Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Rosemaine, what does it mean to leave the report to everyone?

"Almost everyone in the dorm was at the training ground today, and the interview was with Brother Wilfried and the civilian apprentices at Charlotte, so what you're reporting won't be a problem, will it? I want to prepare for tomorrow."

Though there are many who make today's report, tomorrow's tally will be done by my side. I have to prepare tables and chairs because I was to be in the tea party room abruptly, and even though it's not a tea party, Hannelore, the Lordship candidate, is coming, so I think we need some hospitality.

"As a report on my joint research with Dunkelferger, please do not contact my adoptive father that my report will be sent at a later date. We'll take care of the rush report."

I entrust the side servants with setting up the Tea Party Room, reconfirming the method of aggregation with the Civilian Apprentice and Leonore and Eudit.

"... Oh, I can't believe my sister is doing civilian work...!?

"Theodore, I'm too upset. I also went to the temple to escort you, so not as much as Filine, but I can do a little."

Rude, and swollen, Eudit was sneaking up on Filine and Lauderich to submit documents saying "Master Ferdinand is too scared," but I stopped exposing him to Theodore in front of Eudit's pride as his sister.

... Theodore sees Eudit with respect.

"Master Rosemaine's escort knight will be engaged in paperwork at the temple. Matthias and Laurenz won't want to start in the spring, so watch the flow this time as you escort them."

"Even though I didn't like civilian work and became a knight apprentice," blued Laurenz in Leonore's words. In a way, Laurenz seems very comfortable with Angelica. Matthias doesn't even seem so bad, he's sneering flatly.

"Please discuss the aggregation method often in the course of today. The princess has to deal with Hannelore here."

"But it's a collaborative study that I do primarily, right?

I was also meant to be involved in the tally because I am a civilian apprentice, but was rejected by Richarda. He can't let Hannelore, a Lordship candidate, do his clerical work, and he can't leave it to the side service to talk to me, even though I'm a Lordship candidate in the same way.

"Doesn't Lady Rosemaine have to ask Lady Hannelore more about the last ritual of the day? Unlike the song that even the Knight Apprenticeships can teach you, the last ritual seems to be specific to Dunkelferger."

He couldn't really hear Leonore about what kind of celebration Hannelore was giving the wand at the center of the arena, partly because it was an old word.

"Unlike Master Rosemayne, Hannelore grew up in a temple, and even though the Bible is not familiar, it's wonderful that all that slurred and old verbal celebration can be uttered."

As I snorted deeply into Leonore's compliments, Rezelator offered me a piece of paper written about the topic of tomorrow with a laugh with Couscous.

"It's that thick, old history book. I'm sure Dunkelferger has a lot of old books. Why don't you ask around, too? Friends who love books, I'm sure they'll play their stories."

"That's nice, Lieselator"

I nodded cocklessly when I was told to leave the tally work to the civil servants to gather information that I could not do without being a Lordship candidate.

The tea party room was ready by the time two and a half bells rang.

I have room for the civilians to do their work, and I have prepared a separate table for Hannelore and I to talk to. To make it easy to pinch, the sweets have cookies ready, and the side servants are ready to make tea.

When the bell sounded and the visitor was informed, I turned to the door to welcome him. Dunkelferger students come in through the door Greater Tier opened for me. Of course, the lead is Hannelore.

"Good day, Master Rosemaine. Thank you for taking the time to get the place ready today."

"Good day, Master Hannelore. This is something that would be helpful if you could help the Dunkelfergers. Thank you for your time."

On the guidance of Brunhilde, Hannelore and her side head to the table where the tea is prepared, and on the guidance of Gretia, the civilian apprentices involved in the joint research head to the desk where the civilians are gathered.

"Dear Rosemayne, I have kept this one from Master Clarissa. He wrote to Master Hartmoot about yesterday's ritual."

Greater, who was leading the civilians to their seats, has given them a thick letter.

"Please check inside and send to Aerenfest"

"Yes, sir."

It doesn't have to be right now, but it would be good enough to put Greater, who is nervous about the students in the upper realm, Dunkelferger, to use with just a little breath. When I told him to back off, Gretia smiled slightly at his mouth.

"Now I will explain how to aggregate"

Filine's explanatory voice sounds, and I see everyone listening seriously. I take a sip of the tea that Brunhilde has brewed me, and stare at the work of the civilian apprentices as I take a sip of cookies to show them.

Trained by Ferdinand at the Temple, Filine rolls her answers faster than Dunkelferger's civilian apprenticeship. Interesting how Clarissa is surprised at the speed of Filine.

"Filine's a lot faster, isn't she?"

"I don't have any teeth at all on Haltmoot, but I've become a little better at paperwork because of the long period of time I've been trained by Master Ferdinand"

When Phylline laughed, Clarissa began to work on the tally with a serious look on her face, after looking a little remorseful, "I can't lose any more than I can be Master Rosemayne's civilian, either" she said. He may have inspired his pride as a senior civilian in the upper realm.

"If Clarissa could focus on her work in this way, maybe I didn't have to come here."

Hannelore said that and smiled bitterly. When there's new information about me, or an opportunity to look at each other like a collaborative study, they're excited and very untouchable.

"... Sometimes I think it might be an act because that excitement is so bad this year"

"Huh?"

"Emphasizing that you are under Lord Rosemayne's command so that you can not be separated from your fiancée who entered the temple, and that you are creating a situation beyond the reach of others,"

I'm sure this is Clarissa's strong love, and the side servings that stood behind Hannelore, who seemed a little grumpy, sighed lightly.

"Princess Hannelore, I don't think Clarissa thinks that much."

... Yeah, I think so too. Clarissa is haltmoot based. Because I haven't chosen someone to marry in a romantic relationship.

"Cordura always says this, but what does Master Rosemaine think? I don't think I can write a letter to my fiancée without love."

From there we talked about the love story of the House of Lords. Apparently there was a story of a clerk who wrote while falling asleep not to miss the opportunity to be able to give a letter directly to his fiancée's Lord so that the letter would surely be in her fiancée's hands.

"I really want Clarissa's love to succeed."

...... Dear Hannelore, who is purely supportive of the two of us, is adorable.

When I first met Clarissa, I know the one who decided to run for my side view and proposed with a pushdown weapon, so I don't think Haltmoot and Clarissa are such a good combination, but I don't think they have that much pure romance.

Hannelore changed the subject after a slow cup of tea when the side serving, known as Cordura, split the treat on the plate and brewed a tea substitute.

"Nevertheless, Aerenfest's civilian apprenticeship is very good. I will not take you to the civilian apprenticeship of Dunkelferger."

"Thank you for the compliment, I know."

Filine is not the only one. Nor has Rhoderich or Leonore lost. Muriella and Eudit, unfamiliar with paperwork, seem to be bringing a little, but a good battle with Dunkelferger's civilian apprentices who are confused by the unfamiliar way of tallying.

"Um, Master Rosemayne's escort knights seem to be crossing among the civilians..."

I laughed and nodded at the bewildered words of Hannelore, who apparently remembered the faces of Leonore and Eudit, who were female knights and often accompanied to tea parties.

"Yep. The Temple also does paperwork for escort knights, so they get help when they need numbers like this. Clarissa said she's a civilian apprentice who can also work as an escort, so I was wondering if you could think of something similar."

"It's more like a civilian than Wu...... Do you mean knights over sentences?

Hannelore groans indissolubly. Clarissa also said there are a lot of knight hopefuls, and even if there are more civilians than martial arts in Dunkelferger, there may not be more knights than sentences. Though my proximity lies in an environment where a knight over sentence is mass-produced, headed by Darmuel.

"I, Mr. Hannelore, would like to ask you more about yesterday's ritual."

"What would that be?

"Master Hannelore said that the cane used in the ritual belonged to Fairfulemaire, the goddess of the sea, but I don't know much about Fairfulemaire's artifacts. Not even in the temple."

"That's just what they say among us, and we don't know anything for sure. You see Aub serve every ritual, you're taught, and the Lordship Candidate remembers. I don't know if it's really a Fairfulemare god tool, because the spell that changes the Starp belongs to the wand too"

That's what Hannelore said, smiling like trouble. I don't seem to know, like Lesti Laut said either.

"Does that mean we were changing things in Dunkelferger without knowing it was a god's fixture? There was a sound of waves when Lady Hannelore was shaking, so I'm pretty sure it was the Fairful-Maire goddess of the sea."

"The sound of the waves and Master Rosemaine said, but I'm not sure what it's like. Dunkelferger doesn't have a sea, so it's not necessarily the ritual of the goddess of the sea."

It seems to me that that sound, which sounded like a wave, was also just surprising to Hannelore when suddenly in the middle of the ritual he began to hear strange noises due to ear damage.

"Dear Hannelore, may I tell you the congratulations you speak during the ritual? Because if you know the words of prayer, you know which gods you are praying to."

"Yep."

I was convinced with the congratulations Hannelore speaks of.

"It's still like a ritual of magical devotion to the goddess of the sea. There was a ritual in the library that required three keys."

"Really?

"Yep. The white tablet material said it was a ritual to pay for the heat. But given what happened yesterday, serving magic helps quell the spot, doesn't it? Is it a ritual that cools the heat?

If we can perform that ritual, stealing Leedsfalke eggs in the Mountains of Roenberg might keep us from erupting the volcano. Next to me thinking about that, Hannelore is also whining, "You want to go into the library again and check the material," he said. It seems very important to Hannelore whether it is just to extinguish the blessings or even to serve the magic that can cool off the excitement around her.

"Nevertheless, some deities Master Rosemaine doesn't know about. I thought you knew everything about the gods because you can discern rituals with congratulations."

"The only thing I know about it is that it's in the Bible. The Supreme God and the Great God of the Five Pillars worshipped in the Temple...... and then, as a personally thoughtful God, is it Mestionora in the library? That being said, all I know is that I gave the first king the gluthris height."

Though there are many gods of their families, each of them has no particular artifact or form on it. The center of the Bible is the Supreme God and the Great God of the Five Pillars.

"Well, maybe this time you'll find out something new when you read the book I brought from Dunkelferger for my book lover's tea party"

Hannelore smiled happily and said so.

"What I brought you this time is an old book in Dunkelferger, but it's a book with zero stories of the gods that couldn't be put in the Bible. There is also the story of Mestionora, although it may have been added on its own in future generations. I think you'll enjoy it if you're familiar with the gods, Master Rosemaine."

"I'm very excited about that."

In order to borrow a new book, I have to read the book I'm borrowing right now. I'm getting motivated.

"Dear Rosemaine, we're done tallying"

I take a quick look at the aggregate results that Filine gave me. The knight apprenticeship that has gained protection is overwhelmingly Dunkelferger, and most knights seem to have gained battle-based protection.

"Every year, a few people just don't get it, do they? You can also be convinced that Dunkelferger's treatment is framed separately among the teachers in the ritual of obtaining your protection."

Even if there are people in Dunkelferger who have obtained the protection of more than one family member or the protection of an unfit attribute, that is not much discussed. That's why it came to my attention this time when someone got more than one protection from Aerenfest, but I think the other realms should look into Dunkelferger more.

...... Maybe the only thing that comes out of the investigation is Ditter.

Ditters are also required for collaborative research. Maybe other collars don't dare approach to avoid being able to blow up a ditter battle.

"The Cavalier apprentice seems to have a lot of protection from his family, but what about the civilian and sideline service?

When I groaned in a solitary mood, a reply came from Hannelore.

"… I know that there are more civilians and other servants than Wu."

This also wants to know the situation within Dunkelferger. How much of the civilian and sideline service has gained the protection of the battle system?

"You want to do the same interview with Dunkelferger's clerks and sidekicks. Clarissa, will you do the same interview with non-Knight Apprentice people and submit it here?

"Yes, sir."

Clarissa is delighted that she was entrusted with the job, so she asks Lauderich to bring the paper for the interview and give it to Clarissa.

"When you look at the aggregate results this way, the knight apprentices in other realms really rarely get protection. Seventy percent of them are Dunkelfergers."

No matter how many cavalier apprenticeships there are in the large territories, there are about three from other territories, so there is a lot of difference.

By the way, not a single person in Aerenfest has the protection of the battle system. This is the result of the fact that the knight apprentices, who did not know what it meant to learn to sing and dance, did not take it too seriously and that I did not pray to the gods myself to bless them.

... It seems to have turned out to spoil because it would easily bless you. Reflection, reflection.

I felt strongly when I saw Dunkelferger's tally results that I had to pray more for the knight apprentices so they could get their own protection. I want you to apprentice Filine, who has obtained protection from family members other than your own.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. Although I don't seem to have given my magic service in previous rituals... can I get your protection even if I haven't given my magic?

Blessings came down in large numbers because of the massive amount of magic they gave with my Rydenshaft spears, but in Dunkelferger he said that the blessings had never been poured down in previous rituals and that no magical service had been given.

"That ritual itself is a massive prayer, and it uses a spear that deforms the starp, so maybe it's a little bit of a offering. Because all the blessings you receive are gods in line for celebration."

Even if there is no visible blessing, some magic may have been served.

"Besides, you perform rituals before and after a game, so maybe the more times you can be in a Ditter game, the easier it is to get your protection. The Cavalier Apprenticeships, who have received protection from multiple battle family members, seem to have had many matches."

Since the aggregate results lined up with numbers alone are difficult to understand, would it be a little easier to understand them if they were graphed when presenting the study? Looking at the aggregate results, thinking about what chart it would be easy to understand, Hannelore has cut out the story in a nasty way.

"Um, Master Rosemaine. There was a discussion last night that if we turn the ritual fold, the spear that changes in the Staarp, into the spear of the Lydenshaft, even those of Dunkelferger would get blessings, as Master Rosemayne did."

I nodded lightly at the words of Hannelore. There is a clear difference from previous rituals. There will be a discussion on how to do this.

Discussions at Aerenfest dormitories focused exclusively on "To stop my rampage" and "To avoid effectively when told to do so from the Great Territories," but in Dunkelferger, "To restore the ritual to its original form," they said.

"As you've all thought, you can actually touch it and pass magic through the divine artifact, creating the form of the divine artifact if you think clearly about what it is. Because I could do it near my side going to the temple. However, it uses a lot of magic, so I don't think it can be maintained all the time during the ritual unless it's advanced."

Not only did Hannelore nod in my words, but so did his neighbors around him. Can the aristocracy of Dunkelferger also head to the temple if it is to receive blessings in Ditter? Dunkelferger, who lives in Ditter, seems to have different standards from other territories, which is a little confusing.

... but I don't have to go all the way to the temple to spear the Lyden shaft, I don't think it would be a problem as a ritual if we just served magic.

I thought so in my heart, but I dare not put it in my mouth. If you are willing to head to the temple for Ditter, I want the nobles to take you to the temple and reform the temple. I want you to help me change the way I see the temple.

"Blessings change depending on the amount of magic you serve, so if you need a lot of blessings, you need a lot of magic. But I think it's better to try to give a little bit of magic to a large number of people rather than one person trying to bear that. The ritual of the temple is not a prayer for yourself, but for others, so how much do you have no blessing for yourself where you have borne the magic"

Hannelore and his proximity watched over my words.

"Then Lady Rosemaine, who gave all that magic..."

"I haven't received any blessings in yesterday's ritual. The Cavalier apprentices had trouble moving, but that didn't affect me in any way."

I think there's a ritual that we do in large numbers to make sure we hang each other instead of just letting one person bear the magic. Hannelore gave a convincing look to my words.

"However, be careful if lower nobles also perform rituals together. Sometimes they take away too much magic and the lower nobles fall."

"Huh?"

"It's easier for magic to flow when we all perform the same ritual. So if there's too much difference in magic, it's dangerous for the less. Please note that Dunkelferger people seem to have a temperamental landscape of trying to practice everything."

If it's for Ditter, let's do it first, it's Dunkelferger. If you don't pay attention to what I know about divinity, it is likely that it will no longer be at Ditter's.

"Perhaps there must always be a reason why rituals are performed the day before the game, either to spend time restoring magic or to get used to the blessings you give. Cheap changes also cause greater distortion to later. Try to investigate carefully before coming to the ritual so as not to break the tradition you have been following."

"Thanks for the advice, I know. That's how you draw attention."

Hannelore nodded with a smile.

After Dunkelferger and the others returned, I encouraged the production of easily understandable materials by charting aggregate results while teaching the Philinese and the others in the multi-purpose hall. I knew I wouldn't feel like I was researching if I hadn't moved my hands more than I was telling you.

I made it very easy to reflect on a number of materials in various graphs, and if I was satisfied, I said, "What is that?" and was devoured by other civilian apprentices. Apparently, the House of Lords had not yet made any graphed material.

"Rosemaine, does that not make a scene in territorial rivalry?

"Isn't it okay because joint research with the three great territories is itself the source of the noise?

I'm getting kind of very anxious, so I decided to write Ferdinand a letter of consultation saying, "I'd like to present my research in a material that uses graphs like this..."
