Chapter 27: Everything Concerning Grimoires

I returned inside the library.

Snow was falling outside with my magic, but nothing had changed inside.

A wonderful s.p.a.ce 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 hadn’t read before.

I took one that I had not read before, and the time when I was going to read it.

「You’re 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 what’s the matter?」

「Administrator-san think of interesting things」

「Is that so? It’s a library right, wouldn’t 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, there’s 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 that’s true that with that, chairs aren’t needed in this library.

「I see……ne〜, do you think it’s 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, I’m going to read this much Grimoires, the chair that I’m going to sit on during that should be good」

「Are you planning to read everything」

Abe-san was still surprised.

「Un! There’s this much of them, I have to read it. It’s 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, they’re forcefully reading what they couldn’t read, so maybe it’s mortification.

But yeah, if I think of it as reading every manga in a manga cafe, it might be a little be mortifying.

But I’ll 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, I’ll 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」
