Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 245

Chapter 245

It was a few days after I returned to the castle after discussing with Printemps.

While taking an afternoon class in Wilfried's room, Angelica, who was called by an escort knight outside the door, once left the room and soon returned to tell Richarda and Oswald something.

"Wilfried Bow Chama, is so Rozemain princess. Aubu-Ehrenfest is made to your return. Welcome you come to"

"the one!? Father and mother come back,"

the voice that bounces of Wilfried brother like Immediately after I heard, I was picked up from the history book I was reading by Richard with a scary smile.

"Study is after the welcome. I'll come, Princess." "Yes." I and Wilfried are rushed by Richarda to the room where the transfer team is located. I asked the knight who was watching to open the door and went inside. Shortly after we arrived, the transition team began to shine. The next moment I thought that a complicated magic circle had emerged, my father, adoptive father, and adoptive mother were on top of the transfer team. Immediately, Mr. Wilfried rushed to "Welcome back, father, mother". "I'm back now, Wilfried and Rosemine. Did they both play their part properly?" "Of course, my mother. I supplied magical power every day. Yeah, Rosemine?" "Welcome back, adoptive father. , Adoptive mother. Mr. Wilfried worked hard to supply magical power that he was not accustomed to every day. " " Yes. Great, both of us. I'm proud as a mother. "

The adoptive mother starts walking with a smile and a gentle smile. After this, the civilians will return in sequence, so it is better to leave the room where the transfer team was laid out early.

I gave up my place to my brother Wilfried, who wanted to report to my mother, and I approached my father, who was lightly turning his shoulders.

"Again Back and settle down Do to Ehrenfest"

"Mase Welcome back, your father"

by multiplying the voice to your father that was acting both as escort knight of the lord and his wife, your father is after watching the lightly eyes, "a healthy likely Above all, Rosemine, "softly squints and looks down at me.

"Isn't there any change?"

"Yes." When I was talking to my father, my adoptive father suddenly pokes my cheek. Maybe I'm exhausted, my complexion isn't very good, and my eyes are dead.

"What?"

I tilted my head, but my adoptive father's expression did not change. I was stabbed in my cheeks and I realized my request.

"Pu, Puhi?"

"... It's because of that."

"Yes?"

I stopped poking my cheeks, but what on earth are they required to do this time? I don't know at all. As I blinked my eyes and looked up at my adoptive father, I snapped my forehead with my index finger.

"Led!"

"Come to the Oval Office After ringing the bell of .5 there is a story by relating to the temple,"

"...... Okay"

lord and his wife stroking the forehead sore and Jin Jin and farewell, me and Wilfried brother-like I returned to the continuation of the class. The class continues until the 5 bell rings.

Five bells rang while reading the rest of the book.

"Is Rosemine talking to my father? I have a tea promise with my mother and siblings."

Wilfried seems to be really happy that his parents have returned for the first time in a long time, and at the same time the bell rings, he is a study tool. I rushed to the room where my brothers and sisters in the main building were spending.

I have an appointment with my adoptive father, so I head to the adoptive father's office in the main building by lesser bus. Recently, few people have a surprised look, perhaps because they have become accustomed to the Lesser Bus.

"Aub Ehrenfest, Rosemine-sama was here." "Pass

" When I entered the room, I saw a civilian who was organizing the documents I brought back in the office and a side servant who was preparing tea.

When I recommend a seat, my adoptive father pays for all but my father, who is an escort knight.

"To call later, Iro refrain for a while. It is only Karstedt is to remain here."

"Certainly we were"

personal attendant who waves were getting ready civilian and tea stopping the hand of work to pull is leaving I went.

When everyone is gone and the footsteps are completely inaudible, the adoptive father slowly exhales. At the same time, when there was a civilian, the figure that had a little dignity like a lord disappeared completely, and he turned his face down on the table.

"It's because of Rosemine" It seems that it is shown only to relatives, but it is unclear and it is difficult to respond and react. I have no idea what is my fault.

When I turned my eyes to my father for help, he gave up lightly, saying, "It was a lot of trouble."

"Oh, adoptive father. What is the story related to the temple?"

When I asked a question, my adoptive father, who had a grudged expression, stared at me with his dark green eyes, with only his face turned toward me.

"其方, Aye was known on the sister that on the uncle died,"

"The one, I do not know at all are saying that ...... what"

"? The say that I do not recognize"

no.

However, the adoptive father who stares at me seems to have some conviction. I will think about what I can understand from the words of my adoptive father.

"Well, I know my uncle. I'm sure he was the former temple chief, right? But I don't know my sister. Certainly, there was a person who married his adoptive mother's brother, the lord of Frobel Turk in the west. I think. are the people? "

" different. it is a second sister, it's on the top of the sister are we now talking about "

adoptive father-like waving a patter and a hand," the south side of the Ehrenfest, It ’s my sister who married Ahrensbach. ” I do not know.

Perhaps because my reaction was too slow, my adoptive father stood up and began to frustrately tap on the table with his fingertips.

"My sister said that I was contacted by the temple. Do you remember telling me that my uncle died in the winter?"

"If there is an inquiry from the surrounding area , I will inform you that the temple chief has died. So, it's one of the many inquiries I received. I wonder which one is that person ... Oh, maybe that magic tool letter !? When I write a reply, I fly as a bird. There was a very surprised letter. "

When I remembered that there was a letter of magical tools that flew as a bird at the time of the dedication ceremony, my adoptive father pointed to me with a sigh. Immediately after shining his face as if he could finally understand the story, he dropped his shoulders.

"... Yeah. He didn't know his sister. She was so loved by her uncle that she had been interacting with her since she was married. Even so, she died for almost a year. It was terrible not to be informed during the lords' meeting, and he was messed up. ” It seems that his adoptive father was so tired because his sister kept telling him that he was sarcastic.

I was relieved there.

"Well, maybe you're an older sister who was supposed to be the next lord before your adoptive father was born? You have a grudge against your adoptive father becoming a lord, and there will always be a conflict when you're at Ehrenfest. by the father who will and feared would, I think I was supposed to be marry off to another territory? "

" but ...... likely, strangely detailed na "

I ...... of that letter main, before the temple length secret of Wasn't he a loved one? I'm glad I didn't say it.

It seems that it was not a letter of pure love that quietly exchanged thoughts, but a letter of a niece who complained to her uncle.

"There was a letter from that person in the letter that the former temple chief kept carefully. It was very close to me that I had an exchange even after I got married to another territory.

" My sister looked a lot like my mother and was my uncle's favorite. "

It seems that my sister said that she was sarcastic about the death of the former temple chief, saying that she was contacted by the temple instead of her relatives. The adoptive father is a lord, and there may have been various circumstances because of the crime involved, but he was lazy about the obituary. You will have to accept one or two of the sarcasms from your close relatives.

"That's why my sister is coming to visit my uncle's grave at the end of the summer. I said I'd like to say a word to the one who informed me about my uncle's death." "Okay."

When I thought that he was a lawful person who came all the way to thank me, my adoptive father sighed and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand at all."

"If you find out that your uncle was captured because of that, that's your sister. I think you'll have a sarcastic dislike. I'm as silent as possible about the details of my uncle's capture. I'm going, but my sister has her own information network on Ehrenfest. If it's known, give up and endure it. "

" Wow !? "

" It's a relief for a limited time. My sister is persistent. . If you steam one thing and say the same thing over and over again. "It seems that he was not a lawful person, but a grudge and troublesome person.

The moment I realized that such trouble was coming to me, I felt the blood waning.

When my complexion becomes pale, on the contrary, my adoptive father becomes pale as if he had found a companion who can be a companion, and he smiles with a smile.

"Ahrensbach, my sister's wife, is a higher territory than Ehrenfest. If you 're in a bad mood, things between territories will be troublesome. Be careful." It seems.

When I dropped my shoulders and tried to stand up saying, "I'm sorry when the story is over," my adoptive father waved to sit back.

"The story is not over yet. I would like to take the opportunity of this year's star-knot ritual to repatriate Ferdinand. I would like to hear the opinion of the temple chief."

"... I intend to crush the temple. When I gave a frank opinion, my father blew out and my adoptive father held his head.

"Is not the case.其方that has served as the temple length of one year, you will know that the increase in the harvest under the direct control of land?"

"Yes"

"Now you do not have enough magic to the entire territory, blood relative of the lord It seems to be a good-sounding word for the people and the aristocrats to show that he is moving for the territory, but I nodded, "That's true."

"And it's been a year since my mother was imprisoned. No one complains about returning Ferdinand from the temple. I'm going to send it to the temple. "It's perfect as a tatemae, and it's hard to complain if you return as the chief priest. However, I glare at the adoptive father who wants to repatriate the chief priest with the face of the lord.

"That's not because I want to use Ferdinand in the castle, right? It's very difficult to take the chief priest now. Because the younger generation hasn't grown up yet," the lord's mother caught. Even so, I have never heard of the idea of ​​repatriating the chief priest. It seems that the chief priest was so busy with the work of the temple that he stopped appearing in the castle, so he hurriedly decided to repatriate him.

When I insisted that I just wanted the chief priest to work in the castle, my adoptive father was stuck in words for a moment.

"... There are certainly few adults who can move as a lord clan, so there is certainly a reason to want to fill that hole."

"Adoptive father."

"But more than that, I don't want to leave Ferdinand as it is. The adoptive father, who looked down, asked a little, "Do you know why Ferdinand is in the temple?"

From the chief priest, from the mother, from the father, and from the former chief of the temple, there is information that came in in small pieces as they were talking. But no one told me the details.

"When I put together all the information, it seems that I entered the temple to escape the harassment of my adoptive father's mother, but I don't know the details."

"It's almost certain." When the adoptive father nodded with a bitter face, he said. Supplemented me.

"Although he was a tough man for Ferdinand for a long time, her malice became dangerous to Ferdinand shortly before the death of his predecessor. Ferdinand wanted his predecessor to die, and after his death he became the lord. He was insisting that he was aiming for. "

From an early age, the chief priest, who has lived a drugged life, has been told that he should assist the lord and that he does not need to be useless, and that he can do it if he shows his weakness. I don't think I want it.

"Ferdinand is a concubine and not a child of his wife, so he can't be a lord. I know that as a mother, but the persecution is getting worse. My father died and I became a lord. become mother does not change even. in order to release the two people, I that he "told him to escape and entered the temple to Ferdinand in which only took over the position of lord, restless ambient, caused an uproar He wanted to prevent it.

The adoptive father thought that if he became the lord and the situation calmed down, his mother's intuition would calm down, but the adoptive father's mother said he strongly opposed the adoptive father's attempt to return the chief priest to the castle.

"I didn't really intend to leave Ferdinand in the temple for such a long time."

"... I understand my adoptive father's regrets, but now Ferdinand is vividly educating the younger generation in the temple and taking medicine. It has also decreased. It has improved in terms of health, so I hope you do not change the environment so much. ”Because of the repatriation, if it is used in a castle, it will become the original tree Ami. ..

When I was reluctant to return the chief priest, my father burst into laughter.

"I don't know who is the guardian in that phrase. " "Sure. Rosemine seems to be Ferdinand's guardian." The adoptive father also glanced at me, holding his mouth and laughing.

"Rosemine, as his guardian in the temple, it is better for Ferdinand to be repatriated in the aristocratic society, and if Ferdinand takes on the role of chief priest as the lord's half-brother, he will do the same. You can have a dedicated escort knight or civilian. Will the work of the temple be a little easier? "

Speaking of the priest's exclusive priesthood, it would be Eckhart and Justox. I've heard that the chief priest, unlike me, entered the temple himself, so he couldn't have his own escort knight.

"Okay. I'll talk about repatriation, but please give top priority to Ferdinand's will."

"... Ah" After the talk, I leave the room.

With the return of the lords and their companions after the lords' meeting, the civilians were busy moving around and the castle was booming.

If the lord and his wife return, I will not be able to serve you. Since the role of supplying magical power has ended, we will return to the temple. Immediately after returning, there will be a coming-of-age ceremony in spring and a baptismal ceremony in summer.

The next day, when I returned to the temple, I met the chief priest. Of course, I will talk in the chief priest's hidden room so as not to confuse other priests.

Perhaps the chief priest has plenty of room, there is a bottle of liquid with a strange color on the big desk in the hidden room, scribbles summarizing the research results are scattered, magic of hobby It seemed that the research on the ingredients was in progress.

As usual, I avoid the paperwork and sit in the chaise longue, and the chief priest sits out of the chair. Once I looked at him, the chief priest urged me.

"What is the story from the lord?"

"He wants to repatriate the chief priest." When I briefly talked about the conversation with the lord, the chief priest sighed, "Are you still sick? It's annoying." ..

"As my adoptive father said, I think there are many advantages."

"There are some drawbacks that Gilvester didn't dare to say,"

he laughed ironically, and the chief priest frowned a little and tapped his temples.

It would be a normal reaction to leave the temple with delight when it comes to returning to the aristocratic position, but the chief priest said it was "cumbersome." Feeling that the chief priest wasn't too aggressive in repatriating, I squeezed my fist.

"... What are you going to do? If you don't like to be repatriated, I'll advise your adoptive father."

"No, that's not necessary. If you can be assured that your position as chief priest will not change. It won't hurt you, it's better to stop disagreeing with the lord's decision, and, as Gilvester said, it may be better to have more limbs available .... That's why Eckhart and Justox are exposed to boring malice. " I tie my lips together and stare at the chief priest.

All that appears in the words of the chief priest is the circumstances of others. I don't care about my profits and losses and the position of Eckhart's brothers. I'm asking if the chief priest wants to repatriate.

"Rather than the surrounding loss and gain, but for you to hear whether you think what the priests length own?"

Priests length to my words, as has been caught off the imaginary, I was watching the lightly eyes. After blinking a few times, shake your head lightly.

"While trying to return to secular life, but to Mai, if at any rate will not change to be ejected in the castle?, We should select the one with a lot of advantages,"

I as is, in the "should be" no, opinion that "I want to." I want, but I don't think any more words will come back from the chief priest. If the chief priest's opinion is to "choose the one with the most advantages," respect it.

"Okay. If you want to repatriate, you want to announce it when the aristocrats are gathering at the star-knot ritual. The chief priest, who had heard that he was humming, glanced at me with the word guardian, raised his eyebrows lightly, and raised the edge of his lips ironically.

"...... or your guardian. Secularization is premature might may unexpected na"

"What is that position that What does it mean? Watakushi of guardian is a drawback to the extent blow off all the advantages that foster father recommendation has presented?"

Rage When I glared at him, the chief priest squinted his golden eyes for fun and laughed with his nose.

"That's what it means. You're going to bring in unexpected troubles one after another. Either Gilvester's assistant or your guardian is easier or harder."

I regret, but there's nothing I can deny.

Even so, was I a troubled chan at the same level as my adoptive father for the chief priest? I knew it for the first time. ...... It's a little shocking to be at the same level as a person who suddenly pokes a person's cheek and makes him say "Puhi".
