Ascendance of a Bookworm

To my claim Immanuel guided us to the temple chief's waiting place and offered us the old literature with his chest up. Its literature, engraved on white stone slabs, is grossly similar to that found in the library's underground library.

"This is the literature. Whether you can read it to Master Rosemaine…"

"No problem"

When I received the white tablet, I erased the god's apparatus that had been put together. As long as you get the literature, you don't need a god's fixture.

"Goddess Gear Gone!?

"Because it's a waste of magic to keep the god's equipment out even though you don't need it. After checking this out, if you really need it, we'll put it together when you need it."

Against Immanuel, who uttered a voice of surprise, I follow the inscribed letters, answering without taking my eyes off the white tablet. While the ritual preparation is in progress around me, I cannot begin the ritual unless I, who will perform the ritual as the temple chief, understand the old way of ritual, although one of me will do the reading.

… it is my duty as Temple Chief to immerse myself in reading here. Obligations.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."

Old letters are also classified into several by the times. The inscriptions on this tablet are the same as those found in the underground library, so I think this is probably a copy of the literature found in the underground library. Because it's written in the same way as a tablet written about another ritual.

... Nevertheless, there are people in the Central Temple who can read this letter.

He said the royal family could not read the old words, but some people in the central temple could read the old words. I don't know if the central temple poked at me if I didn't have anything to teach the fake Zent, or if the royal family took it lightly that there couldn't be someone who could read old letters to the temple or something, or if I hadn't even asked from the start, the royal family would have been more helpful if I had been able to work with the central temple.

... Even though I support my country by cutting my life, I wouldn't even be willing to walk over if they said, "False King Without Gluthrithheit" or, "Can we cooperate or something?"

Regardless of the relationship between the royalty and the temple, as Immanuel claimed, it is definitely an object written about the ritual of star knot. Just put together the crown of light and the cloak of darkness, and the streams of concisely written divinity are basically the same as what you know. The congratulations remain the same. It didn't take me that long to look through it either, as I only had the amount of text written on the tablet.

... but that's weird. At Aerenfest, a star knot ritual is a ritual of night, isn't it?

I learned that the Dark God, the supreme God, attributed it to the myth that blessed the marriage of the God of life and the Goddess of the earth, a ritual that takes place on nights when it is easy to obtain the protection of the Dark God, and it still takes place at night in Aerenfest.

But as you can see from my journey to the auditorium shortly after breakfast, the ritual of the star knot that takes place in the Lords' Conference begins with the three bells. Doesn't it have to be night even though it's a royal ritual? That question came to my mind, but nothing on the white tablet says anything about time.

"What's wrong, Master Rosemaine?

Leonore peeks in. And I shook my head, and answered, The temple chief only put together the divine objects, and there seems to be no particular difference in the order of the rituals or in the celebrations, and returned the tablet to Immanuel.

... here we go. Because the central temple will be satisfied if I do as it says here, and if I bless Prince Gigisvalt, the royal request will be accomplished.

All the Aubs of the realm are already ready to come to the ritual. No matter what you think, there's no way you can change ritual times from now on. It is useless to speak of.

"In the meantime, let the royal family know what's going on"

Having read through the literature, I was satisfied, and I put out the Ordnants. And tell Anastasius that the central temple is trying to revive the old ritual using the cloak of darkness and the crown of light and that he is being asked to cooperate with it.

"The literature itself seems real. Revive old rituals? Would you like the ritual as usual to be made head of the central temple?

He also tells me that if I perform the ritual as usual, I do not need it. It is the royal family that has asked me to bless you with the ritual, so I want the royal family and the central temple to discuss and decide what ritual to perform and who will head the temple. I've finished reading the literature, so I don't have any more hearts left here.

"Stay put and wait. I'll be right there."

Unfortunately, Anastasius didn't say, "You can go home," so I watched Imanuel and Haltmut meeting the blurry and ritual movements. In addition to confirming the ritual flow, Haltmoot is serious about where my assistant is.

"Is Rosemaine here?

"Long time no see, Prince Anastasius"

Exchange greetings and let me decide how the ritual will be performed between the two of us, Immanuel and Anastasius.

... I won't bother to tell you that disrespect makes you angry, but I think the way you command the Central Temple to involve room and make you head of the temple is dodgy.

It can't be funny how the head of the temple of the central temple, who has been a god all along, is taken for a role by the head of the temple of the extra space. You didn't have any meetings, you didn't give me any advance notice, and you're going to put on something that I didn't put together. I just wanted Anastasius, who said he wanted me to bless him, to shine eyes on this occasion, and to wield the extraction.

... I suppose that's all the royal language is taken lightly by the temple.

"So is it good in old rituals?

"... ah. I can prepare my mind rather than something like when Dietrinde happens unexpectedly. There's no way anything could have happened."

Excuse me. It's an extremely rude way of putting it. If you don't want anything to happen, I want you to look back at what you said and done. Does Anastasius know that he is the one who called me as head of the temple?

"So, Rosemaine. What the hell happens when you put the god's things together and perform the ritual?

"I don't know."

"I thought you said you read the literature"

Although Anastasius peeled off his eyes, the literature simply stated how to perform the ritual. It doesn't say what happens as a result of the ritual. There's no way I know.

"... but it's definitely a literature of star knot rituals, so it doesn't mean you can't get married"

Anastasius roared at my explanation for a while, but he saw me with a face like he had given up.

"If you can do a star knot ritual, that's fine. It's time for the Aubs to come.... Royal admission later. I'll be back once, but I'll wait here. Be careful not to move around inadvertently."

"Yes."

Dropping off Anastasius as he turned himself away, I watched the Aubs everywhere growing a little. The colour of the cape tells us which territory is entering. Although there are differences between students and adults, they were very similar to the sights of graduation.

Karan, Karan...... and three bells rang. But it looks like we're not completely done with the entrance yet. People moved slightly faster than before the bell rang. Confirming that the colors of all the territories would be aligned in the auditorium, Immanuel, the chief cleric, stood before the altar and waved the magic apparatus with many bells.

The door is opened to the sound of it, and the royal family enters. Traokvar and the First Lady, Anastasius and Eglantine, come in and take their seats. Shortly after wondering how invisible the Second and Third Ladies were, he recalled that speaking of the Lords' Conference was a meeting attended by Aub and the First Lady.

The second bell is the sound of my appearance. And when I stood up, I began to walk towards the altar. Haven't all the territories been informed that I will be the head of the temple? I can see the surprise and confusion spreading through the auditorium. I walked as fast as I could, though I was careful not to ignore the voices in the venue and fall. Next to me is Hartmoot with the Bible, and behind me are the escort knights in blue ritual clothing.

As can be seen from Aerenfest's divinity, it is because Haltmoot said he would "do so" that the temple chief, who was supposed to enter alone, is in a form completely surrounded by the blue priests.

Haltmoot was very wary of the central temple, and the temple chief smiled at the central temple claiming it was something he would enter alone, saying, "If you want to perform the old rituals as the central temple wishes, shut up and do as this one says," and told the escort knights, "Think of keeping them away from Master Rosemaine as the most important task. You may chop off your arm if you touch Master Rosemaine without permission," he said in his true face.

... I think it's just too much to cut off your arm, but I'm afraid of Immanuel's eyes, so I'd appreciate it if you'd stay vigilant and on your side.

Standing before the altar, Hartmoot gives me the Bible. And Leonore fixed my costume hem. Immanuel confirms that I am ready. I narrowed my eyes for a moment and moved my hand a little bit, which must be a signal to "put the god's equipment together".

But Haltmoot, who knows how much magic it takes to maintain the Divine Gear, ignores Immanuel's signal and sends a "get started" signal. The rewards of "Put the Divine Fixtures Together" and "Get Started" continued several times, with the nobles in the auditorium saying, "Not yet?" Immanuel broke as his voice began to rise.

"Start the star knot ritual with this. The bride and groom go to this!

Five pairs of brides and grooms from other territories will be admitted, spearheading Gigisvalt and Adolphine, the royalty. The auditorium was filled with applause and cheer from the nobles, a voice of celebration. If it were true, here were Ferdinand and Dietrinde, and I should have been able to give Ferdinand my blessing.

Because I want you to bless Gigisvalt, the royal family has asked me to head the temple. There will be no divinity as temple chief on this occasion ahead. Even if I wanted to bless Ferdinand, I couldn't give it anymore. It becomes a form of missed opportunity, and I zero that dissatisfaction in my heart.

... I wish Aub Ahrensbach had at least lived to this day.

Then Ferdinand would have been given a hidden room, and he could have given as much blessing as he could. You must have been a little less worried.

... it's a bad time.

I smile when I realize I just breathe out and look unworthy of a sunny place: a wedding. With my eyes in sight with Gigisvalt and Adolphine, who came up on stage, I smiled with a festive smile.

And I put the scriptures on the scripture stand, and when I unlock them, I roll the pages. "Well!" I felt Flaurelm's voice echoed somewhere, but then I decided to start the ritual because I didn't hear anything ahead.

Then it caught my eye that Immanuel was triangulating his eyes and signaling, "Put the god's things together". But you also use loud magic equipment while you're telling myths. We are still ahead of us in putting together the god's equipment.

... I told you to put it together when you need it, but it's because of you.

Ignoring the signal of Immanuel, I begin to speak about mythology using the magical instruments of loudness. It is the myth of the god of darkness and the goddess of light in the scriptures. It is the story of the God of Life coming to propose and acknowledging his marriage to the goddess of earth.

While I was speaking, I had prepared a contract to be used by Hartmoot and Brother Cornelius in the ritual of star knots and a pen of magic equipment to draw with my own magic.

"Let's now celebrate and celebrate the birth of a new couple, as in myth"

I will fall back once, so that I may hide in the sleeves which my escort knights have spread wide, and put together the cloak of darkness and the crown of light. It is easy and good to do because it hides completely when you are small at a time like this.

Naturally, all my attention was drawn to me, who reappeared with the cloak of darkness and the crown of light together. Only Immanuel opens his mouth with a satisfactory grin that he didn't seem to care that a normal ritual would take place as it was.

"Gigisvalt, First Prince of King Traokvar, and Adolphine, Lordship Candidate of Drevanhel"

The two called names come forward to the altar as if they were hacked.

"I heard from Anastasius, but I'm surprised to see him actually putting the god's things together"

"Is this artifact from Aerenfest?

... made of my own starp.

There was no way I could say such an answer, avoiding a response by just smiling at Nicole, and I gave the two of them a contract confirming their will to marry. When the two of them finish writing their names, they burn with a flame of gold. The others wrote it, and the contract burned.

"Bless the birth of a new couple from the temple chief."

To the word of Immanuel I lifted up my hand and began to pray to God.

"The Supreme God is a husband and wife of darkness and light, who presides over the high pavilion sky"

As soon as I started praying, the cloak clasp came off on its own. Then the cape comes off without sound and flies toward the ceiling. In my eyes, as I raised my hand and prayed slightly upwards, I could well see the cloak of darkness spreading wide and becoming the night sky.

"Hear my prayers and bless the birth of a new couple."

The crown of light that should have been in my head floats at will and emits light. Looks like the sun floating in the night sky. I feel like I see a dark god that spreads to encompass the auditorium and a goddess of light that illuminates it.

... Oh, the supreme god.

I thought so without any doubt. So I pray to the Supreme God as it is.

"Their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude do not give you the blessing of holiness."

The night sky began to concentrate on one point. When the circle of light turns, it begins to turn. Shortly afterwards, the columns of darkness and light stood and some flew away somewhere. It is a familiar sight in the divinity of the House of Lords, so there is no particular emotion. Most of the remaining light can be twisted, overlapped, and bounced. And then it becomes a small grain of light, splashed, and poured down on the bride and groom as a blessing. This is the same divinity you do at Aerenfest.

Seeing this sight, however, the House of Lords dropped to the point that it was not necessary to perform the ritual on purpose at night, because the night sky would appear if divine objects were assembled and carried out.

... Done.

Understanding that the divinity was over with the feeling that Starp had returned within me, I exhale in relief that I had successfully completed the service that the royalty had asked me to do.

"As always, a ritual in the House of Lords is many times more flashy than Aerenfest."

The only person who would have picked up my whine would be Hartmoot, who was standing next to me. "It's many times divine," Haltmoot laughed small and offered his hand when he held the scripture.

"Let's get out of here while everyone's upset."

... no objection!

Following Haltmoot's guidance, I enter the temple chief's quarters once. Haltmut handed the Bible to Leonore, and commanded Darmuel to lift me up and return to the dormitory as soon as possible.

"Please lend Cornelius to clean up this place or respond to inquiries, Dear Rosemaine"

"I don't mind that..."

"You should go back before anyone who has trouble responding shows up. It'll be a little overwhelming, but please come back here."

That's what Haltmoot said and pushed us out of the room. Was there already a meeting? Angelica grabbed the pattern of Stynrook so that she could pull out at any time, and started walking in the lead. I can't go about the rapid expansion. Hold me without confusion. Darmuel continues with a fast leg, smiling and walking at the tail so that Leonore can reassure me, "It's just in case".

"Hartmoot is just very wary of the central temple Immanuel. He said it was too dangerous, a fanatic."

It seems that Immanuel's eyes are getting hotter and hotter over time, and more dangerous, that he can put together his divine artifacts and rituals, that he could instantly read literature that the royal family could not understand.

... Haltmoot told me I was a fanatic.... No, well, I know you have different eyes and completely different types of scares.

"Apparently, he wants to take Master Rosemaine into the central temple at all costs. They don't seem to have enough magic to perform rituals, even if they can gain knowledge from literature and such. He wants to use Master Rosemaine's magic to gain true Zent."

It's more important than anything that Jürgenschmidt gets a true Zent, so help the central temple that is studying the old rituals as well as the temple of Aerenfest. Ask Aub Aerenfest to send me to the central temple. They told Haltmoot that it was all about getting a true Zent, and that it was for Jurgenschmidt.

"I only move for Master Rosemayne, and Master Rosemayne wants to be in Aerenfest," Haltmoot dismissed with a smile.

"Aren't you allowed to ignore the words of the central temple or something?

"Yeah, it's easy to ignore it if it's just the temple. But the royal family also wants Gluthris Heights, and a true Zent. I do not know what orders will be given when the interests of the royal family and the central temple coincide. Haltmoot was most worried about it."

The art of turning down a king's life is not in Aerenfest. You should know that, but the royal family has ordered Aerenfest too much, Hartmoot seems to feel.

"Because Lady Rosemaine has personal intimacy, but usually the royal family never asks me to do so many things."

It is also an order from the royal family to read the literature in the underground library at this Lords' meeting. Originally, it's not the time for minors to go in, nor is it like letting students in the House of Lords help. But broke the custom, but the royal family commanded me.

"Master Rosemayne looks forward to going to the library, so he won't say anything, but Hartmoot seems anxious for the royalty who orders Rosemayne, who is busy negotiating with temple services and merchants, to perform star knot rituals and translate modern language in the underground library"

Leonore gave a troubled grin, "I can't help it because it's an order, but it's more important to fill the hole in Aerenfest than to help the royal family," he said.

"... right"

As long as I help the royal family, it will be better for Aerenfest to help with the castle business, and I am a little reluctant to look forward to going to the underground library.

"Um..."

"Master Rosemaine is heavier now," he said with a smile after Dermuel let his gaze wander over there, trying to pay for the atmosphere that's gotten a little heavier. Instead of paying for the heavy atmosphere, the air freezes.

I know that once I use the word "grown" or "grown" in the same sense, but when I'm told it's "heavier," there's something stabbing me in the chest somehow.

"Please drop me off"

"No, Master Rosemaine.... Isn't that what Darmuel hates about telling women that?

Compare me and Leonore in a way that Darmuel dictates to Leonore's point.

"Huh? I am delighted that Master Rosemaine has grown..."

"I know what you're trying to say, and I know you've tried to soothe the atmosphere, but against girls, getting heavy is a very bad choice of words."

"... excuse me"

The atmosphere is a little soothing thanks to the slightly snagged derm el. Laughing at Couscous, Angelica suddenly stopped her leg as she bent over the corner. Immanuel and several clerics are blocking the hallway. I found Darmuel caged his strength in the arms holding me up.

"Oh, Master Rosemaine. Looks like you're in a lot of a hurry. I haven't thanked you for carrying out the old ritual yet..."

"Yep. I'm going back to the dorm because I feel a little sick from using too much magic. As long as they're embarrassed to see you like this."

Don't walk on your own, explain the current situation being transported to Dermuel, while thinking about whether you can break through the siege net peacefully.

"Dear Rosemaine, there are many other old literature in the Central Temple. Once Rosemaine came to the central temple, she wanted you to read it."

Darmuel stopped using his powers to move Pickle and his body.

"The royal family decides that the Central Temple literature is fake, and don't try to listen to this one. I would love for you to read it to Master Rosemayne and tell the royal family that the words of the Central Temple are correct"

"I'm sorry. I feel so bad right now that I can't think about that. Please don't go through Aub Aerenfest"

I have said what needs to be said, and I will signal Angelica with my eyes as I proceed. Angelica nods and walks out.

"Why don't you take a break here?

The moment Immanuel reached out, Angelica pulled out of Stynrook.

"If you touch Lady Rosemaine without permission, I'll cut you off immediately."

There was a sound of Gokuri and Immanuel spitting. I guess Angelica, who is dressed as a blue witch, was my escort knight and didn't think she had a weapon. Darmuel walks by with Leonore's guidance holding me up next to Immanuel, who is looking out for surprises.

Until we left enough, Angelica stood up and restrained Stynrook.
