chapter 8
8. Investigation
Like an academy, there is a large library with millions of books. A library huge enough to say that you can become the best intellectual on the continent just by reading the books in the library.
‘It’s small… … .’
Of course, that is the standard for people in this world, and from the standpoint of the district, where tens of thousands of books are displayed even if you go to a local library due to the development of printing technology, it was just a library of a slightly larger level in the neighborhood.
‘Well, there must be something you’re looking for.’
When the librarian saw me as I entered the library, he looked at me with a proud expression, but he did not show any special interest.
This is because, besides me, there were several other species who visited the library at this time.
‘They really are what they do.’
As we go inside, looking at the students who have piled up books from this time on and are immersed in reading samadhi, I think it’s really amazing. I wouldn’t be able to do that.
After rummaging through the bookshelves, I succeeded in finding the bookshelf the librarian was talking about.
‘Oh, here it is.’
I found a few books related to the Soulstone on the bookshelf, and I took them all at once and headed straight to the desk.
I put the book on the desk and lifted the topmost book. It’s been a long time since I read a book to find the information I’m looking for. On Earth, you just need to turn on the internet.
I don’t know if that’s why, but just looking at the cover makes my head feel dizzy. Having already overcome the boredom and opened the book, I was filled with thesis material that a graduate student could study.
Is it possible to make a soul stone with the soul of a beast? It is full of useless content.
“… … Well.”
In the end, I flipped through the book I was reading and closed it altogether. I can’t find what I’m looking for in this book. But that’s fine. Because there are still many books.
👌👌👌👌
👌👌👌👌👌
👌👌👌👌👌👌
“I, there… … .”
“… … ?”
“If you turn the book over like that, it hurts… … .”
“Oh, sorry.”
While I was rummaging through the books, a woman who was reading a book nearby spoke to me first.
I nodded my head as if I was sorry and began to turn the book carefully. I’m not curious about the light reflectance of the soul stone, just tell me where to get it and how to get it.
After rummaging through the book for a long time, the woman in the dark spoke again, perhaps feeling uneasy about something.
“That, what… Are you looking for it?”
“About the Soulstone.”
“What are you curious about about the Soul Stone? ?”
“Do you know?”
“Uh, to some extent… … ”
thank god. I immediately closed the book and walked over to her. She shrieked and collapsed as I approached her.
“Soulstone, may I know where to get it?”
“Hey, why is the soul stone… … .”
“I need it. Where do you get it?”
“The soul stone is like a by-product of the summoning ceremony, so the cadets who finished the summoning ceremony took it… I’d usually keep it in the family warehouse… … .”
As she said that, she continued to glance at me. Maybe because I got too close, I looked at her face just like her.
She made eye contact with me and bowed her head, revealing her black eyes through her messy hair.
‘… … I think I’ve seen it a lot.’
Black hair, black eyes, big breasts and a hidden appearance that even a full-fledged school uniform could not cover.
And the blue ribbon on our school uniform and the other green ribbon. Only after seeing it did I realize her true identity.
‘Dinua… … ?’
Dinua Erebus.
Chapter 4 final boss.
She was right in front of me.
* * *
Dinua Erebus.
A traitor to mankind who manipulates monsters in a costume that is so lewd that it is called erobos by users.
Demon summoner and corps commander.
‘… … Haven’t you betrayed me yet?’
There is not much information about her. It’s just that she was a student at the academy, that at some point she betrayed humanity and joined the demons.
It is not known when she betrayed her.
‘There is a way to find out.’
I said, as if I had just realized, carefully pointing to her ribbon.
“senior… … Did you?”
“Ah, yes… … Yes, but… … .”
“Then why do you use respectful words? Please feel free to speak.”
“Is that so… … ?”
Even so, she was still uncomfortable talking to me. I spy on the back of her hand. There was a white pattern painted on it.
By the way, the summoned beast is like a miracle from the gods, so if you stand on the side of the demons, the pattern will be dyed black.
Fortunately, it looks like he hasn’t betrayed him yet.
“What are you doing here at this hour?”
“Oh, I like to read books… yes. Reading a book… … .”
“Aren’t you going to class?”
“Oh, no class today… … .”
Unlike the tight first year, by the second year, the class seemed to be spacious. So I’m reading a book by myself here.
‘… … alone?’
Then I remembered that she was reading a book by herself. If it was the Erebos family, it wouldn’t be a very backward family, but reading a book alone is not a good friendship.
‘Hey, there are only a few reasons to be crooked at this age.’
Academic problems, friendships, family affairs.
If you are careful with these three things, there is no reason to be crooked.
I looked at her face and asked carefully.
“Senior… … Do you have any friends?”
“Yes?”
In my opinion, the dinoir stiffens. hahaha, it would be absurd to hear something like this from a junior I met for the first time. You might get angry.
But she couldn’t.
“No, so… friend is… .”
“Oh, it’s okay. Because that was the answer.”
“… … too bad.”
Too much, this must be the best voice she can make. It’s not about getting angry or swearing at a rude junior. One word too small.
It was very hard to believe that such a person would betray humanity and be on the side of the demons. It’s probably impossible as long as you don’t suffer from something for a long time.
‘Now I’m just a dismal girl.’
I started to worry. About whether or not to be friends with her.
Since many things have already changed because of reality, isn’t there a strange problem even if the boss monster disappears?
And above all… … .
‘You’re pretty.’
she was pretty Especially the body was explosive. To the extent that there were so many users who cried out that they would betray humanity after seeing her who betrayed humanity and was on the side of demons.
I reached out to her. She flinched and looked at my hand, slowly making eye contact with me.
“This… … ?”
“My name is Ian Clark. Senior?”
“Dinua Erebus… But why suddenly his name… ?”
Whether she was curious or not, I forcefully grabbed her hand and shook her hand. Leaving her completely hardened by contact with a man, he waved his hand up and down.
“It’s a pity that you don’t have friends, so I’ll be your friend.”
“Uh huh. Okay, so this… … .”
After that, after shaking for a while, I let her go.
* * *
Returning to my room, Dinoir looked down at my hands in the still-feeling warmth.
The feeling that Ian had grabbed and shaken before before was still there. It was a contact I hadn’t had in a long time.
Kukuk- He clenched his hand and wiggled his hand.
‘… … friend.’
she has no friends It’s not that I lack a family, it’s not that I don’t have enough summons, it’s not that I don’t have enough grades.
Everyone fell apart just because of her own personality. If her family had been a little short, there would have been a few girls who made her subordinates.
In fact, she was the daughter of Count Erebus, who was the closest to a marquis.
‘hehehe, friend… … .’
She couldn’t even send a letter to the family, grimacing because she didn’t have friends, so she couldn’t consult with anyone, and she lived alone for over a year.
As a result, she suffered from a significant lack of affection.
‘You’re a junior, but a friend… … .’
Ian Clark, the fact that the first graders were in the library at that time was questionable, but common sense, why would a chubby bastard come to the library?
Where is the need to go to the library, open a book, and sincerely find the knowledge you want?
‘There… … .’
She couldn’t believe she had such a handsome cub. The reason he came to him was only a kindness.
In the first place, didn’t he approach him first without looking at his appearance or his family?
‘Ian Clark.’
Those five letters were engraved in her mind. She hugged her pillow and rolled around, recalling what had happened today.
Already in her head, she was living a happy later life surrounded by him and the grandchildren she gave birth to.
* * *
In the not too distant future, I made friends with the woman who will become the boss, and I headed out of the library to my room. As soon as I got to the room, I found a stationery and a pen.
‘Soul stones are usually found in families… … .’
No matter how small the Clark family is, they probably have a few soul stones set aside. People in the other world would have just left the soulstones they didn’t know how to use in the warehouse.
There must be none, I wrote my name after writing the request to send the soul stone. But there was one problem.
‘… … My house, where are you?’
I could write down the sender and the receiver, but I didn’t know where my home was.
Can not help it. From the moment I first fell into another world, I was already in the academy dormitory, and the memory of my body was not perfect enough to recall everything.
Some of the knowledge that I memorized enough to remember was clear to my eyes, but I don’t know the address of my home where I don’t make any effort to memorize it.
‘First… … If you go to the post office and tell me, will you take care of it?’
With that in mind, I took the letter and headed to the post office. And he got into a fight with the post office worker.
“Do you want me to send you to the Clarks?”
“… … So, where is it in the estate?”
“Baron Clark, don’t you know?”
“baron… … Ha- student. I’m sorry, but please give me the correct address.”
got rejected it would be natural Even if you are like me, if a baron’s son or something like you is talking about and asking if you don’t even know what my estate is, you won’t have anything to say.
There must be dozens of counts, marquis, and dukes to memorize.
As I was looking at the map on the wall to find out where my house was, someone stabbed me in the shoulder from behind.
“Ian? What are you doing here?”
“… … Noah?”
The main character smiled and looked at me. I scratched my cheek and told her the truth.
“Well… … So, you don’t know where the estate is?”
“uh.”
“Things like that happen, too! I didn’t even know where I lived until I came out of our country!”
She insisted only on herself, and quickly found the Clarks on the map. Although not recorded on the map, she said she personally knew about Baron Clark.
“It’s great… … Noah, how did you know about this?”
“Yes?”
“How did you know where Baron Clark was?”
“Oh, that’s just. by chance… … .”
I found out by chance, so lucky.
