Chapter 29-The Garden of Books and the Words of Loge

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

With Moriah leading we  step into the room.

 

 

 

 The bookshelves reaching to the high ceiling are packed with books, and it seems difficult to pick up information from them.

 

 

 

 To begin with, I don't understand the words. What is he going to do when he can't even tell what kind of material it is even by looking at the spine?

 

 

 

"Hmmm, Can you read, little girl?"(Moriah)

 

"I-I can"(Nibelung)

 

 

 Moriah holds Lun up with a smile that has an air of good-naturedness about it.

 

 

 

 I see that ...... Lun, being a local, can read. Come to think of it, I had never shown Lun the memoirs I had found in the underground canals, because I had left them at the academy.

 

 

"Now, let's see, 'Loge' You have something to show us, don't you?"(Moriah)

 

"Well, well, well. What do you think?"(Loge)

 

 

 Moriah looks at Loge, and his eyes dart to a spot on the bookshelf.

 

 

 

 Several books with red spines resembling twilight were stored in front of his eyes.

 

 

 

"Lucent, those  the red books. Bring them all to me."(Moriah)

 

"Okay."(Lucent)

 

 

 

 

 With Lung in his arms, the old sorcerer uses the leader of the party as a errand runner.

 

 

 

 His trust in him is evident. The division of roles must be clear.

 

 

 

 What is needed here  now is Moriah's knowledge.

 

 

 

"Now, let's get started. Rain, please."(Yuki)

 

"I'll leave it to you. ...... 《Sense Distortion》"(Rain)

 

 

 

 This is a new magic that Rain and I developed together.

 

 

 It was originally developed as a trump card for the re-invasion of "Colorless Darkness," 

 

The effect of this magic is to activate a mixture of sensing magic, which detects and perceives hidden doors, traps, traps, etc., as contrasting shades of "different from normal".

 

 

 

 Although "Glad Shii-Im" is abnormal everywhere, if you set the abnormal as normal, you may be able to sense the singularity in this reference room.

 

 

 A magician as good as Rain could do that.

 

 

 

By the way, I can't ...... use this magic after developing it.

 

 

 

 The red mage is not good at sensing system magic in the first place.

 

 

 

"The book that Moriah has and, uh, that big brown-backed book over there, and that desk drawer, are weird."(Rain)

 

"I'll go check the drawer."(Nene)

 

"I'll get the book!"(Marina)

 

 

 Nene and Marina head toward where Raine pointed.

 

 

 

 In the meantime, I release a "Refresh Mana for Continuous Restoration of Magic Power" spell on Rain.

 

 

 

 The  sense distortion is a compound type effect magic similar to the distortion glowing arrow prismatic missile.

 

 

 

 Because the activation process is different from normal, it consumes a lot of magic power.

 

 

 

"Thank you. Rain."(Yuki)

 

"No, it's fine, I'm glad that the magic that Yuki and I created together is useful."(Rain)

 

 

 

I gave a small nod to Rain with a smirk, and when I turned around, Silk was also looking around me with her eyes.

 

 

 

"......What's wrong, Silk?""(Yuki)

 

"There is an unusual spirit here. It may be unique to Glad Shii-Im."(Silk)

 

"What kind of spirit?"(Yuki)

 

"That's what I ...... don't understand. It's hard to tell, but it's not a natural phenomenon, but a memory, a song, a lore? It is difficult to describe. It seems more like a spirit involved with the psyche."(Silk)

 

 

 

 

 Hearing that, I felt a bit of a sense of urgency.

 

 

 Spirits are the building blocks of the world, and they inhabit everything.

 

 

 Some spirits are related to the four elements, such as fire and water, some control life and sleep, and some control the human spirit - anger and courage.

 

  And they are generally difficult to handle, and if ...... controlled incorrectly, they can cause terrible consequences.

 

 

 

"I will try to contact them."(Silk)

 

"Will that be all right?"(Yuki)

 

"Yes, it's a quiet docile. It's the first noncrazy spirit I've encountered in Glad Shi-Im."(Silk)

 

"I understand. Just be careful."(Yuki)

 

"Yes"(Silk)

 

 

 

 Whether my concern is conveyed or not, Silk closes her eyes and utters a faint, singsong-like phrase.

 

 

 

 Then a book slipped out of some shelves by itself and began to fly around the room like a bird or a butterfly.

 

 

 

 Not in a hostile wind, but flying gracefully and quietly, it slowly approached us, as if attracted by Silk's spirit language.

 

 

 

"Ah, you are the spirit of the book. ...... that dwells in things that carry stories and memories. ......"(Silk)

 

Silk shows a gentle expression as she touches the book, which is flying around as if it is playing with her.

 

 

 

 It seems that there is nothing to worry about.

 

 

 

"I'll gather information from them, and I'll be fine here."(Silk)

 

"I understand. Shall we go, Rain?"(Yuki)

 

"Yeah."(Rain)

 

 

 

 

 Moriah is already reading a red book with Lun at the large round desk in the center, and Marina is waiting for us in the empty space with a large brown-backed book.

 

 

 

 Nene, too, seems to have gotten something from the desk drawer.

 

 

 

 

"I'm the only one who isn't working, which is a bit unbecoming of a "brave" man, even if he is a decoration."(Yuki)

 

(TL:When everyone except  you is useful )

 

"The contents of the desk were keys."(Nene)

 

"Isn't that the key to this book?"(Marina)

 

 

 

 The large book that Marina brought is indeed locked.

 

 

 

 Now, the question is whether or not we can carelessly open a book with a lock that can be detected by the sense distortion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After thinking for a moment, I turned to Loge.

 

 

 

"Loge, I've got a problem. Do you know what this book is?"(Yuki)

 

"Yes, of course."(Loge)

 

 

 

 Then I open my mouth.

 

 

 

"It's not dangerous, is it?"(Yuki)

 

"I cannot tell you that hehehe"(Loge)

 

"No, Tell me that this book is not dangerous."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 At my request, Loge's smile stops.

 

 

 

 Staring at me with glazed-over eyes, he seemed to have lost his composure.

 

 

 

"Let me hear it from your mouth."(Yuki)

 

"...... No. There is no danger in that book."(Loge)

 

 

 

 The moment Loge uttered these words, the air of a feeling emanating from the book fizzled out.

 

 

 

 The book was now "safe."

 

 

 

"I'm sorry. Did I push you too hard?"(Yuki)

 

"No. No."(Loge)

 

 

 

 

 I thanked him lightly and turned back to the book.

 

 

 

Okay, let's open it. ......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Nodding to Rain and the others peering in, I inserted a small key into the keyhole of the book.

 

TL Note- I am running out of things to say in TL Note......so something different then......The light novel I was translating....it's too much of a work ...I need to translate raw in the form of pictures....well that was all. And on another who wants to live the garden of books, the comments are open to your answers.
