Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 293

“Himesama, Etsuranshitsu, Iku”

“I don’t know”

Two rabbits guide me. As Schwarz and Weiss say, they try to head deep into Solange’s office. If the Ehrenfest party looked at their faces to see if it was okay as it was, Solange stopped them with a smile.

“Schwarz, Weiss. They are not doors to guide customers.”

Apparently, in the back of this office, there seems to be a door that leads directly to the business space of the library.

シ ュ Although Schwarz and Weiss are the doors we use on a daily basis, it is not the doorway to guide customers, and Solange is warned that Schwartz and Weiss are going to the door where we entered. I walked. And it opens the door.

“Going over here”

“Hime-sama is a lady”

Schwarz and Weiss are magical tools made on the premise of working, but the clothes they are dressed in are short-sleeved dresses with puff sleeves. The black rabbit Schwartz is based on white, and the white rabbit weiss is a different color based on black.

And on the one-piece dress, the vest was intricately embroidered in various colors. The glittering stone used in the button looks like a magic stone. If a button like a decoration is a magic stone, clothes alone will be quite valuable. In addition, I have never seen a magical tool that works like this in the noble house. Maybe the existence itself is precious.



“Solange, aren’t Schwartz and Weiss suddenly swallowed or stuffed off? I’m very worried,”

“Schwarz and Weiss are magic tools made to work in the library. Lord ( Aruji ) ] You can’t work outside the library unless you act with me, and I don’t know much about it, but I don’t know that many of the same worried lords are not brought out. It ’s like you ’re guarded. As long as you ’re in the library, you do n’t have to worry. ”

I’m fine, but I was out of Solange’s office with a little relief, as prompted by Schwartz and Weiss.

“Hime-sama, here”

The two cross the corridor, standing at the beginning of the line. The figure that walks with swaying head and ears is very cute. I don’t know who made it, but it looks like a cute hobby.

When I was thinking about that, I heard a sigh of excitement that I was fascinated from behind me.

“Huh, how cute is that.”

When I looked back, I found that the lyzer, who was calm for the year, lit her dark green eyes and stared at Schwarz and Weiss.

At the moment the line of sight meets, the riser tightens his expression as if he was relieved. Still, the situation of the two seems to be very worrisome, and it turns out that the eyes are looking at them.

“When the Schwarz and Weiss are complimented by the lyzer, the Lord ’s me is also happy.”

“Is that so … I’m keeping a shmir at home, and this is the first time I saw a shmir witchcraft that can be beaten up like this.

The relieved smiler slowly turned his eyes to Schwartz and Weiss. The gaze tells eloquently that Schwartz and Weiss are cute and inevitable. The enchanting lyzer is cute, but there are words that are more worrisome than that.

“… Shmir, are you?”

I have heard it somewhere. Where did you hear it? I looked at Schwarz and Weiss while searching for memories. While I can’t remember right away, Reeserator is happy to tell you about Schmir.

“The real smir is a little smaller than my knees and is a monster that is kept as a pet among the nobility. Of course, unlike the magical dolls, it doesn’t speak the language, it shouts Have you ever seen Rosemine? ”Lutelebe is a favorite food and eating very hard is very adorable.”

…?

I finally remembered that word. The memory of my first meeting with my foster father, who was not very pleasant, revived and I frowned.

“… I can’t tell you who you are, but I’ve been told that I’m similar to Schmir.”

“Well, if you tell me, my golden eyes are similar, and I know that Schmir has a glossy scarlet and recalls Rosemine’s hair color. Perhaps it ’s a compliment that Rosemine is so cute. ”

…… No, I thought it was n’t a compliment because I was the first person to meet me.

At the same time, when I first created the Lesser, I recalled that the priest told me, “Well, make me a shmir.” If she knew that Smir was a rabbit at that time, he might have made a rabbit.

Since the image of the beast has already been fixed, it is difficult to change to the Schmir type from now on, so I will continue to use the Lesser.

“Hime-sama, here, Etsuranshitsu”

As Schwarz and Weiss say, they open the thick doors of the reading room, which is a double door.

From the open entrance, I saw a wooden bookshelf arranged at equal intervals in the center, a little away from the wall. Large and thick pillars are arranged at equal intervals across the wall with a long vertical window, and a wooden board with decoration like a waist wall stretches around the inside of the reading room to the height of my shoulder. It is.

… Oh! A lot of books! There are so many! Happy! extremely happy! I am going to cry!

Much more than Ehrenfest bookshelf. There were as many shelves as a library in a town that was not so large in the Reino period, or a branch of a large public library.

My heart comes to fluff in a library of the world’s first scale. If you weren’t told to see it, you must have been fishing straight from the bookshelf.

“I’m too happy and I’m about to cry”

“Before you enter !?”

Villefried’s surprised voice rose and Brother Cornelius struck my shoulder, “Blessing is forbidden.” By the way, Richard puts in a nail again, saying, “It ’s just a tour. Do n’t read.”

Schwarz and Weiss were looking up with a brilliant look at such an exchange that took place in front of the open door.

“Hime-sama. Yes.”

“Yes, excuse me”

When I walked inside and looked around, I saw an office without a window on the right side, and I saw an office desk that would do counter work. Even if there is no window, there is a door, so I think that the door is connected to Solange’s office.

And I found that there was a large staircase on the left side, and the library continued to the second floor.

…… Library on the second floor! Oh, it ’s too crushing and my chest hurts!

Not only the first floor, but also the second floor. The number of books is likely to be expected. I want to read from one end.

Where is the easiest to read, what is bright in this library where electricity is not popular, and where is it near the bookshelf? I look around the reading room looking for a reading space.

The Aristocracy is built with the same materials as the Ehrenfest dormitory and castle, so the walls and pillars of the library are white. Many long windows seem to be attached for the purpose of improving daylighting, and when the light enters through the windows, it seems to be surprisingly bright in the library, probably because of a white building.

Pillars and walls are engraved and decorative, and they are not as simple as white.

…… Might look a little like a temple.

“Hime-sama, what are you looking for?”

“Shitsumon?”

Schwarz and Weiss spoke to me when I realized that I was in a hurry.

“Where should I read this book? Where are the books?”

“Yes. Over here”

Schwarz and Weiss walk towards the back, straight through the library from the door. Following the two, I looked at the books in the bookshelf.

The books on the bookshelf were not books wrapped in a beautiful leather cover like the one in the castle, but simple ones that were spelled with a string between thin wooden boards. It’s more like a collection of books than a book.

Because it’s just a library in the Aristocracy, I thought there were many more gorgeous and fancy books, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“Unlike imagination, it’s a pretty simple cover. Here is a book like this Lord ( Main ) Do you line up on shelves on ?]

“Now all the books on the bookshelf on the first floor are reference books written by students.”

Solange answered my question. It seems that the library purchases reference books for those with good grades and those with beautiful characters every year to help the poor nobility. There are a lot of damage and replacements, so it is impossible to attach a leather cover to everything.

I see, I look around the bookshelf. If this is the case, I wonder if there are no particular problems with the books I made.

I came to the far wall with two guides. On the side of the wall are thick square pillars that allow me to reach both ends with my hands widened, and long vertical windows of the same width.

A simple wooden desk and chair are placed between the pillars, probably for studying with the light from the window. The board, which was only visible on the waist wall when viewed from the entrance, actually played the role of a door, not a waist wall. The door is locked to prevent the door from opening.

… Wow! There is a carrell!

Referring to the space of about 1 meter square between the pillars as a self-study space like a small private room, or as a reading space, Gun and my tension rise.

Apparently, the carrell here seems to be used almost like its own room. Even though the user is not in Carrell, books are packed on the desk, and ink and wooden bills are piled up.

“Here, Carrell. Give the key to the person you want.”

“I’m going to study. Really good. Good for sunflowers.

…… Certainly, after lunch, if a warm light comes in from the window, it will make you sleepy.

I wonder if there are people taking a nap. I looked around, but there was almost no sign in the reading room. Only a few people use carrel, and no one walks in the library.

“This library has very few users”

schwarz and weiss shook their heads when they thought that there was such a large number of books and it was a waste of a library like Carrell.

“No, Hime-sama”

“There are few, now”

At this time, there are few senior students who pass the classroom exam, and many new students who pass the first day exam have not yet registered, so Solange added that there are few library users. It tells us.

“From around the middle of winter, there will be enough students going in and out of Carrell. Every year, there are most students before the final exam.”

According to Solange, senior aristocrats often pay a deposit and bring books back to their room rather than study in a narrow carrell. It seems that inferior and intermediate aristocrats who cannot pay the deposit must read in the library, and as a result, Carrell becomes a study place for inferior and intermediate aristocrats. For this reason, students who frequently go to the library between lectures will be occupied by Carel, almost like their own room.

“I’m also an intermediate aristocrat and I had a hard time studying, so I can understand their feelings well, but it’s a bit annoying to keep the book in Carrell.”

Solange said, laughing that he would like to keep it until he finished copying.

The sunny south side of the car connecting to the other side of the window is very popular. Even if there is a western side carel or window that is troubled by the West, It seems unpopular.

It seems that the order and status of this carrell are also related, and it seems that lower-class nobles in small territories are usually pushed into the door or west carrell.

… I want Carrell too.

It’s really wonderful that there is an environment where bookshelves are close and you can sit and read slowly. I want to get my own carrell when I pass everything.

While walking in front of Carrell, Schwartz and Weiss walk towards the desk where they do counter work.

It turns out that only a few users noticed the signs of the Ehrenfest line, walking around, looking up, looking at Schwartz and Weiss and staring at them.

Before the change, Schwartz and Weiss normally helped the library, so if you were a priest-like person, you would know. However, it seems that the moving magic tool itself is unusual for this surprise.

“Teacher Solange, I haven’t seen it yet, but are there a lot of magical tools like Schwarz and Weiss moving in the Aristocratic House?”

“No, it’s really rare. It’s always rare to keep the research results secret, so I’ve heard from the previous librarian that the recipe itself has been lost. So, for Schwarz and Weiss, Lord ( Aruji ) are all princesses It seems that “

Solange also called the “Hime-sama” to the librarian. Imagine the face of a male librarian called “Hime-sama” in the library, and a little laughter leaks from the Ehrenfest party.

“Solange, how are the books on the bookshelf in the library arranged? Please tell me how to classify”

“The arrangement of the book is a procedure. Everyone likes new things.”

Of course, since the books on the first floor are only reference books for lectures, new ones are preferred over old ones. Therefore, on the first day of the lecture that the library was opened, it seems that there is a contention for reference books among senior students.

In addition, it seems that it is difficult to manage solanges because it seems that some lord candidates and senior nobles carry out deposits from the library with deposits and do not come back.

“Can you return the book? How about calling out with a reminder at Ordnance?”

“If you had a senior aristocratic librarian, you could get back if you contacted me, but now I’m often heard even if I complain.”

It seems that middle aristocratic solange has little effect on senior aristocrats and lord candidates who can carry out deposits. It seems to be completely heard. This will interfere with library operations. This is not good.

“Why did the senior aristocratic librarian disappear?”

“Due to political change, I was assigned to another job. I was entrusted to my predecessor that Schwartz and Weiss would be fine, but I couldn’t move them with my magic.”

It seems that Schwarz and Weiss were responsible for lending, returning, and managing Carrell. Since the predecessor’s magical power remained for a while, the two moving animals stopped moving in about a year.

Solange seems to have been working, with two of them in the back of the office, concealing the sadness of a colleague working together.

“It begins to appear here”

“Changes here”

The two arriving at the business space climb up on the chairs as if competing.

Rather than a counter, it is a desk for work, but it seems that the procedure is performed there. Schwartz and Weiss struck the desk and taught me.

There were a number of shelves around the desk, packed with materials and tools necessary for work. Just watching them will excite you.

“Speaking of which, not only the students who use it but also other librarians are not found”

“… Yes”

Solange whispered with a clouded expression. Now that the number of people is steadily decreasing and that students can be registered and deleted, one Solange seems to be responsible for managing the library.

“If you are a librarian, there are many other jobs, what are you doing?”

“Basically after the aristocracy is over … I do other work from spring to autumn when there are almost no students”

What’s going on? My head was dull. Isn’t this my turn? I want to work in order to manage library operations smoothly. Since students cannot be librarians, this is the only book committee.

“I help, Dr. Solange …”

At the moment when I said, “I will be a library committee member to help you,” light of various colors has been poured through the stained glass in the library.

Even though stained glass was not in the window, I was surprised at the falling red and blue light, and I looked up. It just looks like the colorful light is shining on the white ceiling and walls, and nothing is wrong.

It disappeared in just a few seconds.

At the same time, several users can see the books closed and standing up.

“What is this light?”

“It’s a light that encourages you to leave the room for an afternoon lecture. Students who are so absorbed in the book that they can’t even hear the sound of the bell seem to notice that the color of the book at hand changes. There is a light notification like this before it rings. “

When I read the book, I can see that I can’t hear the sound of the surroundings, and when I was groaning deeply, I heard Richard behind me saying “I heard good things.”

“Teacher Solange, the key …”

“Yes, yes, is it practical from the afternoon? Please do your best”

Students take care of the existence of Schwarz and Weiss, give Carol the key to Solange, and quickly leave the reading room.

While watching the situation, Richard laughed and smiled at the door.

“Now, Princess. Because we were signaled to leave the room, let us go to the afternoon practice”

“I was satisfied because I entered the reading room? After all passed,”

“I’m late for afternoon practice”

In everyone’s words, I looked up on the second floor, which I could not go to this time, and sighed lightly. It’s very unfortunate that I didn’t go to the second floor and haven’t read a book, but for now I have to give up.

…… I’ll pass all the exams in a hurry, so that I can definitely go to the library all day. Alright! I `ll stick it!

I grabbed my determination in my fist and I left the reading room with everyone. As Schwarz and Weiss, who had been about to leave, left the reading room, they pulled my sleeve lightly.

“I did it”

“Hime-sama, praise”

Schwarz and Weiss line up in front of me and lightly close their eyes. I didn’t know what I was looking for and I looked up at Solange.

“Please stroke the magic stone on the forehead and pour a little bit of magic. Then these kids can work well again”

“I understand”

I pour a little more magical power while stroking the magic stone on the forehead of Schwartz and Weiss. I have to work hard until I pass all the exams.

“Schwarz, Weiss. I was guided and helped. After this, I would listen to Dr. Solange and help me.”

“I understand. Solange’s help”

“That ’s Hime-sama. A New Shirt.”

I again leaned to Vice’s request, which was too short to understand. He narrows his eyes so that Solange searches for distant memories, and hits his hand.

“When the Lord changed, Schwartz and Weiss were given new clothes. We would like to receive new clothes from Rosemine.”

“… I don’t accompany the aristocracy and I don’t have any cloth ready, so I think it’ll be next year, but are you sure?”

When it comes to tailoring two people, it seems to take time. It is not possible during the winter. In my words, Schwarz and Weiss sang.

“It takes a new hood”

“I’m doing it”

If you are waiting, you will be able to tailor cute clothes. I thought so, and was relieved.

“… Solange, do Schwarz and Weiss have gender?”

“Well, Rosemine. There is no gender in the witchcraft. It is important that the Lord has given me any clothes.”

There seems to be no gender in Schwartz and Weiss, a magical tool that imitates the appearance of Schmir. Depending on the time, it seemed to be various, such as being dressed as a girl or dressed as a boy.

…… What kind of clothes should I wear?に し て も Whatever clothes you wear, you need the armband of the book committee?

If you give armbands to Schwarz and Weiss, I want my armbands to match. When you return to Ehrenfest, ask Turi.

“So, I will finish the lecture as soon as possible and come to the library. If Schwartz and Weiss are short of magic, please contact me immediately.”

I told Solange and waved to Schwartz and Weiss and left the library.
