Ascendance of a Bookworm

"Master Rosemaine, please wake up. It's time to get ready."

I was asleep and the reseller woke me up. It's pretty neat after just a little sleep. I asked the two Lieselators and Gretia to change into beast clothes, and remember to leave the room when I put Ferdinand's famous sacrificial stone in a leather bag. There are already guard knights downstairs wearing demon stone armor.

"Rezelator, Greater, Lasafam. Ask to be away from the library. How to use the magic equipment of defense…"

"It's okay, Master Rosemaine. Don't worry about this one. Think only of saving Master Ferdinand. Aub is waiting for you."

Rezelator smiles and blocks my words, urging me to contact my adoptive father. I flew Ordnants to my adoptive father.

"My adoptive father, it's Rosemaine. I'm leaving now. Are you ready?

"It's done. It's the first training ground. Come quick."

With Brother Cornelius and Leonore at the head, a horseman flies to the first training ground of the Knights in the castle. It is not clear to me that I am called the primary training ground. I'm just following you forward. My Lesser Bus is loaded with magic tools and healing pills, and Hultmoot and Justkus are on board for its management.

"I don't think Justkus needs a ride..."

"We must review the types of medications and procedures to be administered to Master Ferdinand. If you put it down, it's Haltmoot."

There's no way Haltmoot would admit that, so we ended up putting them both on board. Haltmoot is excited about what I do in this rescue play, and Justkus touches the lesser bus "as funny a horseman as ever".

... Do you act with these two all the time this time?

"Master Rosemaine!

"Hey, vacate the place. The Horsebeast is coming down!

There were more knights in Training Ground 1 than usual, even though it was midnight. There are more knights on the night shift and they seem to be waiting to be called whenever they want. I can see that everyone has a tough face and a pressing atmosphere that I can see is ready for Georgine.

"Here."

My adoptive father and his proximity were waiting on a huge transfer team set up in the first training ground. It's a transfer formation to transfer people who can only be installed in Aub. This will take you all the way to Kilnberga.

"Thank you for taking the time. I know, adoptive father."

"It's a preliminary exercise to see if we can travel large numbers for the arrival of Arlensbach. Never mind. If you find that you can use it well, you have a lot of profit here too."

While me and my adoptive father are talking, all but my horseman, loaded with a lot of luggage, will be cleared, and everyone will be on top of the transfer formation. During that short time, your father gently slapped Brother Eckhardt and Brother Cornelius on the shoulder.

"Eckhardt, Cornelius. Protect Master Ferdinand and Master Rosemayne as escort knights and return safely."

"I'll take care of it"

As they all rode in the transfer formation, the adoptive father raised his hand. The escort knights who were lining up behind his adoptive father began to move, kneeling and putting their hands on the transfer formation. The magic poured in for a few, and darkness and light swirled into the transfer formation. Bubble and Aerenfest colored capes dance in the wind. In the meantime, my adoptive father put up a stamp.

"Nenlüssel Kilnberga"

Just like when we move to the House of Lords, our vision is distorted. It makes me sick, so when I was closing my eyes and doing a little floating, I heard "Welcome aboard, Aub Aerenfest". When I open my eyes, Geebe Kilnberga is welcoming me with a few knights.

... I'm really here.

This is the corner of the summer hall of Ghibe Kilnberga. There is a transfer team set up by Aub in Geebe's Hall so that the Knights can rush when things happen in the territory. Apparently there was no such thing as having to send a large number of knights for generations, so they were forgotten to exist from Aub as well. When I found out about its existence in the book of Mestionora, I suggested that I want to use it for this trip, so that my adoptive father could use it.

"This is handy. If something goes wrong in the south, it's going to work."

"Aub, we need time to recover with the healing pills before we can fight when we use the metastatic formation"

"How about using a civilian or a side service to activate the magic formation?

"Dear adoptive father, please leave the discussion behind and open the border gates," he called toward the faces who began to verify the transfer formation at the same time as his arrival.

"Right. Verification is behind us. Let's go."

Even from this position you can see the border gates floating white in the light of the moon. I suppressed the deviant mind that I most wanted to pop out of, and waited for everyone to let out the horseman. Our adoptive father and his neighbors first, and we drive the beast about afterwards.

When he arrived at the boundary gate, his adoptive father gently knocked on the gate as he took out the starp and chanted "Ephnetoa". The white border gate slowly begins to open. At the same time, we begin to see pale rainbow border gates with shimmering like pearl layers of shellfish used for spiral craftsmanship. Is it because of the magic that it looks slightly glowing, not just the moonlight?

"... Rosemaine, are you sure you can use it?

"It's okay."

My adoptive father looks up at the border gate and squeals. Even if we don't hold the foundations of the country, we can use the border gates if we have the Gluthris Heights. The second prince of the predecessor Zent also headed for the opening and closing of the border gate simply by depositing the Gluthrithheit, and the Torquenheit, who founded the Lanzenave, has also taken the liberty of opening the border gate and running.

... My book of Mestionora can't even open or close the gate because the magic formation is missing, and I just can use the already installed transfer formation.

That's enough for this time. I went down the mounted beast, and approached the border gate, and sent out a stamp.

"Gluthris Height"

The book of Mestionora appears in my hand. I found those behind me breathtaking, but ignored it, and I pressed the book of Mestionora against the gate.

... Wow!

I can see the magic getting sucked with tremendous momentum. It's probably because I haven't had a magic supply before. As he shed his magic, the gate, which was glowing pale and rainbow, began to glow strongly. At the same time, it starts to sound like something deviates from Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu, though not so loud. I can see the triangular roof starting to move to slip left and right.

"Ho...... Isn't it just the goddess of wisdom, Mestionora, who once again gives light to the border gates of all the attributes with her hands: the golden eyes with the protection of the goddess of light in the hair of the night sky, spoiled by the gods of darkness, her beauty blessed by the various gods"

... Shut up, please. Because the Kilnberga people don't pull!

"Something like this..."

"Is this... Huh!?

"No way, Master Rosemayne..."

The exhilarating praise of Clarissa and Hartmoot mixes the surprise voices of adoptive fathers and the knights of Kilnberga. Kilnberga's border gates haven't moved in about two hundred years. I guess it would be surprising to just be given magic and more light in this way.

But I don't care about the surprises around me. We have to go fast. I gaze at the movement of the roof. There's got to be a transfer team in there that can move from the border gate to the border gate.

"You can also go up the stairs of the gatepost, but it's a waste of time, so we'll go by horseback. Those who go to Ahrensbach, do not ride my horseback."

Since any horseman other than me who has opened this gate will be bounced, I will give instructions to the proximities who will accompany him to Ahrensbach to clean up the horseman and take the Lesser Bus. While everyone boarded, I turned to my adoptive father.

"Okay, I'll go. I will definitely bring Master Ferdinand back."

"Wait, Rosemaine. Take this... I keep it from Prince Gigisvalt."

My adoptive father gave me a necklace of amulet magic equipment with a royal crest engraved in gold on the demonic stones of the six attributes. It's not so strong, but it's also engraved with the magic of protection.

"Is it from Prince Gigisvalt? When did you meet her?

"After listening to the Justkus."

According to my adoptive father, when I sent Zent an urgent communication, he said he wanted to talk to me in person. When Rosemaine is involved, Prince Anastasius seems to tell her to figure out everything she can beforehand because she doesn't know what's going to happen.

"At first, I saw him three days later..." Zent said, "but three days later, it's over, so it'll be an after-action report, and he sent Prince Gigisvalt to Aerenfest's tea party room."

Besides being busy, he couldn't leave Zent because the Knights Commander happened to be off today. Talking to Prince Gigisvalt, it seems that his adoptive father deposited the amulet from Prince Gigisvalt instead.

"As I will always wear this because it will be a sign that I have the royal forgiveness, so be it. Turn around. Let me put it on you."

It's a big difference not to have royal forgiveness. I am thankful to turn my back to my adoptive father to receive the care of Prince Gigisvalt, and I can pull my hair together and retreat so that I can easily put on my necklace. Unlike then, I get Ferdinand's amulet on my side like every day, so it's a familiar behavior. They won't say, "You've never gotten a man a decoration before" anymore.

... I've grown up. Ornaments, they're all over the place.

"It's like the black amulet my adoptive father gave me. Now will the amulet of Prince Gigisvalt bring me?

"They should protect every person they want to protect.... Go."

I heard a chilli and clasp, and my adoptive father gently pushed me back. And I nodded and rode the horseman, and ran up upon the border gate, and descended upon the interior, where the roof was sliding and visible.

And when I came down, it was a rainbow floor. A large transfer formation is laid there. I guess it's because Zent used to bring the neighbors here every year. In the old days of the Book of Mestionora there was also a description of Zento running around with a horseman around the city with its gorgeous border gates with his proximity. The less time passes, the fewer people I take with me, and I seem to be saving magic.

I will come down from the mounted beast and stand upon the transferring formation. I saw adoptive fathers and fathers riding beasts on the roof of the boundary gate of Kilnberga and over it. When I smile and wave, I give out a stamp.

"Gluthris Height"

The surface of my book of Mestionora is glowing so that it is easy to read even in the dark space of night. Very convenient and easy to read. I search for ways to gently move my fingers and move the transition formation, choosing the magic formation shown on the screen as a ton.

"Case Russell, Dunkelferger"

A magic formation popped out of the screen. A magic formation emitting light of all attributes floats in the air and rotates as it emits light over the transfer formation. As prompted by its light, the transfer formation depicted below also began to move. Surprised by the feeling of being sucked of magic from above and from below, I shed my magic.

The light running made my vision white. Close your eyes to the floating sensation that is characteristic of metastasis. "I asked for Ferdinand, Rosemaine!" The last time I heard my adoptive father's voice.

"Ohhh!!

A wild roar echoed in the sensation of shaking. That alone shows that we have arrived in Dunkelferger. I think the temperature has risen by five degrees. Honestly, it's hot.

When I opened my eyes, it was inside the border gate. Dunkelferger's knights are invisible, as the transfer formation glows and the border gates themselves are lit, but the roof is not open.

"Even if the roof isn't open, your voice sounds so far. I was so excited before I arrived in Arlensbach that I felt like I was losing my strength..."

"It doesn't exist in such a weak knight, Dunkelferger. Don't worry."

Clarissa smiles and undertakes, but in a different way makes me anxious. I wondered if I would really lead these excited knights.

"Plus, there's movement at the border gates where Zent hasn't visited in over a decade. Naturally, we're all excited."

... Oh well. It's been over a decade for Dunkelferger.

I find Clarissa's words strangely convincing. The only phenomenon in Aerenfest that can only be seen in history books is also one that Dunkelferger has seen with his own eyes. Apparently it's not so surprising that I don't have a voice.

And when I came down from the horseman alone, I pressed the book of Mestionora against the wall. We must open the roof of the border gate with magic in it. Little by little the roar grows proportional to the roof opening.

Seeing it fully open, I rode into the mounted beast and ran up to the sky to move to the boundary gate of Dunkelferger.

There were more knights gathered on the roof of Dunkelferger's boundary gate than expected. On the roof of the gatepost on the right is aligned in ten rows with ten knights armed and ready for battle. Before that I can see a shadow for two, but are they like commanders?

On the roof of the gatepost on the left is a few times as glistening as the unarmed drop-offs and tourist-like people. The rooftops of the border gates on the left are full.

I go to the rooftop of the gatepost on the right. I could see Aub and his wife and Restylaut following their sides and in front of the willing knights.

"Aub Dunkelferger, then, aspiring knights. Thank you very much for responding to our sudden request."

As I descend from the horseman, anyone but Aub Dunkelferger, who spoke in a watermirror correspondence, stares at me breathlessly. Especially with Lestiraut's stunned gaze.

"I heard more about you than Aub, are you sure it's Master Rosemayne?

"Yes, definitely"

I hear Hannelore's voice and look back at you reflexively. He thought it was because he was a minor not lining up with Mr. and Mrs. Aub or Restylaut, but he was on the spot.

... Wait a minute.

Aside from the Aubs, the only knights on this scene should be knights who have hardened their whole bodies with armor. I, too, breathe in the figure of Hannelore, who gazes lightly at me.

"Dear Hannelore, I don't think that's a good idea..."

Hannelore, who has spoken to me, is solidifying his whole body with demonic stone armor. It is clear that you are in the ranks of the outgoing members.

"I played a terrible lapse in my daughter-in-law stealing ditter in the third grade of the House of Lords. In Dunkelferger, you have to snow Ditter's shame in Ditter's victory. We will do everything we can to help you, Master Rosemaine, so please don't hesitate to join us."

That's what Hannelore said with a shy smile. The atmosphere and lines don't match at all.

... Ditter's shame snows in Ditter's victory, what's that!?
