Ascendance of a Bookworm

When I raised my hand in order to prevent blood from falling as much as possible, I screamed for help as long as my voice, and the ring lit up almost at the same time. Blue light stretches toward the sky.

Something black came down from above with the sound of a rustle. Bonn, Bobon! And a small impact resonates at my feet. When I moved my face, there were several black arrows at my feet. It becomes as if Trombe around me lost power.

“Principal!”

I looked up at a familiar arrow. You can see lions with their wings spread down in a straight line.

…… If you have that arrow, it’s okay.

However, it was only a few seconds that I was relieved to see the priest. Trombe was adult for a while, and it immediately began to be activated by the blood spilling from my hands.

Trombe, which had stopped tightly, began to move again and extended from the stomach to the chest. New shoots that grow one after another wind further, tightening the legs.

“The priest, hurry up …”

The white lion that came down slidingly jumped down with a light movement that would not seem to be covered with metal armor. In his hand is a black arrow that has received the blessing of the god of darkness to defeat Trombe. The chief priest arrives here, piercing the trumpet and trombe with an arrow.

“Mine, what ’s this ?!”

“Miko apprentice, made me wait!”

Dermuel, who seems to have finally gained the protection of the god of darkness, started struggling to rescue me while swinging the black knife. However, whether Dermuel’s magical power is low or not, the effect is completely different from the black arrow of the chief priest.

“No protection at all !?”

“It doesn’t mean it’s not working! Trombe will be back soon! Why?”

After the priest stabs an arrow, it becomes quiet for a few seconds, but soon after gaining power, Trombe begins activities. Although the growth rate has dropped, the chief priest continues to stab the arrow in Trombe, which has never decayed.

“The Priest, Blood, My Blood … Trombe”

“Your blood is the worst!”

Talking about the cause of Trombe’s activation, the priest chief shattered. That alone reminds me of a face that opens its eyelids and lifts its eyebrows.

“What do you think you’ve taken away from the scene and put on an escort ?!” What an escort is ?! Incompetence! “

The priest asked the two knights who remained as escorts, asking them to vomit. Damuel is struggling with a black knife, but Shikikoza is now struggling to get the blessing of the God of Darkness.

ignoring orders from the boss, struck a knife against the object of escort and injured it to create the current situation, so it would definitely be incompetent if considered as an escort.

And, as the chief priest controlled Trombe with an arrow, I found out that he had quite a lot of magic. Of course, about 30% of the Knights, as well as Damell, attacked with a blessed weapon, the chief priest asked.

“No matter how restrained it is, there is no point in closing the wound. Mine, where is the wound !?”

“Here it is”

I stretch my left hand to the fullest. The chief priest who saw the wound patted lightly and whispered “Entvahunung”. The black bow turns into a light tact.

As soon as the priest whispered “roth” and shook the tact, the red light extended toward the sky. I could see other knights flying one after another, as the red light was a signal.

“It will be painful, but never cry. It doesn’t change in the sense that tears and blood contain magical power.”

The priest who advised me to follow my wound slowly with the shining tact. As soon as the hazy light coming out of the tact touched the wound, my whole body trembled.

“Hy!”

I got goose bumps all over my body with a sense of incongruity and pain as something that I wasn’t trying to get into. Physiological tears come up. He looked up to keep his tears from spilling and exhaled slowly.

わ か る You can see that the magical power within you moves toward the wound all at once, just as the wound gets hot and tries to prevent the entry of foreign objects. My magical power and the magical power that the priest chief tried to pour into each other collided, and the wound glowed a light yellow. When the light disappeared, the wound was completely closed.

“The wound is …”

“First-aid just to close the wound. It’s not a complete cure just by blocking it with magical power. Above all, it’s a suicide act, such as putting out magical power on Trombe.”

The chief whispered while exhaling as if exhausted. The wound was closed, but Trombe is more active than ever.

“Principal …”

“I broke my blessings and closed your wounds. There are no weapons that can fight Trombe. There should be relief soon …”

While saying so, the chief ran up to the sky and shouted “slow!” Toward the knights who came down here. I am impressed by the priest’s angry voice, which is basically a noble and does not show emotional feelings outside the hidden room.

“Ferdinand-sama, what exactly is a rescue signal … what is this !?”

The knights descending one after another finds the second Trombe and sees me in the center of it to keep an eye out.

“Carsted, the escort you have chosen is incompetent and this is a mess. Immediately rescue Mine. I quit blessing and can’t use it. The branch is growing to the neck. Hurry.”

“It’s a clever!”

The priest who had no weapons that could fight Trombe went away from me, and instead metal armor with black halbert rushed and swung the weapons in a breath. Dogon! Along with the explosion sound, a small piece of soil smoke and Trombe rolls up.

“Keho … Koho …”

“Kalstead, don’t hurt Mine! It’s a good bait”

¡To pay the Trombe that is tightly entangled with this, the priest chief walks towards Shikikoza and the side serving, arguing that he should wield his weapon so as not to hurt me in the center. It is very scary to see anger leaking from the back.

Perhaps, due to the difference between the nobility and the commoner, will I be angered without my head because I was covered with all the charges of Sikikoza, the aristocrat? Is it because of my blood that activated Trombe?

…… Possible.

A large number of knights gathered around me who became depressed in the future. Knights with black halbert pierce the ground and cut the roots of Trombe without resting their hands. At the same time, a knight with a black knife was gradually cutting off the stem that began to entangle with my neck.

“… The blessing has begun to work”

Dermuel shouted with a deep relief. The wound on the back of the hand was blocked and blood no longer spilled, so it seemed that Trombe could not be activated, and there was no sign of growth.

If you use a weapon with the blessing of the god of darkness, like the giant Trombe, the part that turned black will come out and decay from where you hit the weapon.

I was able to escape from the fear of being squeezed by Trombe.

“It’s hard to do it!”

“Only you have a knife. Do it carefully, Dermuel”

Apparently, after receiving the blessing, it seems that the shape of the weapon cannot be changed, and the knights carefully cut the trombone branches around me little by little with a large weapon that was created to cut down the giant trombove. To go.

“Dermuel, then apprentice maiden … did you say Mine? Why is this happening? It’s the first time that Ferdinand is so angry.”

Karsted squeezed and asked quickly while cutting a branch at my feet with a big halbert.

“That is …”

Dermuel slammed into the metal and saw Shikikoza. However, it seems that there is no willingness to prosecute, and the words are vaguely clouded.

I am thinking of my own behavior while feeling the irritation and the harshness of the social society that I can’t say about Dermuel’s unclear attitude.

…… What should I do?

Trombe, which had been growing in the throat, was cut off to the chest, and if you just talk, it’s in no problem, so it’s easy to expose everything.

However, whether it is trusted or not is another matter, and the situation will probably be something that tells things. I don’t know how much I can speak or trust. Karsted is also a nobleman. It is also possible to become a second dance in this situation.

“I want a little information. I am drowning clearly”

karsted squeezes with a frustrating voice that bites his teeth, prompting me and Darmell.

Speaking of which, the chief priest was also angry at Karsted, “I chose incompetence as an escort.” Now Karstedt, who is trying to find out the cause of the priest ’s anger, may listen to me properly for self-protection.

Karsted, will I be safe if I talk to you?

“What do you mean?”

I ask Karsted for the purpose of confirming whether Sikikoza’s behavior is normal as a nobleman. Now that the ritual has not ended, at least it should not be suddenly killed.

“If I speak honestly, but don’t like it, will the nobility grab my hair and wield it or try to squint my eyes?”

“What’s that? … No way, did you deal with a shrine maiden apprentice !?”

Karsted made a loud noise and jumped up the part that covered the face of the frog. Rageous eyes full of anger pierce Dermuel. Damuel seems to be surprised by the Karstedt sword, and desperately defends himself.

“It’s not me! Shikikoza took out the knife and threatened the apprenticeship of the shrine maiden. To help, she was told to speak up …”

“Absurd! Ferdinand’s anger is natural!”

Karsted tears off Trombe, which has become black and brittle. Trombe breaks with a noise.

Not only the priest but also Karsted seems to be angry with the behavior of the escorts. If this is the case, perhaps speaking honestly won’t break you. Karsted has looked sharply at me, who was judging the situation like that.

“Mine, speak. Everything is accurate, lie and swear to God.”

“I’m smart. Karsted. I swear to God and I don’t lie.”

Karsted lifted Dermuel’s hand, which was raised just to wait. I felt a serious atmosphere and told me in detail what the two guards did. Emphasizing the existence of witnesses when the side service can be removed.

It took me quite a while to rescue me from Trombe, which was intricately tangled, and never hurt. Even if I finished talking, it wasn’t over yet.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“… No, please call my side service”

I was tattered around Trombe. The newly-made ceremonial clothes are frayed all over, and the parts that contain blood are pierced as if they were eaten by Trombe. The whole body hurts and I was desperately resisting.

“Where is the apprentice of the shrine maiden?”

Karsted lifts my body, which is not very powerful. In order to cut the roots of Trombe thoroughly, I seem to be in the way. It hurts all over the metal armor, but it doesn’t have the power to complain.

“Mine!”

I turn my eyes toward the frantic rush. My personality was transferred from Karstedt to Franc and I leaned against Franc.

“The priest has a fever!”

“Sorry, let’s take a break there and take that medicine. You should have lost your blood and your magical power too.”

The chief priest who was listening to the situation from Shikikoza returned to his gaze just by glancing at it. The chief priest, who took off his bag and was able to see the expression better, seemed more angry than before.

“I’m smart”

franc moved to a warm, sunny place and sat down and took out a small bottle of light green liquid from the bag.

“Please drink this, Maine”

“What is this?”

“It’s a priest ’s medicine”

It’s scary to put something you don’t understand in your mouth, but if you don’t drink it properly, it will be drunk. I tried to pick up the bottle.

“I’m sorry, Fran. I can’t do it. It looks like my arms don’t go up.”

Both arms that were desperately raised so as not to drip blood are heavy like lead and cannot be raised by themselves.

franc, who supported my back and opened the lid, brought a bottle to my mouth. I smelled like a traditional Chinese medicine, and I suddenly got stuck. The smell of boiled medicinal herbs pierces the nose.

“Fran, is this really okay to drink?”

“The priest was also eaten a while ago. It seems that the priest is a medicine that is formulated to recover fatigue and magic.”

If it is said to recover from fatigue, it must be taken. If at least the priestess is drinking, it’s not poison. I poured it into my mouth, distorting my face with a strong smell.

“Ngu !?”

rushed and pressed the mouth that seemed to vomit. Tears swelled and the whole body trembled. The tongue is numb and the back of the throat is hot. It’s a bitter and intense bitter taste that you might not feel the taste of whatever you eat for a while.

While holding his mouth, Franc, who saw me trembling, ran down to the head of the priest.

“The priest, Mine is suffering a lot …”

“As soon as the taste is sacrificed, it should be effective immediately”

The priest said, without seeing this.

The word is correct, and I can see that the body is lumpy and loses weight, and the heat draws away.

“… It ’s amazing. The heat is going to go away …”

This is a highly effective medicine. However, good drugs are too bitter to say. I want to request a taste improvement. The chief priest who claims to have sacrificed the taste for the effect cannot improve it.

Trombe was completely exterminated by the knights while I was resting and recovering. Unlike the giant Trombe, the crater is not open. One of the knights said this was because of my magical power.

Naturally occurring Trombe dives into the ground, and if it is poor for months or months, it will take several years to inhale, accumulate, and germinate. For that reason, it is deeply rooted deeply, and it seems to be hard to get rid of it.

“All members line up!”

The knights who have finished extermination of Trombe are lined up by Karsted’s command. The two who are not in line are my escorts. They are lined up in front of the priest with their traps and faced down in a row.

“Mine, come here”

I was also able to move and all were gathered on the spot. I stand half a step behind the priest, as directed by the priest. I met two of the escorts who raised their faces slightly because they were short. As expected from the voice, both of them seem to be in their mid-teens, just as adults.

Shikikoza had dark green eyes full of hatred on her self-asserted yellow-green hair. The face speaks eloquently, with a face that is well-organized but full of arrogance, and that all is me.

Dermuel is a gentle, sober-brown brown-haired hair that looks to me with troubled, awkward gray eyes. I didn’t know when I was wearing a kite, but I was bullied and I felt like a bullying atmosphere.

“Now, Shikikoza, Darmell. If there is any openness about this uproar, please state it.”

Shikikoza raised his face to the words of the chief.

“… There is nothing I have to open. That’s a commoner. That’s enough.”

¡I gently hold my chest in a dignified attitude that I believe that the claim should pass. If the other party is a commoner, there is no need to make an application. I think it is natural here.

“I should have ordered you not to hurt one?”

“It’s no problem if the commoner who suddenly stands up is accused of being injured without permission”

Shikikoza shook his head clearly in the voice of the priest ’s anger. The priest asks, “I see,” and then looks to Darmuel.

Dermuel, who was staring at the chief priest, shuddered once and then turned down and swooped.

“Sikikoza told me to speak up, and I couldn’t resist it. I’m sorry.”

Listening to Dermuel, who said so with his head down, the Priestess exhales lightly.

“Yes. As the two claim, they must be able to account for the difference in their status.”

“Now …”

Sikikoza looked at me like a cheerful face with a cheerful face. I gently stroke the hole in the ceremonial costume and bite my regret.

The priest came out one step ahead.

“Who is the tallest person here, Shikikoza?”

“It is Ferdinand-sama”

Sikikoza returns the answer, just to say that it is natural. However, he seemed unable to read the intention of the chief priest, and leaned slightly.

“Oh, that’s right, I ordered. To protect the shrine apprentice so that I don’t hurt it. You should know what you want to prioritize.

Sikikoza looks at the priest as if shocked. His face was stunned and his eyes were wide open to believe.

“But that is a commoner. A foolish child who disturbs the order of the temple …”

“Since I don’t know the situation at all, let me state. Mine is a commoner, but she is an apprentice with a blue garment. The temple side expects a lot of magic and gets permission from the lord.” A blue garment is given, and it is inscribed in the chest that complaining is equivalent to complaining to the temple and the lord! ”

In the words of the chief priest, not only Sikikoza and Darmuel, but also a part of the knights lined up behind them was heard.

“As you know, there is a shortage of nobles in this country right now. That means that there is a lack of those who can handle magical powers. Do you know that well? ”

Shikikoza seems to have grown up in the temple as an apprentice of blue priests, considering what kind of connection with the temple head. When I knew that, I felt that I was a strong opposition to the fact that I as a commoner wore a blue garment. This is because the blue priests in the temple are only those who insist that they cannot be allowed to be treated with the common people.

“In fact, it is only me and Mine in the current temple that can perform this ritual. If there is a blue priest who can perform the ritual, the common lady’s apprenticeship cannot be put out here. I can’t help thinking about that level of foolishness, but I’m told many times that Mine is here as a blue priest apprentice to perform the ritual. It ’s not just a commoner, it ’s an apprenticeship with a blue garment. ”

The priest repeatedly stressed that I am an apprentice of a blue priestess. That is the flip side of being a commoner who cannot question Sikikoza for sin.

I grabbed a blue outfit that would protect me. Thanks again to Benno’s shame for advising me to negotiate to treat it as blue because it deals with magic.

“You then violated the order, abandoned the mission, harmed the escort, appeared a magic tree that would not have appeared, confused the Knights, and increased the work. The knight who was entrusted with the escort hurt the escort’s subject and hurt the pride of the knights.I think it would be a minor crime.

The priestess turned away from the two and turned to the knights side by side. Then look down at Karsted, who crawls in front, with a cold gaze.

“Calstead”

“Huh!”

“It’s your sin to choose such incompetence as an escort and to lack of education for newcomers who don’t even know to listen to orders.

Karsted, who the priest told me to be angry, seems to be prepared to take action against him. He quietly bowed to the chief without changing one expression.

“This riot is the place of my morality leading the Knights. I apologize deeply for having troubled Ferdinand-sama”

At the same time Karsted lowered his head deeply, the knights lined up in the back lowered their heads toward the priest.
