Chapter 23 - Examine, learning and premonition of trouble
(Edited by: Furvus)
Approximately one week has passed after Li evolved. After she evolved, she sticks awfully close to , although I feel that our sense of distance is shrank, well since it’s a good thing there’s no need to worry about it. Since if I left the hole on the wall open widely it’s seems it’s cold, but when I tried to close it up, for so reason Li stop . She seems to want to see the outside scenery. Certainly, it’s impossible for her to see outside from monster stable with Li height. Since this is just plain tasteless room, if it’s just seeing outside I will let her. That hole was too small for Li too after all so she wouldn’t able to go out with it, thus I leave it like that. If I was told to fix it then I will fix it.
After that, I checked Li′s race which evolved in the library. Although liquid sli is appeared in the reference book , as for the tal sli, there seems to be only the solid tal sli in the reference book. A human-type sli wasn't also ntioned, I don't understand so much about Li.
Thus, I decided to hear it from the expert. In fact, that person seems to be a forr adventurer. That person is invited by principal to beco a teacher at this school. Is A rank adventurer and that person also have nickna after all, I suppose that person's knowledge about monster must be vast too.
"Thus, Sasha-sensei may I bother you a mont?"
"... From whom you heard about it?"
After the class was over, when I go over teacher place and ask like that, I got that reply. Oh, was it a secret?
"The librarian from the library told about it. If it’s that girl perhaps she will know or so he said"
"Now I rember... principal often goes in and out at the library right. Concerning docunts"
"Yes, he seems to have heard it from the principal"
“Haah.... That's right, I am a forr adventurer; so what would you like to ask ?"
"Yes, Sasha-sensei the『Hound』"
"...That also?"
"I heard it from the librarian. It’s aweso you know, to get a nickna”
“Really, that teacher…. Please don't say it in front of the students"
"Of course"
If the fact that she’s forr adventurer is known, she will barraged with question from 1st year after all ~. As well as a knight and an Imperial Court magician, an adventurer with nickna is also will beco an object of adoration after all.
"Please move to the main subject soon"
"A, that’s right. My sli evolved the other day"
"That sli which take human form is? Well, it seems you do various things, with this pace is not strange at all"
"Is it fast?"
"No, it's normal. But, since the 1st grader didn’t go outside to battle often, it’s already good that she able to evolve once.”
That reminds , usually we only do mock battle inside the academy. Like that, no wonder they can’t collect mana.
"Well, put that aside. I don't know which kind of sli she evolved. I checked it in the library, but it didn′t appear in the reference book..."
"It is a sli which didn’t exist in the reference book huh.... She evolved from gel sli after all, so there must be such possibility right"
...Eh?
"Did you just say liquid sli?"
"I said it. Your sli, it’s evolved from gel sli right?"
"No, no, not like that. My sli, isn't it a person type"
"A sli obtains the characteristics of the things they’re eating, you know about it too right?"
If she eat tal, then her surface will also beco harder right.
"Yes"
"It is the sa. She ate that goblin elite and beca able to beco a person type"
"Heeh..."
"Probably, it’s a skill sli have from the start, the transformation skill right. Nevertheless, your liquid sli is quite solid. Usually, it isn't possible to stand in that way"
"Probably it may be the influence from continue eating tal"
“It reached the point where it can harden huh. Certainly, the sli lived in the mountain mostly hard after all. So, what kind of sli did it evolve into?"
"It beca...a tal-ford sli"
"From a liquid sli, then it beca tal sli right? I’ve never hear about it..."
"No, it’s not tal sli. It’s a liquid after all"
"Liquid? Even though it’s a tal?"
"That’s true. Ah, even if I say liquid, she still is a person type. It isn’t the sparkly tal body, but it’s muddy muddy-like body. Her arm also, she can extend and transform it"
“...”
Teacher beca silent. I suppose she’s looking it up inside her mories. I want to understand, even if it’s just a hint....
"Didn't you give...your sli sothing strange?"
"Sothing strange...I give her so Mithril ore"
Even if I say divine protection of a dragon, she wouldn′t believe it right.
"Mithril ore, where did you get it?"
"I received it from the smiting teacher, there’s little remain, and there’s no other use except for selling it"
"I see.... I don't know this type of sli too. But, I think that probably it might beco a variation from the magical power of the mithril ore. Even though I’m a teacher, but I didn’t able to answer my student question, I’m sorry"
"No, no, there are no such things, if it’s a variation, it’s normal for you to didn’t know about it.”
"When you said it like that, I feel at ease. Just in case, shall I tell it to the principal? He has connections in various places, if it’s just a talk perhaps he will hear about it you know"
"... No, it’s not like I really wanted to know about is so it’s fine. And more, no matter what kind of monster did li beco, the fact that she is my familiar is didn’t change after all. Well then excuse "
Teacher's guess would be right. Originally the base of her evolution was made of the dragon′s divine protection. Over there, the mithril ore beco the trigger of her evolution, and lead her to her present form. In other word her nature of the so called gel, mixed with mithril and beco her present form. Uh, if I think like that I sohow understand about it. Still, Li is gel huh.... Because I saw only her person type form all the ti, I never noticed. If she didn′t eat that goblin, would she beco like a tal sli?...Thank you goblin elite, thanks to you Li′s spongy body was saved. Though it's already muddy....
Therefore, I understand that, Li is probably a new kind of her species. As expected of dragon’s divine protection, it has done a good work indeed. I seem to be able to expect this from Ruu and Rin too.
Although about that Ruu, It isn’t weird that she evolved any ti soon right? Or that what was I though since long ago, because she goes for hunting during my class all the ti, her magical power must be pile up. She already continued it for several months, isn’t it okay for the effect to co out soon right~?
"Tsuchio-kun, Tsuchio-kun, I don't understand this problem..."
"Hm, let have a look. Aa, you transpose this and should calculate this"
"A, it is true! Thank you!"
"Tsuchio-dono-, how should this be done -?"
"Mmm, I told you this before. Look at your note at that ti and solve it okay 」
"Uuu"
"Tsuchio-san!"
"What is it this ti?"
"What is transposition!?"
"This, hear it after finishing my howork!"
"No way~!?"
And, now, while waiting for Ruu to return, I teach mathematics Lucas and the other. Looking at their textbook, it’s seems they haven’t do it further than scope of I A law, it’s the scope that a social science person like can taught pretty much to them.
Lucas seed also study even at his parents' house, and already surpassed the study in the school. Yep, his worried expression also can be made into picture huh~.
If it is normal addition and subtraction, Tris and Fall don′t have any problem, they have begun to suffer quickly after we learned multiplication. Multiplication table is really handy thing right ~, or I experience it personally.
"Even so, what is Tsuchio-san do from so ti ago?"
"Mmm, I helping the library you know, I didn’t have anything to do after all"
"No~, I′m saved you know~. If I beco the receptionist, then I can′t arrange the bookshelves right. It’s good if the students return it to the original place..."
"Well, it is troubleso to bother to return it in a high place. I can understand their feeling that wanted to put it below"
"When the ti to check the book, I need to rearrange the book one by one and it take considerable ti. Thus, I sotis do sorting the book you know. But, the receptionist can’t beco less crowded, just right when I need a helping hand you co to you know”
"If it’s just sothing like this, I’ll help you anyti."
I was a student library assistant after all. Even in high school, I did so the arrangent of the books in the library in that way. Oh, this book seems to be interesting, I will read it later.
"Don’t you wanted to work in the library from now on? It's fun when you get into it"
"Umm, I'd like to try it, but since I have the things that I have to do, I can only help for the ti being. I'm sorry"
"No, it is good. Raising promotion is first after all. I am already thankful enough with your help"
"If you say so, it make spirited”
"Tsuchio-dono, how is the multiplication of two digits done"
"I told you about it last ti didn’t I!?"
If Tris didn’t make review as her habit then it’s hopeless huh. Though it’s not sothing I could say ….. I’ve never reviewing my note after all ….
"Ah, by the way, you said that the principal cos to the library, why did he co here? Sasha-sensei said that it concerning about docunts"
"Aa, that’s you know.... Umm, I wonder if it’s okay to say it..."
"Perhaps, it’s about where sothing forbidden is kept?"
It’s Kisato-san the principal who also called as the monk, even if there’s sothing like that then it’s not sothing weird at all. And then, inside this academy’s library, as the template it have the room where the forbidden book is kept.
"Oh, so you did know. It’s right. That’s right, there is a storage of prohibited books in the inside of this library. The principal, often bring such a book"
"For research?"
"Although it is so, that kind of book usually gets misused by criminals’ right. It is necessary to keep it in a safe place"
"And then that place is here right"
"Well, all the teachers in this academy are the best. There wouldn't be a robber who takes risks and cos to such place intentionally"
"Certainly. However, forbidden book huh. Can student read it?"
"You need permission of the teacher and the principal, but it's possible to see it you know. Though, there are only several people every year"
"Hee~, as expected it’s really guarded strictly"
"That’s you know, it’s was great product you know”
"Huh?"
"Aaaaa, no no.... Th, the principal said so. "
"Is that so..."
All the teachers in this academy are first class.... As for this librarian, what kind of first class is he I wonder.
"Then, what kind of books kept in the storage of forbidden books?"
"Umm, I don't know it in detail because I haven′t entered so much either. The books which are pulling the reader inside when opened or a book where dangerous monster is sealed inside, books to summon devils, also there was a book to which the recipe of a strong dicine was written too"
"That powerful dicine... how about poison?"
"There’s also more than that, Explosive – aphrodisiac – even a dicine that shows a cruel hallucination until one’s mind break is exist.... Well, it’s the recipe of the dicine that’s too dangerous and does not circulate in the market"
"It is surely, dangerous right..."
"It is used for torture. It is bad if it is handed over to the empire, although it isn’t clear whatever they’re have hostility against us or not”
They seems to do several skirmishes after all, the empire. Even though there is a monster, I can’t understand them. No, I don't want to understand it.
"Because we have such a book, the forbidden book’s storage are being guarded strictly right` "
"I don't think that a robber will enter, but just in case. A spy might co after all. "
"To take the banned book?"
“A forbidden book, is dangerous that’s why it’s called forbidden book, there’s also a case when they make it as forbidden book so other country wouldn’t able to take it. Although the dicine book from a while ago is also dangerous, but if those book fall into the hand of another country it will beco considerable threat to us, those book is like, strong grimoire or perhaps arms and also blueprint of the town is co into those category. "
"Is even a plan treatnt as prohibited books? This is a library here or?"
"That's right. Well, important one is kept in the Imperial castle. A lot of grimoire are kept here"
It is so. Though the grimoire is used in lesson, but even if we have arms blueprint is only make us troubled right.
"Ah, but this one is kept the spare..."
"Do you have any other storages?"
"Ah, no, nothing,"
Well, I won’t enter the forbidden book storage after all. It’s doesn’t matter right~.
"OK, is this alright with this? There?"
"I've finished. That's all I know"
"That's right, thank you for helping . I want to give sothing as a reward, but I don't have anything now..."
"No, I only helped about once, there’s no need to give anything. Then I will see the study of those fellows"
"I’m sorry. I’m will prepare sothing when you helped several tis okay"
As expected the librarian is a good person. The aunt at the canteen is a good person librarian-san is also good person, this place is crowded with talented people, after all he also collecting forbidden book, as I though principal is not an ordinary person.
"Tsuchio-san! Please co quickly!"
"Tsuchio-dono!"
"Yes, yes, I'm coming. I an, don't raise a loud voice inside the library..."
Really, they’re still a child huh……
That night. In the dead of the night, several black shadows invade in the academy climbing over the wall surrounding the academy. Although the school is covered by a magic shield which is a prevention against intruders, the black shadows make a hole in the barrier, after all of the mbers enter, they restores it, so there are no signs of invasion left. It’s no way the work of the robber from the neighborhood, it was the work of master.
Without making a noise, without making any voice certainly beco shadows they’re running inside the building. Whether they protect their soles with sothing, not even their footprints can be seen. They pass the monster stable and pass the school building and run without looking in the dormitory. Their target is...yes, the library.
The shadows which arrived at the library, although the key puts away as a matter of course, the door opens automatically when one person holds up his hand. When all the mbers entered inside, the library door closed. There are no signs that they invaded anywhere.
A new day rises soon and the morning is t as usual.
