Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Princess, the matter nearby was pleasantly accepted by everyone. I've already had the room started moving. After this, the vicinity will come to say hello. You can't go up to the third floor, so meet me after dinner."

Richarda, who went to tell her that she would announce after dinner with a fixation near the side, came back.

Apparently, anyone who gets sidelined has to move to a room for sideliness. Beyond the door began to buzz. Perhaps the move of the neighbors has begun in large part.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I pass through the proximity?

"Yeah, let me through."

Angelica, who had refrained in front of the door, asks permission to open the door to me. And it came to pass, when the door was opened, that the children that were near my side came into the room one after the other. They're going to talk about greetings and job sharing here while they sideline their room and work downstairs.

Brunhilde came in best and knelt before me.

"Dear Rosemayne, I am very pleased to hear that you have drawn attention. I'll take care of the epidemic."

"I'm going to ask Brunhilde to do something about socializing. As you know, I have been asleep for two years, so I am not very familiar with the subtle situation in the country or with the connections between factions and territories. I expect you to gather all kinds of information in addition to my assistants in a social setting."

"I'll take care of it"

After Brunhilde's greeting, the Lieselator quietly knelt before me.

"I thank Lord Rosemayne for saving my sister, whose advancement in the House of Lords was even at stake, with her family, no, with her clan. I know that I want to serve Rosemayne as much as possible to make her comfortable."

"The Lieselator waited for me to wake up to serve me, Angelica told me. I'm glad to hear that feeling. Best regards,"

"Yes."

If the basic letters are written, unlike a civilian apprenticeship who can start working with the help of making reference books and assignments, side service cannot serve as someone's exclusive without training for a year so as not to offend the Lord.

Rieserata, who I was a freshman in the House of Lords at baptism, said that shortly after she had completed a year of training that she was going to serve me, I was raided and fell asleep. He was stunned by his bad luck, but he was excited to see Angelica work out more and more while I slept.

"Princess, I will teach the two sideline apprentices about my work in this room."

Brunhilde and Lieselator have Richarda on them to teach them, so no problem. As I nodded, Richarda began to talk about the room description and the plans for the day.

I turn my gaze to the knight apprentices in line. Eudit, kneeling, was looking up at me with an excited, cold face.

"It is a pleasure to serve Master Rosemaine. I also want to be as strong and useful as I can be."

"I look forward to Eudit's hard work"

Leonore, kneeling next to him, was a calm girl with grape (grape) colored hair and intelligent blue eyes. It looks very adult because of the calm atmosphere or because of its good development.

I don't know unless they call me a knight apprentice. I think it's a civilian apprentice.

"Dear Rosemaine, thank you for bringing this to the attention of the Guardian Knight."

"Leonore, I think you and I have asked for a difficult job. If anything goes wrong, I will work with you, so I want you to assist Angelica and Eudit and guide them, in consultation with Cornelius."

Leonore gazed at Angelica and Eudit before squeezing his expression and nodding slowly.

"… we will work sincerely"

I was glad I didn't have to say no, I stroked down my chest and similarly called out to Angelica, who was happily narrowing her eyes, "It's good to have someone in to think about".

Angelica, talk to the two of you about explaining and sharing your work in this room.

"Yes, sir."

Even if Angelica's explanation is poor, she will have to work out a few measures when it comes to Angelica's renunciation of thought, although I'm sure Steinluke will do something about it.

Mmm, and before me pointing my lips, Philine knelt in a moist manner.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. I'm glad you're pulling it closer, but are you sure you want to sidestep junior aristocrats like me?

Philine asks anxiously. I know what it feels like to be worried because lower nobles are rarely taken up by the Lords clan. But Filine swore to me that she was the only one who would gather stories for me from all over the place. To me they are one another.

"What I would like to ask Philine is basically a collection of stories. Besides, there are senior aristocratic civilian apprentices to support and mentor Filine. Above all, if you ever feel bad about being a junior aristocrat, be sure to talk to him. I'll take care of Philine."

"Thank you, Master Rosemaine."

As everyone began their meeting as a sidekick, I decided to join Filine in talking about the Performance Improvement Committee.

"What is the Performance Improvement Commission?

"In enrolling in the House of Lords, the Lords' Candidate was ordered by Aub Aerenfest to improve his overall Aerenfest grades. You must improve your grades while I am in school. committee to improve its performance. The chairman is me and Brother Wilfried, but all Aerenfest students will belong. I won't miss it as one."

With that said, I spread the dossier of information on the House of Lords compiled by Dermuel. Among 21 territories, including the center, Aerenfest roams around the middle. He said he was 13th last year.

Hardly still in the middle of nowhere, but it was Aerenfest who originally had the lowest quarrel with the small territories, and he surfaced only when the clergyman was in office, falling down his right shoulder at the same time as he graduated.

I mean, you can't just have one genius. I have to create a system to improve my overall Aerenfest grades.

"How do you improve your grades? Although I hear it went up quite a bit in carta and picture books."

"I went up in carta and picture books because of my lower grades. Exactly. Carta and picture books alone don't improve your senior year grades."

"Really?"

In the lower grades, too, the only thing that went up visibly was seating. Later, the music of the practical moves would have been a little enhanced.

"He said that Brother Cornelius had become an honorary student in the two years I was asleep. That's because you were teaching seating to Angelica with Dermuel and studying a year ahead. Besides, I learned efficient magic compression, and my uncle... because Bonifatius trained me."

With Angelica's hard work in improving her grades to defend her advancement, she has been followed, or somewhat of the other Knight Apprentice grades, but it's a lot different from how Brother Cornelius went up. And while everyone put their hands on me, I just have to hold my head to Angelica's grades of being painstakingly successful in seating.

"Surely, Master Rosemaine was also conceived of a way to compress magic, right?

"Yeah, when I get back from the House of Lords, I have another lecture. I can't teach you how to compress magic in this place right now because you're going to need permission and money from the leadership. If Filine also wants to know how to compress magic, she can collect stories and information from within and make money for herself."

And I said unto him, I will buy the stories of all the places: and Philine sparkled his eyes like a young leaf.

"I'll do my best.... I have a period of time to make money, and it helps, but after I get back to Aerenfest, I can't make magic happen right away, can I?

"Right. It works for all the students here, and all you can do right away is improve your grades."

The House of Lords says that first and second graders are all common subjects and are to be taught the basics and are to be studied separately from third graders into specialized courses, respectively.

As for first- and second-year seating, I have already been knocked all over by the clergyman. And they say, "Pass it on the first day of exams". Most importantly, without that much common sense, they can't get a busy answer at a tea party where senior aristocrats gather.

I hear Vilfried is already done, too. He says those with lord candidates, senior aristocrats, and siblings deserve to pass their junior year exams on the first day.

And I hear you have to devote some time to practical skills and socializing afterwards. I want to devote as much time as possible to the library. To do so, we need to prepare in advance. I can't go to the library until the lecture starts anyway.

My contemporaries are studied in carta and picture books, so I think I can handle the lecture on magic until the third grade or so. I don't have a problem with math. However, when it comes to history and geography, I think the individual differences are intense. The most I didn't know either was history and geography.

"Anyone who had a brother or sister would often have a reference to the wood tags and materials they made or taught us, right? I want you to get them out and create an atmosphere where we can all get better grades."

I have Brother Eckhardt's material on the knight apprenticeship, so I think if Brother Cornelius would give me that, we could all study it. I think it would be easier to study in the same way as in other courses if we came up with the materials that everyone is carrying.

"I want to improve my overall Aerenfest grades, including the children of the old Veronicans"

"I think it would be best for all of us to improve our grades, regardless of my faction. The winter children's room where Master Rosemayne was, regardless of age or faction, was given challenges tailored to each progress, and everyone was striving for prizes for treats. I really liked that vibe."

Filine narrows her eyes and laughs as she misses it. In the two years without me, the first year seemed to fall into an alumnus at a hunting tournament, and the raided Vilfleet had stripped the children of the old Veronicans of their hostility. Charlotte took it up and was forced to train her not to put such emotions on the table, which seemed calm on the surface.

But in fact, even now, the old Veronicans are distanced from each other in order to make their seats, and not only do they serve it nearby, but they also have an atmosphere where they can be reused. It's urgent that we do something about this.

... is it best for everyone to compete for the prize? If we make other enemies after that, maybe we'll be a little willing to come together?

I also want to manage to create an atmosphere in the House of Lords for the winter children's room that Philine told me she likes.

"After dinner, please stay. Because I have to announce my side and pay for two years of information, and then tell you what Aub Aerenfest has to say."

And I said so unto everyone that gathereth in the cafeteria, and I took my seat.

The table is roughly faction-by-faction; I and Wilfried sit at a large table where the twelve can sit, and otherwise it seems that the friendly are eating together, sitting divided into four tables.

... You already know exactly who the proximity is, but you're going to make the announcement on purpose.

"We thank and pray for the will of the Gods, the Supreme God who presides over the high pavilion sky, the Great God of the five pillars who presides over the wide and hospitable earth, who graces tens of millions of lives as our food, and we receive this meal"

Following Wilfried's prayer, everyone prays and hands on the meal.

By the way, it's just me and Wilfried on a separate menu. Everyone else has the same menu. Even though it means a different menu, it just comes with dessert.

I can see everyone eating at the same table looking out for surprises and eating.

"It has been exceptionally tasty for a few years now, but this year it has another flavor..."

"The pleasure of the House of Lords is this meal, right? I was surprised when I first ate last year."

He's sent a castle cook to the House of Lords, so the quality of his meals has been improving steadily for three years. This year, they have Hugo and Ella, so they tasted even better. Funny how I disagree with junior classmates who have had a good meal since I came in with an old classmate I know.

"This year my exclusive cook was also sent to the House of Lords. You seem to have trained me well in the two years I've been asleep. Yeah, well, the recipe book my side of the service put together is also due out at the end of this winter."

"Well, when it comes to recipes, does it have a way of making them?

Brunhilde holds her mouth and is amazed at her elegance. I also need to learn a little bit about this elegance.

"It will be more expensive than a picture book, but we think it's worth it"

"Yeah, Master Rosemayne is right. The recipe is very worthwhile. Thinking of selling in the center as well?

"It will be next year, or next, to spread the recipe book in the House of Lords. This year I'm just going to show off one or two treats at a tea party and stop them to attract interest around me. It's a lot of recoil to change things too rapidly."

Brunhilde, who said he wanted to transmit an epidemic, pointed his lips slightly dissatisfied. I laugh small at Brunhilde like that.

"You should also make the epidemic a little smaller, Brunhilde. I am certainly a lord candidate, but there is also a difference between lord candidates. If you consider a central royal or large territory lord candidate to be a senior aristocrat, we in Aerenfest, a middle territory, are intermediate aristocrats. If intermediate aristocrats suddenly spread a lot of fashion, what would they think of it by senior aristocrats?

Brunhilde raised her face like a hack.

"We must often ask ourselves which upstream nobility we can connect with and gain influence over what we can transmit as an epidemic. You don't need to expose everything in your hand all of a sudden, so you just have to give us a little bit of information."

"Yes, sir."

Thus, when I had finished my meal, I announced my proximity. He's in the same seat, so at a glance, it's important to make an official announcement.

"I will now announce my proximity. Side service apprentices are Lieselator and Brunhilde, knight apprentices are Angelica, Cornelius, Leonore, Traugot, Eudit, and civilian apprentices are Hartmoot and Filine."

Although the girls met each other in the room, the boys were close to meeting each other for the first time in their dinner seats. I am right to say that I have finished greeting my first person in the children's room three years ago, but I have received too many greetings at a time to remember anything but the honest story, the vigilante that was on the blacklist.

"It's an honor to serve Master Rosemaine."

He came out before me, knelt down, and said so. Traugot is a senior knight apprentice at the age of 12. I heard it was a child born between Richarda's daughter and his uncle's second wife's son, but he doesn't look like his uncle or Richarda. With dark shades of blonde hair and herd blue eyes, his expression didn't move much and he looked like an oligarchy atmosphere.

The next thing to come out of Traugot is Haltmoot.

"Since the directive to collect information in the House of Lords came out, we have been waiting for Lady Rosemaine to wake up. I am delighted to serve you."

I felt like saying something like Justkus. But unlike Justkus, the characteristic vermilion hair is not suitable for intelligence. I have bright, orange eyes that give me a sense of tea glare in a dusty, serene atmosphere. He is a senior aristocratic civilian apprentice and is the youngest son of a 14-year-old fifth grader, Otilier.

When I had finished the whole greeting, I asked Richarda to bring me a bag full of money.

"Thank you to those who gathered useful information while I was asleep and I will now pay for the information"

I will call the name of the informant and give him the money. Information about Brunhilde's costumes and fashion was highly appreciated by adoptive mothers and mothers, and the Cleric Chief was very pleased with Haltmoot's information.

With a word of who was appreciating it, they all glistened proudly as they gave the money.

"Then two people, Rhoderich and Filine, gathered a lot of stories for me. Thanks to you, I'm going to be able to make another new picture book."

They weren't part of the House of Lords, but they gathered the information I wanted most. I'll give you a proper information fee. That is likely to add more new stories for the money.

Philine gladly came before me to receive it, but Lauderich looked at me, money and his own hands with a very bewildered face.

"... may I take it?

"Of course, right? This is what Rhoderich did best."

I didn't think you'd admit it. Rhoderich looked at me with such a face, and distorted his face for a moment, crying.

"I'm afraid so."

"We expect from Rhoderich in the future. Collect stories in the House of Lords."

"… I will make sure to keep up with expectations"

Wilfried, who watched Rhoderich grasp the tighter money in his hand and return to his seat, turned his gaze against me and looked at me.

"Rosemaine, who doesn't know? Rhoderich..."

"The deeds should be evaluated fairly, Brother Wilfried. Rhoderich has gathered many stories for me. I only appreciated it. Faction has nothing to do with evaluating what has been accomplished."

It was the gathering table of the old Veronicans who bothered with my words.

"Dear Rosemaine, would you, then, fairly appreciate even the information I gather?

"Of course it is. Each person has different values. Brunhilde weighed in on fashion and costumes, while Haltmut weighed in on relations between territories. And each person who was pleased with that information is also another person. So if anyone is happy with the information you bring in, I will justly appreciate it."

"... ok"

I was wondering if they had been banned by their parents because they had not brought any information from the former Veronicans. But it wasn't banned by the faction, it seemed because they thought they wouldn't get recognition or anything. If you're looking at Wilfried's attitude, you can't help but think so.

"I would now like to convey to everyone the words entrusted to me by Aub Aerenfest. We, the Lords' Candidates, will be enrolled this year. After this, we also refrain from enrolling Charlotte or Merhior."

Wilfried also rose to my word. And speak to everyone with a clear voice.

"Increase Aerenfest's influence as much as possible in the roughly ten years that Lords candidates attend. They want us all to come together and work together to that end."

"First, let's figure out what we can do to improve Aerenfest's grades"

My opinion soon rose to my word.

"If you could teach me how to compress Master Rosemaine's magic powers, I think that would improve considerably. Tell us too to improve your grades."

In fact, Angelica and Brother Cornelius, and Ernesta, Charlotte's escort knight apprentice, were visibly more magical. Most importantly, it seems to be a well-known fact among the Knights that Darmuel, the lower knight, is still a little more magical.

"... my method of magic compression is going to spread a little bit to those I can trust. After a close look at what has been done in the House of Lords this winter, we are going to sort out those who teach, and after the House of Lords is over, we are going to give that lecture with the permission of the leadership."

"Is that true?

"Yep. But candidates also need permission from the leadership, and they will need a lot of money."

I see those who shine their faces to expectations, those who give up their expressions, and various faces.

"So increasing your magic in a way that compresses magic will be a story after spring. We want to raise seating this year. It's for you to improve your seating grades, and it's for Aerenfest. Let's improve everyone's grades, regardless of faction."

Everyone looked up to my words. And I prayed my shoulders a little, and opened my mouth, where there was a wary face, saying what.

"First, we'll split the squad."

"Squad division?

"First- and second-year students with only common subjects are divided into academic years, and third-year or higher students divided into specialized courses are divided into courses. It's a first-year team, a sophomore team, a knight apprenticeship team, a civilian apprenticeship team, and a side service apprenticeship team."

Although there is variation in the number of teams, there are roughly ten or so. Considering the sharing of references and information, I think this division would be most efficient.

But soon a voice of dissatisfaction rose.

"Rosemaine, are you insane!? If you want to divide the squads, you should divide them into factions..."

"That's right. We can't cooperate!

"Consider also the position of the neglected"

Negative opinions have risen both from Vilfleet and from the old Veronicans, but I want to do something about this atmosphere of factionalism. It makes absolutely no sense if we divide it into factions.

As my opinion rose, I shook my head with my hands on my cheeks with a full, frightened expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although you seem to like factional strife a lot, you do know that in the country Aerenfest itself is one country and you don't think there's anything in particular to see, do you? Not if we're sticking together in it, are we?

"Oh, that's..."

"Others, you forgot you were raided!?

To Wilfried's point, I sighed. A long time ago, I thought Vilfleet would detain me to the faction, but apparently it was to protect me.

"I haven't forgotten, and I'm angry. But there are no parents here in the House of Lords to rely on. Conversely, no parent monitors and enforces our actions. It is enough after returning to Aerenfest such as factional feuds. What we have to deal with are the best students in the rest of the world. First, understand there. If you are a nobleman, you must also be able to conceal your emotions and join hands with your enemies, considering the interests of that time. Didn't you tell me that?

Absolutely no one and he shrugged about the tiny things in the vessel, and Wilfried, as well as the other children, pressed silence.

"Suddenly you won't be motivated to study without a headache. So I, I have prepared a prize to motivate everyone. The team with the most exams passed by all the teams and the most talented will be presented with a recipe for Katorkar, a treat I have devised. You can go back to Aerenfest and let the cook at home make it."

I told Frieda I could publish the recipe, and although I also taught by the way, everyone tries to keep it secret, so the Katorkar recipe hasn't actually spread significantly yet.

Katorkar has so far come to the aristocratic district of Aerenfest and become something that cannot be eaten without being bought at the Guild Manager's shop or invited to a foster mother's or mother's tea party.

If the recipe is a prize, you can eat it at home. I will be free to offer it as a tea treat to visitors. Everyone's eyes changed color.

Wilfried and Brother Cornelius look, um, but let them be patient with Ella's new treat.

"While all may pass early in the lower grades, it will be difficult to be selected for excellence because of the low difficulty. If you work hard in your senior year, you might be able to get a lot of good people out."

"Dear Rosemaine!

Haltmut, a civilian apprentice, raised his hand viscibly and pointed it out.

"I think there are more than one escort knight in the Knight Apprentice who knows how to compress magic, and some good references given by Master Eckhardt, so I think it's too advantageous"

That's right, that's right, and there are endorsements from other teams. It's funny how your voice goes up at times like this, regardless of the faction.

"You might manage to get a reference book if you had a brother and sister on other teams, but there's nothing you can do about just magic. Sure, you need to adjust the difficulty. … then it is forbidden to Angelica to use Schtinluke in seating"

"What!?

"That's too difficult!

I looked straight at Angelica, who had a screaming voice from the upper classmates of the Knight Apprentice, but was breathtaking and turning bright blue.

"In the last two years Angelica has stopped relying on Stynrook to do much, to think more than before. You can't do this. Use your own head, think and remember. I could do it two years ago. We should be able to do it again this year."

"Oh, dear Rosemaine..."

You can't even look like you're about to cry in a flamboyant atmosphere. You are becoming a beautiful girl worried with a sad face, but don't be fooled by Angelica's appearance. This is the face when you don't want to use your head.

"Doesn't Master Rosemaine like me?

"No way. I don't make those I hate into escort knights. I want Angelica to grow. Steinluke, you heard. I will not tolerate wrongdoing."

Seeing Angelica stroke the demon stone of the demon sword as she asked for help, I spoke to Stynrook. "I know," says Steinluke, who copies the priesthood's personality and narrative, returning a clear voice.

"It's not something you do as a knight, such as injustice. Above all, the Lord's desire to grow is the same as mine."

"It seems that Steinluke also understood, above all,"

"Oh no, Stynrook!? Dear Rosemaine!?

I looked around the dining room, smiling and encouraging Angelica to raise her screaming voice.

"Now, work out your own measures for each team, work together, and try lectures.... Well, Brother Wilfried. Since when do freshmen start countermeasures meetings?

Wilfried stood rattled as he stared at the gathering tables of Rhoderich and the old Veronicans.

"Tonight, each of us will confirm the contents of the lecture given to us by our brother and sister and the reference books we have. Tomorrow morning, a countermeasures meeting will be held immediately after breakfast. Victory is ours!

Thus, Aerenfest's Performance Improvement Committee was inaugurated, and the struggle to achieve results began.
