Episode 236: Guide to the Great Library
"Ah, it's almost gone."
With such a carefree dialogue in his mouth, Nero Julius Ellord, the leader of the rank five party Wing Road, became Avalon's first prince, was walking on school grounds.
The Royal Seminary of Sparda is proud to be on the way, no, it is not an exaggeration to say that the country called Sparda is proud, a library with a long history and a wealth of fingerprints in various countries.
(i) Although it is positioned as a school library, everyone respectfully calls it the Great Library.
"Damn it, Safi's guy, he said to do it alone as much as looking for materials..."
The reason Nero is on his way to the big library for such righteousness is because one of the party members, Saphir Marya Hydra, asked me to help him.
This kind of plain work is for my serious sister, but Nell is attending class with Charlotte, so I can't move around this time freely.
Of course, Kai, who has no brain but to wave his sword, is out of battle.
What I could ask for as a result was for the bowl to come around to a brainy nero, except in terms of annoyance, naturally.
"Whatever, you're free anyway. I'm enjoying my free time over here."
People call Sole free, but Nero seems too young to understand that.
Either way, Nero, who is going to help Safi while complaining, must have felt bored at the bottom of his mind.
You're supposed to want a peaceful routine, but somewhere in your mind, a disobedient emotion that avoids boredom annoys him by becoming a small worry, as you occasionally recall.
Though I don't seem to feel that sentimental right now.
"Ha, the task of excavating books from this stupid big toko that could be anywhere,"
It's depressing, what a grunt, Nero blurted out at the huge big library standing in front of him.
The exterior of the Great Library, built with traditional Sparda architectural techniques, is still like a temple.
We crossed a corridor lined with cylinders of bright white enthusiasm and reached the front entrance with large double-open doors, at which time,
"Mmm, that girl..."
Nero's red eyes caught a familiar figure somewhere.
From the direction opposite to myself, it is one girl who comes towards this main entrance.
Though wearing a woman's uniform is the usual outfit in this seminary, the windy, pale watery short hair and the sun-like golden eyes that still shine in heaven are somewhere surrounded by mysterious charm.
Nero clearly looked familiar to that girl with a white beauty as neat as a doll.
Hey, you were a student here.
Nero spoke to the girl as she bared beside herself and put her hands on the door.
"... who is it?
A dialogue asking who and what jumped out of the girl's mouth, but I'm still convinced that Nero, who once again looked directly at her face turned this way, wasn't out of line.
Just about a week ago, in front of the square, he said he was the girl who was called out by a pair of executive candidate numbers-and helped him where he was in danger.
"No, you didn't name me then, I thought you knew -"
It's also surprising that some people don't know their names in Sparda, but what's more surprising is that they couldn't remember their faces despite saving pinches in good time.
Never before has Nero helped such a woman's predicament, but since then, she has only remembered being enthusiastic and pioneering.
I haven't even named it, but I've even been pushed to the Royal Castle of Avalon by being pinpointed for my identity.
"Maybe you really don't remember?
"Yes."
The eyes of a girl who has said so are not pleasing to be heard by a nice man, but an atmosphere in which the suspicious are told to be vigilant.
If he did poorly, he could be beaten with her short cane (Wand) like that Napa aristocrat, and Nero decided to choose his words a little carefully.
"A week ago, you were numbered in the square by two of our students, weren't you?
If the event itself is on the other side of oblivion, how can Nero be forced to back off?
But...
"Ah."
pulsating, apparently Pandora's black gods smiled at Nero.
"Remember?
"Is that the one crack I've been numbing then"
"No, it's not that way!
I thought you smiled, it seemed like a gods prank.
The girl's response was to go diagonally up the anticipation, it is truly out-of-heart not to be made with the numb bastard.
"Remember, I came in to help you where you beat me with your cane and rubbed the bastards together, didn't I?
"Yeah, speaking of which, there's a third numb man..."
"No, so you're telling me I'm in for help, not a numb, because I broke in between, and those two pulled back light, okay?
"Huh."
Nero, a girl with an unconvincing face, sighed heavily inside.
I can't imagine you remembering, and I can't expect you to be properly remembered so far.
"But it's still funny. You, what's your name?
"I'm not as good as a name."
More and more funny, Nero laughs unexpectedly at the girl returning a blurry response.
Think of it, it's the first time I've ever had a conversation with a heterosexual of my age to be so unscrupulous.
Nero's status, appearance, strength, boasts a high status that no one else can leave alone, no one can ignore him for better or worse, at least until this time.
That's why Nero got a little interested in this attitudinal girl of heartless indifference.
"Sorry, it's polite to say it from yourself when you name it, I'm Nero, Nero Julius Ellord"
"... it's Fiona Soleil"
Yes, the girl named her.
Apparently, even if he is indifferent, he is not impolite, Nero clearly likes the response.
Finally, despite the fact that she even deliberately named herself after her family name, that is, clearly showed herself to be the royal family of Avalon, it still seems more and more preferable for the girl to be piercing a faceless expression that does not change one complexion.
"So, Fiona, what can I do for you in this big library? If you have something to look for, I can help you, okay?
Even if it's the same help, it's more worthwhile to work for you than to be used by Safi to help this new-found Fiona.
I honestly don't think I would have offered from her unsolicited reaction, but I didn't want to hear it there.
"One thing I want to ask you"
But unexpectedly, Fiona came up with some aggressive words.
"What?
With the temper to answer anything but Avalon's state secrets, Nero stared straight into Fiona's eyes.
I still don't see any emotional swings in my golden eyes staring back, rather, I even feel like I'm seeing through this side.
"There should be a compartment in this library with a forbidden book sealed. Do you know where it is?
Nero didn't express himself in his expression, but he was heartily stunned.
However, this everywhere faceless girl sometimes had a feeling of certainty that she was going to say something absurd in a cheerful face.
Students are not required to enter places where dangerous books are sealed in any sense that are otherwise prohibited from viewing or viewing books, and are also publicly prohibited from entering them.
In the first place, information about the depths of large libraries, such as sealed compartments of forbidden books, cannot be held by a single student.
How Fiona is doing, even though she remains emotionally unreadable, but even so, she doesn't seem to expect an answer to this question.
Because of that, the content of the question did not seem to be just of interest in itself.
You're right to say "I don't know" here, and you probably shouldn't have told me, even if you knew.
But Nero flipped the red cape, a testament to the executive candidate, and put his hand on the door of the Great Library, saying it with dignity.
"Fine, I'll show you around, follow me"
By the time the noon bell rang, Nero's ‘back’ library guide was unharmed and the two returned to the entrance.
- Are you satisfied, lady?
"Yeah, that was helpful, thank you"
Nero has circled the depths of the Great Library, where student access is forbidden, using skillful signs perception to avoid people.
I didn't get inside the sealed compartment, but I guided him to the front of the door, and Fiona's question was about wanting me to tell you where, so I'd say it served me well enough.
Besides, if we're going to step inside, Nero has to be quite ready for the boulder.
It is not a wax sealed with a forbidden book designation on Dada, but a dozen dozen dozen lines of connections that detect or inhibit intruders.
Luckily, the patrol of the guards is not so much that it is not impossible to break in without anyone noticing.
However, in order to do so, it requires considerable magic strength on its own to use it for disarming magic devices (magic items).
Those who can do that in students will be limited to a few powerful seminarians, including Nero, at least it is impossible to break in no matter how they fall into Fiona on a level that loves the beginner's short wand (Wand).
"To tell you the truth, don't even think about breaking in there, if you're just gonna get caught, it's not gonna hurt if you get into a shitty type of junction."
But I thought you might want to stab the nail.
"Huh? Yes, that's right, I don't think we should go in."
I feel faintly that the advice might come to an end in vain, but now there was nothing more I could say.
Well, that's when the problem happens, and I make a positive, throwing conclusion that I should do something about it.
"By the way, it's noon, but do you want to go to school? Luxury?"
"No, thank you."
It was also the first time for Nero that Fiona refused to invite me to dinner, which she thought was an instant answer.
A mild surprise rather than a shock, and then again, I realize that this girl named Fiona, unlike other girls students, has absolutely nothing to flatter me, and I feel rather happy about it.
"Well, that's a shame."
"Okay, I'm in this"
In so doing, Fiona just left the Great Library behind in a grand walk that made her feel no remorse at all.
Nero faintly dropped off a bitter laugh at Fiona's back, which didn't break her thoroughly cool attitude, nowhere.
"You've been brilliantly flirted."
And a voice was abruptly heard from behind.
"Safi."
Looking back, there stands Saphir, who was the original promiser, glowing his glasses.
"I've never seen you get sleeved by a woman."
"Maybe so."
Pointed out the facts, Nero laughed unexpectedly.
"But you were a nice woman, weren't you?
"I don't know."
I continued to wonder about Safi's reaction to the lack of interest.
"So, though I ask if there's any explanation for you breaking your promise to me and playing around with other women?
"... ah"
Nero's reaction like I just noticed, what I forgot, is more than Safi's help, what horrible things would happen if I upset her.
"See, that's me"
"What?
"Fiona seemed more interesting."
I couldn't even come up with an excuse to be particularly good, so I tried to confess honestly for now.
"Yes, I know exactly what you're saying."
Safi smiling that way slowly puts his hands on his glasses.
glasses, serving to seal the ‘power’ that dwelt in the creepy, shining purple eyes,
"'Demon Eye' Liberation"
Removed.
"Sorry -!!
Regretting to delude himself a little better next time, Nero exclaimed words of apology to Safi.
