Ascendance of a Bookworm

Passed all lectures. I'm finally free to go to the library. It is the first free movement in the library with a chest stretched out to everyone.

Not much fun, I jumped up earlier than Richarda came to the room. I floated in the dark room and said, "Today is the library! Pray to God!" I screamed and flew my blessings, and rushed back to bed to pretend I slept.

But my side servants seemed to be meeting today in a room where they already had the tools that the side servants would use when I flew the blessing. "Princess, pretending you slept won't put out the light of blessing," he woke up with a grinning face that included a bitter smile in Richarda as soon as he dived into the bed, and Rezelator saw something smiling.

In the breakfast seats, those who accompany me to my library are sorted. Basically, the lecture is over and the one with free hands is the companion. Brother Cornelius asks about everyone's plans for the day as he eats breakfast.

Brunhilde, who has just finished his sitting class, says he wants to start preparing for the music teachers' tea party, and Lieselator said he has a final lecture to accompany Schwartz and Weiss on measurements. Haltmoot also seems to have a lecture today, and he says most knight apprenticeships are lectures.

"Right. Then your offerings to the library are Richarda and Filine. Are there only Leonore the escort knights?"

"Cornelius, I'm worried that Master Rosemayne has one escort knight, so I don't care if I give precedence to escorts over lectures..."

"Angelica, take a good lecture."

When Leonore tried to block Angelica's words and said so, Leonore turned to Brother Cornelius.

"I cannot say to Lord Rosemaine, who prays and blesses in the morning with the joy of being able to go to the library, to wait any longer. I'm all you need."

"Sure, I can't seem to tell you to wait any longer, so you have no choice. I asked you, Leonore."

"It's okay because fewer students are still finishing lectures, Cornelius"

Brother Cornelius nods once when Leonore smiles, then looks at me and beware with a face and tone that makes him say to the deaf child.

"Dear Rosemaine, in the interest of safety, promise to head to the library after everyone's lecture begins. May I? If you can't protect it, you'll be waiting until your escort is ready for you next time."

"I will definitely protect you!

... I can't wait for Angelica to be convenient!

Dropping off everyone to the lecture, after two and a half bells rang, I waited softly for Richarda's forgiveness to come out, and headed to the library.

Lectures have already begun, so there are no signs of people in the bright white hallway, and although lectures are probably held across closed doors, there are no voices to be heard leaking. Only our footsteps and floating singing sound in the quiet hallway.

"Library, Library, Place of Happiness, Ruru, Rara"

"... Dear Rosemayne, the song had a different song by the musician, didn't it?

"That's it, this is good"

The library in the House of Lords is much bigger than the one in Aerenfest's castle, and it has a lot of books and is worth reading. I can read for the first time in that library. I don't think there is any more song to sing such joy.

Incidentally, the lyrics I made were "Pray to God and then thank Him," but if a blessing pops up on its own, it's dangerous, so I voluntarily delete it and delude it with "Ruru" or "Ra".

"Leonore"

I looked up in my escort knight to Leonore, the only one recommended by intelligence. Intelligent blue eyes glow hard at the looks of a civilian apprentice.

"What is it, Master Rosemaine?

"As far as I can see, the knight apprentice apparently just doesn't like to read, but Leonore doesn't like to read either?

Looking at how the knights were yesterday, it was unlikely that there would be any knights who were very fond of reading. Is it because someone who is good at moving his body chooses a knight course?

"Based on Master Rosemaine, I can't say that I like him very much, but I'm not as bad as the other knights"

"So I'll look in the library for a reference book on strategies and tactics before the coup d 'état, or a book written about demons, so you can tell everyone through your eyes again?

In my words, Leonore said, "Though we are all putting together a lecture?" I blinked in wonder.

"It seems to me that lectures today have a thinner content on strategy and tactics than the Ferdinand and Eckhardt materials I have deposited. The library may have books about Ditter or books like Demonic Weaknesses put together. I will look for books that may be useful for the Knight Apprentice."

"Though I will try to find another escort on the day I have one, even if it does not bother Master Rosemaine?

No, Leonore says I want to find it. I want to immerse myself in the secretary's mood just a little bit.

"Leonore, never mind. Looking for books in the library is the clerk...... ah, no, because it's the librarian's job"

And it came to pass, when I said so with my breasts stretched, that everyone looked puzzled, beginning with Leonore.

"... Dear Rosemayne, what would be a librarian?

"I'm talking about a student who helps a clerk in a library in a study hall."

Again, the puzzling face around you remains the same. Filine puts her hand on her cheek, and, um, tilts her neck.

"Is it like a civilian apprentice?

"Right. I am a Lordship candidate and a civilian apprentice."

In the third grade to become a clerk, he took both lectures, and when he strained his chest, everyone closed their eyes lightly once.

"Such a big deal, there's no way I can do it, I'd like to say..."

Filine smiles indescribably as follows Richarda who said so.

"If you know the passion that Rosemayne puts in her library, you can't say it."

"You'll really accomplish it like all freshmen pass, so you'll have trouble with words"

Leonore smiles bitterly as he turns his sympathetic gaze to the accompanying filine.

"Master Ferdinand also advises me so that I can take both lectures, so I'm fine. I'll take both!

"Himesama, Kitata"

"Welcome, Himesama"

Entering the library's browsing room, Schwartz and Weiss shook their ears perfectly and came out of the work space. I seem to have noticed that voice, and Solange turns his eyes round and faces out of the office.

"Well, Master Rosemaine!?

"Good morning, Dr. Solange, Schwartz, Weiss"

Coming this way, he stroked Schwartz and Weiss' forehead, which closed his eyes gently, saying, "Praise me, Himesama," and poured a little magic into the Demon Stone, and Solange also walked out of the work space and toward us.

"Good morning, Master Rosemaine. Didn't you say you were here until you passed the lecture?

"I passed everything yesterday."

I worked hard to read the book in the library, and when I stretched my chest, Solange exhaled, ho, after pointing a confirmed glance at Richarda and Filine with the face that he was incredible.

"... I was surprised by the unexpected excellence. You can also be convinced that Schwartz and Weiss have the qualities to be the masters."

It's time for lectures to start already, so there's little sign of people in the library. This is going to be a slow read. As I gargled, I looked around in the library and stopped my gaze with a wide staircase on my left.

"I couldn't even go upstairs last time, so I've been looking forward to going upstairs."

"Oh, my God."

"Himesa, Himesa"

Are you happy to be at work, Schwartz and Weiss start walking as they shake their heads lightly left and right. The stairs that went upstairs were made of the same white material as the building, and about five adults were likely to go up side by side.

"How many books do you have in this library?

"Right. Would it be 30,000 to 40,000 to include old materials that are no longer in use and transferred to a library for storage?"

Schwartz and Weiss shook their heads as they nodded at Solange's words.

"Hey, hey. about"

"Grab this one. Guys, okay."

"You two are right, there are many books that are managed as a reference book on the ground floor. As Schwartz said, it will be about 20,000, because it leaves even pretty old things for all subjects."

They say some of those 20,000 books are spelled out on parchment paper, and some are wood tag objects. Solange said that the parchment was written by an individual and given to the library, so sometimes there are several subjects in a book mixed together.

"What do you do with a few subjects mixed up?

"What do you mean? As the book that you created, I have it. It's rare for someone so good to leave a book in the library."

"... I know you're an excellent person because you can create reference books for a few subjects, but if you have a few subjects in a book, it's hard to classify, and if they take it, there will be more than one person in need?

When I asked him if it would happen that the portion of this lecture he wanted to read was taken by someone who needed it for another lecture, Solange would have priority over the borrower and laugh quietly.

"If the final exam is closer, there will be more users, and there won't be enough carrels and books, so I wish I could keep them separately if possible. … I can hardly reach such a place."

"I am going to look through all the books, so if I can divide them into lectures, shall I divide them?

"Oh, is Master Rosemayne going to read all of this book? It's tough."

It's like you don't really care, you say "I hope so," to a child's dream, in her grandmother's face, and Soranj laughs when she creaks. I mean it.

I went up the stairs with the tricks and the sound of my shoes. A sigh of exclamation leaks into the sight that spreads before it.

The second floor also had columns and windows lined up at equal intervals, just like the first floor. Although the ground floor had a desk and chair in the indented window part between the column and the column to be the carrel, the second floor has two bookshelves, lined up on the back, and a desk part on the bookshelf itself that can be written like a writing desk. And the desk part was so that the lights came from the window.

The bookshelf was divided into three steps: a shelf that would reach if you were an adult and a shelf that wouldn't reach if you didn't stand up and a shelf at your feet under your desk, and the book was piled up. The book is chained, and I see jalali dripping.

"How lovely! It's the Chain Library!

"Dear Rosemayne, I couldn't hear you."

"It just came out of a lot of emotion. Never mind."

The Temple Library is also a chain library, but the number of books is small, so it is installed on a viewing desk with an oblique top plate so that it can be read if left open, and the book is connected to the desk.

However, in the upstairs browsing room of the House of Lords, it was chained to the bookshelf and stacked in the shelf. I'm impressed that there are as many books as I can stack up.

... wow, wow! Me, now I feel like a time slip!

Instead of putting up books and arranging them, they pile up because there are metal edges and shavings on the leather cover. When I was standing up and lining up, when I took it out of the bookshelf, I rubbed the cover of the book placed next to it, and the leather on the cover became scratched. You're protecting the book from scratches by lifting it up and putting it next to you and taking the book.

And parchment swells when it contains moisture. The book is often fitted with a leather belt to prevent it, but stacking the book keeps it from swelling with weight.

... I've never seen it before, even if I know it in my knowledge! As much fun as I want to dance out! What should I do?

If I could be a librarian here, I must be able to share my troubles with the old scribe or think about the evolution of the library, which I have only read in the book. Tension keeps rising.

... The Chain Library has trouble involving chains of bookshelves when there are more books, or problems with books and browsing machines depending on the sun?

The time now seems to make it easier for desks on the south side to read from the east, but I can't travel with books tied to chains. If you want to read in a bright, easy-to-read environment, you just have to go and read for the right time. For this reason, it was not uncommon for people who wanted to read the same book to bowl together at just the same time, and they sometimes got into fights over which to read.

"What shall we do? What do you do when that happens, Dr. Solange?

Solange gave me an extremely light answer when I asked him with a groan.

"It depends on who you are, so it won't happen. If you are of the same rank, the superior territory takes precedence"

...... WHAT!?

This is tough. I have never had such a great interest in the ranks of the territories. I'm sorry to hear so much about it, so let's raise it, it was about as much interest.

But if the priority of a book or browser has to do with the ranking of the territory, it's not the story.

"Whatever it is, you have to rank Aerenfest higher."

The moment I tried to get serious by involving the entire Aerenfest dorm, Richarda gently slapped me on the shoulder.

"Princess, please calm down. Few take precedence over the princess of the Lordship Candidate, and senior aristocrats and Lordship Candidates often rent books and read them in their own rooms. They rarely fit in a bowl."

"Really..."

I got serious and motivated. But for the sake of time, I think it's better to keep Aerenfest ranked.

My eyes were nailed to the chain library, but I glanced around the entire second floor, and there were about a thousand books in the form of books, only for what was stacked on a desked bookshelf installed along the wall.

The central part, slightly away from the bookshelf at the wall, is lined with shelves with rolls, shelves with wooden plaques, and barrel-like containers that are slightly larger and keep rolls sticking out of the shelves. At the same time, there were several writing stands lined up to read the scrolls, even sideboards for placing ink and pens.

After looking at the bookshelves arranged at equal intervals on the ground floor, I get a slightly cluttered impression. As I walked in it, Solange gave me an explanation.

"This one holds some of the research results of our historical teachers. A lot of old books, such as scrolls and wooden plaques, are not in the form of books."

Basically, it's secrecy, so there doesn't seem to be many teachers who want to go public. After the teacher's death, materials no longer needed by his assistant are often donated, apparently.

They still have a little more scrolls, but that's because some teachers have trouble making materials into book form. It costs money to form a book, and it takes time and effort. For this reason, they come in quite infrequently in the form of books.

Hirshur probably writes like he wants to and feels like a scrollist who wraps around and saves.

... Scrolls are easier to make than booklets, but it's hard to read them back.

It takes a lot of work to find pages, rewind them after reading them, and clean them up. It's not like a good book if you turn it apart, close it with a pattan, and close the belt.

"I try to get as much research as possible into the form of a book as the royalty has recognized, but it's difficult."

"You have a limited budget.... Dr. Solange, what about that statue? I've never seen it in the temple."

Solange broke up when I turned my gaze to the stone statue between the bookshelf and the bookshelf. Just like the building, the white statue of the goddess holds a book decorated with gold and demonic stones as important.

"This is a stone statue of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom with the gluthris height in her chest. The library has the patronage of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom, so we're gathering copies of the students."

Like the library in the House of Lords, the Royal Palace Library seems to have a statue of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom. It wasn't in the library at the castle in Aerenfest. Shouldn't a statue of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom, also be installed in the library of the castle as soon as possible to pray every day for more books?

"From which book will Master Rosemaine be read?

"... right. We'll start with the book on the ground floor. There will be many books with similar content, so it will be easy to classify and organize."

"Is it classification or organization?

Solange blinks. I nodded heavily.

"That's right. For ease of use, we want to organise it, if possible, by subject, by academic year, chronological order, etc. Some subjects have changed their lectures dramatically after and before the coup, so divide the bookshelves about it, like... Would you mind if I classified it?

"I don't mind that..."

While reading from one end, I would like to summarize bibliographic matters and think about taxonomy.

... Oh, but I want a seal if I'm going to classify it.

Once classified, I want to paste the classification number. You'll need a seal to do that. Although glue is available, it is made from pigs, which may cause mold to grow or rot.

I want better material for the book.

... I'll ask the Chief Cleric when I get home.

By next year, we'll be making a seal and classifying it using the Rosemaine Decimal Classification.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. You seem to be burning a lot of enthusiasm for organizing the library, but you can't let a Lordship candidate do that. If you say how you want to divide it, we'll consider it here."

Classify at my mercy. Then we cannot let that task be solanged. If only I had permission, I would do it for me.

"No, I want to be a librarian, so please let me do the classification work."

"And? What?"

"Himesa, I don't know. Tell me."

Schwartz and Weiss gently pulled my sleeve.

"We call the students who help the Clerk of the House of Lords a librarian. I will help Dr. Solange."

"Himesama, Himesama"

"Every day"

It was Solange who turned bright blue on the words of Schwartz and Weiss. I gently opened my eyes and shook my head like I was in a panic.

"No, I can't let Master Rosemaine do that. Am I not an intermediate aristocrat and Lord Rosemayne a candidate for lord? I can't let you help me."

"But I also take a lecture on civilian apprenticeship to become a clerk, so I'm also a civilian apprentice."

"... but I can't let a Lordship candidate do that."

Richarda came out to sigh before Solange, who shook his head as he sifted, and looked at me.

"Princess, don't let your own self bother Dr. Solange."

"... Yes. I'm sorry, Dr. Solange."

I didn't think it would be hard to dismiss you as a librarian so far. Solange is cutting up the library by himself, so I wish I could help more, but he doesn't.

"I will only give you a kind desire to help Master Rosemaine"

... It's not just the tenderness, it's the pure inferiority of wanting to mess with the library a lot.

It was rejected, so I quietly decided to back off and read the book on the spot.

Ask Schwartz and Weiss to prepare the carrel for me and Filine, tell Richarda, prepare the paper, pen and ink, and start reading. Lots of them, so well worth reading.

On the ground floor of the library of the House of Lords is most of the material used in lectures. Although there are many books with the same content, there are considerable differences in accuracy, the beauty of the letters, and the accuracy of the drawings, depending on the person who wrote them. Commonly used precision books are informative, with some annotations and memorandums written.

As I was reading the bibliographic matter together, it was lunch. The pages of the book are illuminated and hacked with stained glass-like light.

"Let's go back to lunch, princess"

"Yes."

I asked Schwartz and Weiss to clear the book and return Carrell's keys. Then he decides to stroke the demonic stones on Schwartz and Weiss' foreheads to replenish the magic a little before returning to the dorm.

"Please come again, Master Rosemaine"

I'll be back in the afternoon.

"I look forward to it."

I also greet Solange, and I walk towards the dormitory.

... How can I be a librarian?

Though I have been rejected by Solange, I have not yet given up on becoming a librarian. Um, and worried, Richarda exhaled a deep sigh.

"You really don't have enough social studies for the princess"

"... what does that mean?

"It's a favor in the library earlier. I don't deserve that kind of favor as a Lordship candidate."

... the way the Lordship Candidate deserves a favor?

This is how the harm of two years comes out, next to what Richarda says, I was desperately thinking about the noble way of asking. How would it be nice to ask?

I remembered and struck my hand, thinking of all things.

"Richarda, let's invite Dr. Solange to our tea party."

"... what happened to you all of a sudden?

I laugh, uh-huh, at Richarda for keeping an eye on me.

When I created the Italian restaurant, I had no idea, but it was conceived around me that I was trying to accomplish demands in my favor by taking care of my adoptive father and the clergyman. The chief cleric was impressed that he could do a lot more like an aristocrat, so you can apply that this time.

... have a tea party and welcome Dr. Solange with a delicious treat and I, will definitely be a librarian!
