Shinigami ni Sodaterareta Shoujo wa Shikkoku no Ken wo Mune ni Idaku
Act 72 - The Royal Library
The ancient days when Odd was once commonly recognized.
Because of the high purity of Odd in the body and the deep pitch-black eyes everywhere, there existed a minority known as the "Abyss (Shinbi and Shinbi)".
Inhumans who at the time led a large convoy from another continent. The true king, who was dawning in war with those who named him the Dragon Tooth Man, looked to the Abyss, who possessed unmatched physical abilities, in order to unlock the blocked situation.
"In the dawn of the victory of this war, we promise to prosper."
The Abyss, who believed in the word of the True King, each took his sword, and took his spear, and slew, and slew, and slew, and slew, the Dragontooth men.
─ ─ Then a few years later.
There was also a remarkable activity of the Abyss, and the Dragontooth retreated one after the other. An end was struck to the long-lasting war, and peace finally came to the continent. The Abyssals, who lost many of their companions, also gave thought to the glorious future to come and rejoiced in joining hands with each other.
But the king failed to keep his word.
"The Abyss crept into the royal castle and tried to make the king a deceased"
The king secretly invites one abyss man into the royal castle, sees the gap and kills him. It was tailored to the perpetrator of the King's assassination attempt. In the end, the Abyss, who showed too much power, caused the king to doubt that he would soon take the throne.
Thus the heroes who saved the continent are denigrated overnight by traitors.
Furthermore, the king is the only assassination group with experience of fighting each other with the Abyss. "Asura" was invited, and he led a great army to besiege the village of the Abyss. Though each of them is an abyssal man of breaking strength, they are less than a hundred peoples.
One, one, falls down again to a corrugated attack that can continue day and night.
And when the sun rose for the seventh time since the beginning of the battle...
"─ What happened when I went up?
Urge the owner of the tavern to continue the conversation as he pours more liquor into the empty glass. After a bitter laugh, the silver-haired man stirred up the poured liquor all at once.
"Whoa. That's a pretty good reaction. At first, you asked me if I was interested."
"Don't worry about the details. You know, your story is kind of weirdly truly imminent, or convincing. So, in the end, all the Abyss were killed?
"... oh, brilliantly wiped out"
A silver-haired man groans somewhere lonely whining an empty glass.
"What the hell. I don't know. It's the flavor of the story that makes someone survive and avenge the king."
"I'm sorry. Don't live up to your expectations."
When the silver-haired man clasped his shoulder, he threw several copper coins removed from his nose onto the table.
"What the hell. You're leaving already? Let me know if there's anything else interesting I can tell you because I need a drink. Talking like this is going to be a good story to bring in customers."
"Bad. They're picking me up."
The silver-haired man shifts his gaze to the entrance. Then when were you there? A woman with a baby who would not be long after her birth stood on the wall leading to the door.
"You, it's time..."
When a woman speaks reluctantly, the silver-haired man nods.
"Oh, I'm going now"
That's what I said and pulled the silver-haired man in haste to get up from the chair.
"Whoa. Where are we taking the baby this late at night? Don't say anything bad, then stay in our inn. I'll keep it cheap."
He grabbed the key hanging from the back wall and offered it forcefully, but the silver-haired man waved gently and refused.
"I appreciate the favor, but I don't think so."
"Why not? - Excuse me, is there anything I can do?
…………
"No, I'm sorry to pry. If you're leaving the city, watch out with the bandits. It's getting warmer lately, or they're attacking travelers day and night."
"─ Thank you"
The silver-haired man smiled slightly, leaving the store gently holding the woman's shoulder. As I was cleaning out the glass left behind with the potpounds on the table, the face of the woman I saw earlier came to my mind.
"Speaking of which, that woman, you've seen it. She had pitch-black eyes... haha"
The master's grunt sank into the hustle and bustle.

─ ─ Wangdu Phys Central District
The central district is lined with numerous aristocratic mansions, mainly Leticia Castle. A bell rang announcing lunch from the Tower of the King's Capital, the symbol of the Tabernacle, and many nobles crossed over the cobblestones laid neatly. Among them, the young men's nobles stopped pitifully and fell in love when they noticed two women looking up at the Royal Library.
"You're kind of more lame than I imagined."
Across the main street. Leaks like Olivia dismayed as she looks at the Royal Library organized in white stone.
"Major, tell me there's some fun there. Because this Royal Library is the history of the kingdom of Farnest itself. Besides, this has also been renovated over the past few times. By the way, the last time the renovation was carried out was in the history of light and shadow."
"That's enough. Hey, let's go."
Claudia just shows off her knowledge here, but it doesn't seem to matter to Olivia. Guiguy and I were pulled and taken to the stuffing set up next to the entrance.
"Hey, can I come inside?
Olivia speaks to the staff as she makes a special appearance of the knight's collar stamp shining on her collar.
"Have you completed the admission process?
"Yeah. I think we're done here."
"─ Is it true?
A man who felt something like a civilian asked as he quickened up his glasses. I get the feeling that I'm looking lightly somewhere because Olivia is young. As Claudia spoke Ninehardt's name turned, the man rose to tumble off the chair.
"Thank you very much for your patience! I have already heard from His Excellency Brigadier General Ninehardt. Please proceed inside."
The man responds with the utmost respect while giving instructions to his men to open the door. I'm sure this is what palm return means. Claudia walked behind the door with her grumpy Olivia as she shrugged.
"Wow! There are so many books -!
Olivia looks around with excitement as she smiles like a girl of her age.
Unlike the exterior, the interior was a two-story blowout specification utilizing wood material intact, full of openness. On the left and right side of the aisle running in the middle, there are multiple lines of huge bookshelves installed at equal intervals.
Also, paintings and statues placed to an unpleasant degree were responsible for enhancing the product. The penetration of the aisle was provided with a circular counter, and several officials seemed to be following suit from the guests.
"Exactly when you have all these books, you have a hard time finding them. Why don't you talk to the staff first?
Olivia nods without a word or two to Claudia's suggestion. Anticipating where he was handcuffed, he called out to one female employee.
"I need to tell you something."
"Oh? You're beautiful again for a long time. So, what happened?
The woman named Clares quickly raises her red bling glasses. Slightly left on the cheeks, it strikes me as the forehead is nicely cut together.
"Actually, I want to know why this aristocracy has been cut off."
With that said, I give you an inventory of family names.
"The Valedstorm family. Hmm. Are you a nobleman cut off over a hundred years ago...... ugh! Big sickle in dokuro. This is another creepy crest for a long time... uh, sure, this catalogue of family names doesn't say why it's disconnected."
Clares squeaks like a solitaire as she quick-its up her glasses. Claudia thought as she watched the trick. I wonder if it is customary for all staff working in the library to raise their glasses.
"─ So, what do you think?
"─ Hmm? I don't care what they say. The only thing I can say is not just a missing description, but something deliberately lay low. And you mean."
Clares closes the catalogue of family names with patarity, saying without incident.
"I was deliberately laid down..."
"Hide what is not convenient for the powerful of time. Or tamper with it. Well, it happens a lot. However, only disconnection reasons seem to be obliterated in relation to this, so it doesn't seem that important."
"Hey, what can I do to find out about that?
Clares screamed a small scream as Olivia turned from the side.
"There's another horribly beautiful one out there... that's right... there's something wrong with this crest first. Normally, you shouldn't use a pattern that reminds you of death. 'Cause you do, don't you? That's very bad luck, isn't it? If the house crumbles because of the drawings, it won't go out of style. Oh, but the Valedstorm family seems to have crumbled. Still, I find the use of this crest a source of interest."
"... hey Claudia"
Olivia has a rare, bewildered look on her face as she pulls Claudia's sleeve. I'm sure you don't think it makes sense.
"Cohon-- so, you know in the end, or don't you?
"─ Hmm? I can't say anything without looking into that. However, there are about 40,000 books in total held here. Though somewhat distinguished, what amateurs look into is a broken bone."
When he heard of forty thousand books, Claudia learned a mild dizziness.
"I'm sorry, but we only have five days to stay in the King's Capital. Wouldn't you be able to handle that?
"Just five days? I'll say a lot more unscrupulous...... but, well, that's good. I'll help you find it because I'm interested too."
"That's a very grateful offer... are you sure?
Shifting his gaze to the side, several officials stare at Clares as if he had been stunned. You're aware of that gaze or not, Clares said in an open-minded tone.
"It doesn't matter. Because this is part of the job. But even if you let me in, the three of us. I wish there was at least one more."
"Another one..."
In Claudia's head, one unreliable young man came to mind.
