Because he didn’t hear any news of Avoros’ conspicuous movements, he intends to continue remaining silent.
As for without doing anything and watching the duel till the end, his purpose might be confirming their war potential. In that way he can plan thoroughly and when victory is ensured, he will give that announcement again.
(Nay, that is a Demon Lord Template. There is a possibility that he will attack without notice……or……)
With that Demon Lord, you can’t expect courtesy like notifying them about the war.
(Well, that’s why the Demon Lord is always thinking of precautions against it every single day, but……)
Still, it is possible for him to pass, even through a hole in a needle. From the time being, when they started exchanging large information with the [Gabranth], Avoros’ companions seems to have attacked them resulting to serious damages, and it he heard that their discussions are not coming up with anything.
Following a pattern, Hiiro closes his book, and turned his attention to the book wound up like a scroll located on his left side.
“I looked over it lightly just in case, but is this the only thing that seems useful?”
He thought, picking the roll with his hand. And when he opened the contents quickly,
“……but the fiery zeal isn’t in the original pattern”
He rolled back the scroll again while saying so, then put it in his bosom. He also took a permit to take out books just in case, but on the condition that it must not be shown to others excessively.
This room contains mouth-dripping abundance of knowledge, to the extent that you will be thrilled being unable to decide which to choose because of the excitement.
There is a great diversity of books ranging from the introduction to the composition of this world, the biographies of past heroes, and even countless ancient magic written down and recorded to keep your butt from being lifted from the chair.
And also as expected, there are also banned books which were concealed by the country. Hiiro however, is looking for a book which has something recorded by all means.
And that book, is the scroll which he put in his bosom. He searched for it, judging that he will need it when the time comes.
(Though I have read it for some time, it won’t activate probably as long as I don’t speak it out loud……”)
His first objective is obtained for the time being, but he have not been able to completely decipher the knowledge yet. With a happy sense of accomplishment obtaining such knowledge, Hiiro suddenly felt a presence.
(Who……? But only those who are given permission are allowed to come here……)
And the only one permitted is Hiiro. Therefore, Lilyn should not be able to come. That means, it is someone related to the Demon Lord.
He stood up slowly, not lowering his guard, directing a sharp glance towards the only entrance.
Clacking sounds echoed the floor, finally reaching his sight.
“……You are……”
The one who appeared there, was the Cruel , Ornorth. With the face of a wolf, this [Evila] showing up in such darkness invites horror into your eyes.
TN NOTE: He’s supposed to be a really scawy werewolf, but the manga designed him like a looney tunes character. They RUINED IT.
But because he didn’t feel any hostility coming from him, he judged that he’s probably asked for a summoning from the Demon Lord.
“What do you want?”
He said, putting up an air of superiority. Then after a light pause,
“I want you to hear something from you”
It doesn’t seem to be a summoning from the Demon Lord, apparently.
As a matter of fact, he had mostly guessed what he’d like to hear about. Rather, he asking these things was just good for him.
“But, how dare you to litter the whole place”
He looked at the state of the room in astonishment, then leaked out a sigh in his messy situation.
“Oh, these? Whatever. Since I can do this immediately”
Concentrating magic on the index finger of both hands,
BOOKS『書物』 and ORDER『整頓』
Writing it, then activating it immediately, the books which were scattered on the floor returned to the shelves by their own. Ornorth stared at such a spectacle with his mouth agape.
After a while, the surroundings were put into order as if the mess a little while ago was a lie.
“……I really still can’t keep myself from being surprised by you”
With his breath being taken away, he restlessly stared at the arranged bookshelf.
“So, what do you want me to hear?”
“Ah y-yeah, about that”
Then, making a serious face,
“You, you can use , right?”
