The Adventures of Magical Princess Makina

39 Residents of the Forbidden Library

The next day.

Makina and Tet, who took an inn near the Royal Library, visited under Ealis earlier than the opening.

"Good morning, Mr. Ealis!

"Nice to meet you today"

"Morning, both of you. You're here on time."

Follow the instructions communicated the day before and enter through the staff entrance.

Although it is the largest library in the kingdom, not many other officials were seen. It was originally said that it operates with a minimum number of people.

"... but can I free the forbidden library on my own to adventurers like us who don't know who we are...?

Tet raises a natural question. I've never crossed that if my secretary, Elise, would allow me to, but as a tet who always remembers to be vigilant, I didn't want to leave a hint of anxiety material either.

"We're only talking about restricting entry into the forbidden library in the first place because there's a partial mix of magic books that could do harm just by reading them. If I warn you about it, I don't really need to keep it deep in the library. I've been hanging with the kingdom to ease restrictions for a long time."

Ellis says it's sad that a beneficial book is dusty and kept out of sight. If anyone wants a book called Makina and the others, I want them to act as books properly. Apparently not all books in the forbidden library are 'books you shouldn't read'.

Seeing that word and face of Elise, Makina felt that this woman really liked books.

And neither is Tet so twisted as to doubt his sincere kindness. On the back of Elise, who guides me with a smile, I decided to follow her in silence.

"- Ohhhh!

That's when. A shout echoing across the library jumped into the backs of the three of them.

Makina and Tet turned around surprised, but Elise turned to her body with a flamboyant look.

"Oh, you. If you say so, I almost forgot."

To the knight in the armor of the Regular Soldier of the Kingdom of Britannica, Elise rushes over once.

He then removed his lunchbox from his luggage and handed it to the tall, short-haired knight he called 'you'.

"You..."

"Were you married"

"Hi! This is Wallace, Elise's husband! I'm a kingdom knight!... are you sure? It's not even opening time yet, is it? A new employee?

"You two are special users. And you, because you're so loud. Be quiet in the library."

"Hey, I'm sorry. Ha-ha-ha!

Wallace, a knight who laughed luxuriously, seemed nostalgic, not enough to be called 'sturdy', but seemed a strangely inclusive young man.

They said they knew each other at the 'school' in the kingdom and were tied as they were with graduation. And Wallace became a knight whose main task was policing the kingdom, and Elise began working as a clerk in the library.

Then a few years later, he told me that he was still friendly and that this was how he always came to pick up his beloved wife's lunch box before heading to his next job after an early morning vigilance tour (patrol).

"Then I'll work hard for you today! I love you, Ellis!

"So shut up! And embarrassing in public... too.... There you go, you."

Although it is a daily routine every morning, my face seems to turn red while Machina and Tet look at me. Still, Elise gently put her hands on the pavilion owner's chest as she pushed it out, then smiled and acted as a good wife to drop him off.

"... good, oh well...!

"Right......... When I become a knight of Britannica, in my position I am complicated..."

Makina had seen two happy couples' lives up close and inflated her maiden tick imagination, "One day myself," she said.

Tett, on the other hand, although he liked Wallace's first impression, felt he would have crossed swords with him on the battlefield if he was wrong somewhere.

"I'm sorry, both of you. Let's go to the forbidden library now."

And Elise regained the clerk's face from "The Face of My Wife," and led them both to the basement of the library.

A forbidden library only accessible to officials and some adventurers. Makina and the others were guided in front of an old, thick iron door that reminded them of their determination not to bring the general public.

Ellis took out and unlocked the keys with a familiar handle, and with the help of Tet also freed the heavy doors with both openings.

"Watch your step."

Then the three enter the interior of the forbidden library.

This floor, which is not lit with garbage or books, but which is underground and has no windows, is dimly illuminated only by lamps placed dotted on ceilings and bookshelves. Even though it was daytime, it was more like darkness.

"Ottawa ku? Where are you?

Then. Ellis called out beyond the darkness.

Is it a person's name, continuing to call the word 'Ottawa' - from the depths of the forbidden library, the man appeared sleigh and figure of.

"... what is it, Mr. Ealis? It won't be open yet."

Tung, and. A unique odor reached Makina's nose, like a mixture of old books, mold and sweat.

The man was a person in the same librarian's uniform as Elise. I guess he is' Ottawa '. But while he was in robes like the same magician clothes, he was an obese system with a rounded silhouette overall, unlike Ealis.

He has black hair with a big head, flushing his long forehead and hiding his eyes. But there was red acne floating up on the nose and cheeks that could not be hidden, and when compared to Wallace, whom I had just met, I had the appearance that would undoubtedly be certified by my ugly husband (Busyk) and many.

"The two cochlears are Makina and you, Tet. I was doing some digging up there, and I couldn't find it, and I decided to have it done in this forbidden library."

"... adventurer? Rank?"

"Uh, we're both D-runs..."

"Ha!?

I thought he was talking blurry, and when I heard Makina speak, Ottawa made a sudden yell.

Besides, they were all frightened for a moment, but Ottawa was the one who seemed outraged.

"No, you can't. Normally. It's against the rules."

"A little bit better, right? If you're a D-rank adventurer in the first place, you have enough strength to defend yourself, and I don't want to pick people who want knowledge."

"It's the rules, not the choices.... you're going to push me to take care of these two..."

"Ottawa is the most familiar member of the staff with the forbidden library, isn't it? As much as I live here, so you're familiar with which books are dangerous and which ones are okay."

"... well, I know best... Normally, a scribe would know everything."

"Hi, that's right."

Ottawa looked good as soon as he put out the word 'best', although it was in such a disputed form as to allow or not allow entry into the forbidden library.

Not only did Makina and Tet not look bad, but they never had a very good first impression in such a tone or eye tone that they looked down on someone else.

"If something goes wrong, I won't take responsibility."

"Of course. I won't bother you."

Apparently, the story came together. Still, Ottawa looked somewhere dissatisfied, but anyway, Makina and Tett were able to step into the forbidden library.

"Then I'll be back around lunch. I hope you find the information you want."

"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Ealis......!

So the three men but Elise remained in the forbidden library, and the thick iron door was shut with a painful sound.

"... So, where's the magic book?

In a dim forbidden library. Tet immediately asked Ottawa, just to spare a little time.

Even as a makina, I feel off wondering if there is a 'truth' nearby soon.

- But Ottawa turned to Tet with a cold look.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? I'm not a search machine. If you're looking, look for it yourself. The area over there is my living space, and a lot of precious, nasty books, so I'll kill you when I get close."

I feel no threat whatsoever to Tet, who became the Kingsguard knight of Grandell when he was younger, "I'll kill him," etc. in his fat shape.

But it was definitely an uncomfortable response, and Tet stuck a deep wrinkle between his eyebrows for a moment, pointing to a bookshelf just around the corner, not if it was on a guy like him.

"... let's start by searching the cochlear shelves, princess. This is not bigger than the upper hierarchy. I'm going to hit from the other side."

"Yes......! Ok......!

"... chip... What the heck... Just because I'm an adventurer with a woman doesn't mean I'm on track..."

I heard something bad about Ottawa, but Tet ignores it and takes the book.

While Machina was a little worried, she decided to try countless typographic rough waves again to get a clue about 'Gerwes' anyway.

"- Uh-huh..."

Then a few hours. Relying on a magic lamp, he sometimes glows the tip of his magic wand and reads and fishes thick books.

There were also numerous books with extreme magic for torture and curse killings, only from books in the forbidden library and from precious materials that you would not normally see.

But after all, it doesn't contain the information you want anywhere in it. Is it still not easy to find, even in the forbidden library of the King's capital?

Is there really a book with the magic of Gerwes in the first place? What if such magic doesn't exist from the beginning? That information was a mistake.

When that possibility crossed the back of my brain...

"- Princess...!

Rarely, Tet spoke out like an emotional audience. And he comes running over to himself.

Send the gaze you hoped for with your face up to that. There is only one reason, such as why he sounds happy in this situation.

"Was there...!?

"Yes! I haven't read the details yet......!

"Oi, let's go!

I don't know how much information you got on the memorial, but it's against the rules, such as running out loud. Though forbidden, Coco is a library.

Makina apologized to Ottawa, who would be over in the dark, but Tet was leaking bitterness "how oh so high-pressure" with a harsh look on his face.

But most importantly, it's 'Gerwes' now. I opened a worn-out old book that Tet brought to me, about to collapse, and I found the word I was looking for - finally.

"-" Gerwes ". The magic created by Joseph the Great Wizard at the end of his life..."

"A forbidden technique removed from official records as a dangerous magic involving life and death that should crystallize a person's vitality and magic and be applied as a source of energy when solid fuels and magic are depleted…"

It still seemed like a contraindication magic that had not been communicated publicly. Crystallization also coincides with the condition of the inhabitants of the Grande Kingdom and the adventurers who were imprisoned by Poison Frog in the gorge.

However, no further details or cancellation methods were given. Now we can't save the Grandell people. Plus the identity of that black-hood wizard.

"But finally, we've got some powerful information......!

"Yes......! Find other books!

The two men who found the light, with their hopeful faces, cemented their determination to search every corner of the forbidden library.

"- Makina, Mr. Tett. It's time for lunch.... Are you okay?

Then for a while. During the lunch break, Elise visited beneath the Makinas who entered the forbidden library.

When I opened the heavy door, there were two adventurers there reading and fishing for books so that they could be buried in a pile of books. I didn't know how focused I was or how quickly Elise wouldn't react when she spoke.

"Also, is it that time already......!

"Speaking of which, you're hungry..."

"Heh heh, looks like you're making progress with that."

In fact, after finding the word Gerwes in a single book, I had not been able to find traces in any other book. But Machina and Tett's enthusiasm was turning the pages of the book as something realistic, beyond finding that the material was at least real magic.

The two, who were so focused on forgetting their hunger, left the library in a flimsy foothold.

"... are you good, Mr. Ottawa?

"He's good. Because it looks like he's bringing in his own ingredients and eating them. I'd really rather get some sunlight..."

Looks worried, in some frightened tone, Elise glanced behind the forbidden library.

Officially but high-pressure, twisted attitude Ottawa. He's been caged up in this library, doing some research and research all the time, apparently.

"... I honestly don't like the guy with that hand"

"Well, don't say that..."

Tet expressed his attitude that even after he left the library, his mind was not good for Ottawa.

Makina flaunts her proud and serious men as she walks next door to the dining room and still won't be with him for long.

"... ah!

"What's wrong?

"Swimmersen, I left my wand...! Stay ahead of me! I'll get it right away!

I have unconsciously forgotten the magic wand I used instead of lighting in the forbidden library. Though in the peaceful king city, as an adventurer, it is quite a lapse.

Makina quickly returned her heel and returned to the door in front of the forbidden library again. Fortunately, it's not locked. And the precious magic wand was also on the bookshelf near the entrance.

"Good, now..."

As an adventurer, the biggest failure, such as letting go of a weapon. I was excited to find traces of Gerwes, reflecting on myself, and immediately trying to get back to Tet...

……

At that time. There should only be Ottawa, in a dim and quiet forbidden library. From behind the darkness, I heard something.

Like water spills. Like something soft bumps into each other.

- No. I know. And also a slight scent on the nose. I feel hot at the same time I recognize 'it' - the lower abdomen, the horny prints, they hurt.

"... ahhh ♥ ahhh ♥ ooh ♥"

……

There.

Shaking a long blue ponytail, Elise, the secretary, had his hands on the bookshelf, hitting Ottawa and hips in a standing back position.
