Rozemyne immerses herself in intense study at the Royal Academy, driven by her goal to access the coveted library. Her unconventional behaviour raises concerns among her retainers and professors. She becomes embroiled in political tensions with the duchy of Dunkelfelger over contested matters involving Schwartz and Weiss, leading to a strategic game of treasure-stealing ditter. Amidst her quest to safeguard the library, Rozemyne disrupts diplomatic norms through secretive consultations with rival archduke candidates and even offers romantic counsel to the prince. This volume presents another lively chapter of the biblio-fantasy saga, enhanced by two original short stories and a four-panel manga illustrated by You Shiina.

A Toe-Stepping Political Dance

Since the moment she set foot in the Royal Academy, Rozemyne has put her absolute all into her studies so that she can finally get into the library! Unfortunately, she behaves so abnormally in the process that her retainers and professors end up concerned...

Then, she clashes with the greater duchy Dunkelfelger over Schwartz and Weiss, and a game of treasure-stealing ditter is arranged. In Rozemyne's quest to do anything to protect the library, she continues to be a constant source of headaches for the leaders of Ehrenfest.

She completely ignores diplomatic norms by accepting furtive consultations from other duchies' archduke candidates, and even gives the prince himself romantic advice!

Here comes another chaotic volume of this biblio-fantasy, which also includes two original short stories and a four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 4 Volume 2 (Light Novel) by Miya Kazuki is a thrilling continuation of Rozemyne's adventures in the Royal Academy.
