Ascendance of a Bookworm (Novel): Part 5 Vol. 03

No time to rest—the Interduchy Tournament is about to begin!

After yet another fever, Rozemyne awakes to some shocking news: the Sovereign knights captured for interrupting her ditter match might have been under the influence of trug. This brings a recent incident involving Lady Georgine to her mind, but Rozemyne decides to leave the matter to the adults. After all, the Interduchy Tournament is coming soon, and the students of Ehrenfest need to prepare!

This event will also bring a long-awaited reunion—Ferdinand will be staying the night of the tournament in Ehrenfest’s tea party room. Rozemyne struggles to keep her emotions in check, but she makes her decision: “I will do everything in my power to welcome him!”

Follow along with Rozemyne’s book-driven rampage in the next volume of this biblio-fantasy, including two new short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina!
