Ascendance Of A Bookworm Part 5 Volume 8

“I’ll do anything to save him. Anything.” Greater duchies, the Sovereignty, the royal family, even the gods themselves—Rozemyne will take on anyone in her quest to rescue Ferdinand. She uses her newly acquired Book of Mestionora to activate Kirnberger’s long-dormant country gate. Then, with Dunkelfelger on her side, she speeds to Ahrensbach even faster than Steifebrise. To war! As the battle against Lanzenave commences, Georgine finally begins her invasion and triggers the Defense of Ehrenfest. Can the combined forces of the temple and the lower city’s commoners help keep the duchy safe? And can Rozemyne secure victory in this game of true ditter?! The newest volume of this biblio-fantasy contains more than one hundred pages of original content not featured in the web novel. And as always, look forward to more four-panel manga by You Shiina!

Myne narrowly escapes death thanks to a magic tool, only to be told that she has just one year left to live at most. She decides to spend her remaining time with her family, concluding that she would rather die with them than sign her life away to a noble. Meanwhile, Lutz fights back against his parents, steeling his resolve to become a merchant no matter what. Together, they plan to continue making paper up until their baptism ceremony, but they are soon called over by Freida to talk about the Devouring. This is a biblio-fantasy by bookworms, for bookworms! Part 1 concludes with this volume.

Rozemyne awakens from her two-year sleep to a world that isn’t as she remembers it. The strange sensation fills her with unease, but she has no time to rest—she is soon to be enrolled in the Royal Academy as an archduke candidate, where she will be taught how to control her mana, make magic tools, and perform the magic needed to rule as an archduke. She begins dormitory life with colorful teachers and students from other duchies, aiming to be the best big sister possible... but there is little chance things will go according to plan when there is a massive library on the premises. She charges there at once, the other archduke candidates and even the royal family disappearing from her mind entirely. She truly will do anything for books! Now begins a new chapter of this biblio-fantasy, with a school as its setting! This volume includes two original short stories, a four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina, and the results of the second popularity poll.

Rozemyne needs only one more ingredient for her jureve: the ruelle fruit she failed to gather the year before. With it, she and Ferdinand can finally brew the potent potion that will make her a normal, healthy girl. Well, probably... She funnels her excitement into advancing the paper-making industry and gathering more support, all to create a world with more books for her to read. As winter approaches, however, the political struggles between nobles intensify. Various plots unfold and sow discord within the temple, and what happens next will forever change not just Rozemyne's future, but her new little sister's fate as well. Shocking developments bring Part 3 to its climactic conclusion! This volume also includes short stories leading into Part 4, and four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!

Spring is the season when love blooms! Rozemyne's retainers are bursting with energy as they make clothes, attend their debuts, and shine in the new season. The improved printing press is finally completed in the temple workshop, and the variety of available books is steadily beginning to expand. Picture books, collections of sheet music, knight stories—all are now being sold. Their first aim is to further develop the paper-making industry in preparation for the spread of printing across the entire duchy. To this end, Rozemyne's party travels to Illgner, hoping to teach them how to make paper while also researching new materials to use. As the environment around Rozemyne slowly improves, the archduke's older sister arrives for a visit, shrouding Ehrenfest in an air of unease. Everything changes in this volume of this biblio-fantasy as nobles emotionally clash and the conclusion of Part 3 approaches! Including two newly written short stories and a four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!

Rozemyne now only needs the ruelle fruit she failed to gather last year. With it, she and Ferdinand can brew a potent potion known as a jureve, the power of which will finally make her a normal, healthy girl! Well, probably... Her joy leads to a flurry of activity as she pours her all into advancing the paper-making industry and gathering more support, all so that she can create a world with more books for her to read. As the High Bishop, she eventually has to travel through the Central District for the Harvest Festival, and in the midst of all this, she even gets her first little sister. But as everyone prepares for winter, the political struggle between nobles intensifies. Their plots sow discord within the temple, and what happens next will change Rozemyne’s future forever... Shocking developments abound in this climactic conclusion to Part 3! This volume ends with a series of short stories leading into Part 4, alongside the now familiar four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!

Despite having recently been separated from her lower city friends, Rozemyne has no time to grieve. Her first year at the Royal Academy has ended, summer approaches, and there's much for her to do. She strives to continue making books as per her promise to Lutz, but the spring feast also sees the announcement of her engagement to Wilfried—one of many political maneuvers to resist influence from the higher-ranking duchies. Rozemyne makes magic ink with Ferdinand, fills the Central District with mana during Spring Prayer, and accidentally revives an ancient ritual in Haldenzel. Other provinces continue to grow in the background while the lower city is extensively remodeled in the name of developing the duchy as a whole. Blessed be the melting of the snow! Prosperous be the duchy! This is the newest volume of this biblio-fantasy, now fantastically celebrating spring!
