Ascendance of a Bookworm

Returning to the house of Geebe, I was just asked to produce the literature. It's just an old wooden plaque. I look lightly at it and write it down at best as I get help from Rhoderich and Haltmut as well.

Staying in Kilnberga is a short period of time until the discussions and arrangements between Benno and the civil servants have been concluded and the Gutenbergs have prepared their working environment. Civilians in charge of the printing industry are also accustomed to their work and the duration of their stay at Geebe's is getting shorter and shorter, so they have to be photographed in great haste.

The remaining literature was not the one in which the story was written, but, as the chronology suggests, a concise account of when and what happened, and what kind of life those who came from Bose Gates and were left behind and the nobles of former Eisenreich lived. Apparently, it's a copy of the report I'm sending to Zent.

... I knew it would feel different in the material that was written down as being conveyed in words.

The line of facts with no emotions in it looks a lot lighter than it is spoken in words. But I understood very well the movements of the Bose Gates, who barely came out in the history I was taught, nor in the history that Geebe told me.

The merchants come and go more frequently in the years when Aub Eisenreich is on the verge of rebellion, with the same merchants coming and going again and again between spring and autumn, as well as much more trade in food relations.

And since the Bose Gates merchants left behind could not have gained citizenship without so much riches, most seemed to have become travellers and scattered all over the place to get food to live.

... Without citizenship, you can't rent a house, a store, you can't get a job, you can't get married.

How many years ago was it? Otto tells me about the traveler's life. Perhaps Otto is a descendant of Bose Gates? With that in mind, I was writing a copy of the literature.

Finishing the literature safely during my stay, I return to the temple of Aerenfest with Benno as usual. I'll ask you to deliver a souvenir of material that you can't pick if it's not around Kilnberga to the ink workshop, and we'll also talk about the training of people from Grechelle, and drop Benno off.

That concludes my prayer ceremony.

"You accept the blue apprentices, so you may be busier after the prayer ceremony, Master Rosemaine."

"Alas, the thumps and frizz were at the centre, giving instructions to the new gray clerics to serve. You're ready to accept it, aren't you?

Zahm snorted bitterly at my words. Training for grey witches who are cooks and cooking assistants who have been dispatched through Frieda has already begun, and they're eating more orphanage meals. Since the purchase of food takes the form of a contract with the store where the Blue Apprentices' parents are staying, it seems that new vendors are entering and leaving the temple.

"Of course we have all the furniture and study tools. We also schedule a day so that we can all act as much as possible until we get used to the temple. Dear Philine has also given her opinion on what it takes to educate us as aristocratic children"

According to Zahm, while I was away at the prayer ceremony, Filine had taught the temple's side servants a lot.

"If you're ready, let the kids move. Tomorrow the temple will be busy."

He wanted to welcome the blue apprentices when his eyes reached him, so he had them waiting in the children's room until the prayer ceremony was over. I sent Ordnants to the castle and asked them to be able to move the children in the carriage.

... the kids are good with this. And then...

"Well, Brother Cornelius. What's going on with Brother Wilfried?

Asking about Wilfried, who could not be questioned in Geebe's Hall where he did not know who was listening, the nervousness ran just a moment tingly on the side that was there. Even if I don't change my expression, I feel like the air has changed.

"Maybe, as Geebe Kilnberga said, Risegang is confusing you?

Brother Cornelius gave me an answer in a mild tone when he laughed a little and shook his neck sideways to erase my anxiety.

"I'm not confused by Risegang, I'm worried about my self-esteem and my duty."

... What's a plate of self-esteem and duty? I mean, what state?

"I think it's too abstract in that answer, but is there anything I can do? Brother Lamprecht said you needed help, didn't he?

I don't mind helping at a level that could be anything more than temple work, but I have no idea what I can do with this answer to help Vilfleet. Brother Cornelius flaunted his shoulders lightly in my words.

"To put it succinctly, I think it's best to leave Rosemayne alone because Master Wilfried has no choice but to fold himself"

"Leave me alone? So is that really good?... Brother Lamprecht said that?

Feeling like I was hiding something, I turn my gaze to Leonore, who should have gone with me after seeing Brother Cornelius with a slightly suspicious eye. Leonore smiled nicely.

"It seems that Aub had an opinion on the Risegang challenge, and that Aub had various grievances about marrying the Second Lady,"

I didn't tell my adoptive father directly, but he said he has a grievance that the neighbors are leaking.

"Sounds like they said a lot when Master Wilfried made his way to the Risegang Geebe at the prayer ceremony, as we had expected from the beginning. About turning Lady Rosemaine into the next Aub..."

I can easily imagine being told in aristocratic terms that I just disliked it farther away. The main aristocrats of the old Veronicans have been punished or turned away. I think Vilfleet, the only Lordship candidate raised by Veronica, would have had a tough hit on something.

"Though it was difficult on the schedule, perhaps I should have accompanied you when you said hello to Geebe. Could it have been a little shelter?

I might have managed if I had devised a recovery pill or a place to rest. When I said so, Brother Cornelius shook his neck beside his face, unwillingly.

"If Master Wilfried wants to be the next Aub, he has to be able to follow Risegang, so it makes no sense for Rosemayne to go out and shelter Master Wilfried. Don't you think that would raise Mr. Wilfried's profile?

"I know that's true, but I think just being together reduces obvious dislike."

Even Vilfleet's role in winning trust may reduce malice by accompanying him. Brother Cornelius raised his eyebrows slightly to my words.

"The blue clerics were down and understaffed, and Rosemaine, who was moving to critical health and schedule, isn't what bothered me. At the prayer ceremony, the Lordship Candidate could have gone around the direct jurisdiction and turned to say hello later, but it was Master Wilfried who said that he would go around Geebe territory to increase the number of face-to-face encounters with Geebe."

He comforts me that I am not sick, and although what I am saying is true, Brother Cornelius feels very harsh about Wilfried.

"So should I advise you that you don't need to raise your ratings from Risegang right now? Unlike my adoptive father, who must hasten to put together a territory that is solemnly clean and rattled, I think that would be good if Brother Wilfried had the support by the time he became Aub..."

No need to rush, would it make you feel a little easier if I told you? When I said so, Leonore turned into a troubled face.

"I don't think I need to get support right now either. But shouldn't we refrain from inadvertently contacting Master Rosemayne with Mr. Wilfried? It seems like a difficult time according to Richarda, so I'm worried that both will result in injury."

As Leonore's worries were poorly understood and his neck tilted, Haltmut opened his mouth to supplement.

"Leonore is worried that Rosemayne, who wants the next Aub from Risegang, will accept Risegang's support, even if she advises Wilfried that he doesn't need to rush it, without knowing if he will."

... Oh, you mean when I say even the advice I need, it's a word that touches my nerves?

The neighbors are worried with their mouths together. I'm sure Wilfried is in a throwing mood now without Risegang's support. I thought so and was convinced.

The next day a carriage arrived from the castle. Unlike during the tour, the kids come up the front entrance stairs without even showing how nervous they are. Shortly thereafter, Melchior also arrived at the temple aboard the nearby horseman.

"Now let's do the vow ritual in the temple chief's office"

It is a ritual in which I vow to serve God as a blue apprentice I also went. I performed the ritual with a little nervousness and gave him the blue coat. And announce the schedule of life in the temple.

Have breakfast with two bells. After breakfast, go to the Clerical Office with the side service and receive the work and assignments of the Temple from Haltmoot or his side service. At that time, we are to hear reports on the situation the day before, the progress of the assignment, etc. Then, to the three bells, he studied temple work and divinity with his side service in his own room.

When the three bells ring, head to the orphanage and teach Vilma and Rosina to practice and study seating at Feshpeel for everyone.

Lunch with four bells. In the afternoon, he will help with workouts, workshops, copies, etc., and study for the nobility needed to become a knight or civilian. Listening to a merchant in a workshop, studying yarn making and printing will also be an important study, and you can file an application in advance and go to the castle if you need it. It is basically free time.

"When the six bells ring, it's dinner. Probably sooner than ever. But if we don't do that in the temple, we can't get around to eating at the orphanage. Dining time is fixed, but bedtime is at your disposal. Any questions?

A boy raises his hand to my question.

"Do the children in the orphanage live the same way?

"You don't treat me the exact same way. Children in orphanages may clean the temple or have work to do in the woods and workshops when it clears up. However, you can practice and study fesh peels together in the evening after work or on rainy days."

With more going out in the spring, the orphanage kids have less time to study. All orphanages are equal, although they are going to cut up work early and take time to study in the evening. It would be a child of criminals, but it would be a child of nobility, but it would have been abandoned, but it would not make a difference in the amount of meals and work.

"Can we go to the woods too?

"Unfortunately, the blue apprentices cannot go to the woods"

Nicolaus asked the question in anticipation, but dismissed it. When something happens to an aristocratic child, the surrounding civilians will suffer some annoyance. If you think of it as an orphanage elder, gill or rutz led by the civilians around it, the result is that it's best not to let the blue apprenticeship go outside.

"Now get dressed in your own room with each side service. The kids are waiting for you in the orphanage today, so go play for them."

I haven't set any particular challenges on my first day so I can have some fun in the temple. If I were to make you strong, would it be enough to visit the temple's facilities after lunch, between lunch and the end of the orphanage? I also placed the printed book in the Temple Library in the workshop, so it was rejected by the surroundings, although I wanted to introduce it carefully.

... I was told something that felt like I would pull the other way when I recommended it with enthusiasm, isn't it a little bad?

"Sister Rosemaine, are you going to the orphanage too?

Melchior with the blue coat in his hand tilts his neck. I nodded. I was going to talk to the orphanage kids about how they feel about their spring life when they get out of the orphanage more often.

"So why don't you come with me? I have something to report to my sister."

I checked with Haltmut in the clergy's office until Melchior picked me up and how things were going with the temple work. During the prayer ceremony, Fritak seems to have been trying his best, but he's accumulating quite a lot of things.

"The impact of the decrease in the number of blue clerics is bigger than you can imagine."

"Lady Ferdinand is a huge influence not to be here, Lady Rosemayne. With more blue apprenticeships, we can only assign more and more jobs to those who serve them."

It would be a little easier with more manpower, Haltmoot said with a nice smile.

"Speaking of which, have you decided on the details about the star knot ritual of the Lords' Council?

"Divine objects, offerings, etc., seem to be prepared in the central temple. Seems I should just put together my ritual costume and take my Bible."

Since the Bible requires the magic registration of its owner, it cannot borrow the sacraments of others. I can also say that it makes no sense to borrow the scriptures of the less visible head of the central temple.

"Dear Rosemayne, I forgot about your important assistant. I will be joining you as Chief Cleric to assist Master Rosemaine."

I didn't forget anything. Haltmoot definitely thought he would say that. Instead, I can't think of Haltmut leaving a message. "Please," he said in one word, and I look around at the escort knights.

"And then, yeah. When I offered to the royal family that I wanted to attach an escort knight, you said you could attach it if you were a blue cleric or blue witch. We would like the adult escort knights to wear blue clothes and provide escorts, are you sure?

"Of course it is. I am a knight of escort."

Angelica replied with no hesitation at all to wearing blue witch clothes for the escort assignment. Brother Cornelius and Dermuel also "wore it at the service ceremony. Now," he answers. Leonore nodded cocklessly, too.

"Besides, during the Lords' Conference, we plan to cage in the library's underground library at the request of the royal family. I need escorts and sidelines there, too, but I can't go in there unless I'm a senior nobleman. We ask Cornelius and Leonore to escort us, but only Otilier has the side service. Is it okay if I take care of it? I'm particularly worried about Clarissa..."

Clarissa has also decided to head to the Lords' Conference as negotiator with Dunkelferger. Will it be all right if I take the Otilier?

"My mother is near Master Rosemayne. No need to worry extra. I have a father, so Clarissa won't do anything to annoy Lady Rosemaine either.... maybe."

... I'm anxious at the end, Haltmoot!

"You can get your tea ready upstairs, get your dorm room ready, and Otilier's assistant will be able to leaselator, right? Ha, I'm sorry to hear that Darmuel can help you read the old words once he gets in."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad I don't deserve to be in a library where only royalty and the clan of lords can enter, from the bottom of my heart"

I die of nervousness, Darmuel is trembling, but is it okay to go up on the stage as an escort knight with a royal star knot where the Aubs gather during Jürgenschmidt? I don't put it in my mouth because I would have trouble if I had fewer escort knights, and I ask in my heart.

... Well, you can handle it, right? Come on, Dermuel.

"Neither the Lords' Council nor the Prayer Ceremony can be with you unless you are an adult, so I can't help you at all."

"That's not true," consoles Darmuel, who hears Philine's unfortunate voice like disappointed and depressed.

"We also need someone to watch the temple where Lady Rosemaine and Haltmoot will be gone, as they did during the prayer ceremony. Philine is very helpful."

"I'm glad you said that."

Filine looks up at Dermuel, dyes her cheeks like she's lit and laughs. The look looked strangely gorgeous and radiant.

... Oh, that? Philine's gaze not right for Dermuel? I thought you liked Rhoderich, Philine.

Um, and I was leaning my neck in, and Merhior came in after I finished dressing. I wanted Haltmoot to be on the butler's desk, but it seems Haltmoot is going to the orphanage with him. "Because Master Rosemaine doesn't know when to do strange things" is his claim, giving him an example of cracking demonic stones and rounding them up and fixing them. Why can't you believe me when I say I won't do anything?

I head to the orphanage on a relaxing walk with Melchior. In the meantime, Merhior reported to his adoptive father on the prayer ceremony to tell him various things that surprised him and that he was praised for communicating the words of the soldiers.

"Now I just remember the words of prayer my sister taught me to go to the harvest festival."

He wanted to come to the temple soon, even though everyone seemed so busy at the castle, he had little to help and had a narrow shoulder.

"Speaking of which, did your sister get a report?

"What's the report?

"This is a report about a silver cloth found in the former Geebe Gerlach hall."

Matthias and Laurenz were cooperating in the Knights' investigation, but have yet to receive a report. Their escort duty is tomorrow, so I was going to take the report tomorrow.

"Master Bonifatius said it was definitely weird with a weird cloth, so the civilians looked it up and it looked like it was a weird cloth after all.... It was a little difficult and I didn't know any more, but I thought it would be easier for my sister to understand."

... I just can't say anything with a weird cloth.

I promised Matthias and the others I would talk to him and go into the orphanage. I saw children in blue clothes and orphanage playing carta together.

"Merhior is playing with you. I hear from Vilma."

"Yes."

After seeing Melchior cross over to the children, I ask Vilma about the recent orphanage. Vilma opened her mouth after scouting over the stairs with a worrying face.

"There are children who have left the orphanage who have lost their motivation."

Apparently, the kids growing up without magic equipment used magic to move the magic equipment that was in their parents' house. I thought that the only thing that would be treated as a nobleman was the pick-up of magic equipment. But they poked at the reality that being collected in an orphanage gave some homes magic equipment up to the fraction of their brothers.

"Still, it seems like he endured what he thought was still needed from his family, but he lost his temper to work hard for not coming to pick it up"

I have no magic equipment even though I have more power than the children of the subordinate aristocracy taken from me. And not required by parents. Back home, it's just going to be a lower job to move the magic equipment in your house, and you can't be noble without magic equipment even if you work hard in an orphanage. She spent more time blurring that she didn't feel like trying anything.

"Haltmoot, you can't make it now if you only have magic equipment, can you?

Konrat should also have been deprived of his magic equipment and cut off his way to the nobility. I can't be a nobleman from now on with just my magic equipment. I thought so and asked Haltmoot, and Haltmoot said, "There's nothing you can't do".

"It depends on the amount of magic in person and how much recovery medicine you can prepare for that person. It's not impossible, but it's a huge burden on your body because it's supposed to restore magic with medicine where it pours overflowing magic, and it's also a huge financial burden because you need both magic and restorative drugs."

The blue apprentices, who returned to the noble society by the solemnity of the coup d 'état and made their way to the House of Lords on an exceptional basis, under the guidance and burdens of their families, tell us that's what they used. If you can't make it at all, you can give up, but if it's not impossible, you want to do something about it.

"However, as far as I'm concerned, I don't really agree that Rosemaine personally pays for all the magic equipment and restorative drugs for the orphanage kids. It was about three years after Lord Rosemayne was the head of the temple. More throwaways won't last, and it's against the equality of orphanages."

Haltmoot looks at me quietly, overlapping his words so that he does not inadvertently reach out.

"Besides, what about Master Rosemayne going that far to save the old Veronicans' children? I think there are more aristocrats in the orphanage who would like this child to be given magic equipment if they were to save the old Veronican child."

If I were to prioritize, Hartmoot told me that the orphanage child was behind me, and I slapped Pong and his hand.

"I will not save the children of the old Veronicans. You save an orphanage child in your jurisdiction. If you are a child who enters an orphanage, if you decide to save it if you have more than a certain grade and magic, whether it be a faction child of nobility or a civilian eater, don't you think you will be equal?

"Dear Rosemaine..."

After Hultmoot rounded his eyes to my words, he looked like he had no choice.

"... Aub and I need to talk to you about what Rosemayne thinks. This is not something you can decide on your own. Why don't you invite me to re-acquire your protection?
