Ascendance of a Bookworm

When he threw in a business discussion about the new dyeing method, Otto narrowed his eyes and began to think about it. The merchant's eyes wonder how much value I should add to that.

And I waited for Otto to to come up with an answer, and I looked up, and softly Corinna came forward.

"Dear Rosemaine, I suggest you interact directly with the Dyeing Association after the dye you are about to spread"

Corinna looked straight at me and said so with a gentle grin.

"The dyeing technique itself, even if bought by the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, is not the kind of technology that can be monopolized in my exclusive workshop. Master Rosemaine has too much influence."

When I try to fashion something, it is difficult to handle it in a handful of workshops dedicated to the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, because it spreads to aristocratic women at once, Corinna said.

It takes time and money for the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce to buy rights, cover research costs and grow a workshop to a level suitable for noble glasses. But when I try to make it fashionable, the more I have to open up both technology and information and raise craftsmen at once, the more requests from the nobles are concentrated. Naturally, they can expect to be in a state where they can't even take requests.

"If you want to ride the fashion but you don't get it, and you don't have the technology or information to try to rely on other shops and workshops, nobility, of course, it will be the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce that the spearhead of the opposition of its peers"

It's not in the store's interest to buy a new dye, Corinna seems to have decided so.

The new things I propose are secured before anything else is taken, and Benno, who manages to make a profit, and Corinna, who measures whether or not he makes a profit within his own realm of sewing, are completely different even for his brothers and sisters. However, my eyes were very similar, firmly defining the benefits for me.

... Mr. Corinna is Benno's sister, even if she looks relaxed, isn't she?

I don't really understand the connections and business interactions between merchants in this city, so if it bothers the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, it might be better to stop offering this technology.

"Should I also trade directly with the Dyeing Association on this wax contamination?

"No, thank you for this reward from Master Rosemayne."

Corinna shook her head loose.

"The dyeing method given as a reward will be provided by the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce to the Dyeing Association at a low price along with its history. And in the form of a request from Master Rosemaine to the Dyeing Society, we will make each workshop the cloth you mentioned earlier."

To Corinna's words, Leon, who said his parents' house was a big store wholesale cloth to the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, began to look more alive than he had ever seen before.

"We will speak to all the dyeing workshops and make them make cloths, so every dyeing workshop will wield its power to become Rosemayne's exclusive"

"Ah. Gutenberg named it at Aerenfest, and it works outside the city. Many craftsmen want the Gutenberg title"

So grumbled Otto looked at me.

"Dear Rosemaine, wouldn't it be okay to decide about two things as exclusive as a blacksmith workshop? How about giving the dyeing workshop a Gutenberg title too?

"You might want to rank the cloths submitted this time and make a difference in the price to get new technology to trade with the Dyeing Association"

... I just thought I wanted to spread wax contamination as much as possible downtown before Yustox explored me a lot, but I think it's getting a lot bigger.

It's been an unexpected development. What am I going to do, Touri and I got eyes on each other. Touri said, "What are you going to do? I don't know," he looks at this one with his face.

"Nevertheless, where on earth did Master Rosemaine become acquainted with such old technology?

Asked by Leon in wonder, I smiled nicely.

"Of course, it's a book."

"I see. Keeping a record is important."

... If you convinced me, that's fine. I've also read the book, but I'm familiar with how to do it because I did it in a family medicine class.

In the Reino era, I did both squeeze and wax dye sewn with wheel rubber and thread in middle school family medicine. At that time, a geeky friend surprised his surroundings by painting a masterful favorite character when he did it to a handkerchief with wax conjunctivities. What surprised me, though, was that I was misspelling the character's name, which I had publicly declared to be my favorite.

In the end, the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce hosted the "Let's revive old technology and win the Gutenberg title" competition. They schedule it at the end of the summer to make it to the winter social world.

Seeing where Leon lives, I guess Leon's home at the request of the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce will be very active.

... Something unexpectedly got bigger, but, well, okay.

After a meeting with the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, I returned to my chamber to write a cloth-dyed competition in my annual schedule, looking through the book board and the minutes that Fran was holding me back.

"After the star knot ritual, you don't have any particular plans until the harvest festival, do you?

"I don't have any plans for the temple. Are you okay with your castle plans?

"... depending on the outcome of the Lords' Conference, right? 'Cause merchants can get together in big numbers and make a big deal out of it."

So far, if it's autumn from the end of summer, I don't have any particular plans. I even the wax on the calligraphy board and erase the letters. There Gil ran over with a letter.

"Dear Rosemaine, I am writing to you from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce"

In addition to the request for a safety pin, I received a letter from Benno just in time to think that if I hadn't met Gutenberg once before heading to Haldenzel in order to know the progress of what I had asked for.

"Thank you, Gil. I'll get back to you soon, so just take a break and wait. It would have been tough because you asked me to prepare and clean up the demonstration in the workshop, too, right?

Speak the words of labor unto Gil, and I will open the letter.

I read it quickly, it's written in aristocratic modifiers, and it's a seemingly normal text of an interview request, but if you read the lines carefully, you'd say, "What have you done to yourself? Explain it, you idiot," I thought I could read.

... I feel frustrated that I haven't lost my aristocratic expression, is it my fault? It's not your fault, is it?

"I want to meet with Gutenberg before I go to Haldenzel to hear the achievements of two years," I replied, sniffing out an anger from between the lines that was so difficult to express. If anyone else is there, I'm sure a little anger can divert them.

... There's only a slight chance you'll get mad at me for thinking of something soothing, but I have to hit the hand I can hit.

Hurry up because we don't have that much time until the spring baptism ceremony, because I added, the date and time of the visit was set immediately.

In the director's office of the orphanage the day before the christening ceremony, it is a Gutenberg conference, attended by three of the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, Johann and Zach the blacksmiths, Ingo the woodworkers, Heidi and Joseph the inkmakers, and Gill from our workshop.

"On second thought, this is the first time you've had a Gutenberg meeting here"

I think this is the first time Heidi and Joseph have come and gone, although Johann, Zach and Ingo have been in and out to make a printing press.

"Fran, Dermuel, Angelica. There will be a lot of artisans in Lower Town today, so I think some of them are a little less well-behaved, but don't let them get a whiff of you."

"Yes, sir."

Because of the large number of people, we were to have a discussion today in the hall on the ground floor. Looks like the chairs came down from upstairs to match the number of people, set the table up, and the sidekicks worked hard to get the place ready.

"Dear Rosemaine, everyone from Gutenberg has arrived"

People come in one after another with Gil's guidance. Three of the Plantain Chamber of Commerce who come in flat because they are used to it, Johann and Zach, who seem a little odd because of a long time, Ingo, who came in looking back as they were rushed, Heidi, who was pushing Ingo's back, and Joseph, who is trying to hold Heidi down by calling out to him to "stop" him.

"Ma'am, you look fine. Great. I was so worried you wouldn't wake up for two years!

Heidi, with a little face out of Ingo's back, found me and waved her hands wide open with a full smile. Since I became your merchant entering and leaving the castle, my cheeks loosen to nostalgia in the nori of the lower town, where Benno and Lutz have ceased to be shown except in hidden rooms.

But that nori is unacceptable here. Darmuel, the escort knight, drew his face, and Fran strayed from Heidi's gaze while holding his temples like a cleric chief. "Don't be angry, don't be angry," you look like you're telling yourself.

Joseph, who saw how Darmuel and Fran were doing, turned bright blue and grabbed Heidi's roots and drew them toward him.

"Heidi, you idiot! The man is a temple chief who can give real blessings, and now you're not such a good opponent to call upon anymore!

"That's right, but you're a financier of my ink research going forward in making books, aren't you?

"Not wrong, but too disrespectful! You've become a mother, too, so calm down for a second!

In the words of Joseph, my head turned white. Heidi didn't think she had children because she had grown up from the start or because she looked almost the same.

... Volk got married in two years, and he had kids. So it's not surprising that Heidi, who was already married, had kids. It's not supposed to be weird, but it's still weird.

"As Joseph put it, whatever it is, that attitude is too disturbing. From now on, noble civilians will be present at future meetings. You should change your attitude a little or Heidi's attendance itself."

Whether you're tied to Heidi's tension or just some downtown craftsman today, you don't think it's going to get through with fixing it, Benno said so with his head in his arms.

"That's a good idea," Joseph glanced. They decided to leave Heidi alone when the civilian was present.

"It's going to be a lot more Joseph to put his face on the conference, as we're going to have a much more civilian attached from now on"

"If you think about taking Heidi to attend, it's a lot easier if you're alone"

Ha, and seeing Joseph exhaled, I look around, laughing with Couscous. Dermel and Fran snorted deeply at Joseph's words.

"If the ink doesn't get involved, I'll calm down a little bit more, but I seem excited to be reuniting with my first investor in years"

He's been researching a lot and can make colors for Constant. While I grin bitterly at Heidi, who started presenting the research results before I heard it, I write the results zah on the paper at hand. They could also develop a new fixative, or a drug that would protect them without painting them from the top and discoloring the ink, like varnish.

And then he talked about how the clergyman was praising Heidi's research results in color ink and about the attributes of magic.

"… so they say the color changes when mixed together, depending on the magic attributes contained in the material"

Hearing my story, Heidi looked at me with a kick as she shook her puffy clenched fist.

"I can't believe you have such handy magic equipment to find out the attributes...... I want it too, lady! Buy it for research costs!

"I understand. I wanted it too, but it's not easy to get it. And because it's magic equipment, I don't know if it can be used by civilians."

"Oh... Lords, it's sloppy."

Heidi's appearance was visionary when she held her head in her arms. I couldn't seem to watch myself when I found out that nobility was the only one with a book or a secretary.

"As far as I'm concerned, I wanted to measure the material that makes the paper and find out what it feels like to be paper by Demon Tree, but there's nothing I can do if I don't get the measuring magic equipment"

"You can't give up, lady! Win!

"... if you have the time and material, you're talking about. I really can't afford it right now."

When I shook my head, Heidi moistened her eyes and said, "You can't even get it from a lady, can you?"

"Next... Johann and Zach. What results have been achieved in the blacksmith workshop?

When I nominated the two, Johann and Zach looked at each other and clasped their shoulders. They both completely lose the atmosphere of freshly grown boys in my memory and become the faces of craftsmen who can do their jobs in one person.

"Let's start with me. I was getting the challenge of designing a less shaky carriage and a bed that utilized springs. Here's the design."

"I also saw Zach's design, but I think the least wobble will be this carriage. However, given the mass production, this one is better. Because parts aren't that hard."

Listening to the two of them, I peered into the three blueprints. I see a type of carriage designed to hang.

"This is the bed you requested. Here's what I designed as I was told before. I thought I could do something a little better, but it's hard. It's just going to take a lot of time to complete, and it's going to be expensive."

"It's good because I make money when it comes to money. Nevertheless, you were able to design it into a well feasible state. Surprised."

I just taught him a vague knowledge of pocket coils and bonne coils, but Zach used pocket coils that it was easy to imagine. Surely, when this bed is finished, my sleep will be blissful.

"Now start making beds in adult sizes. Buy the blueprints from Zach by hiring a mass producible. When it comes to the subsequent handling of blueprints, is it good because I leave it to the blacksmith association, just like the pump?

"You must also have a foothold with the Woodworking Association to build a carriage, so please discuss it together with you. It's as good as a pump when it comes to pricing."

It is in the form of a work fee paid for blueprints whenever a carriage is made.

"I'll leave the compromise between the Blacksmith Association and the Woodworking Association to Benno, won't I? I thought Ingo would be good, but Benno, a third party that has nothing to do with either, would be better."

"... Yes, sir."

When I finished paying Zach with the guild card I had as the workshop manager at Rosemaine Workshop, I turned to Johann.

"How's Johan? I think he was asking for an increase in the production of metal typescripts and the spread of hand pressing pumps..."

"Metal typography is increasing steadily....... and selling from one end of the increase. We didn't have a craftsman in Haldenzel who could do the perfect job yet, so we sold it all by ourselves."

Printing during a winter cage is not a job without metal typescripts. I hear you've been putting out a bad idea that you haven't been able to make it exactly, so I guess you needed a lot of spare.

"It's hard to go again and again unless you can make it in Haldenzel soon"

"If you can't go this spring, I have a conversation with Geebe Haldenzel to bring Haldenzel craftsmen to Aerenfest. Johann is headed to Haldenzel."

"Because you have to get me to go somewhere else," he said to Johann, who raised his face in relief, dropping Gakun's shoulder. As I lean my neck towards so many falls, the Gutenbergs look at Johann with indescribable eyes.

"On top of perfectionism when it comes to work, Johann's not good with people, so it's easy to get disgusted, and teaching in a new land was quite a struggle."

Lutz defends Johann and everyone else snorts.

"The Haldenzel people seem to be introverted too, so that was tough. But I heard Johann was very highly regarded among them."

"Huh?"

"The blacksmiths were excited that they would definitely win the pass in the spring," he said.

Slightly poking Johann, who looks unexpected, Zach lifts the edge of Ni's lips.

"So I told you. Because I'm no match for you, I'm just saying Garger.... Well, either way, you're gonna have to put up with it until he grows up. We just have to give up."

"Zach, who is he?

"I'm Danilo, Johan's apprentice. I'm burning my fighting will to definitely be Gutenberg, so I'll push you into this meeting within, I'm sure."

As Zach shook his shoulder and laughed as he pressed and went into Gutenberg, Johann, regrettably, bent his mouth to the letter to.

"The hand pressing pump is spreading smoothly. Starting to sell from the Craftsman's Town and North, I'm finally able to get my hands on orders from the East."

They finally started turning hand pumps elsewhere, with requests from the workplace and its associates and the rich north taking precedence.

"It's going well. Proceed at this rate. Oh, I almost forgot. Johann, I want you to make this."

I gave him the blueprint for the safety pin as a new request. Johann glanced at the blueprint and made a difficult face.

"... can't you do it with a regular pin? I don't think it's going to change much."

"Isn't it dangerous if the tip of this needle is out? I hate it when it hurts. It's important that this pin tip hides properly."

When I tapped lightly with my fingertips where the blueprint pins would hide, Johan laughed slightly, "Still paying attention to where no one else was obsessed at all," he said.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I turn this request to my apprentice?

"If you can make it according to the blueprints, fine."

"I'll turn it to Danilo"

If you want to be recognized as a disciple of Johan, it seems that you can't if you can't do my request.

I shifted my gaze from Johann, who takes care of the blueprints, to Ingo. This is the request of my destiny.

"How's Ingo? Did you have a bookshelf?

Once the shelves are ready, we're going to have a dense library built. Excited, when I looked up, the ingo looked a little more difficult.

"The blueprint brought by Master Rosemayne turned out to be the same..."

"Is there a problem?

"If I put a book in it, I think it's probably too heavy to move"

"... Huh?

Ingo scratched his cheeks with polypoly on me, who opened his eyes. If empty, it moves, but packing the book makes it very heavy. They didn't move with the stuff packed. I say you should reconsider a bit, as rail and pulley designs and improvements are outside the jurisdiction of woodworking workshops.

"Johann......"

"Turn the design to Zach"

Johann waved to Zach so that he could give up any more work. When I turned my gaze to Zach, he said, "I'm not very good at fine fixes," while taking them on with a face I can't seem to help.

"Speaking of which, Master Rosemaine. I heard something more interesting the other day than Corinna."

"Ha-ha?

I turned to Benno, who deepened my grin, and beckoned.

"Now they're going to reach for dyeing as well. It's really interesting to see anything revive old technology."

It says on Benno's face, "I can't believe this idiot extended his hand to dyeing relationships". I gently laid my hands on my cheeks in an atmosphere that was neither angry nor frightened.

"I don't care how many things are at the source of the new fashion, and it's a revival of old technology, so I don't think it's my feat when it comes to this one. It is an artisan feat that revives old technology and allows it to be used anew. Because of this opportunity, the dye artisan will take the time to grow it."

"Hum, the word slow seems to mean something completely different to the nobility and to us."

It was now time for Benno to have a clear and frightened face. Gutenberg also said, "Right. Is the aristocrat this slow?" he groans.

Oh, my God, they think I'm someone who builds up cancer and challenges at high speeds to everyone in Gutenberg and raises them in Sparta. I don't think that's me, the chief cleric. Outside the heart.

I always wish I could, and I give it a job, and I don't think of it as "something I absolutely have to do".

When I told him that, Zach held his head that "common sense was different".

"Craftsmen who fail to meet the demands placed on their customers are treated as incompetent."

... Oh, I guess that is.... Something, I'm sorry. But I reflected, but I don't weigh myself down.

"If the new dye spreads, the ink might sell, and I don't think it means total waste. Corinna told me that I should deal directly with the Dyeing Association, because I haven't yet spoken about the dyeing methods of those involved with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce."

"How the Plantan Chamber of Commerce relates to dyeing, is it?

... Oh, shit. Too much talk. I've been trying to keep my mouth shut for a while about the type of paper contamination.

"There are other ways to dye it. This time, after my exclusive dyeing workshop has been decided, I'm going to sell the dyeing technique to the Dyeing Association, which will also involve the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, to have it turned exclusively as a matter of priority"

Ugh, laughing and talking, I found that Beno's mood was going down more and more. My reddish brown eyes are threatening me as I get steeper about where and how the Plantain Chamber of Commerce is going to get involved.

"Ugh... I also said it had something to do with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce because it uses paper and ink. You'll just be able to sell your tools. This information is paid for!

"... ok"

They convinced me for once.

After listening to everyone, it is a discussion of our plans for Haldenzel. After I finish my prayer ceremony, I state that I will head to Haldenzel once and for all with a horseman. The only people I'm taking with me are Benno and Damien from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce because of the change in contract magic, and then Johann and Zach, the blacksmiths.

Heidi and Joseph don't have to go because I already taught them how to make black ink and the color ink is just to take it from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce and sell it if they need it.

Ingo has also taught us how to make the most important printing press, and the woodworkers seem to have already passed. I'm done teaching you how to print, and Haldenzel has been contacted when he matches the paper industry for a while, so the Rosemaine workshop has no movement either.

"Benno, how long is the procedure going to take?

"If Lady Rosemaine is coming with us, I think three days would be enough."

The aristocratic opponent takes some time to talk, but he says that if I were with him, he would move on without being seen. This way of putting it, I think I can go pappy and come back pappy.

"I'll do my best to negotiate with the civilians so I can expand the printing industry as much as possible."

"I think it's just good enough to keep it down a little bit"

That's what Lutz said when he caught his cheek, but I decided to do everything in my power to make my dreams come true.

"We have also decided to introduce a payment system from this time forward. Make sure you give it to the workshop at the Printing Association."

I explained the payment system and told Aerenfest and me to deliver one book at a time.

"I understand the main thrust, and it's the same as before, so I don't mind as this one, but why do we need both books? Master Rosemayne's been in the castle the whole time, isn't he?

I stood up and shook my index finger towards Benno, who said farther away that he would not even go to his daughter-in-law, but would not need two books. My ambitions don't just fit in the library of the castle. It's bigger, bigger.

"Sooner or later, I'm not just going to Aerenfest, I'm going to create a giant library of books from all over Jürgenschmidt. We need to collect the books for that now."

Ugh, and when I announced my ambitions with my chest up, "Are you going to follow this," Gutenberg held his head all together.
