Ascendance of a Bookworm

...... I'd like to read it, the book of Mestionora.

Listening to the conversation between Hildebrandt and Hannelore, I ponder about the book of Blurry and Mestionora.

... It's a goddess book. What the hell is it? Looking forward to it.... is that it? When I say the Book of Mestionora, it's usually Gluthris Height, right? Could it be a system I shouldn't read?

Reality returns all the time to the head that was driven by the temptation I wanted to read. At that point, I was taken into the temple by myself, so I see my actions from a realistic point of view: I should have made contact with the escort knights before reading the tablet, or I shouldn't have approached the suspicious tablet in the first place.

... it's like when I had a wonder experience in the goddess' water bath on the night of Fruitraine.

There must have been some sort of magical interference then too, such as unnaturally forgetting to contact the companions, or the Ferdinands not being allowed in. Is that what it feels like in that temple?

... Let's just calm down and think about it calmly.

If Mestionora's book was Gluthris Height, I think it would be very bad for me to get Gluthris Height. I don't want to get Gluthrithheit, I don't want to be Zent. If you don't want to get caught up in something extra, it's best you keep your mouth shut without getting your hands on it.

I just don't feel like I'll ever be able to read a goddess book if I miss this opportunity. I want to read. I want to read it immensely. The feeling is not false.

... Besides, the royals are looking for Gluthris Heights, aren't they? You want a clue, don't you?

So much so that I'm desperately translating just the information that I need to know to be Zent in my basement library. I think my experience today will be quite valuable and informative.

... Precious is precious, but can you do it the same way?

I think some of the light that flew away when the multispectral columns stood is based on blue stone slabs. In other words, all that blessing must be given to serve the magic and to set up the pillars of light. Can a royal family in a difficult state with a central magic supply be blessed to stand more and more pillars of light in the House of Lords?

... What happens if you can't be royal?

What I can't do is throw a round at others and live. The best thing I can think of is, "You just have to be the one who can". All you have to do is get the Gluthris Height to those who are likely to get it. It would have been perfect had it not been for me those who were likely to get it.

... So what would the royalty do if I got the Gluthris Height?

I wish it were easy for me to transfer to the royal family after reading it, but it should have been difficult for Ferdinand to be the back shield at Aerenfest where he aspired to the throne. I am the same. And Ferdinand was to head to Arlensbach with a royal decree as his son-in-law so that he could not be Zent. Not to be able to take the throne, or the same thing is likely to come down on me for the current royalty to get Gluthris Heights.

... you should provide information for the royalty, but you mean you should keep your mouth shut for yourself, right? What are we gonna do?

I want to talk to someone, but I can't think of anyone I can talk to. Um, and when I moved my gaze up worried, there was a blue line running in the sky. There are several blue lights coming out of the roof of the temple.

"... what is that blue light?

"Which blue light?

Hildebrandt and Hannelore looked up at the tip of my finger and looked strange. You don't seem to see any unnatural blue light that you can see so clearly. Not just the two of them, they don't seem to see the sides, they stare and tilt their necks. No matter how much you claim toward the invisible, you won't understand. I blinked several times and shook my neck to the side.

"... it seemed like my mistake. Maybe it's because I looked up and my eyes blinded on a leaky day."

"It's more dazzling than I thought."

Hannelore glanced at the top in the same way and narrowed her eyes. There's a blue line in that direction, but you don't seem to see it at all.

... What's at the end of the blue light line?

Looking up and gazing, the Ordnants flew in. The white bird, who remained in Artur's arms and opened his mouth, in the voice of Magdalena, told him three times to return to the underground library.

"Have you been able to get out a little bit and change your mood?

Back in the basement library, the side servants immediately prepared the tea. I walked around outside and was thirsty so the tea was very tasty. Ask Magdalena what time she spent outside drinking tea.

"Yes, Mother. Dr. Solange unlocked it for me and I was able to get out of the closed-door library. It was the library backyard, but the sun was strong on Rosemaine, so I decided to go into the woods. We took a break in front of the temple there."

It was locked and I couldn't get in, but Hildebrandt reports his actions outside to his mother. Magdalena smiled kindly at her son, "How did you know it was a temple when you couldn't get inside?," he urged ahead.

"Rosemayne said it resembled the entrance to Aerenfest's temple"

"Really?... that's all that meant to the House of Lords divinity. The temple must mean something, too."

To the words of Magdalena, whining to think a little, I wanted to nod, "It already means so much". Avoid communicating clearly, I convey unusual information.

"They say it's already been repaired, but some of the temples my uncle broke down. On the edge of the House of Lords, you said, so I think it's different from the temple earlier. You wouldn't describe our arrival in the library as despicable, would you?

The center of the House of Lords is around the central building, the civilian building, the sideline building and the library. I think the expression despicable is more appropriate around the dormitories. Did they tell you that there might be other shrines? It seemed that Hannelore was well informed when I saw how everyone was doing.

"Then maybe there are other places that worship similar temples and gods. Is there no such thing as a map of the House of Lords managed by the royalty? Or keys..."

"You used to create your own map for Ditter describing the dormitories of each territory, but you've never heard of a map of a temple managed by the royal family. Ask Solange or the secretary of the Royal Palace Library."

That's what Magdalena said. Speaking of which, there should have been a simple map of the House of Lords in Ferdinand's Ditter Guide book as well. You might want to check it out when you get back to the dorm.

"Dear Magdalena, what kind of talk did you have with Deatrinde?

"... those who name the next Zent candidate are a lot more distinctive and really amazed me. Come on, let's talk about this and get to work. We don't have much time."

How much I don't want to talk about it, Magdalena told Nicole to smile and cut up the break.

... The First Lady of Dunkelferger was surprised, too. I don't think I'm going to say anything like what you said in the closed library to Master Magdalena face to face, because it's Master Dietrinde...

Dietrinde said rude things at the House of Lords tea party as well, but it was basically for the lower nobility, so it was enough to frown upon. Because Aub Ahrensbach is dead, I don't think he would be more rude to a royalty just above himself than he would be at the top of the list in Ahrensbach, and his closest friends couldn't possibly forgive him.

However, given the way Magdalena's story was cut off, I became very anxious. They named the next Zent candidate for the current royalty. If Dietrinde is too disrespectful to the royalty, it is more likely that Ferdinand, who will be her husband, will be in a coalition. I have to say I'm glad the star knot has been postponed. Ferdinand, his fiancée and he can't come to the Lords' Conference. Even if Dietrinde does something here, he shouldn't be in a coalition yet.

... Me, maybe you should get a gluthris height early?

If you're getting Gluthris Heights, when you have to say, "I'll give you Gluthris Heights, so just give it back to Master Ferdinand!" and we can poke the exchange terms at the royalty, but if we don't have anything, we can't even get to the negotiating table. I will only be able to watch Ferdinand, who will be the seat of the Dietrinde.

... they say this is too worrying too?

I hold my chest gently. If it's the kind of type of thing that Dietrinde would say to Magdalena as it were in a closed library, my worries shouldn't be far from becoming a reality. You won't be pissed off for worrying on your own without putting it in your mouth.

... the book of Mestionora is not necessarily gluthris heit. Maybe it's what you need to get Gluthris Heights, and even if it's Gluthris Heights, I don't think it's what you get right away. Let's find it first.

When I received the paper and the writing equipment from Ottilier, I entered the underground library. Schwartz looks up at me and says, "Himesama, I'm not going anywhere". Certainly prayer will not be enough for me just to get the blue tablet.

... I don't know where it is. I have to check from the location of the temple, right?

"Hey, Schwartz. Is there any material like a map of the House of Lords describing the location of the temple for prayer?

"Yes."

When I asked him somehow, Schwartz came out with a number of white slabs. The tablet Schwartz removes dots the middle of the bookshelf to the right. It seemed to be in a hard-to-reach part of my reading from the top left.

"Thank you, Schwartz"

When I stroke Schwartz's forehead, I ascertain a map arranged in a slippage. I'm not sure where to pray because the number of shrine-like points is completely different between a very rough map and a detailed map. Finally, this map does not depict dormitories or landmarks for each territory, so I am not sure where they are. I have to keep a copy of it all and poke it against the map being created for Ditter when I get back to the dorm. It's going to take a while to find out where it is.

"Rosemaine, it's over!

"Hih!?

Suddenly he was taken up of the stone slab and looked up surprised, his adoptive father was about to give the white stone slab to Schwartz.

"If you're really focused on your books, you don't seem to hear the voices around you. How many times do you think I called you?

"... I don't know"

I am rushed to "clean up quickly" by my adoptive father with a frightened face, and I give Magdalena the paper that finished the translation of modern language, and the map I wrote is folded into my leather bag.

"Your foster father picked you up, didn't he?"

"Naturally. There's no way we can put pregnant Florencia in this huge magic kit."

The underground library, which undergoes sorting with strong magic, is said to be a giant magic tool through the door of a closed library. He doesn't want to include his adoptive mother because he doesn't know how the baby in his belly will be affected.

"If you're not willing to let your adoptive mother into the library, will your adoptive father pick you up every day?

"I'm going to. Look, come on."

I do not know the meaning of the hand offered to my adoptive father, and I lean my neck confused. What the hell am I supposed to do with this?

"What are you blurring about? Are you unhappy with my escort?

"No, that's not it.... I just didn't think my adoptive father would escort anyone but my adoptive mother"

"Florence is our top priority when Florence is here."

I reached out to my adoptive father and left the library as he escorted me. When I go up the stairs, when I go down, my adoptive father treats me like an aristocratic princess and I feel so strange.

Leaving the library, the sun was already tilting. My adoptive father escorts me through the evening corridor and walks. Even though I never held hands in my civilian days, I rarely walked in someone's arms in this way, nor have I walked in this way since I became a nobleman, except during a feast.

... I've walked around holding my uncle's finger, but it felt more like a serious mission than an escort, because I'm riding a horseman in Aerenfest's castle in the first place.

"Rosemaine, are you going to look so strange?

"... I'm not used to these escorts, so I'm a little confused"

"Not used to it? Would you be used to being made Ferdinand or Vilfleet?

Although my adoptive father turned out to be a surprise, here's what I'd like to be surprised at. I've never been made these two escorts in my everyday life.

"Master Ferdinand doesn't escort you in everyday life. Oh, but when I ran and grabbed my sleeve when I was too fast to walk, I asked you to increase or decrease the speed at which I would walk to the point where I wouldn't fall."

"Huh? Is that all?

That's all, so I will desperately try to remember what Ferdinand did to me.

"Uh, when you let me ride with the horseman, you gave me a hug or a lift. Although I couldn't get on or off on my own because of height issues."

"... what about Vilfleet?

"Please do it at the feast. But not in everyday life...... Oh, when I was heading to the House of Lords lecture, I asked you to carry heavy baggage into the classroom of the Lord's Course, which I couldn't get near."

Hannelore was also surprised by that, and was told she was a sweet fiancée. I will have a sinister face that my adoptive father seems unhappy with my words.

"Often on horseback in castles, but in the House of Lords, what the hell is your fiancée doing to walk?

"I don't think there are many students who are routinely escorted and acted upon in the House of Lords, even if they say so."

"I was"

... I guess he was perfect for Master Florencia on the pretext of escorts.

Don't compare yourself to yourself, who was desperate to turn around your adoptive mother, you won't have a choice. However, I think both Ferdinand and Wilfried should apprentice the politeness of this treatment.

"Compared to Dear Ferdinand and Brother Wilfried, your adoptive father treats women a lot more politely. To be honest, I'm surprised."

"Instead, I didn't think my brother could make it this far. Isn't it refreshing in everyday life to do it without a feast..."

"The closer you get to Mr. Ferdinand, the more you treat him."

I think there are some pretty nasty things about the treatment of adoptive fathers, not just me. It gives me a tremendous amount of fine concern, and I'm gentle about being nice, but I'm not polite about it. My adoptive father looked down at me with a complicated grin on my words.

"What is it?

"No, there's something I don't know if it's time to try, I just felt smug"

"... I don't think my adoptive father is young enough these days"

"Whose fault do you think it is?

... Is it my fault? Excuse me.

When Benno often scolded me like this, I remembered that I had to tell a story that seemed to deprive my adoptive father of even more youth.

"This is another story that may lose my youth from my adoptive father..."

"I don't want to hear it, but it's something you have to hear, right?

My adoptive father urged me ahead with a disgusting face. I open my mouth as I walk pompously. There are neighbors around, but it's not like we have to pay for them.

"I hear a magic formation emerged during the star knot ritual."

"Oh, what happened to that?

"Me, I didn't notice because I was looking up there all the time to offer my prayers, but that was the same magic team that Deatrinde let glow at his graduation ceremony, he said, sorting out the next Zent candidate"

It seems to be acknowledged around that Gigisvalt is the next Zent candidate. Congratulations in and of themselves, but those magic formations just sort. I can't just be Zent for glowing that magic formation.

"I was convinced that the central temple, wanting a legitimate zent, was desperate to revive the old ritual. As a temple chief who can resurrect rituals, we may now begin to see strange crossspears coming in from the central temple."

As I shrugged, my adoptive father gently pounded my hand, which was grabbed by his left arm, with his own right hand.

"Don't guide me. His engagement to Wilfried has the King's approval. And I'm not going to dissolve it."

... What happens if I get the Gluthris Height and qualify for Zent? I want to be prepared to help Master Ferdinand in the worst of circumstances.

I cannot tell my adoptive father, who is trying to protect me with all his might, but who said that he would treat Ferdinand as a man of other realms, that he has become the next Zent candidate. I'm not going to be Zent, so I'm not even going to tell you.

Instead, report on Dietrinde's arrival in the underground library and the conversation he was having in the closed library.

"I'm not sure what the Schlertraum flowers are, but they only seem to be available in Arlensbach. Then there seems to be some involvement between Ortancia's husband, the Knights of the Central Knights, and Master Georgine."

"Right."

"My adoptive father will contact the royal family about the silver cloth, won't he? You should think about whether you can let us know with the Cavaliers lined up."

My adoptive father made a difficult face in my words. For his adoptive father, the Central Knights Commander is an almost faceless stranger. I see Ferdinand as my enemy, and I don't know what caused him to go to Arlensbach. Ferdinand said he wasn't going to tell his adoptive father, and I'm going to keep my mouth shut because I'm not sure I can explain it without talking about Adalziza.

"If you have to, you might want to let the royal family know in the library as soon as you pick me up."

And when I returned to the dorm, I put out a map that was used in the old ditters from among the teaching materials for the Knight's Course on the bookshelf in the multi-purpose hall. They say the adults are busy getting ready for tomorrow and beyond, so stop spreading it in the multi-purpose hall and take it to your own room.

"Dear Rosemaine, what are you going to do?

Leonore has taken an interesting peek into the map. Probably because I suddenly brought the knight course material. And I will spread out the paper which I have copied in the basement library, and see which part of the temple the place shall be.

"There was a map in the basement library showing where there was a temple like today. It's too concise and I don't know where it is, so I thought I'd poke it against this map... Oh, this circle is today's temple."

"It's just a little south of the library, so I'm pretty sure. This is a little behind the Civilian Building, and this is further behind the Side Building...... Dear Rosemayne, don't you think there's a shrine around the central building, almost at an even distance?

That's what Leonore said as he stared at the map. I also stare at the map. If you ask me, you're right. The same slightly larger circle that shows today's shrine is almost evenly located close to the center.

"The small circle dots all over the House of Lords."

"They're different sizes, so maybe they're showing something else"

"Tomorrow, I'll report in the basement library."

That being said and cleaning up the map, I think desperately. I want to go around these shrines during the Lords' Conference. I can't go to a place like this in the House of Lords in the winter.

... but how? I want to go, you can't possibly go where I said.

It's odd that a minor who doesn't attend a Lords' meeting wanders around the House of Lords, and there's no way the neighbors will let him go for no reason. It is decided to be angry at me where I said, "I want to read it the most in order to help Master Ferdinand get the Gluthris Height".

The next day, when I went to the basement library, Anastasius and Eglantine were coming. They also do a modern language translation this morning.

"I checked the location of the temple. It's almost like it's on the circumference at equal intervals around the central building. Doesn't that seem like there's some kind of secret?

When I report as I expand the map, I look down at the map that Anastasius wrote with his eyes round, saying, "Sure, that's suspicious."

"Find more material or let's find it at the Royal Palace Library"

"Prince Anastasius, I contacted the Royal Palace Library yesterday."

Magdalena seems to be moving agile to take advantage of some of the information gathered. Anastasius thanked Magdalena and stood up.

"I want to see the temple for once. If you don't know what it is, it's hard to explain it to your father."

"... you're right"

When Magdalena also rose, using Hildebrandt as a guide, the royals went out to confirm yesterday's temple.

Me and Hannelore will remain in the underground library to continue translating modern language. When it's just the two of us, I feel so much easier.

"I started reading the Fernestine story you borrowed yesterday quickly. I couldn't stop it and Cordura scolded me. I'm a little sleepless today."

He seemed to have read it with guts until he shook off Cordura's stop and the prince jumped in to help Fernestine, and then fell asleep in a worrying but reassuring mood.

"I look forward to reading it to the end"

Continuing the modern translation, Anastasius and the others who had gone to see the temple returned. Look at me like an ill-colored Eglantine said something.

"What is it, Master Eglantine?

"Dear Rosemaine, I need to talk to you. May I have your time?

Eglantine begged me, and Anastasius scowled at me, and I nodded cocklessly.

"If only I could help you"
