Chapter 259: 259

Gel’s mouth twitched as he glanced at Alice, who was still rummaging in the spatial pocket. Although he knew that Alice wasn’t an ordinary person, he still couldn’t help but treat her as a child because of her appearance. Hence, he felt it wasn’t suitable for Alice to read books like the one he was currently holding.

The content of the book he currently held was… How should he put it… It was a novel that wasn’t suitable for children. The novel had existed a long time ago, and almost every adult in the current demon realm had most likely read it once before. Though, the novel probably wasn’t as old three hundred years ago, so maybe that was why such a book was inside Grant’s spatial pocket?

Gel’s mood was a little complicated. After turning a few pages, he found that this novel was indeed the same one in his memories. So, he hurriedly set the book aside and turned to the other two dozen or so books on the table. Then, he picked one out and opened it to take a look.

[How to make an exquisite tiramisu? Step 1: Add 40 grams of granulated sugar into two egg yolks heated in a warm water bath. Stir until the granulated sugar is melted. Then, pour in 30 grams of milk and beat until the custard thickens. Step 2…]

Upon turning to the first page, Gel immediately found himself looking at a baking recipe. Moreover, this was a recipe he was familiar with.

Some time ago, Kamia had thought of broadcasting herself baking desserts, but she didn’t know what she should make. So, she had asked Gel to come up with an idea for her. Although Gel knew nothing about desserts at the time, to not disappoint his little sister, he had spent several days reading numerous books related to desserts. Meanwhile, this tiramisu recipe was something he had come across in one of the dessert books he had read.

Upon seeing this recipe, Gel immediately realized that something was wrong. It was obvious that the content he saw wasn’t this book’s actual content. Instead, it was the content of a book he had previously read, and his memory of it was being used to cover up this book’s true content.

Otherwise, there’d be no explaining why Grant, a Demon King who had lived several hundred years ago, would have a cookbook that had only been written in the past decade or so in his spatial pocket.

“That should be everything. I don’t see anything else here,” Alice muttered as she withdrew from the spatial pocket.

While Gel was inspecting the books on the table, Alice had also finished emptying the spatial pocket. Apart from the two dozen or so taboo books, the only thing she found inside the spatial pocket was an ordinary-looking wooden stick.

The wooden stick was similar to the sticks used by teachers when they were giving lectures. It didn’t look like anything special. It looked so unassuming that Alice suspected it might be a twig that had fallen into the spatial pocket when Grant was storing his books.

Even so, Alice chose to keep the wooden stick. Although her right hand showed that the stick was indeed nothing special, just like its appearance, it might be a powerful and well-concealed tool. Hence, she decided to take her time studying it once she returned home. Even if it turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary wooden stick, it wouldn’t hurt to be cautious.

After emptying the spatial pocket, Alice sat cross-legged on the experiment table, picked up one of the books beside her, and opened it. For some reason, Grant refused to write anything on the cover of these taboo books, so she had to inspect the books one by one to know what they were actually about.

However, when Alice saw the content on the book’s first page, her expression changed instantly. This was because recorded inside this book was content that shouldn’t exist in this world.

Unlike Gel, who needed to read two books to realize that there was a problem, Alice instantly realized that a spell was affecting what she saw when she saw the title written on the first page. Specifically, the spell was causing her to see memories of the books she had read in the past rather than the book’s actual content.

Gel was a native of this world. He had grown up reading the books of this world, so it was normal for him not to realize that there was a problem with the books here right away. However, Alice came from Earth, and many of the books in her memories also originated from Earth. So, when a book from Earth appeared in Grant’s collection, she promptly realized something was up.

This cautious fellow… He even added a layer of protection to the books themselves… Alice thought to herself in exasperation. However, this wasn’t exactly bad news. At the very least, the fact that these books were protected by a spell on top of being kept inside a spatial pocket showed just how much Grant valued them.

Meanwhile, Gel couldn’t help but wonder what kind of content Alice had seen when he saw the exasperated look on her face. His curiosity toward Alice herself also increased.

Personally, Gel felt that he had a rather astute mind. Yet, he still needed to inspect two books before realizing something was wrong. So, how did Alice determine that there was a problem with the books after looking at only one book?

The only explanation Gel could come up with for this situation was that Alice could say with absolute certainty that the book in her memories couldn’t appear in Grant’s collection. Hence, she could instantly determine something was amiss with the book she held.

“Andusia, can you see what’s written in this book?” Alice asked as she opened the book in her hands and showed it to Andusia, who was still hanging in the corner of the room. Even though she had realized that Grant had done something to the books, she couldn’t determine what spell he had used on the books due to her limited knowledge. So, she decided to turn to Andusia for help.

“This book?” Andusia muttered with a pale complexion. Then, in a confused tone, she continued, “Demon Terrain Documentary? Why would that Grant guy have such a book in his collection?”

Evidently, the content of the book Alice held had changed into the content of the book titled “Demon Terrain Documentary” when Andusia read it. Meanwhile, similar to Alice, Andusia also quickly realized something was wrong with the book.

“Wait, that’s not right. The content of this book is too strange… Some sort of spell should have been cast on this book to trick my mind and eyes into seeing things in my memories. This book’s actual content should be different.”

“Do you have a way to lift this spell?” Alice asked, nodding in agreement with Andusia. She felt she made the right decision to ask Andusia for help. Compared to an amateur magician like herself, an old witch like Andusia, who had immersed herself in magic studies for multiple decades, was much more suited to handle such a challenge.

“I can, but…can you let me down first?” Andusia asked as she looked at Alice helplessly.
