Episode 286 Cause and Effect (2)
There was no specific destination for this outing.
I just wandered around wherever my feet were heading.
‘Oh, there was a skewer shop over there 20 years ago.’
I’m not a fan of walking, but this time I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Should I say it’s like finding the wrong picture?
When I see shops that are still open 20 years later, I am glad to see them even though I have never been to them.
It was a time when I was wandering around like that.
“……huh?”
When did I get here?
It’s really scary that it’s a habit.
I blankly raised my head and looked at the beautiful exterior of the building in front of me.
[Southern Rabighion Central Archives.]
It’s just what everyone calls a ‘library’, and it’s also the place I’ve visited the most in the world.
‘Nothing has changed here from 20 years later.’
I didn’t hesitate to enter the library because I didn’t have a lot of things to do right away.
And…
“Welcome. Welcome to visit.”
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the staff.
To be honest, I was very embarrassed.
‘what is this. This place isn’t like this before.’
The counters, which were empty when Ragnar was there, were all filled with staff. When I first came, there was only one librarian who was dozing.
One of the many librarians approached me.
“Is this your first visit?”
A female librarian who appears to be in her early to mid-teens.
You look very young, but I don’t think it’s a full-time job.
Is it like an alpha?
But why are you so familiar?
“……is this your first visit?”
“Ah uh… that’s right.”
“Then, I will briefly guide you through the rules and methods for browsing.”
After listening to the guidance of the staff, it was not only the number of librarians who had changed.
The Administrative Wizard is only one of these many people.
Even that, when a user said a keyword, he used magic to pull out the records of the stored books, and other general librarians guided him to the location.
“…Why do you use such troublesome methods?”
“yes……?”
“Isn’t it convenient to cast a spell on users and find them on their own?”
To my question, the librarian answered with a bright smile, ‘What the hell is this barbarian kid talking about?’
“Haha, you might be thinking that way. But I heard that magic used on others increases the consumption of mana several times.”
“Ah, the lack of wizards is the problem.”
“Yes. I hadn’t even heard of such magic in the first place.”
huh? what is this again
Is there no such magic?
The car librarian, who involuntarily tilted his head, muttered in a self-deprecating voice.
“There’s no way the noble magic tower wizards can create magic for librarians like us, right?”
“……Uh, is that so? I’m sorry. I’ll come back later.”
“No. Then take a look around and if there is a book or field you would like to read, please feel free to contact us.”
After the conversation was over, the librarian returned to his seat and sat down. But perhaps thanks to that, when we were standing and talking, the name tag, which was not visible from an angle, caught my eye.
[Apprentice librarian – Shabin Emour]
Ha, somehow the face seems familiar.
it was him
He seems to have worked here before he became an adult and got a job at an administrative agency…
‘This is so amazing.’
I had a sudden thought.
If it were now, you could hear the short tongue of Misha’s childhood
…
Anyway, that’s not what’s important.
To be able to see my acquaintances’ green and green mite days if I wanted to?
Interesting, but what does it matter?
‘Dwalkie too… I’m sure he’ll be alive here.’
Lyall Warb Dwalkie.
Wizard, probably one of my sore fingers for the rest of my life.
‘If it is possible to change the future…’
Wouldn’t it be possible to prevent Dwalki from dying as I do here?
As soon as I thought that, an electric current went through my body.
Not a description, really.
support position.
what is this.
who got the electricity
A stinging sensation bloomed at my feet, and when I looked down, there was a kid looking up at me with disrespectful eyes.
I spoke generously like an adult barbarian.
“What kind of dog are you doing?”
The kid answered my question.
“I am a wizard.”
It was absurd.
Yes, I’m a wizard, so what?
So did you know that I would cringe in fear?
“Human kid, you don’t know because you’re young, but even a wizard dies when his neck is broken.”
Since arguing sincerely with a six or seven-year-old little wizard was laughable, I just gave him sincere advice.
But would you not like it?
“Okay, get out of the way. I can’t pass because of you.”
The little wizard glared at me with helpless eyes.
Thanks to this, I was able to understand the reason for the earthquake.
‘Hey, did you get an electric shock just because you blocked the road?’
I barely endured it, remembering Amelia’s words not to get into trouble, saying that I can’t help but be a really upset kid.
“Yes, go ahead, kid.”
“What do you do when you grow up and can’t even use magic?”
“What? You want to see the magic that breaks your neck?”
As soon as I opened the road to the side, the kid snorted so that everyone could hear it and disappeared.
“… barbaric.”
Yes, no blow to the savage.
‘Tsk tsk Are all the kids like that 20 years ago? It wasn’t like this when we were together……. What is the world going to be like?’
After that, I took a quick look around the library.
And without taking out the book, I sat down in any empty seat.
I had something to organize my thoughts on.
‘As expected, it would be a waste to just throw away this opportunity.’
20 years time difference.
It occurred to me that it would be a loss to just go back to the original time zone, as Amelia had said ‘opportunity’.
‘I can’t invest much because I only have three weeks to stay on the ground, but…’
I organized what I could do during that time.
A few things came to mind.
‘First, look at the world.’
The Noble Phantasm is stolen 20 years later.
I can’t stop it, and it’s virtually impossible to steal it in advance and bury it in the ground.
I don’t even know where it was hidden in the Holy Land.
But…
‘A warning would be possible.’
So, the first thing to do was decided.
1. On March 1, 153, Gaebyeok, write a letter from an unknown sender saying that someone who steals the Noble Phantasm is coming.
Of course, it is unclear whether this will change the future.
However, it does not require much effort, so there is nothing to lose. In that sense, I decided to write about the Holy Relic War as well.
In fact, that’s the primary cause of the decline of the barbarians.
‘……It would be nice if the power was as big as this world.’
I didn’t look around the city for a long time 20 years ago, but the most noticeable change was the percentage of barbarians.
Barbarians were seen quite a lot wherever they went.
Maybe this was normal in the past.
As the Holy Relic War broke out, the population decreased, and the Mage Tower announced that our hearts were valuable as magic materials, and reached this point.
‘The magic tower… how can I not stop it?’
Well, I decided to think about this a bit more.
I don’t have anything in mind right now.
Next at this point.
2. Create a situation where Dwalkie will not die.
In this case, two approaches come to mind.
In the past, they intervened and guided him not to be an explorer …….
‘Dragon killer kills him.’
The former has many variables, but the latter is more certain than any other means.
It’s also an action that will benefit the world a little more.
It is full of advantages in many ways.
But the problem is…….
‘I’m not even sure if that bastard is in Noark.’
According to known history, it first appeared about 10 years after it stole the dragon slayer sword and ran away.
It is said that he made his Orcules debut by single-handedly terrorizing the sanctuary of the fairies that was destroyed in the holy relic war.
Unfortunately, nothing is known about his previous whereabouts.
‘Then it would be good to meet Dwalki first.’
Therefore, it was decided to proceed with this issue ‘inducing Dwalkies not to become explorers’.
There are a lot of variables, but it was a worthwhile attempt.
Didn’t I even know where Dwalki might be staying at this time?
‘If I go there and say bad things about how difficult and dirty it is to be an explorer, I’m sure the perception will be bad.’
Okay then, let’s do this like this…
‘next time…’
It was the car that kept thinking like that.
Support Jijik-!
I heard the sound of electricity somewhere.
Fortunately, this time it wasn’t from my own body.
“Oops!”
As soon as I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw a man screaming after being electrocuted.
“Get out of the way and don’t block the road.”
The little boy recited the same lines he spat to me earlier.
Unfortunately, the results were different than before.
How many adults in the world are as kind and generous as I am?
Jab-!
The man slapped the little boy on the cheek without mercy.
Although it was a flimsy physique unique to anchovies, it was still difficult for a six or seven-year-old boy to withstand the strength of a full-fledged adult man.
“Birhe te…….”
The little boy who had been beaten and flew quickly stood up and chanted magic, but the terrorized man did not give him a chance to do so.
Poo-!
A merciless kick directed at the tiny body.
“……Shouldn’t it be dried?”
“Librarian! Let’s call the librarian.”
The eyes of the people around him gathered, but no one stepped forward.
Ha, that’s why these guys only study.
Please don’t concentrate.
“Who made the noise?”
I had no choice but to get up and head towards the commotion. And as if the anger doesn’t go away, go up to the man who is constantly stamping his feet…
“Be quiet in the library.”
I tripped and tripped over.
coo-!
“Mistress, what are you again!”
The man who had his butt on the floor grinned and stood up.
And he looked at me and raised his voice in annoyance.
“If you don’t want to get hurt…”
He blurted out his words as soon as our eyes met.
“What if you don’t want to get hurt?”
“…….”
“Why don’t you talk.”
“…….”
The man did not answer my question.
I wondered if he was going to use the first method of making people angry, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.
“……Just go on your way.”
Secretly, Visil pretended to be strong with her eyes down.
It was a bit ridiculous.
I thought he was an egalitarian who did not discriminate between men and women of all ages like a barbarian because he mercilessly slapped a child on the cheek.
‘I was just strong against the weak.’
Well, it’s because he’s 100% wrong this time.
“Are you going to do this? Can’t you see that people are reading books?”
“……Sheep.”
After we laid out a justification, Bishil clicked his tongue and turned around and disappeared.
After the anger subsided, he seemed to realize that he was embarrassed.
“Can it happen?”
” ……Never mind.”
If you’re going to say that, you should do it after you’re a few years older and have lost at least some breast weight.
“Aww.”
I sighed and lifted the child who was curled up like a shrimp to stand up.
Then I asked,
“Mom, by any chance . Is there no?”
”
There is.” Huh?
Yes
? ” No
? ”
“……I am at home
.” If you’re going to come to a place like this, go with me.”
“…I can
do it alone.” “Is that why you were beaten like that?”
Like a barbarian, I stabbed the sore spot straight away, and the kid frowned
“… …I could have won.”
“I see.”
This is why I hate children.
They are so stubborn about subjects that are far from rational thinking
. If you’re going to fight again, go over there and do it where I’m not.”
“……It’s not a fight. The one who blocked the road in the first place was at fault.” What
else did he say
? You have to tell me to move out of the way first.”
“I did. Both to you and to that man. But you ignored them both.”
Huh? Really? I really didn’t know…
“So I won’t.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I won’t say thank you
. ” ”
Okay,
so go.”
I waved my hand, and the little boy took a deep breath as if he was so upset about it, then turned around and disappeared. An
employee came running from afar after that.
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything, and instead of me The employee who was informed of the situation by the staff thanked me and
then disappeared. Thank you.”
This is the end of the brief happening.
When I sat down again and thought about
it
.
Hey, what are you doing?”
“You read books?”
“Why are you reading here?”
“Why can’t you read here?”
Ha
really…….
Exercising the patience of an adult, I moved to my seat.
But what could this be?
Slowly.
Within a few minutes, a chair was pulled to the opposite seat diagonally again.
“Why did you follow me?”
“You didn’t follow me?”
“Follow me .” You’re here.”
“I’m not.”
According to my numerous volunteer experiences, I must have bought this kid’s attention.
‘At times like this, indifference is the medicine.’
If you don’t respond, you’ll lose interest and fall off on your own.
I cut off my interest and continued thinking.
But this damn kid didn’t know the line.
“Why don’t you open the book?” ”
… .”
“Are you unable to read?”
“…….” ”
Shall
I tell you?”
Oh,
you must be really crazy .
.”
“No, what’s not—”
“Arua Raven.”
“……Huh?”
I stood in a daze. I
doubted my ears for an instant, but my ears weren’t wrong.
“Arua Raven is my name.
” …..No, really?
***
Blue eyes and sparkling blonde hair.
Short body shape and the fact that the race is human.
That was the only commonality I could find right away, but when I looked closely, I saw ‘Arua Raven’.
But, Shabin Like Emour, it was difficult to be certain.
There is such a big difference between being six or seven years old and being in your mid- to late teens.
So I asked again to confirm,
“Is this Arua? Isn’t it like Aruna Aruru Aruberos?”
“What are those strange names? My name is Aruya. So, be sensitive
about that. Anyway, in 20 years
,
there will be no more kids who will call you ‘Arua’.
“So, how old are you?”
“Five.”
He must have been tall for his age when he was young.
Although he was surprised by the sudden meeting, he slowly started to get curious.
“What is that book? It looks like a book about magic, but it seems like he’s learning it by himself, right?”
“Yes.”
“Aren’t you going to the Mage Tower?”
As I know the future of Arua as a member of the Mage Tower, I can’t help but wonder.
But he just clicked his tongue.
” Do you think anyone can enter the Mage Tower?”
Uh, that’s true, but…
“My family is poor, so I can’t.”
“So you ‘re studying alone? ”
”
…That’s right, right?”
I nodded awkwardly and thought,
what
did I do when I was five?
I’m also quite precocious for my age, but I can’t compare to him.
At least I didn’t worry about my ‘future’ at the time.
Well, it’s big that I didn’t have the time to do that because it was life and death.
“Then I’ll go.
” uh? All of a sudden?”
“It’s time for mom to get off work. I’ll get mad if she finds out she went to the library.” ”
Well, she’ll be worried if she goes out secretly like this.”
“…It’s a little different
from that .” I put the book on the return table and left coolly without looking back without any commitment
.
It may not be a big deal, but I can see that Raven’s expression was strangely dark when he said that.
‘Is there something wrong with my family?’
Come to think of it, he had never talked about his family in front of us. It was
the first time I knew that he was from the common people.
“Hmm…”
I’m curious about this?
