Ascendance of a Bookworm

As soon as the Plantain Chamber of Commerce books are sold, it will be a feast that will soon survive spring. Since there is a baptismal ceremony in Merhior, Lieselator and Brunhilde were asked to go to the temple to pick up costumes and accessories.

"Fran and Monica were ready for everything, Master Rosemayne"

The lizerator checks all the ritual clothes and necessary accessories of the Temple Chief and laughs nicely. When they arrived at the temple, they had divided their baggage into small portions so that Frans and the clergyman's side servants could carry them by horseback and carry them out to the front door.

"This is a gift from the children of the orphanage to Lady Rosemaine. They say it's Paru juice."

"It's winter sweetness. Take me to Ella."

"Yes, sir."

Brunhilde takes a small pot containing Paru fruit juice to the kitchen.

"Fran told me that Lady Rosemaine was not ill or exercising to gain strength if she was well, because she was worried, that she was doing light exercise in the knight's training ground"

That's what Darmuel said. I asked how Monica and everyone else were, not just Fran. Apparently, everyone in the temple remains the same and reassured.

That's where Otilier came back. I have an invitation in my hand.

"Dear Rosemaine, Charlotte and Wilfried have invited you to a tea party. It's a sudden invitation, but I'd like to introduce you to Merhior."

Melchior has already set up the room so that he can spend time from the baptismal ceremony, and he sometimes goes in and out of his room with his sidekicks to carry additional things. I didn't know because the floors were different.

Apparently Wilfried and Charlotte thought of introducing Melchior to me first rather than talking for the first time at the baptism ceremony. Charlotte's invitation says, "It was a pleasure for me to speak with your sister before the christening ceremony, too".

...... I have to work hard to be a good sister here too.

My first tea party with Charlotte wasn't a very good memory for me, as Vilfleet broke in and turned into an interrogation. But I found out how cute Charlotte is at that tea party. I've never talked to Merhior before, so I'd like to talk to her before the baptism.

After I had given my consent, I waited for the day, smudging my hands on the copies with the civil servants.

"Good day, sister"

"Glad you invited me, Charlotte."

After an exchange of greetings with the organizer Charlotte, he shifts his gaze to Merhior, who is waiting to be introduced next to Wilfried. In the blue-purple hair of his father, his eyes are the blue of his mother. She also looks like a gentleman with a loose face, as she is a mother's concession. And most importantly. He's a little tall, but I'm winning.

... a little, but I'm bigger. Even if I look older, I look like my sister. Hi-ha-hoo! Oh, because I'm not stretching my back.

My tension comes gushing up when I clear the height issues that I was most worried about when I met with Melchior and found out she looked like a sister.

"It's our brother Merhior. Nice to meet you.... Melchior, her sister, Rosemaine, who is also the head of the temple who blesses her at the Baptist ceremony"

"Sister Rosemaine, I can't really pray for blessings because I haven't finished the baptism ceremony yet, but let me greet you"

Melchior, introduced to Wilfried, advances forward with a slightly nervous face, kneels on the spot and drips his neck.

"Allow me to pray for blessings to the tough sorted and rare encounter of AVILLIBE, God of Life"

"I forgive you."

"Dear Rosemayne, bless your sister with the blessing of AVILLIBE, God of Life....... My name is Merhior and I am the son of Aub Aerenfest. Best regards,"

Melchior looks up with a satisfied look that says he did what he was taught to do, alternating between Wilfried and Charlotte to ask what he did. They both had a gentle grin and saw Merhior.

"I think you've done well, Merhior."

"Yeah, I was nervous about my first greeting, too. You did your best."

She looks cute naïve like her youngest child who seems happy to be praised by her brother and sister. I know very well that I grew up stretching under my adoptive mother. Just watching, I've loosened my expression, too.

"My sister moved north away and I missed the children's room so much that I wanted to move north away too soon without anyone to play with me. So glad to have a tea party with you."

"I'm glad I haven't been with Merhior in a while."

That's what Charlotte said and stroked Merhior's head. The hair of Sarasa and Merhior shakes.

"Yeah? Melhior and Rosemaine have similar hair colors, so don't really look like sisters and brothers"

That's what Wilfried said compared to my hair as he touched Merhior's hair a little bit. Indeed, blue-purple hair conceded by my adoptive father is much more similar to my hair compared to the pale blonde hair of Vilfleet and Charlotte.

... Is Kamil growing up like this too? Is it time for you to be 5? You must be growing up adored by your father, your mother and Thuri, so you must be getting bigger like this.

When was the last time you saw Kamil from the temple? Exploring my memory, I saw the color of Camille's hair, which was similar to mine, and the blue-purple hair of Merhior, conceded by my adoptive father, somewhat dabbled.

... You wanted Kamil to call you sister.

"Let's make it tea. Your sister still brings you sweets that Merhior has never eaten."

Charlotte urged, and when he got to his seat, the tea party began. Show each one a bite of the treat he brings over and have a cup of tea. The first treat I brought in today was Paru's Babaloa. The Ottomar Chamber of Commerce gave me a gelatin that had just been made in the winter as a gift to me when delivering Katorkar for a territorial rivalry.

It's the first time I've asked Ella to make a babaroa but let it out to others. I found Brunhilde quietly looking at the ratings of the three of them.

"Then through your throat, it's sweet and delicious. I like it. You can enjoy all kinds of flavors, right?

"Yeah, I think you can enjoy a lot of different flavors. This is using a winter sweetness called Paru."

I also put Babaloa in my mouth. The flavor of Paru is a nostalgic taste of Lower Town to me. I can see my face breaking into the sweetness that spreads through my mouth.

"... sweet, but the new treat on my sister Rosemaine is a strange touch"

"I prefer cookies"

It was popular with Charlotte, but seemed a little subtle to the boy. We cannot put it out in the House of Lords without improving it based on our reputation here.

... Pudding didn't have a good reputation at first, and Babaloa still can't?

"Melchior's christening ceremony will be tomorrow, won't it? Are you nervous?

The topic will still be the story of Melchior's baptismal ceremony, which is approaching tomorrow. "Because I was told to enter alone," Melchior replied small to Wilfried's question.

"I was also very nervous in the eyes of the many nobles around me when I entered at the Baptist ceremony. I saw your sister waiting for me on the stage, and I calmed down a little. Melchior will be fine as long as you walk towards your sister."

That's what Charlotte says, and he's going to relieve Melchior of his tension.

"Charlotte was a winter christening ceremony, so why not because she was with a bunch of kids to unveil. Me and Merhior are gonna walk there alone."

Although the Noble Winter Baptist Ceremony is held in conjunction with the Revelation, the Spring to Fall Baptist Ceremony invites clerics to their homes. I hear you have to walk alone in that big hall for the spring baptism. I remember that during my own baptismal ceremony, my father and mother took the lead and walked with me. Although there were many invitees at that time, it was better than the baptism ceremony at the castle, where almost all the nobles gathered.

I took a baptismal procedural exposition with the tense Merhior and watched as Vilfleet and Charlotte laughed at each other saying, "This is the better place" and "No, this is the better place".

"What kind of stuff does Merhior like?

"This is the toy my sister Rosemaine made for me. Rosemaine, my sister made it for you, didn't she? I heard it from my brother and sister. Rosemayne, my sister is amazing."

Thanks to my mother, Charlotte, and Wilfried, who taught me how to play carta and cards, which I used to read when I brought in the books I made, I was perceived as a very amazing sister to Melhior.

... I, as your sister, am showing a pleasant slip! Brother Wilfried, Charlotte, thank you!

Tension rose with emotion, and shortly after Melhior was determined to hold his fist under the table, if this did not make him a good sister to Melhior, Melhior laughed so adorably, that he came to kill me.

"My sister Rosemayne has so much fun with the book she made, I want you to read it if there's anything else. I love books."

... ooh! Praise kills me! She smiled and told me she loved it! Book lover brother, what a lovely presence this is! I want to thank God for such a cute little brother right now!

Richarda came worried as she shuddered and shuddered once more, suppressing the magic that seemed to overflow. It's a tea party between brothers and sisters today, so I don't have a necklace to sig the magic that the clergyman gave me.

"Princess, please calm down"

"It's okay, Richarda. I haven't..."

I had a friend in the House of Lords who loved books and attended a tea party a few times, and I am a little but intolerant. I can't die until I recommend more books to Melchior and make him a more book-loving and cute brother.

"What stories does Merhior like to talk about? Is it still a knight's story? We have a lot of other stories right now."

If you're not in the form of a book yet, but just talking, there's plenty. If Melchior says he wants a new book or story, he's going to do everything he can to answer it.

All right, come, when I urged Merhior to answer, Merhior leaned his neck slightly and laughed.

"I like God's story. I can also do the carta, so I asked the side servants to read it carefully. Rosemayne, you have to know a lot about God in order to be like your sister."

... you like Bible picture books?

Few people said they liked God's story purely, although biblical picture books are well read in Aerenfest for the reason that they are in the position of reference books, to beat Karta, to remember God's name and divine objects.

"Okay. If Melchior says he likes God's story, let me respond with all my might, too. Richarda, I need the temple chief's scripture from the temple now..."

"Princess."

Richarda slapped me on the shoulder lightly before I could say everything.

"I know very well that Master Merhior is adorable and I can't help it, so please really calm down. Ferdinand Boy told you that the Temple Chief's Bible is not so easy to show others, right?

A bizarre magic formation or a scripture with wording floating around it is something that should not be inadvertently shown to others.

"Would you prefer a copy?

"It may still be difficult for Master Merhior to understand. It's enough for a princess to tell a story that's not a picture book."

... Because of this, I wanted to show you the book.

What Richarda says is best, so I will tell Melchior the story of God who is not a picture book. Merhior was listening to the story as she glowed her blue eyes, much like her adoptive mother's.

After a tea party that I gutted and enjoyed interacting with my new brother, I escorted Merhior and his side back to the main building.

"Merhior is really cute. I want to be as cute as I can be."

Charlotte pointed her lips a little dissatisfied when she expressed her determination to Charlotte, who held today's tea party.

"Something tells me that Merhior stole your sister."

"What are you saying, Charlotte? Rosemaine is sweet to her siblings. And even sweeter for women. Your attitude toward Charlotte and toward me was much different."

Wilfried looked at me with an obstinate expression that I had never shown such a sweet attitude.

"In conclusion, Rosemaine should make her response to me sweeter. Would that be my fiancée?

"Oh, I, Brother Wilfried, have been telling Ferdinand too sweet a response."

"No?"

Wilfried said, "Have you ever dealt with me sweeter?" He leans his neck and looks strange.

"Before the revelation, and the incident of the White Tower, both of which I was told were too sweet to deal with Brother Wilfried, did you prefer stricter?

Wilfried opened his eyes to surprise.

"Just as the healing of Fruitraine and Lungshmer is different, so is the sweetness to brother Wilfried and his siblings who will be the next lords. I'm also your fiancée, so I need you to grow more. I know you don't need the kind of sweetness you want for your siblings."

What it takes to be the next lord is not sweetness. Wilfried was stuck in my words a long time ago.

On the day of the baptismal ceremony, he takes a bath in the morning to purify himself, fix his hair and wrap himself in the white costume of the temple chief. Silver bands are tightened on the gold sauce and decorated with green trinkets, the precious colour of spring. The hair decorations that Touri made for me were also shaken by the green of the young leaves as ordered, very springy.

With the escort knight solidifying his surroundings as usual, I took the Lesser Bus to the waiting room. Temple officials can't act with Wilfried or Charlotte because entrance times are slightly different from those of nobility. After the entrance of the nobles, I shall enter with the chief clergyman.

"Use physical enhancement, so walk tight"

That is what the clergyman, dressed in blue ritual clothes, tells me, I nod lightly, and let magic go across my whole body. If you don't take into account the difference in leg length that my three steps are one of the Cleric Chiefs, you should be able to walk normally and gracefully now.

Walk in the middle of a large hall with lots of aristocracy. I'm still nervous about the gaze I get noticed and my spine stretches, but this is what I'm starting to think. I think I'm growing up a bit too.

In the center of the stage an altar is made, and towards the stage, on the left, the lords and their wives and their escort knights and sidelines line. When we came to the stage, our adoptive father stood up and walked to the center.

"To the sober stream of the water goddess Fruitlène, the god of life, Aveliebe, was pushed away, and the earth goddess, Gedurliech, was rescued. Bless the snowmelt!

There will be an announcement by the brilliant at the Spring Suicide Feast, who will receive a souvenir from his adoptive father.

"First, we will make an announcement of this year's excellence. Many students, thirteen, achieved excellent grades."

Incredible, a voice of surprise and praise rises and applause occurs.

Seems I was the only one who took the best, but from my side I was told that Leonore, Brother Cornelius, and Haltmut, three from Vilfleet and his side, two from Charlotte and his side, and Matthias and the other from the former Veronicans, would go up to the stage as outstanding.

"Well done, Rosemaine. This is a souvenir. I want you to be helpful to those who are going to be."

I received a souvenir from my adoptive father who laughed at me for saying so. Souvenir demon stones are smaller than last year. Maybe I didn't have enough budget. And I laughed small, with the magic stone in my hand.

After the Distinguished are announced, there will be an Aerenfest performance announcement in the House of Lords. They were 10th in the Ditter against the Territory. Considering he was sixth in the mock, it may seem like an unpleasant battle. However, the successful exorcism of Hundelt Tylene, a very laborious minor warcraft, was explained, and its collaboration was praised as much better.

"Due to various things that have happened in the House of Lords this year, Bonifatius is to continue to undertake the Knight Apprentice and the education of new knights. Encourage everyone."

The achievements of civilian apprentices and the growth of side-service apprentices can also be mentioned. The start of commercial exchanges with the centre and with Crassenburg was a sure increase in Aerenfest's influence, which was very prominent in the territorial rivalry.

"This year there have also been more applications for marriages with other territories. These come to a conclusion after a good inquisition"

And with Aerenfest's book out in the House of Lords this year and feeling the response, attention to the nobles flew so that they wouldn't fail to prepare to start selling the book next year.

I can see that the atmosphere of the nobles in and around each Geebe related to printing and paper making has changed all the time. It's important to know how ready you are before the sale begins.

Finally, there will be an unveiling of the new adults who have graduated from the House of Lords and an announcement of their assignment, which will formally work rather than apprentice. Brother Cornelius and Hartmoot and the other graduates came to the stage. Brother Cornelius has announced that my escort knight, Haltmut, has become my civilian.

"Now we shall perform the christening ceremony of my son Merhior. Temple Chief, come here."

As I am to be replaced with my adoptive father, I rise careful not to step on the hem on the stepping stone, which is prepared in the center of the stage. The chief cleric stood next to me and opened his mouth.

"Welcome the new Aerenfest child."

A musician starts playing music simultaneously to the voice of the chief priest echoing in the great hall, and the door slowly opens. Merhior was a green costume that was a little bluish so as not to quarrel with the color of her hair, and she had a childish grin and waited for the door to open.

You don't look too nervous, but you referred to Charlotte's advice, "You should watch your sister," walking straight up to the stage staring at me with blue eyes.

"Merhior"

I call Melchior to offer a magic tool for the magic test so that it is wrapped in thin leather that does not pass through magic.

"Just grip it and you'll be fine."

"Yes."

Melchior took the magic stick and let it glow. The applause boils down, and I take out the medal, and make the magic apparatus press like a seal, and register the magic.

"Merhior has the protection of the five gods of darkness, water, fire, wind and earth. You will receive more blessings by worrying about what the gods deserve to do."

When you have finished registering your magic for the medal, you will be immediately placed in a box for the Cleric Chief to manage.

At the same time, his adoptive father with a magic tool ring came to the center of the stage and gave him a ring fitted with a green demonic stone to release magic into Merhior's hands.

"As my son, I will give a ring to Merhior, who has been recognized by God and everyone. Congratulations, Merhior"

"Thank you, Father"

My adoptive father, who watched Melchior laugh happily, raised his face and sent his gaze to me. I nod lightly and put my magic into my ring.

"Bless Melchior with the Blessing of the Water Goddess Fruitraine"

... Oh, was it a little too much?

The green light flies a little more than planned with a blessing for my lovely brother who likes books. But I'm sure if this were about it, it would be acceptable. When I asked him how the clergyman was doing, he said, "You fool," and he looked at me cold.

... I think I just overdid the tolerance a little bit.

When I am reopening that there is no choice but what is finished, the Blessed Merhior magically enters his ring.

"I'm afraid so."

A puffy green light flew to me with a hook. With that blessing return, applause arises from the nobles, and the baptismal ceremony of Merhior ends.

Thus, there was one more inhabitant from the north, and my life in the castle became more lively and joyful.

... Celebrate having a book-loving brother and offer God your prayers and thanks!
