Ascendance of a Bookworm

Demon King's Leap

Using a copulated transfer formation, I arrived at the border gate. The interior of the border gate is very much the same nowhere, so we have to judge it by the symbols of the Great God painted on the magic formations. It definitely looks like the border gates of Classenburg because of the symbols of Gedurlich, the goddess of earth.

"We just need to put some magic in here, right?...... Gluthris Height!

When I give out the book of Mestionora, I travel to the wall and push it besciently against the border gates. The same thing was done at the border gates of Aerenfest, Dunkelferger and Arlensbach, so the magic supply is easy.

... Easy win, easy win. Ugh.

As I passed through the book of Mestionora and felt my magic flowing towards the border gates, the transfer formation accidentally glowed. With a magic supply, I look back unexpectedly.

... Huh? What? I'm sorry.

The only people who can use this transfer formation are those with the Gluthris Height behind the book of Mestionora or the library's basement library. More than no royalty to put in the underground library, only Ferdinand or Jervagio can transfer.

... Are you trying to interfere...?

The moment I thought so, visitors could be identified.

"You're Master Ferdinand!?

"You know exactly what I mean."

It was Ferdinand, as I expected, who emerged from the transfer formation.

"I came here by mistake...... what a cute failure Master Ferdinand can't possibly make. Based on our previous experience, we have decided that we intend to carry out the obstruction of competition decided by the Goddess and Master Airvermeen. It's a prospect for me!

Once I had decided to be bishy, Ferdinand had affirmed in his natural face, "If I knew that much, it would be quick to talk". I don't know if that's what I expected. It's impossible, but I wanted you to deny it if possible.

"What are you up to? How do you intend to interfere with me?

"What if I interfere with you? It's Jervagio I'm stopping."

Competing for the speed of dyeing the border gates is a very understandable battle in the sense of weighing the magic power of those who become Zentos. I think the start of drawing the transfer formation yourself can also gauge how much wisdom Mestionora has gained and how good she is at handling witchcraft.

"I was done with coppie, but wasn't there a considerable difference in the speed with which I drew the transfer formation? I don't know how much I am able to restore the magic I consumed in the battle, but I think Master Ferdinand, who has highly potent restorative drugs, is quite more advantageous. You decide on a Zent that dyes the foundation, so why not compete squarely?

I don't think there's any need for strange interference or leaps, I say, Ferdinand raised the edge of his lips with a sarcastic grin.

"Square? What more are you saying now, Jervagio's biggest contributor to jamming?

"... Me, have you done something? I don't remember him."

"You haven't connected your memories yet? Or are you just unconscious?

What Ferdinand explained to me while lightly tapping his temples, but what a cause for Airvermeen's decision to show the way to the foundation against the winner was me.

"I didn't think I was so unconscious, but would I have blocked and interrupted the moment when Jervagio would have given me wisdom? The book of Mestionora that Jervagio got for you interfering seems pretty incomplete. Besides, since you've already absorbed it, visiting the beginnings garden again won't increase your knowledge."

Pong and his hand were struck with remembrance of his actions, which absorbed and recovered the magic by spreading the cloak of the Dark God on his stomach, which interrupted his attempts to storm into the garden of beginnings directly.

"Is that it?... I didn't seem to be aware."

"What else? Jervagio's scripture says there's only an interrupted route to the foundation. In Master Airvermeen, we are a difficult Zent candidate with only the incomplete Book of Mestionora."

From Airvermeen's point of view, Jervagio, who suddenly interrupted in the midst of Mestionora's imparting wisdom and could no longer acquire any more knowledge, Ferdinand and I, the only Zent candidates, who are confirmed full of holes because they are separating one scripture from the other.

... As a Zent candidate who supports the dying Jürgenschmidt, you are somewhat hopeless.

"Master Ferdinand has already supplemented what he needs with coppies, but he didn't say that?

"Ah. My Bible is supposed to be full of holes, too. There are many holes in the actual business that you don't use, so I'm not throwing up lies."

"I don't care about lying or exaggerating. I'd like to know why you're hiding what you complemented with Coppell."

"... decided it would be better for later, but you don't have to know why"

He didn't tell me why he didn't say anything about Coppe, but because Ferdinand told him in his flat face that "his knowledge is also drilled," Airvermein said he decided to show the winner this time the way to the foundation.

"I have not received such an explanation."

"I was going to say something extra, so I have a minimal explanation for you"

"Terrible!

I glanced at Ferdinand with jittery eyes. It's secrecy, I'm used to being acted upon in hiding, but I don't think I'd be punished for complaining about it.

"So what are you going to let me do? I can't help you with jamming Jervagio."

Asking vigilantly, Ferdinand said, "There is no way I would ask you to do that. The success rate is too low," he said in a frightened tone. Even if it is true, it is a bit regrettable to be mentioned there about the low success rate.

"When you're done with the supply and back in the central building, make sure you put Haltmoot or Cornelius in touch before you leave during the transfer. I'm going to put you in touch with Aerenfest and have your room ready so you can rest."

"Are you resting?

"Is it time for you to rest? I don't have time to make brooches and I can't use Arlensbach's dorm, but you're still supposed to be in Aerenfest's dorm."

I have shifted my gaze to the brooch where I keep my cloak. When I tried to return it before moving to Arlensbach, I was told to "keep it until it was officially approved as Aub".

"Um, Master Ferdinand. My side of the bargain took me to Arlensbach, didn't it?

"Aren't you left with Richarda, Otilier, Brunhilde and the others in Aerenfest?"

"Richarda has returned to her adoptive father, and I think Brunhilde is busy getting ready for marriage. Moving as my side service..."

When I said there was no way I could cause trouble, Ferdinand looked disgusted, "It's not a nuisance, it's a help to Aerenfest".

"It's important to show that Aerenfest supports you. Focus your magic on the border gates and the border gates will glow flashly. It will be hard to understand because the sun is rising, but unless it is also Arlensbach, who did not attempt to place a knight at the boundary gate, there is no way that the knight will not notice the anomaly. The emergency is visible to Aub with the border gates. Probably will rush to the center. The absence of Aub Aerenfest there is not a good idea given the future"

Even the coup earlier had a clear difference between winners and losers. Whether or not we will get a say on the future Jürgenschmidt will be a huge difference.

"If you don't get backwards support in a way you can see from other territories, it's hard to accept anything other than Dunkelferger no matter how much you say you gave in advance, and it's hard to shelter Aerenfest beyond this. Unlike Dunkelferger, we can't fight on the front line more than we did against Georgine, but we should be able to do it with backwards support."

The night is already dawning. It's not the time you can't move if you want to, Ferdinand said.

"To show internally and externally that Aerenfest also supported this fight. You don't have to be shy, so rest your body tight. You'll have a hard time afterwards."

"Huh!? Dear Ferdinand, what are you going to let me do!?

"Houfretze's border gates would be helpful if they also provided magic supplies, but not impossible,"

Peeling the answer to the question, Ferdinand began to pay meticulous attention.

"Rosemaine, if I move out of here, I'll seal the transfer formation once so no one else can get in during the magic supply. You don't even have an escort knight right now. Don't be too cautious. When you get back, listen carefully to what the Haltmoots have to say and make sure you get some rest. You got it?

You disrupted the magic supply so much that it wasn't easy, yet watching Ferdinand wary and advise that Jervagio is coming reminds me how I am not wary of danger.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?

When I asked, Ferdinand, with one hand on his chin to think a little, gently pressed my shoulder with the other hand. Suddenly he pressed me on the shoulder and pulled me closer and held me.

"... Aren't you surprised? What the hell are you confirming?

"Practice is a must, if that's what you want."

"Practice? What the hell is it?

Ferdinand said in a difficult face, "Can we make it?," he muttered, activating the transfer formation.

"Wait a minute, Master Ferdinand! Not enough explanation!

"Cash Russell Air St Ede"

My words did not seem to have been heard at all, and Ferdinand moved to the central wing of the House of Lords, not the border gate of Hauffrezze, to which he had been assigned.

... that you can take a break at Aerenfest... what the hell can I make you do later?

I'm sure something absurd awaits. That's all for sure. Experience, no doubt.

While complaining in my heart about Ferdinand, who doesn't take this situation into account, I temporarily sealed off the transfer formation, as Ferdinand told me, and began the magic supply again.

Finish the magic supply to the border gates of Classenburg and move to the border gates of Hauffrezze to supply the magic. Nothing for Ferdinand. Because if it's not full of magic, Jürgenschmidt will be in trouble. I supplied magic as I told myself so.

... Ugh, it seemed a little impossible.

My head began to ache because of the healing pills and excessive use of magic. It feels like it's pierced by pain from the neck muscle to the forehead.

"You are expected to take a break. Something I regret.... I mean, we're also expected to supply magic. I'm more sorry about that."

As I speak to myself with a bump, I activate the transfer formations that I had sealed for caution. Light and darkness fill my vision. I felt sick in my shaky vision, and I sat down on the spot behaving badly and closed my eyes tightly.

"Cash Russell Air St Ede"

After a while I opened my eyes and there it was during a transition surrounded by bright white walls. Metastatic sickness overlaps with headache and the mood sucks.

"Ugh, disgusting..."

But you can't just sleep between metastases like this. I flew a letter to contact Brother Cornelius saying, "I'm back now". Then he said, "I'm in front of the door. I want you to come out quietly by holding down your mouth and riding back to the dorm" reply came.

... Hold your mouth?

I stand up slowly as I tilt my neck, and I gently open the door by holding my mouth down so that there is no voice. The moment I saw the colour of the cape of the knights of Arlensbach and thought I could see Brother Cornelius and Angelica's face, Angelica put a bassari and cloth on me and held me up.

... what is it!?

I have no idea what's going on because I wear a cloth softly from my head. But what I'm being asked to do now is not speak up. I was holding my mouth tight and felt the motion of the horseman rushing out.

"I'm sorry, Master Rosemaine. But if I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to take Lady Rosemayne to the dormitory unnoticed by the others."

The cloth was removed only after entering the Aerenfest dorm. It's not a door that connects to the central building, it's in front of the front door for those who use it when heading to the collection site. Look around at the escort knights lining up with their dazzling faces.

"Is this an instruction from Master Ferdinand? What is Master Ferdinand doing now?... Cornelius, Leonore, Matthias, Laurenz?

I didn't call Angelica's name because I decided that Ferdinand hadn't given me a big explanation, and I'm not forgetting it.

"Oh, no. That, what can I say...... Haltmoot was crying and praying to God, but I didn't think it would be any better."

"What is it, Brother Cornelius?

"... it's the power of the goddess. Master Ferdinand will be forced to hide the silver cloth he seized from Lanzenave and take him to his dorm in secret."

Ferdinand had no idea because he didn't even make such an attitude feel fine dust, but according to Brother Cornelius, I now feel the power of the goddess as dazzling and hard to look at.

"Lady Rosemayne, Lady Ferdinand has ordered me to take a break. Um, may I put this cloth on again so as not to confuse the surrounding area and bring it to Angelica?

Leonore seemed terribly sorry, but he said so slightly out of sight. Though I'm unconscious about this, it seems like I'm in a tough state right now. I don't want to confuse my surroundings, and I don't feel well, so I want to rest as soon as possible.

"I don't mind."

And I was clothed again, and went into the dormitory's chamber with it carried to Angelica. Where the silver cloth was removed, I could see my female side moving busily. Though only Clarissa, as soon as she saw me, crossed her hands in front of her chest and knelt in tears.

"Dear Rosemaine, how divine! Isn't that exactly the incarnation of the goddess? I felt in this body the moment when Master Rosemaine's magic was repainted at once, but I didn't think she was putting together so much Goddess power. Blessed hair of the Dark God adds even more luster, Blessed eyes of the Goddess of Light are overflowing with the power of the Goddess, and in its standing..."

"Clarissa, put your mouth behind you to say something that won't do you any good, and prepare your medicine so the princess can rest. Do you think you can name the princess's side by throwing out duties like that?

While Richarda scolds and flies Clarissa, she gives instructions to Otilier and Bertilde to get ready for the bedroom. As Clarissa hurried to start preparing her medication, Richarda exhaled one fu.

"You look too pale, princess. If bathing in the water was a burden, after eating, I would gently remove dirt in Vashen, though?

"It's not just a bath, it's a burden to eat..."

"Master Ferdinand told me to take a light meal before taking your medicine"

Clarissa will explain the medicine she will be taking in the face of a civilian who can do her job. It seems to be a slightly stronger medicine to recover in a short time. I could escape the hot tub, but I can't seem to escape the meal. Seeing that Brunhilde had brought in a meal, I gave up and sat in my chair.

"As soon as the knights in the dorm talked to us about backup, Mr. Zilvester gave us an order. We and the cooks have moved first by making the environment where the princess can rest a top priority. The others seem to be in the middle of a move."

Richarda helps me serve my meal while briefly explaining Aerenfest's situation. It's been a long time since I've been served by Richarda. After hearing the current state of Aerenfest, I turned my gaze to Leonore, who is holding back as an escort knight behind his chair.

"Leonore, tell me what state I was in after I moved out of the altar"

"Seven precious colored columns stood from the divine apparatus held by the statue, and the three figures who were on the altar disappeared simultaneously. The knights of Dunkelferger were silently capturing the central ones as we watched with amazement."

It seemed to me that whoever started the revolt had to be captured, regardless of our absence. Raoblut apparently confronted, fought and lost Magdalena and Aub Dunkelferger.

"We were capturing the Central Knights with the knights of Dunkelferger. Then, all of a sudden, Haltmoot began to weep that Rosemayne's magic had been repainted by the goddess."

... What's that? I don't care how you imagine it, you're a weird person.

"The other name-dedicated neighbors said they knew magic had changed, but they didn't know if it was a goddess. But I began to honor Master Rosemayne when Haltmoot was angry at me for not knowing why, and how full of divine power it was from there. It was so out of place and disgusting that for some time after the Central Knights cleaned up...... I left Haltmoot tied until Master Ferdinand came into the auditorium"

... Wow, that would be unforgiving if Leonore did.

"But Master Ferdinand has returned to the auditorium alone. And you told Master Rosemayne that Mestionora had descended and that a new Zent was to be elected. Haltmoot apparently wasn't lying. Now, Master Ferdinand will be ready as the goddess has asked."

Even if it's equally absurd, Ferdinand's words would seem to be trusted. Haltmoot just got a little pathetic.

"Leonore, what exactly is Master Ferdinand doing?

I have never heard of a goddess. Asked terribly, Leonore told me that as soon as he came back to the auditorium, Ferdinand was giving instructions for blackmail and confusion to various people one after another.

"First, I was giving Aerenfest instructions to make a place to rest and a meal. We were also given instructions. You said you were ordered not to take life from the goddess, and you placed the knights in each place so that when Jervagio returned, he would always capture them."

Then, she also gave instructions to take turns taking breaks and eating. The knights of Arlensbach have finished their food, but it seems that the knights of Dunkelferger are taking turns returning to the dormitory. They say sending meals to the knights during battle is an important part of backward support.

"Lady Rosemaine and our meals are out of Aerenfest. At the behest of Master Ferdinand, the ingredients that had been prepared for the outhouse were transported to the dormitories of Aerenfest. Lunch will be ready for the knights of Arlensbach."

Ferdinand said it was an ingredient from Arlensbach because it was brought in from the Lanzenave building. I do think you're right. They lent Aerenfest a cook.

"Later, yeah...... For what Cornelius heard, he told Prince Hildebrandt, a librarian, to return the keys to the library."

Magdalena seems reluctant to know where the Central Knights backcutters are still lurking, but what needs to be done now. The person you are ordering is Ferdinand. I know exactly how mothers feel worrying about their children.

Ferdinand apparently told him that Prince Hildebrandt had been instigated by Raobrut to get a stamp, and that the Lanzenave people were also getting a stamp by paving the way for it. Where I blued knowing my son had gone, I said, "Now that the new Zent is elected, will we need a mouthfeel to lighten the punishment at all?" She smiled.

... Prince Hildebrandt seems free to be a librarian who can come to the House of Lords right now, and I don't think we can call Master Hannelore out of Dunkelferger for just that. But the Demon King, who uses the emotions of his parents and children to completely block his escape route, scares me!

When I finished a light meal listening to Leonore, who could never say the food would go on, I took the medicine Clarissa was preparing. Brunhilde lowers the dishes and is removed from the hair decoration by Bertilde. When Richarda vachented me, Ottilier promptly let me change and told me to go into the bedroom.

"Leonore, is Master Ferdinand off now, too?

"No, Master Ferdinand was taken with Prince Anastasius to the Central Temple. Haltmut is accompanying you to find Immanuel, the temple chief."

... Central Temple? Ah, Biblical keys!?

Just as the key to the Bible given to the Temple Head of the Territory is the insurance of the next Aub, so the key to the Bible of the Central Temple leads to the foundations of Jürgenschmitt. Apparently, Ferdinand is going to crush all the means for Jervagio to become a Zent.

... Dear Ferdinand, don't magic the border gates. What are you doing!?

You're supposed to be competing in a ditter competing for the speed of magic supplying the border gates, but only one Ferdinand seems to be playing treasure stealing ditter.

"Master Ferdinand said that when you wake up, you should practice the service dance. Looks like we'll have a discussion with the royal family as well. Rest now."

... Dedicated Dance!? Discussion with royalty!? I didn't ask!?

The medicine came into effect, and I could not argue, and fell asleep.
