Chapter 122: 122

First, let’s sort out the current situation. I was waiting in the square in front of the main gate (inside) for Marieta to come back.

Marieta came back and I watched from a distance so as not to disturb the face-to-face reunion between parent and child.
When I looked around, I felt something was wrong, and the cause of the feeling was that the fountain in the main gate square had changed.
When I approached and observed the place where the fountain changed, the fairy stone statue in the place where the crystal was supposed to be floating, for some reason the surroundings became silent and I was isolated from the people around me.
When I was investigating the cause and examining the fountain and the fairy statue, [Japanese] emerged in the fountain, and when I read it aloud, I was sucked into the magic circle that suddenly emerged in the fountain.
Then, I was in a place like a mysterious limestone cave with dripping water. ← I’m here now.

I organized the current situation, but I don’t understand at all. If anything, this kind of mystery-solving event should not be done by me as a muscle brain character. Because the story won’t progress at all.

Alright, a muscle brain is a muscle brain, let’s move forward blindly.

Just right, there was a wall behind me, so it’s a one-way street. And I have [Sloth], so I can see even in the cave. By the way, let’s activate [Greed Kind] against the cave. Which cave is this?

 

{〈〈Limestone cave leading to the true forbidden library〉〉

No coordinates. If you meet the conditions (*), decipher different world characters within the time limit, and chant it, you can enter. It leads to the forbidden library where [King of Lies] hides [Devil’s Notes].

*Conditions
-Know about the existence of the forbidden library of the Royal National Academy of Magic in the Kingdom of Roserial.
-Have danced in a circle on the grounds of Roserial Magic Academy.
-Be the first of the surrounding people to discover the fairy that randomly appears in the water fountain of the academy, which can be found when the above two conditions are met,

If the different world characters cannot be deciphered within the time limit, the fairy will leave and have another random appearance.}

 

. . . . . . . .
Before I knew it, I met the conditions for participating in the True Forbidden Library event. Maybe I know about the existence of the forbidden library because I’ve heard from Marieta that there is a forbidden library that has been forgotten? Dancing in a circle on the premises was when I danced with Ursch-kun during the last campfire, right? It was a big dance around the burning staff building. . . The different world characters are probably the [Japanese] mentioned earlier. Isn’t it impossible to decipher it if you weren’t transferred from another world or reincarnated from another world? No, if you think about it, the characters of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ is close to Japanese. . . Since ‘seller’ is written in kanji and you can read ‘Ursch’, is there anything that can’t be deciphered if you know the Ouka language? It looks like they make swords like Japanese Katana, so is it related to Japan somehow? I don’t know.

Well no. Let’s proceed for the time being. If I proceed like this, there should be a true forbidden library where [Devil’s Notes] are hidden. If I go there, there may be a clue to the exit. And above all, I may find out something about the ‘Demon Lord’.

I continued straight through the limestone cave. There was no fork in the cave, it was a straight road. I just kept going straight, and when I lost my sense of time, I went out into a large dome-shaped space. I never watched sports competitions in my previous life, and I’ve never seen a live concert, but I vaguely think the size of the dome shape is probably close to the size used for that. I thought this was a forbidden library, but it’s a space with nothing.

I looked around for something, and I found an arched double door on the wall on the other side of the large space. I searched for something else, but there didn’t seem to be anything, so I decided to check the door.

Is the door reasonably large? It was a dignified size and it was made of a black marble-like material. I put my hand on the knob and pushed it. It won’t open. . . Oh, it was a sliding door.

When I pulled the door open, the lamp directly above the inside of the door automatically lit up. The lamps were lit in order from the one closest to to door as if it was a chain reaction. When the lights surrounding the room were lit, the lamps lined up the walls also turned on in order. I opened my mouth and looked at the high bookshelves that appeared every time the upper lamps were lit. It seems that books in high places can be reached by climbing a ladder, but even so, it’s quite expensive. It’s like being in a huge tower. All the lamps lined up near the ceiling lit up, and the long and huge magic stone chandelier hanging from the center of the ceiling shone. I turned my gaze back in front of me.

 

There was a translucent girl in front of me.

 

Is it horror day today? Too many bad events happened to my heart. Now, my heart jumped for a moment and almost stopped!! It appeared before I knew it!! I’m scared!! However, we can’t stare at each other in silence, and I squeezed out my voice as I was about to pull away.

“He-, hello.”

“Welcome to the ‘True Forbidden Library’. My name is Navi, the guide of the forbidden library. Is there a book you are looking for?”

The translucent girl replied in a programmed voice. It seems that she is called Navi. Let’s remember Navi, the navigator. She looks just like the fairy statue, but she’s expressionless compared to the pretty smiling fairy statue. It’s a little scary. What should I do? Is it okay to honestly answer [Devil’s Notes] here? I couldn’t make a decision, so we stared at each other silently. For the time being, should i look for it on my own and ask if I can’t find it? I put together my thoughts and answered Navi.

“Well. There are a lot of things I’m looking for, but I don’t know the title. Can I look for it myself?”

“I understand. Tea and sweets are available on the table in the center of the floor, so please take your time and look for it. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.”

“Thank you. I’ll call you if there’s anything I want to know.”

When I thanked her, Navi slowly bowed and disappeared. No, that’s why I’m scared!!

For the time being, I headed to the table where Navi-san (?) seems to have placed the prepared tea and sweets. I don’t know how long this forbidden library has been around, so I was a little worried that the tea and sweets might have been dried up.

I approached the sofa and table surrounded by Gothic furnishings and looked down at the tea set on the table.

I was surprised to find that fresh fruit tarts, freshly baked scones, and freshly brewed coffee were prepared.

Is it coffee?! Shouldn’t it be tea in this case?! I mean, did they have coffee in this world?! Certainly, coffee may be better for research, but it’s surprisingly complicated in a different way!!

I checked the safety of the coffee and sweets with [Greed King] and took a seat in a hurry. It’s my first coffee since my previous life!! Where can I get coffee beans? I wonder if Ursch-kun will drink coffee? No, I won’t give it to him, because if I give Ursch-kun coffee he’s more likely to make items without sleep.

I drank coffee while feeling nostalgic and tearful. In this world, there are as many ingredients as in my previous life. I mean, there are ingredients such as monsters and magic plants, so there may be more kinds than in my previous life. But I couldn’t find any coffee!! Even though there is miso, soy sauce, rice, and cacao!! When I cook, everything turns into sludge!!

“Come to think of it, when I cook, why does everything become sludge? Even though I have chef skills. No matter how I look it up, I don’t know.”

“Are you looking for ‘chef skills’? As a result of searching for ‘Chef’ and ‘Becoming sludge’, I found three materials.”

Navi-san answered from beside me. When I jumped up and looked to the side, a translucent Navi-san was standing there while holding three books. Please don’t appear suddenly, Navi-san. It’s bad for my heart.

 

Okay, so not some strange plot by previous life Ursch. But. . . I want a library like that! I could live there and never leave! Being surrounded by books and having a AI type librarian seems like a dream come true to me. In the next chapter we may finally find out why everything Isabella makes turns into sludge. But I hope she isn’t in there for a few days without realizing it. Ursch would freak out if he couldn’t find her. It wouldn’t surprise me if he already knew that she disappeared somehow though.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
