Ascendance of a Bookworm

Apprentices and Temples

I went back to my room and began to read the letter I had received from Hannelore. The letter stated that Aerenfest's book was thin and easy to hold and that it was very easy to read because it was written in recent language. If there's anything else, lend it to me, it's tied.

... I'll take care of it! Because I will ask my mother to add more romantic novels for Master Hannelore!

Since my romantic novel has been rejected by the clergyman, I want you to work hard with your mother and your like-minded ladies in writing for the same faction when it comes to romantic novels.

... I'll lend you the Love Story of the House of Lords next. Ugh.

I see the book Hannelore lent me. Because it is thick and decorative and large, it is difficult for me alone to wrap around the first cover. I seriously want a viewing desk with an oblique top plate in the temple library.

Its contents were old stories passed down to Dunkelferger, and the words were elusive and written in old language. It's like I'm reading a scripture or a classic. Though I am good because I am fun.

Though there were many knight stories in there, it still seemed like a patterned land of honor for the martial arts, and no matter how much we lost, we fought, we fought, we fought, we fought... there were many stories that kept us fighting until we won.

The first one has some stories that lead to the Bible, written in a narrative style, but also seems to have a side of the history book.

... If this were really part of a history book, Dunkelferger would have existed almost since his founding. I don't even know if it was conveniently written enough, so I'd like to read books from different territories.

Again, books from other realms are interesting. There's so much I don't know. I'd rather keep a copy of a story I didn't know before.

"We'll be busy traveling the temple and the castle, but please also help Philine and Haltmut"

"Yes, sir."

As a result of talking to my adoptive father, even the temple was treated like an aristocratic neighborhood, allowing apprentices to come and go. Except that you can come and go now, and whether or not the proximity wants to come and go.

"If your family disagrees or feels uncomfortable entering the temple, you don't have to accompany the temple as before."

"No, I'd like to try the temple rice Angelica said."

It's kind of funny how Eudit looks forward to entering and leaving the temple for dinner. Filine asked if she could meet her brother Konrat. Although it would be better to contact Vilma in advance, I do not think there is any particular problem.

Leonore looked troubled, but Brother Cornelius said, "Why don't you go once and see what it's like with your own eyes and then decide what to do?" He decided to follow the advice.

"There are only two escort knights in the room where noble sides can be used in the temple, so please go through, except for the adult escort knight"

"Yes, sir."

The escort knights were all set to take to the temple once. I turn my gaze to the servants.

"What about everyone who serves?

"Me, now I want to do embroidery. Once you have finished making your costume, we would like to see the environment in which Rosemaine grew up…"

"It's okay, Lieselator. The temple won't go away, so please make Schwartz and his costumes your top priority now."

When I recommended embroidery, the reseller reached for the sewing box, laughing with couscous. Since the chief clergyman seems to be restrained in the making of the costume, I urge you ladies with clever hands to do my part.

"Well, I'm also embroidering with the riserator at the castle, aren't I? The temple has a side service, so you don't have any particular work to do if I go, do you?

Trying to do something, Brunhilde said, would take up work on the side of the temple. I didn't even think about that, but you're absolutely right.

"I will devote myself to my work in the castle, but do not call me to meetings on dyes, etc.... Then my father contacted me the other day. They're ready for the printing industry in Grechelle. We were hoping to contact Master Elvira."

"That was a long time ago"

To be honest, I thought it would take more time to get ready to start the printing industry because interacting with civilians would be mandatory.

Brunhilde laughs small.

"I am related to Lord Elvira, and it seems that Geebe Haldenzel has given me a lot of advice"

"So you're going to head to Grechelle with Gutenberg when you're done with your brother Wilfried's final confirmation."

"I will not accompany you then."

To Brunhilde's words, I replied, "Yeah, I'd like some guidance."

Two days after the debriefing, the clergyman, who finished the extraction at the castle, contacted me saying, "I will return to the temple after breakfast tomorrow". I will take all my proximity back to the temple.

"That's a lot of escort knights"

"Think of it as a temple tour of the apprentices today. Civilians can take turns when you don't have a meeting or anything like that, and it's usually enough to have two escort knights, so today we're just going to guide you through the job description and inside the temple. You'll be happy to help more, Mr. Ferdinand?

To help after the 3 bells ring, naturally, I intend to take them all. The chief priest nodded, "Hmm," looking down at the escort knight apprentices in the mood for an excursion, raising the edge of his lips for fun.

I will put Hugo and Rosina on my horseman and return to the temple. I feel strange that there are so many horseback beasts around.

When they reached the temple in large numbers, Fran and Monica were watching as if they were surprised. At the same time, several people in the vicinity make their faces strong as the gray cleric and the gray witch's side service greet them side by side.

"Fran, Monica, this is my side of the temple where I'm going to go in and out. Guys, this is Fran. This is my leading service in the temple. This is Monica. The different places are the same in the sense of those who serve me."

"Thanks to Fran, I can focus on escort duties. Master Ferdinand trained the gray clergy to excel."

Praise Fran as Angelica looks good at escaping small difficult places with Fran's extraction. Kus, and a small laugh leaked, loosening the tension on the spot.

"Then I will change in my room, so in the meantime Darmuel and Angelica will not show you the room used by the escort knight"

"Ha!"

I go into my room with Monica, and also explain the situation to Zahm, who was waiting for me in his room, and he speaks out: "From now on, nobles will come and go, and the days of tension will continue, but good luck".

"I was more prepared than Lord Rosemayne was the adoptive daughter of my lord. It's okay."

"After this, once we have rested, we will come to the help of the Chief Cleric. Of course, we plan to let our neighbors go through life in the temple. We can do it for Darmuel and Brother Eckhardt, so we can all do it, right?

Laughing furiously, when I said so, Fran laughed bitterly, thinking of the early working proximities who had arrived at the temple.

"Dear Angelica, as usual, are you sure you want to guard the door?

"It's important to show the temple as usual."

Zahm and Fran head to the kitchen to prepare their tea, and I ask Monica to get dressed.

"Monica, if a nobleman entering or leaving the temple says something nasty, or somehow feels dangerous, let me know, because it can be just trivial or because of your mind. I don't want everyone in the temple to get hurt in places I don't know."

"Yes, I did. I will report any minor matters."

To my words, Monica laughed a little relieved.

Get dressed in the temple chief's clothes, and I will have them all summoned, and I will recommend Nicola's sweets and Fran's tea.

"It's been a long time since the temple treats. I've never even eaten this at home."

Brother Cornelius reaches out happy and eats. Brother Cornelius, the tallest of the sides, took it and everyone else began to reach out.

"It's very tasty. Angelica and Darmuel have been eating delicious food like this before, haven't they? Dear Rosemaine, I will escort you to the temple as long as I can."

"If you don't have a knight's apprenticeship, you can escort Eudit to the temple."

As always, the Temple's escorts are sufficient in Dermuel and Angelica, so the apprentices have priority in the special training of their uncles.

After the tea, Darmuel explains the escort assignment at the temple, including even the help of the clergyman. Meanwhile, ask Monica to teach the two civilian apprentices, such as the placement of stationery around the concierge.

With Fran I look through and process the letters and wooden plaques that had accumulated during my absence. Letters were received from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce, the Plantan Chamber of Commerce and the Guild Director.

It is written from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce that there are hair decorations for the summer and hair decorations for Ella that I was ordering. The guild chief had asked questions about Vashen and the dyeing competition. The Plantan Chamber of Commerce has written about the safety pins that I had ordered from Johann, and what I want Gutenberg to tell me as soon as he decides where to go next.

"Fran, in three days we shall meet with the guild chief and representatives of the Plantan and Guilberta Chambers of Commerce. Leave me an invitation."

"Yes, sir."

And three bells rang. With Fran and Zahm, I shall take my proximity to the priest's chamber and help him as usual.

As soon as he entered the Cleric Chief's room, Angelica lined up in front of the door with a quick move like "I won't give it to anyone". The escort knight apprentices open their eyes to surprise and see Dermuel with a pocan look who begins his work in a way he is accustomed to with his brother Eckhardt, who is in clerical work.

"This is how I help you every day at the temple, so thank you all."

"... does Master Rosemayne always live like this?

"That's right. Eudit, my hands are stopped."

"If there are so many choreographers, Rosemaine should be taught a new job."

That's what the Chief Cleric says and tells me about my new job. From doing only calculations as they say, it transforms into a way of keeping the temple's budget. It is a great step forward.

When the 4 bells ring and you finish helping the clergyman, it's lunch. The escort knights took turns dining, but Filine and Eudit were impressed by the deliciousness of the temple's rice. Brother Cornelius also eats good rice at home, so he seems a little used to it. I'm just happy with the menu I've never had.

In the meantime, it caught my eye that Leonore was the only one with a face that wouldn't float.

"Leonore looks a lot harder, but didn't fit your mouth?

"No, it was very tasty. … I just wondered if it would be difficult to welcome Rosemayne and Elvira, who eat such dishes on a daily basis."

At the end of lunch, I left my work in the Zahm, which remained in the temple chief's office, and I decided to take my closest men to the orphanage. Filine looks terribly nervous.

"Konrat is fine. Don't worry."

Filine smiles a little in the words of Darmuel, who always follows me to the orphanage as well. Beyond the door, wide open by Fran and Monica, the gray witch and the pre-baptismal children knelt and waited.

"You can all go back to your work. Conrad, come here."

At the end of the greeting, when I speak, the Grey Witches rise and begin to move, mindful of the Haltmoots.

Conrad, whose back was pushed by Dilk, rushed out once toward Filine, noticed his surrounding gaze, and came here in a hurry to walk.

"Sister."

"Konrat, I felt safe looking good. How is life in the temple?

Hugs a contort in gray clothes as Filine laughs happily. Konrat also gave a horrible grin and began to tell Filine about his life in the orphanage.

"Everyone, it's sweet, the rice is delicious, and there's some dilk, so I'm fine. Master Rosemayne told me that my sister lives in the castle. Aren't you lonely?

"I have company to work with, so I'm fine. Though I feel lonely not seeing Konrat."

I exhaled a little relief that Filine and Konrat were talking amicably, and I decided to show everyone else a play corner in the corner with the dining room so they could talk alone.

Brother Cornelius looks out when he sees a few books made so far by the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, cartas and cards as well as some infant toys.

"Do you have all these books and toys in the orphanage!?

"That's right. Aub Aerenfest was also surprised when he was inspected. This is how they use it in orphanages, selling what the kids are happy with in their castles."

I was dressed as a blue cleric then, but it doesn't change the fact that my adoptive father inspected me.

"It is my pride that all but infants can read and calculate here in the orphanage. Now by the time I'm 10, I'll be wearing my basic job as a sidekick."

"I heard you talking about it, but you'd be surprised to actually see it this way"

Leonore also nodded looking around the orphanage dining room as Haltmoot roared and said so.

"Besides, it's a lot prettier than I thought when I heard the rumors."

"Everyone is clean, so everywhere in the temple is beautiful. Children behave well because of their education."

As I laughed and bragged about the orphans, Vilma laughed nicely with the Virgin's smile.

"Master Rosemaine has given us this life. We are all very grateful to Lady Rosemaine."

As soon as Vilma said so, Haltmoot embarked on a little bit of himself.

"I'd like to hear more about what Rosemaine did at the temple..."

Seems surprised by the momentum of Haltmoot, Burma took a step back. Seeing it, I confront Hartmoot, sheltering Burma, whom men do not like.

"Hartmoot, I will not tolerate imperfect imitation of Burma in my orphanage."

Spread your hands and when I sheltered Vilma on my back, I looked like Haltmut was distracted, "What is an imperfect..." Vilma laughs couscous watching us interact like that.

"Dear Haltmoot, when we talk about how wonderful Rosemayne is, it gets very long. Looks like you don't have time today, so I'll wrap it up next time."

"Vilma!?

"Oh, I look forward to the legend of the Virgin against the temple and orphans"

Haltmut began to look lively with his orange eyes shining.

... I should have sheltered Vilma.

Why do we start talking about the legend of the Virgin, as Hartmoot and Vilma intended? I can't solve it.

Three days after civilian apprenticeships and escort knight apprenticeships enter and leave the temple, there is an appointment between the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce and the Plantain Chamber of Commerce and the Guild Chief. Hartmoot, who was allowed to be present in discussions with the Lower Town, also looked like he would enjoy himself while heading to the orphan dean's office.

"Dear Rosemaine, what kind of talk do you have with the merchants in Lower Town?

"The primary purpose is to hear what's going on in the lower town after the Entovickern takes place. Other than that, I will receive the items I have ordered from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce and talk to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce about where Gutenberg is headed next. And the guild leader is talking about accepting merchants from other realms."

I enter the orphan dean's office as Haltmut makes a note and sees Filine imitate the behavior. Angelica stands at the door, and the escorts inside are Darmuel and Brother Cornelius. Leonore and Eudit are absent because of the special training day.

Entering the orphan dean's office, where Monica and Nicola had been ready earlier, Philine, Brother Cornelius and Haltmut looked around intriguingly.

Um, and Hartmoot, who was narrowing his eyes and looking around, turns this way.

"I don't think the furniture grade fits Master Rosemaine..."

That would be so. I hear the former orphan dean was an intermediate aristocratic equivalent. In other words, the furniture here belonged to an intermediate aristocracy. It is too high for me in my civilian years and too low from the standpoint of being the adopted daughter of my present lord.

"It's not the furniture I deserve for my lord's adoptive daughter, because it's the room and furniture I used when I didn't know your father's status. But now that we're only using it to talk to the folks in Lower Town, we won't even have to bother to replace it, will we?

"I think it would be useful to replace the furniture in order to show the people of Lower Town what Rosemaine looks like."

Haltmoot says what he deserves as a lord's adopted daughter, but where the hell does that money come from? It's not something I use every day, but it's a waste and I don't feel like replacing it.

"Haltmoot, whoever meets here in Lower Town knows my place. Besides, for the civilian population, it's just something that can be put together as a nobility. It doesn't particularly change where the furniture has been changed. If I had the money to replace a piece of furniture that I don't use much, I'd use it for something more important."

"More important...... something else, is it?

Hartmoot seems obsessed with creating a room that matches his character, and he can't think of a "different thing".

"Buying books, more printing presses, making it a cost to build a library, making it a cost to develop a new bookshelf... you'd have a lot of effective money to spend, wouldn't you? If we want to create a new epidemic, it will cost money to research and to develop human resources. Isn't it more important than furniture?"

"Dear Rosemaine, it is very important for the aristocrats to have the environment they deserve."

Brother Cornelius smiles bitterly and provides support for Haltmut. And I nodded, saying, Create the environment which I deserve.

"Okay. I will make every effort to save money and buy one book after another so that I can create the library that my lord's adopted daughter deserves."

"No. We're not talking about the library."

Talking to Brother Cornelius like that, Fran set the tea schedule and came upstairs.

"Dear Rosemaine, it is time for you to arrive"

A voice of arrival is heard from Angelica to answer Fran's words, and the door is opened. Gil brought everyone up. I see the guild chief and Frieda and their sides, Benno and Marc and Lutz, Otto and Tulli and Theo.

Haltmut and Filine, and, seeing the number of escort knights increasing, the guild chief greeted him with particular care. After I have answered it, I recommend a seat. Only three of them sit down, the guild chief and Benno and Otto, who are their representatives.

"The Lords' Conference is over and the deal will begin with the Central and Crassenburg as planned. I'll give you a checklist to identify the merchant. Haltmoot."

I ask Haltmoot to speak up and give out half the parcel of paper I gave to the centre and to Crassemburg. It is black in the centre and red in Classenburg, both in the colour of their respective territories. Thanks to Heidi for making the color ink, it was very discernible.

I cut the edge of the sheet of paper into small pieces and teach them how to use it.

"In this way the shelving paper has the nature of gathering small pieces of paper in large pieces. Find out if the pieces of paper brought in by the merchant are really close. It specifies that the size of the paper to be given to the merchant should be greater than this plate, so it cannot be divided into more than 8. At first, the number of merchants should also be limited. It's a violation if it was too small a piece of paper, so you don't have to trade it. If you need anything, we'll deal with it here."

"Is it a magic device that can also be used by civilians? This will help."

The guild leader carefully takes the counterpart and passes it to the side service. I listened to what was going on in the lower town, reflecting it on the edge of my sight to clean it up politely.

"How's it going in Lower Town? Are you able to maintain an unashamed look when other merchants step in?

I would have been able to beautify the city in Entovickern and Vashen, but if the civilians who usually live don't use it with care, it's Ami the original tree in no time.

The guild leader nodded slowly to my question.

"I was caged in a commercial guild and looked down through the window at Central Park to see what would happen the day there was the circular, but I was really surprised. Suddenly I wondered if a strange light had surfaced in the sky, because in the next moment the water came down so much that the windows and doors said Mississippi. Water came in through windows and door gaps, and when I couldn't move away from the windows, there were no more traces of water, and under the roads and buildings of the lower town it was more white and monochromatic like a noble city. No, we were told beforehand, but the Lord's help is amazing."

... That's Vashen the Cleric Chief did, not Entvikkern the adoptive father worked hard for, right?

Vashen, who cleaned the city all at once, seemed to have a stronger impression than Entvikkern, who moved an almost invisible underground, but, well, good. It's no different that the Lords worked hard to clean the lower town.

"We haven't heard of anything, especially by witchcraft, as the circulars from the commercial guild and from the soldiers spread at the same time and there were no people in the city"

... Good, good. No one seemed to have drowned or had a cardiac arrest in Vashen.

"In both the lower and southern parts of town, even when the windows and doors were closed, the water entered the house and it seemed to be cleaned up to the inside of the room"

That's what Benno said as he turned his gaze to Lutz. I said, "What happened?" Staring at Lutz with intrigue, Lutz turns his gaze off like he's in trouble.

"My mother told me that if I kept the window wide open, the whole house would be beautiful."

Aunt Carla opened the window wide and a diagram came to my mind waiting for Vashen, and I almost laughed. If I had as much stability as Aunt Carla, Vashen wouldn't seem to flush me either.

"That magic is a lot of work, so it's not something you can do at any time. Are you able to stay clean?

To my words, Tulli narrows his eyes and smiles.

"That's already... Soldiers, including my father, go around the city with great care, so now Aerenfest sees beautiful streets from north to south."

Apparently, it wasn't in vain that I was able to talk to my father and the soldiers in Hasse. I laugh furiously at the hard work of my fathers.

"I'm relieved of that. And what I'm feeling anxious about will be more merchants coming to Aerenfest at once from the margins, but are there enough lodging and dining places?

"As for the inn, it's not something you can suddenly increase. Not enough for Aerenfest, especially since higher-quality accommodation has never been so necessary. This year, we welcome you at the big store, so that you can prepare the owners of the big store to stay with the merchants."

He's restricting the merchants somewhat, so he's going to manage with the help of the lodgers and the merchants, says the guild chief. And they're going to use an Italian restaurant as a dining place to welcome merchants from other territories. It's about extending Aerenfest's new dishes to other territories at the Lords' Conference, and maybe just fine.

"Dear Rosemaine, if time permits, please take us to an Italian restaurant. We can rest assured that there are no problems in welcoming merchants from other territories or that we can check with our co-sponsor, Rosemaine."

That's what Frieda, who is involved in running an Italian restaurant, said in a hazy tone. At the same time as confirming the new menu, he said that a word to the main store would make a lot of difference in the cooperative attitude.

"We don't just take on merchants from other realms at once, we often ask the owners of the big stores to help us, such as putting in or holding dyes from other realms, so we don't mind enough to speak up. Find your time early and visit an Italian restaurant as you get busy after the summer platter"

"I'm afraid so. Enjoy the new menu"

Frieda laughed happily.

"Detailed days will come after obtaining permission from the Chief Cleric. Fran, do you know when you can afford it?

"It seems that it will be either from now on until the spring mitzvah takes place, or from the end of the summer baptism to the star knot ritual. Before the merchants arrive, I will immediately request a visit from the Chief Cleric."

"So, please."

When it comes to asking the owners of the big shops to cooperate in an Italian restaurant and at the same time inspecting the situation in the lower town, my adoptive father may come because it's interesting. That's what I thought, and I was hacked.

"Frieda, I know it's tough, but can I ask you to train a cook, too? Aub Aerenfest wants more court cooks in the castle by the next winter. If you weren't the one who could make my recipe, you wouldn't be a warrior, would you? Don't raise a successor or a hopeful person right now because you may get pulled out of it."

My adoptive father said there weren't enough cooks at the Lords' Conference. Italian restaurants are the most eye-catching if they are the pull out of a cook who can make my recipes.

"Okay. We'll take care of it right away."

Frieda, with a tightened expression, wrote down her plans as soon as she opened the bookboard.
