Ascendance of a Bookworm

Welcome Banquet

The welcome feast begins with 6 bells.

The dish of the day is that of Aerenfest, arguably the cutting edge of the fashion where Hugo and Ella also waved their arms. It doesn't make sense to hide it, as it has already been revealed at the Lords' Conference. Some of the menus we didn't put out at the conference appear to be a demonstration against Arlensbach to make Aerenfest look a little more valuable. "We need to make Ferdinand look as high as possible," my adoptive father said.

With the entrance of the Lords clan and the admission of organizations of Arlensbach, starting with Georgine and Dietrinde, it is said that all Lords candidates who are far north should gather and move.

A guest from Arlensbach has made the face of the escort knight nervous, and Angelica practiced many times to see if she could get Steinluke in her hand right away, even in her outfit.

We rarely receive guests from other territories in the castle. Both Charlotte and Merhior will have their first experience. Don't worry, Charlotte is socializing with other lords in the House of Lords, but Merhior still has little experience in socializing. After the baptism ceremony, it hasn't been a year, so it feels the same as Vilfleet did when Georgine visited before.

"Merhior, never talk about anything extra. Just say hello."

"Yes, brother."

The last time I said extra words in my last greeting, I would tell Merhior not to let Wilfried, scattered from everyone, make the same mistake. Melchior was listening to his brother's failure story with a strange face.

"Has Master Ferdinand been prepared for a new demonic stone?

Brunhilde murmured anxiously in such a small voice that she didn't hear much else. The workshop has a lot of material, so I don't think it's such a time-consuming task as contacting Arlensbach to make a demon stone, but I don't think the chief cleric probably is.

"... I don't think you have, but you'll get through it somehow. Because you seemed confident."

He assured me that if I gave it to him with a smile and a sweet word, he would have no problem. I guess I'll make an oral complaint about goosebumps with a frigid making laugh. My abs don't collapse into the gap with the usual Buddha top surface, which is what worries me.

By the time we entered the Great Hall, the Cleric Chief had already entered and responded with a perfect laugh of creation to the nobles celebrating their marriage. The Chief Cleric looks very kind. As loud as I want to say it's a fraud, it's someone else than usual.

"Your uncle's social face is amazing."

"Yep. Something that doesn't show a tough face at all like it does in a hidden room. My uncle is a good example when it comes to socializing, not just conditioning and deacon."

Wilfried and Charlotte, who knew the chief cleric when he was doing a preview of the House of Lords in the workshop, sighed with admiration. I wouldn't say it out loud, but I don't want Charlotte to follow the example of the Cleric Chief's socialization.

... I'll cry if Charlotte starts making such laughs and usually gets to the top of the Buddha.

"Rosemaine, Vilfleet, Charlotte and Merhior. They're waiting here."

"Dear Bonifatius"

"Because I have already made a retirement announcement, I usually try not to appear in official places involving other territories, but this time I was asked to stay with their escorts as well."

"I'll keep them all together and protect them, so stay close," my uncle cautioned as he stretched his chest. Subtle Angelica and Brother Cornelius changed their positions to protect me from such uncles.

"We're welcoming more important guests today than Earlensbach"

When the adoptive father and adoptive mother entered and all the nobles on Aerenfest's side were brought together, the feast was started by the word of the adoptive father, and the door opened wide. Beyond the door are Georgine and Dietrinde, wearing the Vale of Arlensbach, with their companions coming in ahead of them.

Is it because of the summer, Georgine and Dietrinde wore a thin, transparent veil? Georgine is as elegant a foothold and attitude as ever as a magnificent queen, and Dietrinde smiles admirably at the nobles around him as he walks slightly behind it. The nobles were deliberately showing a favorable face to Dietrinde.

"If you look at it this way, that girl is really two melons from Veronica's youth."

"Does Master Bonifatius think so, too? I thought so, too."

In the corner where the clan of lords is consolidated, Blur and Uncle groan, and Wilfried reacts to the words. I don't know Veronica because I don't know her, but she seems to know Veronica from the time of her baptism.

... Chief Cleric, are you all right?

I look up to the chief priest who is on the stage with his side with the lords and their proximity. Dietrinde smiled intimately, and the clergyman who received that smile also deepened his grin. The gentle smile on his face, perhaps from around him, would make him look happy to be engaged and welcome visitors from Arlensbach. I don't know who you even hate to see your face with.

I am in the mood to be shown how to live as a nobleman of the chief clergyman, who has always said that he should not smile and show gaps and weaknesses to those around him, no matter how unpleasant. I kind of get a chest ache when I wonder if there's a place in Arlensbach where I can breathe a little, or if I'm going to live with that face all the time in Arlensbach from now on.

... I hope the clergyman makes it a little easier to live with.

Georgine and Dietrinde, who went up to the altar, greet the Lords and their wives. Then Melchior and his uncle, who would meet Dietrinde for the first time in the Lords' clan, rose to the stage to greet him for the first time.

"Allow me to pray for blessings on the glorious good day of the Rydenshaft, God of Fire, on the encounter guided by the Gods"

"I forgive you."

Merhior also prayed to Georgine for his blessings, and as soon as he was finished, he came down from the altar. "I did it well," he laughed proudly, gently stroking his head to compliment him.

"He was very good at it."

At the end of his greeting, Georgine, the representative of Arlensbach, began to talk about the marriage of the clergyman to Dietrinde.

"This time, Arlensbach and Aerenfest decided to get a strong link. I am delighted to welcome my daughter, Lady Ferdinand, as Dietrinde's son-in-law."

It was Ferdinand of Aerenfest who chose the King as his son-in-law to support the next Aub Ahrensbach, who now has only a female Lordship candidate, he said. Afterwards, he subtly condemns his adoptive father, stating that it is the possession of treasure that pushes him into the House of Lords of the Chief Cleric and that his voice is also raised from the Great Territories.

... The words and actions of dropping my adoptive father while wrapping him in oblate with a smile and noble words are the same as last time, but I feel more alive than before.

"Now, give me the Demon Stone"

Dietrinde, who nodded gently at Georgine's voice, slowly advances forward in front of the clergyman. Behind those half steps was Martina, a side-service apprentice, who was seen holding a small box.

When the clergyman kneels slowly on the spot, Brother Eckhardt and Justkus, close to the clergyman's side, also kneel and drop their necks. Martina opened the box gently and politely, making sure she was ready. When Dietrinde took out the demon stone, he offered it to the chief cleric.

"This marriage has been decided by the guidance of the conjugal gods who reign at the top of the heavens"

Beginning with such a greeting, God's praise continues. It was also understandable to me because more than half of it was the words of the Bible. Unless my interpretation is wrong, "There is no one else who can save you but me. Show me your greatest gratitude," he said.

... I'm not so confident in the interpretation of the noble language, but I don't think you're probably wrong because the Cleric Chief's smile deepened and Brother Eckhardt moved slightly and Justkus tried to hold him down.

"I dedicate this demonic stone to my God of darkness"

A demon stone was given by Dietrinde, and the clergyman received it with respect. Put that demon stone in the box that Yustokus was preparing, and instead, give him the demon stone that the clergyman seemed to have prepared.

"O my goddess of light"

With a smile, the chief cleric gently calls on Dietrinde to do so while offering the Demon Stone. It looks just like a scene in your mother's selection of romantic knight stories. As you can see from the sale of your mother's love story, there are a large number of enthusiastic readers in the Great Hall. The women breathed in unison.

"In the darkness that spreads everywhere, a single light falls..."

The Chief Cleric began to speak at length with a low voice that sounded good. Unlike Dietrinde, who quoted more than half of the contents of the Scriptures, the word of the chief cleric does not understand the meaning. If I slowly interpreted what you wrote to me on paper, I might have found out about half of it, but I don't understand it at the same speed as it is told.

... doesn't make sense. Something poetic. It feels like flowers and light are rambling after darkness, so I know it sounds like you're expressing joy. Yeah.

The mother, who does not know the true meaning of the clergyman, gleams her eyes. I definitely think one day there will be a dialogue of today's priests in the love story. Take your time to understand today's words, even then.

Even though it doesn't make sense to me, my surroundings are lukewarm, starting with my mother, and Dietrinde, who is dedicated to the word, also uplifts her cheeks and moisturizes her eyes, so I guess it makes sense to some extent besides me.

"Brunhilde, you don't seem to have a problem with the Demon Stone, do you?

Brunhilde nodded slowly at my inquiry. Summarizing the sloppy words spoken by the Chief Cleric, "I am truly delighted that I have decided to marry you. In order to express my determination to overcome all the difficulties if I were to marry you, I thus aligned all my attributes," he said of how hard I had to gather that material.

"They prepared the best possible quality objects, although the time to prepare the materials was too short after the marriage was decided. … When asked like this, Ferdinand's sacrificed magic stone is a consolidation of sincerity."

... What's that!? If I hadn't heard the truth in the meantime, I would have been absolutely deceived too! I will not trust only the clergyman's smile from now on. Scary!

"I can't believe Master Ferdinand did that for me..."

He is taking the demonic stone offered by the Chief Cleric and moisturizing his green eyes so that he is completely distraught.

...... ahhh! Master Dietrinde is fooled, too! I'm in trouble if you don't fool me, but it's complicated. Don't be fooled, I want to say!

With few people to understand my state of mind, the clergyman stands up who sneered the women on the spot. Blessing applause happens to the two people lining up on the stage, and if you shine a stamp, then it's time to socialize.

Georgine is surrounded by the old Veronicans. Dietrinde and the Cleric Chief also seem to be going to be greeting each other around, and the Cleric Chief is also in the shape of being surrounded by the old Veronicans.

The clergyman whose making smile is deepening, but wondering when that smile will peel off, I can't help but worry, but I can't do anything to work aggressively. As I looked around, I could see Rymund, who was seamless in his position.

"Rymund."

When Haltmoot speaks, Rymund smiles and approaches him.

"I was suddenly ordered to accompany him, but there wasn't much intimacy on Arlensbach's side either, and I was a little nervous"

With a nomination from the chief cleric, Rymund, who was quickly added to his entourage, apparently came to Aerenfest in a very restless state.

"I was also surprised that Lady Ferdinand was engaged to Lady Dietrinde, but when she heard that I was going to be held as a sidekick, I felt my eyes turn"

Being taken near the side of the clergyman means being near the side of the Lords' clan. They've been in an abandoned mood so far. Relationships with families are about to change dramatically, and Rymund, who wants to think only about research, is very difficult.

"It is more reassuring to me that those who are at all familiar are nearby. Best wishes to Master Ferdinand in Arlensbach. You two should not indulge in research and be unreasonable."

When I said so, Lymund laughed as though he was in trouble. Apparently I can't make a clear promise. I can't say strongly because I sometimes have the same reaction with regard to books. However, recording magic equipment for your novel directed at the chief cleric seems essential.

"Speaking of which, I was discussing a new issue with Master Ferdinand the other day."

"Let me know more"

I talked about the miniaturization of the recording's magic equipment, as Rymund sparkled my eyes. It becomes a blueprint, it becomes a real thing, and it tells me it looks interesting, although I can't say anything on this occasion without something.

"It would be nice to be able to talk to you during this stay. … although you seem to be very busy because it seems to contain various promises"

Chief Cleric came here with Dietrinde as he spoke to Reimund.

"Rosemayne, you're supposed to invite Dietrinde to my hall, but wouldn't it be good on the outside to be alone? I'd like you and Wilfried to come too, but how's it going?

"Because of this, may I join you, Charlotte or Merhior? There are few opportunities for cousins and sisters to get together like this."

I'm so anxious in Wilfried, where you get disgusted with me for neglecting to socialize. I have never even been to a tea party between my cousins in the House of Lords, so I would love Charlotte, who is a good follower, to stay with me.

"I don't mind. Cousins and sisters thus have little chance of getting together with each other, and they would prefer to be busy.... What do you think, Dietrinde?

Dietrinde smiles back with joy at the gentle smile that cares for her fiancée.

"This is how you all welcome me. I'm so glad. Thank you for your concern. I know."

The clergyman, with Dietrinde's consent, nodded once and turned his gaze to Rymund.

"Rymund, come with me. Let's show them something good in Arlensbach."

"I'm afraid so."

Thus, at the invitation of the Chief Cleric to the Hall, the welcome feast was successfully concluded without the clergymaker's laughter being stripped off. I thought... I was called in the next day. Dietrinde said the clergyman had a hair decoration snack.

"I told him I'd take care of it here and give it away, but if he can, he wants to order what he deserves. Rosemaine, can you get in touch with the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce?

"I can get in touch, but when shall I call you? You've already got plenty of promises, haven't you?

An invitation from the old Veronicans must have arrived just here. Can I afford to look at hair decorations? As I leaned my neck, the Chief Cleric exhaled deeply.

"I think it would be desirable if Dietrinde came to my hall. It won't last."

When you are invited to another person's tea party or meeting, the person you invite will shake the topic appropriately and entertain you, so if you respond to it, but if you invite them to your own hall, you must prepare the topic for yourself. I guess it's one of the topics or you want to kill most of your time by letting them pick hair decorations.

"Master Ferdinand should be blooming in research stories with Rymund. Me and Charlotte will deal with Dear Dietrinde and talk about hair decorations and fashion."

"... helpful"

The Chief Cleric exhaled, "What can I say next, but one more thing, will you help me?" and looked at me with thin gold eyes. It is rare to seek help from the Chief Cleric. I nodded quickly.

"I want you to lend me your temple service that day."

"Huh?"

It's no exaggeration to say it's adjacent to the castle. Apparently there's a clergyman's hall in position. Anything, in the house your father prepared, he was brought from the outhouse to live for a little while until the christening ceremony, which he officially gave way to after adulthood. But the chief clergyman was soon to enter the temple, so he said he barely used it.

It was that I wanted grey clerics and cooks to be moved from the temple just on the day when there would be more guests at once, as I only had people with as little control as possible.

"I've already moved my side and the cook, but not enough people. I wasn't even planning on inviting Charlotte or Merhior. Can you lend me Zahm and Fran?

If the guests are only Dietrinde, they can handle even a minimum number of people, but if the Lordship Candidates are to head to the same time, they won't have enough hands to mobilize the side services of the Temple. Actually, Brother Eckhardt's people in the hall are also being asked to mobilize.

"Okay. Fran and Zahm, then let me lend you Hugo and Ella."

"Thank you, Rosemaine"

A deep wrinkle is engraved between the frowns of the clergyman who says thank you. He looked very tired, wondering if it was because of the shadow falling on his face when he pressed his temples.

"Dear Ferdinand, you look pale. Don't overdo it."

"Don't worry. Recovery pills are ready."

That's what they said to me in the face made me extra worried.

Then, once I return to the temple, I ask Fran and Zahm to go to the hall of the chief cleric of the noble city. The two of them, who are the sidelines of the former clergyman, accepted with pleasure.

"If it was for the help of the Chief Cleric, I wouldn't leave it to you"

"Lots of close proximity to Master Rosemaine allows us to entertain even senior aristocrats and lord clans unmindfully. Rest assured."

Prepare the carriage and send it out to the two people who say comfortable words. At the same time, he contacted the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce. "He said the Lord's Candidate in Arlensbach would like to place an order for hair decorations," he wrote to Otto, who said, "Regardless of the temple, I would like to accompany an adult hair decorator to the Hall of the Chief Cleric, a Lords clan, because he cannot be accompanied by an underage Thuri".

Pre-Construction is a minor, but the real deal seems to be, "If Arlensbach has been after you so far, you should hide the weakness, the family, as much as possible". I have decided to listen to Otto's advice because I do not intend to put Touri at risk.

Even the castle is ready for the neighbors to entertain Dietrinde. And on that day I drove by carriage to the hall of the chief priest.

"I've never been in an uncle's hall before. Have you been there?

"I've never visited a museum since I've cleared up my business at the castle and temple."

"I am a little nervous because this is my first time out of the castle with an invitation"

That's what Melchior says as he looks out the window having fun. It is no exaggeration to say that the hall of the chief clergyman is adjacent to the castle, so the time spent riding the carriage is also short. Arrived immediately.

"... you're not even married, but Master Ferdinand lives in a large hall"

As I stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the white hall, which was very much the same size as your father's hall, ha, and sighed, Wilfried, who had descended first, clasped his shoulder.

"I would have been given it because I thought I would get married as soon as I grew up. For the uncle of the previous lord, I don't think it counts if your uncle is still married."

It was Fran who opened the door of the chief cleric's hall and welcomed us.
