Ascendance of a Bookworm

Rituals and music for everyone

"Dear Rosemaine, which God have you gained the blessing of?

I don't know if I can write on the book board, though Rhoderich will take out the book board and look at me in a groaning manner. Finally, it's troublesome to be noticed around. I shook my head when I saw Philine, who was concentrating because of it, lifted up her face hah and took out the book board.

"If both Roderich and Filine have learned the words of prayer, please perform the ritual"

"Not yet."

"I told you to focus on yourself, didn't I? I will study seating after tomorrow."

Since I cannot return without Richarda and the escort knights picking me up, I decide to wait for everyone else's ritual to come to an end as I study.

They say that getting protection makes a difference in the consuming magic when using magic, so I'd like to use it for a bit, but not where everyone works hard to memorize the words of prayer. I get in the way of class.

"I remember. I'm coming."

"Brother Wilfried, do you have any recovery pills?

"Ah."

It was Wilfried who stood up rattled and headed for my next ritual. He was still quick to remember for saying prayer words when providing magic supplies. Drop off going between the deepest in the face of tension with Hillsur.

I felt the seriousness of the students in the other realms had increased slightly with the second one headed from Aerenfest.

"We did it, Rosemaine!

After a while, Wilfried came out from the deepest part with a delightful face. He looks as careful as he can to keep him from rushing out, and he's pretty fast.

"All of them have been blessed by the twelve gods. Dr. Hillsur was surprised, too."

"Twelve gods?

"Didn't you get a lot of protection from a lot of family members, Wilfried"

My surroundings began to bother me. Vilfleet is a six-class, and unlike Angelica, he doesn't do anything wrong with the names of the gods, so he thought he would get some protection, but protection from the Twelve Gods is surprisingly common around him.

"Rosemaine, how'd it go? You've got a lot of family protection, haven't you?

... I have gained your blessing from forty or so gods, how hard it is to say. Shut up.

You don't need to depress your mood, Vilfleet, or drop a bomb while you bother at twelve. Apprentice Angelica, smile and deceive, and I lean my neck.

"Surely I have given you protection from more than one family member, but is it so rare? It was in textbooks and reference books, and so much so that you have to remember the names of all your family members. In fact, I and Brother Wilfried both receive protection from multiple dependants. Isn't it normal to get protection from multiple dependants?

I don't think it's unusual at all to start the ritual of obtaining protection and both of us are done. Hannelore smiled like trouble in my words.

"Normally, you get protection according to the number of aptitudes, Master Rosemaine. Previous actions will be greatly involved in obtaining protection beyond the number of fitness. Although it is not uncommon for a Knight Apprentice or Dunkelferger student to gain more than one blessing from a Fire Family Member, it is uncommon for a Lordship Candidate who does not specialize in martial arts like Master Wilfried to gain more than one family member's blessing, and I think it is very great."

... Dunkelferger has a lot of students who can gain the protection of their warring relatives. Something convincing.

I have also heard that the civilian Clarissa is highly capable of combat. That's Dunkelferger. Maybe Hannelore will also gain the protection of the families of the battle system.

"Is anyone trying next?

"... I'm coming"

"Hirschühl, it's your turn. If it's Oltveen, I'll go in the back."

Oltveen and Gundorf will now go between the deepest. The fact that two of us, me and Wilfried, gained protection from more than one family member, made our eyes shine on expectations and went in between the deepest, but seemed to gain only the same amount of protection as our aptitude numbers. He came back with a dismayed face.

"I couldn't get you more than one family member."

That's not just Oltveen, but everyone else finishes the ritual without obtaining protection beyond the aptitude number. Hannelore alone came out with a very subtle look as it was demonstrated that protection from multiple dependants was uncommon.

"Didn't Master Hannelore also get the protection of his family?

"No, here you go. It's the goddess of time, Drefangua, and the god of martial arts, Angleaf."

"Isn't that wonderful? Why are you looking at me like that?

You don't look like a very happy face. He has a very confused face. To my point Hannelore looked around in a panic. Light pink or purple hair tied in two shakes beside the ear.

"Also, of course, I'm glad. I'm glad, but I don't know why I got your blessing... I don't think you've been able to do one thing that caught the eye of Drefangua or Angleaf."

It's really strange, and Hannelore left the room.

"Dear Wilfried, Dear Rosemayne. Excuse me first."

When the senior nobleman of Flaberturk, gathered in a cloak of water, greeted us and left the room, only Aerenfest students remained in the auditorium. Intermediate and junior aristocrats are so reluctant to care about class differences that inevitably the Aerenfest students will remain until the end.

Among Aerenfest students, they still perform rituals in class order, and return with the same number of aptitudes as the others.

"All you have to do is Lauderich and Filine. Rhoderich, come on in."

"I want to know the results of the filine, so later is good"

I'll go first, then.

Filine stood up to Rhoderich's words. Its face is wrapped in tension as it grips the healing pills that are falling back on its hips.

"Pray with all your heart and you'll be fine, Philine"

I nodded cocklessly and dropped off Filine as she went in between the deepest parts.

After a while, Filine came out after the ritual. With a face whose joy cannot be held back, he rushes gently towards us. Uplifting her cheeks and sparkling her eyes like a young leaf, Filine opened her mouth to excitement.

"Dear Rosemaine, Me, the attributes of the wind have increased! It is with the blessing of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom! Pray to God!

Around being able to offer a joyful prayer to flow, the filine, almost sunflower in the temple, seems quite stained with the temple's customs. Unlike me, who accidentally laughed, everyone around me opened their eyes in amazement.

"Huh!? More attributes?!?

"How did you do it, Philine?

Lauderich takes a guttering seat at the report of more attributes and asks Philine to get himself on board.

"I don't know how I got your protection. But as Lady Rosemayne told me, even with the healing pills, we filled the magic team completely with magic, and we prayed."

The Aerenfest people were not the only ones excited by Filine's rare reports of more attributes. Gundorf, the director, brightens his eyes and comes close.

"Let me ask you more. Did you say" philline "? Are you a junior nobleman? So, is there one original aptitude? What the hell was that attribute?

Filine turns her eyes black and white on the flowing questioning attack, and Rhoderich makes a troubled face of how she wants to ask for a reference to the upcoming ritual. He was a gundorf who apparently noticed what was going on around him like that, but he seems to be the type who doesn't dare to read the air in front of interested subjects. I pointed to the deepest part of it.

"Oh, this. Boys students there. Get to the bottom of this."

That's what Gündorf tells me, and we head to the deepest part as Rhoderich looks back again and again as he listens. We were dropping off Lauderich, but Gundorf just resumed the question with a likable grin.

"So, what's the aptitude?

"It's dirt."

"Are you saying that in addition to the attributes of the soil, we have obtained a new attribute of wind this time? Hmm. It seems that gaining the protection of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom, meant that intellectual activity was suitable for your glasses. I'd like you to tell me what kind of activities you were doing."

Though intellectual activity flourished in Drevanhell, few seem to gain the protection of Mestionora, the goddess of wisdom. Like Dunkelferger, who is prone to fire family protection, Drevanhel wants to increase the number of people who get wind family protection.

"Dr. Gundorf, I know how you feel, but the question should be by the end of Rhoderich's ritual, right? When Roderich comes back, I'll go back to the dorm."

When I stabbed the nail in Gundorf, Filine, the target of the question-attack, exhaled as if she were just a little hoarse.

"Speaking of the intelligent activities I was doing, were you collecting stories for Master Rosemaine? Or was it that you were doing a copy? It could be that we were studying so hard that we could translate modern language, or maybe that we were helping Master Ferdinand with his affairs"

I will state one thing after another that Filine comes to mind. Think about it this way, Philine seemed to be working a lot harder.

I'm listening as Gundorf snorts. He seems to want to know what actions inspire him to gain protection, but that much intelligent action is commonplace in Drevanhel.

"It was even Drevanhell who collected and wrote stories for Master Rosemayne to buy away, and there must be some more research enthusiasts..."

There seems to be nothing in Philine's behavior that applies to this. Rhoderich came back when Gundorf tried to ask more questions.

"Dear Rosemaine, it's over"

That's what I said. Rhoderich smiled but his eyes were swimming and he was somewhat behaving suspiciously. Before we left, we were talking about the attributes of Filine that we cared about, but she doesn't try to come in and looks like she wants to leave at all.

"Rhoderich, did something happen at the ritual? You didn't fail, did you?

When you ask Rhoderich the question assuming the worst you can seem to think of, everyone's gaze is focused in unison. Rhoderich said, "No! The ritual was a success," he shook his head in haste. And look around at everyone who stays there with a puzzled face.

"Success. I did too much. … for some reason, we have gained the protection of all attributes."

"Everything? Isn't it amazing? Well done, Roderich."

I was surprised, too, but more surprised was Gundorf, who knew the common sense of the nobility.

"Did your blessing from your family make you all attributes!? I can't believe that's happening..."

"... Dr. Gundorf, isn't this unusual?

"With your blessing, I have never heard of all attributes."

Philine also has more attributes, so I don't think it would be all that surprising to see more Rhoderich, but it seems unlikely that it would be all attributes.

"Why? How can such a thing...?

Gundorf's gaze captured Rhoderich. Rhoderich returns the answer desperately as he twitches.

"I don't know why, myself. That, as we passed magic through the magic formations, the symbols of all the attributes glowed. As if I were originally all attributes..."

It seemed to be less than half the height of light compared to the wind and soil that were supposedly suitable in the baptismal ceremony, but all the attributes did glow, he says. By all attributes, they're not that high quality.

"Different at the baptism ceremony?

"Yes, I was told there was aptitude for wind and earth"

"Has anything changed dramatically since the baptism ceremony?

"... I don't know"

"There's got to be something. Otherwise, those who have only two aptitudes cannot be all attributes"

"It's strange that I get all the attributes. But I don't know why I got your protection."

Roderich leaned down in troubled pursuit of Gundorf, which overlapped more and more.

"Rhoderich, that's not how you speak the language that makes you despise yourself. I am rude to the gods who have blessed you for this. I know Dr. Gundorf will be excited about rare things too, but don't bother today because Rhoderich will only constrict you if you ask him that way"

I confronted Gundorf as Lord to protect Rhoderich.

"Dr. Gundorf, it is inherently a pleasure to have the blessing of all attributes, and it is nothing wrong. Aren't the words of celebration ahead of the inquiry?

"... Master Rosemayne is right"

As Gundorf exhales slowly and pulls out his shoulder strength, he gives his congratulatory words to Rhoderich and Filine for more attributes.

"It may be unusual, but just because magic has become easier to handle, doesn't make a big difference in life itself, does it? Your protection may be revoked if you are lazy and lazy. Change your mind that both Roderich and Filine have been recognized for their hard work so far, and return to the dorm to study seating tomorrow. Right?"

"Yes, Master Rosemaine"

Rhoderich nods with a slightly brighter face. Shortly after he stroked his chest down that it had come together beautifully, he finished cleaning up the back, and Hirschur glanced at me as he came to the auditorium and let his purple eyes shine.

"Dear Rosemaine, I have no trouble getting things so easily flushed through so rarely."

"Oh, Dr. Hillsur."

"Sure, it's a pleasure, but it's also a big deal. Don't talk to the surroundings because only two people who have fitness have gained all the attributes by blessing only confuses the surroundings."

If you look at the excitement of the students and Gundorf, who did not gain more protection than aptitude, it would certainly be the source of confusion that Rhoderich got all the attributes. All that's left here are Aerenfest students. We swear not to speak out.

"We'll also look into adding more attributes here. We'd like to talk more about it, so we won't be joining you for dinner tomorrow"

"Okay."

... I'm glad you have more attributes, then it's a hassle not to. Ha.

Even back in the dorm, don't tell me that Roderich's attributes have increased. The fact that Wilfried obtained protection from multiple dependants and the increased attributes of Filine made dinner time very exciting. Rhoderich eats with such a face that he is unable to participate in the conversation. I really thought I couldn't help but be proud.

All the common seating classes that took place the next day are also passing, with music in the afternoon. My music teacher is going to tell me about the new song this year, so I prepared it with Rosina. I intend to keep it warm if nothing is said.

"So this is the issue song of the year"

It looks like we're supposed to play issue songs and freedom songs again this year, and issue songs were announced. Seeing it, I exhale lightly.

... a song I did almost two years ago. I miss it.... so how hurdled was Master Ferdinand? Rosina won't even say, "It's enough level already," just let me practice more and more. My music teachers are both ghosts.

As I was reviewing the assignment songs, the senior aristocrats of Arlensbach began to play the songs I was used to hearing. It's braided and a little hard to understand, but I think it's a song I gave Ferdinand.

... Are you sure it's "A Love Song Dedicated to Gedurlich"?

It must have been popular within Arlensbach for Ferdinand to unveil himself in the winter social world. They must have asked me a lot to play a new song in a social setting. Unlike Aerensbach, who just arrived, I think Ferdinand became the wingman to play again and again without being able to say no underneath.

Clarifying his ears because he wanted to know how he arranged it, he laughed as Arlensbach's senior aristocrats won a little.

"This is a new Arlensbach song composed by Master Ferdinand. It's not Aerenfest's new song or Rosemayne's song."

... er, I'm the one who gave the Lord the melody, well, okay.

You won't have to get in the way of Ferdinand, who's struggling to make an ally by creating a face that bites and crushes bitters and pushes them under his smile.

"I really like the songs Ferdinand makes. If it's a new song, let me listen to it. You can't play unless you're from Arlensbach, can you?

"I'm still practicing too, but if you don't mind..."

Affirming that I was Arlensbach's song, she laid up a fesh peel, exhaling one as if in a ho. And he played it with a song.

... This isn't a love song, it's a homesick song.

It's a song that reminds me of Gedurlich, when the honeymoon called Winter passes and I'm supposed to be far away. If you sing this in Arlensbach, you'll think of it as a song that thinks of your fiancée who goes to the House of Lords and leaves. If I knew Ferdinand's parting words and promises, I'd know it was a homesick song, but it's usually not strange to misinterpret it as a love song.

... mislead me, do you mean?

I think of Ferdinand responding with a cool face to Dietrinde shouting "You tricked me" in his brain, "You got me wrong on your own". If that happens, Ferdinand's treatment will certainly worsen. I want Dietrinde to be in the mood as much as possible and to treat Ferdinand better.

... at least until the spouse's position is confirmed after the star knot ritual!

He's my son-in-law from the lower middle territories. Until marriage, Ferdinand's treatment is determined by Dietrinde and Georgine. I want to do everything I can from here to make it a little more comfortable.

It caught my eye that Wilfried leaned his neck wonderfully shortly after I was so determined. Looks like the rust part sounded familiar.

"It would be my uncle's song, but this is low..."

Beat Wilfried's shoulder about to say something extra, smile at Nicole and shut her up. "Don't say anything extra," the voice of my heart seemed to make sense. Kokukoku and Wilfried nodded several times.

I thank her for finishing the performance.

"I'm really glad you let me listen. It was a very nice song, please tell Master Ferdinand who composed it. Then, if Master Ferdinand makes another song, don't let him hear it again."

"Yes, sir."

In the meantime, I'll call everyone to remember that it was Ferdinand who composed the song. I feel like Miss Uggs in an election car.

... Dear Ferdinand, Regards, Ferdinand, Give Master Ferdinand a peaceful life! We sincerely ask for better treatment.

I really want to say that around to the Arlensbach nobility. Though perhaps he will be seen with a tremendous disgust by the person of the moment.

With that in mind, when she finished playing, she looked at me and gave me a slightly mean grin in her mouth.

"Dear Rosemaine, won't you be performing a new song this year? Without Ferdinand, the educator, we wouldn't be able to write new songs, would we? I'm looking forward to Rosemayne's new song."

If you're so provoked, you'll have to take it and stand. They say we have to show Aerenfest that we don't have a problem without Ferdinand.

... I also have to pass my first day. Dear Ferdinand, Seriously Demon King!

"I'm honored you're looking forward to it that way. Because of this, let me play you a free song."

When I laugh back at Nicole and hold my own fesh peel, I go to my teacher and ask him to grade. And I sat in a chair and set up a fesh peel.

Breathe slowly and play the pin and string. This year's issue song is once classified as a love song. It sounds like a song we need when we're old enough to start moving in search of an escort. It's a song that has absolutely nothing to do with me that my fiancée has already decided. It's a song I was practicing nearly two years ago, so I finished playing it without any particular problems.

And the song Liberty is a song dedicated to Szczeria, the goddess of wind. We want our loved ones to be protected. Ferdinand on his way to Arlensbach is, of course, a song for the children who are going to lose their families in Solemnity.

As I played and sang, I could see the magic sucking out of my ring. Magic becomes a blessing and the light begins to flood. It is the yellow light, the precious colour of Szczeria. Surprised by the same circumstances as at the time of the revelation, I tried to stop the flow of magic.

... Is that it? Won't stop?

Usually you should be able to stop it, but you can't stop the magic flow. Whatever I did, I kept playing because I couldn't miss my first day of passing while screaming in my heart.

Blessings keep flowing all the time. Until you finish playing.

The difference is that the magic never stops and the consuming magic is barely felt.

... Could this be the result of yesterday's ritual!?

I wanted to escape when I found my face lined up in sight where everyone was flashing. The music teacher looked at me blinking.

"Dear Rosemaine, what the hell is this..."

"... you know, it's the blessing of the goddess of wind. Looks like yesterday's ritual makes it a little easier for you to overflow your blessings. Ho ho."

I don't know if it's about laughing and deluding, but I laughed.

I got a pass for the music, but it's not good as it is. If we don't re-practice the treatment of magic again, there's going to be more blessings everywhere than ever before.

... I'm sorry I said demon king. What should I do in times like this, Master Ferdinand!?

My guardian was gone, and I was twilight on the way with my fesh peel in my arms.
