Chapter 27: Everything Concerning Grimoires
I returned inside the library.
Snow was falling outside with my magic, but nothing had changed inside.
A wonderful space where there are tens of thousands of mangas.
It was just like a manga cafe.
Until the snow outside stops, I should read manga for a while, I thought.
I stood in front of the nearest bookshelf, and glanced through their covers.
I was quite excited. Because almost all of the Grimoires are ones that I hadnt read before.
I took one that I had not read before, and the time when I was going to read it.
Youre a new face huh
Un?
I was called out, so I looked to my side.
There was one old man there.
Wearing normal clothes, he was holding a broom and a dustpan.
I wonder if he was a janitor.
As usual, I answered in child-mode.
Nice to meet you, I am Lucio Martein
Ohh, then you are that Lucio-sama, the new administrator of this library
Yes, what about Ojii-san?
Please call be Abe
Abe-san desu ne. Please take care of me
I took a quick glance to the Grimoire that I took out, and looked around the library.
What is the matter
A-no-ne, where should I read this, I thought
Where?
Un, something like a sofa, or a chair would be nice, I thought. I thought I wanted to sit there and slowly read the Grimoire
When I said that, Abe-san was very surprised for some reason.
His eyes on his wrinkled face was widened, and was staring at me.
Did I, say something weird?
Abe-san whats the matter?
Administrator-san think of interesting things
Is that so? Its a library right, wouldnt you want a place to have a seat and read?
If it was a normal library, then that is true. But this is the Grimoire Library where Grimoires are stored, they are all Grimoires that would take from months to years to read, theres no meaning even if there are chairs and sofas
Ah!
When I think about it, that was right.
I almost forget since I was able to read normally, but the almost all of the people of this world cannot read manga.
As Abe-san had told, one book would normally take several months, some may take years. I guess thats true that with that, chairs arent needed in this library.
I seene, do you think its okay if I bring my own chair
Lucio-sama is administrator-sama, so that much is
Thank goodness. Then, I have to find a good chair and sofa huh, Im going to read this much Grimoires, the chair that Im going to sit on during that should be good
Are you planning to read everything
Abe-san was still surprised.
Un! Theres this much of them, I have to read it. Its exciting right, to be able to read Grimoires this many as much as I want
Lucio-sama likes studying huh
Maybe
I laughed wryly.
I think so. In everyone that I have met until now, they all felt as if reading Grimoires was mortification
Mortification, huh. Well, theyre forcefully reading what they couldnt read, so maybe its mortification.
But yeah, if I think of it as reading every manga in a manga cafe, it might be a little be mortifying.
But Ill still do my best and read it though.
The manga here, the more I read them, the more I can learn magic, so mortification or whatever, Ill do it.
A person like Lucio-sama is the first time
Was that so
I cannot read Grimores, but I will support Lucio-sama from the shadows
Thanks, Abe-san
I said thanks.
From Abe-san, I had the same feeling with Ojii-san on our family mansion.
Making a kind smile, it was almost just like the same with an Ojii-san who treats his grandchild kindly.
Maybe, Im a Jijii-killer. I dont feel bad.
While thinking about that and tried to read the next manga, the librarys door was opened widely.
A middle-aged man who was wearing a splendid attire opened it. That man was having a serious look, but when he looked here, he clearly was relieved.
This is bad
Said Abe-san who was beside me. What is bad?
The middle-aged man, while catching his breath, sounded his footsteps while he approached.
And, he stood in front of Abe-san who was beside me.
I was looking for you, your majesty
Your majesty?!
I was very surprised and looked at Abe-san. Abe-san was like *YareYare*, and sighed with a troubled face.
And soon after, his air changed.
From the air of a very friendly janitor Ojii-san, to a nobles air that had a majestic aura.
His appearance hadnt changed, but it was as if he was a different person.
Your majesty, he saidcould you be, the King?
Umu. I am the King of Savoya, Abraham the Third de aru
No way, is hes really the king!
I am sorry for hiding my identity. I had heard from Ruby, but I wanted to actually see what kind of person you are with my eyes
I-Is that so
In reality, its good that I met you. You are a more wonderful child than what Ruby had talked about
Thank you very much
I was praised very much, it looks like hed really had taken a like to me.
And that Abe-santhe King, looked towards the middle-aged man.
Hugo
Ha!
Gather artisans, to make this child leisurely read Grimoires inside the library, make a space where he can read comfortably
As you wish
Also, I will grant all of the authority that the royal house have concerning with Grimoires to this child. Make the draft for the imperial rescript
This time he looked towards me, and said.
Lucio
Nani?
As you have heard. I will leave this whole Grimoire Library to you. Everything of it
Can I buy new Grimoires?
I remembered what Ojii-san had asked of me, and asked.
Hahaha. Of course, collect all as you want
Waaai, thank you!
It was a little exaggerating in the child-mode, but I was simply happy.
Not only what is here, I was happy that they would increase.
Looking at me being joyful, the King made a kind smile.
As Ive thought, it was the same feeling with Ojii-san that was on our family home.
Your majesty
Hugo said to the King with a serious face.
What is it
If it would be all authorities concerning Grimoires, a Baron rank be needed at least
Then make him a Baron
As you wish
Ehhhhhhhh?
That is, could that be?!
The King, deepened his smile and made a pleasant smile towards me.
