Shake the Carrot if You Are Caught by the Devil chapter 131

131 - The one who wants to go back

131 – The one who wants to go back

Two hours passed.

More than 20 books were found through the search keyword alone.

It was an overwhelming amount compared to the libraries of the outside world, which were at most one or two books, and usually did not exist at all.

-Tup

I closed the thick book I was reading. Again, there was nothing useful about it.

“Is that a bad thing too?”

“Uh.”

Traces of attempts at metastasis, research materials of wizards who have devoted their entire lives to teleportation magic, and visitors from other worlds.

‘… It’s not too different from what I researched alone before.’

“… There is nothing special about this either. It’s not much different from ‘everything about dimension shifting magic’ that Yuria saved.”

“Dorothy. Thanks for helping me find it, but you read what you see too. This is not a place that even you can come to.”

“I was going to do that, but Dong-ha returned it earlier.”

“Ah… You mean that dirty book? Read it because it’s okay I have nothing to do with how your life is ruined.”

“You are too much! Why do you say such things in such an indifferent manner!”

-Tup

The demon king sitting on the other side also diligently helped. He read the book and asked me to show him if he found a part with the words I said.

I started to open the book I had brought when I was told that I could play when it was over quickly. I just read the eleventh volume.

-Charak, charak, charrak

‘What reading speed…’

To read a book that is thick and has a lot of text that quickly? I wondered if he was just reading the pictures, so he turned to any page and asked.

“When creating cracks in space, what is the effective element ratio?”

“Light 6 Water 3 Fire 1, it is written that the magic of the light element must be passed between water and fire”

Exactly. This is the content of the 226P that is being opened now.

“That book is a liar. Actually, it’s more efficient to turn the water and fire round and round, then push it all the way through the 6 light elements and mash them like potato salad.”

… I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s the feedback from her tearing up space every day, so it’s probably right.

Perhaps because he has a good brain, his ability to process information is also excellent. Thanks to her, her large volume of books dwindles rapidly.

“Coo, coo.”

Yes, you are sleeping coo.

She read through the book, and at one point fell asleep next to her.

It’s making a nose sound through training. It’s really unrealistic snoring.

-Wriggling

-Glance

“… What are you up to?”

“…”

The demon king who sleeps on his desk. He turns his head towards me and closes his eyes.

To be exact, he was looking at me with his narrow eyes open.

If they make eye contact, they close their eyes again and pretend to be asleep. It’s awkward.

… Why are you pretending to sleep again?

“… Mr. Dong-ha. How about taking a break? I must be tired.”

Dorothy asked me as I glared at the demon king who felt his gaze and felt uncomfortable.

“I don’t have time to rest.”

“Don’t do that, just go for 5 minutes. Anyway, there is still plenty of time. I’ll also buy the devil’s drill cream hot chocolate.”

“…!”

The demon king whose eyelashes wriggle. I don’t know what cause they pretend to sleep, but I know it’s less important than creamy hot chocolate.

‘… Cute.’

The cuteness has exceeded the lethal dose. I’m going to have to tinker with it a bit.

“It looks like the devil is sleeping, so let’s just buy ours.”

“… Um, uh… How long have I slept?”

At the words of her leaving, she staggered and opened her eyes.

‘… Put on a show.’

As expected, excellent acting. He rubs his sleepy eyes and pretends to wipe the saliva from his mouth. I didn’t forget to turn on the stretch.

“Why were you pretending to be asleep?”

“… Don’t you know? I… pretend to sleep.”

… Fool me only once.

Even though there are so many books, only Written by me is in her place.

-Chellarak

The wind blowing from outside the window turned the pages. The part where a boy strokes her hair when a girl falls asleep at her desk.

*

I looked for it until the sun went down.

I couldn’t find anything more detailed than this.

The eyeballs that have been rolled non-stop are complaining of fatigue.

As the closing time approaches, impatience rises.

The amount of information was certainly vast compared to the outside world. Surprisingly, there have been several books written about the Earth.

Nevertheless, there was no direct information about the means of dimension movement to Earth in any book.

Then a book caught my eye.

While indiscriminately entering various keywords in Archie, I glanced at them. This is a book with no information about the author.

It feels intuitive.

The blue star here is the earth.

Did I finally find it? Embracing her fluttering heart, he traces the whereabouts of her book.

However, it was currently being rented. I borrowed it 12 years ago and still haven’t returned it.

No.

As if possessed by something, I approached the old gray-haired librarian. I asked the demon king not to run inside, but before I knew it, my footsteps got louder.

When I returned to the desk, I saw the white-haired old man reading a book with magnifying glasses.

“Excuse me. Could you find out the information of the member who borrowed this book?”

“Sorry. Member. I cannot tell you the identity of the other members.”

He politely declined.

I hate breaking rules and policies and harming others, but I couldn’t back down easily this time.

“Please. Since the book has been missing for 12 years, I would like to know the name of the lender. It’s really important to me. It is also the reason I came here.”

He was desperate for me to the extent that he even gave detailed personal history to strangers he had never seen before.

‘If you know the name, ask Dorothy’s, I can try several times.’

I needed hope in some form.

And even here in Urupu, not being able to find a clue to return…

It means that one of the two means of returning I know will be erased from the options.

Even if I die, I won’t be able to choose the remaining one.

“… I see. Those who do not return for a long time also have a responsibility. Could you please wait…? It is an old record.”

“Thank you.”

I bowed my head to the old man and he entered the room at the back. He waited about 10 minutes and he came out again. Standing, revealing his sad face.

“Sorry. There are no records left…”

“……Is that so?”

His chest was choking. I struggled to get a helium balloon hanging from a tree, but it feels like it flew up into the sky right before his fingertips touched it.

“… Just. The strange thing is…”

“… Huh?”

The old man put his hand under his chin and gave him a look lost in his thoughts.

“Except for , The surrounding records are intact… Only this book is blank.”

… That means

It becomes a story that someone artificially erased the traces.

“…And. One more thing, I have a question.”

The old man continued.

“I’m old, but I have a pretty good memory. I was evaluated as the best in this town and was able to work as a librarian like this. I still have vague memories of the book I lent 30 years ago, let alone 12 years… And yet…”

“…”

“It’s strange that I don’t remember anything about the title of such an unusual book… 12 Years ago. I am hearing the title of this book for the first time. If the guest hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t even have known it existed.”

“… I see. Anyway, thank you so much for your help.”

“… I don’t know what it is, but I hope you find what you’ve been looking for since morning.”

I bowed my head and thanked him.

-Turbuck, turbuck

If.

It’s not that I don’t have memories.

Maybe I erased my memory?

Maybe.

-Wack

I saw the Demon King. Earlier, I said I would go to the corner where the dragon picture was drawn to find the dinosaur picture book.

-Turbuck, turbuck

“Have you been here before…”

-Wack

Hide the book she was looking at her under her clothes.

“What?.”

“…Have you ever been here?”

“No. It’s my first time.”

I’m not lying.

“Then, do you know the book ?”

“… No? I don’t know.”

This too.

Yes, she was here…

What kind of stupid idea are you thinking… I am.

“…But what book were you reading?”

“… No, I don’t want to talk.”

‘Ah.’

She went to the bookshelf where the picture of the dragon had been before. There, she might have found a book written about demons.

The books written about the demons are written according to human standards, and the dominant description is that the demons are tyrannical, cruel, and deserving of being killed. The ignorant public buys books when they write like that. The hatred towards demons in this world can now be called marketing. That’s why the Nine Party went so well.

It must be that he came to know the world’s gaze toward himself.

She fears that her own sorrow might be transmitted to me, she is trying to hide it.

‘…’

She smiled at the demon king as if it was no big deal.

“Forget those books. Because it has nothing to do with you.”

“… What? What do you mean by that?”

“You’re not that kind of demon, and you don’t have the courage to do that. Ignore it.”

“….. I don’t have the courage… Hey… Are you sure about that?”

“Uh.”

Then the enraged demon king suddenly put his index finger in his mouth and sucked it seductively. With his opposite hand, he lifted the ponytail and showed me a pure white neckline.

– Took.

Then the book she hid under her clothes falls to the floor. It was a book about the Black Mamba summoned by Dorothy earlier.

“Let’s move on to Chapter 2.”

“Don’t trip! I was mistaken! No clothes!? Don’t stick out your tongue! Don’t even cross your legs!”

“Um, then what about the cat posture? Can’t that be?”

“No. Then you will become a real Mchang life. Wanna look like me? Hey! How far have you read this book? You better speak straight.”

“…Until Chapter 2.”

I hurriedly skimmed through Chapter 2. Fortunately, her worldview did not expand.

*

After that, I kept moving until the library closed.

The Star of Travelers from the Blue Star may be missing as a computer error, and there may be one more book. I thoroughly searched the place where the related books were gathered several times, and I also looked around.

But there was none.

Thankfully, the old librarian waited until later.

I did my best.

But was the earnestness too great?

Respect remains.

“…Don’t be too heartbroken. Dong Ha Mr. Dimensional movement is still an active field of research.”

“…Yes. Good job.”

“What about hardship? The King has read almost all of the books. And the book you mentioned earlier. I’ll take a look at the mugshot.”

I was grateful to Dorothy for many things. She

She heard from Yuria that she had been investigating dimension shifting before she came here, and that she resumed her activities even in the Mage Tower’s research society, which had been inactive, she said. I gave time to the demon king and me all day today.

“Thank you.”

“Yes?”

“I hope you haven’t heard.”

In this way, the expectations placed on Hamo Hamo, the Great Library, are over.

It was futile if it was a long-awaited opportunity.

Now…

Suddenly.

It seems that the reality that I prepared to accept little by little in my heart from a long time ago has come to me several steps today.

I may not be able to return to Earth anymore.

He grabbed a pebble and rolled it in his hand. There were many cobblestones on the road next to the library.

Being human is so cunning.

The shock of being betrayed even after relying on a low probability of hope is not small.

“You know.”

“…”

“Hee hee. My friend.”

“… Huh?”

I turned around at the sound of the demon king calling me. To that wind.

-Ududuk

You knocked down a tower that was being built with cobblestones.

Dazedly, I was building a small stone tower toward the unreachable sky.

“It was a lot of hard work.”

She just says that and smiles in circles.

I don’t know what you’re talking about…

Her comfort gives me strength more than anything else.

It was a lot of hard work.

I think these words recognize not only today, but also my hardships.

In the past, I thought it would be better to die on my own than to live here without being able to return.

But the reality of not being able to go back now wasn’t unbearably sad.

“Huh? Why do you look like that?”

“Because I am ugly.”

“… Ugh.”

Perhaps… I’m ashamed now, so I’m putting the bread bag over my head.

It must be thanks to this woman.

*

“Dong-ha, then I will go first. Hungry Rebecca might eat the couch again.”

“Uh. As I said earlier, I will go to the house of the devil and my friend.”

“Yes. Ah, it’s okay I wasn’t invited, so it’s a bit like being there. Just two minutes.”

“I didn’t even ask to go with you.”

“Kkereureu, it’s okay. Dong Ha Mr. Talk to her old friend. You and I have another one.”

“You don’t listen to what others say.”

She separated from Dorothy and walked in the direction of the lighthouse on the island her friend had told her about. I’m worried that the demon king walking from behind will trip over the stone and fall.

“It’s dark, so be careful.”

“Yes. I’m fine thanks to Cat’s Eye.”

“Really? Then you don’t have to hold my hand.”

-Quadang

“I fell.”

“Suddenly? I sold the cat’s eyes somewhere.”

-Quadang

“Okay. So, here. Catch.”

As I walked with her holding her hand, I saw her little white house with a light blue roof. The garden was beautifully maintained.

– Smart smart

-Tadadat!

– Knock!

I heard footsteps running excitedly from inside, and then Min-sik ran out.

*

“Hello. You are my brother-in-law.”

The woman whom Minsik introduced as his wife was also familiar with us.

“Nice to meet you.”

She smiled.

“Huh? Do you know me?”

Min-sik’s wife was the half-elf who guided us to the beach.
