Ascendance of a Bookworm

Disciples of Gutenberg

I took Melchior to a table where my fathers would sit, stating that he was the son of a lord and the next temple chief, and that he would exchange views with the soldiers as his successor.

"Will Lady Melchior take over after Lady Rosemaine has grown up? That's comforting. This is how we talk to Master Rosemaine here, making it easier to work with the Lords and the Knights. So did this winter, and we were helped the other day when other lords came to the West Gate."

After saying so, my father shifted his gaze from me to Darmuel, who stood behind me.

"Since there are few opportunities to thank you in person, may I thank Master Dermuel on this occasion?

"Of course I don't mind..."

When I looked back and looked up at Darmuel, Darmuel just turned into a slightly troubled face, with no more words. My father isn't the only one watching Darmuel, he's among the other soldiers. The soldiers rose up once and knelt before me and Darmuel.

"You said it was Master Rosemaine's order, but all the soldiers in the lower town are grateful to Master Dermuel. Thank you."

... What the hell happened?

Confused by the gratitude I do not know, I compare Darmuel to Angelica. It's no use expecting Angelica. "I don't know," it says on this face smiling.

"Gunter, what did Darmuel do?

"I just did my job, Master Rosemaine"

"But you helped the soldiers downtown, didn't you?

Wouldn't it be natural for the Lord to want to know if there was a story about Darmuel working? I turned my gaze to my father. Dad starts talking in silence and worrying about how Darmuel looks like he wants him to be.

"There was an order to prevent the escape of nobles at the North Gate in the winter. The Knights gave me some magic equipment that even soldiers could use, and the magic equipment to call for rescue was enough to be handed out to everyone. But when the gates are sealed, the nobles will use the horseman, and sending a magic rescue signal won't bring immediate rescue to the North Gate on the edge of the aristocratic city."

Solemn Qing and the majority of the Knights are in motion. Although there are always two knights at the North Gate, it is difficult to stop many nobles trying to escape alone. In such a situation, Dermuel seems to have rushed me the best.

"I was at the temple to prepare for the service ceremony, so it was only close to the North Gate."

Darmuel said so humbly, but Darmuel seemed very comforting when he was attacked from behind the nobles trying to flee when two knights and civilian soldiers were desperately guarding the North Gate.

"Thanks to this, the soldiers at the North Gate just had to have a few minor injuries. Besides, even when you were at the West Gate, it was Master Dermuel who rushed you the most to clean things up. The soldiers are grateful."

I didn't expect Darmuel to get that much gratitude and trust from the soldiers down town. With admiration I told the soldiers to sit back in their seats.

Then, listening to the recent downtown story, this one also tells Grechelle's reform is going to take place and that a big job will ensue with it to the craftsmen. Merhior was listening with interest.

Seems like a lot of time had passed while I was listening to the soldiers. "If you're late for dinner, you're going to break your promise to your father," rises Melchior, slapped nearby.

"Sister Rosemaine, I learned so much today"

"I saw Merhior trying to absorb all sorts of things. I'm glad, too. Give this to the hard-working Merhior. It's an amulet magic kit."

The amulets of Vilfleet and Charlotte have been deposited with Filine so that she can give them to me before I leave for the prayer ceremony.

"Thank you. And I'll tell your father about the soldiers from me, too. Now if you'll excuse me."

I want you to make sure you're able to raise the report properly, leaving Melhior busily riding home on his side of the horseman.

... Hey, isn't Merhior too firm? Was I able to behave like a properly respected sister?

Would you have given me the majesty of being your sister? With a little anxiety I dropped off Merhior.

Then, the next morning, send out a carriage carrying your side and cooks as usual, and drop off the carriage ridden by the grey clerics returning to Aerenfest.

"I am grateful to all the soldiers who provide escorts. Thank you."

I let my father hold a small bag with two pieces of money and a amulet in his hand with such words. My father seemed to notice a feeling other than silver coins, "I'm afraid," he thankfully hides in his nostrils. Mother and Touri already have the same amulet. Ask the two of you and you'll know how to use it, and who the other amulet is for.

While I keep my father's movements at the edge of my sight, I give the soldiers the usual travel allowance. Dad said, "Here, don't get distracted! We're not done with the job yet," he said, taking a carriage escort while scolding the soldiers who loosen their cheeks to travel allowances.

"I will send you to the temple."

"Nice to meet you, Gunter"

Even in a short exchange, I'm happy to be able to talk to each other this way. I dropped off my father as he escorted the carriage and headed to the next winter hall.

As soon as I return to the Temple after the prayer ceremony for my share of the charge, I will contact the Plantan Chamber of Commerce. I had a little fever so I had scheduled a rest day for three days to recover my strength, but after two days off I almost recovered. I think I've become very sturdy. It's not like me anymore.

... I slept on the prayer ceremony road only three times. Ugh.

"Dear Rosemayne, the Gutenbergs have arrived. We have also almost finished transporting our luggage from the workshop. Get ready."

After receiving a report from Gill, I head from the conference room to the main entrance. In the conference room there was a gathering of civilians from my side and printing relations who accompanied me to Kilnberga. Side services are Lieselator and Gretia, Civilians Haltmut and Lauderich, and Guardian Knights Cornelius and Leonore and Eudit. Since Eudit is from Kilnberga, he is to be accompanied by a homecoming treatment.

Darmuel and Angelica went around the direct jurisdiction at the prayer ceremony, so this time they are off, and Otilier and Filine are the clerks to suppress Clarissa. To be honest, I wanted Haltmoot to be in the temple, but when I realized it, it was all round.

... Hartmoot is right that some senior civilian should be there, but that doesn't make any sense.

And Muriella is also to accompany her as her mother's civilian, along with Henrik, a junior civilian in printing relations who has already become familiar with her face. The knowledge of printing relations studied in the House of Lords seems to be useful, above all.

"Dear Rosemayne, I did my best this time."

Eudit speaks to me as I rock the orange ponytail.

"Ever since Gutenberg decided to move to Kilnberga, I've been gathering information from Brunhilde and Leonore to ask Geebe Kilnberga to get the environment ready through Theodore."

I laughed like Eudit was good at saying that. He was sending information to Kilnberga about things that were difficult and preparations that weren't enough in Risegang and Grechelle.

"Without an environment in which the civilian craftsmen can work well, it would be Guibe's fault to tell Brunhilde that Guibe Kilnberga has also helped."

It's not like Gutenberg's teaching methods and tools to bring in are worse than they have already succeeded in Ilkner and Haldenzel. He told Brunhilde that it would matter to what extent the accepting side was ready. The hard work of trying to bring the printing industry to Grechel seems to have had a lot of impact on Brunhilde.

"The environment for Gutenberg to work is in place"

"It's great, Eudit. That's very comforting."

I let go and praise Eudit, who stretched his chest. Aerenfest will be much better if there are more who will thus bridge between civilians and nobility.

When I went out to the front entrance, I saw a lot of baggage and Gutenberg and the others kneeling in a sloppy line ahead of Benno. After Benno greets him on behalf of him, he turns his gaze behind him.

"Dear Rosemayne, allow me to introduce you to the Gutenberg disciples who will accompany you for the first time. And please do not bless the encounter of the goddess of water, Fruitlène, guided by the sober flow."

I look around at all who are kneeling. It will be the disciples who are holding back behind the Gutenbergs. It's a feeling reminiscent of when I met Johann and Zach, the boys from before and after adulthood.

"Ingo."

Ingo the woodworker and his disciple rose to Benno's call.

"Dear Rosemaine, this is my disciple Dimo. I've been involved in creating printing presses since the beginning, so I know very well."

When I looked closely at Dimo's face, I knew right away because there was a shadow. He's one of the people in the workshop who was with Ingo when he introduced the printing press to the Rosemaine workshop and the Little Temple of Hasse.

"Dimo, right? I remember when I made my first printing press in the temple workshop, I polished the board very carefully so that my hands and fingers wouldn't get scratched even if I touched them. I knew Ingo was eyeing you, but you were able to leave it to me to travel."

He didn't seem to think I remembered his face, and neither Ingo nor Dimo would look surprised. It wouldn't be that surprising. As much as you made my printing press for the first time, it's something I remember along with inspiration.

"I gave Dimo the blueprint for the printing press. I also taught you the procedure and how to get along with the workshop on the new land, so I think it's okay. As Lady Rosemayne asked, I will focus on my work here."

"Yep. It will be up to the artisans of the woodworking workshops everywhere to do their best to leave it to Ingo. It's mine alone. I expect it from Ingo."

We have to get the library bookshelves made, but we also have to get them to participate in the interior competition for Grechelle's luxury accommodation, in which a number of workshops participate. The woodworking workshop is very busy this year for Grechelle's Entvickern, which will take place in the fall.

"Dimo, nice to meet you"

"I'll do my best to be recognized as Gutenberg, too."

It seems motivated and above all. When I nodded lightly, Benno called out "Joseph". Ingo and Dimo kneel, and Joseph and his disciple rise.

"Dear Rosemayne, it's Horace. I'll have Heidi and I take my place."

Horace is totally new to each other. It's a face I've never even seen when I went to Heidi's Ink Workshop. I'm separate from the craftsmen I was working with Heidi on her exuberant research.

"I chose Horace by weighing in on the fact that those who don't behave too casually immersed in research in Kilnberga. It's perfectly fine for teaching me how to make ink, but I'm not the one who stuffs roots and develops new ink, like Heidi. If you give me some Kilnberga material, I'll do research at Aerenfest."

It's dangerous to send researchers like Heidi alone, so this time they chose someone who could fit in with the rest of Gutenberg without Joseph. Looks like you still have a lot of hard work.

"Congratulations to Heidi on her pregnancy, Joseph. Could Heidi be a little quiet, too?

"Thank you"

If Heidi was as quiet as she had a child, she would go to Kilnberga herself, and Joseph looks pretty tired. Heidi seems to be in excellent shape even during her pregnancy. He came to greet me again today, but "pregnant women are hated by the temple," Joseph and Rutz desperately stopped.

"Horace, don't forget to sleep and immerse yourself in researching ink for Joseph, or run off like Heidi, and finish working for Kilnberga."

When I laughed small, Horace nodded, "Okay," loosening his tense face only slightly. Joseph told me that Horace was in the position that he would never be recognized as a Gutenberg companion who was not achieving results in the new ink development.

"Dear Rosemayne, this is Cead. My skill drops a step from Danilo, but I chose someone with a personality that seemed to hold between Johann and Kilnberga's artisans."

When Joseph and Horace finish their greetings, Zach and his disciple Cead rise. It is Johann's support that teaches you how to make metal typescripts that are imposed on a crowded atmosphere cead. When we become stubborn and silent artisans, we get a lot of clashes, or a hell of a crack due to disagreement. Supporting roles are a must in order to work a little smoothly in a short period of about six months.

"To be honest, I think I'd be better off here to help Master Rosemayne."

Zach, whose ideas and design skills are jumping through, wants to focus more on new designs and inventions than on supporting Johann's relationships. I had Zach accompany me for a facial connection to the nobility because it's Gutenberg, but if you think about the right material, it would be more efficient to have Zach invest in the design at Aerenfest.

"... so should I ask Zach for something new? Oh, you can't. I'm busy getting ready for marriage this year and I'm staying downtown. Let's do a new invention next year. We'll celebrate a lot on the day, so be sure to get ready for a new life this year"

For the first time in Gutenberg, there will be a man to marry. We must celebrate with all our hearts. "I boast to my people that it is a blessing from Master Rosemayne," Zach chuckled in my words.

"Ceado, you don't usually get to see the skill of a craftsman working in another workshop, do you? I think this will be a very good opportunity. Absorb a lot of things you can't learn here in Lower Town."

"Yes."

Johann and Danilo were the last to stand up. Danilo is new to accompanying him on business trips, but he knows because he was on the subject when it comes to his name and its growth.

"Dear Rosemaine, it's Danilo. I'm taking you as my apprentice to take over."

"Danilo can now make all the metal typescripts, too."

He said he couldn't get a pass, but if he was going to accompany him to Kilnberga, he would have scored a pass for making metal typescripts. Johan nodded at my words.

"I'm going to try to get Danilo to do as much as possible this time, and I'm going to try to educate Cead in the back, while keeping an eye on him."

I can see that Johann, who was focused solely on harnessing his skills and enhancing them, also thinks a lot to develop his disciples. I nodded as I felt the growth around me.

"It doesn't matter how many highly skilled blacksmiths there are. Danilo and Sead education, good luck. Johan is the oldest of the blacksmiths."

Johann, who had left Zach to negotiate with the others, nodded cocklessly after being stuck in words for a long time. I turn my gaze to Danilo.

"Danilo's growth has been heard from Johann and Zach. Please brush your arms as my exclusive."

"Ever since Grechelle's craftsman arrived, I had hoped to go somewhere else myself. I'll do my best because you're finally going to take me as an adult!

Danilo, who answered that with a hazy voice, had a much different atmosphere than Johann, who was a park and less spoken artisan.

But that concludes my introduction to the new facial rash. I will distribute amulets to the neighbors and the Gutenbergs, including the junior civilians on the spot. A magical amulet for nobles and civilians is something else.

"It's an amulet for everyone who works hard. Now get ready to leave"

Get out the larger Lesser Bus and have them start loading their luggage. Following the instructions of Gutenberg, to which I am accustomed, my first disciples carry their luggage to the Lesser Bus. I see a moment of hesitation, but I guess it's because I'm still listening to all sorts of stories that don't make a big fuss.

Carrying in my luggage wasn't a fuss, but it got a little fussy when I jumped out. It was the first time he noticed that he didn't like the high places. Danilo stormed out screaming without a voice.

I'm wearing a seat belt, and Johann was holding my head in saying, "If so, don't look outside," so it wasn't really a big fuss.

"It's Eudit. It's time to arrive."

Eudit in the passenger seat flies the Ordnants towards his brother Theodore in Kilnberga. "I'm already ready," Theodore replied. By the time I arrived, I could see the summer hall in Kilnberga.

"There it is. He seems to be waiting for me at the clergy's departure."

When we arrived at the Summer Hall in Ghibe Kilnberga, a lot of people were waiting ahead of us, Ghibe Kilnberga and the two printing clerks. Geebe Kilnberga is a man with an atmosphere of knighthood to see. He's disappointed and big, and he looks a little harsh. Seems like the last person who said that the previous Geebe Kilnberga should be Aub, and under the influence of his father, I have heard that he has the greatest respect for his uncle.

... that means brain muscle?

At the end of his greeting, Geebe Kilnberga gives instructions to Fran, Monica, and the civilians beside him to guide the cooks to the clergy's detachment and to guide the Gutenbergs downtown.

"We hear there's a lot of luggage, so we want to get the Gutenbergs to the lower town first, and then we want to have an exchange on the Little Holy Grail and a discussion about the printing society later. How about that?

"It's helpful to be able to see the environment the Gutenbergs spend with their own eyes. Thank you for all your consideration."

As Fran and the others make sure they carry their baggage away, the reseller arrives. Rezelator and Gretia hoped to remain in the summer hall to tidy up my room. The lower workers in Kilnberga are asked to carry their luggage, and the resellers and the Greater Tier are guided to the hall.

"Well, let's go downtown."

The lower town of Kilnberga looked very large and populous when travelling by Lesser Bus. But it seems that there are quite a few people who actually live there. There are so many empty houses that you can always do it if you want to live elsewhere, Gibe Kilnberga laughed.

Of course I have no complaints about the house being prepared. Gutenberg and the others unload their bags to the workshop where they will live and where they will work. The grey clerics, including Gill, were also carrying loads. Even if I took off my clergy clothes, I was floating a little in downtown because of the polite and beautiful motion.

... I'm familiar with it by the time I pick you up.

"It's such a big town, I didn't think it had many residents. Is there a reason?

I asked Ghibe Kirnberga to crush the time while the Gutenbergs were unloading their luggage. Geebe Kilnberga looked down at me with the same eyes as he looked at his grandson, and replied, 'Because the border gates have been closed, Master Rosemaine'.

"Until the border gates were closed, this was a very big town. They said the deal was booming, people were coming and going, and it was busy. I hear it wasn't Aerenfest at the time, it was a big territory with the name Eisenreich."

"... I was taught the history of Aerenfest, but I didn't know that the name Eisenreich was a great territory, just heard of it."

The fact that the names of the territories were different meant that the border gates of Kilnberga were closed more than 200 years ago. Unlike all the other border gates you can't open because of the loss of Gluthris Heights. I felt a magnificent story in the sound of a border gate sealed by a long old Zent, and I felt my breasts bounce.

... What shall I do? I'm getting a little excited.

"What used to happen and the border gates closed?

It was at the same time that I looked up excitedly and Lutz came to report, "I'm done carrying my baggage," he said. Geebe Kilnberga laughs and shakes his head with a hoot.

"I heard from Eudit that Master Rosemayne is interested in border gates. When you're done talking about printing, let's take you to the border gates. It would be more interesting to talk about it there."

... notebook, I have to get ready!

I smiled and nodded as I leapt my heart into the atmosphere where stories I didn't know were about to come out.
