"Oh? Yuya-san! It's been a long time."
Lena-san, it's been a long time!
When I visited the library, there was Lena, the librarian, who had dealt with me before.
Last time I visited, I was asked to choose the laws of this world, magic tools and other books, all of which were very easy to understand, so I hope to be able to help again this time.
“What kind of book are you looking for this time?”
"I was going to look into the various races..."
Is it a race?
"Yes. In fact, I don't see many non-humans in my hometown, so I thought I'd be able to deal with a lot of things if I looked into it beforehand..."
In fact, humans with the characteristics of animals such as cats and dogs on the planet, and races with long ears and pointed ears are not seen except for cosplay, but they deceived people to an unnatural extent.
... there are examples of monsters and monsters in the sky, and maybe they even exist on Earth just because we don't know them.
Ah, and do you have any books that show the principle of leveling up?
“Okay, I'll be looking for you, just a moment.”
If it were true, I wouldn't have dealt with each person like this, but now that I don't see anyone else in the library, I guess I'm lucky.
But I didn't see so many people in the library last time... surprisingly, isn't it common for people in this world to read books?"This library is splendid..."
I didn't think anything about it because I live on Earth, but maybe it's because of the low literacy rate.
With that in mind, Lena came back with a few books in her hand.
"This is the only book in this library that contains what Yuya-san said."
In doing so, they were given three books: "Race Study", "Genesis Myth", and "Status Research Materials".
"I'm sorry, I tried to find a lot, but I only found these three books..."
"Oh no! Thank you for looking all the way here."
Lena was somewhat impressed when she received the book.
”Nevertheless... until Yuya-san told me, I wasn't very conscious either.”
Huh?
"No, for me, elves and Beastmen have been close to me since I was born... and I've never really thought about the concept of leveling up."But this time, I was looking for the books that Yuya asked for, and I was surprised that there actually existed a book that summarized them. "
I see.
"As a matter of fact, I only have one copy of this research material for my stats and level-ups."Maybe if I go to a bigger library such as the King's Capital, I'll find something else... but when Yuya-san finishes reading it, I'll read it too. "
Certainly, it's hard to question something familiar from birth.
However, the child asked the parents, "Why?"I'm curious, but without some knowledge, you probably won't even know the answer to your question.
In that sense, it's important to acquire knowledge.
With that in mind, I was about to read a book. [M]
"Oh...? Speaking of which, the collar..."
I... Viola suddenly realized that the abominable collar around her neck had disappeared.
”No way... are you taking it off...?”
I checked my neck many times, but I couldn't find anything like a collar.
But it wasn't very believable.
"Ah, at that time... no, I'm sure they were still wearing collars..."
The crowds wore special collars to keep our merchandise from escaping.
This collar can only be removed by a specific person, and if you try to force it off, it will cause severe pain and kill the worst.
Even if I tried to ignore orders and confront people, as long as I had that collar, it was impossible.
And as the crowd fled the [Great Demon Realm], we took the goods and left.
In order for us to fulfill our role as a team, we use the function of a collar...
But the collar was gone.
”How... how can I remove the collar in a way other than this one...?”
For a moment, the idea that the man named Yuya was also a fellow man, but I don't know why the collar was removed.
If I keep it as a product, I don't have to take off the collar.
"And..."
"That person... feels different..."
There is no special reason.
However, his attitude towards me made me think so.
He took me so seriously when I was so ugly.
Maybe it was an act... but it was the first time I've ever been stared straight at like that, except for my parents.
"... I guess you want to believe it..."
I muttered to myself in mockery.
I want to believe that his kindness is genuine because he has been despised.
"But..."
"After all, I'm afraid to trust people..."
I had to hold my knee and bury my face.
"Hmmm..."
It took me about an hour to finish my book.
Thanks to the skill [Speed Reading], I was able to read the difficult contents of the research materials quickly, but after a closer look, it took longer.
Moreover, I didn't know much about Viola's Smile Clan.
"Now I know that the florist race literally has the characteristics of a plant flower..."
As I heard from Viola, it seems that the florists have the property of sucking up the magical power of the land as a nutrient, and basically they live in a forest rich in magical power.
In addition to Viola's Smile Clan, there are other species with flower characteristics such as the Rose Clan, the Kiku Clan, and the Lan Clan.
However, I didn't know the characteristics of each flower.
People with the characteristics of beasts called other Beastmen were written in more detail, so only the Flower Man is a mysterious race.
"I didn't even know the characteristics of the adult that Viola-san was talking about..."
It seems that the characteristics of adults and children are different, so it would have been nice to know the definition of that adult, but it didn't work.
However, I did not get any information about the florist, but I found it interesting with regard to the structure and status of this world.
"I can't believe the status and level-ups mean this..."
As for "Genesis Myths", it felt similar to the myths that exist on Earth, and it was interesting to read them normally.I just don't know if that's true.
On the other hand, "status research materials" was a surprising succession.
Apparently, leveling up is an act of raising the bar for creatures.
This creature's morale is important, and the higher its morale, the better it will be for its species.
And the superior body is the body that is easy to leave offspring for the next generation, and it seems that it changes into a pure power or an appearance that attracts the opposite sex easily.
My appearance in this world has changed a lot because my leveling up has raised my status as a human being.
Then it looks like everyone could easily level up, but that's not what I'm saying.
The concept of "experience points" necessary for leveling up is obtained by experiencing it according to its name, and it seems that there will be no change because when someone helps it and raises the level, it does not add significantly to the person's experience.
In that sense, I could have defeated that Bloody Ogre because I had a weapon left behind by the Sage, but even with the aid of a weapon, it was considerably better than me, and since I had already defeated it with my own hands, it would have changed.
However, this may not be the case.
That is the trait of the race.
"Maybe Viola has something to do with this trait too..."
Depending on the race, there may be no visible change in how many levels you level up.
Of course, there is a good reason for that.
If you are a human, you need to be able to hunt well if you think more primitively about how you look to make it easier for you to leave offspring, so those parts change a lot.
But plants look and feel, but they don't have a special smell, they don't have a mechanism, they don't have any appearance, they don't have any power, they don't have any way to leave seeds.
Maybe there is a change in that part.
In fact, everyone in this world is very beautiful, and their bodies are very luxurious.
When the elves leveled up, their appearance didn't change and their magic power increased anyway.
This is because magic is very important for the Elves to keep their race.
Apparently, they would leave their offspring in the same way as humans, but the Elves would also need magic power there.
The Beastman Clan had different changes after leveling up for each race, such as a big change in smell, pheromones, and power.
"Phew... if you think about it, there are many different races in this world..."
This time, I was able to learn the characteristics of each race, but I didn't know what each taboo looked like.
For example, touching the ears and tail of the Beastmen may have some meaning, and such parts will have to be heard from another book or person.
For now, let's do this for today. Let's go home.
"Wahh"
"Fu Gong"
When I stroked the nights that had been waiting quietly next to me, I returned the book to Lena and went home.
