Ascendance of a Bookworm (本好きの下剋上 司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません)

After further fueling the legend of the saint,

Rosemyne successfully completes her debut.

And then...

Brother Wilfried.

I have to attend to the Dedication Ceremony and will be absent for some time.

Huh?!

Everyone, this is our chance!

We'll do some intensive training while Rosemyne is gone!

Yes!

Then, after the safe conclusion of the Dedication Ceremony...

As you've asked, I've imbued Leidenschaft's spear with my mana.

What do you plan to do with this?

We will use it to gather winter materials. It will serve as your weapon.

Huh?! But this is a divine instrument!

Is there any problem with a high bishop using the equipment of their cathedral?

The Lord of Winter has appeared. This year, it is a schnesturm.

You should be happy, Rosemyne.

We may be able to harvest a feystone of the highest quality.

Let's head to the castle at once.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke

Episode 13 Winter Material Gathering

We've made you wait.

Wow. Knights from all corners of Ehrenfest are here.

The Lord of Winter has appeared once again this year.

The Lord of Winter is

the strongest feybeast that appears during the winter of that year.

Everyone, give your utmost for this subjugation!

Yes!

Brigitte will ride with Rosemyne on her highbeast.

Damuel, act alongside the other lesser knights.

Yes!

Hey, Brigitte.

What kind of feybeast is a schnesturm?

I don't know the details of it myself,

but I have heard that it is a particularly formidable beast

among the various Lords of Winter.

Lord Ferdinand.

May I pray for everyone's success in battle?

It would be best if you conserved your mana as much as possible...

but very well.

Thank you kindly.

O God of War Angriff, kin of the God of Fire Leidenschaft,

I pray you grant them your divine protection...

Prepare to move out!

You must have used quite a bit of mana just now.

Drink this.

Ugh! The terribly tasting restorative potion!

This time, in particular,

it is important to ensure your health and mana are in peak condition.

So bitter!

Move out!

It just keeps getting worse...

Please be careful. It could appear at any moment now.

Over there!

Isn't that way too big?!

Brigitte, join the line of battle.

Sir!

Brigitte...

Please rest assured. We are all here with you.

Rosemyne, you are to wait here.

Be ready to dash out at a moment's notice.

"Dash out"?

Damuel!

I have received orders from Lord Ferdinand

to ensure you conserve your mana.

In other words, you're here to keep an eye on me so I don't cause any problems?

Lady Rosemyne, you have a habit of offering prayers based on your emotions.

I'm here to stop that from happening.

As expected of the high priest. I can't say I wouldn't do that...

It's begun. It's the commander and Lord Ferdinand!

That light...

It's the attack that defeated the goltze on the Night of Schutzaria!

Huh?!

Let's go, Karstedt!

Yes!

It's coming!

Brace for impact!

Did we win?

Please look!

No way...

What in the world...

The Lord of Winter's kin!

Huh?

The minions of the schnesturm!

The schnesturm's kin spawn from the blizzard.

Therefore, their appearance means...

Feybeast Schnesturm

That's the schnesturm...

I thought it was big, but I didn't realize it would be this big!

Damuel, will everyone be all right?

It's recovering...

Lady Rosemyne!

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke

That was close...

To think we'd struggle so much, even with Lady Rosemyne's blessing!

Damuel, is there anything that I can do?

We have already received your blessing.

And I've received strict orders that you must conserve your mana.

But!

It will be fine, Lady Rosemyne.

True, the schnesturm is a formidable opponent.

However, the knights of Ehrenfest fight against the Lord of Winter every year.

It's not like they are completely unbeatable!

High Priest!

Rosemyne!

We only have until schnesturm completely regenerates!

Wield the Spear of Leidenschaft!

Yes!

May you be victorious!

Come.

Yes!

Y-Y-You want me to jump over?!

Such a hassle.

I apologize for the trouble...

Let's go.

We cannot miss this chance.

A safety bar...

Hold the spear with both hands and pour mana into it with all your might.

Yes!

Not yet.

Still not enough.

Enough. Hold it with your right hand and be ready to throw it at any moment!

Let's go!

Yes!

Throw it!

Go!

It's sunny?

The subjugation is complete.

Let's go retrieve the feystone.

Just a bit more is needed.

You could imbue it with your mana later, but...

I'll do it now.

The subjugation this year wrapped up faster than expected.

It's all thanks to you, Rosemyne.

Good. That's enough.
