Chapter 236 Guiding through the Great Library

Argh, pain in the ass

While saying lazy words like that, the first prince of Avalon and the leader of Rank 5 partyWing Road, Nero Julius Elrod was walking within the school premises.

The place he was heading was to the library which not only Royal Spada Academy, but also the country Spada itself boats about. The library, not only had books since long ago, but also the biggest book collection among other countries.

Though it is located as a library of a single school, but everyone calls it Great Library as a part of paying respect.

Damn that Safi, do your document search on your own

The reason why Nero was heading to the Great Library was because he was asked help from one of his party member, Safiel Maya Hydra.

Plain jobs like this are suited more for his too-serious sister, but Nell is currently in classes along with Charlotte, and therefore cannot move freely.

Of course, the sword-wielding muscle-brained Kai is out of question.

So eventually, only Nero, who is good and also has brilliant mind, if only one ignores his attitude to find things bothersome, was the one left.

What is you are of wasting time, right, my ass, I was actually fully enjoying my own free time in my own way

That is what people call wasting time, but looks like Nero was still a child to understand that.

Anyhow, Nero headed to help Safi though while complaining, surely within the bottom of his heart, he might have been feeling tired with boredom.

He might be wanting for a peaceful daily life, but somewhere within his heart a self-contradicting feeling evading boredom, sometimes appears out to torment him as distress.

Oh well, its nothing that sentimental right now.

*Sigh*, so need to find a damn fucking book in this holy shitty big place, eh

Truly depressing, while muttering that, Nero absentmindedly kept on staring the Great Library in front of him.

As the Great Library was made using the conventional architecture techniques, so its outer appearance is just like a temple.

He crossed the corridor with round pillars with white entasis standing on the sides, and arrived in front of a double door, at that time,

Hm, that girl is

Neros red eyes caught sight of a person he has seen.

From the opposite side than himself, a girl was heading towards the front entrance.

The figure of girls wearing uniform was quite a common thing in this Academy, but her short light blue hair, and shining golden eyes, somehow had a divine charm hidden in them.

Nero did remember this girl with a white face and facial features just like a doll.

Hey you, so you were a student of here

Nero called out to the girl who passed by him and put her hands on the door.

Who are you?

The girl asked about his identity, but, seeing the face of the girl once again from up close, he was convinced that it wasnt a wrong person.

She was the girl whom he saved from a dangerous spot after getting called out by 2 skirt chasers in the plaza.

Now that you say that, I didnt name myself at that time, though I thought you might have known me

It was already surprising for Nero to find someone in Spada who didnt know him, but what surprised him more was that she didnt remember him in spite of being saved from trouble at the right time.

Nero only remembers that though he had saved various other girls from stuff like that, but later they approached him passionately and he was fed up from it.

There were also times some girls determined his lineage, though he hadnt named himself, and even pushed into the Avalon Royal Castle.

Do you seriously not remember me?

Yes

Her eyes werent of happiness upon being called by a charming man, but were filled vigilance towards a suspicious person trying to woo her.

If I did something the wrong way, maybe I too would get beaten by the wand just like those two playboys, thinking that Nero decided to choose his words carefully.

1 week ago, werent you being troubled by some playboys from our school?

If this event in itself was on the verge of being forgotten, then even Nero cannot do anything about it.

But,

Ah

There was hope, looks like the Black Gods of Pandora were smiling at him.

So you remember it?

You are the one who was trying to woo me at that time

No, not that one!

Just when he thought they were smiling, it turned out to be a prank by god.

The girls reply was truly above outside of his expectations, and it made him feel vexed upon being grouped with those playboys.

Remember it correctly, when you were quarrelling with those two while hitting them with your wand, I saved you, right?

Yeah, that third playboy was

No, I wasnt the playboy but saved you, didnt I just say, hey remember when I intervened the other two easily backed off, right? OK?

Huh

The girls face still showed no signs of being convinced, while Nero sighed within.

Though she remembered him, but he never had guessed that she would remember him this vaguely.

But, youre quite interesting, whats your name?

Im not someone whose name you should know

Shes getting more interesting, Nero, unexpectedly let out a smile to this girl who was feigning innocence.

Thinking back on it, its the first time he had actually met someone who would take on such a cold attitude to him.

Nero had a high status, good appearance, and ability too, for better or for worse there was no one who would ignore him, at least until now.

Thats why Nero had some interest sprouted towards this girl who was had an indifferent attitude.

Sorry, its manners to name oneself before asking, right. Im Nero, Nero Julius Elrod

Im Fiona Soleil

The girl named herself as that.

Seems like, though she was indifferent she wasnt manner less, seeing her behavior Nero felt a good impression about her.

Incidentally, even after he named his family name, telling her about being a royalty of Avalon, the expressionless face of the girl didnt change even a bit, which Nero felt likeable.

So Fiona, what is the work you have here, in this Great Library? If you want to search for something, I will help you

Though both were helping, but he thought that it would be more worthwhile to help this Fiona who he met just now, rather than helping Safi who would always push him around.

Of course, judging this girls cold attitude so she wouldnt ask anyone, hence he tried to ask her himself.

There is something I would like to ask

However, unexpectedly proactive words came from Fiona.

What is it?

Nero looked straight into the eyes of Fiona, with a spirit saying that he would answer anything other than the state secret of Avalon.

The golden eyes which looked back at him didnt had any emotions wavering, rather he even had a hunch that she could completely see through him.

There must be a place where the prohibited books are place in this library, do you know where it is?

Holy! Thats one damn question, though Neros facial expression remained the same, but inside he was shocked.

However, he had guessed from before that this to-the-end expressionless girl would ask something damned.

Originally the place where prohibited books are sealed is a place students have no work in, and also, it is publicly banned to go in there.

In the first place, the information related to the inner parts of Great Librarys prohibited area is not something mere students would even know about.

Fiona appearance, the expressionless face, seems like it isnt expecting an answer to her question.

And yet, the details of question werent something out of just curiosity.

The right answer here would beI dont know, and even if he did knew about that place he shouldnt tell her.

However, while making his red mantle, the proof of being an elite cadet, flutter and putting the hand on the door, he boldly declared.

Kay, I will guide you, follow me

.

.

.

Around the time the bell of noon rang, Nero finished the guiding of Underworld Great Library in safe health, and they both returned to the entrance.

Well, its something like this, are you satisfied now lady?

Yeah, it made a good reference, thank you very much

Nero made use of his presence detector and evaded the eye s of people, and went around the prohibited Great Librarys deepest parts.

Though he didnt enter the sealed area, but just guided her till the door, after all Fionas request was to tell her about this places position, so he did his job.

Of course, if she wanted to enter that place, then even Nero would have to prepare stuff in advance.

It aint a prohibited sealed area for show, there are barriers for sensing intruders and stopping casted over in multitude.

Fortunately, the patrol of security guard isnt that much, so one can enter without being noticed by others.

But for that, quite a bit of magical ability is needed for both the person themselves and also the Magic Item for breaking through barriers.

The people who could do that would only be some people in the whole academy including Nero, at least it is impossible for Fiona, a person at the level who loves beginners wand, to even try to intrude here.

Just for your information, dont try to enter that place, its still good if you get caught, but if you are caught by some nasty barrier then it wont end on the level of just being hurtful

Still, he thought of hammering down the nail sticking out.

Eh? Yes, youre right, and I wasnt thinking of entering that place

Nero thought his warning would go useless, but there was nothing more he could say for now.

Well, if something occurred he would do something about it, or so he thought while being overly positive.

By the way, its already noon, wanna come to the School Cafeteria? I will treat you?

No, its fine

Fiona denied his invitation, thinking back this is the first time to even be rejected upon being invited.

Rather than a shock he was just lightly surprised, and he again understood that Fiona isnt the sort of girl who would fawn over him, and this made him more elated.

I see, thats unfortunate

Well then, I will take my leave now

Like that, Fiona boldly left the library, as if not she wasnt even regretting the fact that she rejected his invitation.

Nero sent her off while watching the cool and cold Fionas back with a wry smile on his face.

You got dumped magnificently

Suddenly he was called out to from behind.

Safi, eh

Turning back, he saw the first person he made promise with, Safiel, standing there.

Its the first time Ive seen you being treated coldly by a girl

Yeah, right

Having the truth pointed out, Nero let out a bitter laugh.

But, wasnt she a great girl?

I dont care

Safi turned her head away as if not interested and continued saying, so its like that.

Well then, if there is an explanation about why you broke my promise and played with another girl, I would like to hear it

Ah

Nero reaction just now was about the fact that he forgot, rather than the promise, but what would await him if he broke the promise.

It is, you see, that

What?

It was more interesting to be besides Fiona

He didnt find any good excuses, so he tried to confess the truth.

I see, Ive heard your words loud and clear

Like that Safi, while smiling, touched her glasses.

The glasses which had the work of sealing the power present in those eerie purple eyes,

Demon EyesRelease

Were removed.

Im really very sorryyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

While regretting that next time he would deceive in a better way, Nero shouted the words of apology to Safi.

AUTHORS NOTE:

Everyones lovable handsome Prince Nero made his appearance! This time too he acted like a gentleman!!
