Ascendance of a Bookworm

"It's too much, fool. Most of the Geebes were left behind."

"I hope you get used to praying soon. As for me, there were unexpectedly many aristocrats who could pray properly, and I was surprised by the educational achievements of Haltmoot and the others..."

"It's an honor to keep you complimented."

At the end of the engagement ceremony, I had come to visit the newly formed institute and library. There are spice trees lined up in a large greenhouse, and it feels like a botanical garden. Among the many trees I have never seen, I received a report from a civilian about the results I have studied so far. They still say sugar cultivation is tough.

"Large-scale cultivation may be difficult because without greenhouses it withers. However, with magic, we see a little bit of change every generation."

"It's funny that there's a visible change instead. Shall I pour out my magic, too?

If you just pour magic into it, you're good at it. I offered my cooperation to the civilians, but was stopped by Ferdinand.

"Wait. I've descended the goddess before. Your magic is a little special. I would like to limit the subject to giving magic also for control experiments. We're gonna need a little prep, so we'll do it later."

He began discussing with the civilians which varieties Ferdinand would pour my magic on, and where it would have no other effect.

In the meantime I was guided into Ferdinand's room in the laboratory by Justkus. Although there are still few magic tools, they are very similar to the atmosphere in the hidden room because the drugs are ready to be formulated.

... the paperwork is cleaned up beautifully because I can put in the side service.

"Nevertheless, I am entering the library for the first time today, and why is Ferdinand so enriched with the Institute's own room?

I'm surprised at the fullness of the lab, though you're definitely supposed to be having busier days than I am in preparation for Eglantine's visit, engagement ceremony and Lords' Conference. "Are you sleeping properly?" Asking Justkus, Justkus grinned bitterly.

"Compared to before you fall poisoned, you are sleeping more, and the amount of medicine is decreasing. I take it with Master Rosemaine, so I'm sure to have lunch and dinner now. It's a good trend."

Yustox said it would calm down a bit after the Lords' Conference. Really? And when I nodded, Justkus said, "Still not used to the way you call me?" and laughs small.

"Just like Richarda, only Justkus called her a princess..."

"If you call a woman a princess after a formal engagement, she will scold you."

Obviously staring at the amusing Justkus is completely ineffective.

"Speaking of which, what does Brother Eckhardt do about talking to Angelica? Your mother told you to come to a conclusion by the Lords' Conference, didn't she?

Actually, Brother Eckhardt and Angelica's engagement story surfaced again. The Lord is about to settle down in Alexandria, and he's engaged, so why don't we both get back together? My uncle was in full agreement with this.

"Brother Eckhardt and Angelica feel comfortable with their work posture. But don't check Angelica's feelings either."

When I say so, Brother Eckhardt nods, "Right," and turns back to Angelica.

"What do we do? Yet I have not forgiven the nobility of Arlensbach for falling in Master Ferdinand. Just right to prevent them from bringing in the fringe"

"The other day I also got an offer from a weak knight, and it was just fine because it was a hassle to think about what to say and if I refused, I wouldn't get a corner"

... Huh? Wait a minute. The discussion was over in no time!?

When I heard the upside of the matter, my mother seemed disappointed and the two of them decided to get engaged again. "Things like your sister," Rezelator smiles, but can I make up my mind for that reason?

"Oh, just like Master Rosemaine, isn't it? I don't have any concerns about either, but if you're a weak knight, I'd like to say no, because I won't talk to Mr. Eckhardt."

"... if you ask me so"

Somehow I can't be excused from being made with Angelica. I wanted to be with Ferdinand for once, and I didn't decide to marry him so lightly.

Softly pointing my lips, I leave Ferdinand's room.

"Dear Ferdinand, I'm going to the library."

The sun is still shallow after Entovickern, and it's not fun to look at the laboratories, mostly vacant, except for greenhouses. Just remember where Ferdinand's room is.

... the library is more empty though.

Ferdinand followed me as I walked down the lab's crossing. Yustox unlocks and enters the library.

"Wow!"

I am impressed by the fact that there is a library in front of me like the British Museum Browsing Room, which I had seen in photographs and thought of in my brain, although not a single book is in the bookshelf yet. Blessings have popped up, but there is no one here who cares about me who is more excited about the library now.

"This library is amazing. The ceilings are hemispherical, and the windows would be sloppy, wouldn't they? They make it as light intensive as possible, but at the same time, the walls are much more bookshelved so that the book doesn't get as sunny as possible."

It is the reality of Alexandria today that, although there are magic tools to turn on the lights, it is rejected as a waste of magic for everyday use in the library. For this reason, the library was designed to make the most of the use of sunlight.

"Under the ceiling, with a browser in a radial linear fashion, light hits every desk almost evenly. There is no such thing as a carrel in a library in the House of Lords that there is a huge difference in lighting performance depending on the time zone and position. And in the heart of it is magic, just like the library in the House of Lords, which is supposed to show the closing times in light."

As I spoke of the splendour of this library, I pointed to the central part of the browser that is radial.

"I plan to make that a waiting area for Opak and Kensak..."

"Wait. There's been an unfamiliar word out there, but what are you talking about?

Ferdinand blames me, and I lean my neck.

"This is the name of the magic equipment in the library dedicated to the search. That's all it is, and there are many places where walls and bookshelves are assimilated and can't be taken at people's hands, so you'd need multiple magic tools, wouldn't you?

"Haven't you given up that name yet," Brother Cornelius dropped his shoulder. I think it's a very easy name to understand the features, but Ferdinand also rejected it as "unfamiliar with the ears and not sounding beautiful". Especially since Kensaku doesn't seem to work.

"Not so many books were in Arlensbach's castle. I think magic equipment will be enough for a while."

"I'm going to make something else for searching and for security to kick out the uncomfortable like taking out books without permission or rambling them in the library."

How much do I need? thinking, said to me, feeling that Clarissa was afraid.

"Let's be less aggressive than the magic equipment we built to defend Aerenfest, Master Rosemaine"

"... I don't mind, but I'll ask Clarissa or Haltmoot or Rymund to improve it."

"I'll take care of it."

Clarissa won't be the only one, Rymund will take care of it. They're going to improve it to fit this library.

"But Master Rosemaine. I don't have any books to store where I built this big library. Couldn't it have been narrower?

That's what Lymund said as he looked around the vast library. They say Entovickern needs a lot of magic, but they can't help but think it's in vain.

"Nothing lasts longer than a book with a human-made structure, Ironquill also says. No matter how much you seem to be able to afford, sooner or later you won't be able to get the book in. I look forward to that day."

By the time the books overflow from this library, the literacy rate of the civilian population should have risen as well. Now you can build a library for the civilian population, or you can build a new library on the edge of the aristocratic district. A nobleman can easily travel by horseback, and if you set up a transfer team to transfer objects, lending books from the annex shouldn't be that difficult.

Cross the browsing room with such a story and move from the crossing hall to the laboratory to the library entrance. From there we headed to the building with the clerks' room. Haltmut stopped his leg in front of the door just up the stairs.

"This will be Mr. Rosemaine's room."

I am led to a room where nothing is in yet. Put some furniture in here so you can live in the library.

"Desks and chairs for reading books, long chairs for sleeping are a must"

"Shouldn't I give priority to preparing my bedroom over my desk and chair for reading books for when I'm too excited in the library or when I work and fall tired"

Ferdinand points me out, and the proximity snorts all together. As always, Ferdinand and his proximity are overprotective.

"I think as long as I have a bench, I'll be fine..."

Make sure you have a variety of facilities so that you can live, and ask the reseller how far to maintain them.

"Basic life is a castle, so I don't think you'll need anything else especially if you have a desk and chair to read a book for a while."

"Get it right at the beginning so you can always use it. You take care of things like that, so you're not ready to panic when you need to."

That's what Ferdinand tells me, and the sidekicks start discussing getting my room ready.

"Rosemaine, I'll make a stash room."

"... I think your room is enough?

"I need to put something important to you in this library."

I am hastened by Ferdinand, and I make a hidden room. He stacked his own hand over Ferdinand's hand pressing a red demon stone against the wall to shed magic, registering the magic for both of them.

"Please wait for the two of us to enter the hidden room!

When Brother Cornelius said so as he panicked, Ferdinand drew my hand, and I was in the den.

"Brother Cornelius will scold you again, I"

"Don't worry, I'll threaten you next time and keep you quiet."

"Wait a minute. I have no peace of mind at all. Because you don't have to threaten me!

When I desperately stopped, Ferdinand began to snort with Hun and put out the book of Mestionora to set up a transfer formation. There is only one use I can think of for a transfer formation for people to move, to be installed in a hidden room.

"Dear Ferdinand, This Transition Formation... Could it be..."

"... I'm trying to connect you to your room in a civilian city. It's like a door to your family."

Look down at the completed transfer formation. If I knelt down and touched it, the magic came through and the magic formation glowed. It's like a castle and a dorm in the House of Lords. It's a transfer that's limiting the destination.

"Is there a family home ahead of us?

"Oh. I have to get them to move from Aerenfest, and I have some rubbing plans, etc., so I don't think I can always do that, but it's your way home"

It seems that Ferdinand has created a hidden room in the library room so that its path will not disappear even if I am no longer Aub and no longer live in the castle, and he has set up a transfer formation that cannot be used unless it is the book of Mestionora.

The back of my chest got hot. I think it's good of this guy to be with me. And when I stood up, I hugged Ferdinand.

"... let's go together, shall we? Master Ferdinand is with me when I go to see my family."

"No, I'm... good because I get in the way of spending family time"

I gaze at Ferdinand trying to leave in a slightly wolfish mood, and I cage my strength in my hugged arms. I don't want to leave Ferdinand, who has a lot of backwards to do with family relations.

"I'm not interrupting."

Rosemaine, get away from me.

"I don't like it. I won't let you go until you tell me you're coming with me."

"Wouldn't your family be in trouble if I were to go, a nobleman? It just makes me care. Besides, would it be hard for you to be sweet on your family if I were here?

He turns away from his gaze, says so in a sigh of sigh, and I am stuck in words. That may indeed be the case. But I was engaged to Ferdinand.

"The nobleman's family attended the engagement ceremony, but the downtown family can't be at the engagement ceremony, and you don't know that I'm engaged. I want to introduce you to my family. Ferdinand, who I will marry.... don't you like being introduced to my family?

As he stared up, his eyes met Ferdinand, who lowered his gaze slightly. After a while of patrolling, I lay my eyes down like Ferdinand gave up his resistance to "... not dislike". My mouth looked just a little broken.
