Episode 6

Meeting is the title of the sixth episode of the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime series.

Summary
Myne insists on washing Lutz's hair in preparation for the meeting with Otto. Discussing why he wants to be a travelling merchant, the conversation turns to Myne now desiring to sell paper rather than books since there is currently not much demand for the latter.

Otto brings a former travelling trader Benno to the meeting. Introducing himself, Benno is interested in Myne's hair stick and the appearance of both their hair.

With relinquishing ones citizenship at stake, Lutz is discouraged from becoming a travelling merchant. Instead, Lutz opts to become an apprentice merchant, yet when he cannot think of what his trade would be. Myne suggests he make the paper for her which he is happy with.

Benno decides to sponsor Myne if she creates a prototype paper before her baptism. Benno intends to make both Lutz and Myne his apprentices. Lutz searches for the right tree to extract the sturdy fibres needed for creating the paper.

Requiring them, Otto can provide nails necessary for the building process but would like the shampoo in exchange for his wife. Agreeing, Corinna is introduced who is an executive of the Seamstress Guild as well as Benno's sister. Myne and Lutz find it challenging to get the proportions right when making their tools.

Receiving invitations from Otto to meet Benno, from Myne's description of it, Benno suspects her illness may be the Devouring, something fatal.
