Ascendance of a Bookworm

face-to-face with a civilian

At the end of the spring feast, the nobles return sequentially to their land. Before doing so, they shall meet face-to-face with the civil servants involved in the printing industry and with the deputies elected by Geebe involved in the printing industry.

The day after the feast, I was supposed to head to a face-to-face meeting with a civilian involved in the printing and paper industries.

But our engagement announcement, which came out at the end of the Spring Suifest feast, made it as noisy as a hive.

That would be natural, too. For those who clustered around Risegang to push me up to the next lord during the winter, so did the information gathered during the winter. We have to re-gather information on how our engagement will change our future forces.

And even for those of you who are former Veronicans and do not feel comfortable with me, the engagement story is like my decision to get deeply involved in the centre, and it should be necessary to discuss how I decide to move.

By the time I had finished breakfast, a large number of requests for visits marked as urgent had arrived at me, and the side servants began to turn right and left. No matter how many important people ask me, I cannot respond. They're stopping us from getting involved with our parents.

"Me, I need to ask Aub Aerenfest first how to handle this, so please don't say no to everything regarding the interview"

"Princess, it's not just someone you can easily turn down."

Richarda skewed the sender's name. There are a lot of kinship names that have been credited by the clergyman as "being rosemary". I need a meeting before the meeting.

"Dear Ferdinand, what can I do?

Flying the Ordnants, I decided to throw the deal round to the Cleric Chief. The answer that came back was that when I had finished face-to-face with the civilian, I would return to the temple. Conveniently, winter mitzvahs and spring baptisms are held. When I am resurrected for two years, I must do the divine work as head of the temple.

... I don't think I'm lucky to get away with trouble. He's the temple chief. You have no choice, do you? Hey, hey, hey!

"I will return to the temple after today's face-to-face meeting. I'm afraid I can't see you. It's really painful..."

"Princess, please look a little sorry"

When Richarda said so, leaving the task of putting no in the letter of the request for a visit to Brunhilde and Otilier, senior aristocrats, he began to make his way to the face-to-face with the Lieselator. Sooner or later, they'll be left to the leaselator to go out to a meeting place full of civilians.

"We hear that there are many intermediate to lower nobles involved in the printing and paper industries. Regardless of your boss, with senior aristocrats, your surroundings are nervous and your work is not complete."

That's what Richarda said.

By the way, today I am also in formation as a civilian apprentice. If you don't gain experience as a civilian apprentice, you can't be a civilian. If you can't be a civilian, you can't be a secretary.

As a matter of fact, the clergyman offered me hope that I would want to work in the castle library if I were to do my internship anyway, but I was pissed off by the "fool". Tapping tongues and temples, he said, "What is the head of the business of expanding the printing industry saying? Your internships are assigned to the paper industry and the printing industry," he said.

... I also promised Lutz, and I want to do everything in my power to grow the paper and printing industries!

"Philine, let's work together."

"Yes, Master Rosemaine"

Laughing at Filine, who will be at work for the first time as a civilian as well, Filine nodded with a slightly nervous face. Getting a room in the castle gave me more time to deal with it and I feel a little closer to Filine.

"Haltmoot already had an internship in another department, so as a civilian, would he be a senior? Tell me all about it, too."

"If there's anything I can teach you.... I just don't think there's anything in particular I can teach you about the paper and printing industries. Instead, would I be in a position to beg for teaching"

Haltmoot laughed bitterly when he said so.

Side service is Richarda and Lieselator, and the escort knight takes Dermuel, Angelica and Eudit.

I asked Brother Cornelius and Leonore to gather information during the meeting. They're both relatives of Risegang, so if you leave them alone in the castle, they're likely to come closer from over there.

Mother had already arrived when she took the Lesser Bus to the main building and entered the room where the face-to-face meeting would take place. Instead of luxurious costumes as usual, he puts emphasis on doing his job and wears civilian attire with not so flickering sleeves.

From the attitude of looking at the paperwork and the crisp atmosphere beside it, there was an aura of a woman who could, and I exhaled an admirable sigh.

"Mother."

"You have to call me Elvira here, Master Rosemaine"

"Excuse me. Elvira, do you have any changes to your plans for today?

This time, we are going to explain the face-to-face meeting and the upcoming plans, and we are going to discuss when the Grey Clerics will travel to teach Gutenberg to move and the paper industry.

"I don't think there are any particular changes"

Civilians in the aristocratic district are supposed to talk to the guild chief and the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, including the development of the lower town, and the civilians seconded by each Geebe have to be prepared to accept Gutenberg, so it's only certain that both of them will be quite busy.

"Are you sure that the meeting with the people of the Lower Town will take place in the Temple?

"Sometimes you should go in a castle, so I don't think you'll ever have to decide to be a temple. However, for those in the lower towns, it's easier to get close than the castle, and I thought it might be a more compromising place for a civilian than going down to the lower towns altogether."

"Once you visit, you know it's not a bad place, but it must be a big one."

It's not a very good impression on the aristocracy, so my mother muttered, and then took out a piece of paper.

"By the way, Master Rosemaine. What is the introduction of this payment system?

"I'm talking about a system that requires print societies to deliver their publications to the Aerenfest library, as we have noted there. We've already got permission from Aub Aerenfest."

A payment system that collects all of the printed material. In expanding the printing industry, I believe this is the most important system.

"At that time, books that greatly reflect life and culture at that time are a treasure that describes culture. Yes, the precious property of Aerenfest. Isn't it my duty, the Son of the Lord, to collect, organize and preserve such books"

My mouth never stops, though my eyes saw the proximity with a pocan face to the heated claim. I can't stop it. Your mother won't be able to deny or reject the payment system here.

"Either way, I intend to create a 'national bibliography', and if I do, it will be relatively easy to register a 'copyright', and although I do not intend to, I will also be able to carry out censorship. There is an absolute need for a compulsory payment system for exhaustive collection!

When she puts her chest up and says confidently, her mother puts her hand on her cheek and exhales gently, pointing to a piece of the paperwork.

"I understand that part. I also acknowledge its usefulness. What I don't understand is not just the Aerenfest library, but why Aerenfest's delivery to the Virgin is mandatory."

...... to reduce the burden on Lutz.

Rutz said he would deliver all the books made to me, but it would be impossible to pick them up one at a printing workshop started by Geebe on his own initiative, and every time he went to pick them up, he would say, for what? Even though every book is expensive, it is not possible to gather books from the workshop around for me.

Then you can create a system in which I will automatically gather books at Rutz's. If we introduce a payment system, the book should automatically come together in a printing association chaired by the Plantan Chamber of Commerce. Lutz delivers to me the book he gathers. I take it and read it.

Perfect.

"I started the printing business to read books. Now it's just my workshop and Haldenzel's, so all the books are devoted, but when the printing starts spreading, I think there's going to be some land out there that won't. Wouldn't it be normal to collect everything if you were a book made in the printing industry you spread out"

"Is it normal?

Though my mother looked at me in doubt, I smiled and nodded. All the books that will be made should be mine. I will not resign even to my dreams in the best possible way.

"It's normal. So I thought it would be a good idea to introduce a payment system for printing associations so that they would automatically come together on hand. Besides, introducing it from the middle of nowhere would be repulsive, but if it had been introduced from the beginning, it would be accepted as normal, wouldn't it?

"If I could use Master Rosemaine's excellence in a different direction, I would have realized what Mr. Ferdinand said with his head."

Talking to her mother, Wilfried and Charlotte also brought in their sides.

"What were you talking about?

"It's about the place of discussion with the merchants who are civilians and the payment system. We're going to have a discussion at the temple."

The two nearby civilians looked disgusted for a moment, but Wilfried and Charlotte just nodded lightly.

"It won't be possible to head to Lower Town, but wouldn't it be nice if it were a temple?

"The temple doesn't smell weird, and I don't mind because it produces delicious treats"

They're bound to stop by at prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals, so it's somewhat familiar to both of them. The nobles shunned and almost laughed a little at the insinuation that the lord clan was familiar.

"We would now like to explain our work to you and Charlotte"

Explain the work your mother leaves to the two of you.

Let Charlotte and his side see what the junior civilian has put together, such as improvements and requests coming up from the lower town, and let him do his job at the castle so that he can get permission for anything that needs permission from Aub Aerenfest.

Ask Vilfleet and his neighbors to make their final confirmation towards the site when they receive a communication that they are ready to start the paper and printing industry.

"... why is your brother on his way to final confirmation?

"Because Master Wilfried already has a horseman. You can't afford to take your time on the carriage. Plus, if we get confirmation from the Lords' clan, we'll do some serious work there."

If Vilfleet's confirmation is no problem, I'll take Gutenberg to the site on the Lesser Bus.

"So far only Master Rosemaine can use a large number of people and riding beasts to put their luggage on, so we will leave the movement of Gutenberg to Master Rosemaine"

"Do you mean to let Elvira, her or Master Rosemaine carry civilians!?

I peeled my eyes off like the vicinity of Vilfleet and Charlotte was a little.

"I was surprised, too, but Master Rosemayne said he had done so before. If you value time efficiency, I thought it would be good to keep it that way. Carrying Gutenberg around is also a period of time until the printing industry expands within Aerenfest."

If the printing industry expands somewhat, they are to be dispatched from nearby land. Only in the early days will Gutenberg fly around the territory.

When the 3 bells started ringing, the loose ends and the civilians came in. The face-to-face meeting begins immediately.

There are three civilians in the aristocratic district who have been assembled on the assumption that they can talk to the civilian population to some extent. Everyone is recommended by the Alliance Leader. Henrik was the only one I knew about my face, but I'm just a little relieved that there's a line of warm looking faces.

And then came the civilian sent in by Geebe, who is interested in the printing and paper industries. Seeing me alongside Vilfriet and Charlotte, and their proximity, I draw my face.

It would be a surprise member for those who usually work with civilians and spirited nobles in the countryside.

"Welcome home."

When Mother suggests a seat and everyone takes their seats, the printing and paper industries are declared to start. And I'm introduced. I remember the face of Haldenzel's deputy, who will meet again during the prayer ceremony, as I write down his name, his affiliation and his characteristics.

Mother explains her readiness to distribute materials prepared by Haltmoot for the deputies and to keep them before inviting Gutenberg. He was talking from an aristocratic point of view, adding to the many negotiations he had with the civilians, the little squeaks that had taken place in Haldenzel and how to proceed successfully. It is an art which I cannot do.

"Dear Rosemayne, Gutenberg also has a job in the city of Aerenfest. Be as well prepared as you can so you don't waste your time"

And the junior civil servants who are in contact with the lower town will also have a meeting at the temple, Mother says. It is a place where I and the chief clergyman, a clan of lords, live, adding that Wilfried and Charlotte are also in and out with the help of divinity, and less repentant.

"Many merchants from other realms will come and go after the Lords' meeting. We must also develop the city so that it is not insulted by other territories. I'll leave the basics to Gustav, the guild leader of the commercial guild, but keep in mind that it's not just a matter of the lower towns, but that nobility in the other realms doesn't seem to have enough development for us."

"Any deputies who are ready should contact Lady Charlotte at Ordnants. Charlotte will adjust the order and timing of that contact, and Vilfleet will come to the inspection. So if there's no problem, Master Rosemayne will take Gutenberg with the horseman."

Although I was still surprised at the fact that I would carry civilians with my horseman, the son of my lord, I am not going to stop the horseman movement in Gutenberg.

"While some people seem to show difficulty in transporting civilians, expanding the paper and printing industries is an urgent and important task for Aerenfest as much as I have to be more efficient in transporting them. I want you to have a strong sense that you are involved in that important new business."

At the end of the discourse, which stirred only incitement, I return to my room surrounded by flanks. Vilfleet and Charlotte are with us as we travel north away.

"Rosemaine, isn't there a request for a visit coming to them like a mountain? Have you decided who you're going to see?

They also have a lot of requests to visit at Wilfried's, and the side service is being pursued to deal with it.

"Though many requests for visits have been received, I must head to the temple immediately after this for my winter mitzvah and spring baptism. I'll leave you to your adoptive father and adoptive mother, and then to your fiancée, Brother Wilfried."

"Rosemaine!?

"I'm counting on you, fiancée"

Charlotte holding her mouth and laughing couscous as she watched me throw round Vilfleet.

"I can't interrupt your sister's service in the temple. Brother, stay with me."

When Charlotte laughed prankily that I could help her, Wilfried made his mouth a letter to her as if it were a muck.

"Do It Yourself"

Prepare to return to the temple as soon as you return to your room. They already have Otilier and Brunhilde packing their bags and contacting cooks and dedicated musicians.

"I'll be back in about a week, so please stay away. If you need anything, don't fly the Ordnants."

"Dear Rosemaine, I will accompany you to the temple. We'll celebrate in the ritual, won't we? I'd love to see it."

Haltmut says with his orange eyes shining, but unfortunately he cannot enter the prayer room, even as he becomes allowed to accompany him to the temple.

"Divinity is off-limits to anyone but temple officials. Even escort knights can't get in between prayer rooms and rituals, so they can't get in Haltmoot."

"No. What the hell am I supposed to do..."

"I think you should do your job."

I'm going to leave a ton of work for Haltmoot so I can keep busy and relieve the shock a little. I am a very close-minded Lord.

With regard to the printing industry, ask the mother, who will be the supervisor, to hand over the report from the Plantain Chamber of Commerce and the Guild Manager, and entrust her with the education of Filine.

"Filine should prepare a summary of her previous profits in the paper and printing industries."

"Me, I'm still writing paperwork..."

"It's okay. Haltmoot will tell you. Right?"

Haltmoot laughed bitterly and accepted. Even if I meant to build up a ton of work, I wouldn't be insulted by Haltmoot, who would do the rushing.

And it came to pass, when I had finished the assignment of my work to the men and women, that I looked round to them.

"I would ask everyone who stays in the castle to do this, but if you can afford it, pick up the voices of the nobles in the castle. Adults and children, men and women, sidekicks, civil servants and knights will each have different information to gather."

"Yes, sir."

Ordnants fly in from the chief cleric saying, "Are you ready?" And I answered, "It is done," and I took Darmuel and Angelica, Hugo and Ella, and then I took Rosina back to the temple.

"Welcome back, Master Rosemaine"

Fran and Monica will welcome you. It's a lot easier than being in a castle with a tingly vibe, though not to say conspiracy swirls.

"Chief Cleric, you want to print the novel I wrote this spring, but are you sure you don't have a problem?

I need you to check to see if a romantic novel that imitates your mother's House of Lords story with a story I know fits this one's common sense. Cinderella was rejected. It would be mandatory to have it checked.

"Oh, let's see."

I'm going to get the reference books printed in the spring as well, but I'm not going to sell them right away, so I'm going to need some books that are going to sell soon. If your mother's romantic novel is in the hands of an aristocratic woman, I thought I'd take a ride too.

When I hand over the manuscript to the chief cleric, I enter my chamber and listen to the reports of the lay servants.

"I'm talking about Hugo and Ella's marriage, but we still can't create a couple rooms in the temple"

"Really? Well, we'll just have to ask them to spend some time in a separate room while they're at the temple, or we'll have to get a room in downtown ready to go through."

While I labor the zahm who was looking into what I was asking for, I decide that I have to make a decision about the marriage between Hugo and Ella.

"Dear Rosemaine, there was a clergyman. He wants to talk to you about the manuscript he gave you earlier."

What a bitter-faced cleric came into the room. Put the manuscript on my desk in silence, beside it, a cotton-and-absorption magic device.

... It seemed decidedly no good.

Even if they didn't say anything, I knew exactly what I had eaten. The fact that you give me an anti-bugging magic device would mean that you are willing to give me a good idea of why.

I grabbed an anti-bugging magic device. The clergyman sits in the chair prepared by Fran, gazing at me.

"Rosemaine, there's a lot to be ashamed of, too. Printing something like this in your name is outrageous!

"Ha, shame on you!? Where is it!?

I compare the chief cleric to the manuscript I wrote.

Based on the House of Lords romance story your mother was writing, it's a romantic novel that leads to mistaken positions and eventual ties. I should have finished up with a really girly novel-like story where my gaze fits and I was thrilled, my hands touched and I blushed, a good friend of mine came out and my heart snapped, and eventually my thoughts fit and I end up in a kissing scene, but I was called to shame. Lady, it's their novel, so they shouldn't be using radical expressions or anything at all, but they don't make sense.

"The scene where the two protagonists touch each other, overall, yes! I suffer from understanding why I make such an obscene expression. Did you really refer to Elvira's book?

"I referenced it. It's based on the House of Lords story."

I stuck the House of Lords story to the chief priest and insisted. By the way, the illustration is a book with a face other than the chief cleric.

The chief cleric read your mother's book in pieces, opened a page, and offered it to me.

"This is where you should refer."

The page indicated by the Chief Cleric was about to come out with a poem honoring God across three pages. I didn't know what it meant, and I just read it.

"What is this?

"If you want to write a contact between the two, refer to this"

According to the clergyman, who carved a tight wrinkle between his eyebrows, all the occasional scenes of a little interaction don't work. If you think your mother's novel will come out with a poem honoring God if you do, they say that part was the love scene.

... is that an Indian movie!?

Wouldn't it be like an Indian movie where men and women come out and stare at each other and suddenly a crowd dance Cole de springs up and starts singing and dancing? The dance runs out is good, and even if I can watch and enjoy it as a dance, I don't understand the story of an Indian film.

"What are you trying to say, your expression is direct and too slutty"

When I wrote a romance novel for girls, they treated me like a sensual novel. I am truly sorry.

"The Lordship candidate publishes such shameful stories."

"I have well found that there is a great separation between common sense. I'll stop writing my own romance novel. Looks like you should raise a writer."

"Do so. So that we can discard this."

There's no way I can write a romantic novel or anything that suddenly starts honoring God in the love scene. This seems like we have to rush the development of a writer.

... but what would this reaction be like in a girl novel level love scene if I let her read a real sensual novel?
