Ascendance of a Bookworm

Spring mitzvah and adoptive father's departure

Finish making samples and return to life in the temple. Refrain from the spring mitzvah tomorrow, there was an argument in the Temple Chief's office between me and my sidekicks. I said I wanted the blue apprentices, starting with Merhior, to attend the Spring mitzvah, but they rejected me.

"Why can't you? The other blue apprentices have not yet, but I think Merhior, who will take over the temple chief, should definitely be allowed to attend the mitzvah."

Humph, and when I gave Fran my opinion, after Fran and Zahm exchanged their gazes, Zahm shook his neck sideways with a stern face.

"Dear Rosemaine, starting with Master Merhior, the blue apprentice is a minor. You are not allowed to participate in the ritual"

As far as I'm concerned, I want them to do a ritual tour as well if they're going to turn the blue apprentices around for the fall harvest festival because of the takeover of the temple chief to Merhior. However, minors cannot participate from previous customs, and there is no need to change customs, the lay people insist.

"Though I am a minor, do I not perform rituals as temple chief"

"Because Master Rosemaine is the temple chief. Blue...... No, you couldn't have joined before you became Temple Chief. Your participation in Melchior's rituals will not take place until you have been appointed head of the temple."

Fran, who was about to call himself a blue witch apprentice, cares about his noblemen's proximity and re-says it before he became temple chief. We can't inadvertently talk about the old days because we even have age fraud on top of household laundering.

"I certainly couldn't attend baptisms or mitzvahs. But the healing ritual after the Trombe crusade was performed at the behest of the previous clergyman, Mr. Ferdinand. It must never be no good."

With Ferdinand's orders from the Blue Witch Apprenticeship era as a precedent, Fran and Thurm, who were former Ferdinand's sidelines, get a little stuck in the words.

"Isn't that because there was a lack of magical blue clerics in the temple and there was nothing we could do about it"

"If you're in the temple, you'll know that there are fewer blue clerics now than then, and there's nothing more you can do about it, right? I wouldn't do anything to divine a minor if I had an adult."

No matter how much they disagree, I want this to be accepted. There are only seven adult blue priests in the temple today. It is a state in which underage lord candidates manage to perform their divinity by running around the territory.

If Vilfried, who was harassed by the Risegang nobility at the Spring Prayer Ceremony, or Charlotte, who gets busier before and after her adoptive mother's birth, doesn't want to go to the Harvest Festival, theological obstructions will occur along the way. I know the two of you can help me because there is also an increase in protection due to rituals, but it is not preferable given everyone's burden to leave too much scope to me, and I wonder if I can't do the divinity in the person of the temple at the worst case scenario.

"If the blue apprentices don't go to the harvest festival, they won't have enough men, and most importantly, they need to go to the harvest festival for themselves. Unlike regular blue clerics, the blue apprentices accepted this spring have no assistance from their parents. You have to do winter support with territorial subsidies and income from harvest festivals."

Though I have the money I received from my old Veronican parents, I don't know how long and how much money my adoptive father will turn to orphanages and temples. It is essentially conceived as a budget to be used as a cost of education in orphanages and the House of Lords. Then their money for winter support must go around the countryside and the land of Geebe and participate in the harvest festival to earn their own money.

"If we go to the countryside at the Fall Harvest Festival, we'll have to do all the baptisms, star knots and mitzvahs there at once, right? It's hard to perform a ritual all of a sudden without ever seeing anything. In my own experience, I want everyone else to have a ritual tour so they don't have to panic."

All of a sudden I was made to divine myself as the head of the temple, and I know how meticulous the bump production is. Besides, I could have known what civilian rituals were like in the first baptisms of the Mine age, but they never saw civilian rituals either.

"If I leave the temple in a year, you will need many blue clerics to fill my one hole, won't you? They don't have a horseman yet, and they don't have much magic because they're not enrolled in the House of Lords, so they all have to go to divinity. Before that happens, I want you to have as much experience as you can with my eyes."

As soon as Merhior becomes head of the temple, Merhior will have a tough time sending underage apprentices all over the territory. I am the one who proposed to accept the children before baptism and before entering the House of Lords in orphanages and temples, so I think it is important that they make their way so that they can live as blue apprentices so that they do not have trouble with their lives.

"I understand your thoughts, Master Rosemaine. But at the very least, make the tour of the blue apprentices start with the summer mitzvah. You need a prep period to start something new, and the blue clerics will have their own opinions. Most importantly, you'll also need to prepare your ritual costume for the tour."

If you can afford one season, you can organize a ritual costume or work with the side services attached to the blue apprentices to educate them. I nodded when it was said that a tour of the summer mitzvah and the autumn baptism would reveal the ritual flow and atmosphere.

"Then I leave the rooting and preparation for the Blue Clerics to Frans. Ritual costumes may be new if you have money, or advise you to rewrite them with what the previous Blue Cleric or Blue Witch left behind."

There are more blue costumes now stored in Solemn Qing, etc., although I had to make new ones for several reasons, such as when the former temple chief said that there was no object of the right size in my time or something to give to the civilian population. The fabric will be damaged even if it is kept all the time, so you should use whatever you can use.

"Yes, I did. Tell the blue apprentices to join the harvest festival and order them to begin their education and preparation. Starting with Merhior for the Fall Harvest Festival, I will also summarize the opinions of the other blue clerics in order to give the blue apprentices a tour of the summer mitzvah and the fall baptism ceremony."

Discussions with the sidekicks ended with the story that although the rooting began, the formal announcement came after the spring mitzvah.

And mitzvah day. I was quite nervous with me. Tulli will be an adult at the summer mitzvah, so today's spring mitzvah should have Ralph, Rutz's brother. I know someone from the Mine Age who seems to remember me, about Rutz's brother, but Zasha and Sieg ended up without me joining them in the good way.

... Ralph won't even find out, will he?

I glance in the mirror and pinch a little of my ritual costume. It doesn't look like Mine in borough clothes. Besides, I don't think I remember a neighborhood kid who died years ago. Even when I became rumored in the lower town as a small temple chief, nothing was said by Touri or Lutz.

... because I don't know if I can tell Ralph's face either... yeah. I'm fine, right?

And so I say unto myself, I will move before the prayer room with Fran, and with the escort knight.

"Temple Commander, Admission"

I entered the prayer room with the Scriptures, nervous about the doors to be opened giggly and many gazes. I go up on the stage, clearing my ears to the conversation that hiccups.

... Which would be Ralph?

Look down, staring slightly. There's supposed to be Ralph here, but we're all growing too much from the stage, and nobody and he put together the precious green of spring, so I'm not sure.

... Ralph was a redhead, so that or this or that... Um, because I feel like there's a shadow. Is that Ralph? Hmm, you're not sure.

With an aristocratic smile affixed, I lean my neck slightly, skewing my face slightly as Ralph gazed.

... Is that it? Have you noticed anything? Got a little distrustful?

I hurriedly turned my gaze to the Scriptures and strayed from my gaze. And perform the ritual as usual with the making smile cultivated in aristocratic life.

"O Fruitraine, goddess of water, hear my prayer, and bless and feed the birth of a new adult, and dedicate their thoughts, their prayers and their gratitude, to the protection of the Holy Ghost."

Blessings will put an end to divinity. Ralph looked back once as the new adults were dropping them off from the prayer room.

... Ah, ah, I want to find out if Ralph found out. But wouldn't it be better to poke a snake? What am I gonna do?

If anything happens, you'll hear from Thuri or Benno. I guess I'll just have to shut up and see how it goes for a while.

Spring mitzvahs ended and meetings were held at the temple, including the blue apprentices. According to Zahm, who rooted for me, the adult blue clerics also seemed to realize that they didn't want to be understaffed, and were not particularly dissatisfied. Rather, it seems to me that you are in a position to receive the lord's hindsight, so work.

Orders the blue apprentices to also inform and prepare for the shortage of manpower and for having to attend the fall harvest festival for their respective winter support. Much has to be done to memorize the celebrations, costumes for rituals, arrange carriages, and procure food with cooks.

However, it is difficult to entrust all the divinity to the first minor, so it was newly decided that only this year's harvest festival would be paired with an adult blue cleric.

"Um, sister. May I have a moment?

Nicolaus asked a little anxiously. Today's escort is Matthias and Eudit, and I think it's because of the absence of Brother Cornelius. Brother Cornelius seems to not like Brother Cornelius because he is evilly driven away.

"I don't mind. Do you have any questions?

"Yes. Will my father help me with my winter support?

Some children have their parents solemnly purified, while others, like Nicolaus, only one parent is disposed of. Nicolaus seems to feel abandoned by his father as well, but Nicolaus' cost of living is out of his father. I think you can help me if I ask for winter support.

"Why don't you send your father a letter?

"... I'm a little scared to think about what I would do if you didn't take it. I am neglected by Elvira."

Considering what her mother, Tordelide, has done, it won't be impossible for her mother to neglect Nicolaus either. But my mother is the one who can think of fairness and balance at the time when the house gets messed up the most.

"I think it can be fulfilled unless it's also a request that is so unscrupulous. But it's not like you don't have to attend a harvest festival if you have a winter schedule. Please pray seriously for the protection of the gods."

"Yes, little by little, but I remember the side servants and the congratulations. The other day, my uncle came to the temple to give me an audition, and he said," Pray seriously and increase your protection. "

It was when I was in the library, so I didn't look at each other, but my uncle showed his face to the temple once for the training of the apprentices. Nicolaus was praised for his muscles, apparently.

"Send your uncle a thank-you Ordnants from your sister. I was disappointed that my sister wasn't in the temple."

... something like Matthias and the others asked me to do the same before...?

Looks like Matthias remembered the same thing when he was investigating Gerlach. Looks somewhat like sympathy caged in my eyes looking at Nicolaus. "So yesterday..." Eudit muttered, looking a little faraway as well.

... Did you have a relationship with some uncle named Eudit?

Returning to his chamber with his neck tilted, Matthias has advised "before you forget, give Master Bonifatius the Ordonanz". Eudit also offers a yellow demon stone, "I think you should send it right away," he said.

With a question mark on my head, I sent a thank-you Ordnants to my uncle, as the escort knights said.

Although the temple seemed to have an aversion, it is amazing that your uncle would make an archery of the apprentices without forgetting his promise to me. Thank you. I love it, it's overseen by Matthias and Eudit like that.

The reply from my uncle was short: "Isn't it natural as my grandfather to keep his promise to Rosemaine", but Matthias nodded satisfactorily, "This is good," and shook his hand with Eudit.

Philine snuck me up later and told me that if my uncle wasn't in a good mood, he wouldn't be able to help train the Knights. They say it's for Darmuel and Brother Cornelius, who are going to training right now.

Blue apprentices, who have decided to participate in the fall harvest festival, are now seen bumping in the temple to learn the eulogy to use for divinity, and blue clerics, who have seen a clean noble child come seriously to divinity, are also seriously confronted with their work.

He communicates his precautions as he talks about divinity while having tea with the troubled blue apprentices about what he has and what he has to do on his first long business trip, and how he has his ritual costume ready for use even as he grows up.

"A new costume for the ritual can be worn by Nicolaus, who has the assistance of his father. I have no choice but to change my former witch apprentice costume."

The first apparent Blue Witch apprentice, such as a new costume worn by a non-family member, gave a small voice zero that the change in circumstances was a little painful. It's the first time he's had a financially stuck life, and he can't hide the confusion.

"... it's more comfortable than losing your life or spending time in a castle children's room. Thank you to Dear Rosemayne and Aub Aerenfest. But sometimes it makes me very sad."

They say life in the temple is a lonely and arduous life unlike when you were with your family and you weren't free of one thing. It sure is hard, and I think you'll miss it.

"I thought if I grew up, it would be a costume or something. I haven't thought about using one costume in a long time. But you need it here."

"You're growing fast, so it's hard to keep up with it with your own money."

Because minors have never participated in divinity before, they can be used for a long time if they grow up, but they do not grow up in the same way.

"Dear Rosemaine, please tell me how I can wear it when I grow up."

Originally, I knew how to tailor a kimono. You could have spread it on your own because it wasn't the knowledge you sold to Corinna, but you should have flowed the profits to the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce in order to be a little more cooperative in getting Thuri out to the center. I wrote to Corinna and gave them instructions to sell to them exclusively how to tailor my ritual costume.

And not long after the summer baptism ceremony, the day approached when my adoptive father would head to Arlensbach. I ask Razapham to bring me to the castle a magic kit full of conditioning sets and dishes that I put together in the library workshop for Ferdinand to deliver.

Samples of the highest quality Demon Paper are ready, and I wrote to you. In addition to seasonal and funeral greetings, the table in your letter included a list of materials your adoptive father would take with him, and wrote, "Now if there are no problems, I will mass produce them". Behind it I wrote down a recipe for the highest quality demon paper that added the process of what it was made of disappearing ink and what paper was made along the way.

Without a doubt, Mad Scientist Ferdinand thinks he'll want to try to make his own, so he's got a few pieces of demon wood paper of all kinds as the material. If the workshop is given as ordered by the royal family, they will find the time and study it on their own, and if there are any improvements, they will tell us in time.

"It is the royal and Aub promise to give Lady Ferdinand a workshop, so be sure to check it with your own eyes. And if it doesn't seem to have been given, it means it's against the King's life, so please ask Dear Dietrinde and Georgine to punish you in some way."

... Not if you're pulling back awesome!

When I said sour in my mouth at the dinner table the day before I left, my adoptive father turned into an unpleasant face with an extremely annoying face, "I also know you don't like Vilfleet". No matter how disgusting you look at me, it's a condition for me to be the king's adopted daughter, so I'd be in trouble if the royal family didn't keep their word exactly.

"Even if Master Ferdinand doesn't like it, make sure he's really given a hidden room in the right sense"

"Hmm, that sounds a little funny"

My adoptive father, who seemed troublesome, showed only a little motivation, so I exhaled in a ho and a relief. My adoptive mother, who was watching me and my adoptive father interact, smiles and strokes her own stomach, which is getting bigger.

"You don't have to worry so much, Master Zilvester will do a good job, Rosemayne. This is one of the few opportunities to see how Ferdinand is doing with your own eyes."

... I really hope so.

"Both Rosemayne and Merhior will stay in the castle for a while, won't they?

"Yes, I plan to stay for about three days and provide magic power to the foundation. I can't stay very long because I'm ready for the star knot ritual."

You also have to "hunt a little tree for" orphanage children before and after the star knot ritual. There is no time to relax in the castle.

"We're making tea promises to your sister, Mother."

"Oh, just the kids? Will I not invite you?

"Yeah, it's a tea party just for kids I sponsored."

Me and Wilfried nod at the words of Charlotte. While staying at the castle, the brothers and sisters have a tea party full of water, and the neighbors are also planning to exchange information.

"It's been a long time since I've had a tea party with my brother or sister, and I'm looking forward to it too. Speaking of which, I had a tea party with the blue apprentices at the temple the other day. Plus, I took a tour of the workshop where the orphans worked. I saw where the book could be done, but it was amazing."

When Melchior starts talking about temple life with pleasure, everyone listens with interest. Even when I saw the reaction of the side servants who were serving me, I could see that the aversion to the temple was diminishing slightly.

"Welcome, adoptive father. And please be careful with your father."

Drop off Aub and the father of his escort knight, the Knights Commander. The funeral of Aub in the other realm will mean a considerable number of travellers. My adoptive mother has a big stomach and left a message that the long journey is dangerous. They're supposed to do their errands as long as their health permits.

Finish the drop off and go back to your room. All the proximities I was with came in to drop me off. I feel kind of nostalgic when I look at the side of the line.

"It's been a long time since you've had a lot of momentum on your side. When we gathered before, we announced that we would be the king's adopted daughter, and we heard the opinions of those moving to the center."

When I grinned, Eudit looked at me resentfully.

"When I heard the reseller was following me, I was about to cry."

"Alas, Eudit wasn't about to cry, he was crying with the reezelator mean, the backcutter. It was hard for me and Brunhilde to stay, but it was hard for Eudit to mourn that he was the only one who got rid of him."

When Otilier laughs couscous, Eudit blushes in embarrassment. Until he grew up, Philine also decided to stay, and she settled in knowing that "wishing to dedicate her name from now on won't necessarily take the minor".

"I'm sorry I made you feel sad. But you're welcome if Eudit grows up and comes to the center. … I am delighted and comfortable with the short period of marriage that Eudit's parents decide to marry"

As Mother told me, when I asked her out with as much honesty as possible, Eudit smiled and nodded lightly.

"Besides, Philine will be the orphan director of the temple until adulthood, so please train the blue apprentices."

"Yes."

The only thing left to decide is Dermuel, I turn my gaze. For some reason it was Clarissa with a full grin who came into view the whole time. I take a step forward with a grumpy smile that seems to sing in my nose.

"... Clarissa, what's wrong?

"I'm finally ready to dedicate my name. Come on, Master Rosemaine. Take not all of me!

...... I don't like it. I'd like to say... Ha......

Dedicated to the name of Gorilla, second. Unlike Haltmut, Clarissa was not in a trance when tied up with my magic, so she was just a little horrified by the normal reaction.

... No, wait. Because Clarissa is not normal. Don't be fooled, me!
