Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

The giant spiral staircase had a high and low difference just commensurate with its size and took less than a few hours to reach downstairs.

In the meantime, although Maria did not just follow Azmaria after her safety check, she sometimes left Amara on her back, so tired that she had to pinch a break along the way. It's a big thing that I've been walking all morning, but it's a spiritual thing to keep walking on an unpredictable, endless path. On top of that, the view from the spiral staircase was irreplaceable. It's like that, down the middle of a cylindrical space created by stacking bookcases. In other words, bookcases were lined up instead of walls on the outer edge of the spiral staircase, where countless books were delivered.

During the break, I peeked at the bookcase books for my hand, but I didn't see any books that would help me with medical care. The content itself is understandable. It was not a continental common language, but because ancient sacred letters (ancient languages) are used. I used to think that all the books I saw on the ground floor of the library were written in ancient languages, and so were the other books, which apparently hit me. Even if there was a book with clues for the treatment of albinism, it would have been nice if it had been written in letters that Maria didn't understand, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Ancient letters are often also used in the medical world. The Wand of the Wise, known as the oldest medical book in the world, was written in ancient languages, and those who aspire to doctors begin by deciphering the Wand of the Wise. Of course, young doctors and others do not seem to learn from ancient languages because they are so overflowing with common language translations of "Wand of the Wise" in modern times.

Fortunately, Maria wasn't. Thanks to familiarity with the ancient language, it was not difficult to examine the medical books written in the ancient language, nor to mix them with the conversations of the Faria and their armed summoners. The latter could be described as a matter of extreme importance to Maria's life during the Gandhian period. The contact with the Phalia's made Maria's life glorious.

Inside the spiral staircase, or the center of the cylindrical space, was a space of nothing, and if you stood at the edge of the staircase and peered down, you could peek at the staircase, which leads to far downstairs, but Maria didn't.

"It's a wise decision."

That's the word of Azmaria. She said it was a failure to peek in and make sure the spiral staircase lasted everywhere. At the same time I was surprised that even demons wanted to hold their heads, I thought it was a big right thing not to peek in as she urged me to. In fact, I was supposed to keep coming down from that point for hours, so how much despair did I taste if I had a peek in then?

The stairs themselves are like walking on a slope that is snug and never made to strain your ankles, but nevertheless, there are limits. I couldn't see much further enough for Amara to fall asleep. The shaking you feel on your back will have induced you to sleep.

If I could finally get down the stairs, there would have been a wide aisle waiting for me. If the shining cobblestone floor flows underfoot as polished out, the walls of the bookcase stand on both sides, and the ceiling is decorated with fantastic assembly lights. The collective light emits a pale light on a different principle from the demonic crystal lamp, illuminating this vast underground passage. The air is out of cold, and if it wasn't worn in, it wouldn't be cold enough to even stand.

"I could have imagined from the size of the stairs, but this place seems so vast"

Like Azmaria was gone, and I was sick of it. I've been wandering the labyrinth-stained library for the past month or so. Perhaps there is nothing but a ruthless demon.

"You knew by the time of the labyrinth."

"But I never considered it so deep underground"

"Well, I won't deny it there."

"What... are we there yet?

Rubbing his lid, I guess. Amara asked blurry.

"Not yet. You can sleep if you're tired."

"Hey, what are you talking about! We're not tired!

Amara, who jumped off Maria's back sooner or later, jumped out of momentum and tried to pass by Azmaria's side, but was easily caught by the demon's outstretched hand. No matter how stubborn Amara is, there is no match for the demon's physical abilities.

"What are you doing!

"Are you going to bother Maria again?

"We're not gonna bother you! This time it will be useful!

"That's what annoys me."

"Oh, my God!

Amara's bite at Azmaria is troublesome because it seems so loving to Maria. What Amara does, don't look pathetic to Maria. That would be because Amara is pure. Purely, you're trying to help Maria. No malice, only good intentions. As a result, Maria didn't feel bad about Amara, trying to get herself stuck in a predicament. That would be so. Amara is, so to speak, like Maria's half body. With Amara, it's no exaggeration to say that Maria is here right now.

But some of those purities won't care. For example, it is the case that possessors of character like Azmaria, who seem to give priority over anything else to the achievement of their aims. Even the puppet's chill seemed angry.

"How did your health trap Maria?

"Mm..."

"It's not like I know what you're going to do. If anything happens to Maria, I'm sorry about Setuna."

That word from Azmaria indicated her current standing, and Maria was feeling somewhat relieved. Azmaria gives special consideration to Setuna, even though this long adventure began. It's like saying in the dark that Setsuna doesn't hate me, and that's why I can say that Maria also allows her to care. Nevertheless, if that's the case, it's bad for her if she doesn't tell you that there's also a problem with treating Amara unimpeded. It would be hard for her to dislike Setuna unintentionally.

"If that's what you mean, whatever happens to Amara, yes. I know Amara very well."

"... you just know. It's a big part of it."

"But that one would respond more than I thought. Don't you think so?

Sure, she's right. Setsuna's relationship with Amara is extremely shallow. Still, Amara and Rem, who went around the hospital, could be better friends. Setuna, however, had nowhere to be judged by the shallow depth of the relationship, the short length. If you have some contact, there's something about that one that makes you think about it.

"I'm sure you do, too."

"What?

"If anything happens to you, I'm sure that one will grieve. That's the kind of person who owns the heart, that one."

"... Not at all, it's troublesome for his taste"

Nevertheless, Azmaria's mouth, which gently let go of Amara, didn't even look like she was laughing somewhere. There can't be an expression on her face. When Amara, free from Azmaria, returns to Shirasa and Maria, she shakes her hand. I guess I gave up getting ahead. Instead, he may be claiming to go with Maria. Also, I guess I care for what Azmaria told me for once. By not leaving Maria's side, she's keeping Maria out of danger.

Because of that cuteness, Maria likes Amara and doesn't accumulate.

As we proceeded along a wide aisle in the lead of Azmaria, we eventually saw a large door. Rather than a door, it feels like two giant books are poking around the aisle. I didn't think it was the end of the line because things are different from the other walls. Because the other walls, they're made of bookcases, but there's a book about the same size as a bookcase standing in the way, and it's odd.

"Is that the end of the line?

"There will be no end to this. If it's a staircase for that book, I don't have a word to give it back."

What Azmaria saw was countless bookcases standing on either side of the aisle, and books lining the bookcases. Countless books can't even be read to your hands without using those spiral staircases that you have to spend hours up and down, so it may not be surprising if those books are treasures in this underground space. Nevertheless, from what I have seen, there are no books sought by the Marias, and if it is an underground space for those books, now it is clear that we will have to aim for the upper echelons, and even then it will take another huge amount of time.

Maria prayed that Azmaria's opinion was right, although she didn't say anything.

Azmaria stood just where the two books were in contact as she walked over to the book wall vigilantly around her. Keep it up, reach between the book and the book and grab one cover. And when I pulled hard, the book opened lightly, and the cover kept flowing up to the wall. Countless pages were rolled so that they were pulled to the cover, and Azmarian paper swayed to wind pressure.

"Oh, it's open!

"Good. Not the end of the line."

"Oh, now I think I can go first"

When Azmaria opened the cover of the other book in the same way, the book also moved in the same way. As the cover moves to the interior of the wall, the page rolls, and Azmaria's face is stirred by wind pressure. The only thing left was the back cover, but also with regard to that, Azmaria just pushed it gently to open it. I can see that there is even more vast space waiting behind the door of the book.

It was also an atmosphere fundamentally different from previous spaces full of books, and Maria inadvertently held Amara's hand strongly to the heterogeneity of the sight as she had never seen it. Thanks to Amara for gripping me back, I'm relieved. Look, Amara seemed to remember the tension, too.

Azmaria also steps inside that space with some vigilance. Wait for Azmaria to make sure it's safe before continuing later. If you step into the space, you'll see that it's an overall metallic, covered space. A vast hemisphere-shaped space, concentrically circular from center to outside, appears to be lined with metal desks. At the center, there was something like a circular pedestal, and Maria was distracted by what floated above that pedestal.

Lightly luminescent spherical object. Some parts are blue emitting light, while others emit diverse light. While rotating slowly, it doesn't even look as if it's illuminating inside this space. But it is also clear from the fact that the whole indoor is bright that that is not the lighting of this space. This metallic interior has light everywhere, and it's like those lights are replacing lighting. Desks, floors and ceilings were lit indoors by the light flowing on the surface of the metal covering them.

Maria first expressed her doubts, although she was also concerned about the strange sight of the indoor itself. It's about a sphere floating around the center.

"This... what the hell?

"Booey yesterday, is that the one?

Amara's defensive function was Azmaria's designation for guardians who appeared from time to time. The defensive function of the ancient library is putting on guardians, Azmaria said no. As long as we don't shut down that defensive function, the guardians will attack us as many times as they can, he said. But she also said that the way to shut down the defense function was unknown and that there was no choice but to do all this.

"No... this is-"

Azmaria passed through the aisle between the standing desk and the desk and headed towards the centre. Maria follows suit.

She peered in at such a distance that she touched the light-emitting sphere that it did.

"I see. Right. Sure it is. This is an ancient library. Location of memories sealed before unification. The memory of the world before reunification should be asleep."

"What? Is that what you think it is?

"Well, well, well. Don't waste it on me. That's what Setsuna thinks."

"Don't think you can handle it if you give me Setuna's name, you crazy bastard"

"Who's crazy!

Azmaria has silently killed Amara and turned her attention to Maria.

"… this is a world diagram"

"World diagram......? Is this...?

Maria was more than surprised by Azmaria's explanation. The world diagram would mean that it shows the figure of Illus Valle. For example, the blue part covering the bulk of the sphere is the sea, otherwise the dotted part is no more than an island or continent. I had heard of the “great destruction” that made the world split apart, and for Maria, who also knows examples like Benoa Island, it is an acceptable form of appearance. But sometimes I wonder.

"Is this the current Illus Valle?

"I don't think so. This is an ancient library. recorded is just information before this place was sealed"

Azmaria's answer was to dispel Maria's doubts as well as remind her of new ones.

"More than five hundred years ago, before it was united by the Holy Emperor Miendia Raegnus-Wargrain, it was a memory of a world made up of several continents and countless islands before it became a single continent."

To Azmaria's explanation, Maria was so shocked that she lost her words.
