Act 3: Chapter 39.2 - The End of Turmoil
「First, allow me to say this, Kanata-dono... I have no intention to give up on finding a way to cure Kotone-dono. But, I’m also aware that the chance for her to be cured is really low.」
「I... Am aware of that.」
「I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to answer this question and stop at this point... Kanata-dono, are you an otherworlder who come from the same world as Kotone-dono?」
I hesitated for a moment but I ended up nodding.
I had no intention to hide it at this point of time.
Moreover, Gannet who had contact with Kotone-san must’ve long since realized that I was an otherworlder just like her.
That’s why there was no use lying to him at this point.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
「I see... May I presume that you also know about Kotone-dono;s hobby too?」
Gannet asked with a serious look on his face.
I nodded at him since this matter might be related to her hobby.
「Yes, Gannet-san must have already know about her hobby too, right?」
「Yes, though I know it’s rude, I conduct various investigations about Kotone-dono... Kotone-dono even told me when she wanted to take a break from her adventuring job. She told me that she want to finish her work, so I prepared a workplace for her.」
「You know that much eh...」
Kotone’s dream was to spread manga culture in this world.
Surely, using her connection with Gannet who led the 《Mithril’s Cane》 was the simplest and fastest way to spread her works.
「The truth is... I wanted to at least fulfill Kotone-dono’s dream.」
Gannet opened the thick envelope on the desk as he spoke.
He took out a lot of paper from inside.
「Is this...?」
「Thank you very much.」
Gannet nodded happily while stroking his beard.
「Which reminds me, Kanata-dono, there’s this manga that I can’t understand. It’s in the last envelope, will you take a look at it for now?」
「A manga that you can’t understand... Is it?」
The moment I read that manga, I understood what he meant immediately.
And since it was using the characters of manga that I’m rather familiar with, my face stiffened the moment I read the content.
To sum it up, it was a manga which used the characters of extremely popular manga... A BL doujinshi.
Well, Kotone did say she loves the original manga.
This doujinshi might be drawn for her personal enjoyment instead of showing it to others.
It was a story without setting or any kind of background story, even the quality of the drawing was sub-par.
「Since that was the only example I could find, I have no idea what it was... Kotone-dono might’ve another page hidden in her room.」
「Uhm... There’s no need to see this manga. To be exact, we should burn it to ashes and never publish it.」
「Uh...? Is that so?」
Gannet didn’t seem to understand the reason though.
