Ascendance of a Bookworm

I gave Gil the demon stone with the crest, so I decided to give it to Nicolas and Vilma as well. Nicola is going to have her move with an adult in Filine, because Vilma is going to leave it with her mother once and pick it up after adulthood.

When he called two people to the temple chief's office to offer him the Demon Stone, Nicola was happy to say, "I will do my best for Master Rosemayne wherever I go," while trying to watermark the Demon Stone and staring at the crest to delight me.

"Will Vilma be my dedicated painter? Or is your mother's dedicated painter better?

"I would like to be Dear Rosemayne's dedicated painter. Lord Elvira is a good customer, but my Lord is Lord Rosemaine."

Vilma laughed at Nicole and took the Demon Stone from me. Good. Laughing at each other with Burma, a bell rings across the door indicating Haltmoot's visit.

"Dear Rosemayne, it seems it is time for Charlotte to return"

"Oh, you were earlier than planned. I'll pick you up at the front door, so please prepare your tea and sweets."

Charlotte is the last of the faces to come back for the harvest festival. I will pick you up at the front entrance with Haltmoot. "Did you also give the crest to Nicolas and Vilma," he says. The crested demon stone shines on Haltmut's neck as well. I brought Clarissa and I a magic stone for both of us, although we're going together, and I really want it. I think it would be different to give it to Haltmoot and Clarissa because it's really something I'm giving as a cover to those I'm taking with me later, but Darmuel was worried that what got the crest would snore, so I carved it for her. Haltmoot is in a good mood.

"I'm home now, sister"

"Welcome back, Charlotte. It's been a long journey, hasn't it? Would you like some tea?

"We'd be delighted to be with you"

Invite Charlotte to the temple chief's office to listen to the harvest festival for tea and sweets. The northern side seems to have had a good harvest since the ritual calling for spring began to take place, making the lives of residents a lot easier.

"Since Grechelle's Entvickern is over, we've been telling you that starting next year, as soon as the magic accumulates, we may be able to recreate the ceremonial stage. In a moment's time, the aristocrats of the north will be able to take in the Lords' side."

... I knew Charlotte would be amazing to socialize in aristocracy.

Listening to Charlotte's report, Nicola brought me a tea replacement. The demon stone with the crest that he hastily attached to his chest is glowing. Charlotte rounded her eyes when she saw a gray witch wearing a demon stone that basically wouldn't have attached any ornaments.

"Well, that's the Rosemaine workshop crest, isn't it? I also had a haltmoot on earlier, does that make any sense?

In Charlotte's inquiry, I tell the story of what I gave to the Lord so that he who takes him when he grows up would not be bought away, that he would not be considered abandoned. Finally, Haltmoot and Clarissa went together, but also talked about bringing their own demon stone by saying they wanted it too.

"Sister, I want you too."

"Huh? And Charlotte? But that's what I'm giving to my neighbors and the people I take..."

Charlotte nodded a little shy as I blinked my eyes without thinking that Charlotte would say something like Hartmoot and the others.

"Yep. I cannot follow your sister, and I intend to be in Aerenfest all the time. But is that like a sign your sister gave you asylum, a demonic stone that shows you're the Lord even if you're away? I wanted something to show that I was a sister even when I left you."

The word that I want something that shows a sisterhood, not a subordination, struck me straight in the heart of my sister. Isn't this a case where you have to work hard on anything?

... 'Cause you're my cute little sister!? You want something to show you're sisters, even if you're away? You'll have to make it! As my sister!

"What do you want, Charlotte? I will respond to your request as best I can!

"No! I can't take your sister's time any more than I do now. It's enough metal decorations left to the artisans in Lower Town."

"To the artisans of Lower Town...?

"Yep. It doesn't have to be a demonic stone because it can be confused with objects that show a subordinate relationship. If you can see the connection between me and your sister, that's fine."

Charlotte says it's enough to carve a Rosemaine workshop crest into a metal about the size of a coin. It seems better to change the material because it means different things in the main obedience and the sisters.

I will draw blueprints by determining the size and material while discussing with Charlotte. And when I called Gil, I asked Johann to ask him to do it. I'm sure they'll make it in the winter.

"Johann has good arms, so I think he'll finish nicely"

"I'm looking forward to it, sister"

At the end of the harvest festival, it is the winter support. It's a task I'm used to, so leave the orphanage and the temple chief's office to Frans, if that's all right. Winter support for Merhior and Blue Apprenticeships is also led by the Temple's side servants. Because the Lord basically stays in the castle except for the period of the service ceremony, so it becomes our own winter support.

Leave the winter support to all the temples, and I will prepare myself. We have to create the demonic paper that Ferdinand asked us to do, prepare the necessary ingredients for Schmir in the library that we make in the House of Lords, and prepare the dishes and treats that we send to Arlensbach. I guess it's about time I stopped sending you what I sent you along with the reply to the letter I got at the funeral.

... this time I'll send you the Arlensbach dish that I switched to my taste by offering fish stock.

For those accustomed to Arlensbach cooking, "Yum, but this isn't it! It's fake!" I got a modification that seemed to pop up, but I don't care.

"Nevertheless, you have quite a variety of materials in Ferdinand's workshop. Don't you have to go out of your way to collect it, don't you have everything here?

That's what Clarissa said in an exclamational caged voice as I put out the material as I looked at Hirschüll's notes beside formulating the Devil's Paper. They say it's a mountain of treasure for a civilian who wants to mix it up.

"Ferdinand collected a lot of it, but he said that Yustox collected material from all over the place and took it back to the souvenir. I cannot be divine without giving priority to physical preservation, but Master Ferdinand seems to have collected it during prayer ceremonies and harvest festivals."

I use the magic of shortening my time as I talk about it, and I mix it up with the recipe, staring at it. Ferdinand's recipes are troublesome because of the procedures and the ingredients they use.

... even though it would be faster if you used your magic to pour gold powder all at once. Mmm.

As I was so ready to head to the House of Lords, the Ordonants flew in from Greater Tier. They were able to secure a baptismal costume for Dilk and Beltram and a costume that could be turned to the blue apprentices. They were asking if there were any children's costumes among the items received from the old Veronicans, or if they were looking for costumes that they might be able to back down.

"It needs to fit once. When should I bring it to the temple?

"Let's do it in three days. It should be over by then."

"I'll be back in five days considering your day off"

As a result of Ordnants' exchange, five days later the side service of Gretia and Merhior was to bring the costume to the temple. It was turned from Aub, so the blue apprentices would choose the costume they needed in Merhior's room. Costumes to be worn at the winter baptism ceremony, costumes to be worn in the children's room, those who go to the House of Lords have a lot of things they need, such as black-based costumes, beast riding clothes and conditioning.

"I'll be in the orphanage dressing up Dilk and Beltram."

I took Gretia and her sidekicks to the orphanage and began to dress up Dilk and Beltram in a children's room on the ground floor. We both need costumes for the christening ceremony and the children's room. Paired with tequipaki and costumes, Greater divides the costumes into two cages.

"It's amazing how you get such beautiful clothes"

"Isn't it a lot cheaper and old-fashioned to wear at the baptism ceremony"

"Alas, this is still unworthy of the criminal child. If you don't like it, you should have done it yourself. If you would, I would have had less trouble collecting them."

"Become!?

Greater stares at Beltram and grins cold as Beltram turns bah to unexpected words. There was a clear light of contempt in the blue and green eyes, which usually tend to hide in the forehead.

"You don't understand your position at all. Aub did not save us from mercy or kindness. to secure the number of future nobles. If a criminal's son is still judged to be a disturber, he or she will be immediately disposed of, such as a child who has merely been spared the syndicate."

Beltram's expression froze in Greater's cold eyes and harsh words. At least, it's probably because I've never been spoken like that in an orphanage. Gretia lay more words on the belt rum of her injured face.

"It's not easy to avoid the coalition that's been going on. The only person who can't argue about how fortunate the situation is right now is the anxiety element. Shouldn't we get rid of it before we put it outside, Laurenz?

"Greater, that's too much to say"

When I accidentally stopped Gretia, Gretia smiled and turned her stern eyes to me.

"It is also true that more than ten lives are at stake in the words and deeds of fools, and that there is not enough education for his brother, Laurenz. If you're sweet enough to say that you can't rule out innocent children, even if it's an anxiety element, you should tap into your position or so. Spoiling is not kindness, Master Rosemaine. As it is, you will now lose the life you saved from the coalition of sinful families because of your foolish children."

That wouldn't be serious, would it? and Gretia stares at me still. I nodded cocklessly when I was told that just because I saved it once did not mean it would last.

"Aub, my guardian, says the ring will be ready for you. And Dilk's escort is mine, and Beltram's escort is Merhior's sideline."

"... you escort me even if you want to eliminate me. Thank you. I know, Greater."

Greater laughed small, "I'll just leave the costumes to wear on baptismal day. You'll take it later to the same children's room as last year," he said, standing up, taking the cage back to the castle. Pont and Laurenz slapped Beltram on the head, who turned into a twilight face on the way.

"Beltram. The story is harsh, but her words are true. If I live in a castle, I think I can see reality even if I don't like it. It's not like an orphanage."

Dilk and Bertram then chose the room and furniture to use in the spring. It will not be until spring that I choose to serve. He wants to spend some more time in the orphanage as a gray cleric apprentice and get a room as a blue apprentice when his body grows up enough to perform rituals.

Dirk and Beltram practiced blessing with the ring I lent them, practicing fesh peel for revelation, remembering the order of rituals to be performed at baptism and the ascent and descent of nobility, and wintering as they prepared for the flutter.

On the day of the baptismal ceremony, I had my ritual costume dressed in the castle's own room in a leaselator and Otilier. Gretia is going to the temple to escort Dilk. I'm supposed to let him get dressed and bring him some fesh peels for the kids in the orphanage.

"After today's ritual, you're bringing this costume to the House of Lords, right?

"That's right. Aub Krassenburg contacted his adoptive father and told him that the House of Lords was to hold a dedication ceremony shortly after it began."

The period of the service ceremony must be avoided in order to receive a loan of divine objects from the Central Temple, and it is better to experience divinity at the earliest possible time in order for the third year students who perform the ritual of obtaining protection to obtain a little more protection. As a result of discussions at the Central Temple, the House of Lords teachers, etc., it was decided that the dedication ceremony of the students would be held in triplicate at lower, intermediate and advanced levels, shortly after the House of Lords began.

"My convenience is ignored. What do you think, Lieselator?

"It is always the case that decisions by the centre and upper territories are pushed. But in order to reduce Rosemayne's burden, Mr. Charlotte asked Mr. Wilfried to hang up with Mr. Aub to see if the intermediate service would be arranged by Mr. Wilfried."

"That would help."

It is certain that time will be taken to prepare for the ritual and the meeting, so if we do not finish more and more lectures, we will not be able to make it to Aerenfest's service ceremony.

"The blue clerics who accompanied us during the Lords' Conference at Aub's negotiation will also be able to accompany us to the House of Lords, so it's comforting that we'll have a lot of escorts until after the service ceremony."

"Though the sudden decision to accompany us seems to be making it very difficult to prepare for the House of Lords with our plans for winter socialization screwed up."

Haltmut, the chief cleric, Brother Cornelius, who was a blue escort knight, Darmuel, Leonore and Angelica were allowed access to the House of Lords until the end of the service ceremony. It helps, but it's tough.

When I finished dressing, the Ordnants flew in from Greater Tier. Dirk and Bertram, as well as the blue apprentices, seem to have arrived at the castle.

"Welcome the new Aerenfest child."

The door opens wide with the words of Hartmoot, who stands beside me on the altar, and the children who join the aristocracy enter. With twelve children, Dirk and Bertram were walking at the rear.

There will be six baptisms on this occasion. Haltmoot tells the myth, and magic registrations are made from the less stately.

"Dilk."

Dirk, called by his name, comes forward with a tense face. I offered Dirk the magic equipment for the magic test. Dilk takes the magic stick and makes it glow. The applause boiled. Nicole smiled at the howling dilk, and when I took out the medal, I let the magic equipment press like a seal to register.

... What, this?

I signed up for magic, but the colors barely change. It feels weird like it's not attached, like it's all colored in a very nagging shade. Strongly speaking, I feel that the wind attributes are strong.

... What can I do when this is the case?

I looked back, looking for Ferdinand's appearance, and my eyes met with Haltmut. Somehow, it's just a little awkward.

He didn't seem to notice me like that, and Haltmoot approached him and peered into the medal. And he muttered, "There seems to be a protection of the wind," with a seemingly puzzling face just like mine. I also know that there is likely to be wind protection for once.

... Hartmoot doesn't even seem to know.

No matter how much I thought, I couldn't possibly get an answer, so I turned my gaze to Dirk and smiled.

"We have the protection of the wind. You will receive more blessings by worrying about what the gods deserve to do."

Something a little weird happened, but I'm done registering magic for the medal. Put it in a box for Haltmoot to manage. At the end of his registration, his adoptive father with a magic tool ring came onto the stage.

As soon as possible, the inside of the Great Hall begins to creep. "Is that the child of the old Veronicans," "the child who spared the syndicate," the hissing voice began to rise. I have a good idea of the reality of the castle that Gretia used to say about what the children of the old Veronicans who were spared the syndicate think.

In total disregard of such surrounding voices, the adoptive father gives Dirk a ring.

"Let's give a ring to Dirk, who has been recognized by God and everyone. From now on, I will be your guardian. Therefore, the rank is determined not by the rank of the parent, but by the magic power of the parent. It is the birth of a new intermediate nobleman. Congratulations, Dilk."

"Thank you very much, Aub Aerenfest"

Dilk looked nervous. Carefully thanking him with a smile, he dropped his gaze on the red Demon Stone ring that fell into his middle finger on his left hand.

"Bless Dirk with the blessing of Gedurlich, the goddess of earth"

When I give blessings, Dilk also returns blessings as he practiced. A puffy light floated, and it reached me.

I hear paralysis and neglected applause. Anxiety spread to my chest that the atmosphere was different from the baptismal ceremony I had experienced so far. But that concludes Dirk's christening ceremony.

"Beltram"

In the gaze of the aristocrats searching for stiffness and coarseness, Beltram also comes forward and registers his magic, just like Dirk. Beltram normally changed color. What was Dirk? Even when compared to each other, they are clearly different from my time.

... I was all attributes, so maybe I'm weirder as a comparison.

"We have water and fire protection. You will receive more blessings by worrying about what the gods deserve to do."

When Beltram's magic registration was over, his adoptive father brought him another ring. Now it comes with a blue demon stone. Beltram was apparently born in the summer.

"Let's give a ring to Beltram, who has been recognised by God and everyone. From now on, I will be your guardian. Therefore, the rank is determined not by the rank of the parent, but by the magic power of the parent. It is the birth of a new intermediate nobleman. Congratulations, Beltram"

"Thank you very much, Aub Aerenfest"

Beltram said so and knelt on the spot, reaching out to his adoptive father. I wasn't tall enough to take my hand and forehead, but my adoptive father seemed to understand what I wanted to do. Bend down a little and offer your hand toward the belt ram. Beltram took his adoptive father's hand and put his forehead on A's.

The nobles' whispering voice stopped for a moment at the figure of Beltram offering his greatest gratitude to Aub on the altar.

Afterwards, after the baptism ceremony of the other children, the revelation of the fesh peel took place. Disclosure begins with lower nobility, playing in the order of dilk and bertram in intermediate nobility. I think Dilk played well for less practice time. Beltram was still a good performer who knew very well that he was a well-educated aristocratic child.

At the end of the disclosure, it is dissolved for lunch once in the words of Haltmut's tightening. And I will get dressed, and I will have lunch, and I will go again to the great hall. Now there was an award ceremony for freshmen entering the House of Lords, and the announcement of the date of travel to the House of Lords was made. I see Nicolaus getting a cape and brooch.

In a social setting, he said, "Are you at the Central Temple?" It was often questioned, "and it was often seen that Wilfried, who was escorting me," That is not the case, "drives the nobles away.

Upon finishing my greeting with the nobles of one street, I turn to the children of the old Veronicans in solidarity with them: "Let's do our best in the House of Lords this year". A few aristocrats, much disappointed in the food, caught my eye. Years ago it's still unusual to be immersed in such a large gathering in a dish that isn't uncommon anymore.

... Weird people.

"Dear Rosemaine,"

I looked back to Dirk's voice. Dilk was with his escort, Gretia, and Beltram. Apparently, they're expanding their interaction around the blue apprentices.

"Dirk, don't get too familiar with Master Rosemayne. We must wait for Lady Rosemaine to speak to us."

Beltram pulls Dirk's arm and teaches him how to do it in the aristocratic society. Dirk listened to Beltram and apologized to me, "I am sorry, Master Rosemayne". I turn my gaze to Beltram after laughing nicely at Dilk.

"Beltram, it was lovely. A visible demonstration of gratitude to Aub stopped the voices of the nobles for a moment."

Beltram looks like he's stuck in words, slightly out of sight. Maybe it's lit. Laurenz said with a little knoll, "Shall I kneel down and thank you?" Even brothers seem quite different, even though they have such a personality.

"Beltram, after this, don't watch Dirk make a big mistake with Greater"

"Don't push yourself too hard, Master Rosemaine"

Surveillance of Dirk, who does not know the common sense of the aristocracy, will be difficult. But even though I look a little disgusted, I'm horrified that the Beltram figure I'm teaching Dirk in detail looks kind of alive just a little bit.

"Looks like Beltram's going to be okay, Greater"

"It's too soon to be relieved, Master Rosemaine"

The winter social world began as I felt with my skin a narrow shoulder feeling of the old Veronican nobility from my gaze and end of words to the children.
