"I'd better wait at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info」

"Please, please wait a minute, Celestial! It's true that the atmosphere of the Interstellar Universe and the Infinite Library is not friendly to earthlings, but I have a perfect countermeasure!"

"Aside from being slashed?"

"Well, okay, wait for me."

Hearing Doudou say this, Katir began to fumble in the pockets of her uniform.

Then take out a small bottle from your pocket. That's about one size larger than the usual pick-me-up drinks in convenience stores, but one size smaller than canned drinks. The bottle is dark brown, probably to avoid sunlight.

"What's that?"

"Is this one? It is the mead of gold."

「…… Huh?"

"Space vehicles can unceremoniously accelerate even when carrying ordinary people, so in order to avoid physical and mental blows to passengers, it is necessary to drink this liquid."

In a less euphemistic way, it is motion sickness medicine.

"There is no alcohol, and it only has a little calorie, so even people who can't drink alcohol can drink it with confidence."

Golden mead for health, sounds very peculiar.

Doudou took the small bottle handed out by Katir and looked at the label casually.

Vitality continues to be replenished, golden honey.

Bright logo, goddess pharmaceutical.

"Can I throw this thing away?"

"Of course not, please bear with it."

Katir replied with a grim answer.

As a last resort, Doudou turned the cap of the small bottle. With a crisp snapping sound, the Golden Mead was opened.

As if in a science classroom, Doudou did not smell the taste directly from the bottle, but smelled it with the palm of his hand.

In terms of taste, it's not a strange smell. Although it has an inexplicable aroma peculiar to refreshing drinks, it is not a choking or rancid taste, which makes Doudou feel at ease for the time being.

After all, Katir has a history of using the meat of the Grand Duke of Hell as an ingredient.

「…… Rest assured, that's not poisonous. It's a taste that even weak, poor, ignorant and incompetent humans can drink, so it."

"How dare I do it right away! It's the so-called goddess pharmaceutical stuff yes! Just hanging the title of a goddess makes people feel super suspicious."

Along with the earth, mead is also produced, and larger liquor stores or agents will also sell it.

However, there is no guarantee that this golden mead will be brewed in the same way as the earth, and it is likely that it will be made from a completely different material, perhaps something that has not yet been regulated.

Since it was handed to Doudou in this situation, it shouldn't be a harmful substance no matter what, right?

But though I'm not to be proud of, this goddess of waste seems to have some kind of purpose for me, so she shouldn't be harmful to me now.

However, even if Doudou deduces so, it does not mean that he is mentally acceptable.

What to do?

What to do?

"Celestial Language...... No, isn't that so? If you don't dare to drink it, should you use this method?"

"Huh? How?"

Hearing Doudou's inquiry, Katier covered the corners of her mouth and looked away, her white and soft cheeks dyed a blush for some reason.

is obviously a waste goddess with a super nasty personality, but she puts on an attitude of twisting and pinching, wanting to talk and stopping.

She occasionally sneaked a look at Doudou, but lowered her head again as soon as her eyes met.

Doudou inexplicably had a bad premonition.

"That, that is, first of all, let me drink it."

"What did you drink? Ah, you seem to have said that you are prone to motion sickness, do you even get motion sickness when you drive?"

"No, it's not!"

"Then why are you drinking?"

"That...... Mouth-to-mouth ...... Hey, ......."

Grunt, grunt, puff.

Doudou didn't hesitate to drink the Golden Mead D in one gulp.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

The drink has a sweet and sour taste like a acerola cherry and a pleasant aftertaste, which is quite delicious. And it doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on the body, which makes Doudou breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

「…… Whining...... Celestial ...... It's really bad......

"In your condition, this is not the level of a bad eye."

Katir held her index finger and burst into tears, while Doudou told her directly.

It's like a super beautiful goddess when she doesn't speak, but occasionally she thinks about a lot of strange things like an illness, and it's really a tricky creature.

「！ Ah, by the way, Tianyu, please give me the empty bottle that you have drunk."

Katier smiled and flattened her palms and stretched out to Doudou. Doudou placed the empty bottle on her porcelain-white hand...... It's impossible.

"Katir, what are you going to do with the empty bottle?"

"Recycling! Even the universe is in a state of lack of resources. Therefore, the Golden Mead is not made with a small amount of liquid in it, but in its bottle, and as long as you pour water back into the bottle, you can have Golden Mead again."

"Honestly?"

"This is something that Tianyu has drunk, and Reinin can kiss indirectly."

"Lingyin, I'll leave this to you."

With a parabolic trajectory, Tianyu threw the empty bottle to Lingyin, who had become a flame man next to him.

「…… Siss."

After Lingyin said this inexplicable sentence, she snapped her fingers, and the small bottle flew into the air and began to burn. This limited-range burning fireball evaporated and disappeared without a trace before it could fall to the ground by gravity, returning to complete nothingness.

"You, what are you doing, Reine! That's what I specially prepared! Give it back to me!!"

Boom!

Doudou's elbow hits the back of Katil's neck.

"I've seen through what your mind is up to."

"Woo...... Tianyu, why, I'm obviously helping!"

Katir was in tears. Although the corners of her eyes are dry.

That's when —

「…… Whoa, hmm!"

A strong drowsiness suddenly hit Doudou. It's not as simple as an afternoon course after lunch, or a return train to the beach after a swim, but a powerful san demon that can make you lose consciousness in an instant if you are careless.

"Well, it's going to be."

"What, what......"

"This is the effect of Golden Mead. If you suddenly fly into the universe, it will be troublesome if you have a violent fluctuation or some unnecessary thing, so the user will fall asleep temporarily."

"This, this, this......

"Yes. Don't worry, you'll be in the Infinity Library when you wake up, so Celestial Whisper can rest assured that she will sleep in the arms of the Dark Flames—how is that possible!"

Doudou struggles to get rid of the Sandman and tries to beat the Katier, but the over-reluctance only increases the drowsiness.

I felt that my whole body gradually lost strength, and my feet could not be steady, and I was about to lose my footing.

Consciousness was suddenly interrupted for a moment.

Doudou's body is tilted sharply.

Burst!

Some kind of slight impact is felt in the upper body. I thought I was on the ground, but it wasn't as hard to the touch as the ground.

Not just more elastic than earth, but most importantly warm, and not smelling earth at all, but smelling an aroma. The gentle aroma that relaxes the chest makes Doudou feel a little more comfortable.

「…… Tianyu, don't force it, go to sleep."

"Huh? Ling, Yin?"

His eyelids were as heavy as lead and he couldn't open them, and Doudou only knew that it seemed that Lingyin was holding his body.

"Wait, Reine! It's my job! Don't you want to win the favor of Tianyu!"

"Kat, Katir...... It's so long-winded!!"

"Hehehehe!!"

What a bunch of guys who can't stand it.

Limits have been reached in every way. According to what was just said, this drowsiness came from the medicinal effect of the Golden Mead, and it seemed to be a necessary preparation for traveling through the universe and going to the Infinite Library. Then let's sleep obediently, Katir is tired of hearing her voice anyway.

Thinking of this, Doudou committed himself to the rushing Sandman and lost consciousness.

***

"So...... Is this it?"

Doudou took a slight breath and stared at the scene in front of him.

In front of me is a huge building that obscures most of the view.

At first glance, it is reminiscent of an impregnable castle or fortress.

I'm afraid it's ......

"Yes, this is the Infinite Library."

It seems so.

Looking up, the universe and the stars are shining brightly. I don't know if it's because it's late at night, or if there's really no air.

In any case, since Beanie can breathe in the world beyond Earth, it means that Golden Mead has some effect.

Alien props are really a convenient setting.

"Then again, how much time did it take us? Remember that the Earth is four universes away from the sixth galaxy, right?!"

Doudou looked at the space vehicle parked behind everyone and asked.

"Nine-eighth. This is the time when space comes to the sixth galaxy."

"It takes so long? According to the setting, isn't the time it takes for this thing to travel back and forth between different stars in the vacuum universe as fast as it is close to teleportation?"

「…………」

「…………」

「…… Tianyu is really, of course, because I'm worried about you and Reinin's fragile bodies, so I drive Luo safely!"

"It makes sense, but you pause. That's what you just came up with, right?"

Hearing Doudou ask such a question, Katir whistled and looked away openly.

By the way, she hummed a tune like a sharp steel wire would fly somewhere, and I wish she hadn't blown it again. By the way, when did this guy learn to whistle?

"This—this kind of thing doesn't matter! Remember why we're here!"

"I didn't forget, I wanted to pay back the book you forgot to return, right?"

"Hmm...... In general, in short, roughly in line."

Anything is rough, and this is only the purpose.

Under Doudou's fierce glare, Katir showed an embarrassed expression and took out a book from her uniform pocket.

It was supposed to be a borrowed book from the Infinity Library, and she did bring it.

If Katir said at this time that she forgot to bring the book, Doudou didn't have the confidence to make Katier get out of the way.
