Ascendance of a Bookworm

“… N … Mine, are you listening?”

I looked up at the priest, as I was shocked and shaken. While holding down the temple, the chief overlooking me points to Tonton and the stone.

“Does it seem to have made no progress at all?”

“Oh, sorry”

After I apologized, I resumed the calculation. When the calculation is completed by moving the katsukatsu and the brush, a sigh comes out.

… Lutz, what should I do?

I think that the best way to manage the present situation of Lutz, who has run away, is that Lutz and his family can talk face-to-face, communicate their thoughts and reconcile. Lutz and Lutz’s family are completely passing each other because they aren’t communicating in a situation where they want to say what they want to say.

Is it because I am blessed with a family that I don’t think it’s okay? Is it better for Lutz to leave if it is difficult to stay with the family? That is difficult.

“Mine, hands are stopped”

“Oh, this is over”

“So then …”

“Yes”

I think that the best way to overcome the current situation is to adopt Benno. You can focus on your work and get a strong backing on your work. There is no need to worry about life. However, adoption is not possible without the permission of the parents. And this time, Benno clearly stated that he wouldn’t come out.

Talking about Lutz’s parents, Lutz and Benno, and having them talk exactly, I said, “Let’s talk with everyone” By the way, I don’t think everyone will get together.

And even if the discussion heats up so much that Benno and Lutz’s father start to runaway, they can’t keep up. No matter what I thought, I couldn’t see a future that would improve.

“… I really don’t help at all …”

“That’s right. Your opinion is correct”

“Huh?”

When I was surprised to see that the reaction had returned to my own words, the chief priest looked down at me with a scary eye and showed me the bed with my chin.

“Mine, come here”

“That ’s the priest, is your job?”

“Computer maintenance comes first. Come”

“… Yes”

I followed the priest and entered the room, complaining in my heart that the calculator was too bad.

In a room with messy things as usual, I put a chaise longue to the end and secure a place to sit.

The priest brought his chair and sat down with annoyance and scorned me. When you come here, the priest becomes a little emotional, so the eyes are two times sharper than before.

“What are you thinking about? It seems like you’re exhaling only a sigh of sighs.”

“… It has nothing to do with the chief. Excuse me. I’ll do my best.”

‘I ca n’t get a job because I ’m worried about Lutz. When I showed my reflection and tried to finish the sermon shortly, the chief priest put a cheek stick on the armrest of the chair and looked at me regretfully.

“As long as work is delayed, it is not irrelevant”

As you said.

I gently look away from the thin, thin golden eyes. I shouldn’t speak as much as possible.

¡When I was mumbling, the priest, who exhaled lightly, stood up and thought I was standing in front of me, pinched my cheeks.

“Speak clearly. If your child is worried, you won’t get the job done.”

I wasn’t sure what to do with the computer, but apparently worried. I look up at the uncle who is confused and difficult to understand.

Speaking of which, the chief was an educated person as a nobleman. I heard that the aristocrats decreased due to the political change, and the aristocracy of the temple moved a lot by marriage and adoption, but is the priest chief familiar with adoption?

“Does the Priest know how to adopt without parental permission?”

The priest was lightly surprised at my question and raised one eyebrow.

“What? Did you decide to leave that family?”

“Not me!”

Although I forgot all the honorifics without being surprised by the chief priest, the priest just lightly replied, “I wonder”. Sit back on the chair, put your elbows on the armrests and fold your fingers in front of your stomach.

“… Who are you ?? Depending on the situation, it is not without a way”

“Are you there?”

When I stood up unintentionally, the priest asked, waving lightly and showing me to sit back.

“Because I have power, there are some loopholes. I’ll let you know who you use power for.”

“Adopted by Lutz and Benno-san”

A slight glimpse of Lutz’s current improvement. I sit down and stare at the priest with hopeful eyes.

“Both are important to you … talk in detail”

Talked lightly to the chief priest, asked questions one after another, and explained the situation in great detail while answering the questions.

The priest, who seemed to ask questions until he was satisfied, closed his eyes lightly to organize the information, and then slowly opened his eyes.

“Hum. Rutz was opposed to becoming a merchant apprentice, now opposed to working outside the city, and dissatisfied with the treatment at home. Benno left home with a promising future. I want to adopt him, but my parents are against it, and Mine wants to manage Lutz’s living environment with the best hope, the best with the family, and the fastest with the adoption of Benno. Are there any problems so far? ”

“No”

¡The priest may actually have good memory so that he can remember and gather information without taking notes. The priest continues further if I am impressed with something strange.

“Isn’t my father saying that if you go to work about Lutz you left home, you can leave it?”

“… Maybe I’ve only heard about Turi, but I’m not sure.”

Yes, what I felt most painful in explaining to the Priest this time was that I didn’t understand Lutz’s parents. I talked to Lutz and heard Benno’s opinion. However, I have never heard of Lutz’s parents from Lutz, Ralph, or Turi.

“… Slightly weak in the situation, but if it was treated as a child abandoned by the parent and protected by the orphanage, the orphanage director offered to take over the orphan by signing on behalf of the parent Adoption with Benno is possible “

“Yeah? Isn’t I the director of the orphanage? I’ll turn Lutz into an orphanage …”

Great, me! I’m glad I was the director of the orphanage!

When the heart rises and rises, the chief shakes his hand to sit down again.

“Wait. Mine, you listen to the end of the story. Isn’t it because of the many mistakes you made, whether you’ve met early or not?”

“……”

Refrained from being extremely calm, I sat back without the sound of a mug. What is it? I feel like the Priest is steadily grabbing my character.

“Although you have a position as director of an orphanage, you are a minor. Your signature alone is not enough to adopt you.”

“… So what do you do if someone really wants to take an orphan?”

Even though I’m the director of an orphanage, even a sign is useless …

Although I dropped my shoulders, I also calmly judged at one corner of my head that a child of an age who could not do anything without a guardian could not be held responsible.

“Because you can’t do it, I need my boss’s signature”

“Principal, please. Sign the adoption of Lutz”

When I asked the priest, the priest slowly exhaled.

“It doesn’t mean you don’t sign, but all of your claims are from the perspective of Lutz, a child. You can’t judge that you’ve been abandoned by your parents. I want to hear from his parents to protect them in an orphanage as a child abandoned by their parents. “

“What? How is that?”

Even if it is said that I want to listen easily, I do not know what to do. The chief priest saw me as I saw mysterious things.

“What is it? If you want to hear the story, you should summon the opponent? What are you talking about?”

“… I witnessed the power of power”

If you want to hear the story, call the other party. That was the common sense of the temple. I drop my shoulders, remembering that my parents received an invitation and were called. What was I who was worried that I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to set up a meeting place?

“If I know everything before I witness, and if I understand, I will cooperate with Benno’s adoption”

“Thank you very much”

I raised my face in a radiant mood.

Unusually, the chief laughed. However, the smile is not refreshing or anything, and it is a grinning smile as if you came up with something bad.

“To that end, you have to work hard in the afternoon. The library is in check.”

“… What is it?”

When I was stunned, the priest squinted more happily.

“I heard from Franc. I think you are more effective than the reflection room.”

“No ugly?”

…… Franch idiot!

When I worked hard on my work from the crying afternoon, the priest gave me an invitation as promised. Lutz’s parents, Benno and Lutz.

“Hand over this”

I received an important wooden bill to improve the current state of Lutz as much as possible.

Lutz no longer greets me, so I return with Franc. If you go with Gil to give you an invitation from the priest, you can only see it as a child. If you have an adult franc, your Lutz parents will receive it.

“Let’s give Benno-sama to Lutz”

urged by Franc, I visited Gilberta Chamber of Commerce. Ask Marc to go to the back room and call Lutz.

“Benno-san. Compliment, compliment. Look, this!”

I ran to Benno with a bouncy gait and offered a wooden bill. Benno, who received the wooden bill with an ugly face, changed his face and dropped lightning as soon as he looked through it.

“… If it was an invitation from the chief priest !? What did you do this time?”

“Well, what happened when I talked to the priest about the Lutz runaway and adoption loopholes?”

This time I felt like I had done something useful, so I suddenly dropped my thunder and tilted my head.

“What are you doing !?”

“What? What was wrong?”

“Don’t let your nobles get involved in these problems! I don’t know what the end will be!”

Benno is furious, but I don’t know why. The chief is certainly an aristocrat, but it can be understood by speaking, and it is difficult to understand, but it only worried me.

“Because the priest wanted to do something for the computer maintenance … and I wanted to do something for Lutz”

“Mine, I’m happy, but I’m usually scared if I get an invitation like this.”

When I see the invitation that Lutz is handed over, I hang down. Benno also hangs down and holds his head.

“If you move for Lutz, an invitation from the priest … or huh”

“Because Mr. Benno said that he couldn’t get out of hand this time, I just consulted an adult who was close to me.”

When I suddenly sharpened my lips, Benno struck me with a ferocious light in my reddish brown eyes.

“Yes. If I used my full power, threatened the Lutz family, and forced adoption, it wouldn’t have happened …”

“Why are you saying scary things ?!”

“… Mine, my husband can do that if I really want to do it. My family has troubled the store and I wondered which of my parents and my husband was stronger.” You know without it? “

I was surprised by Lutz’s words. Gilberta is a casual trader, but Turi said that he was nervous just going to the north, and at first he should have clearly felt the difference from his sphere of life.

Aunt Carla wanted to return Lutz, but it would have been quite courageous, and if the Lutz family who bothered the store received no punishment, Benno would be generous I forgave it.

“When you’re going to do this for Lutz, you …”

“Even the priest is relaxed! Because he thought about the adoption method properly”

“What?”

“Seriously !?”

Benno and Lutz all turned to look here. I will meet and explain to the two what the priest was saying.

“If Lutz came to the orphanage because he was abandoned by his parents and asked for protection, and Benno decided to take over Lutz, the orphanage, he was adopted by the orphanage and Benno. Is established … “

“Is the orphanage director you?”

Benno grinned and saw me. It’s a bad idea, but my sign is meaningless.

“Because I’m a child, the priest will be signed. So, with Lutz’s parents, I’ll ask you about the circumstances and make a decision. That’s the invitation.”

Benno looks at the wooden bill he had in his hand and slowly strokes his chin with his eyebrows.

“You aren’t quite pleased by the chief priest? Ordinarily, nobles aren’t involved in us?”

“It seems to be an important calculator. Depending on whether I work or not, work efficiency will be different.”

“Speaking of which, Otto was saying that. I should be grateful to Mine this time, but I don’t want to be grateful. What is this feeling of labor …”

Huh, as if tired, Benno sighed and scratched his head.

“Let’s hand over to Lutz’s parents”

“Yes”

“It’s bad, Mine”

“Yes, I should have reported to Aunt Carla anyway. But I came to the orphanage from tomorrow because Lutz came to the orphanage insisting that she was abandoned by her parents.

‘Come on, waving to Lutz and leaving the store, I ’m on my way home with Franc.

When I was thinking of going to Lutz’s house, I saw Aunt Carla walking around the well square.

“Aunt Carla!”

When I called out, the aunt lifted her face as if it had been played and rushed to here. The rounded face is thinned and the eyes look slightly concave.

“Mine, it was late. Did you meet Lutz? How was it?”

“I was working very seriously, I was fine”

“That’s right”

Aunt Carla, who exhales relievedly, has sent her feelings of thinking about Lutz so painfully. It may be natural that you do not simply accept adoption.

“Aunt, this is an invitation from the temple chief”

I take out the wooden bill and present it to Aunt Carla. Aunt unbelievably widened her eyes, turned her complexion blue, and saw the wooden bill.

“… What is the temple?”

“Lutz asked the orphanage for protection. It was thrown away by parents.”

“Is that the one who went out on their own !?”

The aunt shouted, but if she shouted it, the invitation would not go away. The invitation from the aristocratic priestess is absolute.

“That’s why the priest wants to hear from his parents to decide if Lutz should really be protected at an orphanage … Uncle and Aunt come together. It will be three days later, and I want you to come to the temple by the third bell three days later. “

I tell the contents of the invitation to the aunt who cannot read the letter. The aunt looked back at me, holding the wooden bill as it was presented.

“… Three bells three days later?”

“Yes. If you show this wooden bill to the gatekeeper, you will be guided”

I reached the convening day three days later.

Going to the temple early, changing into blue clothing and heading to the Priest’s room. Lutz, who stayed in my side serving room, was also in apprenticeship. The reason I stayed in the side-serving room on the first floor was that the priest told me that if I showed Lutz going out as an adoption, it would make other orphans have unnecessary hope.

“Don’t get nervous”

“… It’s too grand for a family meeting”

When I and Lutz arrived at the Priest’s room, it seemed that Benno and Marc had arrived, and they were immediately guided by the Gray Priest into the Priest’s room. came.

Lutz’s parents came to the end when Benno finished a greedy and lengthy greeting to aristocrats.

Lutz’s father’s body is not so big as it was heard that he is working on architecture, but he is solid. It was the appearance of a worker who was tanned well and worked outside with sweat. The stubborn personality is well represented by the eyebrows engraved between the eyebrows and the gorgeous eyebrows, which seems to be eating a little because of the white-looking blonde hair.

Lutz’s father looked at Lutz for a moment, screamed and greeted the priest. When he gets to the recommended seat, Aunt Carla sees Benno and Marc who are already in the front seats and is surprised.

Marc, what did you really do? What did you say? Is it after threatening already?

When all were in the Priest’s room, three bells rang at high.
