201 Episode 52: The Book of Things Crawling Through the Land

Same place Meer plays with priests in the Crescent Zone.

"Oh, it's kind of boring without Mr. Meer..."

St. Noel's School, in the Student Council Room, Rafina was sighing.

"It's true...... Oh, Rafina, it's this budget, but Mia wants to add a little more dining room related stuff..."

Chloe handed Rafina a parchment with a budget.

"Is there something wrong with the dining room?

Tiona raised her hand to Rafina, who leaned her neck.

"Um, that's... I also talked to Chloe to find out that there is a theory that it is bad for her health if she doesn't eat many different kinds of things well..."

That's what Tiona has been offering me was a nutritional book Chloe took back.

"I think you probably knew this, Mia. Look, Meer, you often say mushrooms, mushrooms. It says here that mushrooms are so good for you, you must have read these books"

Then, Tiona smiles a little before continuing.

"Meer, you're too smart, so I guess sometimes you skip explaining... Mr. Keithwood said it before."

"Oh yeah...... That could be true. Ugh."

I remember a friend in far away imperial lands, and Rafina smiled as well.

"I really wish you could have explained a little more, even during the student chairmanship election. Do the roundabout like that..."

So the three girls looked at each other and laughed with pleasure.

... and that was then.

Concon and a modest knock sounded.

"Excuse me. Lafina..."

"Oh, Monica, you're home."

It was Monica Buentia, a former windraven constituent, who opened the door and came in.

Today she wore a thick grey coat, not made-up clothes.

"I'm back now"

"Thank you. So, what do you say? Did you find him?

"Yes, it was discovered from the example hall"

After saying so, Monica placed the square wrapped in cloth on the desk in front of Rafina.

"Yes, you're right, Linsha."

"Lafina, what the hell..."

Rafina smiles deeply at Tiona, who looks at the interaction between the two and tilts her neck wonderfully.

"This is... the teachings of the serpent of chaos... a copy of The Book of Things Crawling Through the Earth..."

Saying so, Rafina turned the cloth.

What showed up was an old book. He glances at the black grubby cover and Rafina distorts her face in disgust.

"As far as I know...... this copy rarely appeared on the tabular stage of history. It's the first time I've seen it too."

Thus, suddenly Rafina stroked the surface of the book.

Moment - A slight chill ran at its fingertips.

It's like a snake crawling around on your skin...... Rafina accidentally breathed in the intense discomfort of conveying her arms from her fingertips and running around her body.

"... what's that now?

Rafina stares flatly at her own palm. Monica has turned a worrying gaze on Rafina like that.

"What's wrong? Lafina."

"... no, nothing"

Smile to delude, then, Rafina urges Monica to report again.

"By the way, Monica, have you read the contents of this book?

"Yes. I had your permission, so one street is"

"Yes...... So, how'd it go?

To that inquiry, Monica shut up for a moment and then

"Right...... In short, the book says that the revolution will destroy the country, the process."

"Is that... prophesying a case of a revolution in the Kingdom of Lemno, or something like that?

"No, you don't"

Monica shaking her head. To the answer, Rafina frowned.

"No...? I wonder what that means?

"Rather than a prophecy..., this is, I don't know..."

A tour of the moment, then Monica said.

"Yes, like a mass of malice..."

The voice was faintly trembling, wondering why.

"Malicious...... chunks? That's kind of a... a little sensory expression."

"I'm sorry. I think so myself."

With that said, Monica sighed small. Then continue with a flat voice disguised as calm.

"What it says is how it destroys the order of nations, its methodology (manual). How to corrupt the kingdom and rough up the country, how to accumulate people's deaths and breed hatred, how to soil it and wage revolutionary wars…, how to manipulate the hearts of the people and destroy the order of kingdom. It's a book with a lot of that knowledge."

So, Monica rubbed her arm against the lid.

"As I read it, it seemed like the malice of those who wrote this would be engulfed... I felt such a scourge"

A slight fright shown by a spy trained and required to remain calm at all times......

Rafina, who saw it, seemed for a moment to have thought of something...... but immediately shook her head small.

"Either way..., analyzing that book might catch a clue to the serpent of chaos. That's right, Mr. Meer."

"What? You found that book, Meer?

In surprise, Chloe turned her eyes round.

"Yeah, that's right. Mr. Meer asked Prince Zion and Prince Abel not to kill that man named Gem. That's how you sent it to me...... Must be because I thought I'd get this book or something similar."

"I see, you do indeed. Meer, naturally, I don't think it would be strange to think about that."

"Oh...... right. Meer..."

Tiona and Chloe agree with Rafina's guess.

Monica saw how it went......

- You're a hell of a person, Her Royal Highness Princess Meer... I can't believe I'm even assuming this...

It was a new engraving of awe.
