Chapter 68 (1/2)

CHAPTER 68 – TREASURE, GOT IT

In the mansion, afternoon.

Reading Grimoires while relaxing on the sofa in the living room. Books were piled up on top of the table, and on the side, there’s the juice and snacks prepared by Amanda-san.

The snacks are Amanda-san’s home-made potato chips. There wasn’t a dish like this in this world, but she made it when I explained it to her.

Amanda-san, amazing.

「U〜n, happiness〜」

I read Grimoire with the golden pair for reading manga called juice and potato chips.

I used『Replace』to make the season in the room as spring, so it is comfortable.

I read Grimoire.

After I finished reading one, I reached out to the next.

I learned magic, but the reason why I didn’t test that right away, was because it was a series.

A series strengthens the same magic; in the case before, I learned magic arrows, and the more I learn from the series, the more arrows I can use.

2 arrows in the first volume, 3 arrows in the second volume, 5 arrows in the third volume; just like that, the number that I can shoot at the same time increased, and when I finished reading all 20 volumes, I was able to shoot 71 arrows at the same time.

And since there was a happening like that, I thought of reading completely these 10 volumes of manga/Grimoire that I took from the library.

「A-re?」

The second volume of the Grimoire that should’ve been the second volume, was a completely different book.

I took the other Grimoires that I placed on the table.

The first volume that I finished the volume, the volumes that are piled up, the third volume, fourth volume, fifth volume, sixth volumeーー.

The series, only volume two was missing.

「Khu! I can’t read with this」

For the first time in this world, I fell into the situation where I can’t read manga.

To read the third volume skipping the second volume, no way.

The pent-up feelings reading the third volume where the story is disconnected, and the spoilers would probably attack me.

「It can’t be helped, I should go take the second volume」

“Ha〜”, I let out a sigh.

Even so, why did something like this is mixed within? In the first place, what is this?

Since I already went my way on taking it, I thought of reading this one-off first before returning it.

I thought of that, and opened the pages, but.

「Mu?! This is」

「A-re〜, that, maybe it is a treasure map?」

Did she come in without me noticing, Nadia who was peeking from behind said.

As she had said, that was something like a treasure map.

At the least, it is not a manga/Grimoire. After all.

「Fumu, fumu, Lucio-kun, this, isn’t it La Linea?」

Nadia immediately read it.

I have yet to meet somebody in this world who is able to read Grimoires easily other than me.

Since Nadia was able to read it easily, it means that it is not a Grimoire.

It means, it is a normal treasure map.

「A treasure map huh〜. Isn’t it exciting, Lucio-kun!」

「I guess so」

「I’ll go search for it a bit!」

She took the book where the treasure map is written as if to steal it, and Nadia jumped outside.

She’s as active as usual.

「Coco〜, come here for a bit〜, we’re going to search for something〜」

Nadia’s loud voice that I could hear from outside. It looks like she’s taking dog-eared girl Coco with he

r.

On top of being active, she might be also quite an intellect.

Well then, what should I do

「I’m back……」

「So quick!」

Nadia returned seeming sad and her shoulders drooping.

「What happened?」

「Coco」

「Coco?」

What happened with Coco?

「It was here, the place that the treasure map was pointing to」(TL: Kokoここ/cocoココ = the first one means ‘here’, and Coco is mofumofu)

Ahh, you mean like that.

I mean, it was pointing at this mansion huh.

I received the map from Nadia.

I concentrated reading it, and it’s true that it was pointing to this mansion.

「It seems like it’s buried under this mansion. I mean, isn’t it already gone, this」

「Un. If it’s in the mansion, it’s already gone. Coco said」

「……does she usually dig in the garden or something」

She’s a dog after all, Coco.

「Uu〜, too bad, I wanted to treasure hunt」

「……you want to? Treasure hunting」

「Eh?」

Nadia got surprised, it was written on her face that she couldn’t understand what I said.

I came to the mansion’s garden with Nadia.

「『Dream Search』」

When I casted that magic, one piece of a map appeared in front of me.

The corners were tattered, and it really seemed like a map.

「This is?」

「A treasure map」

「A treasure map? This, our house?」

Nadia looked at the map and the mansion alternately.

「Yeah」
