Ascendance of a Bookworm

Leonore smiles at me, anxious that the possibility of Georgine being connected to somewhere in the centre has surfaced.

"Dear Rosemaine, I know it makes you anxious, but the response is for Aub to think about it. Doesn't the Lord's candidate, Lord Rosemaine, have to think about territorial rivalry? It's been a long time since I've been asleep."

Brunhilde nodded to add to Leonore's words as well.

"Yep. I was able to connect with Zent at the service ceremony, and I have some collaborative research with the three great territories. We'll have more customers than we did last year, so it's going to be hard to prepare."

"Rosemaine, those two are right. Let us leave the judgment to our father, and let us get ready for a territorial confrontation. What's going on with your joint research with Arlensbach?

I change my mind a little to Wilfried's question. Everyone is right, we have to clear up the challenges in front of us.

"The joint study with Arlensbach will read the letter you received and move after Richarda's permission to go out is given. Basically, I'm supposed to do exhibits and presentations in Arlensbach, so there's not going to be much I can do."

A letter arrived via the boundary gate of Aerenfest while I was asleep. The main one was a letter from Retizia, some of which are also enclosed with Ferdinand's letter. As the fever rises with the tension, Ferdinand has deposited a letter with him after he is feeling better.

"What's going on with your joint research with Drevanhell?

Progress on the joint study with Drevanhel was explained from Wilfried and Charlotte. Wilfried, who held a meeting of collaborative research with Dunkelferger, dominated the meeting with Drevanhell for the presentation, he said.

"The nature of Aerenfest's demonic paper, how to improve its quality, and how it has been used to date will be presented as common research content"

"And we're going to use it for magic equipment to present it in our respective territories in terms of the parts that have become new inventions."

It's the same way I divided it up as my joint research with Dunkelferger. It is good that the large territories are not deprived of all of the research results and can be presented in their respective territories.

"I'm glad you weren't going to announce just Drevanhell. What new inventions are in Aerenfest? I haven't received a report before, so I'm not sure."

I turned my gaze to Marianne when I came up with the idea of whether I could play music automatically. Marianne lowers her gaze casually.

"... the instruments that play music are initiated by Drevanhel into research. We've done some research, but it's better there."

Looks like it turned out to be a deprivation of ideas. Marianne and Ignaerts explained to me how sorry they seemed. They say all they can present as Aerenfest research is a degraded version of Drevanhell. I can see you dropping your shoulders because you gave up the big stage of collaborative research with the big territories, but you couldn't get very good results.

"Sister, don't blame them too much. For the first time in its own right, Drevanhel has surpassed their hard work."

"I'm not going to blame you anything else," he shook his head at Charlotte, sheltering the two of them.

I wanted to know how to improve the quality of the Devil's Paper and increase the value of the paper made in Aerenfest, so I met the minimum I needed in the basic parts that I could jointly announce.

"But I also miss that there is no invention at all that can attract attention. Because of this, make a book that automatically returns to your bookcase. You can do as much as you can with the quality of the nonsave paper. Raise it. If you can move a book with quality nonsave paper, you already have the magic team itself."

Combined with the magic formations Rymund taught me, I think I can move heavy books from other realms without having to move them, or thin, light books from Aerenfest. If a book I put a little further away automatically goes into the bookcase, wouldn't demonstrating catch my eye?

"Later you are...... If Drevanhell is making instruments that improve quality and play sound, how about this one is making magic equipment that plays music that saves so much magic that even civilians seem to be able to use it?

There's also a stone shop in Lower Town, and I hear that scum demon stones are easily available to civilians. If you can play sounds like Orgol with scum demon stones, you'll be able to play music even in upscale oriented Italian restaurants that are hard to use the bard of the journey that's finally coming.

If, like a music box, customers can offer money and buy demon stones on the spot and listen to any song they like, they should be able to enjoy the music without hurting the nostalgia on the part of an Italian restaurant.

... Well, I can make Orgol or something, even if it's not magic equipment, because right now, if I order it, Johann's going to be dead.

It would be difficult for Johann to spend more than half of the year on a long business trip teaching him how to make metal typescripts and printing presses on another land, although he might try to order them if the printing relationship settles. Above all, I want to give priority to the dissemination of print over music.

"Even the civilian population will be able to use it if they attach the score and the Demon Stone. Hopefully, you can play one or two songs with one little scum demon stone"

In the mood when talking to Rymnt and Zach, Wilfried lifted his hand gently to block it as he mouthed one thing after another that came to mind.

"Rosemaine, even if you say so all of a sudden, you're both in trouble."

If you look closely, Marianne and Ignaerts are changing their complexion slightly. But I'm not going to say something so difficult to two senior civilian apprentices because some ways come to mind even in my third grade. I accidentally looked back at my civilian apprentices.

"You can save magic by using as simple a magic formation as possible, or by adding an auxiliary magic formation, and you know that if you write a score and slide a demon stone, you'll make a sound, so it's not that hard, is it?

Rhoderich and Philine, who had received my gaze and had taken notes on the book board, think a little.

"What Master Rosemayne said was the application of the magic formations that Rymund taught you, right? You're going to combine that with the Avon paper, right? It may be difficult to think about what civilians can use, but I think it's simple to make."

"Can't you save demon stone magic if you raise the quality of ink to write a score?

Marianne and Ignaerts completely changed their complexion as Rhoderich and Filine mouthed what they could come up with watching Reimund and my research nearby at Hirschur Laboratory.

"... I'll try"

If this were completed, it would not be a study with no original invention or discovery at all. I look forward to seeing what the outcome will be.

"What's going on with the joint study with Dunkelferger? Seemed to be going along while your sister was asleep..."

Philine and Muriella advanced to Charlotte's question. It was Filine who started the explanation first.

"The common part with Dunkelferger has already been put together. Later on about the Aerenfest ritual, right? I also plan to add the sentiments of the ceremonial participants that Lady Charlotte gathered at the Tea Party. Then, yesterday, there was a report that some of the ritual participants were new to the senior civilian apprenticeships who were given protection over their families, so I hurried to add them to the research presentation."

"Has anyone given you protection between the service ceremony and now?

Muriella smiled nicely at Charlotte's surprise voice.

"I'm Lulu Lady of Yorsebrenner. Looks like Lulu Lady was the only third grader who had not yet completed the ritual to obtain your protection at the time of attendance at the service ceremony. He said he prayed all the way to the final exam at the recommendation of his surroundings."

Senior aristocrats finish their lectures relatively quickly. For this reason, they had already completed the ritual, apart from Lulu Lady, the senior civilian apprenticeship at the level where they could participate in the service ceremony. Haven't had a ritual yet. She decided to try to pray until she was critical, with some recommendations around her.

"He also made amulets and sincerely prayed for Master Lululadi, as he had also done in Drevanhell.... to the budding goddess Blue Ampha"

"... you prayed to a much rarer goddess"

Blue Ampha, the budding goddess who is very well played in her mother's love story, but I think she is very minor as an object of prayer to get your protection. As Drevanhel has prepared all the amulets, the goddess of wisdom, Mestionora, should be the most major if you are a civilian.

Muriella taught me with a bitter smile at my thoughts.

"He seemed eager to pray to meet a lovely love story"

... I wasn't praying for my love buds.

I have somehow become companion to Lulu Lady, who seeks love stories over her own love. Maybe Lulu Lady must be an unfortunate child who lives in a book more than in love, just like me.

"Faithful to my desires, no, is it because I prayed with a little concentration? Or was it because there was so much magic that I could put in when I prayed in advanced aristocracy? It may have been easy to give because it originally had water aptitude. Master Lululadi has granted Blue Ampha protection in this short period of time. I think this is a great achievement."

It proved that even the higher nobles of the other realms could gain protection by offering their magic and sincere prayers. It is certainly a great achievement for Aerenfest's research. I'd like to talk to Lulu Lady in more detail and add to the results of the study.

"The people around you seem to have wanted the protection of other gods, but you are very satisfied with yourself. We are delighted to thank Master Rosemayne."

I don't have any bad kids for book lovers, though I feel a little different. Lulu Lady must be a good kid too. I just talked a little at the tea party, so I don't remember my face very well, but I remember the book you lent me.

It was a love story written in an old language. God came out more than his mother talked about, and God's analogy was also used to describe men praising women, and it should have been very difficult to decipher whether they were showing behavior or being used to describe them.

... You're a muscled love story lover, aren't you? Muriella and I seem to fit in.

I reconsider where I thought I would. We must be friends already. That's why Muriella is getting new and protected information.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I lend you a new Love Story of the House of Lords to Master Luluradi as a thank you for your cooperation in this study?

Nanny and Muriella are cutting it out. Surely what I lent her at the Tea Party was a knight's story over a love story, which shouldn't have been a love story in the House of Lords. The new book really gives priority to lord candidates in the upper territories, so it's hard to turn new to Lulu Lady, a senior nobleman in the middle territories. I'm sure he was looking forward to the new Love Story in the House of Lords.

I know exactly what it's like to look forward to a new one.

I also know how fun it is to read a book and share your thoughts with friends and cheer them up together.

It was a common sight in the Reino era.

It warmed my heart fluttering.

The sight of Muriella and Lulu Lady peeking into the book together and laughing at each other all the time comes to mind.

That was a really happy sight for me to have made the book.

"Yose Brenner will also help you prepare for a territorial rivalry. Of course, thank you. I'm sure you'll feel the protection of Blue Ampha."

After finishing the story about the joint study, it was decided to ask Wilfried to write a letter of questions for Aerenfest. Having finished my discussion, I return to my room.

"Philine, please send me a letter from Arlensbach."

The letter I received from Retizia in Arlensbach seems to be a challenge from Ferdinand. She says she's practicing to write roundabout noble rhetorical letters. And at the same time, challenges are being posed to me. I have to respond to Letitia's example.

... Even though I'm busy preparing for a territorial rivalry, it's a troublesome challenge to reply to the noble language.

Although it looks a little swollen, the tension rises because it's been a long time since I've heard back from you. You can't even cage in a hidden room while you're asleep, so Philine read the part written in regular ink.

The table describes the treatment of the graph in the presentation of the study and the instructions given to Reimnt, followed by plans for the graduation ceremony from the territorial rivalry. Ferdinand is staying in Aerenfest's Tea Party Room on the night of the Territorial Battle.

"Richarda, your permission for Master Ferdinand to use the tea party room is out of your adoptive father, isn't it?

I will speak with Richarda while Filine picks up your letter. Ferdinand, Justkus, Brother Eckhardt, and four people near Arlensbach are going to stay in the tea party room.

"It's been censored once in Aerenfest, so Aub's permission is out at the same time. Master Zilvester wanted to prepare a room in the dorm, but there's nothing we can do about the side of Arlensbach together. It's hard to prepare a bench."

Ferdinand is technically in a difficult state of belonging to Aerenfest because he spends time in Aerensbach but hasn't gotten married yet. That's why Dietrinde told me to spend time in Aerenfest's dorm.

... The reason for this is because Dear Dietrinde, who heard about your mother's love story in the House of Lords, had an admiration for a situation where escort opponents would pick you up on the morning of graduation.

Apparently, the Arlensbach nobles who feared information would spill from Ferdinand, who was already involved in the executive branch, disagreed, but Dietrinde said, "I thought you said that Master Ferdinand would fulfill my wishes, didn't you?" and made the sacrificed demon stone glimmer, and seemed not to give way to his hard work.

"... Master Ferdinand is welcome here, but don't you think you can't get tired of being sleeping in a long chair in the tea party room?

"We have no choice but to avoid being in a bad position in Arlensbach because we are suspected of leaking information."

The Tea Party Room is the only place you can get in and out of even near Arlensbach. By the way, they're going to be staying overnight at the Hillsur lab if they don't get permission at Aerenfest. If I were to stay in the lab, it would undoubtedly be all night with Hillsur and research stories, so it said I wanted to avoid it if possible.

... If the research story gets exciting and you start researching for a long time, you're going to blow your graduation escort out of your mind.

"What else could I possibly need besides a bench? If you're going to spend the night in a long chair in the tea party room, I want to make sure that Ferdinand is at least a little more comfortable and relaxed."

When I was thinking, Richarda smiled bitterly.

"I also think we need to prepare the crate for collision and luggage, but I won't leave the preparation around there to the side. More importantly, remember to add that when writing your reply, the princess asks you to bring a storage box to add your dish. Let the castle cook make it and let me carry it."

I guess Richarda is also looking forward to the few opportunities to meet with her son Justkus. You look very tense. Students are busy preparing for territorial rivalries, so getting ready to welcome Ferdinand will start Richarda and mobilize the side services that are accompanying the students.

"Dear Rosemayne, this is a letter from Arlensbach."

"Thank you, Philine. Filine and the others need to get ready to present their research."

"Yes. Good luck and I'll remember the graph"

The reply from Ferdinand said that, although I don't mind using the graph, it should only be to the extent that my civilian apprentices can fully understand it. Being a Lordship candidate, I must prioritize socialization, so the announcement will be made by the civilian apprentices. We must be able to deal with any questions we receive about the graph.

To add, the announcement to use the graph still seems to be a breakthrough, and there is also a risk that the graph will attract more attention than the original study.

... I don't think the royalty will get more attention than the rituals they attended.

With that in mind, I go to the concealed room with a letter.

"I'll be in the stash for a while."

Read back the reply written on the table, although I had Filine read it once. It also says a lot about collaborative research with Arlensbach. Although it took quite some time, the report via Flaurelm also seems to have reached Ferdinand's disposal.

... but there are more questions about Schwartz and his research than about the content of the joint research.

They're so hungry for research. Schwartz and his research throws round Hillsur, so I don't know what I'm familiar with. When Richarda's permission to go out comes out, you might want to check on the progress of the study and respond.

By the way, in glowing ink, he said, "Did you guide royalty to the library? You wouldn't have come in, would you? Then, what's going on with the joint research with Dunkelferger and Drevanhell? I broke the letter from you, but it's not like I'm doing anything I can't report." Ferdinand's appearance is already floating in his brain tonning his temples.

... Not good.

On second thought, I don't think I've sent out a letter since I guided the royal family to the library. Little things get bigger and bigger, so I didn't know how to write them.

... I did just have a little bit of a feeling because I don't want to get mad at you.

"Hmmm, do you honestly write now and get mad at me for territorial rivalry, or do you get mad at me for explaining when I meet you for territorial rivalry... Either way, it pisses you off, doesn't it? In the meantime, let's prioritize what seems praiseworthy"

When we meet again, first, get praise. Then let's explain what's going to piss me off. If you don't, you must be whispering all the way from reunion to goodbye.

I wrote down what seemed praiseworthy among what we all knew, without the use of glowing ink. There's nothing unusual about having a service ceremony in the House of Lords and donating magic to the royal family, or being able to use two staples, or working hard on a ditter with Dunkelferger.

"That's it. You never get mad at me for meeting you, do you? Yeah."

Tomorrow I'll have to go to the Hillsur lab and have a final meeting with Reimund for a research presentation or get a copy of the Schwartz and the others' research back.

"You don't have a lot of days anymore. We have to work hard."
