Ascendance of a Bookworm

I compress and clean up the magic in my body properly so that I can move normally, and then I reach for the bell on the side table on my pillow. You noticed the sound of motion with the thighs, and Richarda came into the tent before ringing the bell.

"You've finally noticed, princess. I didn't wake up for two days and I was really worried. I asked Ferdinand Boy with a heavy back so many times that he finally needed me here..."

Reporting that Justkus had fallen over too excited, he said after pressing the demon stone in the sky, let it go until the magic in his body settled down, the chief cleric told Richarda. Still, he's been asleep for two days. I can't help but be stunned by how excited I am.

At the same time, I thought about what would happen if I had already woken up when the Chief Cleric came here after being summoned over and over again. The sheriff's grumpy, extreme face comes to mind, and I can imagine a storm of novels, and suddenly the blood draws me away.

"Richarda, I, I want to lose my mind again. Hopefully, until Lady Ferdinand is here."

"What are you talking about, princess? We're all worried about you. If the magic is calm, they say it's fine, so let's head to the dining room for dinner."

As we headed to the dinner table, everyone looked back at this one in unison.

"Dear Rosemaine!

"Did you finally wake up? My uncle replied," Don't worry, I'm just worried. "

"What happened to the tea party?

Over dinner I asked about the aftermath of my fall.

Richarda wasn't in the Tea Party room because it had a goudrone on it, and she gave instructions on the back. If Richarda had given instructions to the side servants to give out the additions to the treats, Goudrune came with me unconscious, and when he gave me over, Goudrune said he didn't know what was going on inside because he took it back at the end of the tea party.

"It's better to be an organizer, but you can't enjoy tea and chatter while you're swallowing."

He planted the perception that my frailty was exposed to the Lord's Candidate present and that if I touched him inadvertently, he would fall, and the Tea Party was immediately dissolved.

"The hardest part was Master Hannelore. Make sure you apologize later. I was desperate, but I was crying."

Hannelore, who had fallen after holding his hand, seems to have panicked, not knowing how to do it anymore. Equally traumatizing about me, it seems that Vilfleet, remembered for his panic state, desperately comforted Hannelore and his side.

When I ran hand in hand at the first meeting during the baptism ceremony, he dragged my consciousness on the way, interrupted it and let it fall, telling stories about when I was about to let him die in the bloodbath, and how he lost his mind when he hit several snowballs in a snowball battle, saying that all his alumni and the knights who were on guard around him had turned bright blue. "It's common for Rosemaine. It's really shocking to those around you, but I don't want you to get sick because you're flat like nothing happened when you came back to consciousness".

They also saw where I suddenly lose consciousness, so everyone nodded forcefully at the words of Vilfleet and said, "It's not Lady Hannelore's fault, so I don't care".

Still, he still shrugged, "Maybe it's my fault," so he sent me to Dunkelferger's dorm, explained what happened today, and politely apologized for startling Hannelore.

"We apologize for the inconvenience"

"They didn't regain consciousness for a whole two days. It's time for a Territorial Fight tomorrow.... Nevertheless, why the hell did you fall this time? I don't think I did anything in particular..."

In an attempt to answer Wilfried's question, "I fell too excited about the book lover and adorable Master Hannelore," I realized once again.

... If I say this as it is, I don't look like a pervert? Maybe we should fix it up some more. Um, excited to be your friend? No, no, I'm too happy to be your friend?

Worried about what sounded good, the low beauty of frozen spines came down from the top.

"I'd love to hear more about why you fell, too."

"Fe, Master Ferdinand!?

Unexpectedly his voice turned, and his heart shrunk so astonished that when he looked back at Ba, the chief cleric looked down at me with an irritating caged eye. Behind it was also Brother Eckhardt. The sheriff's golden eyes said, "What the hell have you done to me in this busy time?," he tells eloquently.

"I need to wake up for two days. Richarda called me over and over, and I had no choice but to come and see if I looked much better, Rosemaine"

"The princess just woke up before dinner."

In Richarda's words, the chief cleric, exhaling gently, pointed to the door.

"I'll hear more about it in the meantime, so come"

"Um, but, Master Ferdinand. Tomorrow is a territorial battle, and I'm ready for everything..."

When he turned away and refused to put the novel behind him, the chief clergyman glanced around the dining room and glanced at his shoulder.

"You don't have to worry. You're supposed to be absent."

"... Huh?

"Rosemaine doesn't put it in territorial rivalry. This is Aub Aerenfest's decision. Talk about it, too. Side service would be good if there were Richarda and Justkus. So that Rosemaine's proximity is ready for a confrontation."

Remaining dismayed by the proclamation of the Chief Cleric, I turn to the private room for discussion, so that Richarda may push me on my back. Brother Eckhardt stood before the door, and entered the room, me and the chief cleric, and four men, Justkus and Richarda.

"Please check on the princess before we talk, Ferdinand Boy"

"I know. Come, Rosemaine."

As I walked towards the clergyman, who sat still in his chair, the clergyman touched his neck or his wrist and began to look into things.

"Sounds like the magic is already calming down. Do you know for yourself what happened? Yustox's report speculates that he was excited to borrow the book"

"... roughly fits"

I was so excited about my first book-loving friend. Because books are originally rare and expensive here, few people are accustomed to reading. I like books, my personality is good enough to make friends easily, and I don't feel like finding girls the same age ahead of me. Hannelore is to me a friend who must not be left behind.

"I was excited about my book-loving friend, I prayed, and Yustox stopped me, and I just put up with thinking that prayer and blessings are no good at a tea party. I was desperate and patient, but the magic that had already been unleashed in the back ran around my body like this, and I thought, oh, it was dark in front of me."

"Looks like you've exceeded your tolerance. Approximately as expected. This is all the magic that's calming us down, so let's get this over with."

The chief cleric sighed that the problem was friendship. I remember Hannelore when I was asked what kind of person he was.

"I'm like Hannelore from Dunkelferger, but she's cute as a 'rabbit' and a book-loving princess. I promised to borrow the book next time. I can talk to your friends about books! Oh, too much fun!

"I'm too excited, you idiot"

He immediately turned the Demon Stone into another, as the clergyman, who drew me in gleefully and pressed the Demon Stone on Beh's forehead, said so badly and seemingly troublesome.

"Shouldn't you stay away from that friend? I'm losing consciousness again."

Apparently, he's in a pretty excited state. Seeing the demonic stone quickly changing color, he shook his head with a sigh as Richarda said "no treatment" when he spoke out "Ah".

"Lady Hannelore must have been in great trouble because the princess had fallen? Perhaps it's better to stay away from them too close."

"... please don't say such a terrible thing because we will try not to get excited. I'm your first book favorite friend."

"Maybe you've never had a friend who liked books before?

In the Reino era, the directions were different, but I had a few unusual friends, each with a strong taste, but I haven't been there since I became mine and since I became Rosemaine. Even for Lutz, who has been making books together, the book is a product and not something he enjoys reading.

"I've never had a friend who started living here and liked books. The books are too expensive and few even aristocrats have many."

Filine got along by making books, too, but junior aristocrats and lord candidates are different. You can't talk to each other the same way and borrow books. It's nothing more than taking in your side as a sidekick.

Philine also admires me, but I have trouble with coarse phases, so I don't come any closer than I am constantly looking at my surrounding reactions. I will only be your companion.

"But Master Hannelore is a Lordship candidate for Dunkelferger. You must have a lot of books. I have to make one book after another so that I can lend the same to Hannelore."

"You're not going to calm down at all for a while. Richarda, don't let the magic of Rosemaine overflow, you should suck it with demon stones every time you get excited"

The shape of the leather bag placed on the desk making noise with the cottonry makes the shape of the demonic stone float. I found three large demon stones inside.

"That's right, Master Ferdinand. Why am I absent from territorial rivalry? I'm fine now."

"From Justkus' report, you've always been the source of the commotion, so I've decided it's better to keep it in quarantine before things go wrong. Territorial rivalries are Aub from other realms, as well as royalty. I fell flashy the other day at a tea party you held yourself, so it's less bothersome for the surroundings to stay asleep."

Territorial rivalries are sports festivals and cultural festivals, if you say so in Reina-era school life. I mean, it's like a school festival. It is the biggest event. It's terrible not to be present at that. My dissatisfaction must have been on my face, the clergyman sighed as if he had no choice.

"Rosemaine, this territorial rivalry will also be an outpost for the Lords' Conference. To be honest, I don't want to put you out there with a lot of uncertainty and anxiety about socializing. I want you to get a little more social skills and strength before you do. Are you confident that Aub in the other realm can talk to you and respond without doing so? Can you stay conscious until the end without suddenly falling like a tea party?

I sighted quietly with the chief cleric's golden eyes, and took a breath. There's no way I have the confidence to do it without it. I just saw Justkus holding his head during this time as well.

"... Is my socialization so terrible?

"It's largely done, Yustox said. I can socialize on the surface. But sometimes, they say things pop up that make them want to say they don't understand why they're heading in that direction. I guess that's because you're completely different. Common sense, it works on a foundation."

They're still off common sense here. But to be honest, I don't know where or how it's off. I don't understand where to watch out because I don't know where it's off.

"Ferdinand boy, the princess will be working very hard with this little body. He scores so well that I don't think he has been immersed in Jurevé for two years, he has a service ceremony, and he's socialized. What more do you want from a sick princess?

The chief clergyman opened his mouth with the usual faceless expression as he looked at Richarda, who had come forward to shelter me from the puffiness and idleness.

"Rest. Rosemayne gently crossed where Aub Aerenfest was requested before entering the House of Lords. To be perfectly honest, we're past our expectations. I had no plans to deepen my interaction with the royal family, and I had no expectation that I would be able to make this many connections with the upper territories. I have trouble being connected at this rate with royalty and other realm aubs, not just students in tomorrow's territorial rivalry. I can't follow those around me any more. Therefore, Rosemaine asks to refrain from making contact with royal and superior realm aubs and to rest his body"

With that said, the chief cleric shifts his gaze to me.

"Maybe you're tired of preparing for territorial rivalries and socializing as much as you fall at a tea party," Yustox reports. I thought about your physical condition and brought a few books so you could get some rest, do you want to go on a territorial rivalry?

"Huh? Right. Me, I'm not feeling well yet... I sincerely think it would be better to stay quiet in the dorm with Richarda."

...... Yikes Phew! Forgive me for reading all day.

"Dear Ferdinand, I don't mind absenteeism, but what will happen to my proximity? We would like everyone to attend the territorial rivalry because of the projected shortage of manpower"

"Oh, I'll stay in the dorm as your watchman, so I don't need your side. As long as we have Richarda, we'll figure it out for a day or so."

... Huh? With the Chief Cleric's surveillance? I don't need it.

It's going to be more sermon time than reading, and I think about what I can't manage to keep an eye on.

"Didn't Master Ferdinand want to see a territorial rivalry? Don't mind me watching the game."

"This time, as your guardian, and I was planning on watching the Territorial Match to assist you in the negotiations with the superior territories, it seems to be quite a hassle."

"Yes?"

And behold, I leaned my neck firmly. I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

"Justkus told me something that made my head ache when strange legends about me were up. I was told that if I showed up poorly against the territory, it would be a big deal, but what the hell did you do?

... Oh, the Ferdinand legend.

"Don't blame me for anything. The fact that Dr. Hirshur referred to me as Master Ferdinand's apprentice only led to the conduct of Master Ferdinand as a student being spoken of in the House of Lords. I don't deny that it's not just the facts, I'm irrelevant, although I don't deny that many acts are mixed up into a hell of a legend."

"I heard it was the princess who made us gather the conversation because we would be talking about it at the tea party..."

"Yustox, shh!

It was almost at the same time that I rushed to shut him up and I was stared at by the chief cleric.

And after I was thundered by the chief cleric, it naturally became bedtime as soon as Yustokus burned his care as a side service to the chief cleric, and Traugot was left unattended, or the chief cleric was checked regarding the preparation of the territorial confrontation, pointing out the sweet spot, or thought the dorm was a little bumpy.

The night dawned and the day of the territorial rivalry. Long time reading day for me.

Everyone has finished their early breakfast and is very busy preparing for themselves. I've been smelling sweet from the kitchen for days now. Cut off cattle curls are being prepared in large quantities.

Most of the baggage that arrived one after the other from Aerenfest was used for territorial rivalries, and there was a sweet smell that seemed delicious from the box filled with cattle curls. When the side-service apprentices check their luggage, they give instructions, and the people who work underneath carry their luggage.

Wilfried is already on his way to the arena where the territorial rivalry will take place and seems to be giving instructions on the ground.

The civilian apprentice had the clergyman and Justkus give him precautions about presenting the exhibition, which he had written down with a serious face. "Probably throw out the announcement and jump into the dorm to talk about the research, so don't talk about my presence to Dr. Hillsur" was the chief cleric's most important precaution.

The knight apprentices have also exposed their demonic weaknesses and ways of attacking them, going out of the dorm from a different door than the front door, and receiving some lectures from Brother Eckhardt, who was responsible for rookie education outside.

Brother Eckhardt said satisfactorily that students who are aware that they are not collaborating at all are easier to handle than unconscious newcomers. I can honestly take the teaching, so if I can work out for my uncle in the spring, he's going to grow a lot next year.

Beginning with Mr. and Mrs. Aub Aerenfest where they are getting ready with the butterflies, the parents of the graduates keep coming. Wearing a vibrant costume for socializing, we head to the stadium where the rivalry takes place so that we can make our way through the dorm. Since we are all graduates of the House of Lords, we don't seem to need guidance either.

"Rosemaine, are you finally awake? Rest in the dorm for the day. Still not looking good."

"Thank you for your concern, I know, adoptive father"

I'm glad to see that reading is planned, and my complexion is better than usual, but if Aub Aerenfest says he's "pale," he's bad. I am off.

"Ferdinand, Rosemaine, please. Don't you both get out of the dorm."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as I thought the guests watching the game had passed and got quiet, the knight apprentices returned to the dorm. They're going to have to move to the arena now.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I ask you to bless me?

"Everyone, kneel down. I give you the protection of Angrief, the god of martial arts."

When Zach aligned knight apprentices kneel, they drop their heads quietly.

"Best regards, Master Rosemaine"

It was Angelica, the finest student who said that.

I nod lightly and magically into my right hand, and when I put out the stamp, I lift up my right hand, and magically do as I always do.

"May the god of fire, Lyden Shaft, be with his family, and may the god of martial arts, Angrief, be with you all."

The blue light that jumped out of the starp poured down on the knight apprentices.

"I hope we can look around, work together and achieve the best for Aerenfest so that we can make some use of what we have learned"

"Ha!"

When everyone goes out, I relax in the multipurpose hall on the first floor reading the book the clergyman plugged me in.

Civilian apprenticeships and Justkus are quiet except to come in and out from time to time in order to ask for the instructions of the clergyman.

As well as the reports that Justkus is compiling, the clergyman looks at the materials that Vilfleet and Charlotte's civilian apprenticeships and Hartmoot and others are compiling. Apparently there were challenges I was putting out through Justkus as a civic education.

3 bells rang and immediately began to smell the delicious smell of lunch from the dining room. After a while, the clerks and sidekicks come back to pick up a substitute lunch. They say we have to take it while we take turns.

"This year is tough, Master Rosemaine"

"I've never seen this many customers in Aerenfest before"

The students back for lunch are excited to tell us about the territorial rivalry. Schwartz and his researchers at the center are stopping by with their eyes shining, and Hirschühl is happily explaining and excited to make predictions about what's still going on where the hole is.

Finally, they are also exhibiting a Schmir-shaped horseman as a new horseman that I conceived. Apparently this one catches the woman's eye with a complaining that she can ride without changing into a horseman's clothes.

"Even though I wasn't there, it felt like Rosemayne's name was all around me."

"There was also the Knight Commander of Dunkelferger. Where is Lord Ferdinand's loving apprentice?"

Well, I didn't seem to be the only one who thought. The clergyman I was listening to with became the subtle face I had in mind. Perhaps someone of his generation and chief clergyman cotempered him in a vicious maneuver?

"You seemed right not to watch the game."

"Lady Rosemayne is still lying down, so the Lords' Candidates of Classenburg and Dunkelferger have come with their respective protectors to bring their treats. Aub Aerenfest is dealing desperately with it."

... Wow, adoptive father, fight!

While doing so, the knight apprentices came in at the same time. They say our battle is over. Every face except Angelica looked at me with a subtle face far from sunny. I blessed you, but couldn't I?

"Brother Cornelius, how was Ditter's grades?

"Not yet as a ranking, but compared to previous mock fights, we were able to defeat them fastest"

"That's not a sunny face."

In my words Brother Cornelius slowly sighed after seeing his face with the knight apprentices.

"It was Grune who came out as an opponent, and I wondered if Master Rosemaine was using that as a horseman, a little..."

"What kind of warcraft was it?

"It was a fierce, stinking warcraft."

"... Huh? Does it smell?

The voice of the chief cleric echoed as I stood with him, saying that I might not like it a little bit.

"Next time you talk about Grune, when you're done for lunch, help the sidekicks. There are too many customers in there to even say no."

The knight apprentices jumped out as soon as they started to move like a hack after lunch.

Since the dining room has calmed down a little, me and the clergyman are also at Richarda's service for lunch. Eating, the chief cleric said potpourri.

"... thinks I've done something wrong to you"

"What is it?

"That's what I forbade you to attend today's territorial rivalry. I can't even make it to the award ceremony."

According to the chief cleric, the competition for the territorial rivalry itself seems to be over by the bell of 5, with the announcement of a year's top performers after the bell of 5 rings.

"It was in Hirschühl's letter that you would be the best freshman. Originally, I was supposed to get immediate compliments from the king and everyone praised me for absenteeism at this convenience."

"... I'm glad I'm absent. I can't talk to a king right now."

It's horrible just to think about what crude phase it would be this time to have an Aub and his wife from all the territories, with royalty in line, honored as the best and talking directly to the king.

"I wish I could be in a territorial rivalry next year, but I'm just trying to figure out a way to educate you. I don't know what to do about your common sense or the basics of thought being different from ours. I've been trying to teach you."

"The princess has some neglect for the common sense of the nobility because she grew up in the temple, but we just have to get used to it there. The backlog of years is important.

That's what Richarda, who is serving, said with a gentle laugh.

"At the end of the baptism ceremony, a year and a half as the daughter of a lord. After that, you spent two years asleep in the House of Lords, didn't you? Given the time spent in the temple, the time spent by the princess as a nobleman is probably about six months. Coming up."

The clergyman, who remembers exactly the details, began to finger and count the days spent in the castle as a nobleman.

"Seems like more than six months, but certainly a lot of time spent as a nobleman. Even the temple educated me, so I didn't feel so short..."

"A castle with only nobility is different from a temple full of those who are technically not nobles. You won't get the idea of nobility in the temple. Because noblemen are the only ones."

"I see."

"Ferdinand Fong suddenly asks for results, but it's something that takes time for people to grow up. Slow down a little bit."

A few bells rang and everyone came back. As the Chief Cleric said, I seem to have taken the best of my freshman year. In my stead, it seems Wilfried has received it. The vilfried also said he was chosen as a brilliant man.

Although there were a few outstanding students in other grades, many seemed to finish the exam with excellent passing scores, and Aerenfest cautioned to consider the scores as well as the speed of finishing the lecture. It's going to be a challenge next year.
