Reincarnation Monarch

Lesson 31 False Books

"Hmm! That was so loud and whispering just now!

When Carla finished her long time of thought, she novelled to Gaius and the others again.

"Didn't they teach you guys to talk nonsense? Be quiet!

Gaius and the others moaned again greatly, clasped their mouths gently and became quiet.

Carla was satisfied to see how it was, and when she hummed one nose, she turned again to Carius.

"By the way, why did you summon the devil? Didn't you know the demon summons was a felony?

"... is, yes..."

Karius' fright of Carla was unusual and hard to speak of.

"... I hear why"

Carla prompted a little bit to the mood.

Then Carius sensed the sign, and spoke in advance.

"Well... I don't see any other way... so..."

"... did you really think you could control the devil?

"Yes. Anyone with the lowest demon can control it by offering a personal confession, in that book of magic..."

"... oh. I knew it..."

Carla sighed one loud sigh there.

"... you know, that magic book is a fake book"

"Gi, fake book!?

"Oh yeah. It's a fake book written by a magician who's no better than you."

So Gaius happened to ask Carla.

"Um, what's a magician who's not even Roku?

"I used to be there. It's the devil's guide that he wrote in bad faith."

"Malice...... what does that mean?

"Nothing like this. I wrote 800 lies so that a situation like this would arise. I mean... prank."

"Prank!? I'd call it a prank, but I'm glad you were there earlier, otherwise you don't know how many dead people would have been out there, do you?

"Right. There must have been massive deaths."

Gaius frowned at Carla's words.

"Is it too much?

"So you're telling me he's not even Roku, right?

"There's more to it than that."

"Right. But he was originally a great magician."

Gaius was surprised, and his voice grew louder.

"Great Mage!? Is that the guy?

"Yeah, but then there's all kinds of things. I've become a bastard."

"What's all this about?

"… all sorts of things. And I got in trouble. I should have burned down all the fake books..."

Although Gaius thought the conversation had been made a little bit of a tease, he thought he could answer it from what he had heard, and he continued the conversation without worrying.

"... and yet it remained"

"Oh. If there was one left, there might be others left. If..."

"We need to trace the route back."

"Oh right...... so when, where in Tabe, and how do I get it?

Karla shook her eyes sharply, causing Karius to tremble again.
