Ascendance of a Bookworm

As soon as I returned to the dorm, I invited Solange to the Tea Party to welcome me and say that I wanted to be a librarian, I told the side servants. Because to have a tea party, you have to get them to work on the side.

"So I want you all to work together."

"If Lady Rosemaine is going to hold a tea party, of course, we will cooperate..."

Rezelator and Brunhilde looked at each other as bewildered and turned their gaze towards Rijrda. Normally, I immediately replied, "Yes, I did," and the two of you are dull when we should start discussing the steps. I was not sure how to react, and I wondered how Richarda was doing.

"Princess Rosemaine"

When my eyes met, Richarda turned to a rugged face, and called my name. I feel what it is, a reaction like when Benno or the Cleric Chief scolds me, or the atmosphere of a precursor to lightning falling, and I accidentally correct my posture.

"With what intention did you say you would have Dr. Solange? The princess I have seen so far has tried to keep things as calm as possible and free from desolation. Is it the princess's intention to force her to obey her opponent in power this time? How would Dr. Solange feel if he made such a forceful demand, almost without knowing the other person very well in his first meeting?

I tilt my neck because I don't really understand why acting and welcoming cooking and such leads me to force my opponent to obey me in power.

"... is it the noble way to carry it and state your demands? I asked my adoptive father and Ferdinand when I behaved like a nobleman before, is there something wrong with that?

Richarda closed her tight eyes and sighed slowly.

"Not everything is wrong, but it's completely wrong now"

"I'm sorry. I don't know"

When I shook my head slowly, Richarda looked around not just at me, but at the leaselator and Brunhilde.

"Unlike its appearance, the princess is very knowledgeable and has excellent grades in the House of Lords, which she tends to forget because she is normally spent, but she doesn't seem to have enough knowledge about socializing because she spent two years blank. Ferdinand Fong's education is also biased in proportion to packing knowledge. Now you both know that, don't you?

Lieselator and Brunhilde nodded cocklessly.

"Princess Rosemayne, you said that you had made Ferdinand Boy or Gilvester and accepted your demands, didn't you?

I didn't mean it at all, but that's how it turned out. Differences between aristocratic common sense and my own made a big deal out of it.

"In that case, it's no mistake to entertain and distract and demand both of you. The princess who demands it is in a lower position for both of you, because the princess has the right to decide, whether she welcomes it or not. But the princess, who will take the upper position, will have Dr. Solange, and will stick to orders that can never be defied."

You know exactly what I have to do because I, the superior, am so heart-shattering to be able to accomplish, although the superior only means "thank you" to entertain me, but the superior entertains and demands me at the tea party, right? "Obviously a threat," or "definitely accept it. Make it clear that you accept it now," he said, turning down the exit and acting like he's going to take a pledge.

"I don't mean to..."

I was thinking about being flexible with delicious treats, hoping you'd feel comfortable accepting them, or trying to appeal to them about how useful they would be, but I wasn't going to threaten my power with a shield.

"The princess likes the basebook, she just wants to get involved in the library, and she's not going to threaten Dr. Solange.... I can see that, but Dr. Solange and those around me don't know the princess's sincerity or anything. Lieselator and Brunhilde knew their usual princesses, so they were puzzled, but if this was a side service that would do as the Lord commanded, there would have been a tea party set up where Dr. Solange could never escape"

I swallowed Gokuri and breath in the words of Richarda. I'm glad that didn't happen, half-sided reassured, is that it? and I learned to catch on a bit.

"... Um, Richarda. I asked the House of Lords if the teacher was in a better position than the student, but does that not apply to Dr. Solange?

The teacher should have been in a better position. Then would it not be a problem for me to demand it at the Tea Party? When I asked, not only Richarda, but Lizelator and Brunhilde also shook their heads.

"In front of the building, Rosemayne is right."

To Brunhilde's words, the Lieselator added the words.

"Well, if you're a teacher who's always lecturing students from an above standpoint, some of that pre-construction might work"

Especially if you are a teacher in another realm, your positions as a teacher and student may greatly affect each other because their status and positions in their respective territories are not known to each other.

"But, princess. Remember that often. Dr. Solange said that even the book's return request would be overheard, right? Do you think Dr. Solange, who was even welcomed by the princess, a Lordship candidate, can categorically turn down the princess's demands by thinking that her position is higher than that of her students?

Speaking of which, even in the earlier library, Solange refused to help me with a badly troubled face. I remember being stopped by Richarda, who saw my words and deeds.

"Me, you were making Dr. Solange so much trouble that Richarda couldn't see and had to speak."

"It's not an official place like that to serve. The truth is, before the princess bothered Dr. Solange any more, I thought I'd take her home."

It seems that Richarda came back harrowed to her own room, a private place.

"Besides, the princess said she wanted to help Dr. Solange, but this is not good either"

"Huh?"

I have been helping you ever since. Lutz, Otto, Benno, Cleric Chief, Mother, Lords and wives, etc., it was another person who had moved the basics, though I sometimes stood on the table, and I was more of a help. There's not much I can do.

"It is very difficult for a position to do its job to be helped by those above it. Imagine that. How would it feel if the princess were told that she would help you with your work, and she wandered around the office all the time, and started doing it in a completely different way than she had ever done before?

I scream in my mind when my adoptive father wanders around in the workshop, whichever mouth he gives about printing, thinking of the situation where he tells me to come up with a thought. Oh, here's the thing. Please, don't come any more! and.

"... I understand very well. My presence is not a nuisance to Dr. Solange."

"I didn't mean to say that, but for a princess, Master Zilvester is like that."

I realize that Richarda has pointed me out and spoken of my adoptive father, who is Aub Aerenfest, as not annoying, etc., and I rush to say.

"No, that's not true. I'm very grateful to your adoptive father. I don't even imagine it would be annoying if they helped me or if I could just do my job."

"I think Dr. Solange will be in that mood, too," said Richarda, laughing as I sifted and shook his head. To my annoyance additions and subtractions, I was depressed.

"If Lord Zilvester stood around, would the princess feel comfortable leaving the job to her? It's important to think about it."

My adoptive father wandered around and couldn't possibly feel comfortable working. I can't.

"... ok. The librarian gives up."

"You don't have to give up. You just have to be Ferdinand Boy, not Gilvester."

"Huh?"

"Ferdinand Fong, will you take the princess's temple chief's job on her shoulder and help her? There will be a lot of other advice, and you may be changing the work of the Temple Chief a lot to make it easier for you. In contrast, what does the princess think?

Likewise, I think of how the clergyman wanders around in the workshop and gives instructions to the gray clerics. Speaking of which, during the course of two years, I had put in Justkus, decided to send Gutenberg to Haldenzel, and had changed on my own. But I don't find that annoying at all.

"I think it helps. Instead, I would be in great trouble if Master Ferdinand did not help me."

"It's not necessarily a difficult situation for a position to be helped by someone above you. But you have to think about them in order to help. The princess is only thinking about herself right now. If I can offer you beneficial help for Dr. Solange, can you leave the job to me?

When Richarda told me, I nodded small, "Yes."

"Okay. Stop the tea party with Dr. Solange."

"No, the Tea Party is important, Master Rosemaine. I know I should go to a tea party with Dr. Solange."

"Brunhilde?"

When I blinked, Brunhilde smiled at me.

"It's still easier to accept someone with a good heart than to ask someone you have no idea about. We have a tea party to get to know each other. We need to start by deepening our interactions. I will prepare a tea party for Rosemaine."

"Brunhilde, wait a minute, think carefully"

And the leaselator lifted up his hand lightly, and saw Brunhilde and me.

"I'm in favor of having a tea party to deepen the relationship, but wouldn't it be at Dr. Solange's expense? Dr. Solange is the only one who manages the library, isn't he? What will the library do during the tea party?

My head, which was floating up in the library after the leaselator pointed it out, was sooo cold. Even though so many pieces of information have come in about Solange, it has not been taken into account at all. There is more to solitude.

If you think about it, Solange runs the library alone. Where I invited you to the Tea Party, there is no way you can participate. I don't even think Schwartz and Weiss could be the only ones entrusted with the library, so things could have happened that I had to close the library at my mercy and attend a tea party.

"Sorry, I didn't think enough of mine"

"If you figure that out, you just have to think carefully about what to do next. And, princess. Most importantly, talk to us about it. We want you to tell us why the princess wants to do that and what she wants to do so."

While Richarda says so, he kneels before me and gazes slightly from below. And he took my hand, and laid his eyes down once like trouble.

"By nature, we must draw the Lord's will and act, even if we are not told everything we serve. But we've served the princess for far too little time."

After the christening ceremony, I was adopted by my lord and moved to the castle, but I was more often in the temple after being adopted. On top of that, I have two years of blank time, so even Richarda, who has served me for the longest time, hasn't actually dealt with me that long.

"In dealing with the princess, I received a lot of attention from Ferdinand when it comes to physical control, and I keep your medication. But I still don't know what's important in service."

"Though I think Richarda has served me well?

Everything is in order for me not to have trouble living. To my words, Richarda shook her head slowly.

"As a princess's sidekick, I've only done third-rate work."

I didn't know why, and I blinked. If Richarda is third class, who is first class? Richarda stares at me with special and serious black eyes.

"It is a minimum job as a side service to be able to set up your surroundings without difficulty in life. It is third class to move as ordered without being able to perceive the Lord's intentions, second class to immediately perceive intentions if ordered, and first class to move before being ordered to perceive intentions."

"... by that standard, is Richarda third-rate?

I was amazed at Richarda's mindset of his work. But Lieselator and Brunhilde, who are listening to Richarda, look very serious.

"I have served many. The first time I served you was Dear Great Shen, followed by Dear Gabriele. I have served Master Veronica, and I have asked Master Bonifatius to serve Master Calstead. I served Master Georgine, and I served Master Zilvester."

There were also names of strangers in some of the names that Richarda cited. I guess Richarda has seen various nobles for so long.

"Regardless of when I was an apprentice until I was an adult, I am proud to say that I have had a first-rate job since I was an adult. But I can't be very complacent like that right now. Because the princess grew up in the temple, she thought differently than any noble lady I've ever served and dealt with."

Even if I intend to observe my intentions in the light of my common sense and experience, I do unexpected things and there are things I don't quite understand when I hear them, Richarda says.

"Passion to prioritize books over your physical fitness, thinking about improving grades, and action against tea parties…. Either way, I don't know what the princess thinks. I've served many different people over the years, but it's very difficult to serve a princess."

From Richarda's point of view, I'm very unbalanced and puzzling. Sometimes even adults do things that bother them sarally and place them well, and sometimes they turn right and left without knowing that anyone who has finished the baptism ceremony knows.

"I'm also in a state of hand exploring what the princess knows, what she doesn't know, what she's missing, and how to fill the shortfall."

I didn't think I was putting that much strain on Richarda. I look back on what I have said and done since I came to the House of Lords and reflect a little.

Until now, there were those around me who knew I was going to storm into the book. Lutz and the chief cleric were stopping me as soon as they tried to do something different than common sense, knowing that I had lived a life other than mine.

There is neither here, and there is no one to fix it, even if I am off. I finally realized such a natural thing. And the blood caught my attention. Experience knows that the grudges and troubles that occur due to differences in common sense increase in proportion to power.

"What scares me the most is that I do what the princess says and get completely different results from what the princess intended. If the flanking service that the Lord assists in making it easier to move fails to understand the Lord's intentions, we cannot do a good job. So, Princess, don't hesitate to talk to me"

Speaking of which, I don't think even newspapers, leagues, and ministers have been decent lately because there was no one here to say "report" loudly.

"Okay, Richarda. I want to be a librarian, but what do you think I can do? Can you tell me how to make the right demands for a Lordship candidate?"

Richarda made a difficult face at my words.

"First, please clarify what the princess demands from Dr. Solange. I don't know what the hell a librarian is. What is the existence of a librarian and what does the princess want to do when she becomes a librarian?

If you help, Schwartz and Weiss will be enough, Richarda said. During the winter months, student registration and deletion, as well as the lending and return of books and the management of carrels make up the majority of the work. Other than that, I'm turning it around for another season, so with Schwartz and Weiss, I can do the majority. During the winter months, there is no need to help the Lordship Candidates, etc.

"I was listening to the princess talking to Dr. Solange in the library this morning, and I thought from the words I could tell, the princess simply didn't seem to want to help. You've spoken a lot about the location of the book, haven't you?

I was accidentally stuck in words, pointing out to Richarda. Indeed, Richarda is right. I don't want to help Solange, I want to bring the Rosemaine Decimal Classification to the Library of the House of Lords, make an inventory to make it easier to find books, and organize bookshelves along them.

"I don't like the fact that library books don't specify the location of returns, and are properly placed. I want to sort it so it's easy to use, and I want to clarify where and which books are there, and I want to collect the missing books."

"That's beyond helping."

Richarda, as she shrugged, praised her shoulder for running the library rather than helping.

"Dear Rosemayne, I think Dr. Solange was in great trouble when he told me he helped you with that"

Rezelator tunes in to Richarda with an indescribable face. Apparently, what I was thinking was a very reckless and unscrupulous thing.

"Would it be so difficult to reform the library of the House of Lords? I thought if I got along with Dr. Solange, I'd figure it out..."

If I could be promoted to about a cheap tea-drinking friend while helping out as a librarian, Reino Era had quite a few accommodating things in the library. The request had a good time trying to prioritize the books I wanted, or having them secured so that I could borrow the returned books, but they don't seem to do the same in the House of Lords.

"If you want to be involved that much, as Lord Schwartz and Weiss, who manage the library, you will feel more comfortable asking Dr. Solange to acknowledge that because you want to be involved and run the library"

"... Huh?

"He wants to be involved in the library as Lord of Schwartz and Weiss, offering and not negotiating so that he can get permission from the center through Dr. Solange. With permission from the center, there's absolutely no problem with the princess being free in the library."

Richarda said so lightly.

Getting permission from Solange's boss to move the library the way he wants is a lot different than the librarian I think.

"The princess wants you to cooperate with Dr. Solange, not with orders, but with favor and interest, right?

"Yes."

I would like to think as I talk to Solange about how classifying books is best for the Library of the House of Lords and how it is best to manage them. I don't want to give orders.

"Then we have to be close enough for Dr. Solange to move on and apply to the center. We need to socialize for that."

I nodded heavily at the words of Richarda.

"I'll start by going to the library every day so I can get along enough with Dr. Solange to have a tea party!

"... Princess, you can't have a tea party if you're just reading a book. Keep an eye out for anything but books."

Seems like a pretty long way to go for me to officially be a librarian.

... For a while, you can call yourself a librarian.
