Chapter 120

“I seeThe students on the other side of the mirror, huh……”

I shared inforo with Harold

“Can you find out more about Dolores’ circle of friends and cause of death if possible?”

“AaI’m on board, so I’ll take care of it”

With that, I left Harold and opened the door that was set up as the entrance to the reference rooonal study hite as the basic the white crystalline lins of stars and snow

In the center of the rooes and about three arn

There is an ee

Each of them is old-fashi+oned and luxurious

Wooden bookcases are embedded in all five walls except the one with the door

All the bookcases have chains

Every book seems to be specially-s

I pulled out one book and tried to open it, but all the pages were blank

Even the ex libris was blank

No way, are all the books like this?

What does thisof which, the two people who should have entered earlier cannot be found

Where are they?

I looked around and called out for those tho cannot be found

“Klaus-sauste-sauste’s voice could be heard fro fro like a soft white veil

The two of the his hand froht

Klaus, as in the air above hie black leather book in his hand and riting on it

“We’re still investigating it”

“……no way, is this also an infinitely-expanding space using spatial ic?”

“No, it’s different from that of the Infinite CorridorThis is a li”

Klaus also cast Levitation on me and I floated to where the two of the as made of alabaster and had sun and1, this rooical light

Otherwise, this white light looks out of place since it is currently evening

“Perhaps, the books here are all blank?”

“AaAt least the thirty books I have checked were all blank”

Together with Auguste, we pulled out the books nearby and checked the contents

Each one of them was also blank

There were no stains, noeaten by silverfishes2, only beautiful white pages spread out

“With this, there s mixed in here somewhere, huh~”

“It is pretty , Klaus closed the black leather book in his hand

“This space itself seeoThis place is connected to the ley lines associated with prominent authorities of the past” (Klaus)

“Proo?”

“For sohboring territories” (Klaus)

“H territories, there are the County of Wynt, the County of Clochydd and the royal fauste)

I felt like I could derive the answer frouste’s words

Perhaps this place was also under the authority of the County of Wynt

Not saying that Brad Clochydd is off the list, but Dolores Wynt is more likely to be involved

“Ah, I knew that irl was talking about anywhere” (Klaus)

“Regarding that, I have pin-pointed the placeAlthough Dolores, as the successor of the County of Wynt, died a long tio—”

I told theirls on the other side of the mirror, is actually Dolores Wynt and about the secret of Beatrice Glaw’s birth

“So, how do you knohere the irl sihost in the library

She and Beatrice Glaw are very similar

At first I didn’t notice because they have different characters and expressions, but they have the sairl’s expression and the color of her eyes, I ht mistake them as the same person

There is no doubt about their blood relation anymore

Beatrice’s kin, Dolores Wynt, may be involved in the index creation

Perhaps there was a reason why the outward appearance of the index must be the appearance of Dolores Wynt

For example, as a hint about the password

I don’t knohy the index is in another location

Who did it and for what purpose?

However, I can think about it at a later tihost

“Now then, shall we go to the Magic Library tonight to verify the answer one last tiht, the sixth floor of the Magic Library

I spoke to the dimly lit room of the library

“Hey, are you there?”

Schlik

The sound of a thin chain echoed

A hanging girl appeared, lightly floating between the bookshelves

Long dark hair and literally transparent pale skin

Her bright blue eyes were looking down

When she found me, the corner of her mouth raised, a smile that seemed sarcastic showed on her face and her eyes narrowed happily

『What do you want? If it’s yet another boring thing, I’ to be fed up』

The look and the color of her eyes are completely different, but as I had expected, her features are just like Beatrice Glaw’s

With her large alure stood out and she looked even ed looks with Klaus and Auguste and took a step forward

“I came to ask you questionsBut, before that, I would like you to hear my reply”

『Oh my, this is a very late replySo, what is it that you understand?』

“Your creator’s name and your role”

I cut off my words, took a deep breath and continued

“The ical index made by Dolores Wynt is you”

『Oh eGood, I will answer you as much as you’d like』

The artificial spirit, who projected the figure of the dead daughter of an Earl, appeared to be sically

“First, tell me about yourself”

『About me……I’m DoloresI am the artificial spirit version of DoloresI am an artificial spirit with added functionality as an index based on the personality and thought of my 14-year-old creator Dolores WyntI am the excellent librarian of the reference room of the 〈association of Mysterious Story Collectors〉It looks like this is not the reference roo so, Dolores the Artificial Spirit puffed up with pride

“How do I use you?”

『How to use me……ask wiselyAnd I shall answerHowever, questions about the collection of books will require user registrationAlso, don’t ask boring questions』

“Then, please register istration will require your name and a declaration of membershi+p to the 〈association of Mysterious Story Collectors〉』

“Erica, you’re going to register……!?”

I ignored Klaus’ interjection

It is a fact that it has 100 non-survival rate, but I have already been deeply involved in terht noant information for the sake of survival

“I will joinMy name is Erica Aurelia”

『Welcome, EricaTo the 〈association of Mysterious Story Collectors〉』

Having said so, the artificial spirit sentle smile makes her look exactly like Beatrice

“Well then, shall I join too?”

“If you guys register……it can’t be helped, I will also join”

After that, in the order of Auguste and Klaus, they also finished their registration

I talked to Dolores after a few moments of hesitation

“Now then, first of all, could you tell me about the Seven Wonders of this academy?”

『About the Seven Wonders of this academy……the Ghost of the Fallen Boy, the Infinite Corridor, the Man-Eating Mirror, the Stairs to the Underworld, the Evil Spirit of All Souls’ Day, the bloody Saint, and the Morgue of the Headless PrinceAs long as I have recorded, there was no ghost story about a hanging girl』

Morgue of the Headless Prince

There’s finally a connection to the red-leather notebook

But that leaves et added to the Seven Wonders and replace the Morgue of the Headless Prince?”

『To begin with, the Morgue of the Headless Prince is not well-knownI replaced it because I was put in a more prominent place called the library』

“Who ht? I did not even know that I was treated as so of which, I recalled that at the beginning she was angry e treated her like a girl who had hung herself

At that time, I wish I had listened more closely

No, no, there were no hints at that time, so it was iue of the Headless Prince”

『Detailed investigation on the Morgue of the Headless Prince—』

With a triumphant look on her face, Dolores raised her left hand to reach out to so happens

……p-perhaps, because this isn’t the reference room, this would be a vain attempt?

Or, did she freeze because there are nomotionless, Dolores withdrew her hand with a nonchalant air

『I can’t access the s that I can infer from the recorded indexBecause I am very excellent』

Good, it worked

I don’t kno I should proceed froinal location sooner or later

『About the Morgue of the Headless Prince……I believe the ue was supposed to be created only to keep one human corpse as a specimenThere is no mention of its whereabouts in the official records, but the theory is that the entrance is somewhere in the Phanto kept in thebe stored in the Phantolance towards uste threw a question

“That corpse, I nitia?”

『Whether the headless prince is an Ignitian……there are multiple theoriesThere is a theory that it is a prince of Ignitia, a theory that it is a prince froeration for the neorthiness, a theory that it is an intentional misinformation to conceal the truth, and other theories』

“Aside froeration or ate that, huh~……”

Auguste shrugged his shoulders as if saying that he had given up

Then it was Klaus’ turn to ask the artificial spirit

“Why not a speciue instead?”

『The reason it is a ue……because the corpse has not yet reached a state of complete deathIt was strictly sealed to prevent catastrophe of some kindSomeday, when it can be completely killed, the headless prince will be buriedIt’s a temporary storehouse for that』

“Not dead even if it doesn’t have a head……”

Klaus pondered about it with a serious expression and furrowed eyebrows

It’s a rather ominous anecdote

I wonder if it is a corpse with some serious curse

What happened to Chloe’s older brother Claude ent to a place like that?

He should have been waiting for someone, but as that other person and what is that person doing now?

And then, what happened there?

If it is related to the incident fronificance?

Chloe refused to involve others

It’s better not to ask about this anyo with Tirnanog later on?

『For the first time in a while, these are not bad questionsTellelse you want to ask』

Dolores twirled around with a happy expression

Now then, what should I ask?

When I turned uste, they both nodded minutely at me

They seem to concede this chance to me

As a matter of fact, I’ve always had a question that I wanted to ask

“Do you know anything about Frederica Bort?”

The girl with the same face asfor this question
