Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

701 You Run Into The Former Strongest, Most Unexpected Person

It was early, about ten days after Eina came to the Holy City.

In the beginning I was also nervous over a lot of unfamiliarity, it was Aina who was struggling for a long time, but I'm not used to it these days either.

I stopped taking breaks in my room after class, and Eleonora and I seem to be able to have a normal conversation.

In free time, Eina also seemed to have decided to spend time reading the book again, living a life that was totally unchanged from the Somas.

I don't seem to be experiencing any particularly problematic issues either...... I might rather be in a tougher situation with Soma now.

Soma's there, too, because that's exactly why.

"No, there's been some serious problem, I'm saying something like that, but it just means you're out of books to read, right?

"Well, it is."

Soma glances lightly at the spot as she shrugs her shoulders at Aina, who turns a frightened eye.

The sights in sight, though familiar, are unfamiliar.

It was all over the city of the Holy City.

And Soma and the others are walking through a place like that right now, basically as Aina said.

He came looking for something new because he ran out of books to read in his free time.

Soma has traveled all over the city of the Holy Capital for similar reasons before, but technically not like then.

It was possible then that there was still a book in the Temple that I had never read, but this time because I know it's not possible.

More precisely, because I've read through it, though.

Soon after Soma ran out of books to read in the first place, he didn't ask for additional books to Eleonora because he knew why Eleonora was so busy.

Soma is not selfish enough to ignore it and prioritize his convenience.

but it's worth noting here that Soma wasn't the only one who needed the book.

Yes, as I mentioned earlier, Eina also decided to read the book, which is why Eina needed it.

Besides, Eina's public position is a guest.

We want to be one of them, and this one accepts it, and although that is the case as a treatment, let us not forget that she is a messenger from Diment.

Eleonora seems to want to work formally with Dimento, but discussions and sorting to do so are necessary.

Given that it does not end overnight, Eina's public treatment remains a messenger, at least until those things are over and we can keep pace.

Therefore, it is also the duty of Eleonora and the others to take care of it.

If they want something, it has to come true unless they say something unreasonable too, and if they can't, they have to stop even if they treat them as incompetent.

If you say so already, it's just as incompetent and deserving of treatment that annoys the Guest's hand.

In short, what do you want to say, if Aina wants a book, Eleonora has to be aligned, even if it was for free time.

If they go shopping all over the city, Eleonora will be in trouble.

That's why I had to get Eleonora to prepare it, at least for the first time... but as a result, I was able to get some Soma's share ready as well.

I was hoping you could tell me where the book is and get permission to use it there, and I finally just tried to say that, but they can't do that publicly for the sake of treating guests either.

And it doesn't have to be confirmed again, but the place where the Somas are being looked after is the Temple.

It's not a library.

It means that it is not a place to read books, and the number becomes limited when it becomes a book other than that anyway if it is a Bible or something.

If it's a piece of information that Soma doesn't know, it's a shame.

As a result, I finally read through yesterday.

"Hmmm...... but so it would be nice to come and buy a book, but I wonder where they sell it. It would be helpful if it were something that would mark a mark."

"... wait a minute"

"Hmm? What is it?

"Sure, I thought you were looking around strangely just now... don't you know where you're selling it?

"Instead, why did you think you knew?

"I guess it's not what you say great......!

It is true, but if there is no other way, it is natural.

Soma has walked around the city of the Holy City a few times before, but all of this has been interrupted for some reason.

I don't know much about what is here in the first place.

"Uh... Really?

"Yeah......? So you asked me to look for a new book and see what was in the city?

"I can only be taken for meaning..."

"It was disrespectful."

In fact, as a soma, I meant it that way, but the word is a difficult one.

By the way, that's how I invited Aina because I never saw Aina walking outside since she came here, and I simply wondered if I'd look around alone.

Walking alone in a city I don't know much about is too vain, and Eina won't know much about this place, so one stone and two birds, that's why.

That leaves one Hildegard in many ways, but he's a reasonably good adult, so he'll do whatever he wants on his own.

Note that that Hildegardo, which always comes with nothing to say, was driven out to help Eleonora only today.

They say Hildegard has a slightly troublesome case that he can only help with.

I couldn't say no given that I was usually taken care of, but I went to help.

Whatever.

"Well, I was going to try to circle the city anyway, so I wouldn't mind. And while you're at it, you'll find those stores too... would you?

"A little...? I realized I didn't think anything of it, you look like...?

"No, you're actually right... speaking of which, I've never seen anything like a store selling books in my life. Or is there such a thing as a store selling books in the first place?

"Huh...?

There is no doubt that the book exists as a commodity.

But at the same time, a book is a reasonably expensive substitute.

I forgot because it was commonplace around me, but my parents are dukes, albeit from a small country, and the library that was at the Royal College was originally brought out of Veritas, supposedly the most prosperous in the world at the time.

One way or another, those are the more exceptions, which are usually something that the general public can't handle inside.

If you think about it in common sense, you can do it because you're scared of having it lined up in the store.

"I don't remember seeing a shop selling books even when I was traveling before."

"... if you ask me, right? I made a mistake because there was something obvious... I mean, if you don't know it in the first place, ask someone. That's when you'll find out."

"Even so, there's no way to annoy Eleonora any more."

"I should have asked the servants..."

If she was impressed that it was a blind spot, Aina sighed out in her face like a mixture of fatigue and awkwardness.

It just didn't seem to be directed at Soma, it seemed to be directed at me too.

"Well, I should have noticed, and I should have asked in advance. I didn't even gather information because I just thought you knew... maybe you were a little too distracted. For once, it's no wonder what's going on here."

"Hmmm... you are"

Nodding, he narrows his eyes and exhales one.

Sure, I might have been a little too distracted.

"In the meantime, whatever it is, we're moving out of this place. I was only looking for books for one purpose, and I was going to take a walk regardless of that. I didn't decide I wasn't selling it."

"This one's still here, and I don't mind if you do..."

If you notice, resume the leg movement that was stopped, and you two walk out of the spot.

Anyway, Aina looked surprised, but she doesn't mind moving on.

If you turn your gaze to your surroundings, even today the whole city of the Holy Capital was the same stream of people.

The majority of those who come to the Holy Capital are not here to visit, so to speak, for pilgrimage.

If so, the destination is inevitably the temple.

But the Somas, on the contrary, are coming from the temple, which again inevitably takes the form of a retrograde flow.

It was visible that it would be a pain in the ass, and Soma turned to the side road to avoid it.

Moment after moment, I felt my gaze pierced from my back, but I dared not say anything.

So I guess you figured out that you had an idea here, too.

Eina doesn't say anything either. It follows.

Indeed, given that the aim was to see what was going on in the city, it is also a bad idea to get into the sidewalk.

You won't get caught up in the waves, but you don't know where in the city at heart there is.

Although confirmation of the side streets is necessary, it is normal to think that confirmation of the front streets is the first step.

So naturally Soma walks there after finding out about it.

Besides, Soma's legs go further behind the side roads, to places where even signs of people's appearance have begun to go far.

"Oh, um... soma? Hey... where are you headed...? It's... it's like we're heading out of sight..."

Even though Aina calls out just about to the situation, the tension seems louder in her voice than anxiety.

But in any case, Soma goes further into the back without responding to it.

"Hey, hey, um... maybe, what... maybe trying to be alone, isn't it? Oh, no, you know what I mean? It's too abrupt and there's no reason to do that...? So, but look, I know... no, I don't even hate you...!?

To the overlapping Eina, still, Soma eventually stopped on her feet, without responding.

That's not the narrow road we've ever had, it's just a little bit wider.

Even if it can't be called a square, there is a degree of breadth to which it may be possible for the two humans to relax or fall asleep.

And as I looked back, I shook Aina's hand, reflectively or with her shoulder bickering.

"-Aina."

"Hey, soma......!? Um, me, Ko, my heart is ready...!?

"… I'm sorry. And don't ever leave, okay?

"What, heh...? Soma, what...!?

Moments, you understood the situation, Eina opened her eyes, but Soma still never responds.

I can't afford that.

Instead, if you only slightly increase the power to hold hands, you squirm.

- Are you sure you don't mind?

Sounding on the spot shortly afterwards was the shattered sound of glass.

The surrounding spaces are simultaneously scattered and the scenery appears as if it had never been seen from behind.

It seemed to resemble but not resemble the place I had been until just before, but above all it was the figure of one woman present on the spot.

Eyes of the same color on purple blue hair.

Those eyes that are staring straight at this one are powerful, and they host a light that you won't be able to forget at first sight.

I am the greatest in the world and I do not doubt the fine dust about it.

It's an invincible yet enjoyable grin on its face, insisting on that all over its body.

It was the first face I saw.

There is no mistake in that.

But.

"… is it a welcome from the emperor himself? You've done a lot of terrible things."

"What, you don't have to despise yourself like that. If we were to welcome the Demon King, it would be natural for the concubine to have to deal directly with him?

That said, the woman - Victoria Y. Arcanum, the current emperor of the Empire of Yupitel - let her hang the edge of her mouth with a pleasant face.
