174 – Reuniting with Her
The librarian said only one word.
‘Dimension wanderer.’
I was surprised for several reasons.
Of course, the words she put into her mouth, dimensional ghost…
“You even come out of the information desk?”
This is the first time I have seen her outside.
I thought I lived in a library.
Later, I thought of him as an NPC.
“Because I sat there every day, I often wondered if I had to go to the bathroom.”
“… Pervert.”
The librarian muttered coldly.
Although it looks expressionless at first glance, the tips of the eyebrows are slightly curved.
That expression probably shows contempt.
We have collected new facial expressions for the librarian.
Today is your lucky day.
Besides.
“You even spoke to me first.”
“……”
“It is an honor.”
“… That’s not important.”
The librarian shook her head.
The expression has definitely become richer.
In the past, when I shook my head, I would tilt my head about 1mm, but now I shake my head about 1cm from side to side.
This is a huge step forward.
In the future, won’t the librarian be able to make flashy reactions like Elena?
I’m looking forward to that time… No. This isn’t important.
I was nervous about this and that, but the thing I was most curious about as a librarian was this.
“Do you know about dimension wanderers?”
In response to my question, she still looked up at me with an expressionless expression.
However, her eyes are somehow serious.
Even more than usual.
“……”
Her pale pink lips did not open.
Instead, her head nodded.
Subtly, but definitely, considering she is who she is.
She knows the wanderer.
Various thoughts occupy my head.
How do you know?
Have you read all the books in the library?
And.
… Can I trust this child?
I know I’m being overly cautious.
However, in this topic, it has to be that way.
Because it is a setting that was not expected in the story.
Above all, because I am directly involved.
However, it is also a problem that cannot be solved no matter how much we think about it.
Then, there are certain things I can ask the librarian.
“Do you know any books?”
There is no way to deviate from this in our questions and answers.
Always in the library.
In the limited space of the information desk.
Ask about books and get recommendations.
I think in her mind, I was defining her that way.
Is that why?
“……”
Square, square.
The reason why she seemed unusual as she wrote something with her pen on her note was probably because this was not the information desk, but in front of her bookshelf.
An average height of about my shoulder height. The impression is inanimate rather than cold. Efficient yet classy movement.
Just as her curiosity about herself began to dawn, the librarian handed her a note.
“Thank you.”
She handed it to me, nodded her head slightly, then turned around and walked away.
She is still cool.
“… Hmm?”
When I looked down and checked the note, I was slightly embarrassed.
[ 36.3277 N, 127.4273 E ]
Was there such a classification system?
There are several more numbers.
What is the alphabet behind?
It is an unfamiliar classification system.
I first looked back at the side of the bookshelf.
“I don’t think there is one.”
What?
Did the librarian make a mistake?
I stuck my head out into the aisle and looked at the information desk.
The place where she should have been was empty.
“… What is it?”
I looked at the note for a while.
There was nothing written other than those numbers.

“The atmosphere in Holy Constantine is unusual. It looks like a rebellion will break out.”
Holy Constantine is a country ruled by the Pope of the Deus religion, located in the southern part of the continent.
The national power itself is slightly less than that of the Britannia Empire.
Considering the influence of the Deus Church on the continent, it is a country that is in balance with the empire.
It is a serious story that is not easily heard that a rebellion is likely to occur in that country.
Lunch time.
The person who had such a serious talk was Elena, who was eating tomato salad like feed.
I reflexively placed my hand on her broad forehead.
“Hmm. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden, brother!”
From Noble mtl dot com
“I was wondering if you wanted to talk about something serious.”
“No! I’m always serious!”
“……”
“What is it? Yum yum. That shocked expression!”
“Oh, sorry. I don’t really trust you.”
Even if you say that while munching on cherry tomatoes.
After huffing and puffing for a moment, Elena drew a circle in her notebook.
“Did you know that the core of Holy Constantine is the Holy See?”
“To be precise, it is the Pope. Because we serve the Pope, who is the representative of the Absolute.”
“… That’s right. Why do you know so well?”
“This is it.”
Elena widened her eyes for a moment and continued her words.
“Anyway, there are two sects in the Deus Church. The Celeste Church, which approves of the existence of her saint. The Numina Church, which treats her saint like us as just a special priest.”
Although there are many details that differ from her doctrine, Elena’s definition was certainly accurate and simple.
Elena drew a peninsula-shaped domain of Holy Constantine in her notebook and then cut it horizontally.
“Northern Constantine is the territory of the Celeste Church. Southern Constantine is the territory of the Numina Church. The two are no different from enemies. They are just bound together under the name of the Pope.”
And the circle in the middle is the Holy See.
— Squeak!
Elena even divided the Holy See with a pen.
It was an unstoppable touch.
“Even that will break now. Even the Vatican is starting to crack.”
“Crack?”
“Yes. Movement has begun in Southern Constantine.”
What she means is clear.
The beginning of the full-scale conflict between Holy Constantine.
This is the same as the episode of Panta
“Southern Constantine is suspicious of the saint as it follows the doctrines of our Numina sect.”
Elena drew a doodle of a saint in her notebook.
She then drew a rough horizontal line around the neck of the scribble.
“The interrogation of the saint will begin. The targets will be the saint candidate and those around her.”
Aria’s bodyguard, the visit to Liechten by the Inquisitor Dave mentioned.
It was the moment when the purpose became clear.
“Of course, as it is a struggle for political power, it will not amount to a heresy interrogation, but in any case, the fact that the candidates for sainthood are being investigated will have a clear impact on the image of saints.”
“I guess so.”
“Yes. I thought you would be curious. I heard about it from the branch leader of our branch.”
If you are the head of the Academy Numina branch, he will be the male senior you met in that tent. He seems to be a surprisingly sharp person.
This is very great information.
“Thank you, Elena.”
I stroked her head.
Elena enjoys the touch with her eyes closed, as if satisfied.
I guess I’ll have to buy some more tomatoes when I go to the market later.
“Oh and!”
Elena jumped up from her seat and started rummaging through her drawers.
She comes straight away with a note of her own.
“This came this morning, but I forgot to deliver it.”
I looked at the note she handed me.
[Call]
Cadet Ian will visit room 301 of the Ether Level Laboratory by 13:00 today.
I looked at the clock. It’s 12:50.
I immediately looked down at Elena.
“hehehe.”
… What is hehehehe?
I was wrong in thinking that you were serious today.
— Took
I left the club room after giving a light blow to my broad forehead.
Surprisingly, I arrived at the Ether Class building in 15 minutes on foot.
‘It means that you made a good decision about the location.’
This is the level near the subway station.
With such foolish thoughts in mind, I entered the building.
“It’s definitely creepy.”
Unlike other general undergraduate buildings, the Ether Class building had a distinctly luxurious feel.
Marble floors and walls. Luxurious decorations everywhere. All the comfortable chairs are made of leather. All my tuition money was rotting away here.
[ 3Rd floor ]
The engineering elevator also moves smoothly.
“Room 301…”
Who on earth called me?
I had no contact with the professors of Aether.
There is no one in particular to focus on.
As I was looking for the room, an unexpected face caught my eye.
Why is the person in charge of Mejai Class here?
“Professor Violet…?”
“Student Ian.”
— Ttogak ttogak.
“Why here… Ugh.”
She approached me and suddenly hugged me.
A soft, fluffy feeling that fills your face.
The smell of mature skin also irritated her nose.
“Now… Sleep… Sleep.”
I try to open my mouth, but the flesh is so soft that it’s useless.
She murmured as she hugged me.
“I’m so sad that my precious student is leaving.”
“Now, just a moment.”
I really think I’m leaving.
… It’s suffocating.
When I started to worry about whether it was really a good thing to die like this. Violet let go of her arms that were hugging her.
“You can come to the lab any time. I can help you with anything, Ian.”
After saying that, Violet coolly left without listening to my answer.
… It might be a little cool.
With those thoughts, I turned to face forward.
[301]
Beyond this large door, there will be a professor who called me.
Who is it?
I think this would be equivalent to being the head of a department.
— Knock.
“This is Ian Black Angus.”
The door opened by itself.
It was an old-fashioned wooden door, and when the door was opened, elegant and classy wooden furniture once again welcomed guests comfortably.
Full of the scent of trees.
Beyond that, rays of sunlight were falling.
And there was a woman standing.
It feels familiar, as if I saw it yesterday,
That’s why it’s an even more welcoming face.
“… Master?”
Asilia’s lips rose elegantly.
i forgot to read the title chapter…..
