Ascendance of a Bookworm

For the tea party with Solange.

After being scolded by Richarda, I also headed to the library in the afternoon after lunch.

In the meantime, I recall a lot of attention. To avoid running wild with emotion and packing too much distance with Solange, it was a good thing to discuss the content of the conversation in a day and just put it in my mouth on a topic I got passed by Richarda.

And when I got back to my room, I decided to study conversations and socializations between nobles by paying attention to what Richarda was concerned about today's conversation.

A good question to ask Solange this afternoon was to see if he had time to attend the tea party and if he was attending someone else's. He said he shouldn't pack any further distance today.

"Himesama, Kitata"

"Welcome, Himesama"

"I came to read more earlier. Will you give me the keys to Carrell?

Welcomed by Schwartz and Weiss, I also greet Solange, who is in the working space.

"Good day, Dr. Solange. I apologize for the inconvenience I caused earlier. I can finally come to the library, and I think I'm floating too far. As long as you're embarrassed."

"Never mind. I am delighted to know very well how thoughtful Rosemayne is in the library."

Solange, who was writing something, looks up, grins and smiles. I exhaled ho for accepting my apology.

"I can't come until 3 bells ring from tomorrow. It's my first library today, and my musicians have given me permission, but they're telling me that I shouldn't go to the library until I finish practicing fesh peel tomorrow. Sorry to hear that."

After breakfast, we are supposed to practice fesh peel after a day of meetings with the sidekicks and putting together the results of the performance improvement committee's activities with Wilfried due to the passing of seats reported the day before, which is the same as when we are in the temple until the bell of 3 rings, until then it is forbidden to go out.

"Speaking of which, I heard Dr. Solange is managing the library by himself, but won't he be attending or hosting a tea party?

"Yep. I don't have many users at this time of year, so I can spare some time, but if I start to spare the students, I'll be busy this time. So as well as attending a tea party, we don't have a tea party."

Sometimes I took turns participating in times when there were multiple scribes, but with that said, Solange looks at Schwartz and Weiss and loosens his expression.

"Schwartz and Weiss are helping me now, so it's so much easier to work with, and the loneliness is lost. I am grateful to Lady Rosemaine."

... Good. I didn't just cause trouble.

Schwartz and Weiss set in motion are by-products of floating and popping blessings, and it is Schwartz and Weiss who are helping Solange, and I am not particularly helpful myself.

Still, I was wondering what I would do if I had only left a bad impression, so I was at least a little bit horrified that I had helped against Solange.

"Me, I'd like to take a moment to talk to Dr. Solange, but don't you have time? I need to talk to you about Schwartz and Weiss, or the book I'm trying to make."

"Are you making a book?... You really like books, Master Rosemayne"

I smile and nod at Solange, whose eyes are round.

"The bard's singing knight stories and the stories that are told from mother to child in Aerenfest are all in the book."

I've already done it when it comes to knight stories, I print them and sell them, but I'm not lying because I'm currently collecting stories in progress. In the meantime, in order to interest you in a tea party with me, I have tried to shake a topic that Solange, the secretary of the House of Lords, might be interested in.

"Well, does Master Rosemayne prefer stories, not just reference books? There are not many of them in this library, but there are also books of stories."

"Is it true!? I'd love to read it."

"Now let me show you around"

Solange walks loosely out to the corner of the shelf, where the reference books on the ground floor are sloppily lined up, with an old collection of materials that are not often read. While guiding him, he was taught that not so many students read the story because the majority of students read reference books for the final exam or get money by photographing for advanced nobility.

Since the House of Lords is only winter, I guess most students get stuck with their appointments in the curriculum and socializing, and can't afford to enjoy reading their hobbies for a long time.

"There are stories around here. Some of them have written scriptures, if you don't mind."

"I'm afraid so."

I called out to Schwartz, and when I borrowed the carrel for myself and Filine, I asked Richarda to carry the book in which the story was written, and I began to look through. And I'll summarize bibliographic matters and alas.

It's a knight's story, so the big lines of going to defeat demons are the same, but there are friendship stories of the knights, warfare stories desperately fought by the knights of the small territories targeted by the big territories, and so on. It's just that the words are old and hard to read. And did you write while asking the bard, some parts of the text are a little broken and difficult to discern?

"Dear Rosemaine, it is a little difficult for me. You haven't studied enough."

Filine was trying to put it together the same way, but she couldn't seem to get on with reading the body. I read scriptures that have more small and difficult rhetoric than knight stories, so I guess it's hard for Philine, who didn't find it so elusive, but started studying from an easily rewritten scripture picture book and isn't used to old rhetorical books yet.

"I have fixed all the books I make to be easy to read, but from now on you also need books that you can study so that you can read even the old ones. Civilians can't seem to read old materials, so they'll have trouble working in the future."

"Right. I'll try."

This day I read the knight's story and the day ended. I decide to borrow one of my knight's stories and go home. I would like to make a new story about this.

"Weiss, I need this lending process"

"Okay.... Himesama, Hokken, Daikhinka-san Mai"

"Richarda, please"

"Yes, sir."

I was the first to hear it was equivalent to a book, but it's still expensive. I'm impressed with the beauty of Reina-era libraries that lend me for free. I would like to express my gratitude and prayer to the great Langanathan, who enacted the Five Principles of Library Science.

... you have to expand your print to be able to lend for free, right? On the road, far away!

The following day, Brother Cornelius and Haltmut were also to be added to the library offering. When we talked about the knight's story in the library, they were surprised. Apparently, he didn't think there were any books other than reference books and the teacher's research results.

"Aren't there supposed to be a collection of House of Lords materials in the library of the House of Lords because the library of Aerenfest's castle is filled with materials necessary for its work? I think the commonly used reference books are just placed on the ground floor in an easy to use place for students to grab. In fact, the story was in the corner of the ground floor."

When I said that, I said that if Haltmoot had any material for the territorial rivalry, I would like to see it. Brother Cornelius and Leonore shine their eyes when they hear Hartmoot say that the achievements and demons may be withheld.

After finishing Feshpeel's practice, after three bells rang, I took the students interested in the library to the library with me.

Good morning, Himesama.

"Good morning, Schwartz and Weiss"

"Do you really like Himesa?

"Yep. I love it, so I come to the library every day I can. I'm returning this, so please complete the process."

Schwartz and Weiss also worked hard and stroked the demon stone on their foreheads, and the students of the other grades who had not accompanied them at the time of registration voiced their surprise.

"Was it true that there was rumor that there was a big Schmir in the library"

"How cute. You have to invest in making new costumes."

Listening to the conversations that are exchanged in a whisper, I leave the return process to Schwartz and Richarda to turn back to Solange.

"Good morning, Dr. Solange"

"Good morning, Master Rosemaine. So many of you are here today."

"I have the material I'm looking for, so I wanted to ask Dr. Solange where it is"

"What is it?

Haltmoot advances out in front of the neck tilting solange.

"Do you have any material on Ditter? I want the kind of material that keeps me from knowing which territories beat what demons."

"Ditters are also often done in training, so we don't have any material written down about all the ditters. However, before the coup d 'état, there was a lecture on Treasure Stealing Ditter's strategy, which seems to be somewhat in the old reference book. And then you'll find a statement about the top of the territory matches in a summary of the top performers each year."

Oh, and Haltmut and Brother Cornelius looked at each other and let their eyes shine. I think the old reference book will suffice with the material of Brother Eckhardt and the Cleric Chief. What I want is a statement about the top of the territorial rivalry.

"Dr. Solange, please show us the material for the territorial rivalry. What bookshelf is it on?

"Master Rosemaine wants unusual material, doesn't she? Although students look at all the copies to make money and all the references to lectures."

With that said and laughing, Solange turns his back on us.

"Browsing rooms prioritize references that students often use, so they keep materials for recording and preserving purposes in a separate library. Please wait."

From the warehouse for materials behind the office, not the browsing room, Solange brought me carefully spelled materials. Seeing the material that is apparently dealt with differently, I look up to Solange.

"... Is this possibly a forbidden material?

"Right. Lending is prohibited. Because I would be in trouble if they didn't return it. But there's nothing particularly wrong with what you see in the browsing room."

"I'm afraid so."

As soon as I tried to receive the material which was thickening, Haltmoot came out from the side to receive it.

"Dear Rosemaine, I will copy this material. Besides Ditter, we have some other information we want."

"Well, I'll ask Haltmoot,"

"I need your help, Philine."

It takes too long to reflect everything on your own. Looks like Haltmoot broke up with Filine and decided to write it down.

Haltmoot gives Solange a troubled look after looking around the library.

"Dr. Solange, I'd like a slightly wider table to write down for more than one person, do you have a desk other than Carrell?

"... upstairs would also be possible to transfer them side by side, but that is a forbidden material, so I would like you to write it down as far as possible in the eye. I'll lend you a table for registration in my office."

Solange leads Haltmoot to the office, saying that all territorial freshmen have completed the registration process, so it's all right now.

"It helps. I'll make a quick photo."

Guided by Solange, Hartmoot, Filine and the other two enter the office. As Haltmoot glanced through the material, and decided to share, the Philinees were quickly preparing the paper and ink I had supplied.

Solange comes out of the office smiling at the four of them, notices us still in front of the work space, and looks around with a pleasant smile.

"Was there anything else you needed?

Leonore, once face to face with Brother Cornelius, took a step forward.

"Um, do you have any material on demons? It would be very helpful to see how the Warcraft is hunted around here and how strong and weak they are."

"If you're looking for a book other than a reference book, it's in a scroll upstairs. It's an old one, but it's a material written by a teacher who specializes in creating magic equipment, and it's detailed. Looks like they were made to collect materials."

With that said, Solange goes upstairs in a leisurely move. "I'm in a strange mood because I rarely ask for guidance on this kind of material other than the teachers," Solange laughed, as there really seem to be few students looking at the material upstairs.

Students who are likely to remain assistants in later House of Lords are said to be conveniently used as teachers' assistants from school onwards, to help carry materials and to be told to read books from here to here. Looking at the movement in the library, Solange seems to understand that this student will remain in the House of Lords as it is.

"Many students do not try to know that there are books other than reference books. In the House of Lords, we tend to prioritize socialization over study."

Studies alone can be done in their respective territories, but it cannot be done unless it is the House of Lords that deals with those in other territories. They say that socializing is a priority. They used to have more study-keen students than they do now because they were given a stamp when they graduated.

"Nevertheless, at a time when the House of Lords has not yet begun for a month, Aerenfest has a lot of good students who can't believe that so many people are not going to lecture and come to the library"

Solange made his way to the desired shelf without hesitation.

The scrolls piled on the shelves are very similar to the way they are loaded with cloth wrapped around them at the handicraft store. Like the price tag on the cloth, there was also a small wooden tag dripping from the scroll, so it looked more similar. The tree bills have a little bibliographic matter written on them that allows them to discern the contents.

"This way."

Solange, who was checking the bills in one shelf after another, took one scroll and pulled it out. And it sets me up on a writing stand for reading scrolls. The scroll can't be written in circles, so the writing stand for reading the scroll has a hold on it.

"It's very easy to understand because it also has a picture on it"

The scroll the old teacher wrote about demon trees, not just warcraft, but also paintings that could never be described as good. I want to read this later, too.

When I widened the scroll, I was going to be able to see two descriptions of the demon, so I was going to write them down on the left and right of the scroll's writing stand. Since demonic information requires a knight apprentice, one knight apprentice begins to prepare paper and ink.

"Can Leonore photograph it for me? It's more beautiful than I am."

Brother Cornelius says so and tries to leave the task of copying to Leonore. "I don't mind..." Leonore muttered, then stared up at Brother Cornelius.

"Does Cornelius not like paintings?

"To be honest, I'm not very good at it"

I look at Brother Cornelius, who shyly missed his gaze a little, and the look on Leonore's face, who giggles all the time, is terribly soft.

... Is that it? Could it be that Leonore is about, like, Brother Cornelius?

So when I remembered my conversation with Leonore, who was finally concerned about rumors about Angelica's dowry, I struck my hand with Pong.

... Leonore doesn't want to be a lady like your mother, he wants to be the First Lady of Brother Cornelius!

I gently support Leonore in my heart. As strange as it may be for me to say, the clan starting with my uncle has a very strong influence on the man side. Because it's a family line that strengthens your body before you think about it, I'd love for Leonore to work hard and also invest in intelligent activities.

It seemed that everyone had found the book of purpose, so I decided to go back to the ground floor and read from the continuation of the story.

From that afternoon, Filine heads to the practical moves, and the escort knights are replaced by Leonore and Traugot as well. Brother Cornelius and Brother Traugot were rubbing a little because of which one would do a copy about the demon, but Brother Cornelius was going to do it.

I saw a little bit of what Brother Cornelius would paint later, but I wasn't so bad at anything. If I am not humble with that, my painting level may be quite low.

"Dear Rosemayne, I'd like to talk to you once and for all."

On my return from the library I was called to Solange. I was content to read many books, and for a moment I was about to lean my neck, and I was hacked. Speaking of which, he said he wanted to talk to me.

"Dr. Solange can't leave the library, so why don't we have a tea party in the office? If the teacher doesn't like it, I will prepare the tea and sweets so that they are not borne by you, but I will bring them."

"... I am very helpful, but is Master Rosemayne okay?

Solange turns his surprise gaze more to Richarda, a side service that keeps him busy with the tea party than I do. Richarda nodded lightly.

"The princess has spoken to me. This is the result of thinking about becoming a princess about how to reduce the burden on Dr. Solange. If you do this in this office, Dr. Solange's intentions are our top priority."

"I really wanted to invite Dr. Solange to my tea party, but the teacher would be busy managing the library by himself, wouldn't he? So I thought," Why don't we get some tea and sweets ready for a picnic and bring them here? "

At first, Richarda surprised me. I was told that I would not normally, such as bring in tea or sweets and just rent a place. Still, when I politely explained to Richarda what I had thought about what I could do to reduce Solange's burden, she figured it out.

"I only thought about what Dr. Solange is busy with, so I..."

"No, that would help. So, are you sure you want to be sweet with Lord Rosemaine's words?

"Yes!"

Since there will be more users on Saturday, I decided to have tea with Solange the afternoon after tomorrow, in line with the convenience of Solange, who said that the day before that would be good.

"I didn't expect to have a tea party with Dr. Solange ahead of the tea party with the music teachers," Brunhilde rounded her eyes as she returned to the dorm quickly to inform the side servants of her tea party plans.

"It's for Dr. Solange's convenience. I'm worried about Schwartz and Weiss, because more students use them than usual, so I want to have a tea party early."

Richarda tells me not to appeal to the guts about wanting to be a librarian this time, but to aim to be close.

First, at the Tea Party, we have to decide when to schedule measurements for Schwartz and Weiss. Then he wants to take a handwritten manuscript of the nearly made and ask about Solange's hometown and the stories he knows.

"Master Rosemaine doesn't look so nervous, so depending on what you think, maybe you're glad we had a tea party with Dr. Solange first"

I leaned my neck against Brunhilde's words as he strained to disseminate the fashion at the Tea Party. Solange seems to be in the shape of a cage in the library during the winter, and doesn't seem to interact very well with the other teachers. I don't think the tea party with Solange has much to do with outgoing epidemics.

"Doesn't it mean that even if you are caged in a library during the winter months, there is also interaction with teachers in other seasons? Now Dr. Solange was getting information about Aerenfest's first-year grades. So it's not like there's no AC at all. Before the tea party, which takes place nervously in front of a large number of teachers, you will see the reaction of the central nobility, and you may have your opinion on costumes, hair decorations and treats"

Brunhilde said there should be some reaction to Aerenfest's culture with a sense of central aristocracy, and that would likely also put some measures in place for a tea party with music teachers.

"I'm going to be Dr. Solange with stories about Schwartz and Weiss costumes and books."

Brunhilde narrowed his eyes slightly to my words. Once he turns his gaze to Richarda, Brunhilde gives in a little and gazes at me as he tells me.

By discussing my lack of social knowledge and experience, my servants became aware of me.

"Dear Rosemayne, the topic is something to prepare you for as much as possible. Besides, if you're not conscious and ready for the topic, Master Rosemayne is going to finish the tea party just by talking about the book. Don't forget to talk about anything other than the book. Dr. Solange is an intermediate nobleman, so you will smile and listen deeply to Master Rosemaine's story. That's why you have to be very careful how they react."

"... Yes"

Rezelator also nodded with worrying eyes at Brunhilde's attention.

"Master Rosemayne tends not to see the surroundings when it comes to books," Wilfried also told us. Remember your elegance as a lord candidate and be able to act rationally....... it's ok. It is not impossible for Master Rosemaine, who led your sister to graduation. I believe in Lady Rosemaine. "

"I'll be careful"

I have a sore eye full of expectations and trust from the reseller. I would like to come to the Tea Party after I have put in place enough measures to avoid failing.
