Ascendance of a Bookworm

Although Aerenfest was able to lend books to everyone because they could be printed, not everyone else can just take books out of the territory. I decided on the order of how to turn it around and borrowed the book. What came to me was a book that Solange brought me from a closed library.

"Master Rosemaine has a lot of magic, right? This is an old book that I moved to a closed library for preservation, but it has many rare magic formations on it. They say it's a book written by a teacher who studied Schwartz and the others a long time ago. Aren't you going to study?

"I'm afraid so."

If you copy this and study it with Ferdinand and Hirschühl, you might be able to make Schwartz and the others to put in my library. I want to start reading right away, but I can't open a book here all of a sudden. Because books are exchanged between the sides they are bringing and the civilian apprenticeships, not things that come at my disposal.

"Um, Rosemaine"

"What is it, Prince Hildebrandt?

Hildebrandt, who had spoken out in a nasty manner, shifted his gaze to the book in Artur's hands.

"Rosemaine also likes to read difficult books, doesn't she?

"Yep. I love it."

"I go to the House of Lords. It takes a lot of time to read such a difficult book before school, so I hope Rosemaine reads it first."

Hildebrandt says so and lends me a book I plan to borrow. I desperately suppressed my desire to jump and looked up at Artur.

"Are you sure? The... I borrow the Prince's book..."

"Prince Hildebrandt likes Aerenfest's book and has read it over and over again, so you should give this one to Master Rosemaine, who enjoys and can read it"

He asked me to lend him another new book from Aerenfest, and I nodded without one or two.

Thank you, Prince Hildebrandt.

"I'm glad Rosemaine is happy"

... Prince Hildebrandt, what a good boy!

Thus I was able to borrow the books of the Royal Palace Library, which I borrowed from Prince Anastasius as a reward to be the keeper of the keys, and the books of Solange and of Altancia, which Hildebrandt was supposed to borrow. Excellent achievement.

The book-loving tea party, which I had dressed up for being hosted by the royal family, ended with more fun than I expected.

"It was a lot of fun, not really. It's great to have been able to finish the tea party without losing consciousness, but the princess would have plenty to report to Aub Aerenfest before reading the book she borrowed, wouldn't she?

"... right"

I went back to the dorm and tried to reach for the book quickly and Richarda scolded me. At any rate, I just want to remember that it was fun, but that's not how it works.

"I'll write it in the hidden room"

And when I stood up in a sigh, I turned to the concealed chamber. Write a letter to Ferdinand along with the report. The important thing would be that the First Prince and Lady Adolphine were asked to head the temple in a star knot ceremony, and that the contents of the librarian's activities were changed to custodians of the keys.

I wrote what I thought was important with ink that disappeared into a letter for Ferdinand. Finally, he said, "The book in the locked library is supposed to be read after the scribe checks if it's okay to read it. Ugh," he adds.

And while I was drying the ink, I also wrote up a report to Aerenfest. The content is the same. "Sell your grace to the royal family successfully because you are answering with Aub's permission," only as different as I added at the end.

By that time, the ink on the letter I wrote earlier is dry, so I write irresistible content in regular ink, such as sweets lined up at the tea party from above and the topic of books borrowed. After a while of thinking, I avoided the topic of the book I lent.

"... there's no element that makes you angry, is there? Yeah."

When I reviewed the letter again and sealed it, I left the stash room with the letter and the report.

The next day after the tea party for book lovers, Dunkelferger received an appointment for the tea party. Apparently, Aub gave me permission for joint research. Brunhilde came home with an invitation.

"He wants to do it in the morning in two days. Then, Mr. Lestiraut will join us, so we would appreciate it if Mr. Wilfried could join us."

Lestiraut is decided to be present to talk about delivering hair decorations and collaborative research, but he says he's uncomfortable on his own. I turn my gaze to Wilfried, who was listening with me in the multi-purpose hall.

"Brother Wilfried doesn't have lectures either, does he? What will you do?

"I know exactly how uncomfortable it is to have only one man at a tea party full of women. Besides, I have to work with joint research. Let's accompany you."

When I was a freshman, Charlotte wasn't there, and instead of me returning to the service, Wilfried had attended a tea party full of women by herself. If you think about how uncomfortable it was then, they'll be sympathetic to Restylaut.

"Then, when Master Hannelore talked about how it was at the book lover's tea party, it seemed that the knight of Dunkelferger was very interested in the Ditter story. I was asked if you could lend it to me."

There's nothing wrong with it because I was originally going to show it to Dunkelferger first. I nod and accept.

Thus until the tea party with Dunkelferger, the two Brunhildes and Lieselators spent time talking about the side of Vilfleet and the procedures and detailed signals at the confectionery and tea party they bring, and I spent time taking the civilian apprentices who were to collaborate with Drevanhel to the lab in Gündorf to introduce them, or handing Rymnt the following letter at the lab in Hirschühl to remind him to reply.

"Thank you for inviting me, I know."

Me and Wilfried took our side to Dunkelferger's Tea Party Room. We talk about collaborative research, so there are a few civilians. Muriella is with me, who has not yet been able to dedicate her name.

"Dear Wilfried, Dear Rosemayne. I've been waiting for you. This way, please."

Hannelore and Lestiraut greet us, and we exchange long greetings and sit in the recommended seats. I just saw Clarissa from my seat. When I turn my gaze to Rhoderich and nod gently, Rhoderich gives Haltmut's letter.

... This is all the days it takes in the House of Lords. I guess it will be much further before Master Ferdinand's reply returns.

"So shall I show you the hair decorations I was ordering quickly?

Lestiraut coughed lightly. Why does it look frustrating? Leaning his neck inside, Hannelore exhales gently.

"Brother, I know you can't wait, but why not after the tea party starts"

I almost laughed a little when I found out that Hannelore's remarkable and frustrating attitude towards Lestiraut was just twitching. You can't laugh, so put your strength into your stomach and I will speak to Brunhilde.

"Bring me some hair decorations."

If Brunhilde immediately passes a box with hair decorations to Restylaut's side service, the side service passes it to Restylaut after checking the box and contents. No matter how troublesome and troublesome it may seem, we need that procedure. I already know that there is a danger of poisoning.

I'm free until the confirmation is over, so I was looking at the restylaut that seems to be softening. I don't know if it's inside me that that face that looks frustrating and grumpy is just twitching. Lestiraut can also make an aristocratic laugh when he says hello. That's why the soot looks so grumpy.

Restylaut finally began to test the hair decorations he had received with a stern face with wrinkles carved between his eyebrows.

In an order of flowers to match the precious colors of autumn, the more red the center and yellow the more towards the edge, the more adorned with small flowers and leaves like silver wooden rhinoceros surrounded by colorful round fruits that seem to be the fruits of autumn.

Would that suit Lestiraut's glasses, which I believe are made according to the instructed illustrations, but are likely to be profound in art? Still observing, Lestiraut, who was quantifying with a rugged face, narrowed her red eyes only satisfactorily for a moment and laughed.

"Hum. Fair enough."

"Your brother has nothing to complain about, Master Rosemayne."

Even if I didn't listen to Hannelore, I knew that I would have been satisfied if I had seen Lestiraut's face.

"The craftsman tells me that Master Restylaut learned very rarely about the flowers he was instructed to use and things that are actually not in Aerenfest. Master Restylaut has a wonderful taste."

"Oh, you have better craftsmen than I expected to be able to reproduce flowers and fruits I've never seen before."

"I like the craftsman, so why don't you come over here?" he said, as I can see from the red eye I'm going to look at this one. I laughed nicely.

"I'm afraid so. I'm a proud dedicated craftsman. I leave all my hair decorations to that person."

... No matter how much you want it, I won't give it to you because Touri is mine exclusively.

I know they thought I was "busy" because I was stared at with the usual eyes, but I can't give away anything I can't. With a smile on my face I tried to shed some light on the subject.

"Looks like you were satisfied with the hair decoration, so give me a book on Dunkelferger's history..."

"Wait a minute, Rosemaine. It gets longer when you start talking about books. You should talk about important collaborative research first."

I was just thinking about moving on to the topic of the book, and it took a stop. Turning his gaze to Wilfried, he almost put the cup down. Apparently, Hannelore recommended me while I was interacting with Restylaut. Wilfried and Hannelore have already enjoyed their tea together.

"Brother Wilfried, we're talking about a book on Dunkelferger's history, so this is also an important story."

"I know that, but book stories are easily derailed. Maybe later."

Without going back to Wilfried, who is uttering words based on his previous experience, I decide to start talking about collaborative research. I want tea and sweets before that. Suggested by Hannelore, I put Dunkelferger's treat in my mouth. It's a garrett wrapped in lowle and cream dipped in alcohol. I can't wait to taste the rustic.

"Mr. Rosemayne said that at the tea party before, right? He wants to eat Rowle like this."

It seems Hannelore made good use of the information that he had zeroed even though he could make such a treat if he had Rowle.

"I couldn't immediately prepare a garret without buckwheat flour, so I left the garret intact, which is my current favorite."

"... was it true that they preferred such treats"

It wouldn't be the kind of treat to be served to the House of Lords' Tea Party, Lestiraut disagreed, he said. That's what Hannelore pushed off, "I'm just preparing Rosemayne's favorite treat," he said.

"I like Dunkelferger's tea party, full of care from Hannelore."

"Mm-hmm. I prefer Dunkelferger's sweets to the central sweets that are hardened with sugar, too"

"I'm glad you're happy, Dear Rosemayne, Dear Wilfried"

When Hannelore laughed delightfully at Nicole, Lestiraut snorted with hun as he said "Dunkelferger's stuff is good material".

"So, how are we going to proceed with the joint research? Dunkelferger's knight apprenticeship does get Angleaf protection a lot, but not everyone did."

"I already have a hypothesis, so I'd like to hear from Dunkelferger and the Knight Apprenticeships to prove it. Well, is there a difference between, for example, those who did the ritual of obtaining protection after praying to God over and over again in practice because they are not good at seating, and those who were good at seating and immediately obtaining protection? Is there a difference between a senior nobleman and a lower nobleman less than magical, who instills magic that only fills the entire magic formation during the ritual? I'd like to ask what rituals are performed in Dunkelferger, how often, etc."

Lestiraut called his own civilian to my word, and received something.

"My father has given me permission when it comes to showing me the ritual before and after Ditter. However, two conditions are attached. They say one thing is to be serious about ditters."

"Yes?"

I blinked my eyes because I could not understand what was said.

"We won't need rituals even if we don't ditter. There is no better option than not to fight Ditter than to pray to God in the hope of Ditter's victory"

"The ritual performed by Dunkelferger's Lordship Candidate is after the game, so you can't serve your magic without doing anything."

He sees it as caring about this one, but Hannelore also thinks ditters are a must for rituals.

... It's unexpected! I can't believe Ditter is a must for collaborative research!

At the point of collaborative research with Dunkelferger, I might be sweeter than I could have predicted, but I didn't think Ditter was a must for research.

"... here's the joint study I offered. I'm gonna have to take it."

I found the faces of Dunkelferger's knight apprentices in the tea party room brightened to the words of Wilfried, which made me want to drip with cackles.

"Apart from the lectures of the knight apprentices, Ditter cannot compete without some completion of the lectures on civilian apprenticeships involved in collaborative research. You may want to ask questions and proceed with your research for a while."

"Dr. Rufen is very uptight about this joint study. If you get in touch with us at Ordnants, they'll come into the cavalry and answer questions."

To the two words I nodded cocklessly, "What is the other condition?" I ask. I don't think there are any more troublesome conditions than ditters. I am in the mood for anything else to come.

"Just so I can show you the ritual," he said after Lestiraut coughed once.

"Is it my ritual?

"Ah. If you were in the temple and performing the ritual gave you protection, would you be performing the ritual as well? Put into the study what rituals the Virgin of Aerenfest, with the protection of so many gods, actually perform the rituals in front of me and Hannelore to show them"

It seems that more than publishing Dunkelferger's historic rituals, show Aerenfest rituals as well.

"There are many rituals to be performed in the temple. Baptisms, mitzvahs, star knot rituals, etc. What rituals are good? When it's a milestone ritual, you'll need someone, otherwise it'll be a ritual of praying for abundance for the countryside. It's not for the House of Lords."

"... rural? No, it doesn't have to be that big of a deal. If only they knew how to pray to God."

… a ritual that can be performed in the House of Lords. Well done, and the only thing I can come up with is the regeneration of the collection area, but it's not exactly like showing it, is it? Hmm, that's pretty hard.

"I'll think about what ritual I'm going to show you."

"Oh. I want you to show me something a little bit like a Virgin."

"Brother."

Starred by Hannelore, Lestirault turns to him, "Don't say anything extra".

"By the way, in this joint study, I'd also like to ask you to help me with the civilian apprenticeship on Dunkelferger's side, but may I nominate Clarissa as one of them?

I can see Clarissa nodding, but I saw it glimpsely, and Lesti Laut said, "Why?" I ask.

"The biggest reason I'm a fiancée of my side, Haltmoot, is that I have a deep connection to Aerenfest. And because I can be sure that you will take your research seriously to make a better impression of the temple.... because Haltmoot is now the chief cleric"

"Become!? So you're saying you walked into the temple? What did the man do!?

After all, entering the temple seems to be a hell of a stain for the nobility. No way. "What did you do!?" I didn't think they'd say it best.

"Hartmoot didn't do it, it's because Master Ferdinand's gone."

In my words Lestiraut distorts his face when he says he doesn't know what it means. I exhaled lightly.

"Until now, my guardian, Lord Ferdinand, has supported me as chief priest of the temple in practical terms. But as you know, Master Ferdinand is going to join his son-in-law in Arlensbach. With the Chief Cleric gone, the faithful proximity, Haltmoot, was to enter the temple as the new Chief Cleric."

Both Restylaut and the students around him groaned in my explanation, "Are you sure you can get into the temple as a clergyman even though there is no downfall whatsoever in Aerenfest?"

"I don't know what it's like to be a temple in a large territory like Dunkelferger, but shamefully, the temple in Aerenfest has a very small number of blue clerics."

That's what Wilfried said as he watched Restylaut.

"Because there are not enough people to fill the Little Holy Grail, lord candidates like the magical Rosemaine and uncle are taking up their positions as temple chiefs and clergy chiefs and performing rituals. I also help Charlotte at prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals around the direct jurisdiction."

The temple is where the Lordship Candidates come in and out, and when I told them, Lestiraut muttered, "Really?"

"I hope that if the study succeeds that it will be easier to gain protection from the gods due to the frequency, content, seriousness, etc. of praying seriously, the way we view the temple will also change slightly. So if you're not going to dissolve your engagement with Haltmoot who entered the temple, Clarissa would love to help."

"What do we do, Clarissa? If you say you're the kind of man who walks into a temple with a fiancée from another realm, it's easy to dissolve the engagement."

Clarissa instantly shook her head to the side in Restylaut's words. The three braids on the back rock together.

"I will not despise, even if I may boast of a haltmoot templed without straying for the Lord. If I were in Aerenfest, I would have fought Haltmoot and the Cleric Seat trying to do the same."

I blinked my eyes several times, feeling that the smile of Clarissa, who laughed at Nicole, was somewhat like Haltmut's.

"Dear Rosemaine, please don't let me do any collaborative research."

I let my blue eyes shine and Clarissa held a tight fist. The hand holds a letter from Haltmoot, which is shaky.

"I don't need any apologies like this. Whatever my kinsman tells me, I will push my way and marry Aerenfest.... and it is in this eye that the Virgin of Aerenfest, who performs divinity!

"Yes?"

... I think Clarissa is saying something very Haltmoot, is that what I heard wrong?

Seeing Pocan and Clarissa, I turn my gaze to all of Dunkelferger. No one is showing surprise that this is Clarissa's normal appearance. Restylaut was watching Clarissa with the eyes that looked at the extremely annoying thing.

"Hold on tight Clarissa's reins at Aerenfest. You can't take care of me here."

"Please wait. Clarissa is a dunkelferger child right!?

Don't make such forsaken remarks, when I said, Clarissa smiled embarrassingly as if she had been illuminated for some reason.

"I still belong to Dunkelferger, but my heart is completely under Master Rosemaine"

Clarissa's expression, wrapped in her cheeks with both hands, is like a girl who confessed her love, but doesn't know how to react.

I turn my gaze to Brunhilde and Leonore for help. "Is it like Haltmoot is going to be two people," Brunhilde murmured with a makeover laugh.
