Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Welcome, Master Rosemaine"

At the castle Eudit stepped out of the Lesser Bus and Angelica boarded instead. The aristocrats around him send out the horseman for departure and in turn run up to the sky.

"Angelica, did you get some rest?

"Yes, I was resting except for having my master put on an archery"

... Doesn't look like he's resting much.

I gave Angelica a few days off because I would have her on escort duty at both the prayer ceremony and the Risegang in the direct jurisdiction, but it didn't seem to make much sense.

"When I cut the fish and talked to Master Rosemaine about being praised, my master was supposed to do the archery. Next time, show me a sharper sword. He also wanted to join the crusade."

"I will invite you if you have the next chance at the temple, please tell me"

"Yes, I did. Master will be delighted."

Angelica plays with pleasure and tells me how awesome your uncle is, who is strong in the Knights, how to fight Brother Eckhardt and the Cleric Chief. As I listened as I hammered, Brother Cornelius' riding beast approached me a little.

"Dear Rosemayne, I'm in Risegang. We'll be in the summer hall soon."

In the words of Brother Cornelius I looked down at the landscape under my eyes. With all the blackish soil with snow all over it, it looks less green and lonely. When Brother Lamprecht's wedding, it should have been a long idle countryside surrounded by black woods with blue leaves.

"When the seasons are different, the atmosphere is different. I didn't realize you were in Risegang."

"It's good to discover enemies even when they're hiding."

Sure, there were a lot of attempted raids in Risegang, but this time it wouldn't be just as good. They come from the Knights in addition to the escort knights, and this time of prayer ceremony shapes a year's harvest, so they're busy everywhere.

I saw the leading men lowering altitude. Apparently, they've arrived.

Although I have come to Risegang several times, what is clearly in my memory is about the detachment used by the temple officials.

I also interrupted the summer hall a little during Brother Lamprecht's wedding, but as soon as I had just lunch, I was leaving, and after the wedding I didn't remember much because I was tired and pulled into my given private room early to sleep and drove the Lesser Bus back to Aerenfest while not feeling very well.

When I bring down the horseman, Fran, Monica and Hugo carry their baggage and food into the detachment where the priest uses them. All we have to do is give the Little Holy Grail to Risegang, so we have to stay until the activities of the Gutenbergs are separated, although the clerics have less work to do.

Unlike Haldenzel, where the robust castle is the winter hall, Risegang is far away, so nobility and Frans never come into contact. That's just a little reassuring.

"Dear Rosemaine, the handover of the Little Holy Grail is after the greeting, isn't it?

"Yeah, Fran. Please get ready."

After handing over the Little Holy Grail to Geebe Risegang, they are to be led to where Gutenberg and the others are going to spend their time, so they are going to stay on the Lesser Bus and wait.

And I held the little chalice, and aligned it with Fran and Monica in obedience.

"Welcome to Risegang"

After a lengthy exchange of greetings between Geebe Risegang and his mother, a representative of the printing industry, I advance with the Little Holy Grail.

Geebe Risegang is a civil-looking person who looks a little older than your father. A gentle smile when I first met him, but his eyes seemed to be burning with ambition. I wouldn't let you feel that now, but you'd better not be alarmed.

"By the goddess of water, Fruitraine, who makes a difference in healing, and the twelve goddesses who serve on the side, the goddess of earth, Gedurleach, has been given the power to nurture a new life. I sincerely hope that all things in the vast, haughty earth will be filled with the precious colour of the goddess of water, Fruitraine."

"Indeed, the earth goddess Gedurlich is filled with the magic of the water goddess Fruitlène. Pray for the snow melt and bless the spring visit."

When the handover of the Little Holy Grail is complete, my work as head of the temple will be finished. And I backed away once, and gave instructions to Fran and Monica to set the separation, and to Hugo to do the meal support.

Likewise, he gave instructions to Ottilier to set up the room which he would give me. But I command Brunhilde to accompany me. Seeing land other than Grechelle, because it must be of some use.

"So you forcibly added me, a minor, to your companion because I'm a relative of Risegang?

"There are many reasons. You explained that, didn't you?

O'Tillier is tough on his own, but Richarda doesn't have a good heart test for Risegang because he has also served Gabriele and Veronica, which are directly related to Risegang's apoptosis. Brunhilde is easier to add to his entourage because he is a senior aristocrat and relative than Lieselator.

"There was no explanation for Rosemayne to visit the lower town of Risegang."

"Oh, could it have been? I think I overdid it."

Jojoho, laughing and turning his back on Brunhilde, he moves forward in front of Geebe Risegang.

"Now, quickly, can you show us where the Gutenbergs are going to spend their time?

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Geebe Risegang moved his hand lightly, Risegang's civilian responsible for the printing industry came out. Whether you are listening to me in Haldenzel or Grechel, I have been told nothing in particular about taking Gutenberg by horseback, and the guidance has begun.

"The place Gutenberg spends his time in is the town of Fluth, a short distance from the summer hall"

They say the nearest civilian town to the summer hall of Risegang, on a small high hill and surrounded by forests, is Fluth. Everyone rides the beast over the wall surrounding the summer hall.

Just down the hill, Fluth was somehow a town with an atmosphere similar to Hasse's. Farming is central to the work of the civilians, and there is a lot of similarity in the fact that there is a group of non-farm workers near the winter hall.

Some noblemen looked slightly at the fact that they were going down to civilian towns, but Vilfleet and Charlotte, who were going around the countryside at prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals, looked rather amused "you look like the countryside of the direct jurisdiction".

"We have both a blacksmith workshop and a woodworking workshop here. Tell the inhabitants of Fluth."

"Yes, sir."

Greet your parents at a blacksmith or woodworking workshop and let them put their luggage away. It is a job of the same procedure as Grechelle. I looked around the town looking lightly as Brunhilde noticed something watching how it was.

"Unlike the lower town of Grechelle, this one doesn't have a noticeable stain or odor. Why not?"

"Because agriculture is a thriving land, Brunhilde"

Unlike Grechelle, who imitates Aerenfest and is neatly surrounded by walls, Risegang just has a wall surrounding the summer hall, with no downtown, and farmland spreading quickly. The focus is on agriculture, so the population density is low and the smell is not caged in the town.

"Has Leonore, the aristocrat of Risegang, ever entered the civilian town of Risegang?

"Yeah," Leonore nodded to Brunhilde's question.

"I am a knight apprentice, so I have left the Summer Hall for the Crusade of the Warcraft. Before I served Master Rosemaine, it's only been a few years."

Brunhilde is a relative of Risegang, so he has visited Risegang several times. But he didn't realize the difference between where civilians lived because he would just stay in the summer hall, and it wasn't something he would put into his sight or consciousness. I grumble that I didn't think there was such a difference.

"As Lady Rosemaine said at Grechelle, Grechelle is a lot different from the rest of the land."

Brunhilde was also able to make such comparisons because he stepped into downtown on his own feet. I think it would be a good idea to look at different lands and ways of doing it and let them live on their own. When I said so, Brunhilde had a powerful grin that he would "strive".

"By the way, where is the printing workshop?

My question was answered by Vilfleet, who is visiting this town with final confirmation.

"Next to the Winter Hall. I hear at Risegang that they do the printing business as part of their winter handiwork, just like Haldenzel."

Risegang has a large area of agricultural land and, unlike Haldenzel, snow melts fast because it is in the south. For this reason, agriculture thrives, so much so that it is also said to be Aerenfest's food bank. They say the printing industry is only a side business, not a main business.

"Agriculture is the top priority for Risegang, Geebe said. There's no way Lizegang, Aerenfest's food bank, can neglect agriculture, so of course."

Risegang's harvest leads directly to food in the winter social world. They take great care every year not to be told this year.

"Brother Wilfried, you did your best"

"Yeah?"

"You've been looking into Risegang a lot, and I'm impressed."

"Before I went to Risegang, I did a lot of research with Ignaz."

I laugh a little better at my words, Wilfried. I heard your mother make a pleasant voice, "Oh, well," and Brother Cornelius shrugged amusedly, "Is my next target Rosemaine?"

"Spend your time here in Gutenberg during your stay in Fluth"

It was the winter hall that Gutenberg was going to spend as he moved around the town of Fruth unloading more and more baggage into the workshop here and there, and eventually reached. The peasants are going back to their land, so they want us to spend some time there instead, the civilian said.

"You were right to bring a lot of cleaning tools."

The grey clerics, who had a hard time in Grechelle, have been well prepared to keep themselves clean.

"Lutz, do you want to start fast?

"Of course it is. Gil."

When the two people most used to long trips got off the Lesser Bus, they immediately split up and started moving. The Gutenbergs follow the two instructions to unload their luggage. I called out to Lutz, laughing small at his reliable appearance.

"We leave our meals to Hugo during our stay, so don't eat away"

"I'm afraid so."

We are all cleaning, listening behind our back to the voice of Lutz, and I returned to the summer hall with only Benno and Damien of the Plantan Chamber of Commerce, who were needed to sign the contract.

Returning to the summer hall, Geebe Risegang and his mother will focus their final confirmation on the printing industry over a cup of tea, with the Plantan Chamber of Commerce entering into contracts on the Printing Association and the Plant Paper Association.

Risegang has mountains and forests as well as Ilkner, so they're supposed to involve those who were involved in forestry in the paper industry that they plan to do there. It means that even orphanage children can help, so it's going to be a job for women, children and the elderly.

"Geebe Risegang, I know it's very rude, but if you're going to make the printing industry part of your winter handiwork, isn't it not commensurate with the amount you invested?

Benno looked a little nervous about whether it was okay to proceed with the contract as it was. Compared to initial investments, it would be less profitable to run for a short time and not make it a winter business to work on in gross resident exit unlike Haldenzel.

"That's not what merchants think. Amounts are not the only subjects to consider whether or not they are commensurate with the amount invested. You don't have to worry. You can't cancel your contract later."

"I'm afraid," Benno said to Geebe Risegang's words, looking back at Damien. Damien gives the contract and finishes the contract quickly.

"Now the contract that the Plantan Chamber of Commerce should have for printing associations and botanical paper associations is over"

"Right. Then join the other Gutenbergs."

Benno and Damien rose to the words of Geebe Risegang and left the summer hall with a begging greeting at their leisure. It seems spiritually intense to be in this place where all the senior nobles gather, so I just nod lightly and shut up and drop them off. You should take your time away.

When it was all aristocracy on the spot, Geebe Risegang made him change his tea once and turned his gaze to Vilfleet and Charlotte. Remaining a gentle smile, but also seemingly with all sorts of exploring eyes, I stand up to shelter the two of them.

"Such opportunities are rare. I know that I would like to hear Lady Rosemaine's words, not those of a human being. May I?

...... not brother vilfried or charlotte, me!?

I stretched my spine as a victory over words that were unexpected. I just can't say "I don't mind" on this occasion. As well as my proximity, tension runs to the proximity of Wilfried and Charlotte.

"Uncle."

Leonore speaks up, but Geebe Risegang does not allow intervention by shaking his head a little. When I turned my gaze to Mother and Father, I nodded quietly. Do it tight, I guess they say.

... stand Brother Wilfried and insist that I am not going to be the next lord.

I confronted Geebe Risegang, remembering what the Chief Cleric had told me.

"We will ask you"

"I'm afraid so....... I know there is no AVILLIBE to reach out to while Gedurlich is in the position to get it. What do you think of Master Rosemaine?

... I don't care what they say. Wait a minute. Because it's hard to decipher.

"Surely there won't be any Averibe who won't reach out to Gedurleich"

I desperately think, buying time, returning the words of Geebe almost intact.

... er, sometimes Gedurlich shows his hometown or the land where he lives, so maybe this is about Aerenfest, right?

As a result of a slight troubling, I called Geebe's words, "Why not go for the next lord while he is adopted, a lord candidate, and the next lord has the merit, ability, magic and back shield he deserves? I interpreted it as meaning." Probably not wrong.

"I know you're right about Geebe Risegang, but I'm not Aveliebe, so I don't need Gedurleich"

There's no way anyone would want lord status, and when I returned it, Geebe Risegang exhaled slowly.

"Both my niece, Leonore, and my relatives, Brunhilde, and Haltmut, my half-brother's sons, all answered the same, but I'm not convinced by that. Why don't you want it? If you want, everything will fit in circles."

That's what Geebe said, but there's nothing for me, an ex-civilian, to be Aub and fit in circles.

"Master Wilfried was removed from his next lord by entering the White Tower and returned to the same position as his other siblings. That is what I see as my next lord due to my engagement with Master Rosemayne. Isn't it Master Wilfried who is to be seen as the next lord, even though it should be Master Rosemaine who deserves a lord? That doesn't make my teeth itch for bloodthirsty Risegang."

If I were to make my fiancée a vilfried with my next lord, he would have had no problems at all, but he can't understand why the opposite is the case.

I turned my gaze toward Wilfried as I leaned my neck. I'm trying not to lean down, but everything is out in my tightly gripped fist.

"Brother Wilfried deserves a lord better, because I believe so, there is nothing the other way around"

It wasn't just Geebe, but Wilfried looked at me as surprised. Near the surrounding sides and the knights turn their gaze to me as they round their eyes. Your father looked very intrigued.

"Once dropped downstairs, Brother Wilfried knows he'll work hard to crawl up. He participates in the temple divinity, which a large number of nobles repel, in order to reduce my burden as temple chief. And by seeing the people living in Aerenfest, I know what it feels like to be a lord trying to protect the people and live with them."

Geebe Haldenzel also acknowledged that point, adding that Geebe Risegang stroked his jaw slowly.

"That would be the same for Master Rosemaine. You have a proven track record of being a temple nurturer, doing all you can for Aerenfest as a temple chief, breaking even your heart to orphans and protecting your people."

... When they say that, I'm really like a Virgin.

I don't think it's very much about me, and I listen blurry. Is this how the legend of the Virgin of Haltmoot is spread as well? It's something I don't want to think about.

"Geebe Risegang, there is something very different between me and Brother Wilfried. That's so different that I can assure you it's the difference between whether a lord deserves it or not."

"What the hell is that about?

Geebe Risegang stepped out looking lightly. I can see everyone around me paying attention. I held my own breasts and smiled.

"I live for the book. Build some inexpensive paper, build a printing workshop, all to add more books for you to read. So far, if you look only at the results, it's for the territory, but it's all done for you, not what you started for the territory. Unlike my brother Wilfried, who wanted to live with the people, I want more books, I want to read books, I want to live with books."

"... is that right"

There was probably as much information in there that I liked the book, but I didn't think that was it, and every time I said, I was surprised at the look on Geebe Risegang's face.

Wilfried smiled at Geebe for breaking his expression a little nervousness.

"How can it be in Aerenfest's interest while letting Rosemayne do whatever she wants to give top priority to her wishes in this way? That is the test imposed on the next lord. I still have many shortfalls, but I intend to try. We would love to ask Geebe Risegang, who is a powerful back shield for Rosemayne, to help us realize Rosemayne's thoughts and, sometimes, to help Aerenfest give up. Risegang is a Rosemaine blood family, so it's very comforting."

... Brother Wilfried, the words, the desire to make me the next lord, what, so easy to stop as runoff, right? With what you're saying!

I don't know how far it's natural, but it seems Wilfried's words were a critical hit on Geebe Risegang, who didn't know anything about my runaway habits.

"I know exactly what you two are saying. But for how many minutes, Risegang is a little far from Aerenfest. It will help you to the best of your ability, but let me help you."

Geebe Risegang, who said he would be my back shield, has backed down to "as much cooperation as he can".

"To do this, you have to move your uncle's tough posture..."

Geebe Risegang turned his gaze in a direction that presumably had his great-grandfather's room.
