Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 377

The former Veronica children were disbanded, telling them to act cautiously without moving with just momentum.

"... I didn't know that I would give my name until I heard from my adoptive father, so I would like to hear various opinions. Is it something that can be exchanged for the method of magic compression?"

As an adult, you will be able to choose a faction of your own will. Is the method of magical compression so important and life-threatening that I can't wait?

"I have no intention of giving my name to anyone. I want to be the one who decides what to choose and how to live. Nobles who give their name to someone, etc. You can only count with one hand. Loyalty can be offered without giving a name. "

Brynhildr said with a proud smile like a senior aristocrat. Leonore agrees with that opinion.

"That's right. I long for not loyalty, but to give my name to my loved one, to give my name, and to swear my eternal feelings. But it's not realistic. I don't think it's possible."

...... Is there a way to offer such a name as well as loyalty? It's scary considering that they are unilaterally pressed, regardless of whether they think about each other and give each other.

"I have seen with my own eyes the joy that Eckhart gave his name and gained the trust of Mr. Ferdinand, and the difference when he entered the temple. I'm not going to give my name to anyone. "

……I see. Mr. Cornelius has also seen the person who gave his name up close.

Hartmut nodded several times in the opinion of Brother Cornelius, saying, "I can give my name if Rosemine wants it." Hartmut smiles as everyone looks away.

"But you don't want Rosemine, right?"

Unlike the chief priest, who was full of enemies and had no credibility, there were many guardians such as the lord's adoptive parents, parents of senior aristocrats, and guardians, and I had a good relationship with my aides. I don't need it at all. I also don't understand the value of being given a name. In addition, Hartmut gave up, saying that even the gray priests and shrine maidens would not be happy to be given their name because they would give them choice and respect their will as much as possible.

He somehow felt like he was very researched, and that's right. I don't want to give my name to someone.

"Will Wilfried and Charlotte be accepted if the former Veronica children give their names?"

This time, I look at Wilfried and Charlotte, who are also in a position to be dedicated. Wilfried nodded with a natural face.

"Isn't it decided to accept if you give your name as a person who stands above you? It's an honor to be so intoxicated that you are said to serve by giving your name."

Charlotte nodded to Wilfried, who said that even the old Veronica children would take it properly if he was loyal enough to give his name.

"I accept it. Rather, I'm not sure why my sister hesitates to accept it. I'm accepting Filine, and as an orphan director, you already have the lives and lives of the orphans. What? Isn't it easier to accept a name than a loyalty without a guarantee? "

As Charlotte says, it still protects everyone in the downtown area and supports the lives of everyone in the orphanage.

And I think Filine's position, which I have in special treatment, is close to her name being given, but she isn't really given her name, and Filine was originally my aide to her. And I slammed her into her family problems.

So, I think it's natural to take responsibility for taking care of yourself until you grow up and become independent, or even get married.

However, the fact that the former Veronica children, who have had different factions and had little interaction with each other, are given their names to me, "I've run away from my parents. I'll do anything, so please let me stay with you. It feels like a responsibility for everything in life.

For example, I'm like the president, and everyone in the downtown area and those in the orphanage are employees of the company. Philine takes care of her life, but she's basically her own resident employee who manages with her own salary. She has to take care of her employees so that everyone's work isn't lost and they don't suffer any disadvantages.

And the old Veronica children are like employees of another company called Ehrenfest, another company of the same family, Veronica, and the name given to them is like being offered to adopt. .. Those who offer it may be prepared, but the preparedness required to accept it is completely different.

"... It's a little difficult for me."

"I think I can trust you because of the shape, rather than just being asked to trust me because I changed the faction."

I nodded vaguely to Wilfried's words.

With the end of the first grade transfer, all grades are complete and the dinner is a little more luxurious than yesterday.

At dinner, grouping and prizes will be announced as an activity of the Grade Improvement Committee this year as well. This year is a tart recipe. For the time being, I selected the ones that are not included in the recipe collection.

"How many recipes does Rosemine have?"

"This year, this year, I will have a recipe."

I was relieved to see everyone, including the children of the former Veronica school, as excited as last year, saying that they would study in the multipurpose hall. The dark atmosphere I mentioned earlier has been wiped out a little. I can't tell if it's an attitude that hides the aristocratic feelings.

The next day, after breakfast, Hill Sur jumped in as everyone gathered in teams to study.

"Mr. Rosemine, Mr. Wilfried, I haven't been informed that the Ehrenfest students have been moved, even though there will be a promotion ceremony and a social gathering tomorrow."

"... Have you been told to contact me?"

As I tilted my head, Brother Cornelius sighed lightly.

"Although I haven't said it again, every year, the highest grade students of the senior aristocrats contacted me in Ordonants. It should have been decided that Wilfried would contact me this year because the highest rank will do it. That's right, Ignats? "

Brother Cornelius glances at Wilfried's apprentice civilian. Ignats laughed as if he was in trouble.

"I forgot to inform Wilfried. I'm sorry."

"Ignats, that one ... I'm sorry, Dr. Hirsur. It seems that this was a mistake."

Seeing Wilfried apologize made me feel very delicate. Certainly, you have to be careful about poor contact, and you will need to apologize. However, I'm a little unconvinced that Hill Sur blames me. I turn my gaze to Hirsur, who says, "Please be careful from now on."

"Isn't it the biggest problem that the dormitory supervisor isn't in the dormitory this time?

"... Oh, do you know Rosemine? The healing of Flutraine and Lungschmer is different."

Hilsur smiles at my point. The meaning is something like "That's it, this is this" or "Aside from that, I'm home". Realizing that Hilsur wouldn't be in the dorm as a dorm supervisor, I gave up.

Hilsur looks at Charlotte and mutters, "You look a lot like Florenzia," then he stands in the center of the multipurpose hall and begins explaining tomorrow's plans and dormitories for new students. The description of the dormitory is the same as last year.

"... Then, tomorrow's 3 bells will have a promotion ceremony, and then there will be a social gathering that doubles as lunch. The lecture will start the next day. Ehrenfest is in 10th place, so this year 10 Please be careful as you will be using the door and room of the guard. Since you have already studied this much, I think that preparation for the lecture is okay, but do not forget the contact information etc. What Do you have any questions? "

"Nothing in particular"

After a brief explanation, Hilsur smiled at me, "Mr. Rosemine, I have a lot of questions. Can you go out with me?" The eyes are like a beast aiming for prey, and it is completely locked on.

...... Well, the matter is probably about the costumes of the Schwartz and the research materials entrusted to him by the chief priest.

Hilsur's question was easy to guess. Rather, I can't think of anything else. There is also a deposit from the chief priest, so I nod.

"It's okay to go out with you, but please keep it as short as possible. Unlike Ferdinand, I can't talk all night long."

"If you're as weak as Rosemine, you won't be able to do research."

…… Mr. Hirsur, who can devote himself to his research, seems to be very strong and envious.

She looked to Richarda so that I could bring the costumes of the Schwartz and the "immediate handing materials" that the chief priest had entrusted to me. Richard starts to move as she knows.

By the way, there are up to 5 "materials that are not in a hurry" so that you can ask Hill Sur in various ways. This is the result of Yustokus, who knew the condition of the dormitory, asked the chief priest to use it in case of trouble.

"Then, I asked you what kind of magic team you used and how you improved it ..."

Hilsur began to ask, with his eyes shining and the time it took for the Schwartz costumes to arrive. However, since the research of the magic circle is basically left to the chief priest, there is almost no answer to me.

He even agreed that he would like to accompany him when he finally changed his costumes.

"Is Rosemine not very interested in the study of magic circles? Is it Ferdinand's beloved disciple?"

"Mr. Ferdinand is a guardian and a guardian, and although I am an educator, I am not a master of research."

There are no plans to join the ranks of such mad scientists. I want to read a book rather than study it. The materials and books that summarize the research results are welcome, but I am not particularly attracted to creating the process with my own hands.

"I'm going to be a librarian, so I'll do my best to study magical tools and magic circles as much as they are related to the operation of the library .... Oh, Mr. Hirschur. When will the costumes of the Schwartz be in the library? Should I go? "

"The library will open only after the lecture begins, but why not skip the Ordonants?"

Hilsur told me that I tried to fly Ordonants to Solange. He announces that the new outfit is complete and states that he wants to supply magical power.

From Sorange, I received the words, "The museum will be open after the lecture starts, so please come anytime after the lecture starts."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Princess"

Picking up the costumes of the Schwartz and others brought by Richarda, Hirsur stares at the magic circle. The profile of the magic circle and the chief priest, who traces with his finger and looks seriously at the material compiled by the chief priest, reminds me of the chief priest who is studying.

...... In other words, my existence is not in my eyes.

"Richarda, can I organize the bookshelves?"

"It will take a while."

I decided to wait with Richarda to organize the bookshelves until I was satisfied with Hilsur.

Prepare shelves for first graders, second graders, knight apprentices, civilian apprentices, and side service apprentices so that they can store their reference books. Probably the most frequently used reference book is this.

After that, I will store my books while assigning classification numbers. The books printed by Ehrenfest have many stories, so the numbers are quite biased, but eventually I would like to print the books in the Ehrenfest library as well.

Hill sur does not move at lunch time. Even if I call out, I only say "I'm busy now", so I leave it alone and eat lunch.

From the afternoon, some went to collect and some continued to study, but I was in trouble when Hilsur returned to me, so I decided to read a book in the multipurpose hall.

"Princess, Princess!"

She was struck by Richard on her shoulder and closed her book. When she raised her face, Hirsur looked down at me with interest.

"Mr. Rosemine, what is that book?"

"A new form of book made from Ehrenfest paper."

"May I see you?"

"If you read in this multipurpose hall, feel free to read it. We will not lend it to the laboratory because it is not allowed to take it out of the hall."

While explaining to Hilsur how to use this bookshelf, I handed over the love story of the House of Lords written by my mother.

Hilsur, who was flipping through the pages and scanning, laughs happily.

"... This is almost a true story. The ages are different, but there are many things that you can tell who the story is."

"I've heard that the people who came to the tea party were written based on the rumors they knew, so if you're a teacher at the House of Lords, Mr. Hirsur, you probably know ... Who are you talking about? "

The names of the characters have been changed and the names of the territories have become fictitious, so those who were in the House of Lords at that time might know, but I could hardly tell who they were talking about. The only thing I understood was the story of the adoptive father and adoptive mother.

"I can't tell you that because I'm anonymous. There are stories from other territories as well as Ehrenfest."

With a giggle, Hilsur put down the book and went out with the materials made by the chief priest.

...... I'm really worried when you say that. Is there a story about the chief priest? I heard that Eckhart was selling information to his mother.

After Hilsur returns, it's time to prepare for the promotion ceremony and social gathering. He distributes hair ornaments to girls with the aim of transmitting and establishing trends. This is a hair accessory that Brynhildr chose and bought from Gilberta Shokai.

"Be sure to wear this hair accessory and go to the promotion ceremony this year in order to spread the trend. We will also distribute Linshan, so don't forget to clean your hair."

There seems to be no doubt that Brynhildr looks like it, and hair ornaments of different colors are lined up in the box according to each hair color and atmosphere. I used to know the hair color of this many people. Anyway, I can't think of it as a close person.

"Well, that's cute!"

"It's wonderful to be able to prepare hair ornaments for each, Rosemine."

"It's like Brynhildr. Are you sure of Brynhildr's eyes? ... Oh, Wilfried brother, if you also use Linshan, I'll give you little by little."

Wilfried shook his head when he suggested that the boy's hair be smoother this year.

"No, I'm preparing here too, so there's no problem."

According to the adoptive father who attended the lord's meeting, Wilfried prepared for the boys.

"I'm really bad at smelling sweet from my hair, but I can't help it to spread the word."

"... Isn't it just the sweet-smelling Linshan?"

"I was told that it would be better to have a scent to make it known, because I don't like to wear such a scent like a woman."

Some boys nodded to agree with Wilfried, who said with a pitiful face.

Today is the day of the promotion ceremony and social gathering. You'll have to head to the auditorium by the bell of 3, so dress up, put on your cloak and brooch, and get out of the dormitory. If you don't have a cloak and a brooch, you won't be able to return to the dormitory, so be careful.

"Mr. Rosemine, the aides who accompany the social gathering will be Cornelius, Leonore, and Udit as escort knights, I will be the servant, and the civilian will be accompanied by Hartmut, is that okay?"

"Yeah, Brynhildr. That's fine."

It seems that Udit, an apprentice of an intermediate knight, is a little nervous because he will accompany the royal family and the lord candidate's social gathering. Unlike usual, my smile is hard.

"I will do my best to replace Angelica."

"You don't have to worry too much. Nothing happens at the social gathering."

Heading to the entrance hall, everyone is wearing black-based costumes, cloaks and brooches, and the girls are wearing different colored hair ornaments. Some had two, just as I had two.

"Everyone is the same"

Filine touched her hair ornament a little and broke her face.

In addition to the salary that he worked as an apprentice, he pays a part-time job for helping the chief priest at the temple and gives money by buying manuscripts. Still, it's hard for Philine to leave her parents and cover her life with her apprentice's salary. She has a hard time getting her hands on ornaments.

She bought this hair accessory while I was at the harvest festival, so she seems to have been able to choose Philine herself.

She said, "She chooses herself, but she only chooses from Brynhildr's ideas, but at home she rarely buys accessories ..."

Philine said so and she laughed a little lonely.

"Good morning, sister"

Charlotte also wears her black-based outfit with an Ehrenfest cloak and brooch, and two hair ornaments. Her hair was pale, so the dark flowers looked good.

"It looks so cute, Charlotte"

"Oh, my sister is more cute."

It seems that the speed at which Charlotte grows is faster than the speed at which I grow, and she feels that the difference is a little wider than last year. No, it's not my fault. The position of her line of sight is different. If you walk side by side, Charlotte must look like your sister.

"Then, let's go"

The door was opened by Wilfried's command, and Ehrenfest students left the dormitory.

The number above the door has certainly changed to 10, and the auditorium is closer than last year. It's strange that the dark green cloak that was in front of last year is behind this year.

The position of lining up in the auditorium has changed a little, and it is quite in front. As I walked around, I heard voices from the surroundings.

"Ehrenfest has risen a lot."

"Are everyone using Linshan ..."

There was also a sharp, unfavorable voice, and I exhaled softly. As my adoptive father said, the jealousy and sarcasm caused by the change in ranking seems to be worse than last year.

The promotion ceremony is almost the same as last year. There is a story about a great man and an explanation from a teacher. The content is almost unchanged, so I'm just waiting for the time to pass.

Next year, when I become a third grader and divide into a specialized course, I will have to put in a little more and listen, but since the second grader will give lectures and practical skills at the same place only at a different time zone from the first grader, I can make a mistake. No.

After the boring promotion ceremony, the next is a tense social gathering where failure is unacceptable. I have no idea how the change in ranking will affect it.

"From now on, we will move to the venue of each social gathering, but senior students should take care of new students. New students do not know anything, so follow them."

"Yes"

In response to the words of his elder brother Cornelius, who is the highest grade student, he is divided into a lower aristocrat, an intermediate aristocrat, a senior aristocrat, and an aide who accompanies the lord candidate. When you leave the auditorium, you will be divided into each venue as you did last year. We are heading to the ballroom.

The expression of Charlotte walking with his back straight is a little tense. I held Charlotte's hand.

"It's okay, Charlotte. I'm with you."

You can rely on me. Thinking that I was my sister, I looked up at Charlotte and smiled, and after Charlotte blinked several times, she suddenly relaxed her expression.

"That's right. My sister is with me. I have to be firm ..."

A strong light dwells in her indigo eyes, and Charlotte begins to walk with her face looking straight ahead. It seems that my tension was released with one word, and above all.

"From 10th place Ehrenfest, Wilfried, Rosemine and Charlotte came."

With the voice of a civilian standing in front of the door, we were passed into a room called a ballroom.

Last year, I saw a small figure sitting on the large table in front of where Anastazius was sitting.

...... Prince Anastazius' younger brother, isn't it?
