Ascendance of a Bookworm

I am Lulu Lady. He is a senior civilian in the third grade of Yorsebrenner who attends the House of Lords.

I'm supposed to be at a ceremony today where I'm doing joint research with Dunkelferger at Aerenfest. Again I was told by Muriella, a civilian apprentice at Aerenfest, to review the ritual precautions I had written myself.

"The cleansing is over, and I've got the restorative medicine ready. And I managed to remember the words of prayer."

"Has Lulu Lady not yet received the ritual of obtaining your protection? Isn't it much like the words you chant in that ritual? I'm guessing Aerenfest passes at one time even in lower nobility?

Your sister turned frightened, but it's so hard to remember all the names of the gods. Don't compare them to Aerenfest students who have all passed in one shot. The third graders at Aerenfest have all passed their first day of school when it comes to attendance. Lordship candidate Rosemaine, who leads them, is the quickest passer in practice, so it's difficult to compare them.

"Really, I can't even get busy information..."

"Wouldn't it be the same for your sister not to get information about Master Rosemaine?"

In the year Rosemayne entered school, she only got bragging information that would allow her to aggregate into a phrase headed by Rosemayne's side called Haltmoot, "Because I'm the Virgin of Aerenfest," and in her sophomore year, it was her sister who was driven away by Dunkelferger's Clarissa saying, "I'm the escort opponent of Haltmoot".

"Unlike my sister, I learned from Hartmoot and Philine that I was planning to return to the stories Rosemayne preferred and Aerenfest, and from the conversation between Wilfried and Hannelore that I was making connections with the upper realm by borrowing books. We're getting along with Muriella now."

I went to the library when Aerenfest was buying stories from all over the place for a high price and asked me to go to the lower nobility of Yorsebrenner "because I would like to hear what kind of stories Master Rosemaine prefers to buy for a little bit, but it is the senior nobility who is in charge". That's where we can get information from Master Haltmoot and Mr. Filine.

... Master Rosemayne says he prefers love stories. Though I didn't quite understand the phrase "to Uriageteki".

I thought I might feel comfortable with Master Rosemayne. I love love love stories, too.

Muriella, who was newly in the vicinity of Lady Rosemaine, was also introduced by Lady Filine. Master Muriella is a lover of love stories, and when you two start telling each other stories, they become stories of love more than information-gathering everywhere.

...... I want to get along with Master Rosemayne soon and read many of Aerenfest's love stories.

It's fun to ask what kind of story Muriella told you, but I still want to read it myself.

... There are some lovely occasions in the new House of Lords love story where the goddess of time plays a prank and the god of darkness spreads his sleeves wide to cover up the goddess of light. Oh, when can I read it?

"You don't say fluffy things about wanting to marry Aerenfest to read a new book, you see a little more reality. I won't marry Aerenfest easily if I want to be dowry with that many more top performers and become noticeable from around me. It's not like it was a few years ago."

"If you want to marry an intermediate nobleman of Aerenfest..."

"Your father and mother only know when Aerenfest was wandering low, so there's no way you'd allow Aerenfest to marry an intermediate nobleman, right? Let's head to the auditorium without saying anything floating."

Your sister speaks to another senior civilian apprentice, Lustraone. There are three people from Yorsebrenner to take part in the joint research: me, my sister and Lustraone.

Aerenfest was a middle territory that wandered around the bottom the whole time, suddenly surfacing its ranks by surviving the coup d 'état with neutrality. For this reason, the magic seems to be preserved a lot. The increased production of the territory and its stability also show that it is rich in magic that fills the land.

Besides, the House of Lords has been doing better and better in the last five or six years. At first, he was ridiculed for being desperate to maintain rank, as only the lower grades of seating rose a lot. That was before my enrollment, when Yorsebrenner was higher ranked, he said.

However, even practical skills began to show a glimpse of students who would improve their grades, and students who would finish their practical skills with a amount of magic that they did not think was the middle realm. This is still going on.

Rumor has it you've come up with a good way to compress magic from the fact that more than half of the students in the territory are now up.

Since Lady Rosemayne's admission, everyone in the first day of school passed to attract surrounding attention and showcase a number of new objects. However, novel objects originating from small and medium-sized territories do not necessarily become endemic. If you don't keep it in the eyes of the Great Territories and spread it out, it's just rare and it's over.

Many people had an ironic grin when it came to fashion when they said, "I hope you can pick it up in the Great Territories," pitifully Lady Rosemaine, who returned to Aerenfest ill during the social season at the Tea Party in the Small and Medium Territories.

How surprising and hasty the small and medium-sized territories would have been when it was found that Prince Anastasius had given them Aerenfest hair decorations or that Master Eglantine and Master Rosemaine were personally having a tea party to exchange luster on their hair at a tea party held at the end of their freshman year under the auspices of Aerenfest.

... My sister attended as a delegate, so I don't know, but it seemed like a tough tea party, including the fact that Master Rosemaine fell and ended up on the way.

Then even if he hastily tried to get information, he wouldn't grab Aerenfest students up close, and if he was comfortable thinking about whether he should gather in a territorial rivalry, Lady Rosemayne would be absent, and usually the Aerenfest place, which should be idle, ended up with the Aubs of the Great Territories frequenting in and out and the small and medium-sized territories not getting close to busy.

Even in the sophomore year, Master Rosemayne quickly disappeared from the lecture hall after passing her first day, and during the social season, Master Charlotte was fully responsive and Master Rosemayne didn't show up at all.

It was Dear Wilfried and Charlotte who were also dealing with small and medium-sized territories in the territorial rivalry, and Dear Rosemayne was busy dealing with Dunkelferger with a guardian named Dear Ferdinand. And the award ceremony was absent, the graduation ceremony was seated in the middle. He's the one who doesn't see you at all, despite being very noticeable on the outside like he just finished his baptism ceremony.

Lady Rosemaine is finally in the House of Lords during the social season. This is the first time I've had the opportunity to talk to Master Rosemayne.

The topic of the book smiled with pleasure, and Master Rosemaine was embarrassed to cloud her words about her own love story, but when it became a bad rumor about Aub, she looked sad.

Rumors gained at the Lords' Conference are that Aub has made a lot of a difference from my real son and pushed me into the temple, so I can't even be in the House of Lords. That would be very painful.

Lady Rosemayne is denied, but it is a well-known fact that Aub's real children, Lady Wilfried and Lady Charlotte, have not returned to Aerenfest during the social season. If they really treat you the same, shouldn't they all be back?

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

To block Master Rosemayne, who started talking about rituals at the temple, Inmeldink's lord candidate, Mullenroyer, is making an unfailing request to participate in a joint study with Dunkelferger.

It was during last year's territorial rivalry that the senior nobility of Inmeldink attacked and blamed Master Rosemaine for not attempting to do so. "Nobody agrees with you about the damage suffered by Inmeldink from Master Rosemayne," said Mullenroyer at a previous tea party, "but what a thick thing.

Nor is it the responsibility of Lady Rosemaine that the damage from Turnisbefalen was significant, nor that the ranking was lowered by the blame on the senior nobility. When my surroundings tried to stop Master Mullenroyer, Mr. Rosemayne, who was conceived, looked up and smiled nicely.

"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?

...... too sweet, Dear Rosemaine.

I have been frightened, but I and I will flock around. I rushed into battle, knowing the silent claim that if Inmeldink were allowed to participate, our territory would be better.

"Dear sister, you may be able to participate in the joint study of Dunkelferger and Aerenfest!

"Well done, Lulu Lady"

As Lady Rosemayne said with a smile, Yorsebrenner quickly offered Dunkelferger to participate in the joint study.

"Then it's Ditter!

I don't know what the relationship is between collaborative research and ditters, but it's not up to me to decide to do ditters with Dunkelferger. As a result of asking for Aub's judgment, I asked the Knight Apprentices to do a ditter so that I could do a ditter and participate in a joint study.

"Dear Lulu Lady, what Dunkelferger wanted was a treasure theft ditter"

"... treasure theft is an old ditter, isn't it?

Now we're going to compete with a ditter who just learns a little in the classroom, who hasn't even practiced in practice, and although the small and medium-sized territories fought jointly, he was defeated quickly. We needed a lot of healing pills. If you're a ditter competing for speed, it was a huge miscalculation for Yose Brenner because you never needed more healing pills or magic.

"Now the collection area is getting a lot thinner, and you can't pick very good materials."

Materials aren't good, and you'll need a ton of magic to make your healing pills. The civilian apprentices made it all out, but they can't even make the knight apprentices pay for the recovery pills. It's the damage outside the lecture I gave on Aub's orders.

I gave Aub leave to pay the cost of the House of Lords for the restorative medicine, but for that reason the amount available for the territorial rivalry was reduced at once.

However, thanks to the hard work of the knight apprentices, I received for three as applied by a wooden plaque that allowed me to participate from Dunkelferger. They say it's a permit you have to bring with you. I was told that if I took it to the civilian apprenticeship in Aerenfest, I would receive precautions to participate, and I contacted Master Muriella.

"Huh? Do you need restorative drugs to participate in a collaborative study?

"Yep. We need magic in the rituals that Rosemaine performs, so if we don't have it, we'll have trouble."

I was very troubled by Muriella's words. It's hard to say that Aub ordered me and the Knight Apprentices to do their best, but not to participate in the ritual. But using any more magic, you want to avoid situations where you will need a healing pill.

...... it might have been smarter to have resigned when they applied for Ditter like in Meldink.

I have heard that Inmeldink, which suffered the most from last year's assault on Turnisbefalen, was unable to join Ditter and declined because there was barely the number of knight apprenticeships that the Middle Territories deserved.

"There's no room for a yose brenner like Aerenfest. Is it worth taking a name for collaborative research until you participate in a ritual that uses any more magic?

To my words, Master Muriella leaned her neck a little.

"I do not know about the power of other realms... but I think Rosemayne's ritual is worth seeing. I think I know exactly what it means to pray to the gods, to be loved by them."

It was breathtaking that Muriella's green eyes, which usually shine in love stories, were unexpectedly serious, and I decided to participate in the joint study.

There were more than two hundred people gathered in the auditorium. I was surprised by so many people and was so anxious that I only had three cloaks of the same cream color as myself that I gently pulled my sister's cloak.

"Sister, will so many people participate in the study?

"Most of them seem to be lord candidates, so there must be a lot of proximity attached. I don't think there are many actual participants."

Since the Lord's Candidate of Yorsebrenner did not graduate when I entered school, unlike my sister, who is a close proximity to the Lord's Candidate who graduated, I always have a weak sense that the Lord's Candidate acts with the close proximity.

... I rarely engage with lord candidates when I work in a castle.

"Um, Master Fairzile. Isn't that the Central Knights?

I showed Lustraone behind the auditorium, in front of the door that connects between the deepest points he entered when he got the stamp. As Lustraone said, for some reason there is a sloppy line of central knights with black capes. Several of them were dressed as if they had been fighting until earlier. It feels like I healed my wounds with healing pills or something, but I couldn't hide the damage to my clothes.

"What happened?

"You're not supposed to know what Lulu Lady doesn't know when he brings this story of collaborative research, are you?

I also saw tension in your sister's face saying that. I have no idea what will happen with the joint study of Dunkelferger and Aerenfest. On second thought, it's odd that people are gathered in the auditorium to conduct joint research.

"Beyond this door, there will be a ritual between the deepest. Participants should always present their permits. If you don't have a permit, you can't go in there. One by one, please."

Aerenfest and Dunkelferger students are calling it that out loud. I found in it the figures of Master Filine and Muriella.

The first person to go in was in Classenburg. Classenburg doesn't have any Lords candidates right now, so it looks like they have senior civilian apprenticeships in place. I saw five people lined up. For some reason it was strange to stop just before everyone went in the back.

Looks like Dunkelferger, second in line, is already inside because he's the one who does the collaborative research. The third-place Drevanhell follows after Classenburg.

"Why can't I get in!? I am Master Oltveen's escort knight!

"You can't go in without a permit. That's no exception to the Guardian Knight."

"When such a thing is allowed..."

As soon as the escort knights revealed their anger, the Central Knights moved zah.

"No one without a permit is allowed in. Back off."

Starred with a steep, sharp eye, said so in a grumpy, low voice, the escort knight slowly lowers as he devours his tight teeth. I didn't think I could even get in the vicinity without a permit.

"What are Dunkelferger and Aerenfest thinking about separating the escort knights?

Anxiously, I grip my permit tightly.

That's when one student who was supposed to have gone across the door came back. You must be an Earlensbach student because you are a vine-colored cloak. "You can't participate in rituals if you're more at risk than the escort knights can't get in," has been kicked out by the Knight Apprentices of Aerenfest and Dunkelferger.

"No, I am harmful...! Master Rosemaine! It's Master Rosemaine's conspiracy!

"Let's hear more"

A female student is handed over to the Central Knights by the Knights Apprentices of Aerenfest and Dunkelferger and has her face drawn out of the auditorium.

"Hey, what's going on in there?

Lustraone shook his head quietly in my words.

"I don't know. But I think what we can deduce from what she said is that there's something to discern the harmful from the dangerous."

"I guess there's something to make sure you're safe without the escort knight....... there should be nothing wrong with it if there is no hostility or harmfulness. Because Krassenburg and Drevanhel have not come out."

Your sister whispered that and took a glimpse of the people in the small territory nearby. There are people at the Tea Party who were jealous of Aerenfest and mouthed a lot of bad rumors.

... Me, I've leaked my dissatisfaction with the massive need for healing pills, but this isn't hostility, is it?!?

thrilled I wait for my turn. Aside from the fact that two of the civilian apprentices in Arlensbach, who had five, were expelled, one went inside. Again, while stopping the movement once just before entering.

"What's over there? We'll make sure everyone stops moving, right?

The door is open, but between the deepest is a membrane of intricately colored magic, so that the back is invisible. My sister, who came in before me, stopped moving the same way.

"Next"

Voiced by Lady Filine, I proceed by gripping the wood plaque in front of my chest. I'm very scared of the central knights standing to the left and right of the door, but I'll be careful not to lean down as much as possible.

As soon as I tried to pass the membrane softly, I could see the sight in the back, and I stopped on my feet, just like everyone else.

... What do you mean!? I've never heard of a royal family so aligned!

As soon as I got inside, what I saw was a royal lined up in yellow, clear hemispherical objects. At the forefront is the appearance of Lord Rosemayne, who is putting together the temple chief's costume.

"Please give me a permit," I heard right from the side as I stopped moving to the shock that I thought would stop my heart. I will give my permission to Clarissa of Dunkelferger, while I remain stunned.

"This is the shield of Szeria, a divine instrument to keep those who are inside from entering those who are hostile or harmful. This is how we sort out the escort knights because they perform rituals while they can't even get them in. Please come inside and say hello."

Master Rosemaine smiled and said so, taking a step aside. From the left edge there is a line of Dear Eglantine, Prince Anastasius, and then King Traockvar, Dear Adolphine, Prince Gigisvalt and Dear Naerache.

I never dreamed that I, the senior aristocrat of the Middle Territories, would come directly to royalty. Lady Traokvar has majesty as a royalty, although he is often scorned in loser territory for not being worthy of Zent because he does not have a gluthris height. I knelt before you slowly, as my feet trembled.

"Allow me to pray for blessings to the tough sorted and rare encounter of AVILLIBE, God of Life"

"Forgive"

The king's voice sounded more gentle than I expected, and I blessed and greeted him with a little relief.

"My name is Lulu Lady and I'm a yose brenner. I am truly honored to have met Zent Traokvar."

"Thank you for your cooperation today, Lulu Lady"

I had no idea that the king would call me by name and thank me. It would have been too honorable and speechless for a senior nobleman like me, and I might have shed a tear of gratitude on the spot if Lady Rosemaine hadn't urged me to.

"Dear Lulu Lady, Haltmut will guide you"

When prompted to stand up, there was a Hartmoot with blue cleric clothes together. Why are the nobles who graduated from the House of Lords wearing blue clerics' clothes? I feel dazzled by the new shock when I wonder if I managed to overcome the shock that the royal family was sliding in line as soon as I entered.

"Dear Haltmoot, that costume…"

"Because I am the Chief Cleric who supports the Temple Chief, Lord Rosemaine. Besides, I'm not the only one. Dear Wilfried and Charlotte are invited. Today is a special day, but Rosemayne's dedication ceremony is a ritual in which only priests and witches can enter the blue."

Master Haltmoot smiled no different from last year as he looked down proudly at the costume of the Temple, which everyone despised. I have the same smile when I speak of Master Rosemaine's splendour. I was delighted to think of you heading for the temple, but as a nobleman, it can't be. I shook my head and shook off the idea.

"Please wait here"

It was next to my sister, with a red rug, who was guided by Master Haltmoot. It is arranged in a circular fashion to spread the center so that the closer to the center is the upper territory, the lower the outside. Given that it is not a complete circle, and that some of it is open straight, will the royal family that has finished greeting move to the center?

"Really, all the Lord's candidates at Aerenfest were in and out of the temple."

That's what your sister said in a small voice as Master Haltmoot walked away to guide Lustraone, who came in next.

Once again I looked around the room and found Master Wilfried and Master Charlotte wearing blue costumes, as Mr. Haltmoot said. If you look at the costume you're wearing, you'll quickly know if it's something you've borrowed in a hurry for today or something you've borrowed. The costume for the two of you growing up was a decent piece of clothing, and besides, it wasn't entirely new, something that you could see through your sleeves several times.

"Regardless of the rumors that there are disparities in treatment with real children, there seems to be no doubt that the Lordship Candidates are doing the divine work at Aerenfest"

The moment I squealed like that, the wind suddenly blew. I wonder what it is, and if you look up, it looks like someone was played by the shield of Szczeria protecting the royalty, and I can see Aerenfest and the Knight Apprentices of Dunkelferger taking you out.

"I don't have any hostility!

"Is it hostility towards me, not royalty? But please refrain from this ritual. If you are hostile or harmful to a ceremonial venue without an escort knight, you are in trouble."

Lady Rosemayne dropped off a student who would be taken out saying so in a quiet manner.

They say those who are being taken out are hostile to either Master Rosemaine or the royal family. It doesn't seem like there's any way to make sure that's true, but why are you so sure?

"Is it going to be okay? It'd be tough if it wasn't true, wouldn't it? Because the royal family sees that there may be hostility."

"But it's clearly played. In the upper territories there were only two Arlensbach, but the two stated in person that they were clearly hostile to Master Rosemayne. But earlier he was from a territory that lost the coup. From now on, there is a chance that many will be played."

As Lustraone put it, many who came in afterwards were played. I think there was animosity toward the royalty because I was biased toward a territory that was leaking dissatisfaction with the loss of the coup at the Tea Party or the fact that the territory was rough.

... Lady Rosemayne says, "I know it's hostile towards me," but the royal people know very well that it's not.

Several people were kicked out and the entry of everyone who took a long time was over. Leaving two of Dunkelferger's lord candidates standing at the wall, Aerenfest and Dunkelferger's knight apprentices leave the room to go. And the civilian apprentices shut the door perfectly and took positions just like us.

"Now proceed to center"

In the words of Lord Rosemayne, the royalty walks in turn to the empty place in the middle. Lady Rosemaine waited for the royal family to move and erased the shield of Szczeria.

"Now we're going to have a service ceremony"

Master Wilfried explained the service ceremony, and for the first time I knew that the ritual that I was going to perform was a ritual that would gather magic from everyone and dedicate it to the royal family.

...... what is such a ritual co-research!? You said every territory lacks magic, but I, didn't I get fooled!?

The voice of my heart seemed like that of everyone around me. Master Charlotte opens his mouth as he looks around at everyone with a bah and a face up.

"This joint study began with Dunkelferger and Aerenfest students giving more than one patronage of the gods. Because of the common denominator of regular rituals of prayer to the gods, we hypothesized that prayer and rituals might be important."

Everyone who nearly complained shut their mouths. I knew there was someone in Aerenfest's third grade who had more than one blessing, but I didn't know what it had to do with rituals. In fact, one of the lower aristocracies gained protection from attributes that were not aptitudes, and one intermediate aristocracy became all attributes.

"Your brother and sister in the temple of Aerenfest have been blessed with twelve and twenty-first consecrations, respectively."

"It's my physical sense, but about 70% of my magic so far has allowed me to formulate and so on. We think it's going to be an important study in a time of lack of magic."

The words of Master Wilfried, who actually gained the twelve blessings, had power. If you need to consume less magic to make the formula, isn't that the same as having more magic?

Master Restylaut of Dunkelferger, who remained standing at the wall, also opened his mouth.

"Many have seen the sight of Dunkelferger receiving the blessings of the gods, who performed the ritual of Ditter in his participation. It was confirmed that the force and speed varied greatly depending on the ritual. This is the result of this study."

There also seemed to be a blessing of the gods by ritual that Dunkelferger was terribly ditter strong.

As I blinked my eyes, Master Haltmoot began to move slowly towards the center with something like a bell in his hand. A good voice echoes in the room as you walk.

"The first king was the temple chief. There was a time when Zent, and Aub, naturally prayed to the gods as temple chief. By participating in this ritual, Rosemaine hopes to feel the power of the gods close to her, to review the presence of the temple, and to gain a little more patronage of the gods."

I accidentally searched for Rosemayne. Lady Rosemaine, who has erased the shield of Szczeria, stands quietly in front of the door. It seemed so beautiful to me that instead of monopolizing ourselves, we could all get the protection of the gods. I know a little bit how proud Master Haltmoot is of being the "Virgin of Aerenfest".

"We will have a service ceremony. Kneel on the spot and put your hands on the red rug. And recite the prayers of Lord Rosemaine, the temple chief"

As instructed by Master Haltmoot, everyone sitting thoughtfully took a kneeling position and put their hands on the floor. The royal family takes the same position. I saw Master Wilfried and Master Charlotte moving from center to edge and kneeling.

Standing are two Dunkelferger lord candidates on the wall and Master Haltmoot in the center, and only Master Rosemaine in front of the door, Shan! and the bell rang loudly.

"Temple Chief, enter!
