Ascendance of a Bookworm

When I finished talking about Italian restaurants, I turned my gaze from Frieda to the face of the Plantan Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps Haltmut and Filine, standing behind my left, also turned their gaze, Benno, Lutz and Marc correct their spines.

"The Plantan Chamber of Commerce has a story about the printing industry. Looks like we're getting ready for printing in Grechelle."

"Is it Grechelle? I didn't expect the printing industry to be ready any faster than the paper mill."

That's what Benno said and looked lightly. But when I say, "Grechelle seems to be close to Haldenzel, and she has cooperated," I nod several times, as I was convinced.

"Unlike Haldenzel, Grechel also has a paper mill planned. It's not just the printing association, it's the plant paper association that needs to be set up."

When I told him, Marc and Lutz began to write on the calligraphy board.

To make time for writing, I look up to Gil standing next to my right.

"I have a trip to the paper mill, so Gil should also decide who to send out of the Rosemaine workshop and be prepared."

"Since the division of the squad is finished as instructed by Master Rosemaine, it's okay to call whenever it takes"

"Oh, that's my side, my reliability"

Laughing furiously and praising Gil, Gil raises the edge of his lips as if he was just a little better at it. If it were always, I would give a little more joyful emotion, but that also seems difficult on this occasion with more nobility.

"After this, you will be moving Gutenberg after a final check by the civilians to see if you are really ready for what you need in Grechel. Speak up to Gutenberg and be prepared so that you can move when you call the convocation. This year's trip is also scheduled for the Harvest Festival."

"Yes, I did. What do we do about this trip?

Benno has looked at me with a slight reddish brown eye. They asked me scattered stupidity that the carriage journey was tough, so I must be saying, "Get the beast out as far as you can". If the journey takes several days, the cost is multiplied, for example, for food and accommodation. I am the one who wants to expand the printing industry, so I intend to cooperate as much as possible.

Since Brunhilde will also accompany Grechel, I am also to go. There's nothing wrong with taking Gutenberg.

"The journey will take place with my horseman. Get ready with your intentions."

"I'm afraid so. That's very helpful."

Benno thanked him as he was horrified. And he looked back, "... Lutz, give me a prototype of the pin," and gave instructions.

He nodded at Benno's words and removed the safety pin wrapped in cloth from the box Lutz had in his hand. And he offers it to me in a respectful manner.

"Dear Rosemaine, this is the anzempin you were ordering. It is the work of Danilo, the disciple of Johan. If you were satisfied with this prototype, we said we would have all the copies you ordered."

I take the safety pin Lutz gave me and look around and pin it on or off to confirm the movement. The safety pins are made of proper details, as ordered. The title of Johan's disciple does not appear to be Dada.

"Well done. Tell Danilo to get the numbers right."

I said, "Shall I also give Danilo the title of Gutenberg?," he murmured, Lutz slowly shaking his neck to the side.

"If we were to get the title of Gutenberg as Johan's apprentice, we wouldn't talk about it unless we could make a metal typeface," Johan said.

"That's the original Gutenberg. You're tough on your job. Please tell Danilo we're looking forward to winning the pass soon."

When I laughed at Lutz and said so, Lutz also narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Yes, I did. I'll be sure to tell him. Then, this is a formatted form currently being created at Rosemaine Workshop, would it be okay to start using this first in Lower Town?

Documents to keep the format in order to avoid confusion when merchants from other territories arrive. Gil had reported that he would try it at the Plantan Chamber of Commerce for ease of use. As soon as possible, it must also be incorporated into the commercial guild so that officials can get used to the format before merchants from other territories arrive.

"There won't be a problem. I will also buy you a little as a sample and negotiate with my adoptive father to see if you can use it in the castle. Marc, how does it feel to try it out at the Plantan Chamber of Commerce? Making your job a little easier?

"Just formatting the paperwork made it a lot easier"

Lutz nodded several times next to Marc as he deepened his grin. If it had been easier at the Plantain Chamber of Commerce, it would have been easier to incorporate even commercial guilds.

"This time we've created a format for merchants in other realms, but if it's easier, you can think about creating another format."

"If you're going to use paper that way, you might want to increase the number of paper mills to lower the price."

Benno glances at the fact that the price should be lowered as much as possible for us to use it conveniently. Though you call me "acute," I think Benno is quite acute when he benefits himself, too.

"In order to expand the printing industry, it has been decided that there will be more paper mills, but it will be difficult to increase them immediately, as the extent to which they can be increased will depend on the number of craftsmen that can be dispatched"

"As Lady Rosemaine said, teaching you how to make paper takes a lot of time, sir"

I went to Ilkner and Haldenzel and exhaled with a small grunt that Benno "You Were," to Lutz's words, which I have taught the locals.

After laughing, Kus, I turn my gaze from the Plantan Chamber of Commerce to the face of the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce. Otto, Touri and Theo. Touri grinned happily, raising only a few boxes in his hand. I nod softly at the silent appeal of "I have hair decorations in here".

"I have been contacted that I have a summer hair decoration. Touri, can I see it?

"It's this way. Take a look."

Touri gently removes the box and carefully opens the lid. I could see that Filine, who was holding back behind me, embarked upon herself only a little intriguingly.

In the box, two large flowers with beautiful gradients that used mainly the precious color of summer, blue, and gradually changed towards the tip of the petal to white, entered my eyes. The flowers are surrounded by several types of leaves, which, once decorated, can also be seen close to the dripping and swinging yellow and green.

Since my hair is blue, it seems difficult to make flowers based on blue. I can see that Touri thought of things and devised them.

"How about it, Master Rosemaine?

Touri, who's narrowing his eyes, says, "You worked hard, didn't you? It looks like you're saying." I shifted my body only slightly and turned my head to Thuri.

"Would you like to try it on?

"Yes, sir."

Haltmoot and Filine take a few steps back to vacate the place. Toori came there with her hair decorations with a tense face. It removes the hair decoration I'm wearing right now and adds a new hair decoration. I could see the dripping leaf area shaking faintly in my ear.

"What do you think, Philine?

Filine is the only woman on this scene. When I spoke to Filine, Tulli combined her hands in front of her chest all the time. I was usually the only one who decided to make the purchase, so I found Tulli terribly nervous waiting for Filine to react.

Philine peeks into the hair decorations and laughs softly after seeing them both from the top and from the side.

"Very beautiful, Master Rosemaine"

Tulli seemed relieved by the words, too. I pulled out my shoulder and smiled happily. I had my hair decorations undone and softly touched the new hair decorations as I alternated between Touri and Otto.

"Now buy your summer hair decorations here"

"I'm afraid so. Then I have some suggestions for costumes to go with this hair decoration. Touri, who makes hair decorations, thought of the original proposal and Corinna reworked it a little. How about that?

That's what Otto showed me was the first costume proposal designed by Touri. Would it be easy to understand when it comes to the luxurious version of the sunny clothes I wore at my Lower Town Baptist Ceremony?

The balloon-shaped skirt that picks the hem, made with a fix in winter, was reputable, so that is the off-shoulder outfit that was incorporated. The tuck on the chest seems to be supposed to use lace, with hair decorations and matching, but with a slightly smaller flower on the chest. I liked the nostalgic design at a glance.

"I'll invite you to the castle soon, so please bring me a candidate cloth so I can order this one. I liked it, but in order to place a formal order, I had to hear from my mother and other servants."

My costume is likely to dictate fashion, so I need to show it to my adoptive mother and mother. And it's also important to know what Richarda and Brunhilde think when they focus on choosing costumes. "If it's a Touri design, I'll buy it," I want to make an instant ruling, but where I can't do it is just a little more inconvenient.

"I'm afraid so. We look forward to hearing from you."

Otto says so and smiles, laughing as if Thuri is good at it. I was also very happy to see that Thuri was desperately studying to reach for the costume as well as the hair decorations.

... Come on, Touri.

"Then this is the hair decoration I chose for Ella. I think they both look good on Ella, but I've never seen Ella clear. Do you know Master Rosemaine?

What Thuri gave me was a different color hair decoration between white and yellow. It's a hair decoration with lots of small flowers and lots of green leaves in different colors. To be honest, I've never seen Ella's sundress either. I was born in the spring, so although I know it will only be based on the precious green.

I chose a yellow flower that suited Ella's hair because I found that Touri was choosing a hair decoration that was diverse in greenery so that it would suit any shade of green costume.

"Here we are."

I will match my guild card with Otto's card to finish the settlement of Ella's hair decorations. My hair decorations and costumes will have to be paid for by the clergyman, so I will pay for them later.

"How about dyeing? Are the craftsmen doing their best?

"That's already... Every workshop seems to want to finish their normal work as soon as possible and make some time for research."

When Otto, who looked around at the workshop, said so, Thuri nodded several times as well. The people involved in dyeing seem to be lively, especially the younger generation desperate to acquire it as a new technology.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I ask you a few questions?

The guild leader opened his mouth once he turned his gaze to Otto.

"I have an offer from the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce to the Dyeing Association. On a suggestion from Lady Rosemaine, she's hosting a massive dye event..."

"Yeah, that's right. Didn't the guild chief say that too? He said it would be better to increase exclusivity. I want to see a dyed cloth to decide who it's going to be dedicated to."

I was also told to decide on exclusivity other than Gutenberg because I am less exclusive, so if the craftsman is willing, well, okay. It's a dye competition that's somehow decided on what to do, but it can't stop more than your mother, adoptive mother, and Brunhilde are willing to do.

The guild chief who was given his statement narrowed his eyes only slightly.

"I heard Master Rosemayne hopes to revive old technology, but about that?

"Of course, I know it would be nice to be able to revive a technology that has long been obsolete. Isn't there a variety of ways to dye rather than just a single color cloth? I want diversity."

Standing behind the guild length whining "Diversity" as he stroked his jaw, Frieda looked at me with a funny, troubled face.

"I understand what Master Rosemaine said, but the revival of old technology is not an easy one. We don't have enough time at the end of summer."

"I'm not asking you to replicate the old technology exactly the way it was. I'm just trying to make a costume for this winter with a cloth that uses wax-containing. I think it's up to dyeing workshops and artisans to decide how to use the technology informed by the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce to the Dyeing Association."

Neither do I believe that old craftsmanship can be fully reproduced in less than six months. We're giving tips, so we can create new technologies.

"Aerenfest also had various technologies, so I think it's a good idea to review them. And if possible, now I'm glad the Dyeing Association thinks about writing down how to dye and saving the technology."

"Is this the preservation of technology? You say something interesting again."

Frieda blinks and the guild leader exhales slowly.

"So, no matter what, we're holding it at the end of the summer," he said?

I know they say don't bother me when merchants from other realms come and say that I may be in an unprecedented state of confusion, but there's nothing I can do about all this.

"If it's just me, it's easy to postpone, but I'm now required to report on anything. As a result of reporting to the castle about the dye, several senior noblemen, starting with my adoptive mother, are interested and cannot be stopped easily."

I opened my eyes so wide that my eyeballs seemed to pop out that everyone looked at me. I think Benno's face says, "I didn't hear you."

"... starting with Mrs. Lords, a few senior aristocrats, is it? It's going to be on an unexpected scale."

"I also feel that things are getting bigger than I expected, but I can't stop what started once."

The guild chief exhaled slowly with a face that said "headache," and Benno became a little distant when his mother waved him impotent in print.

"Things have gotten bigger, but if you look at them differently, it will be a good opportunity to show strength not only to me, but also to other nobles, so artisans will be more motivated than I am to see alone, right? If you have ten people, you have ten preferences."

I think there will be many craftsmen who can get their feet lit and get caught exclusively if they take the form of voting for something they like for each of them, like the Katorkar tastings.

"It will be hard for the guild leaders to keep track of the trends of the various associations, but I think you should leave some to the dyeing associations and do your best to deal with the merchants of other territories yourself. As for the event, we will discuss it with the adoptive mothers and will contact the Guild Director and the president of the Dyeing Association through the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce as soon as we have decided on the location and timing of the event."

The guild chief pushed as hard as he could without taking the job in, and this discussion was over.

Drop everyone off and I will return to the temple chief's office. I still have time to get to the 6 bells for dinner, so I want to make a copy of the book I borrowed from Hannelore. As I asked Fran to prepare the paper and ink, Haltmut groaned as he looked at me.

"Master Rosemayne is a lot closer to the people of Lower Town, isn't he? Everyone was in possession of a calligraphy board."

"Booklets are very useful for civilians whose paper is expensive and inexpensive to use. Because you can also turn it off. I think it extends from my side of the service and Gutenberg to the lower town.... although not many people can write letters, so it won't be as wide a range"

I gave the gray clerics heading to Hasse's little temple... and when I said it, Haltmoot looked terribly envious.

"If Haltmoot also wants a bookboard, may I introduce you to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce?

"No, I want to be given to you by Master Rosemaine. Isn't it like a sign of Rosemayne's trust if it is to serve the temple or be given to Gutenberg?"

And it came to pass, that I remembered that I had not given it unto the vicinity of the aristocracy.

"... I don't know how close I am to being happy to get a bookboard, and if I give it to the side, another thing might be good. Ask the Chief Cleric for his opinion and think of something."

Happily Haltmut narrows his eyes. It is true that Haltmut is excellent and helpful, although he is rampant in strange directions in the legend of the Virgin. As I would have complimented Gil if he'd done his job, so would my closest friends.

To be honest, nobility is not sure, though it passes if you give them what they need to serve the lower town or the temple, or that's what you praise them for in words.

I looked around at my side in the room.

"How do you feel that nobility is being praised?

"I want the magic of Lord Rosemaine!

"Isn't it forbidden by Master Ferdinand!

Although Angelica answered best, Darmuel and Brother Cornelius, who knew the moment when Stynrook was born, immediately rejected it.

"Ask the Cleric Chief how much credit you have and what is right to give before you decide. If you decide on your own, you'll be scolded again."

Brother Cornelius said in my words, "That's important. Because Master Ferdinand's sermon is long," he laughed.

"I would be happy to give anything to Master Rosemayne."

I wanted to give anything to Filine to say such a cute thing.

... Yeah, you have to ask the clergyman properly. If I'd left it to my mood to give you anything, I'd be absolutely pissed off.

While we're talking about that, it looks like the copies are ready. Me and Filine are going to copy the book we borrowed from Hannelore. Filine remains the original, while I fix the present language.

"... This book is old and hard to rhetoric. How can Master Rosemaine be so slutty?

"I am familiar with the first book I read because it was scripture, and half the books in the temple were old rhetoric. This copy will be a good study for Filine."

"I'll do my best"

Haltmut, who was writing something by himself, caught my eye next to me and Filine making copies.

"What is Haltmoot doing?

"I'm working on my own research. We've discovered new facts."

... Is that, maybe, my research? Stop it!

And when I tried to stop, did I perceive it, and Haltmut put down his pen, and looked at me? Because it was a serious face, I unwittingly stop reaching out.

"Nevertheless, I was surprised that Lady Rosemaine did not expect to be having such discussions with civilians"

Discussions with civilians are basically what the aristocratic side orders and ends with. As a civilian apprentice, for Hartmoot, who worked with other civilians in the castle, the civilians came to the gaze room, apparently silently listening to orders.

"Neither will the lower aristocratic opponents hear or report opinions like that in the castle"

"I am in trouble with the way I do it. I think the aristocrats could be a little more concerned with those down there."

Philine, a lower aristocrat, looked at me with joy, but a senior aristocrat, a basically concerned being, Haltmoot has a face that doesn't pin. I flashed my shoulders lightly.

"Even aristocrats create epidemics, but civilians create their goods. If we want to extend the epidemic that we have created to other territories, working with civilians is essential. that part. So Aerenfest will always be a lower realm, I'm sure."

"Is it?

"If nobility thinks of the epidemic and civilians make it, nobility is the head of thinking, and civilians are like hands and feet, right? If you do all the orders and use them in an impossible way and crush the civilian population, you won't be able to move this time"

Hartmoot quietly contemplates in my words.

"Those I met at today's meeting, starting with Gutenberg, are like my hands and feet. Without them, no vegetable paper could have been done, and no cattle curls, no cartas, no cards would have been born. It's also civilians who cook food and treats. I only thought, and it was they who actually went about anything. Therefore, the crushing of Gutenberg by the other nobles is tantamount to the crushing of my own hands and feet for me."

... so I won't allow extra handouts no matter what.

When I laughed nicely with that meaning in mind, Hartmoot seemed to read the meaning firmly. "Yes, I did. We will keep a close eye on Master Rosemaine's hands and feet so that the civilians don't crush them," he said with a grin.

"It would be nice if the civilians also knew that if they didn't align themselves with the civilians, they wouldn't be able to expect major developments, but it would be difficult to change the stained mindset,"

When I sighed softly, Hartmoot agreed with a difficult face, "You sure are".
