CH 134

First, I explained the situation when I wandered into the Forbidden Library on the day we received the robes. And in the Forbidden Library, there is something called the ‘Most Important Documents’ that can’t be viewed without unlocking the seven lock codes. I explained that the ‘Most Important Documents’ is probably the [Devil’s Notes], which is said to have been hidden by the [Liar King].

While listening to the explanation, Ursch-kun repeated some things for confirmation.

“Hmm, I see. . . And that lock code was the [Japanese] language of the country where Isabella lived in her previous life, right? And the different world characters to decipher in order to enter the Forbidden Library were also [Japanese], right?”

“That’s right. There are some similarities between the characters and words of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ in this world and ‘Japan’, but it is clearly [Japanese], and the content is also related to the culture around the time when I lived in my previous life.”

So I started exchanging various opinions with Ursch-kun. Since one of the lock codes is [Transfer to Another World], there are definitely people who came to this world from Japan. I don’t know if it’s the same person as that person, but a person related to Japan is involved in the Forbidden Library. The fact that the characters and words of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ are similar to ‘Japan’ may have something to do with it, but if we expand the discussion to that point, it will get out of control, so we decided to put it aside for the time being. However, Ursch-kun raised one point about it.

“It’s ‘Ouka Fugetsu’ created by the Game Ursch, which was in Isabella’s [Closet], but the theme is ‘Allied Ouka Islands’. If Game Ursch is the same person as one of the great sages in the parallel world, then for some reason he’s come into contact with the culture of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’, right?”

“That’s right. But it’s not only ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ but also items with the theme of ‘Garo Empire’ and ‘Kingdom of Zahar’, so I don’t thing it’s any wonder.”

“If it’s the same continent, I can still understand. But, did he go out of his way to learn the technology of an island country where the safest way to enter is only the teleportation gate? The teleportation gate is an ancient magic tool, so the examination for permission to use it is quite strict. There is no established repair method when it breaks, so the operation schedule is organized on a yearly basis.”

“Did he study on his own with things and materials that came through trade?”

“That kind of technical data doesn’t come across. Even in the workshops and shops in this country, there are techniques that are ‘closed to the public’, right? Because it’s ‘allied nations’, since it’s a collection of multiple island nations, each island nation has different opinions on diplomacy.”

“Ah. . . In other words, even if there are items that some island countries thought could be exported, other island countries with similar techniques don’t want to export them and if they don’t agree, it will be rejected?”

“That’s right, the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ has to be unanimous at the alliance meeting.”

“If that’s the case, I have a feeling that almost nothing will be exported. . .”

“Isabella, do you have chances to see products from the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ other than food?”

“Tableware. . . Ah, that’s also related to food. As for ethnic costumes. . . I’ve only seen the ones worn by the people of the Allied Ouka Nations, and the weapons are the same. I’ve only seen other things. . . Huh? I hardly ever see them.”

“There are accessories in the style of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ in the market, but it’s almost impossible to get genuine products from the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’. It’s a rare item that only royalty and high ranking nobles around the world can get.”

“When I think about it, it really makes me wonder. How did Game Ursch-kun learn how to make swords from the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’?”

“This continent doesn’t know much about the culture or technology there, so I can understand why he would be interested in it, right? But in order to learn that mystery technique, I think you actually need to go there, but to be honest, I don’t think Game Ursch has time for that, right? The procedures are also very complicated, so if you don’t have a dream or purpose of peddling around the world when you graduates and gets married like us, you wouldn’t go ‘only’ to learn the technique of making swords if it were me. It’s not an item that I want to make that much.”

“Isn’t it necessary to go through all the complicated procedures to go to the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’? I don’t know.”

“What was the purpose?”

“At least in the main game, there was no mention of Ursch-kun studying abroad in the Allied Ouka Islands to learn techniques. Well, it’s natural because it’s not the main character. . . Oh, but there was a senior who studied abroad from the country thought to be the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’.”

“What do you mean by ‘the country thought to be’?”

“Strictly speaking, it was a setting that he studied abroad from the east. The item you can get at that event is ‘Ouka Fugetsu’, so I think that senior is most definitely from the Allied Ouka Islands.”

“By the way, what is the status of that senior?”

“Eh? Status? He felt like a samurai, but I don’t remember the specific status. Wasn’t he a samurai? To be honest, I wasn’t interested in the capture targets.”

I don’t remember because I had a glimmer of hope that the hidden character who would be released after clearing all the routes would be Ursch-kun, and I almost skipped the story. By the way, I didn’t skip it completely because hints that are important capture points are mixed in between stories and lines. The otome game ‘Love Magical’ is a game where you will get stuck when you skip and miss the hints. In the first place, there are SAN value recovery items, and it’s an otome game where you go through the barrage attacks of serial kidnappers, right? I can’t let my guard down.

“Hmm. That senior, I’m hooked. What will happen if you clear that senior?”

“Marieta will go to the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ with her senior, become a ‘Sakura Saint’ and marry that senior. Strictly speaking, it’s ‘to her senior’s home country in the east.”

Sometimes I talk about it completely as ‘Allied Ouka Islands’, but in terms of the game setting, it’s the ‘Eastern Country’. Or rather, the status of ‘Sakura Saint’ has ‘Ouka’ attached to it, so it’s almost certain. Since Marieta has pink hair, she suits ‘Sakura Saint’. I don’t know what kind of role it is, but ‘Sakura Saint’. . .

“Next time, could you ask Marieta-ojousama if she had a time when she became a Sakura Saint, and if so, can you ask if she remembers that time?”

“Come to think about it, in conversations with Marieta, the subject of that senior has never come up. I’ll ask her.”

Maybe it’s written in the notebook I received.

“By the way, Ursch-kun, why are you concerned about that senior?”

“Based on the impressions of the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ we’ve been talking about, do you think ordinary people can come to study abroad?”

“. . . It seems like they won’t be able to come. Or rather, in reality, I’ve never heard of an exchange student coming from the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’.”

“I’m also curious that even in the game settings, the country of origin is obscured by ‘exchange student from the east’.”

By the way, there is an ocean from the northeastern side of the Roserial Kingdom in the east to the north of the neighboring country, the Kingdom of Diana in the north. It is said that if you cross the sea to the east, you will find the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’.

It is said that if you cross the sea to the north of the Kingdom of Diana, you will find the Gorgonhas continent. It’s actually in the northwest direction, but I’ll put that aside.

Well, what I want to say is that the Kingdom of Roserial only faces the sea on the northeastern side. The Kingdom of Roserial is not the easternmost point of the Galfasia continent. As an ally, it’s the easternmost, but it’s not the easternmost from the whole continent. There is a neighboring country across the mountain range that rises to the east of the Kingdom of Roserial, and another country beyond that is the easternmost. There are two countries on the eastern side of the Roserial Kingdom that are connected by land. The easternmost country is located southeast of the Roserial Kingdom, but the details are fine. The easternmost point of the Galfasia continent is that country.

In other words, the eastern country referred to by the setting of ‘exchange student from the east’ does not necessarily refer to the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’ . . . But if you think about it culturally, I think it is definitely the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’.

The neighboring country in the east beyond the mountain range is like the Mayan civilization, it’s like a jungle, or something like a pyramid. . . something like that. . . I can guess from the atmosphere. It’s separated by a mountain range, we’re not in an alliance, and we don’t have much interaction, so I don’t know much about it, and anyway, I don’t know much about it, so it’s hard to explain. I don’t know much about the Mayan civilization in my previous life, so I gave it as an example to be honest.

The easternmost country over there is also a neighboring country of Souzard, and it feels culturally close to Souzard.

In other words, the impressions of the two countries in the east on this continent, do not match with those of the senior who is a capture target in the samurai style. To be honest, it’s obvious, but why don’t you make the country of origin clear instead of calling it the eastern country?

If you think about it when it’s pointed out, it’s natural for Ursch-kun’s attention to be caught. It’s certainly suspicious.

I thought he was a samurai because it was a samurai-like character, but if he was a samurai, he should have gone to the knight school, and I also question why he went to the magic academy.

Certainly, there is a department called the Magic Warrior Department, right? But if you’re going to go through complicated procedures to study at a magic academy, are you not a sword-wielding samurai character, but an Onmyoji-type character? Isn’t this the magic academy? What are you going to do if you don’t give priority to magic-oriented students to study abroad?

Huh? The more i think about it, the more suspicious it is.

Ursch-kun called out to me who was lost in thought.

“Well, it’s a different issue from the Forbidden Library this time, so let’s leave this question for a later date. We can’t even check the answers at the moment.”

“That’s right. We don’t have enough information if I don’t listen to Marieta’s story, and there’s no point in thinking about it now.”

“However, it might be better to think about the possibility that Game Ursch or the great sage of the parallel world had some interest in the ‘Allied Ouka Islands’.”

Let’s keep it in the corner of my head. Even though it’s Game Ursch-kun, it’s information related to Ursch-kun, so I don’t think I’ll forget it. Honestly, it’s not the real Ursch-kun information, so I have little confidence to remember it.

The Kanji for ‘Sakura’ is the first half of the word ‘Ouka’. The second half is the Kanji for ‘Hana’ or ‘flower’. Ouka is just another way to pronounce it. So maybe it was supposed to be ‘Sakura Flower Allied Islands’ or ‘Cherry Blossom Flower Allied Islands’, but I’m just going to stick with Ouka. That’s why it says Sakura Saint has Ouka attached to it.

Well everyone, this was the last chapter. We are now officially on hiatus until more raw chapters are posted. I will now be picking up the series ‘This “Summon Kitchen” Skill is Amazing!’, chapter 55 will be uploaded in the next few days, as well as finishing the series ‘Ring Ring’. Please check them out if you would like. I will miss this series and all of my commentors and supporters, but hope to be able to update it soon. Until then, I will just have to keep wondering. . . What are the other lock codes to the ‘Most Important Documents’?!?!?!?!?!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading! I hope to see you all again soon!
