Ascendance of a Bookworm

“Fran, would you like to go to the workshop for three gray priests and then call me a side other than Virma?”

“What will Mine do?”

“Think about classification by looking through the catalog from the priest in the library.”

When I entered the library, Fran made a path by stacking the materials between the desks. When I sit down and put two wooden bills that I borrowed from the chief priest, I leave the library quickly.

After seeing Fran’s back, I began to read the catalog of the chief in the library where no one was left. The wooden cards written with the feeling that it is good if you know them are written in fine letters.

“Which? What the priest brought in the temple … is that much?”

The amount was so large that half of the books connected to the chain and one or more books on the bookshelf were private items for the priest.

…… Who is the priest! ?

For the time being, it was well understood that he was rich with dazzling eyes. I used to say that I entered the temple because of circumstances, but my parents seem to have money upstream. Otherwise, you can’t bring as many as five books to the temple that would require many large coins to buy one.

I think that a book with a leather cover and gold or jewels is usually not a private item but a heirloom. The priest has brought five books to the temple as private items, and thus has shown them in a chain. Just knowing that, my liking to the chief of priests goes up a lot.

“The chief is too good to show me so many books …”

I looked at the catalog, assigned a general classification number, and then thought about the classification number of the bookshelf from the ratio of the classification number, but suddenly hit the wall.

“… Where should I classify magical materials?”

Unfortunately, there is no magic item in the Japanese decimal classification. However, there are the most resources related to witchcraft among the priesthood’s personal belongings, whether it is a field that only aristocrats can handle or a field that requires research.

I try to write Japanese decimal classification on a writing board.

If you think about making magic tools, is it 5 techniques? Or is it better to treat it like the mathematics and science of 4 here? Even if taxonomies are introduced, it is difficult if common sense is different.

“For now, let’s think after looking at the material. It must be in that …”

I stared at the materials scattered on the floor and could not hold my face laughing.

Is it magic? Isn’t this the first time you see real magic? [Isn’t it just imagining what is written?

Since things other than magic are likely to be classified normally, when everyone arrives, first pile up the materials and ask them to make a scaffold. After that, the classification number of the primary section is assigned to the bookshelf, and the materials that have been read are arranged on the shelf in the primary section. I want to end that today.

Then, at a later date, bibliographic items should be slowly compiled into an inventory, and arranged in the order of precisely classified classification numbers. The second division would not be usable unless it was significantly modified.

“Wow! What is this?”

When I looked at the door with a familiar cry, Delia lifted her eyes and was angry. Delia, whose job is to keep my room clean, gets angry when messy. For Delia, the misery of the library must be unforgivable.

Behind Delia is the appearance of the other side servants and three gray priests, all of whom were found stunned by the misery of the library.

“Sorry, this. I don’t know who did it, but the guy who doesn’t know Mine-sama …”

Fran gently pressed the stomach in the words of Gill who knew my feelings towards the book.

“Fran, what’s wrong? Is my stomach hurting?”

“… a little when considering the end of the criminal”

I didn’t think I was worried about the culprit’s end so far as Fran hurt my stomach. I put my hand on my cheek and tilted my head, “I was in trouble.”

“If the stomach of Fran hurts, is it better to stop the blood festival? I thought it would be a good opportunity to show off to the enemy and raise the morale of allies, but to show the dignity of the Lord.”

19459002]
 

“Cho, Mine! Because you don’t have the morale of your allies! Freeze in fear!”

¡Grey priests began to serve my words and dragged their faces back and forth. Only Franc came to my eyes and began to beg with my hands.

“Please stop. Mine already has enough intimidation.”

“So?”

フ ラ ン Fran says so seriously that he decided to cancel the blood festival. There is no problem because cleaning up the library is more enjoyable than the blood festival.

“The blood festival will be canceled for the time being, and I’ll clean it up today. First, I’ll explain the procedure. Be careful not to step on the materials, and divide them into paper materials and wooden bill materials. Please put them on this desk, and first put away the materials to make a way to the bookshelves. ”

“Yes”

Talking about the answer, I explain the work after that.

“As the materials stacked are classified by francs and me, line up the materials on the shelf with the number I mentioned. The top of the left bookshelf is 0, the second to the first, the bottom Please keep the steps open, the right bookshelf is 2 from the top, and the bottom is 3. The rest of the books will be cleaned up last.The order of the materials on the shelf doesn’t matter. Be careful not to make a mistake, let ’s get started. ”

I gathered materials scattered on the floor, but only Fran sits down next to me. Fran, who was assigned a different job from the others, blinked his eyes as if confused.

“Mine, what is classification?”

“This! Mine decimal classification table. Look at this and decide what number the document is. If you get lost, answer me.”

I handed a letter board to Franc and explained the classification method.

The paper and wooden bills picked up and stacked in the meantime are stacked on the desk. Fran and I go through the materials that arrive at hand and sort them by the classification number of the primary division.

“Rosina, if you have a way to the bookshelf, put it in one shelf”

“I’m smart, Mine”

As expected, since it is a temple document, the proportion of one philosophy is large. There are relatively 2 history and 3 social sciences. Particularly noteworthy are statistical materials that show the amount of harvest and offering in each rural area. However, there are no old ones at all.

And there is no material corresponding to 8 languages, and there is no 9 literature.

“Delia, paper is stuck in the scroll! Be careful”

“Don’t come in when I’m winding it!”

Delia yelled at the embarrassment that was pointed out, removing the paper and rolling the scroll. Rosina picks up the paper scattered around Delia and laughs around.

Scrolls are clearly located where they need to be placed, so we don’t need to classify them. As soon as I left the scroll, the floor began to look wide.

“Gill, give this document to a priest near 2”

“Wow!”

The only material that is scattered is not in book form. Moreover, the size of the documents is not uniform, so it is disjoint.

I want a lot of boxes and files to organize documents. When I saw a gray priest fighting a parchment that was about to fall down, I thought so. I don’t even find a bookend.

“Are you going to ask Johan?”

“Mine-sama?”

“No, nothing. Rosina, give this wooden bill to that gray priest. Tell me to hold down the parchment.”

“I’m smart”

Although it seemed that the whole library was messed up, the shelves with precious books that could not be opened without the keys of the temple head and the chief priest were not open and connected to the chain There were no signs that the book was scratched or treated roughly. It’s really harassment that just cluttered the material.

The two bookshelves were empty and messy over a wide area, so it seemed that there were a lot of materials. However, if you clear the scrolls and stack the materials together, the amount is surprisingly small. There were not many papers and wooden cards that I and Fran had to classify.

“…… Is this the end?”

I wondered that there was no paper or wooden cards on the desk, and I leaned my head.

“Yes. I cleared up unexpectedly quickly. This classification can be cleared quickly.”

“Now I’ve only roughly divided it into the first division. From now on, we will further subdivide it so that it is easy to find materials. We will need a classification number that matches the actual situation here. It ’s hard to shake, but it ’s worth it. ”

franc laughed and stood up with peace of mind, so I stood up and looked around. All the material that was really scattered on the floor is in the shelf.

However, there is nothing on the shelf that was intended to contain the Priest’s materials. Even after the cleanup was over, I didn’t find any magic-related material in the Priest’s catalog.

“How about you, Maine?”

When I came back to the voice of Fran, I was waiting for my words alongside the side servant and the gray priest. You must be told that you have finished your work and be disbanded.

“With the help of everyone, the library was cleared up. Thank you. I was saved”

franc tells the priest to return the library key, so I will go to the priest’s room together. I want to hear about magical materials.

“I’ll have to report today’s results and return this catalogue? And I could have asked you”

“What do you want to ask?”

“I couldn’t find the material in this catalogue. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was stored somewhere else, but would it be a problem if it was lost?” ]

Francs turned pale. If only magic-related materials were taken away by someone, I would be the most suspected person after cleaning the library. There was no damage to the shelves of the valuable books or the books connected with the chain, so I wouldn’t think I was doing anything wrong, but it is better to check.

“I don’t want to see your face many times a day …”

As soon as he entered the room with a reason to return the catalogue, the chief priest exhaled a tired sigh. I express my appreciation for the catalog with a smile, arguing in my heart that I don’t want to see the face of the chief priest.

“The Priest, it was a great help to lend me an inventory”

“Did the library clear up?”

The Priest said, it was faster than expected. No wonder. There is no way you can leave precious materials as they are.

“Classification in the first division is over. The second and third divisions will be continued. By the way, these materials were not found. If so, I thought it would be a problem if it was lost or stolen, and I went to report. “

“It’s no problem because it’s in my room …. But Mine. Why did you know that there wasn’t a catalog of materials out of that one?”

“Because I was dressed to give a classification number, but none”

Not only that, it’s a real magic-related document that I have never seen in the Reino period. Anyone notices if there is nothing even though I waited to read it.

Also, the chief priest says that it is just that, but for me who has a memory of the Reino period, I didn’t feel it was too much.

“What is a classification number?”

“Mine decimal taxonomy. Used to organize books.”

While answering that, I took out the writing board. There is still a taxonomy that I wrote to show it to Franc.

“I don’t have any knowledge about magic, so I was wondering whether it would be classified into 4 natural sciences or 5 technologies, and I decided to decide after looking at the contents of the materials.

“Well … This is pretty interesting, but did you think?”

The priest squints and looks at me suspiciously. The suspicion is correct. I can’t make such a wonderful thing.

“No, based on Melville Dewey’s Dewey Decimal Classification, I messed with the Japanese Decimal Classification that I messed with, so it’s the Mine Decimal Classification”

“Melville Dewey? Who are you? I’ve never heard of it.”

“I don’t know directly because I’m dead. From that, which priest does the magic categorize?”

Talking to the chief priest about magic classification numbers, showing the writing board. The chief priest seems to be thinking seriously, and with a small whispers such as “The basic magic part …” or “No, but when it comes to magical tools …”, he turns his eyes lightly.

When I was thrilled and waiting for the answer, the chief priest who seemed to have returned to me coughed with Cohon and shook his head.

“I can only say that it depends on the material, you don’t have to worry”

“… Why is it? You can’t organize it without assigning a classification number?”

In front of me leaning down, the head of the priest loosely looked around and placed a magic tool to prevent eavesdropping and wiretapping. I hold it and wait for the priest’s words.

“Magic is only handled by aristocrats. I don’t intend to put materials on sorcery in the library because I shouldn’t let the blue priests who have not graduated from the aristocracy to see them.”

I see, the materials in the hidden rooms must be magical. At the same time, I was wondering. According to the current priesthood, the blue priest is not a nobleman.

“Only aristocrats handle … blue priests are aristocrats?”

“Accurately, it draws the blood of the nobility and has magical power. If you do not graduate from the aristocracy, you will not be recognized as a noble in aristocratic society.
 

“That? But the blue priests and shrine maidens have returned to aristocracy …”

Did you go to the Aristocracy after being taken over by your parents? According to a story I heard about the Lord in front of the gray priest at the orphanage and workshop, there must have been adult priests and shrine maidens in the blue that returned to the aristocracy.

“The number of nobles was reduced and the number of nobles needed, so it was exceptionally allowed to be transferred to the aristocracy for a certain period of time. The premise that society is not recognized as an aristocrat has not changed, and even if you do not enter the aristocracy, there is power of the parents’ home, so from the ordinary people there will be no significant difference between the priest and the aristocrat, but … clearly different

From the knowledge of the Reno period and the behavior of the blue priests, if I was drawing the blood of an aristocrat, I thought I was a noble. If there is a requirement for graduation from the aristocracy, all the blue priests in the temple are not aristocrats.

“… Aristocratic society is surprisingly tough if it’s not a noble without graduating”

“Oh ?? I’m waving a huge power called magical power. How to control, how to use, how to make magical tools, no one knows the title of a nobleman. That’s it …. No matter how much I cry and beg, I can’t show you the materials, I don’t want to show them.

Finally, an oversized nail was stabbed. Apparently, the chief priest seemed to have noticed from the beginning that my biggest wish was to see the magical materials.

“Principal ~ …”

“If you say no, you can’t. Go back to your room early.”

I was engulfed with icy cold eyes, returned my magical tool, dropped my shoulders, and left the room.

…… Che, I wanted to see magical materials. The priest ’s mess.

When I returned to my room, Turi and Lutz, who seemed to have finished the workshop, waited in a small hall on the first floor.

“Mine, Welcome Home”

“Turi, Lutz. Please wait”

I also sit down on a chair in a small hall with them.

“Delia, would you like to have tea?”

“I’m smart”

After seeing Delia heading towards the kitchen, I looked at them.

“Turi, Lutz, book completed?”

“The orphans were the first to touch the needle. About half were done”

Turi sang in Lutz’s words.

“That’s right. I was surprised that everyone touched the needle for the first time …. But I’ve never touched the needle and I don’t have a sewing tool, so I can’t fix it even if the hem is loose. Is n’t it better to tell them? ”

Children working in the workshop are working on cheap used clothes for going to the forest. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the sleeves and hems to be removed. However, unlike the children in the downtown area, it cannot be fixed.

I was not good at sewing enough to be taught to people, and I thought I should buy a second-hand apparel as a rag if I was tattered without any specifications.

“… If Turi tells me, I’ll prepare the sewing tools. I’m basically not working here, and I’m not good at it …”

“Sure, it doesn’t improve even if you are taught by Mine. If you can do just the hem of the hem, it will be very different, so prepare your sewing tools.”

Turi cannot believe that cooking and sewing, which are the basics of life, are impossible. He has a worried face, like when he asked a teacher in a cooking class.

“Turi and Ella have taught me so I can make soup now. This time, it is Seuri’s sewing class.”

“You know better than you don’t know”

Turi sharply sharpens his lips after being teased by saying “teacher”. After that, I dropped a little glance.

“… the kids here can read a little ?? I was reading a lot when I was binding. It was a little shocking that a small child in an orphanage could read the letter.”

“They are playing with Carta. Turi should play together next time.”

Carta seems to have contributed greatly to memorizing letters. The children’s scriptures contain all the words of Carta and are easy for children in orphanages.

However, I don’t think it’s easy for non-tempered people. First, I want to show Benno and see the reaction.

“Lutz, are you ready to give a book to Benno?”

“Oh, I brought it because I was able to give it to the person who took care of it.”

I took out four books with a face that Lutz seems to be good at. I’m immersed in joy when I pick up the book that is properly bound in the fourth stitch.

“Wow, thank you! Let’s go to Benno together tomorrow.”

“Rice”

“… the chief must write a letter for a visit again”

Benno can be met basically even if he / she goes happily, or can be given to Marc even if he / she is not.

However, if you want to give it to the priest, you must start with a letter of request for a visit. Since it takes days before you can meet, you have to send out a letter of requesting a visit early.

“Mine, would you let Rosina write?”

Although it is a question system, the air of “I want to test if Rosina can actually do” is leaking from the face of Fran’s face and words. It is better to practice with a letter addressed to the chief who knows the situation, since writing the letter is a side-serving job. As with my time, if there is a mistake, it should be corrected and returned.

“Yes, let’s leave it to Rosina”

“I’m smart”

Rosina moved quickly, but laughed and acknowledged graciously. I must also be an apprentice.

Suddenly, I realized that Delia was looking at Rosina enviously. It seems enviable to be entrusted with a new job.

Gill is involved in the workshop, so if you make a new product, new jobs will increase, and Franc will increase or decrease the number of jobs depending on my range of activities. Rosina is not good at paperwork, but it is not impossible. Only Delia who does not move out of this room seems to be in a stepping situation.

…… I’m trying hard to learn both letters and numbers.

Gill, who has a competitor called children in an orphanage, is quicker to remember. No matter how hard you try, you can’t feel the growth, and you can see Delia ’s feelings. There are many times when I don’t grow up and feel like I’m in Lutz the same year.

… Isn’t it enough?

Gill and we have reported the results easy to understand, but easy to praise from coming complained that “praised”, because Delia do a day-to-day work in the natural face, it is difficult to far from a compliment. Serious about daily work is the most important thing, but there are few opportunities to give up again.

“Delia, this is what he gives to the priest, so put it in the office desk drawer”

“Yes, I understand”

I put another book on Delia’s hand.

“And this is for everyone. Will you put it in this small hall? I would be delighted if Deria would read and give feedback.”

“… I am the best?”

I slowly whispered to Delia blinking.

“Yeah, Gill did the job at the workshop, but this room couldn’t be maintained without Delia. I want the finished product to be seen first.”
 

“That’s right. Thanks to me!”

Delia raises her chin and chin, holds a book in her chest, and goes up the stairs quickly. The eyes of everyone watching the situation were softly narrowed.
