Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode One Hundred and Thirty: The Discovery of the Bell!

The time goes back a little.

In the private room of Lord Hannes Clausius when Meir was having a serious conversation with Patty.

The Bell Expedition Struggle (Struggle...?) has been going on.

After all, it must be a lot of books that are suspicious! And with a keen eye for observation, Belle took the book in the room from one end and put it in her hand... After turning over the paraparate,

"Hmm..."

Close it gently and put it back on the bookshelf.

Well, that wasn't impossible either. After all, about half of the books in this room were written in Imperial language, but if I read a page, my head hurt. Furthermore, even though 40% of the books were supposed to be written in imperial language, it was difficult to understand the meaning even if I read them in the first place.

And the remaining 10% was written in a foreign language.

To put it bluntly, there were almost no books that Bell could read...

"After all, no matter which book you move, there seems to be no hidden passage." Hmm, unfortunately..... "

Quit discovering something from the contents of the book early. It was a bell that shifted interest in room tricks. Captain Bell was very judgmental.

"Hey, Belle, this book..."

It was then. Cyril came rushing in with a book in his chest.

"Oh, that's..."

On the cover of the book was a picture of some cute fish. The bell I received gently looked at it... "

"Is this a children's book...?" It's kind of thin, and there's a lot of paintings... If that's the case, I can read it without boredom, not just me... but Cyril and Yana-chan as well. "

... just in case, Bell doesn't really hate books. It's not that I can't read it.

Well, I'm not good at difficult books, and books that aren't entertaining are just... not in my head.

That's why when I turned the picture book over... a piece of paper fell down my throat.

"Huh, what is this...?"

The paper fell to the floor while fluttering and fluttering. For a moment, I thought that the page had fallen off, but when I picked it up, it didn't say anything.

And, oddly enough, there were a lot of little holes there.

"Nh, is that a bug-eating hole...?"

Matthias, who was peering in from behind, leaned his neck with his hand on his chin. but......

"No, I don't think so..."

Belle watched the hole and narrowed her eyes gently. Then, try overlapping it with the edge of the book you had... "

"This looks like there's a place where the hole height is aligned." For example, here, the height of the first hole from the left and the fourth hole are perfectly aligned. In the same way, it seems that the second and the seventh are aligned. "

Saying that, Bell roars, "Mmm, mmm."

"Maybe this was opened by a human hand..." But for what...? "

Isn't that just a prank?

Belle shook her head with conviction as she inclined her head strangely.

"Probably not. We're too aligned for that." Look, it's the perfect height for you... "

Then, Bell, hmm, leaning between her brows, slaps her fingers on her temple.

"If something is written on this paper, it seems that it will make sense by connecting the hole letters..." Or, if it's stacked on the page of a book, the lettering will come up.... "

It was a bell that showed a subtle display of wisdom, but of course, it wasn't her original idea.

All of this is the knowledge gained from Belle's reading of the book "The Twelve Questions of the Poor Prince and the Golden Dragon - The Wise Men of the Meadows" by Ellis Litstein.

It was a story about the protagonist, the prince, solving a mystery that had been unveiled by a mysterious old man called the Sage of the Meadows.

A cryptogram called "The Question from the Sage" was placed all over the story, and along the way, the sage disappeared from the secret room. It was a book with surprising tricks.

Fantasy, it was Ellis who reached out to Mysteri after the romance!

In the meantime, I'm very worried that I will start to try my fantasy science and figure out the mystery of Meer's time-transition.

"Hmm, but they all seem different." Something, I feel like there's a tremendous secret hidden... "This is somehow, but it feels like a treasure map... um, when it comes to it... ah, maybe it comes out when it's exposed to fire regardless of the hole..."

"Ah... um, you should take it to meir-sama..."

Yana, the most commonsense person among them, stops the bell that crushes bad things. When Yana was the most common sense person, the dangers of the Belle Adventure Team almost smelled. It is regrettable that you lack Sturina and Anne.

"If you burn it with fire, it may burn, and you may not be able to solve what you can solve." So, um, I think you should take it with you. ”

Yana's desperate persuasion. The bell I was listening to gently...

"I see. That's true. Meer-san must be able to solve this in no time. Yeah, let's do that."

Pounding his hand, he nodded frankly.

Basically, Bell didn't want to solve the puzzle herself.

Belle wants to be purely surprised when she reads the novel and answers without paying any attention to puzzles or anything else.

Well then, let's go!

The adventure team led by Bell went to Meir and the others with the treasure map (Bell Interpretation).
