Ascendance of a Bookworm

And tea party day.

I brushed my hair glossy with a phosphor and had it tied to Brunhilde. Hairstyles and costumes incorporate the fashion of the House of Lords, but flower decorations can be worn prominently. There are hair decorations and flower decorations on the chest so that you can catch your eye even when you're drinking tea.

Of course the treat to bring to the tea party is Katorkar, this time I don't know Solange's preference, so I had the plain stuff prepared.

"I really don't have any information about Dr. Solange. I'm pretty sure you're not having a tea party with anyone. I didn't recognize Dr. Solange as my tea party partner until Rosemayne suggested it."

"If I had time too, I would have gone to the library and slowly got information from our guests, but I couldn't afford that either. However, I don't think I was seen as the person to interact with, as Brunhilde put it, and I missed spending so much time alone. I hope your tea party with Lady Rosemaine is comforting."

As a side service, Brunhilde and Lieselator tried to get information about their tea party counterparts, but they didn't have any information about Solange, not only inside Aerenfest, but also the other side service apprentices.

"Cattle curls are served on a plate and prepared to be eaten with cream, honey and Lutrabe jam and lumtopf, any flavor you like, so you should get some information from now on"

If you know your preference, you can also make a cattle curl to go with it. The tea was also prepared this time to suit the cattle curls. I have to listen carefully during a tea party conversation. They say it's my job, too.

Richarda looked at me as she fingered and confirmed what I would do during the tea party.

"Princess, you have it in mind when it comes to the topic?

"Yes."

"Then you shouldn't use a bookboard today. I'm taking a civilian apprentice to refrain from conversation."

It is Filine who stands with a much more tense face than I do. For the first time, Filine is tasked with working as a clerk. Haltmoot is also supposed to help, but some tea parties are forbidden for men, depending on where they're going. I have to get Philine to work hard.

"Philine, it must be tough, thank you"

"Dear Rosemaine, I've never had a lot of such expensive paper, and my hands will tremble"

I give Filine the failures of the workshop I use as a note sheet. Although I believe it is an effective use of paper that did not become a commodity, it seems very unlikely to Filine.

"... but you must have paper and ink to write it down, right? You can lend me my bookboard, but if I'm not used to it, I can't determine the size of the words or the words I can write."

I can't write so much because I hold the book board with one hand and use it to take notes.

There's nothing like a clerk refraining from taking notes at the original tea party, but this time I'm going to schedule a measurement for Schwartz and Weiss, and the clerk is going to accompany me because I'm going to take a manuscript of the knight's story that I'm about to put together and get Thoranges' thoughts.

It's pre-construction, and the real purpose is to get Filine to gain experience as a civilian apprentice, and to write down Solange's reaction at Brunhilde's request.

Based on the reaction at this tea party, we are going to think about how Aerenfest students are going to appeal to the epidemic at the Tea Party ahead, and how we are going to catch the attention of others, both civil servants and sidekicks.

My proximity takes everyone and also Rosina to play music. It's a tea party in the executive room connected to the browsing room, so it's really up to Solange to decide whether or not to play, but it's also rude not to take him.

"... have you forgotten anything?

I will check again in front of the front door. The wagon that Richarda is pushing is packed with sweets, tea, and other things she needs for a tea party. Brunhilde is looking at me to see if there are any problems with the position and costume of my piano, and Filine is reviewing whether there are any shortages in the stationery she has.

The escort knights and haltmuts, who I know have reviewed many times already, looked at each other, clapping their shoulders.

Look at me checking my fingers, and Wilfried shakes his head loosely.

"Richarda is confirming, so it will be fine. I'm more worried about socializing than forgetting things."

He looks at me in a way that Wilfried has been harassed. It seems that the cousin's tea party, in which Wilfried is decided to attend, is still ahead of us, as it will be after the cousins have completed some lectures.

Wilfried, who told Richarda that it was my weakness to lose sight of the surroundings when it comes to books, and that I have no social experience due to two years of blankness, both today's Tea Party and the Tea Party with the music teachers seem more nervous than I am.

"Brother Wilfried, we've decided what we're going to talk about, so it's okay."

"I'm sure you'll be fine, but be careful not to get alarmed."

"I know. Don't worry, there's also Richarda."

I'm ready for some sweets and tea too, when the 3 bells ring I'm off.

"Welcome, Master Rosemaine"

"Thank you for inviting me. I know, Dr. Solange. I was very excited."

I was sent to Solange's office. The tables and chairs used for registration are set to tea party specifications. On the spot was Solange and another, a woman who seemed to serve the side of Solange.

While me and Solange were greeting each other, the side servants began to prepare for the tea party quickly.

Filine is told by Haltmoot to have a meeting about where to put the ink, how to make a note. The escort knight moves apart near the door and into those who follow me.

"Himesama, Kitata"

"How about today?

Schwartz and Weiss entered the office through a door connected through the work space. The golden eyes turn toward me, tilting my neck.

"Yeah, I'm having a tea party with Dr. Solange today. You may also make decisions regarding new clothes for Schwartz and Weiss, so in the meantime, good luck with your work"

"Good luck"

"Awful Fukushi"

Giving Schwartz and Weiss the magic that came close to greeting him, he shook his head and headed back to the browsing room. I watched Solange smile.

"Um, Dr. Solange. If you're concerned about the browsing room, you can leave the door open..."

"No, Master Rosemaine. Now that we only have a few users, I'm more concerned about the smell of sweets and tea in the browsing room."

Laughing with Couscous, Solange dropped off Schwartz and Weiss and closed the door with patari.

"What shall we do with the music? Wouldn't the sound leak into the browsing room?

The white building is basically soundproof, but the doors are made of ordinary trees, so the sound really leaks.

Seeing Rosina and Feshpeel, Solange, who was slightly inclined in the neck, narrowed her blue eyes with pleasure.

"... Lady Rosemaine will play a rare song made, won't she? You want to hear one song. I can't attend any other tea party."

It's been a long time since my heart has bounced, and I glance at Rosina with modest elegance.

"Now let's show Dr. Solange the song we were going to show at the music teachers' tea party later"

"Oh? Are you sure?

I laugh and nod at Solange, who rounds my eyes. I didn't promise to perform a new song with the music teachers.

"It's a song dedicated to Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom. I know the library deserves the first disclosure."

... because the lyrics I originally attached are more correct: Library Hymn.

The closest people to knowing the lyrics that I was singing floating around to be able to go to the library made me feel comfortable laughing.

"If Lady Rosemaine would like to, please let me listen to that song after I get you some tea"

"Yep."

Solange's side service prepares the chair for Rosina. Rosina also began to prepare for Feshpeel.

Richarda makes me some tea, and Brunhilde lines up the plates with cattle curls and creams to accompany them, etc.

Solange blinked in wonder as he compared the cattle curls placed before him to the accompaniments lining up with more and more.

"Master Rosemaine, what is this? That's a rare treat."

Again, treats like cattle curls seem rare in the center. Brunhilde's candy eyes sparkle. I will explain Katorkar as I deliver to the edge of my sight how Brunhilde is about to feel a reaction.

"It's called Katorkar. It's a treat I've started doing lately at Aerenfest. I'm glad it fits Dr. Solange's mouth. Well, it's a little different from the central treat..."

If you're used to the sweet treats in the center, you might feel the cuttlecurls without flavor.

"This is how you serve cream and jam to your liking. I tried to prepare raw cream, Lutrabe jam, honey, lumtopf"

"Lumtopf? Is that something specific to Aerenfest, too?

"It's soaked in alcohol to preserve fruit, so you might have something similar. It's just called Lumtopf in Aerenfest."

Staring at the finely carved Lumtopf, Solange nodded several times. In Solange's hometown, it seems winter support will be to leave sour fruits like lemons soaked in honey.

"You should try the first bite as it is and add whatever flavor you like."

And I showed them every bite of tea and sweets, and I also recommended them to Solange. Solange sips his tea and carries Katorkar to his mouth.

Staring curiously at how it would be received by the central nobility, Solange laughed nicely.

"It's very easy to eat with a light palate."

Katorkar is a pound cake that also uses plenty of butter, so the palate is not a light treat. However, the more light you feel about the cattle curls, the sweets in the center are sweet with sugar hardening.

For that matter, the central tea is a bit bitter. Today's tea is made into a soft flavoured tea according to the cattle curls.

"The central treat is very sweet, so if it's not sweet enough, you can add jam or honey."

In the meantime, eating and showing one bite at a time with all the accompaniments that prepared me, I was asked to take raw cream and rumtopph.

"You want to try each flavor. I'm very excited to see how things change."

The side serve of Solange is accompanied by a little cream or jam. Solange ate one bite at a time and blew his face happily.

The central treat is very beautifully crafted, but if you pick one or two, they'll still be better.

"You could eat as much as you want."

What Solange liked was honey and jam. After all, it doesn't seem sweet enough for a central aristocrat. A cattle curl with honey might suit your mouth better.

"Master Rosemayne has always had unusual hair decorations, but is that also something that started to fashion in Aerenfest these days?

I've never seen Aerenfest students wear it before, Solange said. I gently touch my hair ornaments with my fingertips.

"My exclusive needle is making it for me. It was my christening ceremony that I first showed to the nobility of Aerenfest. Recently, among aristocrats, it has finally become used not only as a hair decoration, but also as a costume decoration. Seems like it's hard to make and not many more."

The Gilberta Chamber of Commerce is in a state of monopoly, so even though it has been fashionable for several years, it cannot be said that it is growing in number.

"It's a very cute thing. There seem to be a lot of ladies in the House of Lords who care."

I bring my own hair decorations for the appeal of hair decorations. With various hair decorations close to daily, the ad tower seemed to function safely.

"If there's a lot of people interested, maybe we'll go up to the subject at the Lords' Conference?

When it comes to buying and selling goods, it is a round throw at the Lords' Conference, as it will basically be a territorial and territorial discussion. Since it is difficult for children to decide between themselves, all we, the students, can do is advertise towers for new products.

Show the real thing through the tea party or just offer it a little free and just appeal. The actual purchase comes after the lords have decided to talk to each other.

"It will undoubtedly rise to the subject of the Lords' Conference. This is the first time I've seen a three-dimensional flower ornament like this. I think everyone will keep an eye on Rosemayne's hair gloss and flower decorations. Does that hair gloss have any secrets, too?

"I use a phosphor when washing my hair. This one seems to have spread quickly to aristocratic women with a high interest in beauty, so I hope to become a specialty of Aerenfest that didn't have any notable specialties"

Unlike Aerenfest so far, Aub Aerenfest is working hard to make a good place, I said.

"Of course, as a Lordship candidate, I intend to support Aub Aerenfest to the best of my ability."

I ask Rosina to play fesh peel because the conversation while eating sweets has come to an end.

A song dedicated to Mestionora, goddess of wisdom, sounds high and clear with a pin is played in feche peel and sung in the beautiful voice of Rosina.

As a result of leaving the lyrics to Rosina, the word library has completely disappeared.

... you've gone from a library hymn to a normal god hymn.

Though, the song to the Goddess, which is deeply connected to the library, made Solange listen with great pleasure. Moisturize your blue eyes with gratitude and look at me.

"It's wonderful, Master Rosemaine. There are few songs dedicated to Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom. I am very impressed."

"I'm glad you're happy with Dr. Solange, too"

There were a number of songs dedicated to the Supreme God and the Great Goddess of the Five Pillars, songs dedicated to the Goddess of Art, and songs like the military songs inspired during the battle, but they were really few dedicated to the Goddess of Wisdom.

Solange is so happy for me that I just want to decide in the meantime.

"Dr. Solange, it's a measure to make Schwartz and Weiss costumes, but when would it be convenient for the teacher to do it? Again, it's better as soon as possible, right?

"... it would certainly be more helpful to have an early eye if you would consider my convenience. Because there are ladies who come to the library these days to see Schwartz and Weiss"

It used to be, and Solange has a tender grin to miss the old days. Schwartz and Weiss have long been popular with libraries, apparently.

"Where should I take my measurements? If it's better not to move Schwartz and Weiss too much, I also thought about doing it in this office..."

"Schwartz and Weiss also use a lot of expensive demon stones, and a lot of amulets to keep them from being taken out. It's better to take measurements in a well-managed environment than here."

In the words of Solange I was stuck in words for a moment. As far as I'm concerned, I'm afraid to wander around with Schwartz and Weiss, but if the Lord asks me to do it precisely under his control, he's right.

"So do you mind if I take you out to the Aerenfest dorm?

"Yeah, of course. Those two lords are Rosemayne. Please make a new costume that suits both of you"

"Actually, I have some costume proposals. Which costume do you think Dr. Solange would look good in?

When I turned my gaze to the reseller, the reseller gave me a piece of paper putting together a soothing costume proposal.

"We're going to let Schwartz dress as a boy and Weiss as a girl. It's just as clear to wear flower decorations and armbands as I do..."

Solange looked at the costume proposals, all of which were adorable, and broke his mouth. Solange said he wanted the two of them to be careful about putting too many trinkets on it so that it was easy for them to work.

When Solange took office, when he first saw Schwartz and Weiss costumes renewed in the Lord's place, he said the costumes were pretty much served with hats, brooches, etc. Because he's cute, he said his sleeve was a long flicker with the Lord.

"But whenever Schwartz and Weiss move to work, their hats fall off, and they lose the big gold coin, which is a security deposit on their sleeves in the lending process, and it's a big deal"

"Well!"

"Until we had a new costume, Schwartz and Weiss didn't try to take off the costume that the Lord gave them, so we rushed to make a new costume, but in the meantime we needed a scribe to keep an eye on them. Since the disturbance, the two clothes have been set at sleeves to the elbows."

I was told to worry about not getting in the way of my work, and I reviewed the costume proposal. The focus is on cuteness, so it looks like you should rethink it a little bit.

"Speaking of which, I asked Dr. Hillsur that he would not touch Schwartz and Weiss except the Lord, is it okay to measure?

"If the Lord has given permission in the place where he is, it is okay to touch him. However, be sure to identify the person who will give you permission. Because being touched by Schwartz and Weiss means being able to be stolen or destroyed."

"Right. I'll be very careful."

... Especially for Dr. Hillsur!

Setting the measurements for Schwartz and Weiss three days later, I took out a near-written knight's story to change the subject.

"This is how the bard summarizes the stories he tells and the stories he can tell to his children from his mother. Don't hesitate to let me know what Dr. Solange has to say about many books."

When I give him a bunch of dozens of pieces of paper, Solange says, as surprised, "You've put this all together often," while only his eyes follow the story seriously.

"It must have been hard to gather all these stories, right? How the hell did you do that?

"I asked everyone to help me. The kids grow up listening to each other, so if you talk to each of them, that's a lot of them."

Exactly, I scratched the lending of teaching materials to bait, I can't say. I smile and recieve.

"Can we sell these stories?

"... what do you think? It's a story that young children prefer, but when it comes to senior year in the House of Lords and dealing with adults, it might be better to talk differently again."

"It's certainly time to think about books for adults. Let's also suggest to Aub Aerenfest."

Until now, I have made pictorial books as Camille grows, but in order to create a child in the House of Lords who can say, "My hobby is reading," I also need books for adults that kids of this age can stretch out a little and read.

Even if it's a knight's story, why not elaborate more on the scenes of the battle based on the demonic information we've gotten during this time, weave together information that could be a tactical tip for Ditter, and create a story dedicated to romantic relationships for girls?

As I turned my thoughts around, Solange returned me a manuscript of a knight's story that I had finished reading. Happily, when I receive the manuscript, I hand it to the reseller who had refrained from doing so on the side.

"Dear Rosemayne, you have a lot of unusual things in Aerenfest."

"I'm new out of Aerenfest, so I don't really know, but if that's what Dr. Solange, a central nobleman, said, maybe there's something unusual. What things do you think are changing?

Solange slowly looked at me from his head, as I twisted, wanting to hear the opinions of other realms to appeal to the upcoming Aerenfest.

"Hair lustre, flower decorations, sweets… all sorts of things, but what bothered me the most was the paper that the civilian apprentices at Aerenfest have. It's not normal paper, is it?

"Yeah, it's a paper made using a different method than parchment paper made from animal skin. I'm in the middle of growing up as the new industry responsible for Aerenfest from now on. It is characterised by its ability to produce more in bulk than parchment paper. We want you to know that we have new paper this year."

Of course, my job is only to appeal. The contract on trafficking is a round throw to the Lords' Conference. In the meantime, just let them know that there is a piece of paper out there other than parchment. I want to know how much response, my adoptive father said. The presence of plant paper and ink is informed, but the presence of printed material is still a secret.

"New paper can be a lot cheaper than parchment paper, but you have to separate the ink, so it's not that cheap yet"

"Oh, the ink is different, too?

"It's not like I can't use ink for parchment, but given the long term storage, ink should be changed. Although there is nothing particularly wrong with either ink with a memorandum"

He seemed interested in plant paper, so he kept quiet about the methods and ingredients and opened his eyes as Solange did a little when he explained the advantages and drawbacks of introducing plant paper.

"Do you use paper for the memorandum!?

"... I use a lot of paper because I get a failed paper in a workshop run by Aub Aerenfest"

Fran was, of course, very surprised at first that Richarda and the others were "wasted". But since I use it without caring, the surroundings seem to have gotten used to it. For a long time I was so surprised that I was more surprised.

"Parchment is what we use for formal contracts, and we use this new piece of paper instead of wood tags. Instead of a wooden plaque, you can write on this piece of paper, and you can have tons of space on your bookshelf."

"That's nice. Securing bookshelves is a big problem for libraries."

"If Dr. Solange seems concerned, I'll give you a few. Because if you don't think about long-term preservation in decades, you can write without any problems with regular ink."

I handed Solange several sheets of paper. Interestingly Solange touches the paper. Looking at the plant paper seemed more interested than the treats and hair decorations, 4 bells rang.

Oh, and Solange looks up and looks to his side of the service.

"Well, 4 bells have rang already?

"Yes, Master Solange. It's time."

"Looks like the thread spinning of the day for the goddess of time, Drefangua, was done very smoothly. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll be free."

The tea party is over.

If we don't clear it up early and get back to the dorm, the neighbors won't be able to make it to the afternoon lecture. While the servants gracefully but quickly clean up, me and Solange exchange farewell greetings.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a good time. Thank you, Lady Rosemaine."

"I have also heard valuable stories about Schwartz and Weiss. I think it was a fruitful time. It'll be hard to get time, but I'd love to have another tea party."

"Right. … let's hope Rosemayne completes her lecture again soon next year"

I am content because Solange rejoiced that I enjoyed the tea party for a long time.

The proximity also seemed to have some thoughts on how the Aerenfest epidemic would be received. However, since we could not afford to talk at length, the detailed discussion decided to set up a reporting area again and we rushed back to the dorm.
