Part 3 Volume 5

This is the twelfth volume of Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel.

Synopsis
Rozemyne now only needs the ruelle fruit she failed to gather last year. With it, she and Ferdinand can brew a potent potion known as a jureve, the power of which will finally make her a normal, healthy girl! Well, probably... Her joy leads to a flurry of activity as she pours her all into advancing the paper-making industry and gathering more support, all so that she can create a world with more books for her to read. As the High Bishop, she eventually has to travel through the Central District for the Harvest Festival, and in the midst of all this, she even gets her first little sister. But as everyone prepares for winter, the political struggle between nobles intensifies. Their plots sew discord within the temple, and what happens next will change Rozemyne’s future forever... Shocking developments abound in this climactic conclusion to Part 3!

This volume ends with a series of short stories leading into Part 4, alongside the now familiar four-panel manga drawn by You Shiina!
