Ascendance of a Bookworm

Life in the Temple

In the meantime, I am too different in common sense, so that when I wrote something I would always bring it, and the chief clergyman pushed me back just in case.

While I reply "yes," I put the broken and shamed novel in a locked bookcase and seal it. I was ordered to destroy it, but maybe one day the time will come to look into the eyes of the day.

"Fran, will you go to the kitchen and get Hugo and Ella? I want to talk about what I've decided."

"Dear Rosemaine, when I speak to the cook, I'd like you to pinch my side."

"I'm sorry, Fran. But it's about marriage, so I think we should talk in person. Fran, of course, there's a lot more to what the sidekicks here don't know, right?

When I said so, Fran sighed as if he had no choice. When it comes to work, it's fine to pinch Flan's side service, but stories about life such as marriage will pinch Flan's side.

"Excuse me, sir."

Ella and Hugo came in in in awe. Explain to the two nervous people that Fran will speak directly to me today and take a step back. Two of the escort knights were perfectly behind me as civilians converse directly.

"Thank you both for your service in the House of Lords. We cook a lot of food every day, so it must have been tough, right? All the students were delighted that it was delicious. Perhaps we shall go together while I go to the House of Lords, thank you.... so the real deal is about the two of us getting married..."

The two faces tightened. I hear cockles and breathtaking noises. I laughed nicely so that I could reassure them both.

"The two marriages themselves are fine. If you do it this summer, I will bless you."

"Thank you!

"It's just a matter of where we live. The castle also seems to have married working downstairs, and they have a room for couples. I'll apply for one room for two in the castle, but I can't create a couple rooms inside the temple. While you're at the temple, use another room as you've always been, or I know it's going to be hard on the street, but rent a room in the lower town and live there. Even if I rent a room, I will keep the temple room intact so that I can sleep hypnotically during busy times"

I will signal Fran with my gaze, and ask him to come with the money he has prepared, and give it to both of us. I looked in a bag that sounded jarring and peeled my eyes off like Hugo was a little.

"This is a travel allowance and a wedding gift from me for working hard in the House of Lords all winter. Let's get ready for marriage."

"... so, so good?

"Yep. Then, the duration of the prayer ceremony will be accompanied by Hugo as usual. So, from tomorrow until the prayer ceremony, we will be off Hugo, and during the prayer ceremony, we will be off Ella. It's not that long off, but get ready for marriage. If it's true, I'd love to give you two a break together, but that's just not how it works. I'm sorry."

"No, take care, thank you"

Getting ready for marriage is tough. I have to rent a room and put in some belongings. The ritual of star knot, which is a wedding, takes place in the summer in order for the bride and groom to get their lives in order by the time of winter support. In summer, you can sleep without a futon top hanging, plenty of food, and you don't need firewood for about winter. We need time to prepare for the winter.

In the case of Ella and Hugo, there is also a room in the temple or castle, so if the lower town room is separated from the place to sleep and the room is prepared, we may be able to handle it just by preparing the bedroom. However, it is the bride who prepares cloth products such as sheets and futons for that bedding, and she has to start where she weaves the cloth by hand in the winter. Women who have decided to marry desperately weave cloth during the winter months to prepare for a new life. That's why a good seamstress becomes a condition for beauty.

"Ella worked in the House of Lords, so you wouldn't have had time to prepare the cloth, would you? Are you all right, sir?

"He said my mother would weave it for me"

He said his mother, who worried about Ella on the straight line of work, was supposed to weave it during the winter. They'll do something about it second-hand when it comes to what wasn't enough.

... Shall I give Ella some hair decorations to match the precious color of spring? Although the new cookware seems more pleasing.

Ella has not been able to attend the temple mitzvah because she spent her mitzvah time in the aristocratic district. This star knot ritual is supposed to be my first sunny outfit. It's my exclusive, and because of this, it might be a good idea to give away less expensive hair decorations.

"Thank you for such a step."

"Excuse me."

When we finish the conversation and the two back off, we have an mitzvah and baptismal meeting next with Fran and Zahm. There's roughly a week between the winter mitzvah and the spring baptism, so we're going to be able to take it slow in the temple in the meantime.

"How's the orphanage going? Have you tamed the Konrat?

Monica, who is buying a liaison role with Vilma and is the most frequently in and out of the orphanage of side service, gets out front and starts reporting.

"According to Vilma, he was showing fright in people's footsteps for a few days.... Even though he was raised as a nobleman, Konrat has nowhere to put power on Kasas like a blue cleric. Instead, he came to the orphanage and looked horrible"

I wonder how badly it has been treated so far. I sighed lightly, remembering how frightened I was by Starp.

"If the Konrat is at all at ease, I've never been over it. Monica, I'd like to take a look at the orphanage and workshop once, so please tell Vilma and Gill we'll head around tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes, sir."

Monica nods, and she contacts me, and leaves the room.

When I took out my memorandum and saw what I would do in the temple, I offered Zahm a note form written about the prayer ceremony.

"We have been discussing with Brother Wilfried and Charlotte the division when we go around the direct jurisdiction at the prayer ceremony. Please communicate the results to the Chief Cleric. If it's inconvenient, if you don't get in touch with me soon, we'll need a prep period for both of you."

"We have Lady Rosemaine this year, so I can't put a franc on it. We will also discuss who to attach to Charlotte."

"Yeah, please"

When Zahm leaves the room, I glance at the letter that is in the box. Letters had been received from the Plantan and Gilberta Chambers of Commerce, as well as from the guild chief.

The letter from the guild chief described the results of scratching the stories of travellers traveling around other territories on issues related to the development of the lower town and struggling to beautify the city.

"You might want to report this to the Chief Cleric and give him an answer as soon as possible. May I have a moment to help you tomorrow? … Fran, please ask me to deliver it to Gil as I will be writing to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce and Guild Directors of the Guild of Guilberta and Commercial Guilds"

"Dear Rosemaine, isn't it a good idea to be rested already today? I can't say your face is a good color. If you are going to be active, we will train you to remove your magic equipment."

Fran narrowed his eyes and said so. I didn't think I was ill myself, so Fran pointed me out and I freak out and put my hand on my face.

What would the chief priest say if he came back to the temple but fell ill and couldn't bless him at the mitzvah? I quietly decided to accept Fran's proposal.

"Okay. I'll take a quiet break. Bring me a new book that I could print during the winter."

From the next day I was to live a long temple life. When you wake up and finish your breakfast, practice your service dance and fesh peel and head to the Cleric Chief's room with three bells to help.

"Dear Rosemaine, let's come and help the Chief Cleric."

I entrust Rosina with the care and clean-up of the fesh peel, and I go with Fran, Zahm and Monica to the Cleric Chief's room. Two of the escort knights are with us.

Angelica tries to stick to the door as usual, working alone as a escort, and Dermuel cleans up the work instructed by the clergyman.

"Chief Cleric, this was coming from the Alliance Commander of the Commercial Alliance. I thought we should talk to you as soon as possible..."

I gave the chief guild's letter to the chief cleric.

What was written there was that something like a sewer was installed in a territory other than Aerenfest. Things like sewers, inferred from information gathered by the guild chief, were commonly used in the aristocratic district. They're using the neva in the bathroom. It was invented decades ago, and it became popular, and in other realms the dramatic Before-after was said to have taken place.

If you don't have a problem with your life, you might want to do a dramatic before-after. However, it could be difficult in Aerenfest because it would be magic that only the lord could handle, it was tied.

"It's been incorporated into the aristocratic district, so only the lower town of Aerenfest seems to be decades behind the margins."

"... Sounds like it. You should turn this case to the castle."

The clergyman will bullet you to find out when the castle was remodeled, whether there was a design document at that time, how much magic you would need if you were to do the same thing downtown, how much spare time you have, and so on, and give it away with the Demon Stone for Ordonanz.

"Send it to Elvira and Charlotte. I will do nothing more than serve as your guardian on this case. [M] The man in charge is Elvira."

I received it and flew Ordnants toward my mother and Charlotte. Charlotte and her neighbors will do their best to find out.

... I like your research work in the library, too. Yikes.

Restore your mind and help up to 4 bells. The Chief Cleric seems very difficult because he has been away from the temple for a while. As I helped as much as I could, too, the bell rang.

When I returned to my room and finished my lunch, I waited for God's grace to turn to the orphanage as I wrote letters to put out everywhere. Monica returns, "Looks like we're ready," so Monica and Gill, and then take the escort knight to the orphanage.

Beyond the door, wide open by Monica and Gill, was an orphanage dining room where the gray witches could be seen kneeling and waiting.

"Vilma, please report during the winter months"

I hear reports from Vilma, saying that everyone else does their own thing. Until the Konrat arrived, they didn't make a big difference by saying this. Some children caught a slight cold, but they didn't seem to get seriously ill, and they soon healed.

"Me and the other gray witches were worried about whether the Konrat, who had grown up as a nobleman, could spend time in an orphanage, but there were no issues that seemed problematic. The first day I was nervous and my body was stiff, but the dilk was clear and taught a lot, and now I'm starting to smile."

I mean, it's like standing or finally starting to crawl, or Dilk, who was already around only after the baptism ceremony and an apprentice working in the workshop, seems to have welcomed a contort of his age that he could run around with. They're still swinging around fine now, and they're having a tough time chasing the two of them Delia.

"I also want to see how he is, so call Konrat and Dilk"

"Yes, sir."

Turning his gaze to the gray witch, who was nearby, the gray witch went to speak to the children who were spreading their picture books in the back corner of the dining room.

I can see Dilk standing up as he makes his red tea hair jump, grabbing the wrist of the Konrat and pulling. It's Delia that follows us from behind the two of us.

"Dear Rosemaine, are you here?

"Yeah, I'm here to see how Conrad is doing. Konrat, how's the orphanage? Is the rice good? Do you sleep well?

Her yellow-green eyes, very similar to Philine's, narrowed and smiled, and after looking around, her chestnut head nodded cocklessly. It felt at a glance that he was being abused, but now his fright against his surroundings has faded from his face.

"Yes. It's delicious. Plus, lots of picture books and toys are fun."

Next to the contort is the dilk. Dilk's red tea hair resembled a delia to refrain from behind, with scorched tea eyes close to black hosting an arm-white light. It looks a lot like the look on the old cheerful Delia's face, and she wonders if it's something that comes to resemble growing up as a sister and brother.

"I guess Dilk is telling us a lot about Konrat, isn't he? Thank you, Dirk. For both of us, we seem to be good friends with each other and we are relieved"

After seeing Dirk and Konrat laugh face to face, I turn my gaze to Delia, who is kneeling behind the two of them. Like Touri, Delia was no longer a child, but a girl of her age.

"Delia, it's going to be tough, but please take care of both of us together"

"Yeah, I got it."

Delia smiled and undertook for me. When I leave the orphanage in peace, I go to the workshop.

"Gil, call me Fritz when you get to the workshop. We need to talk about adding more paper mills."

"Yes, sir."

I had Fritz called in and told him that the paper industry would start on some of Aerenfest's land, and that I wanted him to be a candidate to send me to more than one land at a time.

"Do you let them go to more than one land at a time?

"Yep. We need numbers, so instead of sitting back tight and making specialties over the course of the year like Ilkner does, we plan to just teach you how to make paper with the ratios we already have. The craftsmen of Ilkner are also to be served."

I will recall three gray clerics from Hasse during the prayer ceremony, so I will state what I would like the personnel calling back from Hasse to hear if requested, and what one experienced person who was traveling to Irkner would like me to do to make two four business squads at a time.

"Let them turn to where they are ready to accept. The journey will take place with my horseman, and you won't have to worry so much about life, as personnel are to be seconded from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce for the establishment of the Botanical Paper Association and the Printing Association"

"How long will it last?

"In January (one) to February (the lid), if you can make the basic Follin paper, it will be over, and you will be asked to go to the next workshop. Oh, yeah, yeah. Add Ahim and Egon. And I want to promote the Grimm project."

Since there is no room for a gray cleric to be dispatched while I sleep, Project Grimm has stopped. As we expand the paper and printing industries, we also want you to gather stories.

"Ask the Plantain Chamber of Commerce to prepare the money for the reward"

"We're going to need new stories to make a new book, so I hope we get together as much as possible"

Fritz laughed bitterly, affirming my intention to mix up the Grimm plan. "I hope the clergyman doesn't piss me off," Gil said lightly on his shoulder.

"Gil, you mustn't say such ominous things. Shh!

It's winter mitzvah the next day. Preparation begins early in the morning, and I go to the prayer room, dressed in the ritual garments of the temple chief, inserting the precious hair ornaments of winter.

"Guard knights should be waiting over there"

Angelica narrowed her blue eyes as she pointed to the wall where Brother Eckhardt stood.

"I don't think I can say enough that there is any danger inside the chapel at all. I want to follow you inside the chapel."

Angelica is disgruntled that it's not a good idea to keep the escort off the side. Until then if I say custom, but it's a temple decision, so I can't help it.

"I will also consult with the Chief Cleric to verify again whether the decision can be changed. Give up today."

"... Yes"

Angelica and Dermuel stand side by side with Brother Eckhardt, who refused to accept.

Instructed by Fran, he stood in front of the door a little bit, and from inside the prayer room, he heard the chief priest, "Temple chief, enter the room". At the same time, the door is opened by the gray clerics. A blue cleric alongside the altar was on his right, and a new adult was visible on his left.

I stepped into the prayer room with the scripture given to Fran. I am greeted by the sound of so many bells ringing and by so full of surprises that I go forward on my feet towards the altar.

Blue clerics use magic equipment that reduces the size of their voices, so no matter how many surprising voices they raise, it can only be a whisper. Even such a whisper reaches my ear firmly if there are a number of similar voices.

"Oh, he's a tiny temple chief"

"There's a temple chief back there who can give you a real blessing."

"Really tiny."

... Shit and don't say it again and again! It's Jurevé's fault. One of these days you're gonna be big!

Walk with a soaked face so that nothing is heard on the surface while disputing it in your mind. It's not just that the whispers of the new adults are small.

"Wow, really nobles use Gilberta Chamber of Commerce hair decorations too"

"It's so luxurious and incomparable with us."

I also heard those whispers from the women who saw my hair decorations. I was driven by the urge to look around to see how much hair decoration is fashionable, but desperately endure it. You just have to go up to the altar and raise your gaze higher.

I walk up the stairs careful not to step on the hem and fall. Placing the scriptures on the altar, and spreading them, the chief cleric began to read the myths, with a good voice. Hearing its voice, I slowly look around the prayer room.

The Baptist ceremony is a white based costume because it is born as a person, but the mitzvah costume becomes a costume based on the precious colors of the season. Red or white in winter. Is it because white really looks cold, and the new adults lined up in front of you have a lot of red costumes?

And I found that most new adult women have hair decorations in their hair. Besides the hair decorations where the small flowers were gathered, some people use objects with slightly larger or more elaborate flowers, just as I first made them for Thuri.

At the end of winter the flowers haven't blossomed yet, so you can't even pick flowers to decorate in the woods. I remember Frieda saying she was happy to decorate the flowers during the baptismal ceremony. There were really few people still using hair decorations then, but they seemed completely settled in while I slept.

... Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, I'm trying.

It was my turn to sigh of admiration as I watched the flow of the moon for two years. Bless the new adults.

"Then let us pray to God. Pray to God!

A new adult prayed following the Zakko Blue Clerics. After I have looked around at the condition, with magic in the ring, I bless.

The goddess of earth, Gedurleich, the god of life, Aveliebe, hears my prayers, blesses me on the birth of a new adult, and gives me their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude, their holy protection.

When you give a blessing filled with red and white light, divinity is over. The door opens with the word of the chief cleric, "The gateway of those who have received blessings shall be bright," and the new adult leaves in various ways.

... Could it be that you're here?

When I turned my gaze to the door in anticipation, there was my father and mother, and I could see them crying. We're both a little old. "I'm fine. I'm fine," my father nodded loudly, if I made him laugh nicely.

... Is that it?

He had a father and a mother, but he didn't look like Tulli and Camille.

... What's going on? Could it be that you're not feeling well?

I feared that I might be ill, I will find out later.

The Temple is a place where children should not enter. Whatever infant or baby walks parents can hold all the time, a child of the year who could steal their parents' eyes and enter the temple has to leave a message at home, he said.

It was not until Camille's christening that I saw Camille.
