My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 163: Library

Chapter 163: Library

Haru teleported to the beach house and went to take a bath then changed into a white Yukata and then wore an Orange Haori over it. After that, he came out of the house and stood before the cliff.

CRASH* SURGE*

He saw the waves from the sea hit the rocks with full speed and after a minute of thinking, he made a plus sign.

POOF* POOF* POOF*

And a large amount of smoke appeared behind haru after the smoke was cleared, he could see his clones standing behind him.

He had made nearly two hundred clones and all of them had one job.

"Ok now and go scour this damn planet find the two continents, when you find them leave a seal there and come back, take your time, just don't get caught," Haru said as the clones just shrugged it is not like they had a choice in this matter.

"[Henge no jutsu (Transformation jutsu if you don't know your Naruto)]" all of them said at the same time and transformed into crows and took off in all directions to search for the continents.

CAW* CAW*

Raum was delighted to see so many crows at once and cried happily.

Haru kept looking at them as their black feathers were falling around him, If only someone could take a photo it would be perfect.

Seeing that everything was done here Haru went back to searching for dungeons for the rest of the night.

***

The Next Morning 9 A.M.

Haru walked out of the inn and went towards Zenobia's shop again because he asked her if he can use the library in her shop and she agreed.

Haru was dressed in a simple black t-shirt and pants as he reached Zenobia's shop.

Kurumi still hadn't come out of his soul space and Raum had too much fun spy hunting so he went to do it again.

Knock* Knock*

Haru knocked on the door and it was opened by non-other than Randel.

"Welcome Big bro," Randel said with a smile as Haru nodded.

Haru saw him being dressed in a coat that was a mix of dark blue and light grey long with golden lines on the cuffs and collars there was a small shoulder guard on the left shoulder and a small emblem on the left side of the chest with the alphabets X Y, with a white dress shirt under it and dark blue pants.

"You sure are dressed up, going on a date?" Haru smiled as he said. he had formed a good relationship with Randel who already treated him like a big brother.

"As if I can get a date with my face, I have to go back to the academy to prepare for the new school year," Randel said as he guided Haru in.

"The academy is starting so soon?" Haru asked.

"No the normal classes will start next month but since the dorms are already open so I will go and live there to prepare for my 4th year, I also help with the patrols at the academy plus Big sis always nags me to go out and experience more things," Randel said with a helpless expression as Haru smiled and looked behind Randel.

"Oh my, I am sorry for nagging you," Zenobia's gentle voice came from behind and Randel was frozen.

He turned his head like a machine with bad oiling and looked at Zenobia who had a small smile on her face. She was dressed in a white t-shirt and dark blue pants.

"A-ah B-Big Sis, I heard that it will rain today so I'll get the laundry," Randel ran off at full speed.

"It is the middle of summer and there is no Laundry," Zenobia sighed as she looked at Haru who was smiling.

"Welcome, Haru," Zenobia said as her face felt a little hot.

"Thank you for letting me use the library," Haru said with a smile, he had told her to stop calling him Mr. all the time.

"It is a small thing, the public bookstores don't have many important books but you can find them here, although this library is smaller than the one in my house it has all the important books apart from mana studies," Zenobia said as she looked at Haru who nodded.

'There doesn't seem to be anyone keeping an eye here?' Haru was here for the books but the main reason was to catch more of the spies that were keeping an eye on Zenobia but till now he hadn't found anyone.

"I'll guide you to the library," Zenobia said as she walked upstairs followed by Haru.

Soon they reached a door in the middle of the corridor and Zenobia opened the door.

As Haru walked in, He took in the smell of old paper and ink. Then looked around at 6 bookshelves that were packed to the brim with books and scrolls.

There was a reading area on the right with an old wooded table and sofas.

"Well, Haru please read to your heart's content," Zenobia said as she went out after Haru nodded.

He went to the history section and started to read the books related to the history of this continent and he had made the right choice, these books had much more than the normal ones he bought from the bookstores still many events weren't here so Haru could only read this. He picked up 5 books and took them back to the reading area.

After Haru finished one book the door opened and Zenobia walked in with a tray in her hands.

"I brought some elven tea, it helps with concentration," Zenobia said as she placed the tray that had a white porcelain kettle and cups.

"Thank you, but you didn't have to," Haru said as he saw her pouring steaming hot tea into a cup.

"It is ok Haru," Zenobia said as she placed a cup in front of him.

"Ah, I forgot about the snacks," Zenobia suddenly remembered.

"Don't worry I have some here with me, come on eat with me," Haru said as he took out a jar of choco chip cookies and a few pastries.

"O-Ok," Zenobia said as she looked at Haru who was smiling and sat down after pouring herself a cup of tea.

Haru took a sip of the tea and it was excellent. It was really helping him clear his mind so that he can concentrate, Haru thought it was just a saying but apparently not.

On the other hand, Zenobia was also surprised as she finished one of the cookies.

"The tea is really good," Haru said as he ate his pastry.

"Yes these sweets are also really good," Zenobia said as she ate another cookie her eating pace was fast but it didn't look like she wolfing food down but she looked like a proper lady even while eating quickly.

"Where did you get these?" Both Haru and Zenobia asked simultaneously.

"I'll answer first, I get these every month as a gift from the elven royal family. They send a quarter of the best tea leaves to me, would Haru like some?" Zenobia asked as she wiped her face with the napkin.

"I can buy these in the market right?" Haru asked but Zenobia shook her head.

"No, these tea leaves don't appear on the market because it has a low production rate, and more than a quarter of the production is kept by the elven royal family for personal use, the other quarter is purchased by the royal families and high ranking nobles of the other two Kingdoms, then the last quarter is sold within the elven territory, so the ones that appear on the market are the lower tier tea that doesn't have much of an effect like this one," Zenobia said with a smile.

"And you get the other quarter, they sure treat you well," Haru asked as Zenobia nodded.

"It is to maintain a good relationship plus the main reason is because of their Lances," Zenobia said with a smile as Haru understood as well.

'Well, I thought Resha would like these she is always trying different types of tea leaves, and this will also help Jin-ah with her concentration problem, she is always too easily distracted,' Haru thought as he tapped his chin.

"How much is the prize of these tea leaves?" Haru asked.

"Hmm, The last I heard it was about 20 golds for 5 grams," Zenobia said making Haru's eyes widen.

"It is that expensive," Haru asked and Zenobia nodded.

'Damn I can only buy about 25 grams of this?' Haru smiled wryly looking at the cup of tea in his hand.

"Haru you can have some I have about a few kilograms that have accumulated over time, I don't like to drink tea too often and the tea leaves don't go bad even if they are kept for 30 to 40 years," Zenobia said and Haru was shocked again.

"Well, I'll take some," Haru said as he looked away.

"Fufu, sure but Haru you would have to tell me where you got these sweets from I never had any of them in Xyrus," Zenobia asked as she waited for Haru to answer.
