"Well, now that Yunvl has said that, what shall we do now?

Of course, what he meant by "he told me" was that I was free to look around the castle town.
　When I went down to the castle town, I found a scene not so different from the human world.

This kind of place is the same as Funsona's territory.

　However, most of the people walking around the city who look like humans are probably gods or angels.
　I explore the city at my leisure, pondering.

　--Funsona and Yunvul.
　Their differing opinions.
　Funsona claims that Yunvul is the great evil, while Yunvul claims the opposite.
　They have different opinions.

If I'm to be believed, they're both lying. ......

　Something is wrong.
　I remembered what they were saying and felt a strong sense of discomfort.
　But now I can't figure out what it is.

"The key is going to be the 'Old Sacred Treasure'.

　What does it look like, and what kind of power does it have?
　I was pondering about the weapon I hadn't seen yet.

　That's when .......

Hmm?

　I stopped in front of a certain building.

　A whitewashed building with a solemn atmosphere.
　This is .......

"A library?

　I guess there are places like this in the Divine Realm.
　It's looking more and more like the human world.

"It's not very promising, but it might have books on the ancient sacred artifacts. Let's take a peek.

　I had nowhere to go anyway.

　I headed straight for the front entrance and tried to go in.
　But.

"Um, ......, this seems to be a gate that identifies visitors.

　When I tried to go through the gate, I was stopped by an invisible barrier.

　At the same time.

I'm not sure what to do.

　At the same time, I heard a voice saying, "Show us your authorization card.

　What does ...... mean by an authorization card?

　I saw other gods (angels?) entering the library. I observed other gods (angels?) entering the library.
　Without exception, they took out a piece of paper ...... that looked like a card and slit it into a nearby machine.
　Then the wards were gone and the gods walked easily into the library.

Apparently, you can't even set foot in the library without that card.

　Is that some kind of card that proves the identity of a god?

　This kind of system also existed in the human world. For example, the system for adventurers is easy to understand. We were students at a magic academy, so we could use our student IDs instead, but it seemed that you couldn't accept requests without an adventurer's license. I guess that's how it works.

　I don't know how to get an authorization card. I was too lazy to look it up.

But I don't need a ...... authentication card. I guess it's better to go through the front door.

　I stepped forward to go through the gate again.
　Normally, an invisible barrier would have prevented me from going any further.

　But...


"Did you think you could stop me like this?


　He held up his hand and tampered with the gate's warding.

　...... Hmm. As I suspected, this gate is operated by something very similar to a magic formula.
　It's encrypted and a bit complicated, but it's easy in my hands.
　The warding disappeared, and I succeeded in getting inside.

　Breakthrough!

"What am I doing at ......?

　I wondered to myself.

　If Marlies were here, she would say, "Please don't be dishonest! "Why are you so dramatic? "Why are you being so dramatic?
　That kind of sharp comedy would not have been seen so often a thousand years ago.

　By the way, I haven't communicated with the girls in the short time since I moved to "go talk to Fanthona".

　I wonder what they're doing now?
　I don't have to worry about them now that Razevala is here, but I'll take a peek at them later.

Now that I've broken into the ...... library, I wonder if I'll find what I'm looking for.

　Inside was a vast place.
　The inside of the library was vast, and the too many bookshelves made it look like a maze.

　There were almost no gaps, and the books were spread all over the place.
　It was a breathtaking sight. I wonder if the number of books in the library is comparable to the large library of the Imperial Disalia Magic Academy.

I'm sorry.
Yes?

　I call out to an angel who seems to be a librarian passing by.

"Do you have any books on the Old Sacred Artifacts?
"The Old Sacred Treasures: ......? How does a young man like you know so much about them?

　The angel seemed to be impressed.
　Apparently, the ancient artifacts themselves are well known among the common gods and angels.

I'm sure you've heard of it.



　I follow the angel.

　And the angel stops at a place.

"This is it. Between here and there are all the books on the ancient artifacts.

　He said.

　At a glance, there must be more than three thousand books.

"So many?
"Hmmm, are you surprised?　The library here is one of the best in the Divine Realm. We boast the largest collection of books in the Divine Realm.

　The angel puffed out his chest proudly.

Thank you. I'll look through them all.
"All?　That's a very interesting thing to say. I wonder how many days ...... or even years it will take me to read through all of these books.

　The angel chuckles with amusement.

You're quite a curious fellow, aren't you?
What's that?
Ancient artifacts are the stuff of fairy tales, aren't they?

　Fairy tales?

What do you mean?
They're so-called non-existent weapons. It's the most famous of all imaginary weapons. I can't believe you're doing all this research on it. ......

　I see.
　Apparently, the ancient weapons were treated as such by the gods and angels in general.
　But Razevala, and even Fanthona and Yunvul, were talking on the premise that the Old Gods were 'real'.

　...... Well, if you read through all these books, you should be able to get some clues.
　Let's try reading them first.

　I took out the first book and started flipping through it.



　One hour later: .......



Oh, you're still here, aren't you?

　The angel who had just told me where I could find the book on the ancient artifacts walks by.

"Oh. It took me a while to get there. It's been a while since I've read anything.
I've been reading for a long time." "Hmmm... ...... So, have you read at least one book?　Or haven't you read one yet?

　The angel asks me with a curious look.

　But what are you misunderstanding?


I've already read all three thousand books here.


　I pointed at the bookshelf and said so.

"What?　What are you talking about?

　The angel looked puzzled.

You can't do that, can you? It's only been an hour or so. It's impossible to read, let alone pick up three thousand ...... books.
"In some cases, I've been able to read a hundred books in the same(...) time. It's easy to read fast this way, isn't it?

　Well, I only had two hands, so I had to use magic to levitate the books.
　I didn't want to stay too long. I did it quickly.

You're funny, after all. You're joking too hard.
"So it's true. ......
"Okay, I get it. That's great. You can read so quickly. I admire you.

　He's reading out loud.
　Apparently, she doesn't believe me at all.

　All I could do was scratch my head as the angel smiled happily at me.
