Part 1

After going through and past many narrow alleys and corners

At far deep, inside where even the hustle and bustle of the main street couldn’t be heard anymore

At a dead-end buried inside a , there was the door of that antiquarian bookshop

When the rusted door was opened, the peculiar moldy smell released by old books pierced the nose

But, the young boy didn’t even stop to pay attention and entered inside the shop

And then he went past the book shelves lined with old books with moldy smell

There, a dark-skinned youth staring at a paperback book with a bored look was beside an antiquated looking register

Perhaps sensing a huaze at the young boy―

Immediately, the youth expressed a wide smile

{Hey! We ain Boy!}

But… such power is too much to be possessed by an [individual]

[Society] undoubtedly wouldn’t permit such [individual]

Hm? You asked why I understand that kind of matter?

Of course I understand After all I have observed all of you for several centuries

Nothe demons for the sake of humanity, no matter how much blood dyes your body, there will be no one that would look back at you There is no blessing at the end where you are going What ait for you is only rejection and persecution Even so, will you still seek the power of this book I wonder?}

In his eyes, a strong will resided
