363 Episode 96...... Crisp!

Cottori......

Meer's ears, suddenly self-defeating, capture a single sound.

That's the sound of a plate being placed on your desk. Turning to you......

"Ah..."

Earlier, there was a pile of cookies Lawrence was eating!

Apparently, Bissett lowered Meer's plate after eating the tart and brought me cookies instead.

- Hmm..., that's right, Deacon Sensei! He's a man who can!

Quickly, it was Meer who tried to reach for the cookies..., but, uh, Ludwig, and perceive Laurenz's gaze gathering. Then, from behind, he's gazing at Meer as Dion nicks...... You should be nicotine...... but those eyes...... not laughing at all!

- No, you shouldn't. This doesn't look like a good place to be kidding.

Meer sighed softly and took her gaze off the cookie.

- Yes... Cookies don't run away. Talk about just eating in anticipation of timing...... Not now, not then.

Then again, Meer remembers her conversation with Laurenz. Crisp......

"... the book of things crawling through the earth"

The name sounded familiar.

"Rafina said so. There's a guy named Gem with a copy..."

Meer remembered that although she hadn't actually read it herself, she felt it was kind of a horrible book, etc. Crisp......

"Yes, it's definitely a copy, but that one had it"

"But......, what the hell kind of book is that?

To Meer's inquiry, but Laurenz shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I've never seen it in person either. I just saw the only copy of" National Breakdown "that Gem had before..."

Then, Laurenz laughed bitterly.

"Hi Barbara didn't seem to trust me very much. Well, in fact, this is how I was planning to betray her, so I couldn't go wrong with her..."

"It is...... That's unfortunate...... But tying people together, manipulating them, it's like... magic, right? What is the Book of Things Crawling Through the Earth?

With that being said, it is Meer who recalls that such a thing appeared in Ellis' manuscript… etc. Crisp......

"Is it magic..."

Lawrence, once, tilted his neck and then laughed small.

"Oh, what's wrong?

"No, it was no surprise to hear the word magic from Her Highness's mouth..."

Then, he tightened his expression before saying.

"But, I see, it may be odd to say that magic does. That's something that magically changes people's minds. transform the life of that person into a being that destroys order. That power might be helpful if you call it magic. Oh, don't look like that, Lord Ludwig."

And, so, Laurenz laughed bitterly when he saw Ludwig.

"Other than that, I don't think I have the incredible power of magic. I think it's possible to manipulate people's minds without them."

"Well, you mean you can do that?

Laurenz laughed at Meer tilting her neck in such a way as half-truths.

"Right...... For example…, will Her Royal Highness Princess Meer read books, etc?

"Ha...? Is that a book? Well, I think I'd better read it..."

Meer recalled the recent history of reading here. Crisp......

"Recently, I enjoyed reading a romance novel that a friend of mine had."

All of a sudden, Meer raps a little bit because she talks about her area of expertise.

"Especially since the love affair between the knight and the princess is indeed, like this...... The lake scene is wonderful..."

"Hehe, I see. So...... did they want to read that book and fall in love?

"Ha... is it love? Right...... Sure, I think those things are nice..."

Meer is delusional.

Go to the lakeside of the lake with Abel......, at night, looking up at the starry sky where the moon floats......

Speaking of flirting and love, fantasize about love space......

- Fine, fine! Really good!

Meer was greatly influenced by the book!

"So, hypothetically…, if there is a book like that that makes you want to fall in love with whomever you read…, doesn't that mean a" magic book "that moves the minds of others?

"It's..."

Unexpectedly, Meer unexpectedly thinks about it. I see......, sure, if it just moves your mind it's...... maybe it doesn't matter if it's a regular novel. Crisp......

Yes, not just in love, Meer knows.

In that dungeon of despair...... about a story that only brightened my heart a little.

Ellis wrote a story that did affect Meer's mind and only slightly changed the days when she could just live in despair.

"But that wouldn't actually be the power to change reality, etc. Magic seems exaggerated..."

In such Ludwig's words, Laurenz smiled calmly and shook her head.

"Lord Ludwig, you are a little misguided. No, you're not the only one. Many intellectuals misunderstand. What happens in our hearts and now is far more relevant than you know."

That's how Laurenz closes his eyes.

"And what makes the world? That's a person. People build towns, build nations, build cultures, build academics…. So what dominates people? That's the heart. Or it's the values of that person, it's the world view, it's the faith."

"In other words..., you say that the Serpent's Book of Things Crawling through the Earth plants a" desire to destroy order "in the mind of the reader..., such a book..."

Well, there, Ludwig tilted his neck.

"No, but... that copy that a man named Gem had did say a methodology for destroying the country?

Recovered by Rafina's hand, it was a book of practice about how copies of the classics destroy the country.

Wasn't it something like brainwashing the reader's mind? And…, in such a Ludwig inquiry, Laurenz, deeply endorses.

"Yes. What was written on that was actually what action could destroy the order of nation......, that specific way. But, Lord Ludwig, which would be more effective as a temptation to offer a sword and incite (or what?) the hater to kill without having anything?

Which would be more effective as a temptation to just be vaguely told to destroy the country, or to present a concrete way and be told to destroy the country in this way? That stuff..., I don't even have to think about it.

"There's something like that..., you have it. So, where the hell is that?

"We hear that those who preach the teachings of serpents, serpent guides, always carry copies, but it is only part of the book of things that crawl through the earth. I also hear that the high-ranking serpent leaders remember its contents word for word…, but it is unclear whether the original is there."

To that answer, it was a discouraging mea...... Lawrence continues in a harsh tone.

"I have just heard that, as there is the Virgin Lafina in the Central Orthodox Church, so too are the serpents, called witch princesses, who bring together serpent guides,"

"Snake's, witch princess...?

"Yeah, and maybe... I thought the person would have the body of the book of things crawling through the earth..."

Drinking......, and swallowing the saliva, Meer... gently reached for a nearby plate.

Now is the time! I didn't think so. I couldn't stand it.

It should be time to eat about one......

But......, the hand swerves in a scuffy way.

- Oh, oh? That's weird, what looked like a delicious cookie earlier...?

and when I turn my gaze......,

"Dear Meer... I eat too much"

Anne, her frowning face, stared.

"Five tarts and cookies......, as we talked, they were crunchy eaten"

"... huh?

Such an idiot......, and Meer touched her own mouth.

On the edge of my mouth.................. it had shards of cookies on it!

- Oh, shit, you know, when...?

"If you eat any more, you will gain weight"

"Okay, but... but..."

It is Meer, who could not taste it at all because she had eaten it unconsciously.

That face brings on a slightly sad color. All the while, in front of them, a single cookie is offered.

"Already, Mia...... It's the last one."

Meer turns a full grin on Anne with a troubled grin.

"Oh, I knew you were the best belly ever. Anne!"

… it was indeed the usual landscape.
