Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 197

“… Speaking of that, I heard from the priest that a meeting will be held from today’s three bells, but what does the meeting do? What do you know?”

Since I had never heard the word “conference” in the temple before, when I asked Fran while tilting his head, Flan lightly blinked.

“That’s the first time Rosemine is attending the meeting. The day after the baptismal ceremony, a meeting will be held, and who will be dispatched when and where the aristocratic baptismal ceremony will take place. In addition to that, we have to decide on a harvest festival destination in the fall, and a prayer ceremony in the spring. ”

I slammed Fran ’s words. It was a meeting that was removed last year because it was a minor to go to the baptismal ceremony in the aristocratic city, and because it didn’t want to give the commoner a taste to go to the harvest festival.

From this year, as a temple head, it seems to have to attend every time. It seems that last year I was just the name of a blue priest apprentice.

“Fran, I don’t know anything about the territory, but can I be taught lightly before the meeting?”

Talking about the fact that when Wilfried learns letters, he has teachers who teach geography and history, but it can’t be said without knowing anything to be sent to various parts of the territory at the harvest festival.

“It’s hard to know everything in a short amount of time, so why should Rosemine be given priority on what to ask?”

“… You decide where to go in the meeting, aren’t you?”

“To be exact, it will be a meeting to announce because the chief has already been decided”



It seems that the temple chief decided before, but it seems that the chief priest decided this year. I just need to approve the decision of the priest.

franc began to describe the name of the village, but it didn’t immediately come to mind without a map.

“Fran, at least, please give me a map”

“… I don’t have time to borrow from the priest from now, so let’s talk about the harvest festival first”

“Please, please”

Harvest Festival, as the word suggests, is a festival that celebrates the yearly harvest in rural areas and is dedicated to the gods.

The blue priest and the clerk are sure to go alone, and the clerk collects taxes. The priest seems to have a baptism ceremony, an adult ceremony and a wedding ceremony at the same time. Spring is already low on food and everyone is ready to go home in summer, so it seems unfit for the festival.

And in the village where the nobility ruled, in addition to the ritual, it seems that the Holy Grail must be collected. Unlike prayer ceremonies where you only had to go to the village and bless you, the Harvest Festival might be unexpectedly busy.

“Lose Mine, the bell of 3. Let’s head during the meeting”

The room where the meeting takes place is about the size of a classroom in a school, with a number of long tables and a large rectangular shape.

Looking around the number of blue priests, all of them are there but the table is not half full. You can see that there is a serious shortage of priests.

While everyone’s attention gathered, I walked next to a long table and sat down on a chair played by Franc. I thought it would be great to sit alone on the short side of the long table, but when I thought about it, I was the greatest temple head. I often forget the fact that I am the chief executive because the chief is more likely.

“I want to talk about the baptismal ceremony and harvest festival in autumn”

The meeting proceeded quickly because the priest presided over and stated the decisions. On the way, Egmont complained that the assignment was changed from last year, but he became quiet with the grudge of the chief priest, “Why do you think you can get the same treatment as last year?”

Apparently, the treatment of the blue priest at the temple did not change even after the temple head was relocated, so the blue priest who was initially scared would come to think about the life as usual. It seems.

“Just because Rosemine did not respond rigorously, their actions are not allowed. If you can’t follow the decisions of the temple chief and the chief priest, consider going out of the temple.” Like “

Talking to the blue priest who has no place to go to his parents’ house, if he is dissatisfied, he can say that he can go out.

“Why are temple heads and priests not going for baptisms?”

The priest gave a light shoulder to the question of a blue priest.

“There may be aristocratic duties in the castle, and there may be knights calling, because they cannot be replaced by other blue priests. They will do what they can. The degree of contribution to the temple will also determine the allocation of future work. “

“I see. I understand well.”

The paper-related work that the temple chief had thrown round was said to eventually be sprinkled by other blue priests, but that seems to be a long story.

“… That’s all. Don’t neglect your schedule and prepare yourself.”

In the end, the meeting ended with no understanding of the place where I was dispatched. Fran was working hard on the writing board, so I’ll tell you later with the map.

When I thought so, the priest stopped me from standing.

“Rose Mine explains in detail in the afternoon. Like waiting in the room”

“Yes”

Shortly after lunch, the chief prisoner brought Zarm with various materials. Materials are placed on the table and spread.

“About the harvest festival, what do you know?”

“There was only a little talk from Fran before the meeting. I know almost nothing”

The priest gave an explanation similar to that given by Fran.

“The priests and shrine maidens do the rituals. They go to the village only twice a year, so they end up on that occasion.”

And he seems to come back with groceries as a substitute. This food can be used as winter food. However, the harvest festival has to go around 15 places alone. I think that getting food will only hurt you.

“Doesn’t it be difficult to get food even if you get food?”

“What do you think the civilian will go for? It will be decided to carry with the magic tool”

There is a magic team dedicated to shipping and a magic team dedicated to receiving, and the collected tax is sent to the castle on the spot. The food received by the blue priest is also carried at the same time, and is supposed to go to a noble town later.

“I know for the first time that there is such a useful magic tool.”

“If it’s not useful, it won’t be worth it as a magic tool. Don’t say anything natural.”

Because it uses precious magical power, it seems convenient and useful for as many people as possible.

“If you use the magic tool and merchant, I think it will be better distributed and prosperous.”

“Oh yes, I think if the merchant has magic, it will already be used”

“Ugu …. Principal, I want a magic tool that can be used even without magic.”

“It is no longer a magic tool”

The priest said, and when he cut off the story about magical tools, he changed the topic, “I’m heading for the harvest festival …”.

“Where will I go? I didn’t know the name of the village at all”

In the education I received before the baptism ceremony, I was taught relatives and their territories. The place name I know is the place where the other blue priests are heading, not the place I visit this time.

“I’ll explain now. Zam, Franc and the map”

Zarm and Franc spread the map on the table. The map was colored in red and blue, as the priest and father looked into at the prayer ceremony.

“This red part is the territory where the lords will house. This blue part will be governed by the nobility. Since Rosemine will be the first harvest festival, we will allocate a part of this area that is relatively close to Ehrenfest.

As the franc states the name of the farm village, the priest points at the map and the fingertips follow the path on the first and second days.

“Although it is close, it is unexpectedly long from north to south”

“Because we collect materials together here”

“Huh?”

The tip of the priest pointed at Dollvan, the southernmost village in the area where Ton and I faced.

“In the forest outside the Dollvan, there is a magic tree Rüel. It bears fruit on the full moon night, but the night of Szeria is said to have the most magic.”

“The night of Szeria? The god of life, Evilive is resurrected and the goddess of the wind that is not close to the earth goddess. Is it the full moon at the end of autumn when Szeria is said to give the most power?” 19459002]

Listening to the myths found in the scriptures, the priest asked, “It seems to be well read.”

“The fruit of Rüel from the night of Szeria is necessary for your medicine, Jureve. It is the highest quality autumn material that can be collected in the territory of Ehrenfest. Karana “

By the way, it is said that it takes one year no matter how fast it is to collect the medicine because it has to collect magical materials in each season.

And, in my case, the magical power has solidified, and there is a possibility that it is too old to remember.

“I can’t accompany you because I have to go to the harvest festival”

“Did you have a prayer ceremony together?”

“The prayer ceremony had various dangers and things I wanted to investigate.”

This time it seems to be another action. This is the first time for the harvest festival, but is it all right? The priest lightly said to me, “I’m fine,” to me, who was clouded with anxiety.

“In addition to the escort knight, wear Eckhart and Yustox. Listen to what they say”

A name I had never heard of came out and I tilted my head.

“I know Eckhart brother, but who is Yustox?”

“The tax collector who accompanies you and the son of Richarda”

If you are a son of Richarda Granny, I feel very reliable. Perhaps it is a person who is not dangerous to me. Whether you ’re Eckhart ’s brother or Richard ’s son, only those who are close to the lord.

“With regard to gathering and harvesting festivals, they should be fine if they follow what they say. I will give you the gathering tools as the harvesting festival approaches”

“Thank you”

Now that we have just entered autumn, there is still a day until the harvest festival that begins in the middle of autumn. By that time, I was told to get used to handling the beast.

“Oh, then Benno contacted me the other day. I wanted you to send a gray priest to the orphanage.”

“Yes, I’m listening too”

¡Orphanage doors were set up and some of the things needed for life were carried, so we wanted to move the gray priests and gray priests to make a living base and resolve the shortage by the harvest festival. It has been broken.

“When moving the gray priests, they were asked to mobilize soldiers as escorts to carry large amounts of food and supplies.”

“Gilberta Chamber is moving under the direction of the lord, so soldiers can be mobilized, isn’t it?”

There are still many things to carry, such as food and workshop tools. Although it’s not too far to arrive in half a day, it seems to be targeted if you carry a lot of luggage many times. I heard that it was actually targeted.

Looking at me, the priest opens his mouth.

“Assigning the role to the chief of the East Gate …”

“I will come together with a carriage!”

The chief of the East Gate is a father. I raised my hand greatly.

I was going to go with the beast and I was not good at the carriage, but when I was determined to be patient if I could meet my father, the chief priest opened his eyes.

“A fool! If the lord’s daughter heads out of town, the escort is a Knights. There will be no turn for the soldiers in the downtown area.”

“Yeah? That’s it!”

When I dropped my shoulder to see if I couldn’t meet even though it was a great opportunity, the chief priest said, “Please listen carefully”.

“You and I will go with you as a lord’s daughter with the knight, but I will leave the soldiers on the carriage to the escorts during my stay. At least I have the opportunity to meet several times.

As I was amazed, I was greatly angry with a smile with a full smile on what I taught while saying, “You are totally”.

As soon as the talk with the priest is over, I head to the director’s office. Have Monica go to the workshop to call Lutz and Gil, and wait for the arrival.

When the two arrived, they appointed Dermuel, who squeezed, “Do you want to see it again,” to escort the hidden room, and immediately entered the hidden room.

“Lutz, Lutz ~!”

I jumped to Lutz with nose singing. Lutz doesn’t seem to keep up with the height of my tension.

“Ufufu. Well, when I send gray priests to Hasse’s orphanage, my dad comes as an escort. I can see him for the first time in a while.”

In my report of the tension that seemed to start dancing, Lutz blinked his eyes several times, then leaned a little on his eyebrows and tilted his neck.

“… That? The nobleman goes to the orphanage with a beast, so my husband told me that I wouldn’t be able to meet even if I was escorted. Uncle Gunter, who heard that, was depressed and went to work Did you hear from Turi and Otto that you would n’t be? ”

The story of the escort has already been handed down to the gate, and it seems that Dad took over with joy and courage when the story came around. Later, I knew I would move with a beast as an aristocrat, and my father is now very depressed. It seems that Turi has spilled into Lutz when he grumbles every day to the point that he does not want to go to work.

In other words, I and my father were depressed in the same way that their parents and children could not meet if they moved with a beast. What a strange connection.

I tell Lutz while laughing.

“While we are moving with cavalry, while we were in Hasse, the chief priest said that we had the opportunity to meet several times because we left the escorts to the soldiers.

“That’s serious! Well then, I’ll tell Uncle Gunter. I was really busy, so if you listen to it, you’ll be motivated to work.”

“Yes, tell me I’m looking forward to it! Oh, I’ll write a letter”

I hurriedly wrote a letter saying, “I’m looking forward to seeing you, so I’ll do my best” and handed it to Lutz.

The next day, Lutz, who gave me a letter, reported with laughing.

The dad who received the letter seems to have been motivated to see it just after reading the letter. I heard that my mother and Turi were laughing, “I can’t be energetic at all, but I’m fine with a single letter.”

The movement of the gray priest and the gray priestess was to take place immediately after the priest’s permission was granted. Two carriages that Benno sent to the back gate of the temple are lined up, and a gray priest and a shrine maiden ride three by three.

Employees of the orphanage gathered at the back gate at their new start, and I, who is also the director of the orphanage, stands in front.

“I will take care of Rosemin’s precious priests.”

Thanks to Marc, I whispered lightly. Lutz is on the gray lady carriage, and Marc is on the gray priest carriage.

Marc and Lutz turned their eyes toward the carriage, with a bitter smile. There is a figure of one soldier crawling there.

“I will also go to Hasse later. Thank you for the escort on the road”

Although I was supposed to have been asked to escort from the East Gate to Hasse, I would like to say hello to the father who came to pick up the wagons carrying the gray priests to the temple. .

“Please leave it to me”

The father who stood up and laughed and struck the chest twice with his right hand. I also returned the same action and saw off the carriage leaving the temple.
