202 7. Records of memories

Olivia slowly woke up in a fluttering awareness.

Apparently, he was lying down, and the ceiling was visible.

"This is... a ceiling I don't know!!"

Olivia's slumbering consciousness was awakened at once, and her eyes were wide open. I can't believe there was a ceiling in this world that I didn't even know existed...! "

"I can't go anymore." We need to calm down first. "

Olivia took a deep breath and looked around.

It's a dark, dim passage, but the wall seems to be made of a tree trunk. I could see the area without darkening because the flowers were glowing slightly.

”I'm... surely filled with books I've made?”

In other words, this is the world in the book.

"Oh, wow! I can't believe I put it in a book!" I'm impressed!! "

I want to share this emotion with someone. Olivia thought so, but unfortunately there's only one of her own here.

- I'm sorry.

Olivia tilts her head, wondering what to do. I think there must be a good reason for getting into the book.

Orthodoxy, for example, has something to do to save this world, right?

If you ask me to be a hero, I will gladly fight the Demon King, and if I need a helmet to save the world, I will give this to you whenever I need it.

"Ha! If you show yourself to me, Levi will scold you, so you can't do it."

Olivia suddenly finds herself shaking her head.

Speaking of which, I think I heard the word "treasure trove of knowledge" the moment I was able to eat it.

Olivia walked towards her voice, saying that there was still a reason she had eaten herself.

Meanwhile, the library of the forest.

When I saw Olivia eaten by a book made to tell the history of the Marine Forest, everyone's face turned pale.

One, Levi, was about to become a horseback rider, and he said, "Give Olivia back!" I'm sticking it in a book.

…………

The silence in the room is probably because everyone is desperate about what to do.

Aquastide was the first to open his mouth.

"Keith, librarian, is there such a precedent...?"

“There shouldn't be”

I'm new to this, and there's no record of a book with a will.

Apparently, we don't have any leads at the moment.

The books that Levi seized are jittery, but they don't feel like malice. So, Aquastide thinks it's tricky. As the book said, what I wanted was' knowledge '.

"Miss Olivia's knowledge of the Marine Forest is probably one of the highest in this country..."

Not to mention the fact that historians are no less important, they will also have a lot of information that scholars do not know.

“Yes, no historian is better than Olivia.”

"Levi..."

Proudly nodding Levy, Aquastide stopped with words and looked at the book, "What's the matter?"

This book was talking when I swallowed Olivia. Could it be that you can communicate with your will? ”

Tiara Rose slowly approached the book and spoke to her.

Hey, can you talk? Tell me what's going on with Lord Olivia. "

Watashi is a book that spins history. I wanted to know more, and I swallowed her with a lot of knowledge.

"-"!

Everyone breathed in a voice that directly resounded in their brain.

Apparently, as Tiara Rose thought, this book has a consciousness. And greedy for knowledge.

I need her knowledge to make a perfect history book.

"I'll take it...? What is Olivia doing now...?!"

In response to Levy's impatient voice, the book answers with a pale voice.

I will return it as soon as I have the knowledge. I don't know how many days or years after that.

"What year...!?"

You can't do that! I have to get Olivia out of here somehow...... ”

It is okay to cooperate to complete a history book, but we cannot be trapped in a book for years without permission.

Tiara Rose bites her lips and squeezes the book. It is important to make a history book, but it is not made at the expense of someone.

Levi put his hand on the book and said, "Shall I tear it off...?" It's a noisy thing to say. "

”Why don't we get into the book somehow? Then we could save Lord Olivia."

Tiara Rose thinks that entering a book to help someone is a common situation.

"Tiara, that's just too dangerous. What are you going to do if you can't come back?"

I was told by Aquastide to stop immediately.... but we can't even pull back the Tiara Rose. Olivia is a dear friend.

---This is also the fault of the confectionery ring.

Aqua, I want to help Olivia. Will you help me?

"...... I don't think you can say anything about that face."

Aquastide, who understood everything with the expression of Tiara Rose, agreed to cooperate with the "I can't help it".

"You two...!" Thank you. We must rescue Olivia. ”

Levi thanked Tiara Rose and Aquastide, who had decided to help Olivia, and spoke to the book in a terribly cold voice.

“I have the same level of knowledge as Olivia. Tiara Rose, the fairy king, and Aquastide, the starry sky king. Each is beneficial to you. Come on, let's swallow it too."

I don't care if I have more knowledge.

The book opened the page wide and swallowed Tiara Rose, Aquastide, and Levy.

"...... Master Aquastide, Master Tiara Rose!!"

Elliot, who was left behind, rummaged towards the book, but did not reply.

"Wake up, Master Tiara Rose."

"Nh, nh...?"

Levi shook his body and Tiara Rose's consciousness surfaced.

Apparently, she was unconscious because of the shock in the book. When I looked next to him, Aquastide had just woken up in the same way.

"Is this... in a book?"

"Sounds like it." It looks like Olivia isn't around..... "

Levi looked around lightly and dropped his shoulder. I knew you'd see Olivia soon enough.

“Tiara, be careful not to leave me, as it may be dangerous.”

Yes.

For the time being, we must grasp what the world like this is like in the woods. However, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

"Eh...!?"

What's going on?

Is this near the border with the Lapis Lazuli Kingdom?

Instead of being in the woods, the Tiara Roses were close to the border between the Marine Forest Kingdom and the Lapis Lazuli Kingdom, as Levi told them. In the distance, you can see the beach and smell the sea breeze.

As the Tiara Roses watched their surroundings vigilantly, the carriage caught sight of them. It seems to be coming from the Lapis lazuli kingdom side, heading for the beach.

It's a luxurious carriage, so it must be an aristocrat on it.

- Listen to me, or if you can take me to a nearby town--

Maybe we can figure something out. It was Tiara Rose who thought so, but she often looked at the carriage and took a breath. Because the carriage looked familiar.

Inadvertently holds his mouth down and takes a step back. Then I bumped into Aquasteed behind me, but he quickly supported me.

"Aqua, that carriage..."

Yeah.

It looked like AquaStead was thinking the same thing as Tiara Rose. Levi is the only one who doesn't seem to understand, and he's staring at the carriage for whatever it is.

"Isn't this an ordinary carriage used by the nobility?" It's a luxurious category, but... "

Saying that, Levi blinked his eyes. I knew what Tiara Rose and Aquastide wanted to say. Or rather, it was the person who showed his face through the window that made me understand.

Tiara Rose and His Majesty Aquastide are on board.

"... that carriage was on it when I brought Tiara back from the lapis lazuli."

There are also escorts and servants in the carriage that follows behind. Perhaps Filine and Elliot were there too.

"This is... a history book"

It doesn't just appear to be written down, it seems to be recording what happened. Tiara Rose thinks it's like watching a recorded video.

When I go to the beach, I meet Ishira, and I can't bear to get along with Aquastide, and I meet the fairies of the forest when Tiara Rose is alone.

It's nostalgic, but it feels embarrassing because it's about me when I was young.

I wanted to turn my face... and when I thought about it, I heard a book directly in my head.

Since the three of you have come into me, the decisive history of the Marine Forest will gradually be buried. Thank you.

For the book, knowledge seems to be the memory of the Tiara Roses.

I want to keep a record of the moment when the Starry King's Queen set foot in the Marine Forest.

The scene was replaced by the royal castle.

In the room where the bright coral chandelier lit up, a baby with dark blue hair was fast asleep.

There were people in the immediate vicinity, and they seemed reluctant, but apparently they didn't see the Tiara Roses.

Tiara Rose and the others look at each other and go to the baby.

"--This child..."

…………

Seeing a baby asleep feeling good, Tiara Rose turns her gaze to Aqua Steed, just beside her. But Aquastide remained silent.

--I have a face...!

Maybe this baby is an Aquastide!? I think Tiara Rose.

In a world without cameras, you can only see pictures. As a result, Tiara Rose's tension rises when she actually sees her baby's Aquastide.

”Aqua, aqua, this kid... aqua, right?”

Tiara Rose asked excitedly, and Aquastide nodded with embarrassment.

- I knew it!

It's not Olivia, but she's moved too much, and she's bleeding her nose. Tiara Rose holds down her mouth and turns into a cute sleeping baby Aquastide.

"Baby Aqua, she's so cute."

I'm driven by the urge to hold a small hand, but I have to endure it. Tiara Rose takes several deep breaths to calm her feelings.

But, can I just touch it a little bit...? That's why Tiara Rose reaches out and touches her baby Aquastide's hand... so bad. Even if I tried to touch it, I got through and couldn't touch it.

"Oh no! You can't even touch me!"

It was like a hologram.

Tiara Rose was stunned and stared at her at least to burn her eyes if she couldn't touch it.

--Aqua had long eyelashes around this time.

I can't see my beautiful golden eyes because I'm asleep, but grace comes through. She must be raised with a lot of love.

- I wanted to meet Aqua when I was little.

Eating sweets together, reading books, talking... I think I would have enjoyed playing like that.

--Because I was just being swayed by Hartnights when I was a child...

Remember your past for a moment, and Tiara Rose's eyes will be distant. I didn't always have bad memories, but I struggled a lot.

When I looked at the baby's aquasteed, I felt that it was rewarding for the trouble. Tiara Rose feels her cheeks become loose and she thinks her baby's Aquastide cheeks seem very soft.

--You 'll really regret not touching me...!

"Tiara, I'm embarrassed to be seen so much..."

"Ah... but it's Aqua!" If you miss this opportunity, you may never see it again. ”

I want to see more, and it's so cute that I can see it forever. I can't wait to see it.

"If you don't show me Tiara's baby, it won't fit..."

"My childhood is a lapis lazuli..."

I'm afraid I can't see it in this book. After all, this is the history of the Marine Forest.

But when I said that, the scene switched again.

"Ahh, that's not true...!"

Even though I still wanted to enjoy myself, Tiara Rose was shocked.

This time the place is a rocky mountain with rustles and few trees. The ore is rolling around, so it's probably a place where there's not much people coming in.

"What is this place...?"

Is it a place that Aqua can't remember?

Looking around, Aquastide had no idea. Of course, it wasn't even in Tiara Rose.

And then the rest...... and Levi.

This is where I was training.

Levi said that and pointed at the rock. It's a boulder that's about five meters long, but if you look closely, you can see that it has a mark that looks like a cut.

Levi's weapon, which specializes in dark weapons, was a dagger, so it quickly became clear that it was a wound from it.

As Tiara Rose looked at the rock, "Wow...", a knife pierced through her body.

Aaah!

Tiara!!

"Ahhh, ahhh... it's okay. I'm sorry I couldn't touch anything in this world, but I'm glad I can't touch it now..."

Dodd and his heart are making unpleasant noises.

Ah, it's me.

Eh

In Levi's voice, Tiara Rose and Aquastide looked behind them. There was Levi at a young age with a dagger. My hair is not all-back, it is kind of fresh because I can see how young it is.

"I asked Olivia to give me some time for training." Of course, Olivia was well taken care of. ”

"I guess so..."

The Tiara Roses watched as Levi took care of Olivia, but it was a little strange to be apart for training.

At a young age, Levi practiced muscle training, handled daggers, and read and studied martial arts books. Although Levi usually looked cool, he was actually quite a hard worker.

Since then, several scenes have changed, and looking at Aquastide's childhood, it was in the basement of the Royal Castle that he eventually reached.

There is a brightness of the candle, but it is still not very well seen because it is dim and the eyes are not used to it.

"This is... I wonder when it's underground."

In some cases, Ferres and Lige are here because the sights you've seen are fragmented.

Tiara Rose stared at her and saw a figure.

Olivia!

Levi! His Majesty Aquastide, Tiara Rose!

Somewhere I was relieved, I saw Olivia, as Levi had called her. His eyes were filled with tears.

"......! Is something wrong, Olivia?"

Olivia slowly shook her head... as Tiara Rose and Aquastide rushed to worry. There was Ferrez.

"It's all right, Lige." I'll be here forever. "

Ferrez's tears could be seen in Ferrer's eyes.

Apparently, this place is a long time older than Tiara Rose knew. Ferrez's air is heavy, and he even feels desperate.

"Lady Olivia, I'm glad you're safe... but how long have you been here?"

"... my role is like an objective flow line when there is a big movement in history. I talked about the underground passage of the Imperial Castle and Lord Ferrez."

As a result, he came under the royal castle and looked at Ferres' records.

Olivia explained that since this sight was originally included in the history of Marine Forest, it can be seen without any problems.

"That said, it's probably not a good idea for others to look at it with their shoes....."

"... I see."

Tiara Rose nodded in agreement with Olivia.

Olivia wipes her eyes with her handkerchief and says, "Shall we go home?" Until now, I was here because of force majeure, but now that the Tiara Roses are here, the knowledge I wanted for the book must have been supplemented.

"I told you that I might need Olivia every few years... but it was solved in such a short time...?"

Pure wonder, Tiara Rose turns her puzzled expression to Olivia. Aquastide also looked at Olivia, “I knew I needed a lot of knowledge...”

"Ah, if that's the case... I've given you my strategy book."

Is that the strategy book that was in Olivia's villa?

"Yes, sir."

Olivia nodded with a doya face.

Strategy Book - This is the [Lapis Lazuli Ring] strategy book that contains everything Olivia remembers from her previous life.

It is the supreme book with various information about this underground passage as well as evacuation routes known only to royalty. It's no exaggeration to say that Olivia's knowledge is all over the place.

--that's why you were able to shorten your time.

Perhaps without the strategy book, it would have taken years, as the book said.

"I have to thank Lord Olivia for her strategy book." Thank you, Master Olivia. "

“No, I have never been more privileged to have my knowledge useful in the history books of the forest archives.”

Anytime, any day, any year! Tiara rose bitterly said to Olivia that she wanted herself to be weighed down there.
