Ascendance of a Bookworm

"But I was told that the magic would be too thin for Jurgenschmitt to collapse, and that Master Ferdinand would complete the book of Mestionora?

"Because you have more, I was just told what it means to die to complete the book of Mestionora?

... Dear Air Vermeen!

"Dear Ferdinand, why don't you leave Master Airvermeen alone and start by verifying if we really need to complete the book of Mestionora? If we supply the border gates with magic, we'll be able to buy a little more time."

"Another optimistic and swallowing thing...... Aren't you the one who crushed my plan?"

Ferdinand, who was squinting at me, looked at me resentfully, pointing only at me.

How dare Ferdinand try to complement his knowledge by going to Airvermeen to make a gluthris heit as a magic tool to give to the royal family. But Ferdinand, who had been recognized by the same person because I was in, could not be admitted, and in the spring, when he visited again, he could not fill the hole of knowledge because I had taken the rest of the book of Mestionora.

"If you're thinking about something that important, you should have told me. I was going to be Zent's adopted daughter and get a gluthris height in the basement library. I don't care if you complain like that, even though I didn't know Master Ferdinand's plan."

"I don't want you to tell me anything important. When I first came up with my plan, it was when each territory offered to make you head of the Temple of the Central Temple. At least there have been no reports of him becoming the king's adopted daughter."

I get up gently with a face with a wrinkle firmly carved between my eyebrows, and I am stuck in words for a moment in the words of Ferdinand, who sat on the wall. Ferdinand hasn't even told me, but I haven't told Ferdinand anything important either. I will sit beside Ferdinand and try to excuse myself.

"... my adoptive father and royalty told me that I had no use for anything else. If I wanted to talk to Master Ferdinand, there were plenty more foolish things I couldn't tell you unless it was a hidden room."

"I don't care about your stupidity, take these shackles off"

... Doesn't matter! Listen to me!

Although it has been flushed lightly, I know that it is more important to remove the shackles than my stupidity or to talk about the current situation in Gluthrithheit or Arlensbach. I tried to touch the shackles that were protruded before me. I don't see any key holes in the tight shackles.

"If it's something you can remove, I'll remove it as soon as possible, but how do you remove this? I don't have a key, do I? Does Master Ferdinand know where the keys are?

Looking for the keyhole and looking over the shackles, Ferdinand turned to a frightened face and said, "Do you see the keyhole?"

"I'm looking for you because I can't see you."

"What the hell is your Bible for? Find out if you don't know. Use unlocking magic formations, not keys. I have some from time to time too, so you can fill and develop the missing parts of the magic formation by comparison."

"... I feel that they are demanding something very difficult."

I didn't think of the book of Mestionora at all because I didn't really use it because I didn't want anyone else to find it. Does Ferdinand maybe use it on a daily basis? With that in mind, I cast out the book of Mestionora by chanting "Gluthrithheit" to search for ways to remove the shackles.

"What, what's its shape? Also insane...... It's called the Riding Beast, it's called the Bible, and your things are in unusual shape."

Ferdinand, who saw my book of Mestionora in the form of a tablet, says so in a throwing tone and slowly shakes his neck from left to right.

"The shape may be insane, but my book of Mestionora is high performance. The 'screen' can glow and read even in the dark, and it's easy to find out if you put in the words you want to look into here. Isn't that amazing?

I boast of how excellent my book of Mestionora is. Ugh, with his chest stretched, Ferdinand looked somewhat strange.

"The book of Mestionora is for examining the knowledge you want, so if you open it, you get the knowledge you want. The letters themselves glow, making it possible to read them even in the dark. If you have to put in words you want to look into on purpose, wouldn't your Bible rather be an inconvenience?

"... oh, no"

When I was stunned by unexpected words, Ferdinand leaned slightly into my book of Mestionora and said, "This is the magic formation. Draw with Stilo," he said. I can't tell, but Ferdinand has an ancient magic formation, and I have a new era.

"Copy it, Pettan!

It was a hassle to draw with Stilo, so I use Coppell magic to copy it onto the Devil's Paper I had, flush the magic and activate it. Gachan and I made a noise and the shackles fell to the floor.

... That's it.

"Rosemaine, what the hell did you do?

To Ferdinand with a stunned expression I put my chest up, "Ugh," this time.

"It's the Coppell magic I created. There's a lot of constraints, but this one's handy, right?

"Insanity is extreme, but the word convenience makes sense. Teach me the principles and pronunciation."

"... it's an emergency, so please put it behind you."

I don't think I have time to study Coppell magic here. As I pointed out, Ferdinand began to shake and open his hand several times in the face. I'm going to tell Ferdinand about Aerenfest in rehab. We sent Justkus and Eckhardt to Aerenfest, so Ferdinand thought he would want to know more about Aerenfest than Aerensbach currently has.

"Well, Aerenfest's defensive preparations had already begun"

"Yes, the aristocracy of the territory was working with total force. I also made battle-specific magic equipment in Schwartz's different colors to consolidate the temple's protection."

"You are as incomprehensible as ever. Did you need to schmill some combat specialty magic equipment?

"The reseller made it a schmill. Isn't it good because it's cute"

While we were talking about Aerenfest, Ferdinand's fingertips, which weren't moving much, got a little bit more moving. Lifting and lowering your arms seems to be getting better, but the frustration of not moving your body as well as you think is clearly manifested in the wrinkles between your brows.

"Rosemaine"

"What is it? If there's anything else you want to know, don't ask me. Or do you need some more medicine?

"No, give me your cheeks. I thought you said we could stick together.

He wants to connect my cheeks when he suddenly wonders what to say with a serious face. I don't think he's doing anything particularly likely to scold me, but what did he suddenly say? Is that something that needs to be made this emergency? I have no idea what the hell Ferdinand is thinking.

"That's, well, I told you... hands, they're not fully working yet, are they?

"It's not complete, but it's starting to move. It doesn't hurt that much now."

I said, "When I can move completely, I have no choice."

Though I'll try to argue with you, I appreciate it doesn't hurt to be twisted. I sit back in the front of Ferdinand, between my legs, offering "go ahead" and cheeks.

Still blunt fingertips of movement touched my right cheek. My fingers are moving, and although it feels like they are being rubbed slightly by accident, I am not pinching them at all. I don't know, is this satisfying? As I tilted my neck, Ferdinand's hand began to move down my cheek.

"Dear Ferdinand, I don't think that's the cheek there..."

Ferdinand's left hand hits the jaw line from the cheekbone. The movement of the thumb was more pinchy than earlier. A strange impression of whether he repositioned his hand for this or wanted to pinch his cheek so badly began to overflow the green light from the ring.

"Give Rosemaine the healing of Lungshmer..."

The discomfort on the neck disappeared softly. Apparently he erased the trace of the chain on my neck. Glad, but not happy.

"Dear Ferdinand, what are you doing when you have to restore your body and magic!? Ferdinand's recovery is paramount! It didn't even hurt that much, so my healing is behind me..."

"It was just good enough to see if my magic would work properly.... Oh, and don't leave Starp without a problem"

Ferdinand took his gaze off of me and let go of his hand from his cheek, and now he began to stamp out or change.

... Ask again! Humph!

It still seems difficult to get up and walk around, but Ferdinand is recovering well. I know enough with that attitude that I thought it would be more restful, but I don't seem to be willing to listen to anything I say.

"Looks like Master Ferdinand is recovering, and I'm going to go outside once and report to everyone and find the Demon Stone for registration."

"Rosemaine"

I was called out where I was about to get up, and I fell on my knees and said, "Now what?," he peered into Ferdinand's face.

"... tell me your Gedurlich"

"Huh? Um, is that... is it something you have to do now? Everyone is waiting outside..."

Suddenly, when I am asked the question that was driving me to the corner of my head, I am wolfed and bowed down. Ferdinand's gaze was fixed at one point.

"I thought your Gedurlich was the same Aerenfest as me. But you are courted by royalty and seem to accept it. I want to know your Gedurlich now."

"Huh?"

I wasn't sure what Ferdinand was talking about, but at the end of my gaze is the necklace Prince Gigisvalt gave me. It was at the same time that I held the necklace and voiced "Ah" as Ferdinand remembered something.

"Speaking of which, was your marriage to the prince your dream? That's what you told me when you wrote the absurd story. I never thought that would happen..."

"Wait a minute! Objection! Marrying Prince Gigisvalt is not my dream. It's kind of a nightmare to marry a man with a wife and children who doesn't have one of those books. There can't be any balls with a lower standard of living."

It is unacceptable to be pulled away from the library and sent to places where there is not a single new book, or geared towards an environment where the printing industry is unlikely to be involved until adulthood.

"By and large, my ideal husband is my father. I like someone who helps me advance toward what I want to do and takes care of me from everything regardless of my identity or anything. Even Prince Gigisvalt can't compare it. This is a sign that the royal family is giving permission to rescue Master Ferdinand this time, and it has nothing to do with the proposal. Look closely. If it's not all attributes, it's not even engraved, is it?

Then he forcefully theorizes how Prince Gigisvalt is out of my ideals and talks about his ideal future.

"I want to spend the whole day in a library reading. I want to have a good meal with my family and friendly people, read my favorite books, and have a life wandering around looking for books I've never read in the library in my spare place. Become a librarian working in the library, and try to find books that users want, repair and resurrect old materials, study magic equipment and build a library 'network' with other realms to scratch books from various places... That's what I want to do. I can't believe you didn't give me a single book and you dreamed of marrying a prince who had to wait for the printing business until adulthood... even a misunderstanding is too bad"

Ha and I sat on the spot pulling out the power in my body with my deep breath. Ferdinand grins bitterly as he listened to my theory of power.

"Okay. I seem to have made a terrible misconception from your claim that your fever was caged."

"Don't worry, it's a misunderstanding in terms of ideals and dreams, but it's not a misunderstanding when it comes to reality"

"... what do you mean?

To Ferdinand I smiled so that "before the Lords' Conference, I was going to become the king's adopted daughter and marry the next Zent, far from ideal," so that the air was not as heavy as possible. I've been hiding it, and it's been decided for the Lords' Conference a little later.

"... you're marrying Prince Gigisvalt?

How surprised I am, Ferdinand asks me with a face like a lost expression. Maybe I remember myself being forced to marry by royal fate?

"Well, I'm not the one who wants Prince Gigisvalt, it's Gluthrithheit and my magic. I, a former civilian, am married to a prince. That's funny, isn't it? Though the prince doesn't want me to be on the table to do anything out of noble common sense, and he doesn't want to break the power relations between the present territories."

"You... made it good for yourself to be treated like that?

Ferdinand became a tough face, but once I pulled my lips together and nodded. It was a good idea. Because what mattered to me was Ferdinand's dodging of the syndicate.

"I, the families of the Lower Town, the Gutenbergs, the sidelines of the Temple, Dear Ferdinand... If my dear Gedurlich is in danger, Jürgenschmitt will save Gedurlich with all his might later. But I can't say what happens to Jürgenschmidt if everything is all right. Without Jurgenschmidt, my loved ones would not live in peace."

That's why it's good. It is absolutely necessary that I complete the book of Mestionora, or obtain the royal gluthrithheit in the underground library, than the fall of Jürgenschmitt is imminent, for which I cannot help but become royal.

"Beyond becoming royal, I use all the power I can to protect my loved ones. I will not allow Master Ferdinand to be in a coalition, and I will use all means to return to Aerenfest, which is Master Ferdinand's Gedurleach. Don't worry."

"... are you going to leave everything as important in Aerenfest as I am? And protect me, huh?

That's what Ferdinand said with a terribly bitter face. I guess I'm overlapping my past toward Arlensbach. I laugh nicely to reassure Ferdinand.

"Don't worry, Master Ferdinand. I'll be fine. The families of Lower Town are exclusive, and Lutz and Benno and the Plantan Chamber of Commerce follow me to the center so that I can start printing at the same time as my adults. The Temple will now be managed by Merhior as the Temple Chief, and the Prestige Group was given permission to take even minors. If you go to the center, you can handle it."

So I remembered that I must return Ferdinand's famous sacrificial stone. Remove the white cocoon-like namesake stone that was in the leather bag and let it grip in Ferdinand's right hand.

"I'll give it back. Though to save Master Ferdinand's life, I apologize for taking his name at will. Now that you have your own stash room, it would be safer to keep it there, wouldn't it?

Ferdinand, who received the famous stone, shook his right hand to grip a tight fist, laying his eyes down.

"... you take me..."

"What is it?

"No, you easily return me to Aerenfest, but I can't. Those who end up needing them. There is no way I can leave Arlensbach. So you don't have to be the king's adopted daughter."

To the voice of Ferdinand, who lacks the kind of power with which despair drifts, I state to Ferdinand my plans for the future, which I did not plan to teach.

"Uh, this is a secret, but if I become the king's adopted daughter and get the gluthris height in the basement library, I'll redraw the line of territory. So, it's okay. Until then, I'll do something near me and me..."

Ferdinand shook his fist and looked at me with a slightly shaky and visible eye. Ferdinand is very angry, though I'm not sure what caused it. It's not me, and it's not normal to see emotional swings at a glance in Ferdinand's eyes.

... Huh? Where did I switch on the Demon King?
