August 15, 2016Tgurneu
“A vacation?”
In a certain room at Bantorra Library, Noloty Malche raised her voice This happened during the day she returned after recovering fro the Mokkania incident
“You’re taking a vacation, Mirepoc-san?”
“Yes Is that so surprising?”
Mirepoc Finedell answered Why are everyone so surprised, she wondered One takes a vacation when they have things to do It’s normal
“It is surprising… because it’s you”
“Yes, but… why?”
Noloty tilted her head What a strange girl as always, Mirepoc thought
The two of them were in the Are screens, and half of them looked like a private room that had an Armed Librarian desk in it Everyone’s desk was here, with the exception of Hamyuts
However, theinto the Labyrinth or out of Bantorra on some mission Only Mirepoc, Noloty and Minth were in the offices then
“Why are you so surprised?”
Mirepoc asked again Instead of Noloty, it was Minth who answered after hearing their conversation from the side
“Yeah, it’s surprising It’s because you’re a workaholic who didn’t take any days off in three months”
“Right Even at lunch break you always take exactly fifteen minutes, Mirepoc-san”
“Really…”
Everyone told her the sa them so surprised
“Anyway, Minth-san While I’ Noloty’s supervision for you Is that fine with you, Noloty?”
“Yes ma’am”
“Got it”
The two nodded
With this, she finished passing over her work All that re Bantorra Library
“So, where are you going, Mirepoc-san? Back to your hometown?”
Noloty started talking with her Explaining it would be bothersome, but I should probably just tell her
Mirepoc answered,
“Fullbeck Fullbeck in the Ismo Republic”
“So you’re going to have fun?”
“No”
Mirepoc shook her head
“I’ to search for Lascall Othello”
Lascall Othello
Mirepoc first heard that nao She heard about hion Pneu Toas over
Lascall Othello was a fairytale character quietly passed between girls around the world Sooes around selling Books He gathers those Books with an unknoer, and flies around the world with soirls who died without confessing their feelings and deliver them to the person of their affection
Ireia told her there is such a rumor
She also said that perhaps it was the person who chose to give the Book of the Ever-Laughing Witch to her lover across time, Colio Tonies
Mirepoc departed Bantorra Library and went for the harbor The ticket for the flying boat bound for Fullbeck was already in her pocket
“Why are you searching for that Lascall or whatever now?”
Noloty came to her later and asked She came to the harbor to see her off
“Wasn’t this investigated soo and found out to be just a rumor?”
“The investigation was called off in the middle So it’s not yet sure he doesn’t exist”
“The man who sold Books to Colio Tonies was just a plain, unrelated Book-seller”
“That seems to be the case for now”
Mirepoc said in a cold voice
“You don’t believe it?”
Noloty asked Mirepoc nodded
“Thinking rationally, there’s no way a si Witch He’s undoubtedly not an ordinary person”
“…So you think he’s Lascall Othello?”
Mirepoc nodded
“That’s not all There’s also the incident with Mokkania The Indulging God Cult tried taking Haiza’s Book”
“And what about it?”
“Haiza was tasked with thefor Lascall Othello”
“…But, he didn’t ht?”
“Right But perhaps he came close to him”
“…Hmm”
Noloty titled her head
“In other words, Lascall Othello exists and has so God Cult Lascall Othello had shi+ron-san’s Book, and the Indulging God Cult atte Haiza’s Book”
“Yes, that is ”
Noloty thought for a while as she walked
“Aren’t you overthinking this?”
Mirepoc instinctively sighed
“Ah, sorry!”
“…It’s fine, Noloty I’ me that”
Mirepoc held the same conversation with Minth, Mattalast, Enlike and the Director However, no one agreed with her
“Lascall Othello doesn’t exist”
Everyone unanimously told her so with a smile
Therefore, Mirepoc took a vacation Since no-one agreed with her, she will search by herself
“Well, we part here, Noloty”
Noloty stopped walking, and Mirepoc got on the flying boat Ever after they parted, Noloty stood there for a while, tilting her head and thinking
That was ten hours ago
Mirepoc got off the flying boat that brought her froot into town
“Wow”
She exclai a voice of surprise at seeing the city’s streets made her sound like some hillbilly
Visible fro lines of skyscrapers All the buildings that were the size as Bantorra Library were crowded together
The ah-paying jobs like Ar all around the city
The getup of people walking around was also different froood suits of the kind that only someone like Mattalast wore at Bantorra Library Woner suits as if co with each other
Fullbeck was one of the most prosperous cities in the world It was true not only for their econo the world’s best in art and culture as well It didn’t seeo was in the same country at all They appeared to be a whole century apart
“…”
It wasn’t the tiether and started walking While pacing around the streets, she noticed that she looked horribly out of place in her attire She had a military uniform Moreover, it wasn’t one of Ismo’s army
Passersby all shot glances at her She’s shouldn’t worry about public gaze sodirected at her
“Oh dear me!”
While walking, she suddenly heard a voice froed woman dressed luxuriously She had a ridiculous aers She looked like someone covered in insects
“Such a lovely attire! Where did you find it?”
“…Lovely?”
Mirepoc reflexively replied
“Tight clothes are actually quite sexy This androgynous look really fits you Where did you find this?”
The woman talked in an over-familiar manner Mirepoc wondered if this was the norm here
“…This is the uniform of the Guinbex Imperial Army”
Mirepoc honestly answered
“Well now, isn’t that a! Butler! I have decided, I ear this for the next party!”
“Understood, madam”
Her butler calmly bowed
“So, where did you get it?”
