Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 344

For the time being, my common sense is too different, so the chief priest reminded me to bring it with me whenever I wrote something.

While answering "yes", I put the novel, which was called shameless, in a locked bookcase and sealed it. I was ordered to destroy it, but maybe it's time to see the light of day.

"Fran, can you go to the kitchen and call Fugo and Ella? I want to tell you the story that was decided earlier."

"Mr. Rosemine, I would like you to have a side service when you talk to the cook."

"I'm sorry, Fran. But I think it's better to talk to him directly because it's about marriage. Of course, Fran and the servants here often don't know?"

When I said that, Fran sighed unavoidably. When it comes to work, it's okay to have Fran's service in between, but talking about life, such as marriage, can be confusing with Fran's.

"excuse me"

Ella and Fugo came in with excitement. Fran explains to the two nervous people that I'm talking directly today and takes a step back. The two escort knights were right behind me as the commoners talked directly.

"Both of you worked hard at the House of Lords. It was hard because you cook a lot of food every day. All the students were happy that it was delicious. Probably I go to the House of Lords. I think we'll be heading together for a while, but thank you .... So, the main subject is about the marriage of the two ... "

The faces of the two were tightened. You can hear a breathtaking sound. I smiled to reassure them.

"The marriage of the two is fine. I will congratulate you if you do this summer."

"thank you!"

"However, the problem is where to live. It seems that there are married subordinates in the castle, and there is a room for couples. In the castle, I apply for two people to use one room, but in the temple You can't make a couple's room inside. While you're in the temple, you'll either use another room as before, or you'll have a hard time going to it, but you can rent a room in the downtown area and live there. Even if you rent a room, keep the temple room as it is so that you can take a nap during busy times. "

I give Fran a gaze signal, ask him to bring the money he has prepared, and give it to them. Looking inside the jarring bag, Fugo shook his eyes.

"This is a business trip allowance and a wedding gift from me who worked hard at the House of Lords throughout the winter. Please add to your marriage preparation."

"... Is it so good?"

"Yeah. Then, during the prayer ceremony, you will be accompanied by Fugo as usual. So, from tomorrow to the prayer ceremony, Fugo will be off, and during the prayer ceremony, Ella will be off. That long. I don't have a day off, but get ready for marriage. If it's true, I'd like to have them rest together, but that's not the case. I'm sorry. "

"No, thank you for your consideration."

Preparing for marriage is difficult. You have to rent a room and put in your household goods. The wedding ceremony of star-knotting is held in the summer so that the bride and groom can prepare their lives by the time of winter preparation. In summer, you can sleep without a futon, you have plenty of food, and you don't need firewood as much as in winter. It takes time for the two of us to prepare for the winter.

In the case of Ella and Fugo, there are rooms in the temple and castle, so if you prepare a room by dividing the room in the downtown area from the place to sleep, you may be able to manage by just preparing the bedroom. However, it is the bride who prepares the bedding sheets, duvets and other fabric products, and must start by weaving the fabric by hand in the winter. A married woman desperately weaves cloth during the winter to prepare for her new life. That is why good sewing is a condition for beautiful women.

"Ella was working in the House of Lords, so she didn't have time to prepare the fabric? Is she okay?"

"She said her mother would weave it."

It seems that her mother, who was worried about her work straight line, was supposed to weave it during the winter. It seems that if that is not enough, it will be used and somehow managed.

...... Will she give Ella a hair accessory that matches her spring noble color? The new cooking utensils seemed to be more pleasing.

Ella spent her coming-of-age ceremony in the aristocratic district, so she was unable to attend the coming-of-age ceremony in the temple. This star-knot ritual should be the first time to wear a kimono. It's my exclusive and precious, so it might be a good idea to give a hair accessory that isn't too expensive.

"Thank you for such a setup."

"Excuse me"

After the talk is over, the two go down, and next, they will have a coming-of-age ceremony and a baptismal ceremony with Fran and Zarm. There is about a week between the coming-of-age ceremony in winter and the baptismal ceremony in spring, so it seems that you can relax in the temple during that time.

"How is the orphanage? Did Konrad get used to it?"

Monica, who has bought a liaison with Vilma and is the most frequent visitor to the orphanage in her side, goes forward and begins her report.

"According to Vilma, it has been reported that he was frightened by the footsteps of people for several days .... Even if he was raised as an aristocrat, Konrad would wear power like a blue priest. No. Rather, I came to the orphanage and seemed relieved. "

It must have been treated so badly so far. Recalling the frightened appearance of Starp, I sighed lightly.

"If Konrad feels at ease, it's better. I want to see Monica, the orphanage and the workshop once, so tell Vilma and Gil that I'm going to look around tomorrow afternoon. Please give me"

"Understood"

Monica nods and will contact you, leaving the room.

I took out my memorandum, read what I was doing in the temple, and presented Zarm with a notepad of the prayer ceremony.

"I have talked with my brother Wilfried and Charlotte about the division of time to go around the area under direct control at the prayer ceremony. Please tell the result to the chief priest. If you have any inconvenience, please contact me early. They also need a preparation period. "

"We have Rosemine this year, so we can't add francs. We'll talk about who to add to Charlotte."

"Well, please."

When Zam leaves the room, I read the letter in the box. Letters were also received from Printemps, Gilberta, and the guild chief.

The letter from the guild chief described the results of gathering stories of travel merchants traveling to other territories over issues related to downtown maintenance and struggling to beautify the city.

"It might be better to report this to the chief priest and give an answer as soon as possible. Let's have some time to help tomorrow .... Fran, from now on Printemps, Gilberta and the Commercial Guild I will write a letter to the guild chief, so please send it to the guild. "

"Mr. Rosemine, isn't it better to take a break today? I can't say that my face is good. If you're going to be active, let's train to remove the magic tools."

Fran squinted and said so. I thought I wasn't feeling sick, so Fran pointed me out and I was surprised to put my hand on my face.

What would the chief priest say if he returned to the temple but was sick and couldn't bless him at the coming-of-age ceremony? I quietly decided to accept Fran's proposal.

"Okay. I'll take a quiet break. Bring me a new book that I could print during the winter."

From the next day, I will live the temple life after a long absence. After waking up and finishing breakfast, practice dedication dance and fespiel, and go to the chief priest's room with the bell of 3.

"Mr. Rosemine, let's come to help the chief priest."

Leaving Rosina to take care of and clean up Fespiel, I head to the chief priest's room with Fran, Zarm, and Monica. The two escort knights are the same.

Angelica sticks to the door as usual, doing the job of escorting alone, and Damuel gets the job done by the chief priest.

"Principal priest, this was from the guild chief of the commercial guild. I thought it would be better to consult immediately ..."

I sent the guild chief's letter to the chief priest.

What was written there was that things like sewers were installed in territories other than Ehrenfest. Something like a sewer, inferred from the information gathered by the guild chief, was commonly used in aristocratic districts. It seems that he is using the sticky food in the bathroom. It was invented decades ago, it became popular, and dramatic before-after was done in other territories.

If you have no problems with your life, you may want to do a dramatic before and after. However, it was concluded that it might be difficult at Ehrenfest because it is a magic that only the lord can handle.

"Since it has been incorporated into the aristocratic district, it seems that only the downtown area of ​​Ehrenfest is several decades behind the rest."

"... That's right. It's better to send this project to the castle."

I would like you to find out when the castle was remodeled, whether there is a design document at that time, how much magical power is needed if the same thing is done in the downtown area, whether there is spare capacity, etc. Is itemized by the chief priest and presented with a magic stone for Ordonants.

"Send it to Elvira and Charlotte. I will do nothing more than assist you as your guardian in this matter. The person in charge is Elvira."

I received it and flew the Ordonants towards her mother and Charlotte. Charlotte and his aides will do their best to find out.

...... I also liked the work of research in the library. Hey.

Regain your mind and help up to the 4 bells. Since he was away from the temple for a while, the chief priest seems to be very difficult. The bell rang while I helped as much as I could.

After returning to my room and finishing lunch, I was waiting for the time when God's grace would go to the orphanage while writing letters to be sent to various places. Monica returns, "It looks like she's ready," so she takes Monica, Gil, and the escort knight to the orphanage.

Behind the door where Monica and Gil opened wide, there was an orphanage dining room, and I saw gray shrine maidens kneeling and waiting.

"Vilma, please report during the winter"

I hear a report from Vilma, telling everyone else to do their own thing. It seems that there was no big change until Konrad arrived. Some children had a slight cold, but they didn't seem to be seriously ill, and they seemed to be cured soon.

"I was worried about whether Konrad, who grew up as an aristocrat, could spend time in an orphanage, but I didn't have any problematic problems. On the first day, I was nervous and stiff. However, because Dirk was so enthusiastic about teaching various things, he is now smiling. "

Dirk, who had only an apprentice who had just started to crawl after the baptismal ceremony and worked in the workshop, seemed to welcome Konrad, who was about to run around with him. It seems that he is still swinging around, and it seems that Delia is having a hard time chasing them.

"I want to see him, so please call Konrad and Dirk."

"Understood"

As Vilma turned her gaze to the nearby Gray Priestess, she went to the children who were spreading her picture books in the back corner of the cafeteria.

You can see Dirk standing up with his red-brown hair bouncing, grabbing Konrad's wrist and pulling it. It is Delia who follows from behind them.

"Mr. Rosemine, are you calling?"

"Well, I came to see what Konrad was doing. How about Konrad, the orphanage? Is the rice delicious? Are you sleeping well?"

Her yellow-green eyes, much like her Philine, smiled, and after looking around her, her chestnut-colored head nodded. She seemed to have been abused at a glance, but now her face is less scared of her surroundings.

"Yes. It's delicious. And it's fun with lots of picture books and toys."

Next to Konrad is Dirk. Dirk's red-brown hair resembled Delia in the back, with dark-brown eyes close to black harboring a naughty light. It looks a lot like the old courageous expression of Delia, and it seems that it will be similar to growing up as her siblings.

"Is Dirk teaching Konrad a lot? Thank you, Dirk. I was relieved that they seemed to be good friends with each other."

After seeing Dirk and Konrad look at each other and laugh, I look at Delia, who is kneeling behind them. Like Turi, Delia was no longer a child, but a girl.

"Delia, it's going to be hard, but please take care of them together."

"Well, leave it to me."

Delia smiled and undertook me. When I leave the orphanage with peace of mind, I head to the workshop.

"Gill, call Fritz when you get to the workshop. There's talk about increasing the number of paper mills."

"Understood"

He called on Fritz and told him that the paper industry would start in some of Ehrenfest's lands and that he would like to be selected to dispatch to multiple lands at once.

"Are you going to multiple lands at once?"

"Yeah. I need a number, so instead of sitting down and making special products like Illgner over a year, I will just teach you how to make paper at a certain ratio. Illgner craftsmen also I'm supposed to get it out. "

At the time of the prayer ceremony, three gray priests will be recalled from Hasse, so if there is a request for the personnel to be recalled from Hasse, ask, and one person who has been on a business trip to Illgner will be included, and two business trip groups of four people will be formed. I will state what I want you to do.

"I will take turns to the place where I am ready to accept. The movement will be done by my knight, and personnel will be dispatched from Printemps Shokai to establish the Botanical Paper Association and the Printing Association. So you don't have to worry too much about your life. "

"How long will it be?"

"From January (Ichiki) to February (Futatsuki), if you can make the basic foreign paper, it will be over and you will be asked to go to the next workshop. Oh yeah. With Achim Add Egon, and I also want to promote the Grimm project. "

The Grimm project has stopped because no gray priests can be dispatched anywhere else while I'm sleeping. While expanding the paper industry and printing industry, I would like you to collect stories.

"I will talk to Printemps and ask them to prepare the reward money."

"In order to make a new book, we need a new story, so it would be nice to gather as many as possible."

Fritz smiled and affirmed my attempt to mix the Grimm project. Gil lightly gave up his shoulders and said, "I hope the chief priest doesn't get angry."

"Gill, don't say such an ominous thing.

The next day is the coming-of-age ceremony in winter. Preparations began early in the morning, and I dressed in the temple chief's ceremonial clothing, put on my noble winter hair ornaments, and headed to the prayer room.

"Please wait over there for the escort knight."

Angelica narrowed her blue eyes as she pointed to the wall where Eckhart was standing.

She said, "I can't say that there is no danger in the prayer room. I want to follow you into the prayer room."

Angelica complains that she is not good at keeping the escort away from her side. It's customary until then, but it can't be helped because it's a temple rule.

"I will consult with the chief priest to see if the rules can be changed. Please give up today."

"……Yes"

Angelica and Damuel, who reluctantly nodded, stand side by side with Eckhart's brother.

Guided by Fran, I stood in front of the door and after a short while, I heard the voice of the chief priest, "Temple chief, enter the room" from inside the prayer room. At the same time, the doors are opened by the gray priests. The blue priest alongside the altar was on the right, and the new adult was on the left.

I stepped into the prayer room with the scriptures given to Fran. I was greeted by the sound of many bells ringing and the buzz full of surprises, and I proceeded toward the altar.

The blue priest uses a magical tool that suppresses the loudness of his voice, so no matter how surprised he may be, he will only be quiet. Even with such a small voice, if there are many similar voices, it will reach my ears firmly.

"Oh, a little temple chief."

"The temple chief who can give a real blessing is back."

"It's really tiny"

...... Don't say tiny again and again! It's because of Jureve. It will grow soon!

While refuting in my heart, I walk with a smirk face so that I can't hear anything on the surface. The whispers of new adults are not just small.

"Wow, the aristocrats really use Gilberta's hair ornaments."

"It's so gorgeous that it's incomparable to us."

I heard such whispers of the women who saw my hair ornaments. I was urged to look around to see how popular hair ornaments were, but I desperately endured them. You only have to go up to the altar and raise your line of sight.

I step on his hem and go up the stairs, being careful not to fall. He placed the scripture on the altar and unfolded it, and the chief priest began to read the myth in a cheerful voice. While listening to that voice, I slowly look around the prayer room.

Since the baptismal ceremony is born as a person, the costume is based on white, but the costume for the coming-of-age ceremony is based on the noble color of the season. It's red or white in winter. Perhaps because white looks cold, the new adults lined up in front of them often wear red costumes.

And it turns out that most new adult women have hair ornaments on their hair. In addition to the same hair ornaments with florets that I made for Turi for the first time, some people use slightly larger or more elaborate ones.

At the end of winter, the flowers haven't bloomed yet, so I can't even pick flowers to decorate in the forest. She remembered that she said she was happy to decorate the flowers when Frida was baptized. Very few people were still using hair ornaments at that time, but it seems to be completely established while I'm sleeping.

...... Gilberta Shokai, I'm doing my best.

As I watched the passage of two years and sighed with admiration, it was my turn. Bless new adults.

"Let's pray to God. Pray to God!"

Following the blue priests, a new adult prayed. After looking around, I put magical power into the ring and give it a blessing.

"Gedurrich, the goddess of the earth, Evilive, the god of life, listen to my prayers, give blessings to the birth of a new adult, and give them my thoughts, prayers and gratitude, and give me holy blessings."

The Shinto ritual is over when you give it a blessing full of red and white light. The door is opened with the words of the chief priest, "The beginnings of those who have been blessed will be bright," and the new adults are rushing out.

...... Maybe you're coming?

As I expected, I turned my gaze to the door and saw my father and mother in tears. Both are a little old. He smiled and nodded loudly so that he could understand, "I'm fine. I'm fine."

……that?

I had a father and a mother, but I didn't see Turi and Kamil.

……It would happened to? Maybe I'm not feeling well?

I was worried that I might be ill, and I will know later.

The temple is a place where children should not enter. Aside from the babies and toddlers that parents have for a long time, children of the age who could steal their parents' eyes and enter the temple must stay at home.

I was left to see Kamil until the baptismal ceremony of Kamil.
