76 Lesson 75

The light entering through the window is blocked by a blackout curtain to prevent the book from sunburning, so an indoor illuminated by demonic props.

Room temperature and humidity, like lights, were managed with demonic props. Deena shudders herself at room temperature that makes her feel slightly chilly, but Ethereum noticed it put a blanket removed on her lap.

"Thank you"

Deena, who chuckled fluffily, thanked Ethereum with a lurking voice.

"Mmm."

Aotearoa returns a short word that is not even a reply.

Some time had passed since Aotearoa and the others had begun to look into it, but no one else had come to the hotel.

The only sound that sounds indoors is the sound of them turning the page. The concentration will not be interrupted because of it, and it will be read one after the other.

Around five books each finished reading, Ethereum stretched his back.

"Uh-huh, I'm tired. Deena, it's about noon, so why don't we take a break?

Deena gives a face to the word.

"I agree, it's funny how things have changed and you can see that. I just read it through my shoulder..."

He moves to stretch and turn his shoulders to encourage blood flow and relax the tightness.

Aotearoa received a blanket from Deena after finishing a stretch she could do while sitting down and went to the sub-empty depot.

Standing up and also lightly stretching his lower body, he now headed to the shelf with a stacked book on the table.

When we reach the desired shelf, we return the book to the shelf, checking the number.

"Have you figured anything out?

Aotea visited Deena as she put the book back on the shelf.

"Um, I've figured it out a lot, but it's kind of..."

That's how Deena answers. Twisting her neck, she gives the book to Aotearoa.

"You're more subtle with me. Unlike in the meantime, we have to find a difference between the facts that can happen from our memories."

Both of them. Um, roaring back the book, a female scribe came.

"What book are you both looking for?

At the time of her last visit, Aeta was getting information from the book she picked up. I recall that the choices were all targeted and the work went smoothly.

"Uh, it's hard to explain... there's a story of the battle between the demon king and the brave man this millennium ago, isn't there?

Aotea decided to give an explanation while showing the cover of the book.

"You want to find the difference between what's coming out of this story and what's happening now that we're alive... I don't know if I can tell you myself."

Aotearoa wrinkles between her eyebrows scratching her head, but the secretary was trying to understand Aotearoa's words as she chewed them.

"... I don't know if I can find the right material for that word, but I'm going to look a little"

Aotea stopped scratching her head and looked at her face with surprise.

"Are you sure?

She snorts.

"Maybe it's close to the discomfort I've had reading some books. In the first place, there are some strange parts to that heritage."

"... if the brave man in that story hadn't killed his people. Could you look for that in addition to the prerequisites?

Until then it was Deena who had listened in silence, but she felt some sympathy in the secretary's senses and gave out additional information.

"I see, that's interesting. That story spread, and I never had any doubts there because they'd been reading and listening to me since I was a kid. But then..."

She enters thinking mode with her hands on her mouth and saying bumps.

"Hey, you. Hey, you okay?

Aotea speaks with a gentle shake on her shoulder, causing her to regain her sanity.

"Ha, su, excuse me. When I think about it, I can't see around you anymore... for now, I'll look for the book on my side, so you two go to lunch and come."

"Please, I feel a little stuck. I need something to break through."

"Sorry to bother you, thank you"

Aotearoa and Deena bowed their heads to the clerk.

"Yes, that's okay. It's what I like and do, so don't worry about it"

She hid her reddened face with her hair as she looked down slightly.

"Thank you. Sorry to bother you when we're here, but I'll see you later."

"Don't mind me if I don't find it, please feel lucky enough to have it"

That's good to leave, the two of you decide to head to the entrance to the library.

Now he was stopped by a male clerk at the entrance.

"Excuse me, did our official bother you with anything?

Aotearoa and Deena look at each other.

"No, rather, he offered to cooperate with our investigation."

The male clerk covered his face with one hand.

"Uh, I'm telling Lena not to do much more than work..."

"As for us, it was a very helpful offer. Was it inconvenient?

Deena asked the male secretary with a slightly anxious face.

"Um, I hope it's the original business if it's about the introduction to the book. I'm just a little worried that I'm going to be burdened with doing my original work when I help with research."

It was coming from a piece of language that he didn't hate about Lena.

"So it was a failure to get help?

"No, you don't mind. Fortunately, I don't know if I can say that, but so far you two are the only visitors to today. There won't be that much more in the afternoon, so let's move along as I follow her too"

He answered as he shook his head at Ethereal Question.

"I'm sorry, but this time it's gonna be a lot more on you."

"Pfft, because it's usual for Lena to swing at me. Besides... is it an important investigation? Because the face you two were looking at the book was very serious."

"You were watching... not to hide it, but it's not an exaggeration to say it's shaping our future"

Deena snorts at Ethereal too.

"Then please don't worry about us and use us well. I'm glad the book helps, even for us."

He answered that with a proud smile. The two scribes had different ways of approaching work, but the fact that they liked the book at its root seemed to be common.
