Synopsis
Myne becomes a blue shrine maiden to access books, facing temple hierarchy and troublesome attendants.
Myne successfully negotiates with the temple to become an apprentice blue shrine maiden, ensuring she will receive the same treatment as a noble. Her work there begins, and after such a long wait, she can finally read in the book room! But the temple's status-based structure and her problematic attendants mean she doesn't have it easy: she'll need to beat society to enjoy her books in peace! This is a biblio-fantasy by book lovers, for book lovers! Part 2, begin! (Source: J-Novel Club)
