Ascendance of a Bookworm

It was me who managed to win the pass without overflowing the blessings in the dedication dance archery, but I couldn't help but be afraid of everyone's reaction after that. I immediately led Vilfleet and Charlotte back from the archery to the conference room, freaking out and asking. They exhaled softly with an indescribable face.

"... the blessing was suppressed, but because the whole demon stone was in the light. That, if you say Virgin, was a convincing sight. Right, brother?

"Mm-hmm. So much so that I realized I was dancing. It was very conspicuous."

How dare Wilfried stop dancing on the way too, distracted by the glowing demonic stones along the way. I know that everyone was surprised and pokanned by the glowing demonic stone, but I didn't even realize that my surroundings were stopping dancing.

... I was desperate not to overflow my blessings!

"Ho, how did the others react?

"Everyone in the small hall was talking, so I'm not sure how each reacts. After Rosemayne left, I got my mind back and auditioned."

"I'm just a Lordship candidate, so something that everyone is good at hiding their complexion and insides. You don't know how it's reported to the surroundings and Aub after going back to each dorm, unless it's a little more often."

Wilfried shook his head and Charlotte said so in a sigh. Few senior aristocrats saw it differently from their musical skills together, as only lord candidates perform the audition for the dedication dance. However, since everyone in the small hall is at the top of the territory, they don't know how it will affect them at the moment.

"Really?... and then this one was coming from Aerenfest. At dinner two days later, she said Aub would be here to see Dr. Hillsur. I've contacted Dr. Hillsur at Ordnants."

When I say so while offering a wooden plaque, Wilfried and Charlotte look at each other with an uneasy look.

"... well. Is Father here?"

"If we were to make an announcement about the blessings of the gods in a territorial rivalry, we would need some assumptions and results."

The complexion of the two was a little cloudy, I guess, because it would also be clear about the result of Solemn Qing.

And by the time my adoptive father arrived, everyone, including the children of the old Veronicans, had gone to the collection site, picked up a lot of medicinal herbs and materials, and recovered with blessings. Give it to your adoptive father and appeal to him that the dorm is spinning well. And I want you to prepare for the Lord's crusade in winter with demonic stones and medicinal herbs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the knights of the Transition have contacted me. Looks like we're about to start moving."

Two Charlottes, me and Charlotte, who had already finished seating, finished their afternoon practical skills early on in Richarda's words, looked up. It's a lot earlier than dinner.

"It's important to rub the story together first. Richarda, the conference room is ready…"

"Already in place"

Apparently, Richarda made the conference room ready while she coached a side service apprentice for her junior year who was already in the dorm after seating. I didn't notice because I was reading a book in a multi-purpose hall.

Heading between the transfer formations, three escort knights came out. And take a posture waiting for the Lord to appear in the Transfer Formation.

"Was your mother with you!?

Charlotte raised her voice of surprise. Aub wasn't the only one who came to the dorm in the transfer. My adoptive mother didn't think I was with her, and I was surprised. The adoptive mother looked at us with blue eyes in shades very similar to Charlotte's, then put her hands on her cheeks and sighed.

"Talking to Dr. Hillsur is important to Aerenfest. I have to be present."

"I was busy with something else, so this year it was Florencia who was looking at the report coming from the dorm."

That's what my adoptive father said and clapped his shoulders. Apparently, it was the adoptive mother, not the adoptive father, who was looking through the report from the House of Lords as he was bummed by the advance of Solemnity by Matthias' prophecy.

We'll head to the conference room where Richarda and the others were prepared to rub the conversation before our meeting with Hirschühl. Wilfried, who had his side servants ready for tea and finished his practical moves after a breath, joined him.

"Thank you for waiting"

"We're going to talk about this, Vilfried. She seems to be working hard and my mother would be delighted."

"I didn't think your mother was with you."

"Because we really all say the same thing," my adoptive mother laughed Couscous in Wilfried's words.

"There must have been a serious report the day we moved, right? So Master Zilvester, of course, made the Knights very busy. So I was supposed to read everyone's report, but I really fell prey to one report after another…"

In the third grade, from the first day of the lecture, all my associates gained God's blessing in large quantities. And because of it, my regulation of magic ceased to work, and the next day I scattered my blessings with Feshpeel in musical practice.

A request for a visit is received from Hillsur as soon as possible here. Normally, it is a request from the dormitory warden to complete "nothing notable", and there is even a consultation on publishing ways to increase the patronage of the gods.

The adoptive mother decided that she was in her own hands at this point, and she talked to her adoptive father, her knight captain, and her mother.

If a report came to me on Saturday that I had blessed the collection site and worked out measures, and I was stroking my chest down, I would be massively asked for an empty demon stone at lunch earlier in the week with an urgent request that "blessings may overflow even in the archery of the service dance as it is". My adoptive mother seemed very difficult.

"Besides, the Demon Stone would have returned as soon as it was filled with magic, wouldn't it? That afternoon, I contacted the Knights to gather the empty Demon Stones, while I made plans to meet with Dr. Hirschühl and let the clerks write wood tags."

If he was worried about what happened to the service dance while making various arrangements, he received a report saying, "Though I could have stopped the blessing from overflowing, I glowed a large number of demonic stones to get my attention."

... objectively, you don't know what's going on.

"So, it's about publishing how to gain the blessing of the gods, but what does Rosemaine think?

"I think part of it should be published. I guess the situation surrounding Aerenfest isn't very good, as Dr. Hirschühl, who basically pierces non-interference, has gone out of his way to advise. I heard that in the years of rapid ranking, there was a sudden increase in bad reviews."

The Aub and his wife attending the Lords' Conference, the civilians and sidelines picking up and collecting rumors around them, harden their expressions a little.

"Does the upper territory need something to apply to the lower territory? Since no territory is basically magical enough right now, wouldn't getting your protection make your magic consumption quite efficient and change your relationship with your surroundings a little bit if you could turn it around to your territory?

Of course, improving relations with the Temple will be important in order to use magic for the territory. I think if the aristocrats get into and out of the temple, even reluctantly for the ritual, the way the temple is going to change a little bit.

"We have heard that Flavelturk has gained more harvest as the Lordship Candidate now travels around the direct jurisdiction in imitation of Aerenfest. But there's not much of an atmosphere to say you're in and out of the temple, and there's not a whole lot of talk about it around, is there?

Although the story of Lüdiger, who was a Lordship candidate for Flavelturk, participating in the temple ritual and filling the land with magic was reported in the rapprochement, I don't think it has ever been taken up to a large extent as a topic such as the Tea Party. At least I haven't heard such a topic at the Tea Party.

"Right. I remember that even with all the men socializing, Master Rüdiger didn't give a word that he was going into and out of the temple to perform the ritual or that he was grateful to Aerenfest"

"I also had tea parties with the lower and middle territories, but you haven't heard from the nobles of Flaberturk that the Lordship Candidates have gone around with rituals. Have we talked a little bit about this cousin meeting held by Dietrinde?"

In the words of Wilfried and Charlotte, his adoptive father and adoptive mother also looked at each other.

"That's the same thing at the Lords' Conference. I was thanked by my sister Constanze at a dinner party gathered in the inner circle, but I did not say that Flaberturk was in and out of the temple in a place where all the lords gathered"

"You want to avoid any more suspicious eyes on the territory for flavel turks that are falling to the bottom of the middle territory in order, but if your brothers could have spoken over there, you would have pretty much dispelled the bad rumors directed at Aerenfest"

Mr. and Mrs. Aub of Aerenfest and Mr. and Mrs. Aub of Flaberturk are brothers and sisters. Just because we have a deep relationship, it affects each other more when it's bad and good. As Aerenfest has done so far, it's only natural if the lower realm puts safekeeping first to avoid being dragged down by the bad rumors around them.

"So I think you should disseminate information about how to get the gods' protection as a basis for overthrowing your adoptive father's bad reviews. Of course, I don't publish everything, but I think the unobstructed part is enough."

"I see. Well, try it"

"Aub Aerenfest, Dr. Hillsur is here"

By the time I had finished my rough meeting, Hillsur had arrived. I feel the atmosphere between my adoptive father and Hillsur across the street is both stiff.

"I'm out of time, Aub Aerenfest"

"I don't see much face to face in a territorial battle."

My adoptive mother smiled to soothe their hard expressions, and went between them.

"It was really helpful to have a meeting request from Dr. Hillsur. As a rule of the House of Lords, I can't get my hands on this one."

"That's right. Thanks.... then I wanted to apologize once and for all face-to-face. I did something my mother was sorry about. I feel sorry for myself for not knowing until Ferdinand taught me."

Hirshur exhaled gently and shook his head.

"I have already received my apology in writing. It's not easy for Aub to bow his head in front of someone else, Master Zilvester."

"Ferdinand has made his way to Arlensbach, and from now on he intends to pay the aid properly, but he replied that he does not need assistance from Aerenfest..."

Is it because you're not willing to forgive me? Hirshur smiled and shook his head with a nickel to his adoptive father that

"You will not receive assistance if you receive an apology. I will not reprocess myself if I remain silent, so money will continue to be fine. Because there's going to be a pile of problems that won't pay off very well with a little money. Even though we've never had any help before, it's hard to believe that we can move conveniently if we only help when we need it."

With that said Hirshur looked at me. My adoptive father also looks at me and says, um...

"What if after Rosemaine graduates?

"Right. Let's think about it then."

... lightly palmed back!?

"That's where you decide to be cool, doesn't it, Dr. Hillsur?!?

"Oh, my faith is all for research, Master Rosemayne."

I drop my shoulder strength where Hirshur, who sparkled his chirali and purple eyes, does not change at all. My adoptive father slapped me on the shoulder lightly, laughing cookly.

"Every year, every year, the problem is getting bigger, so you can understand what Rosemaine and Dr. Hirschühl have to say?

"Huh? Is it that much harder every year?

It's essential to what I report each year, but I didn't think it was going to be that much harder. Surrounded by my words became a flashing face, and Wilfried said, "Are you serious?" and shake my shoulder.

"Rosemaine, there's no parental call when it looks more problematic in freshman year, there's a call in the middle of sophomore year, and the third grade is a request to see you in a week. Don't you think the magnitude of the problem is accelerating?

To Wilfried's appeal, I was convinced once and for all that it might be so said. But there are some things I'd like to argue with.

"I don't want to cause any problems, either, and I think it's totally force majeure when it comes to this year. I gave you a lot of protection in the ritual because I worked as temple chief, because blessings popped up in the musical practice because I couldn't control magic at Starp, and because I stood out in the archery of the service dance as a result of my efforts to contain blessings.... If I insist, I think it's bad that someone changed their education curriculum on their own!

When I hold my fist and claim full strength, Hirshur holds the temple down just like Ferdinand did.

"I'm only inside here, but I don't criticize the king very honorably, Master Rosemayne"

"Huh? Does that mean it's the king's fault that I'm struggling with right now!?

As I looked back at Hillsur, Wilfried shook his head in a sigh.

"Rosemaine, shut your mouth."

"Ah, yes. Sorry, sir."

... The King's only criticism is in his heart. Stupid idiot of a king!

It's dinner when the apology to Hirschühl comes to a paragraph. And the detailed story takes place again after the meal. Since there are adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers, meal times are divided today between the Lords clan and other students.

"This is a request, not a criticism..."

I saw Hirshur after a firm foreboding.

"When you get a stamp like me and then there's a big change in magic flow and consumption magic, it's going to be very hard to control magic, so I think you should put your practical skills back before graduation, as you used to do, to get the protection of staps and gods"

"Students like Rosemaine rarely come out..."

With that said, Hirschühl increases the benefits of getting a stamp early. Without Stalp, we'd have to prepare a lot of magic equipment that turns into Stalp, and it would consume a lot of magic.

With Starp, the efficiency of magic consumption is increased and the scope of what can be done is greatly expanded, thus helping the territory even for minors. It seems that when nobility is reduced to gakun, it has a great advantage to get a stamp up front.

In particular, it seemed important at a time when blue clerics and witchcraft students from all over came into the House of Lords on an exceptional basis.

"But not from now on. The way magic is compressed has also changed in Aerenfest, and the number of things you get protection for by doing and praying will change. I think getting a Starp before you finish your growing season will get more students in need."

The most dangerous is Rhoderich. The influence of devotion to me has made me an all-attribute, and I am still a full-growth. Depending on the stretch of magic, it could become uncontrollable with the present Starp.

"If you stretch your magic by the end of your growing season and have more family members to gain protection, you may be able to get a better quality starp. Most importantly, it's only once per person that you get a Starp, but you have a lifetime of trouble with a Starp that doesn't suit you."

There is still content of the lectures that were given without a stamp now, and some teachers will know how to teach it, but when generations change, it becomes information that is easily lost. If I do, I won't be able to put it back next time, even if I want to.

"I have been taught to formulate by Master Ferdinand before I got a stamp, so I can formulate without a stamp. But Brother Wilfried and Charlotte, as well as even the civil servants Hartmoot, don't know how to make it without a stamp. Naturally, we will also gradually be forgotten how to make the magic equipment we need to formulate. I think this is a pretty big problem."

"... let's tell the royal family that there was such a word for once"

When we finish dinner with criticism in the name of demands, we will discuss it again in the conference room. The main agenda concerns the confirmation of the situation in which Aerenfest is located and the publication of ways of obtaining protection.

I have a story from Hirschühl about Aerenfest's assessment in the House of Lords and the centre, and I can say something quite harsh.

"It was a long and intense fight. The wounds were huge for both the winners and the losers. Ehrenfest is hardly any damage, so the surrounding eyes will be tough."

In Aerenfest's view, he's managed to do what he says in the center, and this one's tough, but he wants to complain, but the surrounding territories are tougher.

"We want you to make improving your relationship with your surroundings a top priority, but we also have some concerns."

"What?"

"It seemed that the central knighthood chief was making Master Ferdinand a lot of enemies"

Hirshur exhaled softly, worried. Everyone looks surprised that Ferdinand's personal name came up, not Aerenfest.

"Have you had any contact with Ferdinand and the Central Knights Commander?

To the word of my adoptive father, I spoke. My adoptive father doesn't know that Ferdinand is the fruit of Adalziza, and that the Central Knights Commander knows that. Probably doesn't even know Hirschühl. I shook my head slowly.

"I don't know why. Others who come to me to explore Aerenfest ask questions about the expansion of the fashion and trading framework, the secrets of improving grades, and whether the rumors are true or not, but only the Knights Commander asks questions about Master Ferdinand and Master Rosemayne by name. I think you should be careful."

I remember the Knights Commander I met in the library. You would be the one who told Ferdinand to be the fruit of Adalziza and go to Arlensbach. And now I'm sending my First Lady to the library of the House of Lords as my senior secretary to get my information.

"Because the surroundings are full of enemies, make sure you publish how to get the protection of the gods and help them socialize at all. This is also an instruction from Prince Anastasius."

Sounds like Aerenfest's socialization belongs to the lower realm and doesn't fit in with the rank it is now at the top. They want to behave like superior territories.

"It's something that Aerenfest does on its own when it comes to prayer words when you can magic into temple rituals and foundation magic equipment. You deserve what Rosemayne, the temple chief, has to do with your research, and if you present it well, you can raise Aerenfest's ratings in a good way. However, if it's just the Aerenfest announcement right now, it's also possible that you won't gain credibility. Since a lot of people get Angleaf protection in Dunkelferger, you can talk to Rufen first, so you can make it a joint study with Dunkelferger."

Hirschühl said the credibility of the study itself would be enhanced if part of it were to be a joint study with Dunkelferger.

"Thank you for all your advice, Dr. Hillsur"

"... if you do poorly, it can also deprive Dunkelferger of the research itself. I don't doubt it at all. You're not a student, you're an Aub. It does not swallow my word, which is the central nobility."

My adoptive father laughs bitterly at Hillsur's teacher-like manner.

"What are you gonna do if I don't trust the two of you, my family, who keep sheltering Ferdinand and now keep sheltering Rosemaine?

Hearing his adoptive father's words in his face like he was taken aback, Hirshul pulled out his shoulder and laughed small.

"That's sweet to say...... Above all, it turns out that your essence hasn't changed since you graduated. Dear Florencia, Regards, Gilvester, Because I've always been one of those people who didn't really clap."

My adoptive father started talking about this when I was a student. My adoptive father said, "Don't stop!" and stopped in desperate shape. No matter what you look at it from anywhere, you watch Wilfried and Charlotte hold their mouths and laugh at the two that have become the atmosphere of teachers and godchildren.

"Dr. Hillsur, Lady Zilvester is now running to the end of the children who do things without any more clapping. A little bit of your teachers' hard work will stain you."

"Florencia......"

"Well!"

After Hirshur laughed with pleasure, "You're still weak for Master Florencia," he squeezed his expression softly.

"The value of Lord Rosemaine was demonstrated in the visible form of other lord candidates, such as the fact that he enjoyed more protection than Lord Wilfried in the ritual of patronage and the amount of magic that facilitated the blessing. Master Wilfried is also more likely to be targeted. Without them, the engagement will be dissolved even if you don't like it."

Talk flies where you didn't expect it, and everyone breathes and sees Vilfleet. Taking his gaze, Wilfried smiled and shook his neck to the side.

"I have no problem. My uncle took note of the fact that such a thing could happen. Most importantly, I could not have been here as a Lordship candidate without Rosemaine. I can protect myself."

Rosemayne will be fine because she's also gotten a lot of amulets from her uncle, Hirshur and her adoptive mother held her head in Wilfried, who smiled out.

"Wilfried, that's the first time I've been able to protect my fiancée, Rosemaine, on my own."

Exactly, he nodded, and Hirshur turned his gaze to his adoptive father.

"It is the Lord's role to protect the treasure of his own territory. I was hoping for your arm, Master Zilvester."
