Ascendance of a Bookworm

Now I have decided to be Aub. And I was the first to express my determination to my adoptive father, who would be most influenced by my becoming Aub. I should have braced my stomach that I had to discuss it to make my adoptive father understand my thoughts, why "already know"? I can't solve it.

"You already know... can I go to Arlensbach? To Aerenfest......"

"Isn't that natural, Master Rosemaine? We also have permission from Aub Aerenfest."

... Ah.

I instantly guessed with the smiles of Hannelore and Heishitze and the slightly far-sighted adoptive fathers. The Lords have already been persuaded by the pressure of the Great Territories. Dunkelferger's persuasion must have been unbeatable at Aerenfest, where he has had much lower profile diplomacy against the upper realm.

"It is unreasonable not to allow it to be Aub while giving permission to take away the foundations of Arlensbach. Besides, I know that the Zent candidate who got Gluthris Heights is superior to the current royalty who doesn't have Gluthris Heights.... That's why."

Isn't that a theory that Dunkelferger alone goes through? I get a little worried that you're really going to be okay. But Hannelore is telling me that it will be the back shield. I guess it's a unified opinion, at least in Dunkelferger.

"If Jürgenschmidt is to be brought with gluthrithheit, it is no different to leave Aerenfest, whether its destination is in the center or Arlensbach. I hear the movement of luggage and people is pretty much the same."

"Yes, we will move a few gray clerics and gray witches to perform temple maintenance, but unlike blue, there is no particular magical change, and we plan to educate backward"

"We're just talking about moving the luggage and personnel we were already preparing, even with some increase or decrease," Haltmoot began with a lively look, his adoptive father shook his head with a tired face and murmured, "I understand now.

"I'm glad you understand Aub Aerenfest."

Looking at Hannelore, the smile she had cut off, and her closeness, I feel compelled to apologize to my adoptive father from the bottom of my heart.

"My adoptive father, I'm so sorry for your tiredness. I didn't think this would happen to me when I went to the temple..."

"No, you don't have to apologize. Determined that Ferdinand would negotiate with the royal family so that they would not be at Aerenfest's disadvantage, I would have no objection if the two of them came together and headed to Aerensbach. Now that I've left Georgine, it's about the royal family and others who bring me hard work. I have a mountain to say to the status quo where things change from the next to the next, but that doesn't matter until the Lords' Council is over and everything is settled"

Waving and complaining with a patter, my adoptive father looked with a faint eye at Ferdinand, who lined up next to me.

"Isn't it who wanted me to not stick to Aerenfest and give top priority to my happiness in Aerensbach? I just decided to live the way they wanted me to."

Ferdinand laughs nicely after saying that with a firm face. My adoptive father, who caught my cheek all the time, glanced lightly at Ferdinand with a mixed look of angst and joy. "This is all the time..."

The interaction between the two is as if they were paying people to talk to each other, making them feel so insecure that they wonder if it's to show Hannelore and the others.

"Whatever you want but good"

"Dear adoptive father, Ferdinand's Gedurlich..."

"I already know that, too. Would it have been decided to build three or four laboratories?

Ferdinand seems to be having fun and most importantly, although he says to throw, his adoptive father is mistaken. The truth is, I wanted an institute in Aerenfest, but it was rejected, so I had no choice but to try to get an institute in Aerensbach.

"Dear adoptive father, Ferdinand's Gedurlich is Aerenfest, so it's better to build an institute here so he can go back anytime..."

"I can't afford to build an institute in Aerenfest. If you promise Ferdinand, build it more responsibly. This one comes first to rebuild Gerlach's summer hall, which it completely destroyed. Ferdinand messed with the foundations of Geebe's Hall, so he told me to rebuild it from the beginning."

And behold, I held my head.

"Oh, ahhh! I'm so sorry! I'll make and deliver gold powder later."

"Not that you're cheap right now."

"Ah..."

I look up at Ferdinand, who conceals the phrase that, while worrying about Dunkelferger's gaze, he won't even touch the demon stone. No matter how much magic you have, you can't do anything if you're afraid of demon stones. I dropped my shoulder in a reminder of how useless I am now.

"We intend to induce aid and accommodation in the form of compensation from Arlensbach to Aerenfest. It's not like you and Aerenfest are gonna lose their relationship, so we're gonna have to hurry up and make amends."

Ferdinand slapped me gently on the shoulder, saying there was no need to rush.

"Besides, you seem adamant about getting me back to Aerenfest, but even without me, Zilvester is doing it as Aub. I don't mind if I'm allowed an occasional return home."

"I'm not so narrow as to not allow an occasional return home. I'll take care of the hall."

Soon between my adoptive father and Ferdinand, Ferdinand has decided to live in Arlensbach.

"Dear Ferdinand, may I really be spending some time in Arlensbach? Have you put up with self-sacrifice or something?

"I'll be persistent. It's the result of my choice."

"They say it's the result of Ferdinand's rare prioritization of his happiness. It's not about making an extra mouthful. Three or four labs, I presume? Sufficient consideration. Just let him like Ferdinand."

I held my fist much to the word of my adoptive father. It's not a self-sacrifice, it's only good if Ferdinand chooses Arlensbach as a result of his pursuit of happiness.

"Okay. I, as Aub Ahrensbach, will prepare an environment in which Master Ferdinand can immerse himself in research. Don't worry, I will definitely make Master Ferdinand happy, adoptive father"

Once I had expressed my determination, my adoptive father blew out and coughed up many times to delude my father, who was attached as an escort knight, from laughing too. Ferdinand gasped at my shoulder as he looked at this one with the faces that Hannelore and the others said were "spared".

"Rosemaine, I see your motivation. Enough, shut up."

"Dear Ferdinand, your ears are a little red..."

"Shut up."

"Yes."

When I was silenced, Richarda came to call that the transfer team was ready and contacted the border gates. Some of the side servants who came into the room looked like Otilier and Greater. I also saw Leonore and the others preparing to take turns.

"I started sending all my stuff to the civilians. Do not move to the boundary gate to receive it."

"Okay."

When his adoptive father nodded to Richarda, he went out to the balcony and put out the horseman, "We're going to the transfer formation," he said. They're moving to the transfer team in the knight's training area. Whether the meeting is already over or not, everyone at Dunkelferger is moving without confusion. I'm probably the one who doesn't know the least about this.

"Dear Ferdinand, I don't think I have enough explanations. Don't you think I'm the only one who knows what to do?

"Do it on the horseman. Come quickly."

Riding beast puts me on and flies out the balcony. Ferdinand told me succinctly in a small voice to such an extent that no one else could hear me. They figured out a way to send my luggage without the Lesser Bus so that I wouldn't spread too much untouchable to the Demon Stone.

"Using the transfer team that sends the taxable items, we are sending your luggage once to the boundary gate and transferring it from the boundary gate to the castle of Arlensbach. Ordnants have already been sent to the border gates. We should be able to contact the Arlensbach side."

"Why don't you use it when you're a dowry or son-in-law? It's very convenient."

I carried a large quantity of Ferdinand's luggage by lesser bus. When I uttered my doubts, I was taught the difference between my position and that of Ferdinand.

"Aub usually doesn't allow us to send our baggage directly to the castle because it's security trouble not knowing what is being sent from other territories. But now all you have to do is send your stuff, which is Aub, to your castle. There's nothing to be wary of.... after that, you'll need magic to move the transfer team. I can't give you permission that easily. You have the magic this time."

It seems that using a carriage is more time-consuming but less costly. This time I'm sending only what I need right away, so they say the transfer team is better. You need clothes to wear tomorrow, but you can't send your stuff in the carriage in time.

"We're just staying for a while this time. Prepare the scriptures in that workshop so that the people of Arlensbach can take part in the Lords' Conference. It will not be until approved by the Lords' Council to wield extraction as a full-scale move or aub"

They say the top priority is to build a gluthris height and negotiate with the royal family.

The knight's training ground has a large transfer formation, and we moved to the boundary gate between Aerenfest and Aerensbach with it. Though the Demon Stone is scary, I stroke my chest down to the fact that I was not otherwise afraid to touch the magic formations and shed magic.

The Boundary Gate is home to the knights of Aerensbach and Aerenfest, who are moving their luggage from the Aerenfest transfer formation to the Aerensbach transfer formation. The leatherette and grey tier are at the centre to confirm the baggage tag.

"Rosemaine, after this we will be using the metastatic formation again and again. If you need a healing pill, use it now."

Send your luggage to the castle in Arlensbach and send Justkus, Lieselators and Haltmut and other civilian officers to the castle. Take Ferdinand and the escort knights back to the border gates and travel to Hannelores and Dunkelferger and Bindebalt, who kept them waiting. And they're going to send Dunkelferger's aspirations from Bindebalt to the boundary gate between Dunkelferger and Arlensbach.

"I don't know how many round-trips you'll need to send a hundred knights"

"We said we could travel on horseback..."

That's what Hannelore said to care, but Ferdinand shook his neck sideways. Dunkelferger is located southwest of the city of Arlensbach. They're taking a day to get to Bindebalt, but they can't take any more days.

"Rosemaine, lay a transfer team over there and prepare to send everyone."

As Ferdinand tells me, I prepare for the transfer formation. By the time I was ready, I also seemed to have been in touch with Zergius in the castle of Ahrensbach and Strahl in the hall of Bindebalt.

"Nenlüssel Ahrensbach"

He made sure that Justkus, Lieselator, Greater, Haltmut, Clarissa and Lauderich were on board and magically transferred to Ferdinand and the Transition Team. They will be asked to unpack and prepare their rooms at the castle. As soon as I let everyone down and left them to Retizia, who was picking me up, I went back to the boundary gate.

"Aub Aerenfest. I'll be in touch if I have a date and time to discuss it with the royal family"

"I know it's useless to say, but don't be too impotent"

... That promise may be a little difficult.

I deviate slightly from the word of my adoptive father. I think making a Gluthris Height and negotiating with the royal family would be unscrupulous for the public. Maybe.

"What are you up to?

"Aub Aerenfest asks you to calculate the damage in this fight as soon as possible. Because it will be an important agenda at the Lords' Conference."

Ferdinand smiles and flushes without answering his adoptive father's questions, while rushing the Hannelores to move the transfer formation. After all, Ferdinand also seems to have the awareness to do something unscrupulous. Ignoring the voice of his adoptive father, "Explain", Ferdinand hurries me "quickly".

"Nenlüssel Bindebalt"

When he arrived in Bindebalt trying to escape his adoptive father's pursuit, he started Strahl and the knights of Dunkelferger were in full swing.

"Aub Ahrensbach, Dear Ferdinand. Welcome back. I've been waiting for you."

Strahl's greetings are very real. If you listen to me, it looks like the liquor and food items that were prepared for Bindebalt's summer hall were eaten up and made to drink by the knights of Dunkelferger. And they split into several squads this morning and it was a ditter tournament. The attached Arlensbach knights look like they can't hide their fatigue, but the Dunkelferger knights are energetic themselves. There are likely to be significant differences in the underlying health.

"I'm moving you to the border gate at Dunkelferger."

"Ha!"

There are at most thirty or so people who can get on the transfer formation. I began sending the Dunkelferger knights with my escort knights to the border gate in a transfer formation. In the meantime, Ferdinand says the knights will hear stories about the current situation in Bindebalt and about the old Berkeshtock. Apparently, Bindebalt's hall will be sealed off once again, and after the Lords' Conference, Geebe will be appointed.

"Thank you for waiting, Master Hannelore"

"They send it to me with a metastasis. It's almost like we haven't waited."

Hannelore calls on the remaining knights to take the transfer formation. After three round-trips, I felt sick due to metastatic sickness. I'd like to take a short break, but we're one round trip away. I held my head and exhaled slowly.

"Metastatic sickness?

"Yes, I think so"

"Then let's go together at the end. Strahl, leave five guard knights in the Bindebalt hall and return to the castle."

"Ha!"

Upon giving instructions to Strahl, Ferdinand rode with Brother Eckhardt to the transfer formation. He helps us shed magic and arrives at the boundary gate of Dunkelferger. The knights who had arrived earlier waited in beautiful alignment.

"Thank you very much to Dear Hannelore and the knights of Dunkelferger. How can I thank you?

"I'll have some hair decorations, and no more..."

"Ah," said Hannelore, who had tried to resign cautiously.

"Me, I'm still a minor, but I'd like you to specifically invite me to the Lords' Conference. I would love to see Rosemayne bring a gluthris height to Zent as an incarnation of Mestionora."

... what? What is the incarnation of Mestionora? Has something really gone wrong?

The legend of the Virgin is changing even more. I can't help but feel the signs of Haltmoot that what Hannelore talks about with a cheeky smile is so ominous.

"Um, Dear Hannelore..."

"You will be talking to Dunkelferger at this Lords' Conference about Ditter's compensation. In doing so, please ask Aub Dunkelferger to join us so we can arrange for you to be present."

"I'm afraid, Master Ferdinand. Looking forward to it, Master Rosemaine."

... what? What are they looking forward to?

As I blinked, Hannelore turned to the knights of Dunkelferger.

"Salute the incarnation of Mestionora, which brings gluthris height to Jürgenschmidt!

In keeping with Hannelore's high voice, the knights of Dunkelferger struck his right fist twice simultaneously, on his left chest.

"I'll see you at the Lords' Conference,"

... Hey, wait a minute.

Soon as it stops, the horseman flies neatly. While I was stunned, I lost sight of the knights of Dunkelferger.

"Um, Master Ferdinand. What does that mean? I'm going to be Aub Ahrensbach, right? Mestionora's incarnation is irrelevant, isn't it? Why would Master Hannelore say that, as in the matter of decision?

"Hartmoot insisted that if you were at the top of the royal family, your chances of being in danger would increase. You should go back to the castle and ask."

Reach out to me as Ferdinand says so.

"If the metastasis sickness is terrible, I don't mind riding back. From here, the city of Arlensbach is not so far away"

"Now I feel drunk about something worse than metastatic sickness. I'll be back at the castle in a minute to inquire about Haltmoot!

"Welcome back, Lady Rosemayne, Lady Ferdinand"

Returning to the castle in a transfer formation, Retizia greeted me.

"Dear Dietrinde sent me a letter. You're upset that you couldn't make it back to Arlensbach."

The letter given by the slightly bluer Lettizia reads: "What do you mean a new Aub has taken its foundations and stood!? I will be the next Zent. There are both Leonzio and Jervagio here. Remember me when I'm Zent!".

I have to go and capture him as the culprit of this commotion, but he's kind of out of power. I have no idea how far and how things are happening.

"Does Master Ferdinand know Master Jervagio as described here? I have interrupted the Lanzenave Hall several times, but I don't think anyone was there. Who the hell are you taking?

Retizia looked up at Ferdinand looking anxious and said so. I also turn my gaze to Ferdinand. Ferdinand opened his mouth with a beautiful making laugh that covered up all the negative emotions.

"... if it's just a name, I've heard of it. He must be the man raised as king of Lanzenave."
