Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Rosemaine passed all the lectures today"

That night, when I passed all my lectures, at the dinner table where everyone gathered, Wilfried said so.

"Brother Wilfried,... I passed, what the hell does that mean?

"It means it could have been a little slower."

The girls, who had studied so desperately for the words, nodded cocklessly. Apparently there are a few kids who haven't finished seating yet.

The goal that I've worked so hard to enjoy disappearing is like having a library shut down before it passes, even though it worked so hard for me to go to the library. Replacing it with ours was too bad a situation.

... I can't believe it's a library shutdown, even though I'm going to pass in a little while!

I looked around at the girls as I felt my chest about to be crushed.

"When it comes to measuring Schwartz and Weiss, I also have to schedule an appointment with Dr. Hirschühl, and I'm not on my way right away tomorrow. We still have a respite before we meet and decide what to do."

When I tell her that I am going to the library tomorrow, but that I have no plans to take measurements, the girls give me a slightly more hospitable look. But Wilfried shook his head with a difficult face on the contrary.

"I don't care about measurements. Rosemayne's gone to the library, and there's something we need to discuss before we can float any further."

... what? Did something happen to you that we'd discuss?

"Beyond finishing my lecture, I'm going to be socializing from now on. As an Aerenfest, how much information do you disseminate as an epidemic, and I think you should make a common answer about being asked a lot of questions?

"It's helpful because there are so many questions that are cramped with answers these days"

All the civilian apprentices shined their faces in Wilfried's words. Apparently, the Civilian Apprentice has a booming exchange of information and has recently been made a question-attack.

"Ask those who have already made contact with other territories. What questions did they ask you? And how did you answer? I want to build on that. From now on, junior classmates will be in a social setting."

One answer after another came to Wilfried's question. It also seems to have had the effect of making them study together for each specialized course at the Grade Improvement Committee, and opinions are emerging regardless of the faction.

Some of the upper classmates have already had their tea party on the last Saturday, and they have had a flourishing exchange of information between lectures.

They still say the best topic is Aerenfest's secret to improving his grades. In addition to passing the first round of first-year seating, two Lordship candidates are also rumored to be candidates for top performers, he says.

"You'll be asked questions about your grades in seating at once, but you've already decided the answer then, haven't you? It is the merits of the Virgin of Aerenfest that are getting better grades. Next year you will be more surprised, because Haltmoot has instructed you to do so."

I didn't give you any instructions, but that's what I'm supposed to do.

"So far the only thing that's up is basically seating, so this will be fine this year. How much magic will be extended next year by those who find out about rosemaine-style magic compression. So I know Aerenfest's ratings will change dramatically."

It looks like next year will be even more troublesome. I don't like to think about it anymore.

"Stay down for information about education in the children's room in the winter or about picture books, cartas and cards. Now I still want to retain my superiority over my grades in seating."

"Okay."

"That would be good when it comes to improving grades," Wilfried nodded heavily.

"I was asked at a tea party about the gloss of my hair. I only replied that Master Rosemayne lent me a phosphor the day before the promotion ceremony. They asked me where I was selling it, how I would make it, and so on."

It also seemed to have the effect of making hair glossy with phosphorus to female students during the advanced ceremony. Though I didn't know because I didn't hear many such voices around me.

"How did you answer?

"I only borrowed it, so I don't know the details. I just told you that it's starting to fashion in Aerenfest."

"As for the phosphor, that would be fine."

The House of Lords basically carries out its life by transferring supplies from its territory. There are no shops, no people in the House of Lords' facilities.

The children of the House of Lords will only scratch rumors and fashions, and the full story of trafficking will take place at the Lords' Conference. If you want to sell it widely, you can advertise it on this occasion, but if you want to refrain, you can hide it.

"Lincians, flower decorations, and cattle curls can take the real thing or put it on topic when attending a tea party. You should tell him it's starting to be popular in Aerenfest. However, keep the name of the Chamber of Commerce you are selling down. If there are pullouts, theft of fabrications, etc. before a deal is made at a Lords' Conference, it will all drop in value at once."

Students who are a little more sensitive to the value of information and its value up and down nodded with a strange face because they have been using their heads here lately regarding making their own money. I just want to show the real thing, reluctantly give out the information, and hoist the value.

"Dear Rosemaine, I have been questioned today about the riding beast in the form of which I get on board. Master Rosemayne and Dr. Hirschühl are riding over the House of Lords, and it seems that many of the Cavalier Apprentices have witnessed it."

"Dr. Hirschühl created a Schmir-shaped horseman with our craftsmanship skills."

I explained that I was a practical skill in the creation of horsemen. Explain that several teachers have come to test rumors that I have been attacked by Flaurelm with a horseman imitating a warcraft.

"So Dr. Flaurelm's rumors were denied. If more than one teacher can testify, it will be easy to dispel the bad rumors."

"And then, yeah. Some freshmen create riding beasts in the form of boarding."

When I told her that the Lordship candidate girl was making a Schmill-shaped horseman, the Lieselator broke up with her.

"If it's Schmir, it could be fashionable. Because she's so cute."

"Master Rosemayne's advantage of not needing to change is so great. Now that the Riding Beast is already tamed, it will be a little hard, but may I change the Riding Beast from now on?

Brunhilde asked me if I should change my horseback to take on the cutting edge of the epidemic.

"... consume more magic, but when you increase it, you can carry your luggage. It is also convenient to prevent wind and rain, but this is not suitable for a knight apprentice who will be fighting with a weapon. That's what my escort knight said."

Eudit unfortunately lowered his brow on my words. He also wanted Eudit to be a riding beast.

"Besides, rounded animals are cuter than smooth animals such as horses if you're going to be a riding beast in the shape you get in... oh no, it's easier to make animals that can have a bigger part to get in"

In the meantime, I kept the publicity so that it could be extended to Aerenfest. It would be nice to have more cute riding beasts in it.

"Compared to passing the first day of school, it doesn't seem so rumoured that Rosemaine has been invited to the music teachers' tea party."

"Isn't it because the teacher's tea party itself is not uncommon, even if Aerenfest is rarely invited?

I turned my gaze to Brunhilde for such upper-class interaction.

"Brunhilde, have you set a tea party date with the teachers?

"Since my lecture has been completed today, I will now also consult with Richarda to decide. Rosemayne can't remember the information about the teachers as we will prepare them here."

You better know in advance who's at the tea party, Brunhilde says.

"Okay. And this is what I'd like you to do, but find out how influential and legendary Ferdinand is in the House of Lords."

"... Dear Ferdinand, is it?

"When I heard it, it seemed I was making legends in the House of Lords with all sorts. Some of you might be happy to talk about it at a tea party. … on the other hand, some of you may not like it, so I want you to look into it."

As the clergyman himself said, the clergyman is not in one way or another a person's favorite character. There's a good side to taking care of, and an overprotective side to it, but I think it's more overwhelming that it only exerts itself with regard to the person who has recognized value in it, or that the stories and attitudes are often cold and harsh, or that it doesn't give a good impression.

... You seem to be good at paying for sarcasm with your aristocratic loving laughter, and you seem to have many legends and enemies alike.

"The music that is popular in Aerenfest is also the addition of Ferdinand's hand to my composition, so it would be helpful if you put it together somewhat by the time you head to the music teachers' tea party"

"Yes, sir."

While the civilian apprentices look strained, the knight apprentices don't look too keen on it.

"Knight apprentices should also look closely into the legend of Master Ferdinand. Seems unbeatable in treasure stealing ditters. Keep your mind tight and train because having a Lordship candidate this year will bring Aerenfest ditters to your attention."

"... I hear that Arre was a temporary glory. Besides, it's not like it was at the time, because we're ditters competing for speed."

To the weak words of Brother Cornelius, I frown muchly. Treasure Theft Ditter is a tough competition to use with skill as other knights mix in. But if we're just competing for speed, it doesn't seem like much to think about, so we should have a winner.

"Then are you able to analyze your enemies enough so that you can defeat them a little faster? If we defeat the warcraft the teachers create, there won't be so many kinds, will there?

"Quite a lot though..."

"If you're Dr. Rufen, you might say you can go with the temper or stick together, but you can't really take that and attack them all."

The knight apprentices looked at each other as surprised. Were we all making a cut attack?

"Of course we know the weaknesses of all demons and how to attack them so that we can deal with any demon being sent out, but we have about a division of roles about who attacks them and who prevents them, right? Do you try to change that regularly too and see if it really fits the fit?

"... Oh, no..."

"We don't all need to jump, we also need a role to look over and see from around us, and if we don't keep our forces warm to buy time to recover in the longer term, we don't seem to be able to take turns"

Traugot turned into a disgusting face in my words.

"I don't think Rosemaine, a Lordship candidate, will find out about the Knight Apprentice. There are no longer fights than you need to recover, so whatever demons come, hit them with all your might, and if you have time to examine your weaknesses, it's better to train them to increase their attack power."

Angelica, who doesn't like to look into it or remember it, is snorting as cocky as she agrees with Traugot.

"It's Traugot who hasn't seen the way ahead, is it? It is the Knights who defeat the Winter Lord of Aerenfest. Every year, I don't know which demons will dominate the winter, but I don't know, so I don't have a knight to tell me not to do demon research, etc."

Knight apprenticeships cannot participate in the Lord's crusade in winter. But you must have only heard of its harshness. All the knight apprentices looked at me like a little.

"It is the upper echelons of the Knights who, thinking about how quickly they defeat the Lord of Winter each year, train them not only to wash out the weaknesses of demons, but also to be able to defeat whatever demons come. It makes sense to fight thinking now about how quickly we can defeat the mighty enemy. Be clear about each role and train with constant thinking."

You don't want to think about it, I turn my gaze to Brother Cornelius, grinning bitterly at Angelica, who has become an annoying look.

"Cornelius, what demons did you hit each year, how did you defeat them, and how long did it take? If we had information on all the territories even for a year, we would have gathered information on 21 demons. If that accumulates for a few years, some territories will be knocking down the same demons, and you know more precisely how to fight weaknesses and advantages, but you don't accumulate annual information within the Knight Apprentice?

"Most of the time I can tell you by mouth, I don't do anything in particular to write it down"

In training, they're told verbally, they just stay as their respective experiences, and they don't leave them as material. I don't believe it.

"Now, write it down this year. Just remember the past minutes as well, write them all down and write all the demons and their weaknesses you can remember. There are books to accumulate and transfer knowledge. Write it, spell it, leave it and tell it, and Aerenfest will be in your favor for every generation you spend."

In my words, before the knight apprentice, the side service apprentice raised his face.

"If the Knight Apprentice leaves such information, let us also write down and share the information we absolutely need to hold a tea party, such as the type of tea and confectionery that teachers prefer. That way you'll soon find out what new information you need to look into."

"It is our job to leave it as a dossier. Can I put together an oral biography for a civilian apprentice?"

Apparently, there are a lot of things that are passed down in the oral biography to the civilian apprentices as well. We all agreed that we should organize oral biographies and share information.

"So shall we put a bookshelf in the multi-purpose hall? so that everyone can view the materials they make."

"... Dear Rosemayne, are you going to build a library in the dorm as well?

"You want about the library. I can't show it to anyone else, but there are materials that I'd like to share with everyone at Aerenfest."

Vilfleet glanced over his shoulder as he laughed and affirmed Philine's words and planned to create a book corner in his brain.

"Rosemaine, can you give me some advice?

"What is it?

"It's about the tea party with Dietrinde and Rüdiger. We need to think about measures now, more than we've eliminated."

If you see the look on Wilfried's face stiff, you'll find that he has no idea that a tea party between his cousins will be an easy one.

"It's a territory where both Arlensbach and Flavelturk are out of rank, isn't it? Does anyone have any good information? I'll buy it."

According to the information the civilian apprentices have gathered so far, Flavelturk is more in need of magic than ever, with no more magic aid from Aerenfest. One said he would be asked to resume the aid.

"Auxiliary to magic? Were you doing that?

"Yes, he was giving me and Master Ferdinand the magic of the Little Grail."

"There won't be room for that in Aerenfest," whimpered Wilfried, who has experience in filling and turning direct jurisdictions. I would love you to say the words to your parents.

"You're looking at things when it comes to flavel turks. If you smell auxiliary aid, tell me that in Aerenfest, the Lordship Candidates are so distressed that they go around their direct jurisdictions to instill magic."

"Mm?"

"If we're going to do the same, we can advise and assist, but if we're going to mock the clergy's work, I'm not going to help."

Wilfried nodded cocklessly.

"Is there anything about Arlensbach? Aub Aerenfest refused to interact with the nobles, so we don't have much information."

"I'm not sure because I haven't been very aggressive here either because I have trouble getting stuck with Aub Aerenfest"

Asked the civilian apprentices to gather them from now on, and I saw Wilfried.

"In the meantime, be vigilant with Arlensbach. Even if you feel nostalgic, don't be confused by the flutter"

"I know."

"Keep an eye out for the side servants you're taking with you."

"Yes!"

I have been informed that the vicinity of Wilfried was a hunting tournament two years ago, and I know he was removed from the next Lordship candidate. You serve on it, so you must have loyalty.

We will all defend ourselves, Wilfried laughs bitterly at the side that says.

"... Dear Rosemaine"

Rhodelich opened his mouth with a face like he had decided to.

"Why are you so vigilant about Arlensbach?

A hazy glance gathered at the question raised with a trembling voice. What is more of a gaze of what we are talking about now are Wilfried and my proximity, and the children of the old Veronicans were a gaze of agreement with Rhoderich.

Everyone's gaze shook Rhoderich's trembling hand.

"Arlensbach is a great territory, and the First Lady, Master Georgine, is not you, sister of Aub Aerenfest? I don't see why you'd be so vigilant by now. Like your brothers, Lady Wilfried, Lady Rosemayne and Lady Charlotte, can you also have a good relationship with Earlensbach? You said my father wanted to build a system of cooperation with Arlensbach to make Aerenfest better."

That's what Rhoderich said and dropped.

Even in the case of a hunting tournament in which Wilfried was fitted, I hear that Rhoderich was entrusted with the role of leading Wilfried to a white tower without being informed of the details, with the result that he was kept away from Wilfried.

I suppose he was treated well by the adults around him, but that is an irrevocable lapse for the weak intermediate, lower nobles who seek to be wrapped up by the strong. It would mean that Roderich had committed a lapse the following year after his baptismal ceremony.

Just like Rhoderich, some children may pass this information on because their parents tell them to rub it off to Arlensbach. I want to put it together beautifully just in the dorm, but it seems quite difficult.

Still, I opened my mouth that I would not be convinced without knowing the circumstances at all.

"Rhoderich, you were before baptism, so I was raised hidden in the temple, as you may not know, and I was almost exposed to Arlensbach nobility, just because I was a blue witch rich in magic. And even in the winter raids two years before I was poisoned to sleep, it was a private soldier owned by the Arlensbach nobility."

I guess they haven't been informed that they're young, the junior year kids looked at me like a little.

"... I didn't know that had happened"

"Besides, the one who took Charlotte and executed him and the one who poisoned me is different. I can tell you that I am someone else who came close to both. The other killer is still unattainable. If that person is not through with Arlensbach, who can say all about it? If there's any danger, don't you think it's natural for us to be on guard when we're attacked?

"I think"

Given the poor complexion of the children, it turns out that they have not even been given information to make a decision.

"I wish I could get along with other territories, too, if I could. I must say, however, that in the current situation, where Aub Aerenfest is alarmed by various events, it is difficult to adopt a system of cooperation with Aerensbach"

"... Yes"

That seemed convincing, and the children of the old Veronicans nodded in such a way that they could also drool.

"There are many things you can't understand if you don't know. So, Rhoderich. As a civilian apprentice, you should hone yourself so that you can get a variety of information from different places. Fortunately, there are many senior students in the House of Lords who can count on them."

Look up as Rhoderich hassled and slowly look around.

"After gathering information from all the territories, often ask how many advantages to getting along with Aerensbach lie in Aerenfest, and whether there are more advantageous territories than Aerensbach"

"I'll try"

It was the children of the old Veronicans who nodded silently with Cochri, along with the reply of Rhoderich, who had a better complexion.

dissolved everyone, and I tried to return to my room. I was summoned there by Wilfried to a small room where the two of us could talk. Even if it's small, it's wide enough for both sides to fit in.

"... Rosemaine, that's too sweet. The old Veronicans should be kept under control."

"I know that I am sweet, because I am often told. But, Brother Wilfried. I want to give them a chance to redeem and grow, just as I gave Brother Wilfried a chance to redeem and grow."

Ugh, and Wilfried and his surroundings got stuck in words.

"What wonder is it that a young child who has just finished his baptism swallows his parents' statements whole? The sins they committed are the same as Brother Wilfried's. Don't you see how they feel about having sinned without knowing?

"It's..."

"You can't possibly not understand, can you? Or, since it was two years ago, have you forgotten? Even two years ago for Brother Wilfried, my senses haven't changed a single season, so I remember clearly the expression of remorse and the words of reflection."

You're doing great, but Vilfleet dropped.

"It's impossible to suddenly trust all the children of the old Veronicans. But if you listen to a variety of opinions in the House of Lords with little parental influence and start building your own thoughts and information networks, can you also change the relationship a little? Cutting off all the old Veronicans is not for the future.... To tell you the truth, even if you cut off your parents, your child would like to take them into this faction and keep the future faction a little bigger"

I find it difficult to take in a generation of parents. I don't think it's that easy to change the mindset of those who have eaten their years. But the kid might still figure it out.

"While we are on alert, where we can take it in, will we take it in? That's hard."

"Yeah, I think it's hard. But it's up to the next lord to raise a subordinate who will support you and your territory. At least it's not my job not to be the next lord."

Kippari and I declare ourselves "not to be lords" towards Wilfried and his side. The surroundings seem to be booming these days, so it's best to keep them in bizzy tow.

"So what's the role of those who don't become lords?

"I am the temple chief, so it will be your most important task to do the divine work and run the temple without delay. Then will you organize the library of the castle to assist the next lord as the son of the lord"

"... I think it's another job to organize the library with Lords' aides."

A laugh leaked from the surroundings indicating consent to the words of Wilfried, who flaunted his shoulders.
