Ascendance of a Bookworm

"So I have to be a good Aub for the love I've lost"

I was unexpectedly worried as I sobered a little in the words of Dietrinde, which I concluded with such determination. The fact that the word next Aub comes up so often may mean that Aub Ahrensbach is not doing well for a long time.

"Speaking of which, how about an addition or a subtraction from Aub Ahrensbach? I was worried because Master Ferdinand was going to hurry to Arlensbach."

Perhaps with Ferdinand's medication, it could be a little longer. But I don't think I'll let Ferdinand in the other realm create the medicine. Even Ferdinand's letter does not tell us how Aub is doing, so I am worried that he will be able to take over safely.

Dietrinde sighed sadly at my question, ho.

"... can never be called good. But with Master Ferdinand here, I think you'll be relieved for a little bit of stability."

"Really?"

I can't say it's good in a tea party like this, so I guess it's pretty bad. Aerenfest knows Aub isn't doing well with Ferdinand on his way, but he shouldn't know any other realm. At least, it's not rumored in the House of Lords.

"I'd like to go back to Arlensbach right away if I could, but my mother tells me to focus on socializing as the next Aub."

Even though you are in a state of well-being, you will want to rush to the side if you have a serious family. Suppressing that sentiment, he took a lecture in the House of Lords and reviewed a little Dietrinde encouraging socialisation. If I were you, I'd finish my lecture as quickly as I could and go back to Aerenfest, and I don't think I'd leave my father's pillow if he told me I was in the way.

"So I must show you where I deserve the next Aub at graduation"

"Good luck"

"Don't you think we need Aerenfest's help to get everyone's attention?

"... cooperation, is it?

I tilt my neck because I don't know what it means. Seems like I'm going to state it a lot more straightforwardly as a Dietrinde, but I have no idea what it's about. I turned my gaze to Wilfried and Charlotte, but neither of us seems to know very well.

"So tell me how to shine the Demon Stone," Dietrinde said, in a voice that was irritated by the evil speculation that all three of us didn't understand.

"Didn't you shine a demon stone in your dedication dance archery to get your attention? I thought you wanted to stand out a lot, but it's a good way to catch the crowd. I'll do the goddess of light at the service dance. You need me, don't you?

... Huh? You're gonna do the goddess of electricity, not the light? It's shiny, isn't it? It doesn't matter what you think, does it? You're gonna draw attention in a bad way, aren't you?

I saw Dietrinde as a poker. Both Wilfried and Charlotte look at Dietrinde with surprised faces.

"If you're looking at Rosemaine when you're archaic, I think Dear Dietrinde will stand out evil, as you can see. It's not about graduation, it's about doing it where there's a lot of other Aubs and royalty."

"Well, won't Wilfried cooperate?

This is the one who looks surprised by the big picture, but is surprised. Are you seriously going to do an electric decorative shiny service dance?

"It's not a question of cooperating or not..."

"Oh, Master Rosemaine doesn't want to teach me, does she? For you to stand out."

Stared with dark green eyes, I hasten to add words.

"No, it's not... If you want to shine a demon stone, you just need to use magic, right?

"You can't be deluded with words like that. There must be some way to glow all those demonic stones at the same time. Is there some kind of magic trick to glow the magic stone?

... Huh? That's not true.

Dietrinde waves a hot valve, citing as an example that all the rainbow demon stones in the pigeon were glowing, and you can't possibly do that just by magic. I have to manage to get off topic well or mislead.

Charlotte lurked her voice, saying that I was troubled, "Dear Dear Dietrinde, let's not talk about this here alone". "You still had a secret," Dietrinde says, gleaming her eyes and embarking on herself.

"Actually, your sister was in a very sick state that day of archery and couldn't stop the magic from flowing on her own. So I was just taking magic with demonic stones, and I didn't wear magic tools to make it glow."

"Then, after the archery, I fell..."

"There was too much magic."

... I didn't lie, but it sounds like a lie. If this is true, I look pretty shitty sick.

Still can't be trusted, Dietrinde looks at me and Charlotte suspiciously. Wilfried also opened his mouth with a nod to Charlotte's words as he thought if he didn't do something about it.

"So now that he's recovered a little, Rosemaine can't glow the Demon Stone by performing an audition for the service dance. Besides, if you really want to make it glow, what about losing the quality of the Demon Stone?

... Hey, Brother Wilfried! What do you do by pushing the goddess of electrical decoration!?

Me and Charlotte look at each other unexpectedly, but Wilfried is serious about whether there's any way to make it shine within his grasp.

"Too much magic can be golden powder, but I think it's somewhat easy to shine..."

"That's a great idea, Wilfried"

... Oh, Lord Dietrinde will do it for real!

"Even though we've lost some quality, it's going to take a lot of magic to shine a bunch of demon stones. I know you don't need to use that kind of magic for a service dance..."

Dietrinde smiled and shook his head as Charlotte uttered words to make him give up somehow.

"We'll also practice a few times to identify the quality that won't be golden powder, so you'll be fine. Oh, can you show me the hair decorations to wear to that graduation?

Wilfried's side service begins to move quickly into the played Dietrinde voice. After various confirmations, Dietrinde's sidekick apprentice Martina received it.

"I'm going to unveil my hair decorations at the next tea party where all the top territories are gathered."

"Really? Now you have to teach Dear Dietrinde how to decorate. Brunhilde"

When I called his name, Brunhilde began to teach Martina, nodding lightly. Brunhilde, who has taught many side servants, including Eglantine and Adolphine, explains how he is used to it.

"Nevertheless, Master Rosemaine's Rainbow Demon Stone is a wonderful thing. Do you want me to treat my fiancée, too?

"After the star knot ritual, maybe you'll listen to me."

"Oh, why?

As Dietrinde blinks, I complain that Ferdinand has no workshop.

"We will stay in the rooms until the star knot ritual, so I don't think there's anything we can do without a workshop and without materials and tools. Prepare a workshop for Ferdinand to study…"

"Then you have no choice."

If you want a rainbow demon stone ornament, you should prepare the workshop immediately, but I didn't get a colourful reply. Too bad.

"Speaking of research, what's going on with your joint research with Arlensbach? I'm in trouble if you don't give me as much as a report."

"I recently submitted my second report to Dr. Fraurelm. You said Dr. Fraurelm had already sent you to Arlensbach, but has it not been reported to Dear Dietrinde, the Lordship Candidate?

When I turned my gaze to Charlotte and Wilfried, the two of them nodded and testified that they had met Fraurelm to submit the report twice.

"I can't believe you sent me to Arlensbach before you showed me..."

"Apparently, Master Ferdinand hasn't received his first report either. I don't think there is a lazy civilian in Arlensbach, a large territory, but I know that if possible, I would like Dear Dietrinde, who will be in the next Aub, to look closely into it."

Dietrinde nodded loudly, adding that maybe it was just the wrong way to go.

"Let me look into it. This joint study will be presented as an apprentice of Ferdinand. My fiancée's reputation also concerns my reputation. Don't do anything to discredit Mr. Ferdinand in our joint research."

"In order to reflect Ferdinand's opinions, Rymund will be asked to send out frequent letters and reports, and we will only announce what Ferdinand has passed."

"Yeah, let's do that."

... I'm frustrated with what Dear Dietrinde has to say, but this may work out the matter of the report, and I've got an excuse to write to you frequently, so as a result, well, okay...?

Unexpectedly, when the words were taken and I was a little satisfied, Wilfried opened his mouth as he gazed at Dietrinde and his neighbors.

"Dear Dietrinde, my uncle seems to have headed to Arlensbach as an educator for Lady Retizia, but is he doing well with Lady Retizia? Well, my uncle has a little bit of a problem with education, so I'm worried."

Wilfried's words are questions to explore whether Dietrinde knows the relationship between Retizia and the royal life. I could see that there was a slight run of tension between the sides, but Dietrinde just put his hand on his cheek and tilted his neck.

"I don't really interact with Retizia, so I don't know how Retizia is. As soon as the winter social community began, we moved to the House of Lords, and according to the letter, Master Ferdinand seems to be encouraging the executive. Wouldn't you be able to afford to be an educator in Retizia or something?

He doesn't interact with Retizia and doesn't seem to know what Ferdinand meant when he went to Arlensbach as an educator. Without a doubt Dietrinde doesn't know he's a relay aub. They figured that out. Wilfried looked at Dietrinde caring.

"Take a look at this one more than that. It was given to Lanzenave, who visited Arlensbach in the summer…"

Ever since then, Arlensbach's pride, Ferdinand's pride and someone's pride have been extended, and the time has gone on to be tightened with words that feel like, "Me the next Aub standing over them like that".

What we were asked to do is praise Dietrinde and advise and cooperate on how we can strengthen Arlensbach's influence.

In the meantime, there were no topics or explorations at all about Aerenfest's Solemnity from Dietrinde's mouth. In an atmosphere where no information is shared between Georgine and Dietrinde, Dietrinde only talks about himself, who will even be the next Aub, and the tea party is over.

"... you're tired"

That's the first word that came out of my mouth when I went back to the dorm. It is a tea party where you are even required to lift someone with entertainment. Since it is an inner circle tea party with no other territorial people, Aerenfest was a tea party that was completely underground and proceeded as Dietrinde wished. I'm seriously tired.

He was gathered from around the House of Lords and his own classmates. When he boasted of the Ferdinand legend on our face, he said, "Because Master Ferdinand is still from Aerenfest! It was hard to put up with because I wanted to."

"I knew a little more about the situation in Aerenfest, and I was wary that you might be able to put in some exploration, but you didn't"

"Charlotte, Master Dietrinde seemed to know nothing, but from time to time, tension ran between the proximity. Some of them seem to know a lot."

Wilfried clouded his face and sighed in my words.

"I know it's other HR, but Dear Dietrinde gets a little worried. Is it okay to be the next Aub among the restricted information like that?

"It's a relay until Lady Retizia grows up, so maybe you're trying not to give too much information"

Looking at the proximity, it just seems like he's deliberately limiting the information. Although I do not know whether it is the intention of Aub Ahrensbach or the offer of Georgine.

"I think it's scarier when I find out later..."

"Around here, the Arlensbach people think, it's not for us to say anything more than there's no harm to Master Ferdinand."

Saying so in a sigh mix, Vilfriet glanced at me with a deep green eye very similar to Dietrinde.

"... Rosemaine, it's a little cold to say. Aren't you worried about Mr. Dietrinde?

Wilfried complains that he looks overlapping with himself, who is restricted in information, manipulated around him and is supposed to leave a stain, but my heart was not moved at all tired of today's entertainment. I just didn't give it back "nothing," I think you put up with it a lot.

"Declaring it to be the next Aub among adults, and despite the many proximities, Dear Dietrinde is restricted in information, so it would mean that Arlensbach wants it. I'm more worried about Mr. Ferdinand than I am about Mr. Dietrinde, who might be in collusion for something he does."

"My uncle would do something about it. That's all I have."

Even though I worry about Dietrinde, I'm not worried about Ferdinand. I'm getting cocky about Wilfried's words.

"... Ferdinand, who must protect Master Retizia, is not the same as when he is in Aerenfest, besides the few who can be trusted and the lack of an environment to make new magic equipment. Brother Wilfried seems colder to me."

It is what I want my uncle to worry about, who has never been looked after, more than a troublesome opponent who has no particular contact and does not carry profits without even referring to Ferdinand.

Charlotte sighed deeply as me and Wilfried stared at each other.

"Aren't your brother and sister just different subjects to worry about? Neither of you will be cold. Isn't it because you're tired of conflict over such trivial things?

"Charlotte......"

"Right. Sorry."

My sister tells me, me and Wilfried apologize to each other and then have tea brewed for the side service and a reflection for today's Tea Party as I calm my mind.

"With Dear Dietrinde, whose information is restricted, appearing gloriously on the table, it seems that the circumstances behind it are unnecessarily hidden, or the thoughts and actions of Dear Georgine. It hurts for Aerenfest."

Just hanging out with Dietrinde's bragging made me realize again that there was no busy harvest in the sense of Arlensbach's information, and I felt even more tired.

And I am also supposed to attend a tea party where the lower realms are gathered from the inside before the fatigue of my cousin's club can be removed, and I make a melancholy mood to hide and attend with laughter.

It was lifted with an exchange of treats and now he wants to know the recipe again, so I tried to tell him that a cattle curl with specialty lowlets was being developed at Dunkelferger's Tea Party.

"Using Territory Specialties...? That's nice. Let the cook make it quick."

"Master Rosemayne gets along a lot with Dunkelferger, doesn't he? Looks like they'll be doing some collaborative research..."

"Inmeldink offered to participate in a collaborative study, but he refused. I was hoping to help..."

Collaborative research, which will deepen relations with the large territories, seems to be of interest to every territory. Unlike tea parties with all the lower territories, it's still better than being heard all the bad rumors about my adoptive fathers, but it's hard to be told that I couldn't participate in joint research.

"It would be nice to have some research that we can do together next"

When I smiled and stopped talking about collaborative research, I recommended Aerenfest's book. Some people on this occasion have already borrowed from Charlotte to read new works.

"I hear you lent the book from Charlotte to Lulu Lady of Yorsebrenner. Have they read it yet?

"Yeah, I borrowed it. I was so excited to read the Love Story of the House of Lords last year that I was looking forward to it this year."

Lulu Lady, a senior aristocrat who is attending a tea party as a proxy for the Lordship Candidate from the tenth largest Yorse Brenner this year, tells the Love Story of the House of Lords. As everyone was relieved that their consciousness had turned to the story of love, they saw me with the kind of eyes Luluradi was thrilled with.

"What kind of love does Lady Rosemayne have with your fiancée, Lady Wilfried? I guess you're in love as nice as a story, huh?

I am stuck in words, stared at with the gaze of anticipation from my surroundings.

"... what is between me and Brother Wilfried is a family emotion, not a love that can be made into a story. But you get married and you become a family, so it's important to feel calm, isn't it? My mother said that although the story requires mountains and valleys, peace is best in her life."

I thought this would draw my attention to the interest, and Lulu Lady ate even more.

"Well, you even have hair decorations like that, but you're telling me it's not the kind of love you can make into a story?

"It's a great hair decoration, isn't it? That's all the rainbow demon stones have on them. Isn't the magnitude of your love visible"

Since giving hair decorations to graduation ceremonies is beginning to be fashionable in royalty and upper territories, it seems that hair decorations are becoming an admirable gift from lovers for those in the middle and lower territories.

... I've never known that before. I can't believe I weigh my affection with the luxury of the hair decorations I was given...... I got it for my guardian, Lady Ferdinand, not my fiancée, you can never tell me.

With that in mind, and not to differ from what I have explained to others, I tell the story of the rainbow demon stone claw that I received from all my parents. It's an act of smashing the fantasy of a maiden, but if you don't spread the word that it was Ferdinand who designed it, it's going to be a big deal when Dietrinde fails with her hair decorations.

"This hair decoration was designed by my guardian, Ferdinand, and given to me by Brother Wilfried, with rainbow demon stones ready by all parents. Brother Wilfried never belongs to you alone."

"I can't believe you let Lady Rosemaine into the temple to be so cherished as to be given such a thing. You don't have to shelter Aub like that."

Totally adoptive fathers are treated like bad guys. I'm also getting a little tired of continuing to correct it.

"I don't know what other temples are like, but they care about divinity at Aerenfest. I am not the only one, Brother Wilfried and Charlotte are also in and out of the temple, and Aub will be taken to the temple"

"I can't believe the Aerenfest clan of lords is taking to the temple. Such a filthy thing......"

... I feel understood in a different direction than I thought.

"The temple will hold a service ceremony. Because the harvest will not increase unless the chalice to fill the little chalice or direct jurisdiction to distribute to Geebe is filled with magic. Candidates for Lordship are just making up for the lack of magic in Aerenfest's temple, where blue clerics and witches have moved to the central temple"

Brother Wilfried and Charlotte are also traveling around the countryside for prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals, he adds.

"If the harvest is low and painful, you should try moving from the Lordship Candidate."

"Going to temples and countryside is such a thing..."

It's getting more and more ridiculous to repeat the same thing with a smile on my disgusted look. Without knowing the difficulty and importance of divinity, it's a pain in the ass to be complained about all the time.

I am also angry that they will not listen to the struggles of Wilfried and Charlotte, who have striven so desperately to replace me from the time I am unfamiliar with the treatment of magic.

"Hey, Master Rosemaine. I'd rather talk about collaborative research than talk about the temple. How are you being studied as a large territory?

That is what I told the Lord's Candidate of Inmeldink, and I lay down my shoulders lightly.

"Research with Dunkelferger also validates the divinity you all hate, but do you really want to hear it?

"There is not so much abomination if it is a divine thing to do in the House of Lords, not a temple. We will practice the ritual of obtaining your protection..."

... Oh, yeah. I wish it wasn't a temple?

One flash fell on my head, spitting evil in my heart at the Lord's Candidate of Inmeldink.

... right. Good thing I came up with it.

"In the process of conducting joint research with Dunkelferger, there is something called showing Aerenfest's divinity. If you get permission from Dunkelferger, will you join us if you don't mind telling us about?

"Well, will you let me come with you?

The Lords of Inmeldink candidate, who had long complained that he wanted to take part in the joint study, smiled painfully. "Master Rosemaine is really sweet," he says, fooling Charlotte that no matter how much he complained, it was useless.

"If Inmeldink is allowed, I'd like to join you."

"If even the lords can join us, I will speak to the Lord's candidate."

"Um, Yose Brenner doesn't have a Lordship candidate, so please don't let him join me on my behalf"

I smiled nicely at the way everyone was asking for permission. If he can be named for collaborative research, he doesn't even hate participating in divinity.

"When I get permission from Dunkelferger, I'm talking about. I suggest it from me, but don't hesitate to ask Dunkelferger from all of you. Permission may be obtained if enthusiasm is conveyed."

Dunkelferger, who sent Ferdinand to Ahrensbach with the King's permission with enthusiasm and man-made sea tactics, would surely accept their enthusiasm as well. It is more certain than I alone would ask. All you have to do is ask everyone to participate in the divine affairs.

... Ah, I have to get permission from the royal family too.
