Episode 9

The Guildmaster's Granddaughter is the ninth episode of the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime series. It aired on 27 November 2019.

Summary
Benno brings Myne and Lutz to the Merchants' Guild to get them temporary registrations so they can sell products freely in town. As they are not his relatives this is strictly against the rules, but the Guildmaster is willing to bend them... for a price. He wants Myne to make a hair ornament for his precious granddaughter Frieda.

Afterwards, Gustav tries to persuade Myne to work for him instead of Benno.

Both Myne and Lutz present the hair ornament to Freida, selling her two on account of her hairstyle. Freida also attempts to draw Myne into her family business. Preparing to leave, Freida asks Myne if she has the Devouring, and is aware of some of the symptoms.

Although she says it cannot be cured, there are ways to stave off its effects such as with expensive medicine or if the host has clear motivations.
