“Well, my purpose is a little bit unusual” (Hiiro)

“What do you mean?” (Eveam)

“The 《Grand Fortunia Library》 is here in this country right?” (Hiiro)

“Yes” (Eveam)

“I came here because I want to receive permission to enter《Basement-5》” (Hiiro)

Truthfully speaking, Hiiro aiting for his companion Liliyn to obtain the permit

“Speaking of 《Baseet there Why do you want to go to such a place?” (Eveam)

“Hah? Isn’t it obvious? I want to the read the books? Is there any other reasons rather than to read?”

“…Eh? You will not sell it?” (Eveam)

She looked at him with a surprised expression, as if she wanted to say “Really?”

“Hah? What et soold out of it?” (Hiiro)

“G-, Generally yes” (Eveam)

“Listen well, I only want to read a rare book It is just an intellectual curiosity I have no interest in things like money” (Hiiro)

“………” (Eveam)

For a while, Eveam was dumbfounded She was surprised at Hiiro’s unexpected words

“Ah, I apologize for that I have received many requests to enter 《Basement-5》, but up to now, most of thier intentions was to steal what is inside, so I unintentionally asked because most people anted it intends to make a profit out of it” (Eveam)

“By uys It is unpleasant” (Hiiro)

Hiiro pouted in displeasure as he sipped his drink again Seeing that sort of Hiiro, Eveaently smiled

“… I see, I mean, I’m really sorry about that I did not consider that there was a person anted nothing but to just read them” (Eveam)

“Isn’t there a thirst for knowledge for the people around here?” (Hiiro)

“Well, there is a similar person like Hiiro in here too However, the people who casually and carefully read books , sadly speaking…… there are only a few of them in reality” (Eveam)

Currently there is a war going on, but sooner or later the countrytheir bodies, and stocking on e, in the same way, Hiiro didn’t care about the people mentioned as he only wanted to read some books

“But don’t you agree that the books are good?” (Eveam)

“Heh, so you love books?” (Hiiro)

Her mutter is heard, as she was asked whether books are her favorite

“Well, when I read a book, it allows me to be so, I can freely spread s” (Eveam)

“ You are saying like you are not free right now” (Hiiro)

She frohen she heard his words

“If you tellhere isn’t an example of your freedom then what on earth is freedom to you?” (Hiiro)

“T-That is…… I don’t usually spend all uide them as the Demon Lord!” (Eveam)

“However, you are a regular custoht?” (Hiiro)

“U…uu……” (Eveam)

At that moment, the shopkeeper itnessed the conversation between two people where Evea and re

“Mou! what is so funny you idiot!” (Eveam)

“F-, Forgivetime since I’ve seen this kind of Demon Lord-sama!” (Shopkeeper)

When the shopkeeper gladly said so, Evealared at Hiiro

“… So you, Hiiro” (Eveam)

“Don’t blame on me” (Hiiro)

“Mu~” (Eveam)

“While it may be true that you’re the Maou, it’s not that bad to assuree?” (Hiiro)

“…Eh?…” (Eveam)

“Although I don’t knohat itabout within the limits of a De a demon lord?” (Hiiro)

“……” (Eveam)

“ In other words, if you want to live that sort of life, you just have to throay your i to become the Demon Lord” (Hiiro)

“I-I cannot do such a thing! The people will lose someone to follow!” (Eveam)

Eveaested such an option

“If that’s the case, don’t you agree you need the capacity to do that? If it’s true that you are the real thing, even if you are ruler who does as she pleases, people will follow if you are a charismatic person” (Hiiro)

“………” (Eveam)

“For the sake of the people and for the sake of the country; that is a splendid ideal However if you cannot move for your own sake, someday you will fall If it’s me, I feel sorry for such a ruler Even if no one follows me, I’ll be fine with it” (Hiiro)

Eveahtly turns her face down

“The people will follow a ruler who does as she pleases…?” (Eveam)

“You ht say it like that, I think you would attain it if you have the ability to become a ruler Well, at the very least, you do not seem to be a ruler in my eyes” (Hiiro)

“Eh?” (Eveam)

“In irl” (Hiiro)

Startled from Hiiro’s words, Eveam’s heart leaped It was as if a sharp arrow pierced her heart No, it’s different She sensed her heart being gripped by sohout her entire body

( An ordinary……young girl) (Eveam)

Although Eveam didn’t notice, her face was dyed in red up to her ears And because of that, the shopkeeper was grinning at her when she saw such a face

“I-, I’irl, I-IIt’s e!” (Eveam)
