Contact 196.

“I wonder if there is a space like this inside the Student Union?”

The three immediately went down the stairs beyond the iron gate.

Flora's eyes twinkle, and she continues to look around.

It was dark inside the iron gate, but still, the light was definitely coming in under my feet.

Tiny magic stone lights twinkle.

Was it like a natural manastone embedded in a dungeon wall or the ground?

According to Tiana's explanation before, manastones are 'artificial manastones' that are usually made through alchemy.

Therefore, it is brighter and the brightness can be freely adjusted.

Functionality and practicality must be certain.

But as Eud just thought,

The manastone you see now was not the light of an artificial manastone.

Was it like the light I saw in the tomb cave?

“...is this really a natural manastone?”

“Yes, yes. That's right, Eud."

"Oh!"

When Eud asked a question, Cherny nodded her head.

Flora's eyes twinkled at that answer.

Natural Manastones are things that have monetary value in themselves.

The same goes for rare minerals and ores.

The reason why the dungeon was originally called the 'place of blissful gold' is because of the material of many monsters and the simultaneous magic stones.

Among them, depending on the quality, there are manastones that are much more expensive than gold or gems of the same mass.

It would be unavoidable for Flora to have her eyes twinkle.

Flora is already scanning her surroundings with calculated eyes.

How interesting. He had the momentum to light up the surroundings with just his eyes.

“Sleep, wait a minute. Flora, just in case, don't try to dig...!"

At Flora's eyes, Cerny swung his arms in a hurry.

“Ah, my lord. Anyway, I don't get it anyway. There is no equipment in the first place.”

Is the lack of equipment a problem?

“My brother, I often said that the Keynesians aren’t necessarily bad people, but they are a bit ruthless in profit…”

“The car is gone. Your Majesty, you have a lot of elixir, right, Eud-sama?”

“Ahaha.”

Flora already laughed at Czerny, saying, "It's a joke too~".

For some reason, the evaluation Delberg gave to the Keynes family was similar to the evaluation Eud gave to Flora.

After going down the stairs for about two minutes, I saw another iron gate.

And it was as if they knew that the three of them had come close.

Before even touching the iron door, the door opened with a rattling sound.

“Thank you, Titania.”

[“(nodded)”]

The one who opened it was the Familia of the Mask, Titania.

After that, Oberon was also standing there.

The two family members greeted the three of them politely.

“Humanoid Familia……! Wow!”

Flora was conveying even more admiration.

With that butler and maid-like appearance, did Flora's 'This is for sale sensor' activated?

As soon as they left the door, Eud and Flora held their breath at what they saw in the distance.

“That’s a tree! How could a tree in the basement…!”

tree. It wasn't just a tree either.

It was a tree large enough to be called a giant tree from the outside.

Only the thick upper part is visible.

No body or roots are visible.

If we expect the structure,

Did that tree start much further down than here?

“It’s absurd.... ugh!”

Flora, who was frantically looking at the tree, almost fell over.

Eud quickly grabs it and holds it in his arms.

“Flora, are you okay?”

"Ah, ahhhhh... yep♡

Flora, who came out of Eud's bosom, blushed with ecstasy.

“These on the floor are… wow… are they all books?”

Now, do you understand how the surroundings are becoming more and more?

This is a library.

The height of the bookshelf is incredibly high.

The number of bookshelves is countless-

Even on this floor alone, it was a library comparable to the Academy Central Library.

Surely Anat once said that.

In the student center, there is a ‘library information room that only authorized people can enter’.

Of course, at this scale, the expression of a library information room is not enough.

“‘Rune’ doesn’t really organize books.”

““‘Lune’……?””

“I was trying to organize it at first too… but it got so messed up that I couldn’t even touch it…”

[“Oh, I’m not dizzy. It's all laid out in a place I know. It’s my own arrangement.”]

“You say that every day, and you don’t know where you put the book, so you tell Oberon and Titania to bring it to you……”

““!!!””

A voice from a loudspeaker was heard from somewhere again.

Soon, ‘something’s force’ started flying over the three of them.

“Uh, uh, ah?! Kyaaaah?!”

“That’s what entered the hideout…!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”

It's a tiny shadow. A winged creature with 'red eyes'.

They were the beings that filled the living room of the hideout yesterday.

And Eud noticed them belatedly.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?"

While Flora also clings to Ewood and screams, she notices a figure.

“Pixie?!”

[“You are a guest.”]

[“It’s been years since we had new guests, really?”]

[“Ah, the children who were scared yesterday.”]

[“Oh, there was a child who was chasing me very scared yesterday.”]

[“Hey, let’s not play with him.”]

[“I might be scolded like Czerny…”]

[“Wow, mush.”]

Numerous flying creatures.

A being considered a fairy and also called a spirit, 'Pixie'.

It is an innocent creature the size of an adult's palm, like a boy and a girl.

“Then all those red eyes were pixies……!”

Flora understood that, too, and said a bit loosely.

From the body attached to it, a slight relaxation of tension was transmitted to Eud.

Come to think of it, the pixie in the academy is-

Did you say that it is a living being that even sends images through ‘Video Magic Crystal’?

Then, in the direction from which Pixie flew, a certain 'pink color' was also walking.

Eud sensed that it was the master of the voice.

“-Everyone, don’t play around here, play a little farther away!”

[“Excuse me, Rune.”]

[“Every day we use our eyes.”]

[“The chores are ours, and playing is always Rune, right?”]

[“I was working overtime yesterday.”]

[“We demand fair pay and entertainment.”]

“Oh, I’ll buy you a bunch of sweets later! I’ll even make you take a voyeur with a magic crystal!”

[““Then I can’t help it.””]

At the voice of the pink being, the pixies disappeared again in an instant.

...Wait, but didn't I say voyeur now?

Well, even before Eud revealed his suspicions there.

Pong! With the sound, another Familiar appeared next to the three.

“Heh heh…! The girl I saw in the morning!?”

"Ah. It’s Kururu.”

“Yeah, I’m Kururu.”

Kururu nodded politely to Eud and Flora.

His doll-like head wiggled.

Was it still not like a Familiar, too human?

“It’s been a while since a new visitor came and the kids must have been excited. Oh, have you seen them too? At dawn, Cherrynia was shoveling too much again, and then she stopped~”

“I’m not sure……”

And the pink presence came close enough to be seen by the three of them.

Czerny pouted her mouth and responded as if he was saying something.

There Eud and Flora took another breath.

Her long pink hair shimmered in the light of a gentle magic stone lantern.

Did you feel elegance and childishness at the same time as the ends were curled?

no more-

small.

than Cerny.

than Eud and Flora.

Considering her age, she must have been around 10 years old.

Now that the pixies have left, Kururu was the only one who was smaller than this girl in this place.

The way she spoke, which I heard from time to time, gave me a strangely old-fashioned feeling.

Was her age completely out of expectation?

On clothes full of ruffles and lace. Still, the baby-like appearance is dreamy and fairy tale.

She looked like a girl from a really cute picture book.

If Lenny Anne had seen it, she would reveal that she had found a good material.

The pink girl opened her mouth with a calm smile.

“Call me Rune Alpail. Eud Hollite Phoenix. Flora Keynes.”

"......Yeah?"

But Eud was surprised once more at that moment.

From the moment Czerny said her name, I thought it was strangely caught in her memory-

“I think the pixies are excited to have a new customer after a long time-”

“Lune Alpale……? Are you a fiction writer?!”

“Look at me- huh?!”

Obvious.

Rune Alpale.

He is the author of the ‘Nightseol’ that I found at the general store.

“Eud-sama, if it’s nonsense- Ah! The sensual novel that Tiana and Selena had! Is that what Eud bought?!”

“No, over there!? When did Flora see that again!?”

“Last time we had a break, the two of you were watching, so we watched it together~”

"together?!"

“Eud-sama’s taste, too!”

“These sisters were still watching that, really…! And I didn't buy it! It has nothing to do with taste!?”

“Ah, I saw Drawwa and Francine together!”

“- That’s more of a problem!”

If that's the case, then everyone in the Phoenix faction has seen the night talk.

Thinking that it was also a sarcasm of Eud's taste.

Was Eud ashamed of himself now?

“Wait a minute. I'm sure I used to write 'kijap novels' as a hobby in the past... but what? Uh, how!?”

Rune had a look that caught her own black history.

‘But what’s the key?.’

At the first word he heard, Eud flinched for a moment.

......No, that's not what's important right now.

The handbook was very old and outdated.

The paper was discolored and tattered, so it wouldn't be strange if it broke at any time.

At the Phoenix mansion, it was Eud who often saw the Hunter activity records.

Thanks to this, the time flow due to the discoloration of the paper could be roughly calculated.

The data were sorted by time period.

It is certain that the obscene memoirs are at least 30 years old.

Then the little girl in front of me right now...

How old are you talking about?

“Hey, I want to tell you this first…”

Were you aware of the situation?

Cherny spoke cautiously to Eud and Flora.

“Because Rune is older than she looks.”

““… ‘more than it looks’?””

“み……!”

Eud and Flora turned their heads to Rune.

Rune was startled, and spread out her index finger with both hands-

“Lune Alpale, ten pictures~”

The sound of tongue squeaking while poking cutely on the cheek.

And then, as if flirting, she fluttered her tongue in a lively manner.

Because her appearance was definitely a ten-year-old girl.

If I didn't know, I wonder if she really seemed like a girl full of children.

No, but a 10-year-old doesn't make a tongue-twitching noise.

Then Czerny relentlessly requested to revise the information.

“...multiply by 7.”

“Sheesh.”

""multiply!?""

The tongue kick that followed was a sound full of age.

“……Lune Alpale, sixty murmurs……that’s it.”

There was something wrong with the calculation, and the words were vague.

Eud didn't want to go into more detail than this.

“Really in your 70s……?!”

“60s-! Is this important?!”

At Flora's murmuring, Rune quickly shouted for her correction.

“And she is the sister of Dean Bernay.”

At Cherny's words, a second shock strikes Eud and Flora.

* * *

“It’s been 30 years since I wrote it, but it must be in the general store. I secretly gave it to you ladies. Oh, I thought I would just distribute it in hardcover. I didn't expect it to be so tattered."

As Eud told her of her sleight of hand, Rune said with a blush on her face.

If you think about it, could there have already been a clue that ‘The Magician of the Familiar’ and ‘The Author of the Night Story’ were the same person?

Eud remembered what he had seen when he glanced at the memo earlier, and what Aru & Meru had said to Kirlumina in the mansion room.

([The sweet smell of milk in the precious place of Titania-])

(“Actually, I read some of the notes earlier.”)

(“It begins with Titania and Oberon-”)

-Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The names of the characters in the novel are Oberon and Titania.

It was the name of the Masked Familiars.

Of course, these two names are often heard in legends and legends.

It's a famous enough name, so I just didn't pay much attention to it.

Oberon and Titania were giving tea to Eud and Flora right now.

Until now, there were a lot of books scattered around.

The two of us moved the books in an instant, and suddenly there was a seat.

Next, Rune 'beckons', and tables, chairs, and refreshments arrive from somewhere.

The tea party was established so quickly.

Are the items on the table the same as Bernay's tea set that Eud had seen before?

When Eud looked around, the pixies that had spread earlier were also sharing cookies.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Under the soft light, or a spacious bookshelf. And a pile of little books and so on. Sit freely everywhere and chatter.

The cookie was about 1/3 the size of a pixie, so it looked like it was holding a wagon wheel.

After slurping the prepared tea, Flora opened his mouth first.

“Lune. Maybe- Is Rune-sama correct for ‘Professor Rune’? That he manages all of the academy magic items……”

That's what Eud noticed in the morning.

And it was a point that Flora had been aware of from a while ago.

Rune raised her eyebrows for a moment at the name of ‘Rune’.

He then put a cookie on his lips and said softly.

“Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. Huh. that's my pseudonym A pseudonym as Professor Emeritus.”

"I knew it.......! Thanks to Eud, I finally found it! Whoa!”

“Ubvvv.”

Flora turned into a flower color as if she had really come to visit.

Grabbing Wood on the seat next to him, stroking his head, face, eyes, nose and mouth, Pababat without distinction. Were you overjoyed?

Indeed. At first, I was just chasing after Eud and Czerny.

Because I had reached the professor I was looking for at once. It is natural to be happy.

“However, I made you come in here. To say that you saw 'Lune Al Pale' at the academy, you shouldn't go outside. The same goes for this space.”

“Ah, if you ask me to keep secrecy, of course I do.”

Fullora nodded his head as he grimaced at Wood.

Then, as Rune pointed at Eud with her finger, Eud nodded as well.

But it's a secret not only about yourself, but also about the space.

“……Is that because the origin of this space itself is close to a secret?”

As Eud whispered, Rune opened his eyes slightly wide in surprise.

“Oh … you say ‘origin’, so I think you figured it out.”

"origin? Eud, what are you talking about?”

Flora tilted her head and looked at Eud.

Did Czerny know what Eud had noticed? Now, in a calming state, he was drinking tea.

For some reason Kururu settled on Cherni's lap.

Well, it's cute enough to put it on his lap.

“It feels like this library itself was built on top of a dungeon.”

"Yeah?!"

Natural Manastones were not the only dungeons.

If you feel it well, the whole place has the atmosphere of a 'dungeon'.

Is it supposed to be a movement of life?

Of course, there is no unique atmosphere that is really life-threatening.

Still, the energy of the dungeon itself was being transmitted little by little.

Yes.

It was as if the dungeon was covered with a library.

“Yeah, right. This is a dungeon a long time ago - to be exact, it was a place near the entrance of some huge dungeon. I modified it and now use it like this.”

“In the basement of the academy…… a dungeon?!”

“Gareth son, you really feel good.”

Rune chuckled at Eud and pounded the refreshment table.

"Well, that's not the only reason it's a secret. In fact, right now, I am not a person who should be in the Academy.”

“So, did you use the pseudonym ‘Rune’? like you?”

"Majesty? Oh, yes, yes. I'm in the same situation as Cherrynia, me too. Not for the same reason as Cherrynia.”

“I, I have to put down the position of royalty in my own way and learn……!”

“Okay, okay, stubborn Chernia.”

"Call me Cherny here, please...!"

Surely, seeing Rune’s actions over and over again made it feel real?

The impression of an older woman was greater than that of her child.

Her body is a child, and her actions are quite bubbly.

Of course, she only looks like a child pretending to be an adult when she just looks.

Soon, Rune sat on the chair and twisted her short legs like a child.

“Anyway- I’m officially a wizard in the 7th dungeon, ‘The Watcher’s Prison’. Actually, you shouldn't be here. Well, it’s a story that has been going on for 10 years already.”

now.

In a very light atmosphere,

There were words that were extremely difficult to pass up.
