Ascendance of a Bookworm

Service Ceremony and Return to Castle

"Chief Cleric, three bells rang. Time for work."

"... ok"

"Don't look at me so scared because I call you once a day."

And when the chief priest came out of the workshop, I looked back. I don't like and speak up either. I'm just bothering to let you know that if I pull you into the workshop, you won't hear a bell at all.

Brother Eckhardt seems to have been shut out of speaking up because he called too many times, and he can't reach it.

"If you don't like being called to me, why don't you just make sure you can hear Brother Eckhardt?

"... you come only once a day, but Eckhardt calls all day. Reminiscent of every Bonifatius."

"Huh? Did your uncle do something?

When I tilt my neck, the Chief Cleric said, "It's over now. I don't even want to remember," he shook his head with a terribly bitter face. Apparently, your uncle was doing something to bore the chief cleric.

After getting the chief cleric out of the workshop, it is the start of your work. I sat in my usual designated seat and took out the tablet.

"Does Master Rosemayne always do this kind of work in the temple?

Compare the material piling up with me with the face that just says Angelica, who saw the work landscape at the temple for the first time, is incredible.

"It is the clergyman who is processing the temple's documents. The truth is, I am entrusted with what I, the temple chief, must do. All I can do is help you calculate, and I still can't leave it up to you to decide on paperwork."

"... No, I think it would be great to do this much calculation"

Angelica sighed with admiration as she did not like seating and became a knight. In the meantime, the Chief Cleric assigns one job after another. Those in this room are given equal jobs.

"Eckhardt has this, Darmuel has this over there, Angelica is with Darmuel..."

"As an escort knight, I will guard this door."

Hiya! and the breathtaking Angelica sticks to the door bitterly. "Even though I had finally finished seating in the House of Lords..." the chief clergyman sighed lightly when he saw how to moisten his eyes.

"Speaking of which, the fallen problem child and Master Bonifatius said,"

It's just a waste of time trying to make him work incompetently, the chief cleric said, cutting off Angelica lightly and starting paperwork.

Darmuel glanced lightly at Angelica for being truncated as "incompetent," and looked at Angelica worryingly, but the person had a distinctly hospitable face. It's no use worrying.

Angelica, who, while in this room, had only one paperwork, tightened her expression and became Jen royal in front of the door. The escort job seems to be going to be perfect.

And while everyone is quietly working on the paperwork, four bells will ring and it will be lunch time.

"Chief Cleric, have a proper lunch before you cage in the workshop."

And it came to pass, when he had cleaned up the table, and said so as I was ready to return to my chamber, that the chief priest looked at me, and narrowed his eyes.

"No, I'll check on you this afternoon."

"... Huh?

"At dinner yesterday, and as far as the movement during my duties today is concerned, I feel very slow to rely on magic equipment to recover. You haven't seen the state at all since you got back from the House of Lords.... and given your complexion now, isn't it a very bad situation?

"Oh, that's not true, is it?

I want to mislead you somehow, but I can't possibly mislead the chief cleric who took his eyes off the research for the first time. The clergyman's eyes, which raise the edge of his lips slightly, narrow slowly.

... Not good. It pisses me off. It finds out I didn't do anything at all.

I try to ask my surroundings for help, but Dermuel and Angelica turn a blind eye and ask Fran, "What do you mean by a bad situation?," he asked with a slightly chilling smile. Brother Eckhardt, the full ally of the clergyman, is unlikely to be on my side.

"Fran, I'm going this afternoon"

"Yes, I did. We look forward to seeing you."

... Fran, don't decide on your own! I haven't replied yet!?

Hey, no one's listening to me even if I argue in my heart. The clergyman's side service is "I guess the clergyman's research has come to a halt," he rejoices.

"Okay, Rosemaine. Go back to your room and finish your lunch."

While I was searching for my side to grate, they decided to schedule an afternoon without me, and I was to be examined by the chief cleric.

"The chief clergyman should do his research in the workshop. See, Schwartz and Weiss' new costumes must be rushed..."

I thought you said you should make it by the next winter.

... Ah, ahhh. Yes, it was. My idiot yesterday!

"Uh, yeah, yeah. Dr. Hirschühl will be waiting for you to fix your magic equipment, too, and please prioritize that."

"I fixed it already."

... Huh? What? Already?

"So how about braiding music? This is until I return to the House of Lords, so please hurry. A song dedicated to the goddess of light..."

"I'll do it tomorrow afternoon with your fesh peel practice. I think I might be trying to escape practice without a musician."

... I'm finding out!?

"That's not true. Ho ho ho... ho ho..."

"Rosemaine, I'm having a bad roundtrip. Today's appointment was decided. Go back to your room and pick up your lunch. Just so I can get my magic gear off by the time I get there."

"... Yes"

Leaving the Cleric Chief's room, I return to Tobotobo and my chamber. I knew I couldn't be deluded. The chief cleric will be here in the afternoon, wouldn't he never make it if he trained his muscles now?

"Fran, why did you make the appointment on your own?

When I returned to my room and glanced at Fran in an eight-point manner, Fran returned a gentle smile.

"I don't have any appointments this afternoon now that I've finished my interview with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, and I was wondering if you'd like to see them as soon as possible. I was also concerned about Rosemaine's physical condition, so I can assure you that I will see the Chief Cleric."

To Fran's words about wanting to keep abreast of the current situation, as I only know the state before heading to the House of Lords, my side of the service indicated in favour that everyone would "leave it to the Cleric Chief to be fine".

My side servants are heartbroken by the clergy who made and detoxified my Jurevé and had been in my control for two years. Maybe you trust the Chief Cleric more than I do.

It is a complete defeat. I just have to keep my mouth shut.

"The Chief Cleric will deliberately dedicate your time for your own research. That's all I'm worried about, Master Rosemaine."

You say tough things, but you're sweet, so Fran says that in a respectful eye.

... No, I'm not. I'm fucked! That's when I thought, I was a nigga. Fran's brainwashed by the clergyman!

Even if I was begged by Brother Eckhardt and his sidekicks, the chief clergyman should have let me cage him in the workshop until my strength and muscle strength recovered. Me, a great failure.

...... Heavenly Rock Door, Cam Bark!

And after lunch. In the Ordnants I have borrowed, I asked Otilier to set up an interview with Geebe Haldenzel.

Then, by Monica and Nicola, the magic equipment was removed. My body gets heavy as soon as I can, and I sit in the chair I was getting ready for.

"Dear Rosemaine!? Are you ok!?

"It's okay. Nothing."

"It doesn't look like anything."

I wanted to gently wave at Nicolas and Monica, who kept their magic equipment in their hands and peered into me with a crying face, but couldn't do it right away. Concentrate and let your magic gather all over your body, and I will strengthen you.

"Look, you're gonna be okay, right?

"... I was surprised because I suddenly became a cunt. Are you sure you're okay?

"Yep. Here."

I stand up and move and show normally. Nicolas and Monica loosened their expressions like a ho, so they normally wore clothes and waited for the clergyman.

"Rosemaine, solve the magic of physical strengthening."

The moment I come in, that's what the sighing clergyman tells me, and I deflect my gaze gently. I was suddenly finding out.

"Or something? You mean you want to be attacked so badly that you have to disarm your physical enhancement?

That was said quietly with a cold, faceless expression, and the moment I saw Starp appear in the right hand of the clergyman, I hastily lifted my physical strengthening. At the same time, Angelica with the Devil's Sword Steinluke breaks in between me and the Chief Cleric.

"Chief Cleric, suddenly it's terrible to complain about violence!

I condemned the clergyman from behind Angelica, but the clergyman only laughed with his nose.

"Don't say things that people don't listen to well. The word now means don't let it go to any trouble."

"I've never heard such aristocratic rhetoric!

Angelica also agrees and nods cocklessly when she says so while sitting on the spot because she has unlocked the magic of physical strengthening, making it hard to stand.

"I don't study enough"

He opened his eyes to the words of the chief cleric, who shook his head to tell him to do good, as Angelica, who had been my shield, hacked, "Surely I do not study. I didn't know it meant that," he withdrew.

Wait a minute. When he looked at me, who tried to impress Angelica by not leaving him lightly, the chief cleric shook his head gently.

"Eckhardt, you should train a little with Angelica in the square in front of the aristocratic gate. Angelica would be blunt packing in her room the whole time, too, wouldn't she?

"Are you sure!?

"The escort here would be nice to have Dermuel. Don't come back until I call you in Ordonanz."

"Yes!"

Angelica is happy to leave with Brother Eckhardt. What do you do now that you need a female knight in a place like the one you examine?

... Angelica's Stupid Idiot! You're too easy to manipulate!

"Chief Cleric..."

"You seem loyal to the extent that you point your sword at me without hesitation, but surprisingly you have no idea. Rosemaine, are you sure you're okay with me being an escort knight?

"... the most anxious thing I've ever done"

At the direction of the clergyman, I am held up by Fran, seated in a chair, and allowed to move my feet or my arms as the clergyman instructed.

"You didn't train at all in the House of Lords, did you?

"... I've been busy every day because of everything."

"It was a report that I went to the library every day in the second half?

"Round trip to the library was my exercise time"

"Whatever the House of Lords is better not to inadvertently show gaps, there is no first threat of raid here, so you should make a good effort to recover while in the Temple"

It was found that my strength and muscle strength had hardly recovered, and besides my practice of fesh peel, I was obliged to rehabilitate the archery of the service dance with my magic equipment on and off the magic equipment.

"It is more efficient to remove the magic equipment to assist in strengthening the body, as it will use a large amount of magic during the service ceremony. Be able to move a little on your own to do that."

"With physical enhancement, you'll be fine. I got a little better at it."

"Not necessarily okay. You're not used to it."

After such an examination, it became a tough rehab day.

My side servants, starting with Fran, are desperate for my rehab when they say to the Cleric Chief, "If you leave me here, Rosemaine will not be able to live without magic equipment for the rest of her life" and so on. I rejoice in the worry and love of my servants, but I want to speak out loud.

... The Chief Cleric just wants his own research time, guys, notice!

As per the menu made by the chief clergyman, I was made to take time to remove my magic tools and lift my legs, and move my arms. Until now, I have left the magic tools to me, and I have not moved them in a busy way, so they are neat every day.

Besides, not Rosina, but the clergyman became Feshpeel's teacher, so that the demand level could be allowed to practice with an increased gnaw.

"Ugh, I want to go home to the House of Lords soon. The House of Lords had a library, so many challenges, and it was the best environment."

"You're going to have a hard time around you when you're on the run. Your return to the House of Lords is at a critical time when there is a territorial rivalry. It's too dangerous to go back to the House of Lords without letting them learn a little bit about aristocratic socialization in the winter social world."

"Oh, that's terrible.... my library."

The chief cleric laughed niggardly at me depressed. "Some plans are a little worse," he said.

... I'm scared!

The morning of the service is busy. Cleanse yourself, wrap yourself in a ritual costume for the temple chief, insert the red and white flower hair decorations, which are the precious colors of winter, and be ready.

Since I have already removed my magic equipment today, I am practicing the magic of physical strengthening all over my body so that I can move.

The image of the magic of physical strengthening is allergic. of leather that perfectly covers the whole body like the one worn by people on motorcycles... what did you say, look, it's a full body tight. I am now wearing magical body tights.

As the chief cleric said auxiliary magic tools to remember physical strengthening, I have been wearing magic tools for a long time, and my physical strengthening has improved slightly for the cost of restoring strength and muscle strength.

"What the hell do you do with a service ceremony?

It is Dermuel who answers such Angelica questions. He explains that he will magically put his magic into the Little Holy Grail and hand it out to Geebe of Aerenfest at the Spring Prayer Ceremony. Dermuel, who worked hard in Angelica's grade-raising squad, is good at giving Angelica a chewed-up explanation.

"Darmuel is amazing. Even though I'm a knight, I can even help you with the clergyman's work. I had no idea Rosemayne's escort knights would require even computational skills."

When Angelica helps with the computational work, in general, it will be a hassle twice, so it seems to be the best help not to help. That's what my parents say.

"Angelica has no hesitation at all when it comes to protecting Master Rosemaine. I'm impressed with that. I couldn't think of anything like turning my sword on Master Ferdinand."

Dermuel, who instantly understood that it was a form of usual threat when the Chief Cleric put out the Starp, can also be described as disqualified as an escort. It is primarily weapons that are pointed at us, so it is the role of the escort to protect us.

"Angelica was drawn to training, and if she hadn't left me, she would have been a full escort..."

"I won't be confused from the next time"

Angelica replied with a crisp face, but then if you see him talking happily about his training with Brother Eckhardt and his strength, he's going to be fished again easily.

"Chief Temple, Chief Cleric is here to see you."

Called by the gray cleric, I headed between the rituals, careful not to step on the hem of my costume. Only clerics are allowed in between rituals. The escort knight will be waiting in front of the door. Brother Eckhardt's waiting showed that the Cleric Chief was already there.

When we entered during the ceremony, Kanfel, Fritak and two other blue clerics were already waiting in their hands for the demonic stones handed out to the clergyman.

"I am relieved to see you looking well"

Instead of me, Kanfel and Fritak, who had been entrusted with the help of the clergyman, said so in a heartfelt voice. I smiled and thanked the blue clerics with a little surprise, as I did not expect them to rejoice in awakening so far.

"I hear from the sidekicks that Kanfel and Fritak worked a lot harder during my absence. Thanks for your help."

Labouring the blue priests, I walk toward the altar, kneeling in front of me, I lay my hands on a red cloth laid on the floor.

"... are you ready? Okay, let's get started."

The chief cleric's voice prompted me to breathe gently.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

When I utter the words of prayer, the five behind me recite, and a low voice sounds good during the ritual.

"Highly pavilioned, the Supreme God presides over the great sky, the couple gods of darkness and light, the wide and hospitable earth, the goddess of the five pillars, the goddess of water, the goddess of Fruitrene, the goddess of fire, the goddess of Rydenshaft-style Szeeria, the goddess of earth, the goddess of Gedurleich, the god of life, Aveliebe, to bless and honor the gods, to reward and serve the grace of their noble divine power."

As I uttered my prayer complaint, it was always the feeling of magic flowing from within me. It is also a familiar sight to see a red cloth sucking magic shine and magic flow towards the altar as a wave of light.

The waves of light also flow from behind me one after the other, and my magic draws forth even more, as I gain its momentum.

... Ugh! Take it off!

It's going to flow with me to the feeling that magic draws more and more, to the magic necessary for the magic of physical strengthening that is thinly clustered around me. I opened my eyes slightly to the feeling of my whole body tights being pulled away. No matter how much I try to endure, I can't resist the strength of the magic that keeps flowing from behind me. Whether you want to use magic to strengthen your body at all, the magic that releases just flows through the red cloth in momentum.

... Ah, ah, ah!? I took it off!

The magic that was covering me peeled off, and it flowed away. It's an unexpected surprise.

... When the ritual is over, we have to rework the magic of physical strengthening.

With my cheeks on the floor, I was magical as I was drawn out.

"It'll be good enough. Seems like a lot more efficient and magical."

In the words of the chief clergyman, I found the blue clergymen exhaled in horror and stood up.

I shed my magic trying to do the magic of physical strengthening again. The magic drifts from my hand, which remains attached to the red cloth.

"The ritual is over."

To the call of the chief priest, I and my body fell on the spot.

I was grounded in kneeling and putting my hands on the floor, so I just rolled over to the side and it didn't do much damage. But my fall made my surroundings noisy.

"Temple Chief!?

"Don't make a scene. It's no big deal. I know what caused it."

To the quiet and compelling drink of the chief cleric. During the ritual he quieted with Singh.

"I will put in the temple chief's side service, so leave the room."

"Yes, sir."

The clergyman, who cast out the blue clerics and sent them to call my sidelines, looked down at me rolling and said, "So I told you it would be difficult for the unfamiliar. Fool," he said.

"Do not preach calmly in this state"

"Important things, advice, you'll soon forget. You'll need some pretty shocking situations and intense impressions to keep in your memory, won't you? In some situations, physical enhancement cannot be used. Assume that degree."

"Ugh...... As the Chief Cleric told me, I will train you seriously and give you strength and muscle strength, so help me."

"Reflected?

"I did."

After the clergyman wakes me up with help, I am given to Fran, who has changed his blood phase.

"I just didn't envisage that the magic of physical strengthening would be an unusable situation. There is nothing else in my physical condition. Don't worry, if you go back to your room and put on your magic equipment."

"Yes, I did. You can't guess what's going on with Rosemayne at all."

That's what they said to Fran in a smug tone, and I drifted with a smudge.

As I shed more and more magic to strengthen my body, the magic of filling the Little Holy Grail seems to have accumulated unexpectedly quickly. The five-day appointment ended in three days.

Even though I said I fell at the service ceremony, I just couldn't do the magic of physical strengthening with my hands on the red cloth, so I didn't get sick or fever, unlike usual.

"Aren't you getting a little tough," he said to the chief cleric, and I noticed my change. Go for a healthy body like this.

"No, there's nothing busy when you stick it out. I see a future where I'm going to train too much to fall down with the intention of gaining strength"

The chief clergyman tells the story of what it means to be too much, but to be as good as it is. I remember myself, I listened quietly to your sermon.

"It would have been good for my body if I could have continued my training here, but if I didn't know a little more about socializing, I wouldn't be able to go back to the House of Lords. I have no choice. We're going back to the castle."

"Yes."

In addition to his work set, the Chief Cleric prepared himself for a research set and decided to move from the temple to the castle. If I don't make it a little larger Lesser Bus, I won't be able to get my stuff on.

"More than half of it is at your request. I'm not complaining."

It is said that the materials concerning Schwartz and Weiss, the magic equipment of Hirschühl, the scores and the fesh peels, all of them, who have trouble keeping them in the temple, I enlarge the Lesser Bus.

When the body gets bigger, the blizzard will stir and flutter it, so it's better to be as compact as possible, but I can't help it.

"If the blizzard is about to fly in strange directions, please help me"

"Follow me on your own, as long as you shed magic. Don't take any more trouble."

"Ugh, I'll do my best"

... I want to tell your mother this reality! The chief cleric doesn't have the kindness or sweetness of a knight's story!

With that in mind, we head back to the castle in the blizzard. When Norberto jumped into the door he opened for me, the door was immediately closed.

"Welcome back, Master Rosemaine"

With that said, Norberto took my hand off the Lesser Bus and let me down. It appears that instructions have already been given, and the worker appears straw, and carries his luggage out of the wreather bus.

"Welcome back. I've been waiting for you, Master Rosemaine. Take the time to talk about the printing industry in your room."

It was your mother who greeted me at the castle.
