Ascendance of a Bookworm

As soon as we arrive in Arlensbach, it is the beginning of the winter social world. The trouble is that Aub Ahrensbach is dying on the verge of our arrival, and few people make connections with the nobility, and he's in a state where he strokes his chest down that he was able to make some connections on the road with Master Retizia and his sides.

The truth is that Master Ferdinand was called to fill the hole in Aub Ahrensbach, which seemed really critical when he sent out his writ to Aerenfest.

Since Aub is dead, the heir, Lady Dietrinde, cannot even go to pick him up. And he said Aerenfest and the deepest Georgine left to pick him up, but he didn't feel too well on the road mourning his husband's death. Lady Retizia was summoned abruptly and was to catch up with the carriage with a nearby riding beast and greet her as a surrogate.

... Mr. Georgine's words are not very trustworthy.

Master Georgine spared no effort in order to become his next lord, and he was the one who planned everything to fall foe and ensure that he made his position. If you tell me you're still obsessed with Aub Aerenfest, I can convince you without any doubt. It's so obsessive and scary.

I have always liked to gather information from a young age. It's all just as important to me because I collect it in my own hobby, but for others it's information on jade stone mixing. There will be tons of crap to important stuff.

Such information about me. Master Georgine said that "information accuracy is poor and useless". With those words I was completely disinterested in releasing my information to Master Georgine, and at the same time I was dissipated from serving him.

But I'm a classmate with Master Georgine. And in a relationship where my mother and sister were side-servicing Master Georgine, when I was in the children's room, they said, "If you don't become a civilian in order to serve me, you can't side-service the heterosexual Justkus".

... right. If so...

I decided to take a side course. My mother and sister serve Master Georgine as a sidekick, so I thought I didn't have to serve.

It's just that with my choice of side-servicing courses, "Justkus is a traitor. I can't trust you," he said, making the hit on Master Georgine very harsh.

I didn't know at the time, but the time I decided to choose the course was when Lady Zilvester was born and there was talk that my mother could be moved to the lead side service of Lady Zilvester. It seemed to me that I would take a side course not because I wanted to serve as my own civilian, but because I wanted to serve Master Zilvester.

To be honest, I don't care what they thought. I didn't want to come with either. Even with the face of a lord candidate and a loving lady, there was a fierce emotion swirling in her chest, and neither did Master Georgine, who did not choose the means to sink her enemies, nor did Master Zilvester, who, as soon as she was well, even though she was often sick and asleep until she was about three years old, became an incredible thug, want to serve.

"Justkus, make me some tea"

"Yes, Master Ferdinand."

It was Master Ferdinand I wanted to serve, even though I gave him my name. He is a good lord who uses my information well and lets me be free in moderation.

Ferdinand had been neglected and tried to be eliminated by his predecessor, the First Lady, Veronica, but had been successfully involved. Ironically, I can say that Veronica nurtured Master Ferdinand's excellence without trying to be patient, attentive, diligent, etc.

"Can you show us to the kitchen, Zergius?

"Yes."

Speak to the side-service Zergius attached by Arlensbach, and I will be taught the way to the kitchen. At the same time I must teach Zergius Ferdinand's preferences, etc.

"Now that we're in the room, we have to head to the kitchen, which will take a bit of work, but after the star knot ritual with Dear Dietrinde, it will be easier because we're moving to the residence area of Aub in the main building"

It was the rooms that Master Ferdinand was given. Master Ferdinand, who is not yet married, cannot enter where Aub's living room in the main building is located. Once the star knot ritual is over, we will be moving the room.

... but when.

Although the inheritance of Aub will take place at the Spring Lords' Conference, it is uncertain whether the rites of star knot can be done together at that time. Because Master Dietrinde dyes the magic of the foundations with his own magic, and it is a priority to make them entirely ours.

... you won't be able to dye it while you're in the House of Lords, and whatever you think, Master Ferdinand's magic will be stronger.

The underlying magic should still be stained with the magic of the deceased Aub Ahrensbach. Since they are parents and children, magic is similar, and there shouldn't be that much inconvenience in handling them, but if they marry, the couple's magic affects each other and stains each other. Given that Master Ferdinand's magical influence makes him more likely to rebel against Aub's magic, is it likely that marriage will be left behind?

"This is the way to work, but it's a shortcut to the kitchen."

Zergius says so with a smile, but also goes to the kitchen in the shortest possible time through the path used by the lower workers. As I remembered the path, I cleared my ears to the conversations of the lower workers who walked around busily.

During the winter months, building relations between nobles and gathering information are the main tasks. Master Ferdinand also tells me if we can get any information about Mr. Georgine.

Because of the death of Aub Ahrensbach, Master Georgine had to move his living room away for the next Deathlinde to become Aub, and now he seems to be in the process of moving. It is a great opportunity to dive in and out of work intensely.

It just takes time to prepare. First of all, I must remember this accent. Nobles who interact in the House of Lords and have exchanges in the Lords' Council and elsewhere make little difference, but they need to remember the rhetoric and distinctive rhetoric when trying to interact with civilians who are working underneath. It seems a little different from the Lower Town Rim I learned when crossing into the Lower Town of Aerenfest. Still, I thought I would be able to divert the motion, etc., while watching the surrounding downwork.

... but you're a pain in the ass. Do you have any clothing until you work down?

I can't even dive in if I don't get some underwork gear. When I greeted Master Georgine when I arrived at the castle, I said, "I didn't expect to be able to spend time with you here, Justkus. Isn't Goudrune with you? I don't think I'm going to see you here, and you're even going to feel a little lonely," he said.

I mean, as soon as you wandered around dressed as a woman, you'd know, and they stabbed you with a nail. Master Georgine knows when I was doing whatever I wanted in the House of Lords, so it's a little hard to do.

"Speaking of which, Master Ferdinand. Are you sure you don't want to practice fesh peel?

Serving tea, I asked Master Ferdinand.

He said bumps with a difficult face "Is there any good way" every time he arrived at the inn even on the road, but in the end Master Ferdinand couldn't think of a way to make an effective ally. I have been consulted several times, but I have since abandoned my thoughts because I thought the princess's proposal to play the proposed fesh peel was very valid.

Aub, now that he's dead, even though he needs to make allies quickly, Master Ferdinand doesn't like dealing with people, on all fours. Although the challenges given are perfectly accomplished, too much emphasis is placed on reasonableness and the emotional aspect is left unaddressed.

Such a Ferdinand, but the tone of the fesh peel was soft, the singing voice seemed to stain and many were waiting for it during the House of Lords. This time it will also help to unravel the hearts and minds of the Arlensbach. There are many women who snooze, and it seems visible that the impression will be somewhat better.

... The princess often understands Master Ferdinand.

When I grinned, Master Ferdinand looked a little nasty. It seems that it is difficult to follow the advice of the princess.

"Master Ferdinand was famous for his fesh peel, so I'd love to hear it too"

Zergius seemed to be attending the House of Lords at the same time as Master Ferdinand, a side service that he made his name for knowing excellence and would love to assist. I still don't fully trust you, but Zergius' eyes are filled with admiration and respect for Master Ferdinand.

According to Zergius, anyone who learns about Master Ferdinand's excellence is also in Arlensbach and is welcome in administrative terms. The upper management seems to feel that it is heavy loads to entrust to Master Dietrinde, and if we can have them on our side at all, we will never have gone beyond that.

"Master Ferdinand will be Letitzia's educator, so we know it's effective to show excellence. Will it be played at the beginning feast? Or should we set up another opportunity?

To Zergius' persuasion, Master Ferdinand was promised to sigh like he had given up and play Feche Peel at the beginning feast.

"Play a little fesh peel. Stay back."

"Yes, sir."

We also braid new songs given by the princess, which means that when we are ready as usual, we fall back from before Master Ferdinand. Only the escort knight Eckhardt will follow.

I was just thinking about how to get some underwork clothes while I was packing and getting my own room ready.

"Zergius, I'll clean up the tea."

"I'll go with you. I can't let you be alone yet."

Apparently Zergius is also a spy on me. "It helps because I'm not so good at learning the way," I said, letting Zergius hold the tea bowl and myself a little heavier, such as a pot. Head to the kitchen through the lower work path that you passed earlier.

... I'm a little distracted.

To the downwork of one of us who is avoiding it so that it is easy for us aristocrats to pass, I smashed the honey to add the tea and sweetness left in the pot.

"Sorry! It hit my arm."

"Oh, oh, you can handle it if you wash it, so don't worry about it"

"Yes, Yustox. That's not what you care about."

I shook my head with a stern face when I heard Zergius say that the downwork I had not properly avoided was bad.

"No, we're supposed to take responsibility when we do this at Aerenfest. This is Arlensbach, but then it's my fault. Zergius, can I ask you to clean up? If you don't apologize to his boss."

"That's just..."

"So when you're done cleaning up, will you follow me?

"... I have no choice. I'll accompany you."

I guess they're telling me not to leave me alone. Zergius was supposed to take me to the one who was overseeing the lower work after he sighed a little trouble.

"I'm going to take you around, but I want you to come with me. I apologize to your boss and ask him to pay for the new outfit. Then it won't be a job."

There can be no downwork against what the aristocrats say. Forcefully, when I finished cleaning up in the kitchen, I went with Zergius to the department that was overseeing the downwork, put in an explanation and an apology for the backdrop of the matter, and asked him to take me to the department that was paying for the outfits.

"Nobles don't have to do that to their downworkers."

"Then I'm sorry, and Master Ferdinand will scold me"

He shoved it off with a smile and put in an apology from me, paid for it and asked him to pay for his new outfit.

... doesn't seem to confirm his name or face either. This is going to work out if the nobles head together and pay for it.

Having confirmed the flow through which the new attire would be paid, a few days later I met with Dear Ferdinand and Eckhardt to ask Zergius to give me a job and disguise myself as a downworker after I had removed the eyes of the surveillance. I change the color of my hair, slightly change the look on my face, and dirty clothes similar to Earlensbach's attire after leaving it slightly thin and dirty from hair to body.

"Eckhardt, take this and get me to pay for a new outfit"

"Ha!"

I asked Master Ferdinand to write a brush and went with Eckhardt to the department where I would pay for the outfits. And I get paid by Eckhardt to say, "I'm sorry about myself, and Master Ferdinand will scold me". By showing Master Ferdinand the wooden plaque he had written, he was able to pay for a new outfit.

"Aerenfest guests are changing, aren't they? You can't afford to work all the way down."

"No, Aerenfest has a heart-breaking Virgin for even orphans. He scolds the Lord when he treats his underwork roughly."

To Eckhardt's words, "That's another tough Virgin," the man gave me the attire with a bitter smile.

"Thank you so much for your help. I'm going back to work."

Having obtained the downwork attire, I thank Eckhardt on the spot and when I split up, I quickly explore the downwork path and head to Master Georgine's outhouse. Gather new information.

I gathered information as I interacted and worked downstairs. When you change your clothes and get dirty in Vashen in a storage unit that only uses a lower job, you return to Master Ferdinand's room with a face that doesn't eat anything.

"Where have you been, Justkus?

"... Zergius, did you not ask Master Ferdinand?

"I heard you headed to the mixing room. I didn't even see you in the mixing room."

"Ah. Then you must go wrong. I went to the kitchen to prepare the recovery pills."

Everything is not a lie. I also peeled the calfe potatoes in the kitchen. There's a woman around who likes to chat. It was a good harvest.

Flushing gently through Zergius's question, I offer tea to Master Ferdinand.

"Have you finished the Fesh Peel song?

"Ah. Tomorrow, I'll show you"

Master Ferdinand laughs. Apparently it's a confident one. You won't have to worry about anything if this happens. With that in mind, Master Ferdinand placed his anti-bugging magic equipment in a position to hide in the tea apparatus without making a gentle noise. I quickly grasp the magic equipment while pretending to put the tea contract down.

"Zergius, please prepare the bath. I want in by dinner."

"Yes, sir."

Lady Ferdinand muttered "report" as she watched Zergius quickly return her heel. Right now, only Master Ferdinand, Eckhardt and I are in this room. There are more sights than expected, not even reports. I can't waste my time, so I'll start reporting right away.

Speak up as Zergius comes back and does something else to make sure he doesn't look like he's in conversation.

"Aerenfest doesn't seem to think very well in Arlensbach. The opinion was that it was too non-cooperative, even though it was the birthplace of the current First Lady, Mr Georgine"

Master Georgine has been so pathetic since Aerenfest took his place and there has been no busy assistance. Despite gaining a magical adoptive daughter, the Virgin of Aerenfest, we only had to rank ourselves higher and have no regard for this one at all.

"I guess Aerenfest is just right to deflect dissatisfaction"

"Perhaps. Then, it seems that Gen. Georgine's faction has many former Second Lady subordinates. He said the original First Lady and Second Lady were not close, and the Third Lady, Mr. Georgine, was close to the Second Lady who had the inheritance."

However, there is the execution of the Second Lady and the legacy of her succession, which the First Lady gains by adopting her granddaughter as her granddaughter. I hear the Second Lady moved straight to Master Georgine.

"The rebellion against the First Lady, of course, was given as a reason why the adopted daughter, Lady Retizia, who was to be brought here by Drevanhell, was too young. The biggest reason is because of the lack of magic, right? As the number of lord candidates decreased and the magic supply became more difficult, the number of clerics filling the Little Holy Grail also moved to the centre and dropped sharply. However, we have been entrusted with the administration of the former Berkeshtock and the territory has increased"

Nor was it left to the king without gluthrithheit to manage without being able to redraw the boundaries. The burden becomes outrageous.

"The First Lady said she was somewhat behind in focusing on the old Berkeshtock given after the coup d 'état. Priority is given to enriching our foundation, Arlensbach. In the meantime, it seems that Master Georgine procured the magic of the Little Holy Grail for that Berkeshtock from nowhere. From that background, Mr. Georgine was admired by the Second Lady, the former inhabitants of Berkestok."

"... the little chalice elsewhere that had been brought into the temple by the former temple chief would be it"

Master Ferdinand put his arms together and exhaled slowly. Looking sideways at it, I check to see if there is any hazardous material lurking in my bedroom.

"Even though Aerenfest could afford an Aub adopted Virgin rich in magic, it's terrible because it dismisses Master Georgine's request, they say. It's not like we can afford this, either, because for residents living in old Berkestok, the presence or absence of the Little Holy Grail leads directly to the death or death problem."

"It's a mistake to rely on Aerenfest about Aerensbach's territory, but I can't help but resent that the aid that was being received is suddenly cut off..."

Master Ferdinand thought with a difficult face that Georgine's forces were bigger than expected.

"Master Georgine has the support of the Second Lady and the Berkestok system, but doesn't seem to get along with the First Lady who will take Master Retizia as his successor, and it seems very problematic around Master Georgine's outhouse that Master Retizia will be an adult and heir. I even heard a voice saying that even though Master Dietrinde was here, there was no need to put Master Lettizia on his trail. Somehow I felt less known about the wishes and royal life of the deceased Aub. It's around there that you rush to report it, right? Detailed reports of who and who are good friends and where the vegetables were fresh will be made later."

In the middle of that report, Master Ferdinand stood up. It seems Zergius has finished preparing the bath.

"Justkus, I'll take care of the magic equipment"

"Yes, sir."

At the beginning of the feast, Master Ferdinand was given a fesh peel in the name of a welcome. At Jürgenschmidt, a few classic songs are composed by the princess and a few songs are performed by Master Ferdinand.

The newest song was one that I think of my remote hometown.

As the princess saw it, Ferdinand herself was happily accepted by a woman who overheard her. After the performance, she was surrounded by women and the invitation in the winter social world began to arrive. It's important to know how many allies you can have this winter. I have to get as many invitations as possible and keep my face connected.

"Master Ferdinand's fesh peel is as wonderful as ever. Ditter's arm hasn't faded either?

"... fading. Last year, it was a hard win for Heishitze. I couldn't afford to win back then."

"Were you still competing with Heishitze!? That's Dunkelferger's active knight, so doesn't that mean his arm hasn't fallen off?"

Master Ferdinand smiles invincibly as he looks around at the knights of Arlensbach who raise his voice of surprise.

If the nobles of the same age as Master Ferdinand praised Feschpiel's unchanged arm and began memorabilia about his excellence regarding Ditter at the time, he began to change the eyes of those who looked down on Lord Candidates and Master Ferdinand, who had no mother who was in the temple of the lower realm called Aerenfest.

You're my fiancée.

Master Dietrinde stands next to Master Ferdinand laughing at Hoho.

... Oh, Master Ferdinand's smile deepened.

I instantly checked my stomach pills when I saw the smile when I put a bad person in front of me.
