Ascendance of a Bookworm

If I were to return to the temple, the clergyman instructed me to carry a wreather bus to stop the fish from entering. I prepare the Lesser Bus with great joy. "I can't do that," the chief cleric said as Rosina, Hugo and Ella made it family car sized so that they could sit in the back seat in the same mood as they always do back to the temple.

"Rosemaine, that's too small to put magic equipment on it. Turn up the horseman more. It's about time we put Gutenberg on it."

As I lean my neck against the word of the Chief Cleric, I increase the Lesser Bus to the bus size.

"Is the magic equipment that stops time that big?

"That's it."

It was a big box that a few of the guys working downstairs carried at Norberto's behest were likely to stretch out their legs and get in at their leisure. A large box is loaded onto the Lesser Bus before me, which startles me.

"You have a fish full of this, don't you?

"I've already used it, so it shouldn't be full"

Eudit in the passenger seat, and I will run the Lesser Bus to the temple. In addition to the escort knights, the civilians are with us. First time to the temple, Rhoderich rides the horseman with a tense face.

"Welcome back"

"I've been waiting for you, Master Rosemaine"

In the temple, as usual, my side service and that of the chief cleric were waiting for me to return.

"Fran, Thurm, Gill, Fritz. If the four of you are not enough, ask someone else to help you bring this into the kitchen. Hugo and Ella have something to ask about new ingredients. Please come to my room."

Speak to the side servants and ask them to immediately bring the big magic equipment to the kitchen. Several gray clerics called by Fran come out and carry their magic equipment.

While the sidemen are carrying out their luggage, the sidemen clean up the horseman and wait for a while. Roderich tilted his neck with a strange face as he looked around at the temple, Frans and the proximities used to the temple.

"Will Master Rosemayne be called to his room to cook?

"I've been praised by the servants, but there are many things I don't know unless I ask them directly."

We often had to talk in person about discussions about Italian restaurants and whether or not to move as court cooks. As a result, Fran, who at first had an unpleasant face for putting a downstairs cook in my own room, has also recently given up completely, "I can't help it when it comes to what I don't know unless I'm a cook myself".

"Rhoderich is also key to giving up. Get used to my ways as soon as possible. Because Roderich will be the deepest side of my relationship than I have ever been named."

"Yes."

I'll do my best, and look at Rhoderich nodding, and Filine laughs small.

"Roderich, it's hard to be surprised to this extent because Rosemayne also tries to listen to people's merchants by attending discussions involving the printing and paper industry."

When the Frans are finished carrying out their luggage, I will unpack the Lesser Bus and enter the Temple. Monica led me on a walk to the temple chief's office.

Nicolas has already prepared the tea for me in the Temple Chief's office. The bright smile and the smell of sweets, "Welcome back, Master Rosemaine," made me feel like I was back in my own home.

"Filine, give Rhoderich a description of your work in the temple. Darmuel, discuss it with the escort knight and decide on the order of coming to the temple. It's good for both of us to come to the temple. I don't need five people in this room."

"Yes, sir."

Drinking the tea Nicolas brewed for me and eating the last paru cake of the year, giving instructions to the proximity, he came in looking around the proximity with the tense faces of Hugo and Ella, who apparently had finished putting their luggage away.

"Hugo, Ella. Let us talk about new ingredients."

A little far-sighted for my question, Hugo.

"I struggled. It was pretty tough. If I didn't know how to dismantle it, I thought the ingredients in Arlensbach would be very dangerous."

They had a lot of strange creatures in their magic fixtures, such as fish that had to be immediately removed from the magic fixture to stop time, put it in a water-tight pan, cover it, weigh it on top and put it on fire, poke it with a stick of wood and let the stone spit out completely while using the lid of a small fish or pan that would fly through the sky and attack it as a shield, and strange objects that the court cook didn't even know how to handle.

Looks like the kitchen that handles it down was in a battlefield condition. It's a world where mushrooms dance and vegetables are said to be ferocious, but the fish couldn't be normal.

... I thought the taste was normal, but wasn't it just a fish after all?

"I didn't know if Master Rosemaine would need it, so I put all the ingredients I had left for once in my magic equipment and brought them to the temple. But some ingredients have been told by court cooks that it is better to throw them away because they cannot be dismantled by civilian cooks alone. They say you should leave them on the dirt because no matter how violent the demons are, if there is no water, they will die in time."

I shook my head in Ella's words.

"There's no such thing as throwing it away. Ask the Chief Cleric how to dismantle it, and I will dismantle it."

"... I know how difficult it is to dismantle with Rosemayne's fine arms."

It's so hard to say. That's what Hoogo said, and Ella nodded to agree, but if it's grated three sheets of fish, I want it to be left to me. I'm sure a knife that cuts the stapes with deformed magic would cut the fish for me, too.

"Either way, I'll ask the clergyman how to process it, so don't throw away the ingredients until you've come to a conclusion"

"Yes, sir."

After receiving a combat report in the kitchen from the two cooks, give Nicola a piece of paper that she wrote about how to cook with the remaining ingredients.

"It doesn't have to be soon today, so Nicola should start by understanding this recipe. The fish I used in Zambelzuppe, Nicola wouldn't know, would she? If you understand the recipe, try making it this way"

"I'll try"

When the cooks left the room, I wrote to the clergyman asking him to tell me how to dismantle the fish. If you are familiar with demons and know how to defeat a minor warcraft that only inhabits Arlensbach, then you must also know how to dismantle them.

"Zahm, please deliver this letter to the Chief Cleric. Fran, please report me while I'm away."

"Yes, sir."

Then, I will listen to the reports of the sidekicks. Especially when I said this. They didn't make a big difference. The orphanage kids seem to be doing well, and Konrat said he learned letters and simple calculations this winter. Listen with a nod to Burma's report. After a good glance, I could see that Filine was listening.

"It seems to have been a good inspiration to have played with the kids in Lower Town who Lutz accompanied to the woods in the fall. When it was spring, I promised to play in the woods again, so by then I had been strained to remember all the cartas."

There seems to be a little bit more interaction between the orphanage children and the children of the lower town, above all.

By the time I finished listening to the whole story, the Thurm was back. I have to talk to the sidekicks and set the date for Gutenberg's meeting, so I'll also call Thurm and ask him what he plans to do.

"Winter mitzvahs and spring baptisms will be close, won't they? When will it be convenient?

"The prayer ceremony is refrained from after the baptism ceremony. If you're moving Gutenberg in the long run, you'd better meet up as soon as possible."

"Because even the workshop needs to be prepared in advance," Gil nodded in Fran's words. As soon as possible, Zahm raised his hand lightly when his opinion was coming together in.

"Dear Rosemayne, the clergyman will also be present at the meeting with Gutenberg. He said he wanted to ask the people in Lower Town."

"Gil."

"I'll be right there"

The presence of the Chief Cleric is a matter of utmost importance. Give Gill a letter with a meeting day and have him take it to the Plantan Chamber of Commerce immediately.

... Nevertheless, what would the Chief Cleric want to ask people in the lower town?

The Plantan Chamber of Commerce said, "Okay. Is it a good meeting day to bring in the mattress, or, like, another day?" I received a reply. Spring doesn't get much sunshine because of the divinity in it. Gutenberg must also be ready to leave, so I don't think it would be better if we put it together, if possible.

"Fran, isn't it too steep? Are you ready to accept this one?

"No matter how steep it is, it is a side job to be ready for acceptance. Never mind. Besides, since craftsmen enter and leave the room, I know it would be best to have Rosemayne finish the work while she is in the conference room."

I was also told by Darmuel and Brother Cornelius that it was not good to think from an escort's point of view that I was in the room when the craftsmen of the Lower Town came in and out, and I decided to have the mattress put in on the day of the meeting.

And it was the day of our meeting with Gutenberg. Since the chief cleric will also be present today, a meeting will be held using the conference room in the aristocratic area. In addition to serving the side of the temple, there are quite a few people in the room, as there are two nearby civilian and escort knights for me and the clergyman.

The Plantain Chambers of Commerce in Benno, Marc, Damian and Lutz are educated to get in and out of the castle too, so it's no problem, but the rest of Gutenberg and the others were well aware that they were nervous about the bees. Even the orphan dean's office is nervous, but he doesn't want to go in or out of the aristocratic area, the stretched face of Joseph in the ink workshop seems to claim.

"Dear Rosemaine, let me introduce you to this before we begin our meeting. It is a chair with a mattress on the seat. How about with the mattress on the bunk?

By Benno's introduction, Zach and Ingo brought one chair into the conference room. This luxurious chair is for one woman with beautiful and elegant elbows and legs with fine decorations. Dyed cloth is used on the seating surface.

"It is a chair made during the mattress prototyping phase. This wooden part is an ingo woodworking workshop, the mattress is Zach's blacksmith workshop, and the cloth is made of a Rosemaine-like Renaissance dyed by Aefa, and the dye needed to dye it is made of something prepared by Heidi."

I will sit in that chair as soon as I can. The cloth is just stretched over the coil laid down, so it's pretty stiff compared to the Reino era sofa, but if you put a cushion on it, it's perfectly fine. It's not a wooden board, so my butt doesn't hurt. Laying the futon I've been using on this mattress looks pretty comfortable sleeping. Above all, I am glad that Gutenberg worked together to make it.

"I like it. We will buy it with the mattress on the sleeping table"

"I'm afraid so."

When Benno and his guild cards were combined to settle, the clergyman stared at me as he watched what was going to happen.

"What's a mattress? I don't think I'm getting a report, though?

Making a mattress seems hard and very expensive. Above all, I wanted Gutenberg to give priority to the printing industry. I wasn't willing to expand the mattress very much, but the clergyman found me.

"This is, uh, a very personal purchase, and it's still a prototype, so I was going to make a sneak introduction if I finished the improvements..."

"What am I, a mattress? I hear that, Rosemaine. I don't care about your personal circumstances."

The Chief Cleric will not be deluded. I briefly explain the mattress, exhaling softly.

"The mattress I ordered is what I put in my bedroom to make it more comfortable. As Zach noticed, it can also be used for chairs in this way. Although not necessary for my Lesser Bus, I think if I could use this, the carriage would be more comfortable to ride"

To add the words, Benno and Zach looked up bah. They both look like they found a good sales outlet. Must sell high to the guild leader.

"Rosemaine, take your place. Try sitting comfortably and like it, I'll order it"

"Then teach me how to dismantle the fish"

In response to the letter telling me how to dismantle the fish, Zahm said the clergyman would be present at this meeting, but there was no reply regarding the dismantling of the fish at the heart. Neither have I forgotten about the fish, nor will I be deluded. I won't move until I get permission, and as I looked up, the Chief Cleric exhaled gently.

"... okay"

When I laugh nicely and retreat from the chair, I give the chair to the chief cleric. After the sitting clergyman pressed the seat with his hand several times and checked the mattress while placing or removing the cushion, he rose.

"Order a bench from Gutenberg after the meeting. Geed, get ready so you can order."

"I got it."

Side service of the called clergyman leaves the conference room. Apparently, the mattress quite liked it. Looks like I'm going to order it in a long chair, not a single chair.

... maybe you're willing to put it in the workshop and use it instead of the bed?

With that in mind, I turned to Gutenberg.

"I would now like a winter report for Gutenberg"

Benno will report sales in the castle, comparing Grechel, Haldenzel and Rosemaine workshops, etc. Though it keeps prices down with plant paper, books are expensive stuff. Overall sales seem to have fallen at Aerenfest, where the number of purchases is determined.

"We are looking forward to expanding our sales channels as we hear that we will be revealing print in the House of Lords next year. Then we got a little bit of the stationery that Rosemaine taught us."

In addition to the old files that are spelled through the strings, it was in the hundreds of people of the Reino era that it occurred to me to be said to be stationery, such as the boxes that are to be put in it. Apparently Benno is working hard to reproduce that for me.

I get some prototypes and ask them how comfortable they actually are to use. Looks like the Plantan Chamber of Commerce has already used it.

"Please put the crest of the Rosemaine workshop and deliver it to the Temple Chief's Office about 20 each. With all this stationery, you need machines for drilling and machines for cutting paper the same size for ease of spelling."

I want to order a drilling punch and a cutting machine. Hopefully, Johann shook his body freaking out when he was thinking about wanting a hot kiss too. Johann's reaction is correct. This is Johan's job.

Johann reports about the popularity of the pump and the Grechelle craftsmen he kept during the winter months.

"From the north to the center of Lower Town, most wells were pumped. As Lady Rosemaine said, priority is given to welcoming merchants from other realms. It's going to be popular on artisanal streets, but it's also going to eventually be installed in southern settlements."

Danilo, Johan's apprentice, seems to be growing well and making fine parts seems a little easier. Thanks to Zach's extended coiling of mattresses in his workshop, he's in a state where he can take orders for mattresses for the Cleric Chief even in Zack's absence.

Joseph reported ink using Grechelle's material. Heidi seems to be leaving a message because a lot of nobles will be present today. They're looking forward to a long business trip where new materials are likely to be available.

"Please send the results of this study from the castle to Geebe Grechel. Then, it's Risegang heading this spring. Civilians and lord candidates will also be accompanied this time. It will be hard, thank you."

And it came to pass, when I announced where I was going, that Joseph lifted up his hand, asking him to speak.

"Can I help you, Joseph?

"It's a very unpleasant favor, but I'd like you to be able to spend your stay in the lower town like Grechelle did last year, not in a noble hall"

I nod at Joseph's anguish that research cannot proceed without taking Heidi, but his hard work is too great in the detachment that is co-located in the aristocratic hall.

"If it's easier for you to do it, negotiate with Geebe Risegang so you can get your place ready for your stay in Lower Town"

"Thank you"

Not only did Joseph, but Zach and Johann also looked horrible.

The day off to Risegang, like last year, will come after the prayer ceremony in the direct jurisdiction. I asked him to be ready to leave as soon as I finished the prayer ceremony, but he seemed just used to long trips already, and no one nodded without changing his expression.

The winter report and the meeting to Risegang are over, and I turn my gaze to the Chief Cleric. I'm present because I want to ask you something, and it should have been.

"Chief Cleric, you said you wanted to ask the people in the lower town, didn't you?

The chief cleric looks up to my words, "Ah," and instead the Gutenbergs are filled with unspeakable tensions.

"Is there a shop in the lower town of Aerenfest that deals with demon stones?

Benno and Marc tilted their necks, and the artisans who seemed to have something in mind didn't seem to know how to answer it without being rude, and began to look at each other with a look that pushed their voices together.

"I know very well that you are disrespectful to your servants, but forgive me for speaking"

It was Lutz standing behind Benno who raised his hand and asked for permission to speak when the clergyman began to be frustrated that no answer was ever returned. Growing up in the same environment as the craftsmen, Lutz is fit to be slapped into conversing with nobles at the Plantan Chamber of Commerce.

Grant Rutz permission to speak after the clergyman raises one brow lightly.

"There is a stone shop in Lower Town that will buy away the Demon Stone of the Warcraft that failed to demolish in the woods"

According to Lutz, there is a store that buys away demon stones around where the market near the West Gate stands. I never knew because I had never hunted, but if I failed to dismantle the Warcraft, even the civilians could take the Demon Stone, and they would buy it for a little money from one medium copper coin to one large copper coin or so.

"What kind of warcraft demon stone is that?

"There are many Schmills. Eyfint, Zanze buys it relatively high."

... Schmir is a little Schwartz or Weiss, right? I'm hunting.

It was the first shock fact I knew, but I know my life back then, so I can understand it's something I can't help. Though I don't want to look directly at it.

"Hmm. You're a scum demon stone. Do you know where the bought demon stones are sold?

"I know you won't know that unless you're from a stone shop or a commercial guild."

"Right."

The clergyman began to think of something, so I left the clergyman alone and turned to Benno.

"Benno, what does the merchant look like in Classenburg? You wouldn't have been asked because there were other Geebes at the last castle, would you?

As far as I was concerned, I was smiled at by Benno. "There's a clergyman or an aristocrat's side. Don't even ask me here, Azuma," I feel angry. But I don't think the chief clergyman will be able to reduce the number of nobles any further.

"As a Dalua, I'm excellent. I understand you have other reports in writing."

"I took an interesting look at what was going on in Classenburg and the other realms. But I couldn't read the source, Carlin's person, or how much information was flowing over there. I'd like to hear from Benno, who's in charge."

And when I looked upon Benno, Benno lay down his eyes as if he had lost his roots.

"You didn't seem to have been informed in person that they were leaving you at Aerenfest. He usually looks temperamental, but he looks anxious from time to time. I was wary of getting in touch with anyone who would give me information, but I haven't been in contact since the end of the fall."

"What is Benno going to do with Carlin?

To my question Benno stroked his jaw slowly.

"Nothing in particular so far. I know that ordinary Dalua would have no problem treating her the same way she would hang up her contract."

... What, you won't be my wife?

Corinna said the relationship would also be changing at the end of winter, so I was expecting a little, but apparently the relationship didn't change in particular. Too bad I was looking forward to Benno's star knot ritual.

"Really? From Otto and Corinna's story, I was wondering if we could bless Benno with the next star knot ritual..."

"That can't happen."

Benno's reddish brown eyes said, "Don't be ridiculous!" and angry. After a moment of freaking out, I was glad I was surrounded by escort knights, I sincerely thought. I want that anger directed at Otto, Corinna, and the guild chief who tried to make Carlin Benno's wife. I wasn't the first to say it.

"We believe that an alarming sense of righteousness about Carlin will be when Carlin's father arrives, from the end of spring to summer. The merchant thing will be resolved among the merchants. Don't bother with Aub Aerenfest."

End within your reach. Seeing Benno so determined, I nodded slowly.

"I trust Benno's judgment and readiness. … Still, let me know if you need my help"

"I'm afraid so."

Even as Benno thanked him, he laughed challengingly. I felt like they said, "Leave it to me without saying anything great, stupid".
