Ascendance of a Bookworm

Beginning of territorial rivalry (three years)

"Done! How about this, Master Rosemaine?

Immediately before lunch, which held back the territorial rivalry the next day, Ignaerts and Marianne came out of the mixing room with their magic equipment. A number of civilian apprentices emerge from behind the two.

"Don't Look"

Marianne set the paper with the score, turned the steering wheel and played the sound like an orgol. Ignaerts combines a nanosave paper with an improved small transfer team and sends a book to the bookcase to show us.

"There are a number of things we would like to improve on, but if we exhibit it as a prototype, isn't that the point?

Exactly. We need a little more time to improve this, and they don't have enough magic or material. They mainly worked with the civilian apprentices. Vilfleet and Charlotte also look a little tired, but they all look full of accomplishments.

"I think it's great. You've often taken shape in this short period of time."

"Yeah, really. Advanced aristocracy is amazing. Because even if I can give some advice or suggestions from Rosemayne or Reimndt's research, I can't formulate them."

Filine, who was caged in the mixing room with me, sees the Ignats with a look of respect. Since there are differences in the formulations that can be made by the amount of magic, there appear to be many formulations that cannot be made in the lower aristocratic filine.

"We use a lot of magic in lectures while in the House of Lords, so we want to compress it as much as possible between spring and autumn..."

"In the meantime we will increase our magic more"

Ignaerts laughed challengingly, saying the Philinees couldn't beat him. At this rate, I hope everyone improves their magic.

"Is it okay to practice the announcement?

"... I will do it now. But unlike what we've studied so far, I think it's okay because it's something we thought about and made ourselves."

Instead of trying to make an incomprehensible announcement about the advanced formulations and magic implements that several of Drevanhel are co-creating, they don't have to worry about the announcement because it's an explanation of the magic implements they've created from scratch with their own hands.

"Dear Rosemayne, I'd like you to tell me a little bit about the Aerenfest paper. within the limits of what you can announce."

I was pleased to accept Marianne's request and in the afternoon we worked together to finish a joint study with Drevanhel.

Since I was in the dorm all day, it seemed that the knight apprentices were able to train all day.

"Katorkar began to arrive from Aerenfest. I'll take you to the conference room."

Side by side with Brunhilde's voice The apprentices begin to move together. Looks like the cattle curls and cookies we were asking for from the Ottomar Chamber of Commerce began to arrive during the transfer. He decides that putting it out against the territory will revolve around baked confectionery that can be made and placed. That's just too many visitors, so we can't just handle the kitchen in the dorm.

"The kitchen in the castle will be very busy by now."

I'm asking the castle cook to give it to Ferdinand. The busy atmosphere, both there and here, is filled with excitement before the festival and brings my mind to life.

"Dear Rosemaine, I have received two volumes of the Fernestine story with Katorkar. You promised Master Hannelore, didn't you? Shall I let you know at Ordnants?

Rezelator brought me a crate with a Fernestine story. Muriella said, "Well!" I raised my voice and let my green eyes shine, but the civilian apprentices will be in trouble if they don't prioritize their preparations for tomorrow.

"I'll send it from me. Muriella won't be here long after the territorial rivalry. I haven't even read it yet."

"The princess will keep it until the territorial rivalry is over."

Richarda stabs me with a big nail, and I have no choice but to reply, "Ha, ha." "I'd like to read it quickly," Muriella and I made quite a point of getting ready.

Upon informing Hannelore of the arrival of the Fernestine story, Hannelore received a reply from a bounced voice saying, "I look forward to it".

The morning of Aerenfest's territorial rivalry begins with a sweet smell. In the kitchen, sandwiches and soup-like breakfasts are made, and confectionery making begins immediately.

After finishing breakfast earlier than usual, each of the students began to move to prepare for a territorial rivalry. The side-service apprentices give instructions to the downworkers to carry out the confectionery that was placed in the conference room one after the other. The knight apprentices competing in Ditter are doing their last practice, and the junior knight apprentices who do not compete are attached to the guard of the Lordship Candidate.

"Well, let's leave, too"

Wilfried and Charlotte, who spoke to the civilian apprentices, begin to move. I wanted to help set up the venue, too, but they said, "I'm anxious for junior cavalier apprenticeships when Rosemaine moves".

"I can't predict how those in the small and medium-sized territories who have been intruding on ditters with Dunkelferger will move. I'm asking you to bring more knights from the Knights as escort knights for Mr. and Mrs. Aub, so stay in the dorm until we get there."

That's all they say, and I can't say I want to go. I said, "Okay. Please get ready," Wilfried and Charlotte say, dropping off the civilian apprentices. I have no choice but to avoid danger, but I feel somewhat out of company lonely.

No one is in or out of the dorm in a busy manner to prepare, but no one is in the multi-purpose hall anymore. Staring at the cancerous multi-purpose hall, Richarda gently laid her hand on my shoulder as she cared.

"Princess, could you confirm the tea party room? 'Cause I'm ready so Master Ferdinand and Justkus can rest."

"I'm coming."

I went with Richarda to the tea party room. You can enter the Tea Party Room through the door closest to the stairs leading to the kitchen. Gachari and the key were unlocked, and Richarda opened the door. The Tea Party Room is quite large, as can be seen from the fact that delegates were invited from all the territories to tea parties in freshman year. That was roughly divided into three parts in a collision, as if it were a personal room.

"Farthest from the entrance, at the far back, Master Ferdinand has prepared a bench for sleeping. As the princess said, it was delivered from Aerenfest."

It's the mattress bench I was ordering from Zach. Though they showed difficulty because it's tough to get it delivered from Aerenfest on purpose, it should be a lot more comfortable sleeping than sleeping side by side with a cushion on a bench that just put a cloth on the board. I pressed and checked with my hand that the mattress was properly in, and I nodded contentedly.

"We have a futon for this crate. Explain it to Justkus and he'll be ready. There will be a lot of checks in front of Arlensbach."

In addition to the crate containing the futon, just beside the bench, magic equipment is carried in to light chests and lights for packing, and the perimeter of the bench is surrounded by collisions.

"I can't put a canopy on it, but if there's a clash like this, it seems a little easier for Master Ferdinand to rest as well"

There is also a chair for the side service to refrain from falling asleep, and the deepest part is a space for complete rest. In the middle there is a table and chairs. I suppose you're assuming we dine together. The number of chairs is high.

"Aub and the students are supposed to eat and work together on the meal after the territorial rivalry, so they say it's Wilfried Boy and the princess who have dinner here. After dinner, Mr. Zilvester will join us."

The next moment my heart bounced on being able to have dinner with me, I realized the possibility of being preached throughout the meal. We need the means to avoid preaching. I would like to bring up the topic of research as Brother Eckhardt told me before and avoid preaching again this time.

"Richarda, I would also like to give to Master Ferdinand the materials deposited by Dr. Hirshur. Prepare some paper and ink."

"Yes, I am."

That's Richarda. There doesn't seem to be a drain. Let's study the subject of meals. Ferdinand seemed hungry for research, too, and that must be the best part.

"And then this one, closest to the door, is the rest place nearby."

Crates and futons for placing luggage are prepared but a lot simpler compared to the space for Ferdinand to rest. Is it good for the rest of the people of the other land?

"Master Eckhardt, a knight, or Justkus, who flutters here and there on his own, can sleep outside, and the proximity to accompanying him from Arlensbach will be nervous and very unsleep"

If you're from Aerenfest, you can easily get in and out of the dorm in the tea party room, and there's no side of Aerensbach you can sleep in, says Richarda. For the Ferdinands, even in their homeland, where there are those who can be trusted, but not for those of Arlensbach.

"So we don't need so much preparation for the neighbors to rest. Instead, after breakfast, someone else will be there to pick up the graduate, so this one made it a priority to make it easier to travel and not to feel as alive as possible.

As Ferdinand picks up Dietrinde, there are others in Aerenfest who come to pick him up. As soon as Ferdinand and the others finish breakfast, they have to be ready so they can welcome guests.

"You thought about it a lot. Thank you, Richarda. Tell them I was thanking the others."

"Yes, sir."

I went back to the multi-purpose hall, making sure I was ready for one.

"Good day, Master Rosemaine"

It was time for graduate parents to continue coming from the transition formation. It is the usual sight that fathers and brothers head to the stadium where the rivalry takes place so as to barely walk through the dormitories in vibrant costumes. With that in mind, I saw Brother Cornelius, Angelica and Haltmut in the shadows that came out of the transfer formation. All three of them are in the same costume as the rest of us.

"Good morning, Master Rosemaine"

"Why did the three of us go to the House of Lords?

"I'm here to see what my fiancée does. Besides, I have to report to Clarissa's family that the situation has changed again and get my forgiveness back."

It is likely that you will be told to dissolve your engagement because you have become a cleric chief. Because of me, Haltmoot laughed when he thought, "It's not something Lady Rosemaine cares about."

"Given that Zent participated in the service ceremony conducted by Master Rosemayne, and that the divine affairs were reviewed, I don't think there is any hard opposition. Plus, because where they disagree, Clarissa will come to Aerenfest alone. We need to talk about it, including how it works around here."

"... that sounds like it does need to be discussed"

Remembering the momentum of Clarissa, I laughed softly. Measures will be needed first, as it is likely to plunge into Aerenfest with a swine rush.

"Is Brother Cornelius also your fiancée's support?

gaze with laughter as I tease. If you're here to support your fiancée, it wouldn't be an attitude toward escort knights today, but a family-friendly response would be good.

"Has Brother Cornelius come to see Leonore's work?

"They say to increase the number of dressed escorts that can be disputed around in such pre-construction"

Brother Cornelius told me that I would see Leonore's work with Rosemayne, and I was a little happy. I have to tell you plenty about how Leonore worked so hard this year.

"... I understand you two came to the House of Lords. But Angelica doesn't have a fiancée in the House of Lords, does she?

"We're going to see if Traugot has gained the strength his fiancée deserves."

Angelica, who has decided to get engaged to her uncle if Traugot doesn't get stronger, said that with a little sadness. If you think in the eyes of a third party, Traugot is better suited for his age than his already elderly uncle marries Angelica. But in Angelica's eyes, strength matters. Traugot is no match for his uncle at all.

"... escaped the study of remembering the names of the gods in front of the building, Angelica said"

That's what Brother Cornelius said with his shoulders clasped with a frightened face. The interests of Angelica, who wants to escape the study at all, and her uncle, who just wants to avoid his daughter-in-law of his age with his grandson, seem beautifully matched.

"Angelica, with the protection of the gods, you will be strong. … at the very least, the Supreme God and the Great God of the Five Pillars, and then just remember the name of God who wants your protection"

"If that's all, I'll do my best."

He's a little motivated. Yose Brenner's Lulu Lady has been praying to the budding goddess for a long time and gained protection. For one thing, we must start from where we pray remembering the name of God who desires to gain protection.

"Speaking of which, is Darmuel leaving a message?

I can't only see Darmuel in the vicinity. Until the three of us could travel in the transfer formation, so I asked him if he was coming later, and Brother Cornelius shook his head.

"There's also a reason why it's just right to monitor the movements of the old Veronicans because they're good at detecting magic, because Darmuel didn't have a pre-built to come to the House of Lords"

"I advised her that even a lover attending the House of Lords should make it, but lamented that it was impossible to decide that,"

In the words of Haltmoot, I say, no! and breathed. Wouldn't Darmuel's glass heart be shattered if he told me that?

"Haltmoot, don't bully Darmuel with such a refreshing smile! To Darmuel, who can't have a lover and can't get married, boast that she's going to go watch her fiancée work, and if she wants to go, make a lover, how awful!

I can't even complain about Haltmut, a senior aristocrat, and the way Darmuel mourns comes to my attention. When I complained in place of Darmuel, Hartmoot looked at me with a small laugh, without any reflection at all.

"I advised Darmuel because he thinks he can handle it if he cares about it. Isn't it worse, Master Rosemaine, who is deciding from his head that he can't have a lover?

"Ah!?

... maybe it does. I'm sorry, Darmuel. I made up my mind, as Hartmoot said. I had to believe that even Darmuel could do it if he cared about it. Lord, you're disqualified.

From now on, let's believe in Dermuel and leave the marriage to Dermuel himself. If you care about that, you must be able to have a lover and a marriage.

When I thought so, I was slightly poked in the head with a trick from behind.

"Problem daughter, have you been quiet today?

Looking back, my adoptive father was looking down at me. I have a bear under my eyes and my cheeks are spilling a little. She doesn't look very good either. I wonder how hard it is after Solemn Qing.

"My adoptive father, it's been a long time. … you look very tired."

"Whose fault do you think it is? When we get back to Aerenfest, it's a gutsy sermon."

And it came to pass, and I breathed, when they said so, with an urchin and a poke on my cheek. This is going to be a pretty big thunder.

"Um, should I give Master Ferdinand's recovery pills for fatigue recovery?

"Are you going to stab me in the face?

As for this one, I offered with care, but I was stared at with swordswallowing eyes.

"I'm not going to give you another medicine that tastes like stabbing a stop. I'm a gentle person who drinks easily. I still have it ready for distribution at the service ceremony..."

"Now it's good because if I take recovery pills, I'll be attacked by drowsiness. If you're ready, let's go."

With a gentle slap on my shoulder, I looked around unexpectedly. The knights of the Knights have arrived from between the transfer formations, but there is no sign of their adoptive mother. Besides, the knight attached to your adoptive father's escort was not your father either.

"What happened to your adoptive father, adoptive mother or father? I don't see you..."

"When the numbers fall toward the territorial rivalry, he leaves Calstead and Bonifatius to be away because of what might be the only move for the old Veronicans.... Florencia looked like she was about to collapse in the middle of a territorial rivalry, like the others, so I've offered to sleep"

"Huh!? So, are you okay?!?

I've never seen my adoptive mother look like that, always smiling peacefully. When I raised my voice unexpectedly, my adoptive father shook his head, "I have no choice but to rest".

"Territorial rivalries with lots of interaction with other territories and heavy burdens are absent.... I'm going to go back tomorrow morning to see how things are going, and if it looks ok, I'm going to put you in line for graduation. Maybe we could do this if we just sat and watched graduation."

I had a hiccup visitor and I had experience last year of being chased all day to deal with it. It is predicted that this year there will also be more visits to the territories that have experienced the service ceremony. It is not something that can be done in a very ill state.

"This year they and I will socialize together and put together Charlotte with Wilfried. One problem after another. I have a headache just thinking about what kind of visitors there are"

"... sorry"

I will hurry to get ready and head to the venue where the territorial rivalry will take place with my closest friends and my adoptive father, and with all the Knights who protect my adoptive father. On the road he conveyed everyone's hard work in collaborative research and ditters, and had today's social meetings.

"Confirm cloak and brooch"

There were several central knights in black cloaks at the entrance to the venue of the territorial rivalry, confirming the cloaks and brooches of those entering and leaving. It appears to be because the terrorists who attacked us last year broke into the House of Lords with a brooch of demonic stones in Berkeshtock.

I was with Aub, so I went right in with just a single confirmation.

The Central Knights are also positioned here and there in the venue, giving it a much more vivid vibe than last year. Many have a cozy look on their faces at the security attitude that the knights in the black cape glare at. This precarious state must continue until someone discovers the magic of Berkeshtock's foundations or Zent finds Gluthrithheit.

"Rosemayne, where's Aerenfest's place?

"The Aerenfest place is where lots of bright loess cloaks are gathered. I was told to stay in the dorm until the Knights of Aerenfest arrived, so I didn't take a trip to the venue."

At the end of the day, when the knights surround us because we are also low in height, we do not see the surroundings at all. My adoptive father said, "I see. You used to take safety precautions," he said, walking a little satisfied.

"It's not me there, praise Brother Wilfried. I was going to set it up."

"... be more concerned for your own safety"

When the cloak of various shades walked in twinkling and arrived at Aerenfest's location, it was already ready.

"This way, please."

Brunhilde leads me to my seat. So my adoptive father told me about my adoptive mother's absence and how to deal with it today.

"Is your mother okay, such as not being able to socialize?

"Maybe I can get out tomorrow. I don't need to worry so much, but if today's socialization ends in failure, Florencia will care. Do it right."

"Yes."

Wilfried and Charlotte sit together, and I am with my adoptive father. My adoptive father made me install a chair in the position where he would put my foot on, and he said, "Shut your mouth if you get stuck".

Behind us are the knights of Aerenfest. Haltmut, Brother Cornelius and Angelica are near me at the mercy of their father and brother.

"Apparently, Dunkelferger is the best person to come to this table. Looking at this one, it still looks like it's going to rush out."

That's what Brother Cornelius, who was looking around, said with a vigilant face. It is easy to observe because there is a place in Dunkelferger on the other side, either in front of the diagonal or across the arena. If you concentrate and look, you do see Aub and the knights on the line with the other realms and Hannelore grabbing Aub's blue cloak and trying to stop them.

...... Master Hannelore looks like a tough one. I'm glad I'm not Dunkelferger's kid.

When such a skinny woman approached Aub at Hannelore and Aub, wondering if she had said anything, Aub went back to the table amazingly. I think the skinny woman is probably the First Lady. Restylaut also sat at the table, and next to it I saw a woman with a familiar hair decoration. Is it my fiancée's girlfriend?

"Is that Master Ferdinand? You can see the color of Aerenfest in Aerensbach's cloak."

To the voice of Haltmoot I turn my gaze to the place of Ahrensbach next to Dunkelferger. A bright loess cloak solidified inside the vine-colored cloak. Ferdinand, Justkus, and Brother Eckhardt. Watch the three of them move as they put up with wanting to get themselves out.

Rymund with Schmir's stuffed animal was explaining it somehow hard where the research exhibit was on, and I could see Ferdinand holding up his temples. Yustokus is putting his hand on his mouth so he can laugh. Apparently, Schmir's stuffed animal is a lot better to take.

I also wanted to explain to Ferdinand with Reimund, but the location of Arlensbach on the other side of the stadium is terribly far away.

"Wouldn't Master Ferdinand be here, even with the Aerenfest cloak on?"

"I'm already in executive duty over there, and I need to promote my engagement this year. will come to greet"

My adoptive father replied to my whining. If you're coming to say hello, I think I'll have a chance to give you Heishitze's cape. When I saw the crate that Richarda was preparing, I loosened my cheeks.

"Now do the ditter than this! Down from called territory!

Territorial rivalry begins at the same time as Ditter's declaration of initiation by Rufen. There is a declaration of the number one Classenburg, and the territory in which the ditters are the most called.

At the same time I could see a group of Dunkelfergers starting to walk. It's across the street, so I can't come here unless I go around big, but it's the First Lady who's gracefully walking the lead, accompanied by Hannelore, who's walking a little early.

... Is that it? What about Aub Dunkelferger?

Aub, who was about to pop out now, apparently stays with Restylaut. Stay seated.

... If they say Ditter again, I'll be in trouble, huh?

As I leaned my neck, the side-service apprentices began to prepare for Dunkelferger's visit, and his adoptive father corrected his posture.

"Don't blur, Rosemaine. Coming.... I'm pretty sure this request is for Dunkelferger to give up his offer to marry him and refuse Lady Hannelore's dowry?

"Yes!"

As for the Aerenfest side, I don't want any more trouble, so the rubbing of the opinion that Dunkelferger would be fine if he didn't press for the engagement to be dissolved is made up of exchanges of reports and letters.

"Vilfleet, Charlotte. Here we start Dunkelferger and play the upper realm opponent. Others ask for other guests."

Wilfried and Charlotte nodded loudly in his adoptive father's voice.

Hartmoot will check the paper and ink with the civilians, and Brother Cornelius and Angelica will be in an easy position to escort.

"Good day, Aub Aerenfest"

The First Lady of Dunkelferger smiled and stood forward. Although the same red eyes as Hannelore are narrowed to the shape of a smile, I can see those eyes observing this one still.

Ditter, I had a completely different scare than Aub Dunkelferger, who calls me Ditter. Tense and feeling my throat dry, me and my adoptive father stand once to greet each other and recommend their seats. The First Lady and Hannelore took their seats.

"About printing, about books, about rituals… There's a lot I'd like to talk about, but first let's talk about Ditter the other day"

The First Lady smiled.
