Ascendance of a Bookworm

I know the location of the temple, but there is no way I can go to the temple that only the underground library and dorm can go back and forth. Well, what should I do? It would be quick to talk if we could go for a walk with Hannelore or Hildebrandt like the other day, but not with us being told not to wander outside.

Without a good idea in mind, I head to the underground library. They still have Anastasius and Eglantine this morning. It was going to be the same day as usual, and I held the writing device, nodding.

"Dear Rosemaine, please wait a moment"

"What is it, Master Eglantine?

Summoned, I look back. Next to Eglantine, who smiled calmly, was Anastasius, with a slightly bitter face.

"Come to the temple with us today."

"Yes?"

"I'd like to see you wash your shrines with wide-area magic once and for all... I'd like you to try it"

With such a poor smile as a flutter and flower would open, Eglantine said to me so. If Anastasius seemed to have no choice but to say, "That's about it because you can wash the shrine with wide-area magic," he had to understand that it was the royal will.

... have you come this way?

It would be because you obscured what I put in the temple at the Tea Party. It seems that he intends to create a situation that will ensure my entry into the temple under royal surveillance.

... I didn't want to think that Master Eglantine or Prince Anastasius would take such a forceful approach.

I felt heavy as if I had swallowed even a stone, accompanied by slightly dripping sides, and left the library with both of them. Move on the Lesser Bus so you can match the speed to the royalty. Anastasius is aiming for a temple beyond the Civilian Building.

"Rosemaine, take this"

I am given an anti-bugging magic device, and I look up to Anastasius. I was stared into Gray's eyes, who looked grumpy.

"I hear you hid something from Eglantine in the consultation you went to after you drained me. Eglantine was depressed last night."

"... it's mean of Eglantine to ask what I can't answer in my position."

If I say, "I can't go into the temple," they will say, "Do you lie to the royal family," and if I say, "Go into the temple, you've already got the tablet," I can't help but say, "It's treason." It's more disrespectful than just a mouthful of Dietrinde.

... So I can't believe they told me I would hide things even though I kept my mouth shut.

Then he commanded me to accompany him to the temple, and if he asked me to enter the temple or try it, I would not be able to escape. I have no choice but to obey royal orders, but I feel sinking because these two will force me. I'm the one who wants to be depressed because I responded as aristocratically as possible and they force me to reveal it.

"I'm sorry, Master Rosemaine. But I can't give up either."

Lovely apologies don't clear the weight of my heart. Eglantine may have wanted the back moves for Gigisvalt to enter the temple to prevent contention, but she can't tell you what she doesn't know. If you read the tablet more and more, you would have nothing but to say that maybe there is something.

"Mostly pray in the temple, and if you were increasing your patronage, you should be able to enter that temple. You manipulate all that god stuff, and you do the gods. I don't know what to hide."

"... don't talk about everything. Isn't it Prince Anastasius who told me the value of information? You can praise me now that I can do it well, right?

When I said it as if it had been a little tear, it was called "Rosemaine".

"Tell me everything, do you command me?

"Oh, when they hide it from me, I feel like something terrible is going on behind it. Between me and the others, things should have worked out by detailing everything. Don't make strange secrets. There's no way they can do all that divinity lightly and treat the gods better than to enter the temple."

You grew up as a nobleman, he didn't praise me, he told me not to hide it. I don't have the convenient solution that Eglantine wants, although I don't deserve it because my actions so far have invited me.

Prince Gigisvalt can't get into the shrine because he wasn't all attributes when he took the Starp, because of the royalty who was terrible at cutting off information because he didn't know the back moves to be all attributes were in the basement library, and I wasn't the only one who decided he could take the Starp, and he didn't have the power to change it.

There's no way I can honestly say, "I want to get the book of Mestionora, read it by me, and then use it to negotiate Master Ferdinand's avoidance of the syndicate, and give it up to the royal family". By the time we find out we've put him in the temple, we should be talking about taking him in the royal family because he's the next Zent candidate. Isn't it possible for the royal family to leave the wild alone those who seem to be able to get the gluthris height?

"... if you confirm that I will enter the temple and think about what the royal family intends to do afterwards, you will also want to shut up. Because I don't want to leave Aerenfest with my family and go into the other day as Third Lady where I have just performed a star knot ritual to bless them."

And he said unto me, Hide not, and I put my feelings straight in my mouth. Anastasius said, "I see. Are you starting to think a little bit," groans Eglantine, "Oh, you have nothing to hide today, you give me your word," chuckles Couscous. Neither of us deny my word.

"I also know what Master Rosemayne said, but we must avoid at any cost a dispute in the center that is finally coming together. Besides, as Lady Rosemayne said, we need the Gluthris Height as soon as possible. Lady Rosemayne will help us, won't she?

Eglantine has a soft grin that is no different than usual, and I turn away from my gaze gently. There is only a distinction between not saying "I don't like it" here.

While smiling and silently urged, we arrived at the temple.

Return the anti eavesdropping magic equipment to Anastasius, and I will wash the temple whole with Vashen of wide-area magic. "That's great," he smiled, staring at the way Eglantine was impressed.

"Rosemaine, make sure this temple is locked, too."

To the words of Anastasius I reach out to the door in a heavy mood. I was in the temple the next moment I felt like I was being taken in the door. With a round shield to the left and a goddess with a yellow tablet to the right, the goddess is lined up in shifts.

"... is the temple of the goddess of wind"

I prayed in the name of the gods and took the stone slab, which had already been completed.

"Their prayers reached me. I acknowledge them and give them words to get the Book of Mestionora over Szczeria…"

The inscribed letters were the same as the regular text. The only difference is the word that can be given. I open my mouth in the sense that the tablet is assimilated to the stapes in me and that the letters of the tablet are engraved into my head.

"Tidyhinda"

Immediately after that I was outside the temple. Did you put me in the temple or not, I bumped into Anastasius and Eglantine's gaze staring down at me. I can't help it where I lied about "I couldn't get in" here.

"... you've got more yellow lines"

"What?"

The weird line running over the temple was more yellow than just blue. I smile ambiguously when I see the two people looking back at the end of my gaze looking puzzlingly at each other.

"Do you want to go to other shrines as well?

When I inquire, Eglantine glances at me worried after blinking every time she says she can't believe it.

"Is there nothing wrong with your body?

"Yep. I'm fine."

"We're going next," Anastasius said after closing his eyes tightly for the first time.

"Ride the beast, Rosemaine. It's too late."

On a lesser bus for one, I move through the woods. I suppose because I said there were shrines almost equally spaced. Anastasius was also checking the location of the temple, apparently. Walk away without hesitation.

Once again, he was given an anti-eavesdropping magic device and, at the same time, gripped, was declared by Anastasius to be "married to him as his brother's third wife".

"That way, everything will fit in circles"

"It's not round at all. I'd like to read the Goddess's book, but I don't like Prince Gigisvalt's Third Lady."

Only royalty can fit in circles with that. I'm not convinced.

"... Eglantine doesn't want a contest centered around herself and fears she'll be the next Zent. If Eglantine gets the Gluthris Heights, the top territories, starting in Crassenburg, will move all at once."

I was muddled by Anastasius, who only contemplated fulfilling Eglantine's wishes.

"If you push the seed of contention against me and turn the grievances of the surrounding territories to Aerenfest when something happens, the center and the royalty will subside round. But also, do you think Aerenfest will snort? I have a fiancée, and I want to be in Aerenfest."

"Oh, you said that in your interactions with Dunkelferger,"

Because I point my lips at the attitude of Anastasius, who seems unwilling to do anything.

"... neither Prince Anastasius nor Master Eglantine have thought about Aerenfest"

"I'm not saying anything, but it's not as important as preventing a central feud. The Aerenfest people have to think about it."

It seems that Eglantine cannot think about Aerenfest either, just as I am not too familiar with the circumstances of the centre and cannot be considered close.

"All I think about is the royalty, the center, Jürgenschmidt. And then, I'm talking about Eglantine. I can't help but pay for the anxiety and worry of Eglantine."

Anastasius says I will truncate my feelings and the current state of Aerenfest for what I should prioritize. I have felt terribly bitter about not considering my feelings at all, even though I intend to cooperate with the royal family until now.

"If you're serious about saying do something about Aerenfest with Aerenfest people, why don't you do something about the center in the center? If Master Eglantine had the Gluthris Height, Classenburg would be the back shield, and the central temple would not say no. The impact is so small that I, who am neither royal nor royal, get the Gluthris Height. Don't do anything to take away Aerenfest's Lordship candidates one after another."

"Your mouth is too much, Rosemaine."

Anastasius stares at me, but I look back.

"I'm just saying it without hiding it. If you intend to make me Prince Gigisvalt's Third Lady by royal decree, at least return Master Ferdinand to Aerenfest. Lady Ferdinand is gone, and Aerenfest is in trouble."

"I can't. Arlensbach crumbles."

My wish was dismissed with dismay. I said do something about Aerenfest at Aerenfest, but the response is a lot different.

"You treat it a lot differently in Aerenfest and Arlensbach. What was it that you promised from this Lords' Conference that you would treat it as a winning territory? Is my contribution to Aerenfest and my royalty that light?

Until then, if they say that's the royal way to do it. But I regret it enough to accidentally bite my back teeth off. Eglantine smiled with her eyes as if to look at a troubled child who said my utmost.

"Dear Rosemaine's contribution is never light, etc. However, in terms of urgency and importance, Arlensbach will be above Aerenfest."

Arlensbach is a winning big territory, so he manages half of Berkeshtock. They say importance differs from Aerenfest in terms of land size, population, and only open border gates. Yet there are only two adult clans of lords. Let Ferdinand in and there will be three of us.

"Ferdinand is the one who essentially supports Arlensbach today. I can't move it without Zent with the gluthris height."

"... what does that mean?

"It means that Zent with Gluthrithheit can't bring Ferdinand back to Aerenfest unless he can redraw the boundaries of the territory, divide Aerensbach's land, create a small territory and aub each territory's Lordship Candidate and entrust him with management"

Eglantine nodded at Anastasius' words.

"Starting in the centre, the Great Territories remain devoid of Gluthris Heights and have already managed the losing territories of the coup d 'état. If Arlensbach crumbles now, there is no other way to distribute the burden. Can you bear all of Arlensbach at the neighboring Aerenfest?

Aerenfest, which is solemnly clean and has a decreasing number of nobles, is just full of support for self-rule. I can't even afford to manage anything else.

"If you're not in such a state of difficulty magically, you can't be missing that behavior of Dear Dietrinde"

Eglantine tells me what Magdalena was a lot angry about on her recent visit. He was rude at a level where he couldn't complain about being executed on the spot.

Doesn't that mean that Dietrinde will be the best disposed of when magical leeway comes to royalty? I felt like I had cold water over my head.

"… then, at the very least, promise not to associate Master Ferdinand with Master Dietrinde. You're ordered by royal decree to either chase down your brother or marry someone you don't even want while you work drugged in Arlensbach. What would Prince Anastasius think if he were forced to marry Dear Dietrinde, to oust Prince Gigisvalt? That phrase, if you join us with Dear Dietrinde's disrespectful words and actions..."

Anastasius, after a tremendously disgusting face, turns Gray's eyes to me to provoke him.

"If Ferdinand officially becomes her husband, the consortium will not be spared. If you want to save Ferdinand from the Alliance, get the Gluthris Height within a year of the postponement of the Star Knot Rite."

I looked back at Prince Anastasius, trembling in the eyes of those who would not hesitate to use me.

"... will you return Master Ferdinand to Aerenfest if I get the Gluthris Height?

"If we can take Ferdinand out of Arlensbach and predict the various things that will happen by putting him back in Aerenfest, and do it with measures in place, we can do it.... Look, we're here."

Anastasius shows first so as to cut the story off. What Anastasius pointed to was the water temple. I got the green tablet.

... If you want to help Master Ferdinand, you'll get it soon.

The temple already has stone slabs. I don't know what I have to do after I get the tablet, but I'm going to do everything I can. I won't let Ferdinand be in the league of Dietrinde or anything.

The temple of life was not made of stone slabs, but it was completed if you prayed and served your magic inside. In the temple where the tablets have not been formed, they serve their magic and complete and take in one tablet after another. By the time I got all the tablets, I had considerably less magic, so I took the gentle restorative pills I was wearing on my hips.

Otilier changed his complexion to the fact that I reached for the recovery pills.

"Dear Rosemaine, didn't you overburden your body with Vashen? It doesn't have to be, although today seems like a bit of a long trip…"

"Don't guide me. That's it. I'll be back when Rosemaine recovers."

Listening to Anastasius, I wave to Otilier, "As long as your magic recovers, you'll be fine". I waited for my recovery, smiling back at Otilier's caring gaze.

... Is that it?

I feel like I'm losing the feeling of being overflowing with magic and not being able to use it. I compress my magic little by little. It feels fine to compress magic like it did before the ritual of protection. I stared at my hand and tilted my neck.

... my Starp, growing up?

"What is it, Master Rosemaine?

Eglantine has spoken out to care. I look around a little. Apparently, Eglantine noticed a trick that cared about her gaze. Eglantine handed me an anti-bugging magic tool, and she noticeably found her intention to tell a secret story. Anastasius came.

"I think my Starp has grown"

"What? What do you mean?

"It's a sensory thing, so I'm still not sure myself...... I told you the story about the Starp that I got in my freshman year that no longer suits me, right?

Seeing Anastasius snort, "Oh, you heard me," I continue ahead, holding and opening my own hand.

"The demonic stones you get at the temple are very similar to God's will. Once you've incorporated all the demon stones, it's easier to handle magic. If obtaining the monastic stone of the temple improves Sturp, there may be some way for Prince Gigisvalt or Prince Anastasius to do so."

"Dear Rosemaine!

Eglantine happily breaks her face. Even if I'm happy that way, I don't know if I can really do it. Above all, we must repeat the sacrifice in the small shrine and collect the demonic stones. It will be a long journey.

"It's such a long and uncertain journey to pray in a small temple, get the blessing of the Great God with the reacquisition of the blessing, if you can go to the garden of beginnings and improve the starp... I don't even know if I can really improve it."

"Still, I'm happier than there's no way"

My heart was soothed by Eglantine's radiant smile, and I shook my head as I rushed and sifted.

"Master Rosemaine?

"The temple has circled, but you don't know what to do next."

"We're going back to the basement library for now. We don't have much time by the four bells."

Returning the antibugging magic equipment to Anastasius, I rode the horseman. Anastasius commands his neighbors to use the horseman as well, and we all rush to the library at once.

... Ah!

Up above the forest trees to run through the sky, I could see the lines of light connecting the temple to the temple in many colors painting complex shapes, forming a huge magic formation. I haven't flown that high, so I don't see the whole magic formation and I don't know what it is. But the giant magic formations seem to cover up to the edge of the House of Lords. The center of the magic formation is the central building. Maybe in the middle of nowhere.

I don't know what's going on. But definitely something terrible is happening.

Dokun and his chest made an unpleasant noise.
