Go down the stairs leading to the basement of the Great Library.

"That's a dark, silly place. It's dusty, too."

"But there seems to be some sign of people in there."

At first glance, it looks like there's no one in or out, but it can detect a slight residue of magic.

"Again... there seems to be something behind this"

We use the magic of the lights to brighten the perimeter, and then we proceed carefully down the stairs.

"Looks like the stairs end here."

Then...... eventually a similar place appeared to the ground of the Great Library.

There's a lot of bookshelves, and it's like a maze there.

"Kurt, do you realize that?

As we progressed, Avril became more alert and asked.

"Oh."

I probed with detective magic... and found a magic formation painted in the back of this.

But there are a number of cover-ups on that, and the whole story is unclear from here.

"In the meantime, do you want to check that magic formation... Kurt? What are you doing?

"I'm just reading a book?

I don't hate reading.

Take one book out of the bookshelf and roll the page all over.

And when I finished reading one book, I repeated that I was moving on to the next...

"Was there any literature that bothered you?

"Mm-hmm. That doesn't say much. But... apparently the big library down here is a little better than what's on the ground."

"Which"

Avril also took a few books and rolled up the page.

The books placed on the ground mainly contained inefficient magic techniques.

The first example of this is' chanting magic '.

But...... most of the books I've got here say about unchanging magic.

Nor was it wrong about the contents.

"Still, it just looks pepper-wrapped... are you sure you're reading it?

"Of course."

That said, you're a little short of time to read everything.

It was better than what was on the ground, but nothing novel to me.

So this world...... I focused on books written about the history of the Empire in particular.

There's only basic, unusual content written there.

But there was only one statement that bothered me.

"A thousand years ago... the Empire was destroyed?

As I read it, Avril said that with her face from the side.

"Apparently you do."

"What do you mean? That's... First time I hear that, huh?

Avril looked confused.

Yes. A thousand years ago, once the empire was destroyed.

Avril seems surprised, but I've known that for 1,000 years.

I hope so...... I got a 'certain description' that hooks me up.

"A thousand years ago, the demon king who plunged the world into unprecedented terror destroyed the empire as well"

What are you talking about?

If this demon king means' heretic = me ', I didn't destroy the empire.

It was the Demon God that destroyed it.

"But it must be remembered that the Fosind family, which was building wealth, is at the centre, rebuilding the empire today..."

The Fosinds again?

Does it mean that even a thousand years ago, the Fosinds existed?

But no matter how many memories I trace, I can't think of a noble name such as the Fosind family for 1,000 years.

... No, it's not.

"I met this guy once (...) and (...) said (...) ah (...) ru (...)?"

"Kurt! Something's wrong with the magic formation in the back! I'm trying to start it!

What I did made me indulge in thought, but Avril's words pull me back.

Sounds like it.

"We're on our way!

"Oh."

We kicked the ground and ran to where the magic team was.

It doesn't matter how much this place is getting into like a maze.

Because with detective magic, detailed maps come to mind.

It would not have been five minutes since I ran out to reach that (...) ko (...).

"Ko, this is...!

Look at the magic formation that emits light, Avril is losing his word.

Around it, magic formations are stampeded with surprise.

Sounds like a detonator.

I calmly analyze it.

"Or it's a pretty big deal! Damn, I don't even know how much catastrophe would happen if I activated this!

and Avril's voice echoed underground.

The end of the magic lead is... um. Is it still there?

"What are you calm about! We have to do something about this soon...!

"Well, wait."

I turned my back,

"Hey, come out. I know you're there."

I called him.

Then you noticed......,

"Kukuk, that's just great. Is it all a prospect?"

From the darkness, one man appeared.

He is dressed like a bizarre clown.

"You painted this magic formation, didn't you?

"Correct"

Niyah and a man caught the corner of his mouth.

"Who are you"

"I don't have a name for you. k (...) l (...) t (...). Avril"

They know about me over there.

I don't know this guy... but shall I call him the Taoist Man?

"You seem a lot calmer, don't you?

"Such a magic formation, it's no big deal. I was expecting a little... disappointed."

"No big deal? Oh, my God, your eyes look like a pit."

and the dove man shrugs his shoulder.

I feel uncomfortable, but let me observe how stupid this guy is going to be from now on.

"Don't you see the artistry of this magic formation! Thirty years for me! It's a magical formation that took thirty years to prepare carefully! I thought you were just like me, but apparently you missaw me!

Well, by this age standard, it would be quite splendid.

It employs complex circuits for nothing, and if it's for the viewer, it could be something worth the surprise.

"Apparently this is a detonator? If this is activated, this whole school building will blow up."

"Exactly! Your loved ones will be lost too! It's all gonna blow up! It's the blooming glory of blood!

"I don't think you're gonna be all right."

"It's still good! It's all for that one. If this artistic magic formation can be activated and can help that one, there will be no more supreme joy!

That one?

"Hehe, do you beg forgiveness? He asked me to stop. Crawl on all fours like a dog in front of me and cry!

"Then you should try to start it"

"... what?

This is how I keep pushing away at the dojo man who says to Joy.

"You should try to activate it," I said. I guess starting this was more of a pleasure than anything?

Then getting in the way on the way would also be a distraction.

Listen to my words, Taoist man distorts his face with anger.

…… That word, it's insulting the art! I won't forgive you! All you have to do is drain your nose miserably and beg forgiveness!

"Don't say a mess. Or are you not sure?

"That word... it's too late to regret it after you die."

The Taoist man offers his hand forward.

"My name is Esaias! Activate and destroy this filthy school building!

I don't think you need chanting, but is that how you're trying to make me feel better?

Daoist Man...... More light from the magic formation by the words of Esaias......

"What's the matter, nothing's gonna happen?

I wondered if the light had dazzled to a certain point, and its brilliance was suddenly lost.

Seeing how it goes, Esaias seeps confusion in his face for the first time.

"Duh, what do you mean!? How come it doesn't start? Once this starts (once), it will blow up school buildings like this..."

"If you don't start it, it will be decided why. By the time I got here... no, because I had no (...) effect (...) during the day in the first place."

"Oh, what the hell did you do......!?

That's right.

At noon, when I was wandering around the school building by the start of joint classes.

I thought there were a lot of disturbing magic formations, and I walked around the school building and deactivated them all.

If you activate the magic formation of this detonator, the magic formation written everywhere in the school building will explode...

So no matter how much this guy tried to activate this magic formation, it was pointless because the tip of the magic conductor was crushed in the first place.

"Ohhhhh! My magic formation... ten years of art!

"Sounds like a mess, but I'll just say this"

This is what I said to Messiah, who was stunned and screamed.

"Your thirty years were pointless."
