Episode 15: Gather the Moon's Light * 6

Then we started reading books.

... after all, there are four translators.I'm drawing it out, and Fay and Mr. Roses are reading a book with my father.

Since there were six books that could not be read, I decided to share them and read them one at a time.

In the meantime... there seems to be something about inventions other than a translator in the diary, but other things are excluded because it is a diary, so the story of the first Mr. Redgard will be the main one.

The remaining five books were "All of the Demon King", "History of the Study of Light", "History of the Kingdom ~ Politics by the Dragon King ~", "Moon Magic List", and "Others Theory ~ Did You Have It From Today! ~" So for now... for now, I decided to read each of the remaining four books by gently laying aside the fact that Fei and the others silently offered me "Others Theory".

What I was to read was "History of Light Research."

Since ancient languages have been translated into modern languages, it seems that the weights have become a little longer, but I can't complain because I can still read unreadable characters.I slowly read "History of Light Research."

... the first page seems to be prefaced.

In this world, since 1333, when the Demon King came from the rift of space, the light has been devoured by the Demon King.

The sky gradually changes to the night sky by the Demon King, and now, with a monthly history of 1580, the night is pushing around the King's capital.

However, as a result of the efforts of the forefathers, it is certain that the speed of the demon king's invasion has been slowed by the development of technology.

This book reviews the history from the arrival of the Demon King to the present day, describes the technology that has been developed in it to recover the light, and discusses the future technological revolution and the possibility of avoiding the destruction of the world.

Read the foreword... I don't know what it means anymore.

I don't know... eh, uh, ah, that?

The Demon King is in the Night Kingdom, and it's coming to this world....?Uh, uh, but is that demon king invading the country at night?

If the king of the night kingdom were a demon king, I thought the night kingdom was coming to invade this day kingdom.

But was the Night Kingdom also in a position to be attacked by the Demon King?If so, why is it that the Devil is sealed in this world?

And there's still something I'm worried about.

... "The sky gradually changes to the night sky by the Demon King".

From that point of view, it is possible that the country of night was not just the country of night from the very beginning.

If you think about it, it may be natural.Because if you don't know, you can't ask for light.I suppose you're trying to get the blue sky back because you know it.

I see. So, the purpose of the Night Kingdom... is to reclaim the blue sky that was taken by the Devil...?

Before proceeding further, I decided to resolve my further concerns.

"Ah, um, can I talk to you for a second?

In a bit of a hurry, I call Faye.Fay was reading the preamble of "All the Demon Kings" at Fay and had a difficult face, but he was called up by me and raised his face.

"How many generations is Mr. Redgard now?

I'm not familiar with the history of this world, so I don't have much sense of age.Since we can only think refined and in light of Japanese history, it is better to know the standards in this world.

"Me? Uh, my dad's in his eighth generation.That's why he's in his ninth generation. "

"How many years since the first generation?

"Hmm... Dad, how long has it been?

"I think it was about 270 years ago... but if you want a detailed number, I'll bring you a history book now."

"Ah, no, it's all right.Thank you very much. "

I see. About 270 years.... in Japan, I think it goes back from the modern era to the treasure calendar.It was in the middle of the Edo period.It's a long time ago.

Um, leave it... if this book belonged to the first Mr. Redgard, it would be at least 270 years old.

As of 270 years ago, the blue sky had already disappeared around King's Land at night.

... the sky I saw in the country at night was almost empty.Just around the trees in the blue sky, the blue sky is just spreading.

From the preamble of this book alone, you can see a lot.

Firstly, after less than 250 years, the Demon King turned the night sky of the country into a night sky, except around King's City.

Over the next 270 years or so, the demon king's invasion progressed even further... now, only around the tree in the blue sky managed to remain in the blue sky.

This is... this is a terrible, terrible thing, isn't it?

Just a little more, really just a little more, and the country of night will completely lose its blue sky!

After that, we proceeded to read the book.It takes some time to read thick books through the translator after dark and late at night.

Still, there was no futile information.

Even the books I read revealed many things. [M]A lot of things were written.

Direct confrontation with the Demon King is not discussed in detail in this book, but the various means devised in history have ended in a series of failures.The Demon King may be immortal or he may not be a creature in the first place.

As an indirect confrontation with the Demon King, it was devised to produce light.Especially in the region where the Demon King was invaded and deprived of light, there was an urgent need to produce light.

Therefore, the development of electric lights using magic (starstone lamps that still remain today) progressed, but at that time, the method of generating starstones as raw materials had not been established, and starstones were limited to natural ones.Natural starstones were so rare and expensive that it was difficult to spread them to poor regions.

As a means of producing light, plants that emit vitality as light were cultivated.Primarily used are starfish fruits and phosphate flower petals, which are still being used in various parts of the country for breeding improvements.

Regarding the moonlight woodlotus native to the northern mountains, research has been actively pursued since it was discovered that the magic of light absorbed from the carcasses of other animals and plants (since the relationship between vitality and the magic of light and the mechanism of its transformation into light is confirmed, henceforth, vitality is referred to as the magic of light) can be concentrated and the flowers can be illuminated.In the future, it is expected that Moonlight Lotus research and breeding improvements will be the means to save us.

... the history of the Night Nation and the fact that the people of the Night Nation worked hard, scratched their feet and tried to produce even a little light in one book.

I knew some of them, and, oh, that's how they were born. They thought that they were born in this kind of oppressive situation...

... Rene's face flickers.

I wonder what Lene thought when she was pushing me toward the pillars of light.

If you had caught me and fed me just a little bit, that might have extended my life in the country at night.

By letting me escape, the life expectancy of the entire country at night will definitely shrink.

And by dawn, we were... somehow, feeling in a different world, knowing too many things overnight, feeling different from ourselves until yesterday, or not being able to remember yesterday's feelings... that's how we felt.

"... in the meantime, I really understand the situation in the country at night."

"Yeah."

I briefly explained the contents of the book I read to the Redgards, and then Faye, Mr. Roses, and my father each told me the contents of the book they read.

If you share the contents, you'll understand the situation in the country at night even more... and be impatient.

If it was sealed, I wouldn't be able to go to the country at night, or see Rene, or anything like that.

Things have been tougher.

"Um... I wonder what happened.Maybe you should read the other two... but, uh, do you want to go back to the woods and talk about it first?Princess Large will be there, and maybe you'll find out something.... "

"Yeah, I want to.As for the diary of the first Red Gard... I think it was written about how to make the altar, so I want you to read it. "

"Then I'll take care of it.My father wrote this other theory, "Was it you from today?"

"Well, now is the time for all kinds of information.Um, I can't help it, I'll read this.... other theories... "

Besides, let's just leave aside the theory for now of making Redgard read in his eighth generation with the right origins.That's not it. I want to hurry now.Hurry, hurry... find a solution.I have to think about something!

"Well, I'll go to the woods later.Hey, I'm gonna go find a book over here.You want a blacksmith book?

"Yeah, I want it. Um, I'll be back first, I'll see you later."

"Oops, I'll see you later!Aniki and Dad asked for diaries and other theories!

Me and Faye are in a hurry to get ready.Faye leaves the room with a stick, and I go out the window and into the forest. [M]

It's an emergency meeting. Emergency meeting.

... because if you don't hurry, the Night Kingdom... will be destroyed by the Demon King!
