182-176 Value varies from person to person

After visiting the grimoire, I decided to read every single book I saw for now.......that's the kind of enthusiasm I had, but there were too few things to see.

''........I still don't understand where in the world the reason it's called a magic library is.''

While there were a series of books on how to brew tea properly, care of plants, and various ores, there were few books on magic that were important.

And yet there were only beginner or intermediate magic books, and the rest were not books, but rather a compilation of several papers that were laid out as a single volume with a cover.

'If there are any, only papers... is this kind of negligence allowed?　More than that, I'm beginning to think that Mr. Orford is interfering with me...was he set up when he was brought here?

'I don't think so. I'm sure there's something useful in here.

'Yes. Even if Mr. Orford didn't like it, no matter how much he disliked it, there must be a clue in there somewhere.

It's like they could hear me muttering to them, and they encourage me.

'Lydia, can you not call me too much of a hater?　Because it's very sad and mentally goofy. What more do you know or feel about Mr. Orford and the Mages Guild?

As far as I could tell from the fact that they weren't angry, I thought they were, but they taught us, though they looked a little troubled.

''It's nothing special, but Luciel-sama taught us during his training.

Nothing is ever wasted, and accumulation is the shortcut to the best.

Following Nadia, Lydia smiled and nodded, too.

But she didn't remember saying that, and she shouldn't have done anything in front of the two of them in the first place.

''Did I say that?''

I'm sure I'll look at them in wonder.

The two of them laugh at me as they look at me and tell me.

''No, it was a real battle. Not to mention fighting against Brod-sama and Lionel-sama, even against demons, they taught me not to be easily beaten with the same hands and not to give up.

''It's not an overnight achievement for a healer to acquire that much combat skill. Besides, with all these books, there must be an opportunity to bring back Master Luciel's abilities lying around somewhere.

Sure, some important things may have been hidden, including Mr. Orford, but value varies from person to person.

I've decided to believe that.

And when I tried to thank him, for some reason I felt embarrassed.

''Thank you .........''

I had been fine before, but suddenly I felt like puberty was coming back, and I felt terribly embarrassed.

But at the same time, I could see that I was also extremely happy for some reason, but I didn't know why.

''We'll help you, even if it's in a small way, so let's think of it as a training exercise and do our best.

I'm sure Master Luciel, who has the courage to stand up to the evil one, can do it.

Their words haunt me.

Apparently, I'm a simple guy, too.

I was motivated by the support of the opposite s*x.

'Thanks, both of you. And I need your help.

Yes, sir.

Thus, with the help of the two of us, the search for materials began.

I'm going to look into the attributes of Nadia, and Lydia will look into the chanting, and I'm going to thoroughly look into the materials about the magic and magic system.

I worked on scribbling down on parchment where I was curious, and the three of us would discuss that later.

Many of the books were useless to read.

Nadia and Lydia's words kept me positive, but after a long time of looking at the words, I was getting sleepy indeed.

'No matter how much I feel motivated, it's not like there's a hint hidden in there...'

Suddenly, a book caught my eye.

It was a compilation of seriously researched papers that did not view magic power as magic, but as something that could only raise physical abilities at once.

By circulating the magic power in the body at high speed, it could not only strengthen the body but also raise all the statuses.

However, the repercussions are still forcibly drawn out, and it's not something an ordinary human can use heavily.

''It's kind of late now. I've lost my recovery magic, does that mean I'm not even allowed to enhance my body?

While tweaking the paper, I found a simple hint as I read onward.

It seems that they also experimented with what would happen if they used magic outside of the body instead of circulating the magic inside the body as mentioned earlier.

I was curious about the rest of the story, so I rolled up the page and found lots of words for failure, disappearance, and explosion, but there were also some success stories described there.

'The success cases were ones where the magic power was so visible to others, but it didn't raise the body enhancement.......Huh?'

In conclusion, it was concluded that you can interfere with magic that is not yours, but how you can interfere with it only depends on your skill level in controlling magic power.

However, a remarks section existed, and it said that those without attributes would do research on activating attribute magic.

''You mean to tell me that you can use magic without attributes, but you can activate magic through magic tools?''

I immediately stepped in to see if there was a follow-up volume to this series and looked around the stacks, but I didn't see it anywhere in sight.

'You mean, conceivably hidden?　Or maybe this paper wasn't evaluated and they didn't get the research funding?

It would be a waste of time to stay frozen forever, so I decided to ask God to help me and then pick up any books in the collection that I was interested in, like I did earlier.

''That Luciel-sama, what's that pile of books?''

I went and collected every book I cared about after that.

I just smile back at Nadia's words.

''........and even the ones that have nothing to do with magic.......what's wrong with you?''

But Lydia's, I think you've lost your mind.　The words with such implications were indeed a bit sad.

'I found some useful information while I was researching earlier. ─ I found some useful information while I was researching, because it was a book that I was vaguely interested in. I looked at some of the other books because of their titles, but they didn't work for me at all.

Is that how you managed to collect all the books you care about?

Well I don't know, but the amount is a little odd.

They were dismayed, but they did not blame the operation itself.

The girls probably didn't have any useful, eye-catching information on their end either.

''I'm glad to have a hint. Well, it wasn't much to look at at all at once. But I'm sure you should have a look at these...

If I was calm, it wasn't an amount I could read in one sitting.

The fact that I was doing it unconsciously made me feel embarrassed.

'That's good to hear. But we haven't gleaned anything yet over here.'

I don't have one either.

They let it wash over them, but they were feeling a little tired, so I suggested that it was time for tea.

'Let's both take a break, shall we? I don't think we'll be allowed to eat or drink here, so let's go back to our room.

Master Luciel, is everything all right today as far as food is concerned?

Lydia asked, feeling a little lost.

Come to think of it, we have to prepare a meal.

I haven't seen the stuff in the warehouse yet, so it should be ready-made for today at least.

'Yeah. There's still some ready-made stuff out there.''

'Then I'll still try my best. Because as a spiritist, I'd like to use my magic more freely.

I had given up on magic since my job was a swordsman, but I'll work hard for my goal.

They said and went back to their work.

I decided to go through the books from one side to the other, thinking that they might be working harder than I was.

'I'll give you both some candy instead of tea,'

"Candy?!

They came right up to me, as if they wanted some sugar.

The momentum was so great that I stuttered a little.

'Oh. It was a prototype I made with honey, but I didn't get much of a chance to eat it.

"Thank you.

Nadia and Lydia were as synchronized as twins, and when she put the honey candy in her mouth, she instantly recovered and smiled very well.

Seeing their faces, I suddenly remembered how I had fallen in love with them in my previous life.

Then he put the honey candy in his mouth so that the two of them wouldn't find out about the rush in his chest.

I couldn't hide my bewilderment at the loss of the healer's job and the various desires that were coming to the surface.
