Ascendance of a Bookworm

First of all, knowing what the old technology was like and choosing a new one on top of it, Brunhilde began to ask Richarda about the old costumes in detail.

O'Tillier brings an invitation as he smiles at two people who have an extraordinary interest in costumes and decorations.

"Dear Rosemaine, the 5 bells have been called by Aub Aerenfest"

The meeting was supposed to take place, anticipating the time off, as the Cleric Chief and Ordnants had been informed of the date and time of his return to the castle. I knew it through Ordnants interactions, but the room seemed to have received an official invitation.

The main thrust of the discussion for the Lords' Conference is the Tea Party. Mother is also called, as the Lords clan gathers momentum and also talks about the printing industry and the development of the lower town.

"I understand that Mr. Wilfried and Mr. Rosemayne are in the House of Lords, but Mr. Charlotte will also be present."

Originally, it wasn't until I entered the House of Lords that I started working as an apprentice. After the baptismal ceremony, the child chooses a course in the House of Lords, thinking about his or her future, helping his or her parents with their work or asking them what work they are doing from relatives and familiars.

Charlotte is also involved in the printing industry this time because he has decided to be a Lordship Candidate and he wants to work with them.

"Charlotte works hard, so you have to attend the meeting. If only one of you doesn't know the situation, you'll have trouble getting close, too, right?

"I'm a little worried about Rosemayne and Charlotte prioritizing their work over bride training."

Otilier put his hand on his cheek and exhaled gently, having trouble. It seems that Charlotte, as a Lordship candidate, is desperately trying not to be left behind by me or Wilfried. But with me and Wilfried engaged, it's like the next lord's dictated. I want you to take care of your bridesmaid training, too, and Charlotte's side service and Otilier are talking.

Of course, the most important thing I want to take care of is reading. I can do everything I can to expand the printing industry to enjoy reading without worries, but I don't feel like taking bridesmaid training seriously.

... I'm sorry, Otilier. I'm still better off keeping you busy at work than I am at bridesmaid training.

"Dear Rosemayne, is it time for you to head to the conference room?

A leaselator who's finished preparing to head with me speaks up.

As Haltmoot and Filine raised their faces as if they were hazy, they quickly got their stationery and materials in hand and ready to accompany them to the meeting.

The side services that accompany us today are Richarda and Rieserata, and the escort knights are Brother Cornelius, Leonore and Eudit. As I enter the Lesser Bus, I depart towards the conference room on the second floor of the main building.

"I am very nervous that I will be present at the meeting of the Lords' clan."

"Even senior aristocrats have the same tension. I've never had a meeting with a clan of lords before."

Philine's hand shaking holding the stationery. Haltmoot also had a slightly stronger face. Lieselator laughs nicely in a face very similar to Angelica's.

"I'm nervous, too, but you just have to do your job faithfully. What we are asked to do is ensure that we do our job."

... I was wondering if the only similarity between Lieselator and Angelica was her face, but maybe her attitude toward work is similar.

Although there are differences in job descriptions between side service and escort knights, the attitude is very similar to that of doing your job exactly. Angelica is twice as serious and enthusiastic about escorting people, although she completely divides the job of using her head from her own.

Richarda's eagerly educated lizerator with anticipation is amazing in care and attention. Though seemingly plain and difficult to understand, it feels like the things you need are ready where you need them.

Since there is only one escort knight who can enter the conference room, Brother Cornelius enters and Leonore and Eudit wait in a separate room. A large crowd had already gathered in the conference room.

Mr. and Mrs. Lords sat in the upper seat, the second seat being Uncle Bonifatius, followed by the Chief Cleric. Wilfried, I, Charlotte and continue. There are quite a few members of the Lords' clan alone, because they have their own civilian and escort knights, and the side services that support the tea come and go.

Others were on the table of discussion with their mothers, the upper echelons of the civil service, and the upper echelons of the Knights.

"Oh, Rosemaine. Looks like the gods are safe."

My adoptive father invites me to "come this way" and I go with Brother Cornelius. Because civilians and sides have their own work to do.

My adoptive father, whom I hadn't seen up close in a long time, looked very tired. There's a shadow in my eye, and I'm a little powerless to laugh. No, maybe I should say it looks calm. The atmosphere that seemed like that of an elementary school boy makes for an intermediate management who is struggling with being pinched up and down.

"Dear adoptive father, you can see how tired you are..."

"It was predictable at the time I decided to get Wilfried engaged with him. How did you spend your time in the temple?

"Except for divinity, it's always the same. Ferdinand's help in the archaeology of feche peel and devotional dance. Other than that, I sidelined what happened during my absence, held a meeting with the merchants, and inspected the orphanage. I created the magic equipment I needed for the costume I would give to the royal magic equipment, and I could read it. I had free time for two days."

I was able to relax a bit this time, reporting that my adoptive father looked bitter and said, "Aren't you getting a little rest? Too much work," murmured the adoptive mother, "that's all Rosemaine is trying to do. Master Zilvester can work harder," he smiled.

"Thanks to its better gathering of information on the lower town, after the Lords' Conference, I don't think I need to be ashamed of myself. Thanks, Rosemaine."

My adoptive father gently strokes my head and praises me, telling me to take my seat. Apparently it wasn't just isolation that kept me in the temple, it also meant giving me rest. I felt a little strange because I was rarely caressed lightly, even though my hair had been turned in such a way that it was squeaky.

"Now start an urgent discussion on the coming of Aerenfest"

That's what my adoptive father declared, and the meeting began.

The influence of Aerenfest, a mid-territory but wandering down the bottom, is increasing. It is complained that the results of the children's room in winter have been achieved, that the performance of the classroom has improved, that it has disseminated a prevalence that also prevails in the House of Lords, that it has attracted attention in territorial rivalries, that the magic power of the children's generation is expected to increase significantly from now on due to Rosemaine-style magic compression, and that the time has come for attention from other territories to be focused on Aerenfest.

"There will be business dealings in territorial rivalries from all over the place, and we will be dealing hair decorations and phosphors with the centre and with Crassenburg at the Lords' Conference. This is no longer a matter of decision. But Aerenfest, who rarely accepted the leftovers, is not ready to accept merchants from other realms. … Elvira, explain."

"Yes, sir."

When her mother stood up with Katari, she began explaining that Aerenfest was decades behind if she single-handedly compared the materials to other territories about downtown maintenance. It's a story we all already know, but it's important to check and have a common understanding.

"Based on the information on the Lower Town sent by Lady Rosemayne, a study with Lady Wilfried and Lady Charlotte found that the Lower Town's maintenance had been set aside due to lack of magic. We need to get in shape by the time more merchants trade at the Lords' Conference."

When she finishes her mother's explanation, her adoptive father gets up with a nod.

"If there's a way we can do something about the downtown tragedy, we have to do something about it. I also actually carried out inspections, but for us I thought there was no choice but to be dirty because the lower town is where civilians live. I didn't think it was possible for a civilian who couldn't use magic equipment. But no other realm is. They see the same streets as the aristocratic neighborhoods in the lower towns where the civilians spend their time."

Most of the nobles who live in aristocratic neighborhoods never go down to the lower towns. Merchants are a call, and even if you're heading somewhere, you can use a horseman to soak up downtown. "What a terrible place," he said when he had to go by carriage, just waiting to pass.

If you hear that such a lower town is as beautiful as an aristocratic city in other territories, you know exactly how Aerenfest is. It didn't even say from the Guild Commander's letter that it was exactly the same as the aristocratic district, but I'd say it's somewhat daunting to persuade the hard-headed civilians.

"We have to get back decades of delay"

Looking indoors with a giraffed dark green eye, my adoptive father assures me.

"Maintenance of the lower town by Entovickern will be carried out in the period between the prayer ceremony and the Lords' Conference. This is a matter of decision."

"Get Entovickern for downtown maintenance?

"Is there enough magic?

As their surroundings deliberately raised their surprises, the lords and their wives nodded at each other with their gaze for just a moment. What's Entovickern? and doubts flew across my head for a moment, but I soon found out it was the official name for the dramatic Before-after.

Apparently, the dramatic Before-after had already become a decision among the Lords and their wives. After the prayer ceremony, they're going to do a lot of entrovickern with the momentum to use all the magic they've been accumulating.

"Aub Aerenfest commands the Lords clan. Give that magic for Aerenfest!

It was the chief cleric who first moved on to his adoptive father's words. Cross your arms in front of your chest and show your sincerity. My uncle followed it, and I crossed my arms the same way. Cross your arms, as Wilfried and Charlotte also hacked a beat late.

The adoptive father nodded slowly with the approval of all the Lords' clan.

If it is decided to do Entovickern, the next step must be to pack the appointments in detail.

"We have to decide when to do it early and inform the lower town as well"

"We'll have to get the civilians out of the city for a second."

Although the civilians are discussing what steps to take, it's also hard to get all the residents of the lower town out of the city. Can everyone leave with furniture and food? To the words of the civil servants I frowned, thinking of how my family would hold a large quantity of baggage and be sent out of the city.

"Did you kick them all out when you used Entovickern in the aristocratic district? Do you have any material on what happened to the furniture or anything else?... Dear Bonifatius, if you know what happened at the time, why don't you let me know?

When I asked him a question, his uncle told me about the time with joy. In order to also install toilets and baths in the house, they had each house submit a blueprint, on the basis of which the city blueprint was made and Entovickern was done. I had to bring the furniture out to the garden area and it seemed tough.

"Because the lower town isn't just a white building, it's building more on its own. It's hard to handle that extra part."

"... there's no room for just turning all the additions into white buildings. This calculation relates only to the remodeling of the white building."

My adoptive father narrowed his eyes to the words of a civilian. In other words, it seems that only the upstairs to bottom part, which was stone built, can be remodeled, but if you mess with the bottom, the top also collapses. In that case, it means that the people on the upper floors will no longer live there.

"When the additions collapse, there will be a large number of people who cannot live. Because there are many shops and workshops in the part of the white building, and more people live in the wooden part. Besides, many workshops are now moving to make products to welcome the merchants. When it comes to not being able to use the workshop for a long period of time, you cannot do the product. I think the damage is too great."

Even though merchants from other territories are coming, after sending out a large number of refugees, I don't think it's a good idea to hear about the merchandise becoming thin.

The clergyman, who was listening to my opinion, gently clasped his shoulders.

"No matter how much Entvikkern you use, you won't have to make the Lower Town exactly the same as the Noble City. Instead of installing toilets and baths inside all buildings one way or the other, if you do it in the same way as a temple that installs some places to throw away dirt, you won't have to mess with the building?

... Heh, that's how the temple was. I've never known it before.

As far as the life of the temple is concerned, I leave everything to my service, so I never thought about how the treatment of filth was. Apparently, there's a place to dump garbage, and there's the same neva there as the aristocratic district to handle the filth.

"You can install sewage along the road, create a place to throw away dirt, and let them take it to the collection site instead of throwing it out the window, so that it can be serviced without breaking down the building. If you don't mess with the building, I think it will save you a lot of magic."

However, in order to remain beautiful, the cleansing must be carried out as thoroughly as in the temple, and the civilian population must be taught not to wrap around garbage, the chief cleric said to his adoptive father with a difficult face.

"Because the temple is beautiful, shouldn't we let it be the same?

"It's what orphans can do, so if you tell me, even civilians can do it."

"You might be able to teach it, but the question is how to teach it."

The mother, who would also be in charge of the case concerning the maintenance of the lower town, sighed out as if she was in trouble.

It's easy to use Entovickern to make it beautiful, but it's important to know how to use it afterwards and be thorough.

"You can ask Gustav. I guess that's a lot of influence in downtown, huh?

My adoptive father turns his gaze to me. I am the one most familiar with the circumstances of the lower town on this occasion, and I am also the one who explodes my emotions if I treat the lower town too crudely. I know they're telling me to come up with a good idea for Lower Town, and, um, I roar and think.

"The north side of Lower Town is packed with millionaires and big shops, the west side is the market, and the east side is where there are a lot of travellers, so with the reach from Guild Chief Gustav, I think we'll be fine"

Violators will not be able to register their business relationship, or they will no longer have a permit to open a store on the market, and if they are fined for reporting from around them, everyone should take it seriously.

"The problem is south, isn't it? Since millionaires don't stop by in the same lower town and there are many craftsmen, it's unclear how much influence they have, even though they are guild leaders in commercial guilds, if they can be thorough just because they have reached them"

How can we get around to where all the craftsmen and the poor live without a thousand times, make themselves known how to use it, and control the violators?

... Help me, Father!

"Oh, what about using soldiers?

When I struck Pong and his hand, everyone's gaze gathered at once. Look at me as my adoptive father narrows his eyes and explores.

"When it comes to soldiers, are you a civilian gatekeeper?

"Yeah, that's right. According to the soldier I am asking for an escort when I head to the Little Temple of Hasse, the soldier at the gate seems to be looking around for security besides his work as a gatekeeper. Besides, soldiers live more in the south, so if you turn to soldiers from the Knights and order them to be well known and thorough and controlled, they will take care of you."

I just said it once, maybe it won't be a lifestyle. We're going to need someone to tell us over and over and threaten us that it's a reach from the nobles. And that would work better for someone as close as possible.

"The Knights have meetings with soldiers, right? Wouldn't it be better if the date and time of doing Entovickern were also made known on the spot? I think we can get the people to say it, like it's caged in an unaffected house."

"... Hmm, not bad"

As his adoptive father turned his gaze toward the Knights, the knights nodded one as he acknowledged. Civilians will be known through commercial guilds and the Knights through soldiers.

"Um, Aub Aerenfest. If magic could have saved you money, can't you also attach a pipe that cleans and takes in water from the river, not just a pipe to throw away dirt?

Both paper making and dyeing will require large quantities of water. We need plenty of water to grow our future industries. Fortunately there is a big river to the west, so I tried to suggest if I could draw water from it.

"Ferdinand, what do you think of Rosemayne's opinion? Do you think you can use magic equipment to purify the water in the river?

"... too much magic required, given that it will be used all the time. If you don't make improvements to your magic equipment, it won't be a use. However, if we're going to need river water first, why don't we just let the pipes go through first?

If we just put the tube through, it wouldn't be that much of a burden, the chief cleric said.

The adoptive father nodded lightly, ordering the civilians to recalculate the necessary magic and create a blueprint for using Entovickern.

"Then, questions and demands are coming from commercial guilds. How do we distinguish between merchants in a territory that has granted permission in a Lords' Meeting and merchants in a territory that has not? Apparently, there are a lot of bizarre sorcery tools available to civilians in other territories. However, it is difficult to create it from now on until the arrival of merchants from other territories. Is there any easy and effective way to do this?

The only thing that comes to mind with my poor head, such as the identification of merchants, is the Zhu Ship Trade. I have tried to suggest that we issue a Zhu Zheng Letter.

"... not bad, but Aerenfest's own, or something that's hard to imitate."

"So what about using non saving paper for that schinjou?

The chief cleric slowly raised his face and explained to everyone the newly developed nonsave paper at Irkner. Nansave paper is a vegetable paper made from demon trees and has the habit of stopping by large fragments. Even though they knew about the existence of plant paper, they didn't know about the existence of paper made from demon trees. The civilians looked to their surprises.

"If you dye the colors of each territory, give half to a commercial guild and the other half to a trading partner, you'll quickly know which territory merchant you are. Shouldn't we explain it to the trader so that he can have it in a leather bag that won't let his magic pass so that the paper won't move on its own?

If you want to distribute it to a merchant, it should be smaller than the half that a commercial guild has, as you will surely have to cut and give the paper. If you specify the size of the paper to be given to the merchant, there will not be too many merchants, the clergyman said.

... That's not a zhu seal letter, the ticket is closer, well, okay.

"Sounds like an Aerenfest way to tell if you want to sell plant paper from now on. Isn't that good?

When her adoptive mother smiled nicely, her adoptive father decided to use the nonsave paper.

"All right. Buy some non-saving paper from Ilkner and get ready for the Lords' Conference."

"Father, no, Aub Aerenfest. It's better to buy vegetable paper, not just nanosave paper, so that the civilians can use it during the Lords' Conference."

Wilfried spoke as he looked around everyone in the conference room. I can see my voice is only a little up and I'm nervous about speaking out of my tense face as well.

"In the House of Lords, Rosemaine used a lot of botanical paper in her copies and memorandums. So I hear there was someone else in the realm who was interested. Why don't you even try to use vegetable paper at the Lords' Conference?

You didn't think Wilfried would speak, everyone stares at Wilfried with a mouthful and slightly surprised look. Wilfried, who received everyone's gaze, took a small breath and tied his lips together.

Just a few seconds ago, Sin and his quiet voice leaked into the conference room, "Hmm." Everyone's gaze moves towards you.

"Making a civilian hold a piece of paper in a Lords' Conference is a little pricey, but the luggage is grossly smaller and easier to write than a wooden plaque. It would also be a good epidemic transmission to other territories. There's room for thought."

The chief cleric backed Wilfried's opinion. Loosen his expression slightly as Wilfried, who had a strong face, was horrified to see if his opinions were acceptable.

"I see. I have to use it from Aerenfest spreading vegetable paper. Let's consider it."

"At the same time, as Rosemaine was doing in the House of Lords, whoever heads to the Lords' Council should use a phosphor, and women should wear hair decorations. Very eye-catching."

"You've learned a lot in the House of Lords, Wilfried."

My adoptive mother laughs and accepts suggestions from Wilfried.

The meeting was closed after discussing other fine-tuned recipe arrangements that could be extended in the Lords' Conference meal, selling Katorkar recipes to non-tradeable opponents, and how much more trading partners could be done next year.
