was taught the opening time of the dining room. They say baths are supposed to be prepared in their own rooms, just like castles.

"There will be an advanced ceremony and a rapprochement in two days, and the next day the lecture will begin. By then, freshmen should get used to dorm life and be ready for lectures. Preparation for everything is important. Do you have any questions?

"Yes!"

I raised my hand vigorously. Hirschühl, of course, has all his gaze pointed this way.

"Where is the library in this dorm?

"There is no library in the dorm. There's a library in the House of Lords."

"So when can you enter the library? Can we go now? What time does it open?

My breasts exalt to the sound of a library, not a library. Hold on to the mood you want to rush out now and when I asked excitedly, Hirshur laughed like trouble.

"The library will open only after the lecture begins. There is an explanation of how to use it for freshmen in order by territory. We'll be able to get into and out of the library later."

"... Really?"

It is disappointing that the library kept it until the lecture began.

"If you have an enthusiastic Lordship candidate, everyone will be followed to study. I hope so, Master Rosemaine."

… does that mean that if I, the Lord's Candidate, were to read the book, everyone would be followed and read the book? You have to read hard!

By the end of Hirshur's description, Richarda came to the hall to see if he had finished getting his room ready as well.

"Princess Rosemaine, your room is ready."

That is what Richarda tells me, and I go first to my room. The hallway is long, so that I may use the horseman, and I put out the horseman and rode in.

"That's all I can offer you."

It is only upstairs that Brother Cornelius, a man, can accompany him. Only Angelica will be the escort knight for the rest.

I went up to the third floor and saw doors lined both sides of the long hallway. My room is in the back. Quite a long way. If you were to go up the stairs to the third floor and walk down the hallway to the back, you might go and fall on your way without a horseman.

"This is the princess's room."

Inside the room was prepared in a placement not very different from the castle room. The result was thought to be so that I could live without discomfort, and so that Richarda could work on the flow lines to which she was accustomed.

"Okay, princess. Let's make a quick decision on the side. Was there anyone in your possession today that caught the princess's attention? Please choose from here. Because I have to announce it by the end of the day."

Clerk, no, it's a study desk here. Several sheets of paper had already been prepared for the study desk. In the list of students that Brother Cornelius asked me to draw up, for those whom I may flank, ○, for those whose identities and positions are subtle, but who, depending on my opinion, do not mind putting them near, △, are subject to vigilance, so those who ask me to stop are given an x. And those who were close to Vilfleet and Charlotte had two acronyms in them.

"Brunhilde is ○, Lieselator is ○, Eudit is ○, Filine is △, Lauderich is ×..."

I groan, looking at the list of those in my own memory.

"Rhoderich is not worthy near the princess, as he is the one who fell into Lady Wilfried at the hunting tournament"

"Even if you don't feel like falling for yourself, if you were acting like your parents told you to, it would likely have happened, wouldn't it? As I have given Brother Wilfried the opportunity to rehabilitate, I would like to see him and decide."

My opinion was rejected by Richarda. He said it's impossible to get him in close proximity with little knowledge of himself like now. Indeed, it is true.

"Anyone who has caught the princess's attention outside of Rhoderich should be treated as a proximity. Brunhilde and Lieselator for the side-service apprenticeship and Eudit for the escort knight apprenticeship. If Lady Rosemaine wants, I don't mind putting Filine in the civilian apprenticeship."

Richarda will decide on one side after the other, taking into account my opinion.

"But you need an advanced civilian apprentice who can support or mentor the lower aristocratic Filine. If Lady Rosemayne has no objection, let's add Haltmoot to the side."

"Who is Haltmoot?

"I'm Otilier's youngest son. You seem to be a nostalgic kid and like to relate to people. You're very good at gathering information."

"Well, let's also include Haltmoot"

He said I went into the House of Lords before I had my baptism ceremony, so I don't know Haltmoot very well, but I don't think it would be a problem if he was Otilier's son and Richarda recommended him.

"Later, yeah. You should also choose a knight apprentice who can succeed Cornelius. How about a traugot? He was born between my daughter and the sons of Lady Bonifatius and Second Lady."

"My uncle and Richarda's grandson...... You seem very strong just to ask."

"Not yet, it is. I was taught how to compress Rosemayne's magic, and as an escort knight, I can't compare it to Cornelius, who was trained by Bonifatius."

He said there was talk of Traugot becoming an escort knight apprentice for Wilfried, but he was reluctant because he didn't know when Wilfried would get my permission and be taught how to compress magic by that escort knight.

The villefleet, which was brought down from the seat of the next lord, which was almost insistent, also seemed to have had considerable difficulty collecting the sides.

"Then, I don't mind putting Eudit in as Angelica's successor, but Angelica isn't for his successor's guidance, is she? What shall we do?

"Master Richarda is right. Sorry, Master Rosemaine."

Richarda sighed into Angelica's voice, who didn't seem too bad.

"Even though I say I ask Cornelius to educate me, there are still some things that are hard to say if not between women. I know it's a roundup of female knights, or a need for a female knight apprenticeship that can be coached in conjunction with Cornelius. Don't you have any idea, Angelica?

Even if Richarda asks me, to Angelica, who just leans her neck tightly, I say, "Do you have a knight apprentice of a woman who seems to think of me as various instead of Angelica?" I ask. As soon as that happened, Angelica began to think with a serious eye.

"... what about Leonore? Cornelius and I are close, and I think we're good at thinking."

"Angelica herself is basically unwilling to think about it at all."

"Yes, you're right."

... What shall I do? I feel Angelica is giving up her thoughts more than two years ago.

"Here, Lord! It is not good to reply clearly. Whenever the Lord receives his teachings from the Lord's Master, he becomes more and more dependent on his senses. Just so you can learn to think a little bit more."

Steinluke of the Devil's Sword, with Angelica lowering to her waist, has begun to preach, so there doesn't seem to be a curtain for me to come out. Let's leave the novel to Steinluke, who says the same thing as the chief cleric.

"If you see Leonore and get a colorful response, add him to the Guardian Knight."

"Yes, Princess."

Now the first proximity is a decision.
