Episode 7

Seeds of Suspicion is the title of the seventh episode of the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime series.

Summary
Travelling through the wealthy area of town, Myne and Lutz make their way to Benno's office. He offers to create all the tools necessary to create paper for them both, but requests the recipe for Myne's shampoo.

Myne agrees, with the condition that herself and Lutz have all the rights to the paper once it becomes profitable. A magical binding contract with Benno is signed.

Lutz wonders who Myne really is considering the in-depth discussion she just had. Considering what will happen if people find out she is not actually Myne, she decides to complete her paper creation first before letting the fever take her.

Meeting with Benno's assistant, Mark, they mention a workshop to store their equipment near the forest gate before Myne faints. Awakening, Myne is told Lutz should accompany her when she heads out for work.

Benno informs Otto that the Devouring affects commoner children who have developed mana and most of them do not live to see their baptism.
