Ascendance of a Bookworm

"You seem to be arguing about who's going, but the Italian restaurant is in the lower town, so you can only go to the temple with permission from a minor."

"Ah!?

I will put an end to the strife of my neighbours. I tend to forget because I'm easily in and out of the temple, but my adoptive father has given me permission to go as far as the temple on the border between the aristocratic district and the lower town. I can't have a minor heading downtown for work. Brother Cornelius, who went to an Italian restaurant before, used the family frame successfully because he also had a father and Brother Eckhardt, not entirely for work.

A group of minors gazed heavily at my words. In the meantime, Leonore tilts his neck with a decoy.

"So are they taking the four Cornelius, Haltmut, Angelica and Darmuel? Do you call Otilier or Richarda for the side service you serve?

"No. Italian restaurants are shops for civilian millionaires, so nobles are not on their way. It's enough to have two escort knights so you can take turns eating, and I'll take Fran to serve."

"Don't say such cold things, Master Rosemaine"

It's bad for the shocked Hartmoots, but to be honest, it's more difficult for a store to go to an Italian restaurant with so many aristocrats nearby. If we take everyone as a sidekick, they will eat in the sidekick room while taking turns because they are not guests. But the side service room is not for the nobility, nor is it that big. Naturally, there is no provision for those who eat in the side service room, and it is not envisaged that the side service will take the provision. If you take a large number of nobles as my side, it will be the source of confusion.

"If you want to go to dinner, I'll introduce you, so don't do it yourself as a customer. All those who are unfamiliar with eating without a salary. I think it's hard to eat in a side room."

"I don't have to work for you."

"I'm fine, Master Rosemayne."

Darmuel and Angelica answered immediately with a crisp face, so they decided to take the two to the escort. I know I can eat without complaining when I don't have enough hands to serve Frans at prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals, and somehow I felt harsh telling Darmuel to cut himself off as a guest.

"I think the late Brother Cornelius should invite Leonore to go with us."

Ugh, I laughed teasingly, but Brother Cornelius laughed back, "That's a very good idea," he said. And transfer your gaze to Haltmoot.

"What do you think of Haltmoot when it comes to going as a guest, not as a side?

"I think it's a really great idea. Because I want to dine with Master Rosemaine, not in the side room."

Haltmut and Brother Cornelius are totally willing to go. Brother Cornelius spoke to Leonore when he thought Frieda might need a letter of change in numbers.

"If you're not on escort duty, but just going as a guest, even minors can get into and out of downtown, right? Leonore, would you like to come to an Italian restaurant with us?

"I'm glad, Cornelius"

Why don't you ask Leonore out? And I'm the one who made fun of him, but when he's so invited, it's boring. I want you to stop because Darmuel is pathetic if he hits on me in front of me.

"Doesn't going as a customer require the accompaniment or permission of a parent?

"If my fiancée, Cornelius, is with me, I think he'll allow it."

I said that with a happy smile that Leonore thought a little bit about. Brunhilde shines her hard candy eyes when she hears the word parental permission.

"It's also important to know about Lower Town in order to make Grechelle a trading city. I have little knowledge of Lower Town."

"It is important to know the scope of Rosemayne's activities as a sidekick, and if you report that your sister is under surveillance, you will be granted permission."

Looks like both Brunhilde and Lieselator are totally willing to go too. I was looking at the two people thinking hard about pre-construction explaining to their parents, and Philine raised her hand like a hack.

"My guardian is Lady Rosemaine. Permission not to join us."

"My guardian is Master Rosemaine, too."

Philine and Lauderich said so with their eyes shining. Speaking of which, I was. I'm the two guardians away from my parents.

... Is this the flow to take them all already?

With all the people who want to accompany you so far, it's a good idea to treat your hard-working neighbors to good food once in a while. Though I'm a little concerned about the fact that it sums up as a farewell to the chief cleric.

If I thought so, Eudit would just moisten one person's eyes and stare at me.

"Dear Rosemayne, could I be the only one leaving a message?!?

Eudit can't seem to think of an excuse to get parental permission, but it would be too pathetic to just go one person for whatever it takes.

"… try contacting me so I can get your parents permission"

"Thank you, Master Rosemaine!

Italian restaurants are shops where customers take their services. In other words, I will not be the only one, but Philine and Lauderich will also need a service. My guardian is me, and the two of the castle dwellers have no side service that I can take them to at these times. I looked around at the side service in the temple chief's office and called out.

"May I have Fran, Zahm as Rhoderich, Monica as Philine's servant, and Rosina as well come with me for music?

"Yes, sir."

"That's why we're having a big meal today"

The flans packing in the temple chief's office must head to the Italian restaurant early to prepare. I shut the keys to the temple chief's office as Frans departed, waiting with the escort knight as I helped the clergyman in the clergyman's room.

"I don't really understand that the proximity goes with the guests. What's the point of letting them accompany you?

"It's troubling when people say what it means to be accompanied. This is a reward for your hard work. It is for the store to increase the number of aristocratic customers, so you will be asked to contribute to the sales from now on. Today it's all my luxury."

Since it is a farewell, I will pay for the Chief Cleric as well. The Chief Cleric became a very subtle face in my words.

"You pay for everyone?... As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to ask a young woman like you to pay me."

"As a farewell, I invited you here, so it's only natural that I have your bill. My closest friends are always working hard for me, so I'm here. I'm only the chief cleric today."

The carriage picked me up while we were talking about that. Travel by carriage with the chief cleric and escort knight. Darmuel and Angelica take the same carriage from the temple, but the proximity of the aristocratic district is supposed to take a carriage to each of them. He asks me to ride with those who go from the castle, also with regard to Filine and Rhoderich.

It's an honor to have you on your feet.

Frieda and a few servants knelt down to welcome me. When I exchanged greetings and went inside, I knew exactly how well it was simmering, the smell of a consomme that spit in my mouth filled the store. I also hear music from the diner, and I can see that Rosina has already started playing.

"You're all here already. The shopkeepers are very nervous because this is the first time I have ever welcomed a guest of nobility."

"I'm sorry you said you couldn't. But it would be harder if it wasn't now, wouldn't it?

It is now just after the autumn harvest season and it is time to gather the most ingredients on the market all year round. Livestock, which has eaten a lot of food to get past winter and has become meaty, has been crushed to save winter feed to the critical point. This is the easiest season to bring a nobleman to, compared to the summer when winter has just dawned and food is scarce and other merchants arrive.

"Besides... it annoys other customers when they come to eat individually"

I wouldn't want ordinary civilians to shy away from eating with nobility. If you can be present and make connections, you can't even talk just because you're in the same space, and it's decided that eating nervously with no coarse phase doesn't taste good. You should rent it out and finish it all at once.

"Thank you, Master Rosemaine, for your care. You said the other day you wanted to eat Ilse's food, didn't you? The named Ilse is very tense."

Moving to the dining room, I could see how excited I was and how happy every face seemed. Delicious food has the power to make everyone happy. I'd like the clergyman to feel a little happy before heading to Arlensbach as well.

"This way, Master Rosemaine."

Fran also wears the clothes he prepared for today and pulls the chair in a glimpse. I was allowed to sit in my chair and hear Frieda explain today's menu. As an escort knight, it was Brother Eckhardt who was attached behind the clergyman, and Darmuel was attached behind me. Angelica and Justkus are supposed to eat first as replacement personnel for the escort.

"Enjoy your stay now"

When Frieda finished explaining and left the dining room, she tried to replace it and pushed a wagon with a large plate of the shop service. First Fran takes it apart into my plate, and then the side service of the chief cleric takes it apart for the chief cleric in the lead role. After that, they sit in the order of their identities, so each side of the service serves in turn.

The first to be carried is carpaccio with turnips and raw ham.

Thin, beautifully sliced turnips and raw ham alternate to circle on a plate, spreading like flowers. In the middle was a small mountain of turnip leaves chopped and watered, bright green. Sautéed by crisps and scattered throughout would be a garlic leaga.

The carpaccio sauce, which is being spinning with a gentle curve, is not only mixed with salt and citrus fruit juice in the vegetable oil I taught it, but with the addition of minced lanier and herbs there, which seems delicious to me.

I carried a bite in my mouth with a poisonous look at everyone. The acidity of the carpaccio sauce goes well with the saltiness of the raw ham and the light taste of the turnips, making me want to eat more. Stir-fried in crisps in the soft toothpaste of raw ham and turnips, Riga added a new flavor to her entire mouth when she chewed it off.

"... this cook's got a lot on his hands. Unlike the sauce my cook makes"

That's what the clergyman, who shrugged only the sauce with a fork, said as he was impressed.

"The research enthusiasm of Ilse is amazing. Looks like a clergyman trying to make better magic equipment."

Everyone seems to enjoy it, and from me I hear a voice that sounds pleasant from the lower nobles with their seats away.

And the clergyman's favorite double consomme is brought in. It is not quite edible because it is very laborious.

"Is today's double consomme also beautiful?

"Oh, it's exceptional. Reminds me of the shock the first time I ate"

As the clergyman indulged in the beauty of the consomme by gently closing his eyes, I did not speak any more to the clergyman, but sought his thoughts from the senior nobles in the seats nearby.

"How about a double consomme?

"Lady Rosemaine's contemplated soup alone was a surprising delicacy, but I was surprised by today's soup. You also have this kind of soup."

When Brunhilde says so, Leonore nods several times too.

"It's strange how it looks like there's nothing in it, but it's dark in color and tastes a lot better than previous soups. It's delicious."

"This condensed soup of splendour is like Rosemaine"

I know Haltmoot is happy to see you smile refreshingly, but I don't know what that means. I don't want to know.

The next one I was transported was a lasagna that had just come out of the oven, and on a large plate there was still a noise of grooming, burnt cheesy puffiness moving. Seemed to already have a cut in it, and Fran took me apart a lasagna cut into tiny squares.

When placed on a plate, white sauce and meat sauce, sandwiched between lasagna like Millefeuille, overflow from the slices as thick and unraveled. A lot of cheese was thinly threaded in the cutlery to split, and Fran severed the cheese as she struggled a bit.

"This is hot, so be careful when you eat."

Despite caution, Rhoderich apparently burned his tongue. I saw him hastily drinking water. Eudit, who was laughing and watching it, was cautiously cold with his first bite, but with his second bite gently in his mouth, he hastily reaches for the water and is laughed at by Philine and Lauderich.

"That's busy."

"It's better if the meal is lively, right?

"... for me, eating was an absolute necessity to live."

It didn't seem uncommon for his father to be absent at meetings, etc. and when he had to have dinner with Veronica, a subtle late-breaking poison was served, or only his plate of different ingredients were used, even if it appeared to be the same meal at first glance, and the meal at the castle was a series of tensions.

"I was happy with breakfast and lunch just because we didn't need to eat together, but I don't think I ever thought it was particularly good"

"It's a terrible childhood. If I had been there, Veronica would have been in trouble."

"Fool. If I had laid my hands on Veronica at the time, it would have been you who made a big deal out of it."

There's no way I can stay safe with my hands on the Lady Lordship, the Chief Cleric says, but I think I can go if I'm prepared to stab him wrong. Brother Eckhardt nodded cocklessly at my claim and murmured, "Do you agree with Rosemayne?"

"I didn't think you guys looked alike here."

"Master Ferdinand is in trouble," Brother Cornelius says comforting words to the priest, who sighed deeply.

"What are you talking about like some other HR, Cornelius? After I head to Arlensbach, it's their job to hold Rosemayne and Haltmoot and the other three coming from Dunkelferger."

"It's too difficult"

Through the back of Brother Cornelius with his head, the supply carried the main. The main thing today is a veal cutlet. A coat of cheese exchanged in fine bread flour is crisp and fragrant baked in butter to look golden.

I had Fran cut me into smaller pieces because I was already full. The plate also serves Ilse's special sauce. At first, they taste cutlets squeezed together with citrus and sour zine, and then they can be eaten with sauce.

"Thanks to this zine, you'll be able to eat refreshingly even though it has a rich flavour."

The chief cleric seems to have liked eating over the zine, but the sides of the eating and growing platter seem to have preferred the intense taste of the sauce.

"How do you make this sauce? It's the first taste I've ever had."

Rezelator is staring at the sauce with a serious face, and Eudit is also nodding, "You want your family to eat, but you won't be able to do it with our cook," he said.

By the way, I prefer a refreshing zine. I think I would have been happier if I had grated pong vinegar.

And when the main thing is over, the escorts take turns. Angelica and Justkus came back and Brother Eckhardt and Darmuel went to dinner.

"Sounds satisfying, Angelica"

"The dessert was very good"

Angelica's words raised expectations around her at once. The dessert is Mont Blanc with chestnut-like nuts and Tanier cream. Tanier's favorite brother Cornelius sparkled his pitch-black eyes.

"I will eat this for a long time. Because when you order at home, your mother will look disgusted."

I gave Brother Cornelius a recipe for cream of fruit as a reward for Angelica's grade-raising team, but he asked for all that in Tanier season and his mother scolded him.

"When I ordered this treat for three days in a row, it took me a long time to make this cream and the cook had a hard time, and I didn't want to eat the same treat every day," my mother noted.

Brother Cornelius seems to want to taste something he likes every day. We've been together for quite a while, but I've never known it before.

"Tanier's cream is not too sweet, so I think it's relatively easy to eat for you..."

"Oh, right. But aren't we a little short for women?

That's what the chief cleric said, pointing his gaze toward those with Philine and Eudit. Even Katorkar's two favorites with honey seemed better off with something sweeter. It looks a little unexpected.

"Don't worry. Ilse is well prepared."

Another dessert was carried. Raffel pie. Raffel is about the fruit of the season between apples and pears. Although there have always been treats to eat with sliced ruffel on top of pie dough, the recipe for sautéing and simmering the ruffel with butter and sugar is what I taught you.

"This one is pretty sweet, so you should keep it the size of a taste," said the chief cleric.

If you like it, you can have it split again. The chief cleric took a bite and said, "Delicious, but too sweet. Sure enough for a bite," he said.

My favorite thing about Raffel Pie is that it looks like a leaselator. I tasted it quietly so it was difficult to understand, but it was changed twice.

"Are you satisfied with your meal today?

"Oh, I'm satisfied"

"Fran, will you bring me the farewell I made for the Chief Cleric? Then back off and have a meal."

Fran immediately brought me a crate and gave me the contents. I am an adorable patterned cloth bag big enough to hold with one hand, once I wear a ribbon to make it look like a gift.

"Rosemaine, wasn't this meal a farewell?

"So is the meal, but so is this one. It doesn't have to be one thing, does it?

"That's right..."

After seeing me with strange eyes, the chief cleric took the cloth bag I offered him. It's normal to carry it in a crate and there's no culture of packaging. Here, the ribboned cloth bag I handed over just seemed like an odd thing. The clergyman held the cloth bag and tilted his neck so that he did not know how to handle it.

"Untie this ribbon. It's in there."

"So what's this cloth bag?

"Whatever you say... isn't it cute?

"I don't know what that means. What the hell do you do this kind of trouble for, at all..."

The clergyman unwraps the ribbon as he carves a wrinkle between his eyebrows and complains, peeking inside. The chief cleric solidified as he saw something incredible.

"Rosemaine, what's this?

"This amulet is made of ragish scales. Haltmoot taught me that I made it."

Instead of giving you one Raigish demon stone that glows rainbow, Hartmoot was taught about the magic formations of amulets used in Schwartz and Weiss clothing, and made amulets out of rainbow demon stones.

"If you hold it without letting go of your skin, it will surely protect you. What do you say? I guess I've grown a lot, too, huh?

Phew, and as I stretched my chest, the chief cleric flipped a cloth bag. A drop-shaped rounded demonic stone, more than five centimeters in size, rolled out into the hands of the chief cleric. The Chief Cleric looks carefully at it as he passes thin magic through it.

"... there seems to be no particular mistake"

"Because Haltmoot taught me. Though the truth would have been best if I could have made it by myself."

"I am not wrong to rely on Haltmoot because I am anxious if what you make alone will work"

When the chief cleric looked up at Justkus with a hoot of laughter, Justkus also brought an elongated crate.

"To you from me, too, farewell."
