Ascendance of a Bookworm

Now that the meeting was over, the clergyman thought he was going back to Aerenfest, but he wasn't. He began to work with Justkus to check the progress of the civil servants' territorial rivalry and give instructions to include the announcement of new research results.

"What the hell do you add research to?

"It's a brief study on biblical celebrations. Perhaps in anticipation of my return, Dr. Hirschühl has decided to come and ask me if I have any material to learn more about the Bible. That's when I said I'd announce it in a confrontation, and I needed it to get rid of it."

He hastily tailored the results of his research from the memorandum I gave to the clergyman for later follow-up. It is well finished with research results that can be presented from a memorandum that only wrote down what came to mind.

... That's Mad Scientist. That's amazing.

The chief clergyman says, "I don't want to be called in again and again," and gives instructions to Haltmoot.

"May I see a little?

A study on the celebration of the parts easily seen even in the blue clergy, it was written about water, fire, wind, and earth. The truth is that it seemed the perfect time for me to announce it at next year's territorial rivalry where I would take a civilian course. But this time, he couldn't show the temple chief's scripture, so he's been sorting out the hard spots from among the copies.

"But whose research do you make this? It is natural because I am known to grow temples, but ordinary nobles do not enter temples, and I have little chance to see the scriptures, even though they are copies."

"Isn't it up to Haltmoot? It also helps to study the legend of the Virgin. If it's a study I started after it became a side of Rosemaine, it explains some roughness and simplicity."

They don't have enough quality or quantity for the research results of the top students. But Haltmoot has some research he's already prepared for himself, so he doesn't have any particular problems for adding it. The only problem, he said, is that he can be seen from around him as a freak frequented into and out of the temple.

"For me, who is already famous as a follower of Rosemaine, now is the time."

Haltmut grinned refreshingly with a nice nickel and a good per capita smile, but the content of the statement is not refreshing at all.

"When were you getting famous!?

"It was when Master Rosemaine was in a long sleep."

He had already spread the legend of the Virgin since I went to the House of Lords after I blessed him while pulling the fesh peel at the unveiling. Hartmoot said it was the set up that his adoptive father described for the nobility.

... The first Prince Anastasius I ever met saw me with a frigid eye!

"Hartmoot wasn't near me then, was he?

"My mother has a runoff. I was told to calm down, get informed, think carefully, and wait a year, but my mind was already close."

... Wow! How can you sound so different when what you're saying is similar to Rhoderich that you've been a subordinate before you got to the side!? O'Tillier, it looks like your son hasn't settled down in years!

After giving instructions to the civilian apprentices regarding the territorial rivalry, the chief clergyman assembled the Lordship Candidates and their side services. It is a countermeasure meeting about my tea party participation.

... If you let me read in your room, that's fine with me, but I can't. Yikes.

Let me get out of my room and live a normal aristocratic life, which means I have to go out to a minimal tea party because Richarda is strained and Brunhilde is happy to finally be able to transmit the epidemic with his Lord.

"But now the Tea Party has Aerenfest books to talk about, right? I'm not sure I'm going to fall."

As I stated to the clergyman that I did not want to go to the Tea Party as much as possible, the clergyman offered me a necklace with a number of fairly large demonic stones.

"Wear this when you go to the tea party. As soon as this demon stone is stained more than half way, leave the tea party. Others already know that you are weak and unconscious. [M] If you say you feel bad and you are going to lose consciousness as it is, you will be allowed to leave"

Compared to being suddenly collapsed in front of you, it is heart-friendly for tea party participants and organizers. And if you see the color of the demon stone changing, it's easy to put a stop to the side service, the chief cleric says. They use it at prayer and service ceremonies, so it won't even be a waste of magic.

... I look like a serious charger.

"It's just that when Rosemaine leaves on the way, she's bound to need someone to take care of her later at the tea party. So don't attend anything other than a tea party where Charlotte can be present."

Exiting along the way, you can't leave him alone, said the chief cleric, Wilfried showed difficulty.

"Uncle, then Charlotte is overburdened. I was admitted to the House of Lords and I'm still not used to socializing. Shouldn't we refrain from Rosemaine's participation until Charlotte gets used to it a little more?

There is no way I could argue with Wilfried that the burden of pressing on freshman Charlotte was too heavy, and I was dropped. Whatever the library's tea party is, the inter-territorial tea party isn't where you want to go until you strain Charlotte.

... so you say you want to read the book quietly in your room.

It was almost at the same time that I exhaled softly and that the Cleric Chief looked down at Vilfleet with a cold, angry eye and sighed.

"As always, it's all about the moment, and you can't see ahead."

"Become!?

"If we don't let Rosemaine have as much social experience as possible in the House of Lords right now, isn't it the one in trouble? I have to be the next Lordship and attend the Lordship Council, but I have to take the First Lady who can't socialize. There will be no Charlotte to ask for later. Sister thoughts are fine, but if you're going to be the next lord, look no further than that."

Instead, he begged Charlotte for help even on his knees, and when the chief cleric reprimanded Wilfried, now Wilfried was dropped.

"Charlotte, I think you're solid for your age because you grew up looking at your brother and sister who you can't rely on. I know it's a burden, but I want you to accompany me to Rosemaine's tea party."

"It is difficult for me to create fashions and new businesses in my territory like my sister, so I will do my best where I think I can"

Motivated Charlotte is dazzling. But the Noble Tea Party is a long way from conversation, a belly searching. Originally, inexperienced Charlotte should have been able to participate while being protected by her brother and sister. Yet I, my sister, must attend the tea party while following you in my luggage.

... I'm Charlotte's lovely sister disqualified? I wish I could be a reliable sister like Touri.

I let myself down by the words I thought of myself. Predicting what I'm going to do, I'm not going to be able to work as hard as I can for a reliable sister like Thuri who was making me a spare arm in the beginning, or thinking about designing hair decorations.

"I don't want to burden Charlotte that much, so I don't want to attend a tea party and read a book in my room."

"If I could, maybe it would be best if I gave you a book and locked you in one room, but then I would have explained earlier that you would be in trouble later? What the hell were you listening to? We're just going to have to participate while we figure out what to do."

And it came to pass that Richarda stood up to shelter me from the chief priest.

"What the hell were you asking? The word will be given back to Ferdinand Fong as it is. For a long time, I should have said it over and over again. Boy tends to be a tough word all the time, so choose often, he said. Didn't you hear?

Seeing the clergyman lay down his gaze slightly, Richarda shook his head in sigh.

"I know that Ferdinand Fong is doing everything for the princess by making magic equipment like this and thinking about measures, but your words are too tight for a princess who can't even enjoy her favorite topic at a tea party with her friends"

After saying so, Richarda stares at Vilfleet.

"So is Wilfried Boy. Perhaps I can't help but think of a burden on the boy who runs to me at the end of every day, but he doesn't fall because he wants to fall with the princess. Isn't it natural for you to have feelings for the topic of your choice? It's like being told never to be happy when you beat Gevinnen, who's obsessed with you, if you're happy, don't participate."

Wilfried changed his complexion and looked at me with grate.

"I'm sorry, Rosemaine. I didn't mean to be mean like that. Unlike last year, there was Charlotte, and I would never be summoned to a woman's tea party, so I thought it was definitely better to leave it to one Charlotte than to fall at a tea party..."

In the words of Wilfried, I exhale lightly. I knew full well that it was not an offensive or mean word, nor that it would be more peaceful for Aerenfest for me not to be at the Tea Party.

... Aren't you happy for everyone that I'm caged in your room reading?

"Princess, don't look like that. This is inherently the responsibility of serving the princess so she can enjoy the tea party until the end."

To the words of Richarda I returned to me. I was wondering if I could pull a cage, so I made a difficult face, not a face sad about not being able to go out to a tea party.

"I'm not thinking about that. Side service is a lot to think about, and you're always trying. I know."

"If that's what the princess thinks, give us a few more chances."

We'll have to go to the tea party a few times and gain experience on when the side servants are overflowing with magic, how long it will be okay, and how we can avoid it and finish the tea party safely, Richarda says.

"I've lost consciousness twice and finished the tea party, so I know the princess will be cowardly about the tea party, but I won't even grow up to serve her side if I don't gain experience. Even at the library tea party, if you had demon stones around to talk about your book rentals and thoughts, why not join the tea party using the necklace that Ferdinand Fong prepared for you?

My heart moved a little on Richarda's words. I did enjoy the tea party in a good way until the Royal Palace Library topic came up. If you're not banned from talking about books altogether, I'd like to join you for a moment.

... you're interested in hearing what the book thinks and what it tells you in other territories.

As I saw through my swinging heart, Charlotte took my hand and stared with blue eyes containing a little sorrow.

"Sister. I was looking forward to having you with my sister at the tea party. I've been eager to get back from Aerenfest, so I'm glad you're coming with us for our next tea party."

... Do you want to be with your sister? If you say such cute things, you'll have to go as a sister!

"Okay. Let's go together next time."

Hehe, laughing, Charlotte laughed, too.

"If it's a tea party, schedule a tea party with Dunkelferger"

"Is it Dunkelferger?

"That lord candidate over there would be most used to Rosemaine, wouldn't he? I'm a book lender, and I can keep up with Rosemaine's topic, and she'll be at a tea party no matter how many times she falls. If you fail a little, it won't be a problem."

Wilfried changed his complexion slightly to the word of the chief cleric and shook his head.

"Your uncle has misunderstood Master Hannelore. Master Hannelore is not used to Rosemaine falling. In the meantime I was also devastated by the loss of consciousness..."

"A Dunkelferger woman should use it somewhat well in any situation. Even if we intend to use it, we will mostly use the situation well over there, so we will be each other."

That's what the clergyman said with his shoulders flaunted. Hannelore doesn't look like a schemer, but the Dunkelferger woman is a schemer, so she says even that might be a pseudo.

After making some caveats, the clergyman returned to Aerenfest.

Justkus is back with us, so the civilian apprentices seem very busy preparing for the sudden increase in research presentations. But Haltmoot is alive with his orange eyes shining, and Filine is desperate to learn at all. I also added Rhoderich there and it sounds like a lot of fun.

And when I met about the tea party, I was able to get a colorful reply from Dunkelferger. He said he wanted to hear a few words about the modern translation of Dunkelferger's history book that I gave him.

...... I will do my best to get a printing permit and ask for an extension of the loan of the book I am now borrowing!

With the knight's tale of Arlensbach, printed in the orphanage workshop when I asked Aurelia, as a souvenir, I put on the necklace that the clergyman gave me and headed with Charlotte to Dunkelferger's Tea Party Room.

Dunkelferger's Tea Party Room was a very simple room. It is decorated in white and blue, without delicate and beautiful decorations. The table is also a crisp rectangle. There was a statue of a horseman crossed by a knight the size of a real child in the corner of the room. It's a clear sculpture like a blue crystal, so beautiful, it's going to move now.

...... um, simple, linear, modern, stylish atmosphere different from that of Classenburg. Even though it has a long history, it seems a little strange that it's called modern.

Hannelore dyed her cheeks shyly as I looked around the room for Dunkelferger's Tea Party.

"Dunkelferger wouldn't be decorative, would he? The colour of the territory is blue, so it's a little chilly this season..."

It feels like a very good room in the summer back in the territory or when the knights are thriving, but Hannelore shrugged when she looked a little cold trying to have a tea party like this in the winter.

"Though I think there is no waste, it is neat, and the features of Dunkelferger, who weighs heavily on physical rigidity and martial arts, come out often. There is no cute atmosphere that girls might prefer, but what the knights line up with is something that feels so natural. Seen in this room, the knights look very strong. It's a very Dunkelferger room."

Hannelore blinked several times as surprised and nodded several times looking around the room.

After being advised to take a seat and confirming that Hannelore sips tea and sweets one by one, I also take a bite of the cookies brought in from Aerenfest to show them.

Then I will try the sweets recommended to Hannelore. It's like honey on a yogurt with dried grapes.

"Is this Dunkelferger's specialty?

"Yeah, it's a fruit called lowle, and a liquor called vise is made from lowle. Adults enjoy it exclusively in Vise, but I like the dry rowle. When serving in the center and the House of Lords, there are many sugar sweets from Rowle, but I thought this would be preferred in Aerenfest, where they serve cattle curls and cookies."

I smiled and nodded gladly that Hannelore had thought of her preferences and prepared her sweets.

"Yes, it's very tasty, and I, I want dried roulette. I think it tastes good in bread."

"Sister, I'm sure it would be delicious to put in a cattle curl"

"Well, do you put lowle in the cattle curl? That sounds delicious."

When I nod to Hannelore, who smiles fluffily, "I'm sure it's delicious," Hannelore gives instructions to serve. I'm supposed to give you a little souvenir of the roulette I dried on my way home.

"When you have a cattle curl with lowle, let me taste it a little too"

"Yep. Absolutely."

... Let's ask Ella.

"This is a modern translation of Dunkelferger's book made by Master Rosemayne..."

"Was it also a serious mistake?

"No, you don't. Well, that was very well done. Your brother seems to have looked through it several times as well. Well, it seems intoxicating that Dunkelferger's history is wonderful."

Basically all I knew about was the restylauts poking at me, but I'm too surprised he was the kind of literary boy who would read a book over and over again. Even if that started with the feeling of loving self-rule, the attitude of enjoying reading is great.

... I'm a little more fond of you!

"So, I also had an offer from Aub that I would like to make a copy here. That, in more detail, in territorial rivalries and Lords' Conferences, is that okay?

Go ahead, go ahead, Charlotte grinned and opened her mouth before I could give pleasure.

"This one will also be discussed with Aub. For more information, let's talk about Aub against each other in the Territory."

"Thank you, I know."

... Oh, he shouldn't have made a cheap contract. I haven't said anything yet, Safe?

The love story in the House of Lords was very nice, and I heard a lot about Hannelore's thoughts about wanting to be offered demon stones by the Hall in this way and which stories he liked. Unsurprisingly, the love story between the adoptive father and the adoptive mother seems to be my favorite. It moisturizes the red eyes inadvertently and tells us what was lovely.

"It's superior to self-rule, and I want to support you in your efforts to get older women to turn around, and I want to be told about love as fervently as that"

... Wow, my adoptive father is making Master Hannelore snooze. I'm surprised.

Charlotte, who I know is talking about her own parents, is hearing Hannelore's thoughts with what a subtle smile.

"I like to talk about this Knight Apprentice. It's hard to have a lord who won't give up if he loses and does all he can to make love come true."

Now Hannelore smiled subtly. Maybe we're talking about Dunkelferger.

... but it's a story that keeps losing to the end.

I was able to lend books to others, so I'm glad to be able to talk to your friends about books, Hannelore said.

"Okay, take a look at this, too. This is a knight's story told by a woman who came from Arlensbach to be married. I, in fact, haven't finished copying the book I borrowed the other day... Hannelore gave it back to me, so I wanted you to extend the loan, and I brought you this."

Filine offered a book to Hannelore's civilian apprentice. Hannelore nods gently toward the civilian apprenticeship.

"I didn't need that kind of care, but thank you for reading it."

... he said I could extend it and borrow it. Yay!

As he held his inner fist and gasped, Richarda softly held onto his shoulder. I immediately drop my gaze on the necklace. Nearly half the colors had changed. It's time for the clergyman to leave.

... I think it's going to be okay now.

I didn't want to go home because it was fun, and I realized that Charlotte was changing the color of the necklace more. Put your hands on your cheeks and shake your blue eyes worryingly.

"Sister, isn't your face not very good in color?

"Dear Hannelore, I am very rude, but I am going to be rude around here today. Well, you can't fall down here and cause trouble."

Hannelore clouded her expression worryingly when I said so by holding onto her necklace without hiding the shame.

"Don't push it. Don't worry about this one, take care of yourself."

"I really enjoyed today. Let me know what you think of the book again.... Charlotte, nice to see you later."

"Yeah, sister. I'll take care of it."

I greeted my departure, and when I took my seat, I left it to Charlotte to return to the dormitory. Without falling on the way down, he reaches his room and exhales in a ho and a relief. It wasn't just me, it was the same with the proximity that was accompanying me.

"... you were able to finish without falling even when Master Rosemayne talked about the book"

"Yeah, I didn't have to fall down at a tea party with your closest friend. Tea party with Drevanhell is fine, Princess."

Rezelator and Richarda said that and we were happy together.

... I'm happy with how everyone feels, but Drevanhell is weighing in another way, isn't he?

Then, two days later. A hair decoration arrived from Aerenfest.
