Episode 9 The Borrowing House in the World
Closing the book, I stretched.
So far, I've read all the books I borrowed from Suzuna-an.
Many of them are quite interesting, and many of them are foreign.
That is, books that flow in from the present world.
I don't know how the little girl got so many books from the outside world.
But it's convenient for me.
The little ones weren't here today, but they weren't going to visit Reddy, they were going to see the little mermaid.
A few days ago, I didn't know where to hear the wind and came to verify it with me, and after that, the news that the nameless lake was inhabited by the legendary mermaid quickly spread.
At first, I was worried about whether this would affect Wakarohime's life, but then I realized that she didn't seem to hate people coming to her, and could even say that she had some fun.
After all, it's still a bit lonely to always stay alone in the lake. It's the best thing to have someone to talk to her.
As long as they don't attack themselves.
Seeing this situation, I won't say anything.
There are fewer noisy guys around, and reading books has become much smoother.
"Alright, it's time to return the books. ”
By the way, look for it again, and there are those that I haven't seen.
Kazuko said that they would not come back for dinner at noon, and left Hades Island.
============================= divider =============================
"We're back. ”
Marisa had barely reached the door when she shouted.
I haven't come back after so many days, and I'm still a little nervous somehow.
After half a ring, I didn't see a single person come out of the house.
The envisaged scenario did not happen.
"Huh?"
Marisa and Alice looked at each other, both feeling a little strange.
Isn't everyone at home?
At that moment, a head came out of the window on the second floor.
"Oh, you're back!"
It's light, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, and he seems to be cleaning the room.
"We're back. ”
Finally, there are still people at home, and they are finally not so depressed.
"Wait, I'll come down now. ”
Bare retracted her head, and it wasn't long before she ran out of the door, dressed in a white maid's suit.
"Why is it just you?
"Everybody's gone, and the master has just left. ”
Just ten minutes earlier, two groups of people happened to miss it.
"Oh!!, and I'm not at home!"
It's really annoying! Even if they're not there, everyone doesn't seem to care at all, and they still live their own busy lives!
Hikari turned his head and noticed that in addition to Marisa and Alice, there was another person who had also arrived, and was currently circling around the "Crossing Gate" that had migrated here.
"Is the succubus-sama here too?"
"Well, because I heard about Hades Island, I also came back. ”
Hades, the island where they stood now.
And the name of the castle is Judiga.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of interesting things! Hurry up, take me somewhere else right away. ”
The succubus floated over and said excitedly.
"Succubus-sama, we just came back, let's rest first!"
It's all the way back, and Marisa is so tired that she wants to find a place to lie down.
"Well, okay. ”
Anyway, I have a lot of time, so it doesn't matter if I go later.
And the succubus also heard that the man was not at home now, which made her feel a little bored.
"Then please come with us!"
The maid walked ahead and led the succubi into the castle.
============================= divider =============================
After almost a week of rain, it finally came to an end.
The sun shone on the earth for the first time in a long time, but the air still felt humid due to the rain that had been falling for too long.
It didn't take long to fly, and soon, you could see the world.
Located in a secluded corner of the village, Suzuna-an, a library borrowing house, I stumbled upon while wandering around.
The person in charge of the place is a girl named Motoi Kosuzu, who rarely goes out, and she has never even been seen attending festivals in the village.
As far as Barnyard Aqiu said, it's a bit of a strange girl.
The library has been open for many years, and it looks very old, with two coarse curtains hanging down to the ground, which act as a gate. The three big characters "Suzuna-an" hanging on it, the word "an" is crooked, and it looks like it will fall off in a short time.
The curtains have bells on them, and when they are pushed open, they jingle and jingle with a clanging sound.
The lack of airy windows makes the interior a little dim.
Facing the doorway, at the end of the room, there was a long desk, and a red-haired girl in a plaid kimono sat in the back, her head bowed, as if looking at something.
On one side of the table is a pen holder and brush, and on the other side is an old gramophone.
The other party seemed to be so fascinated that I didn't even notice I was in.
I walked straight over and placed all the books I had borrowed on the table.
It wasn't until this moment that the girl noticed my cunzài.
She looked up at me, and her eyes were still reddish behind the lenses.
I guess I'm staying up late again!
"Lord, Lord!"
Honju Xiaoling didn't expect that the person who came was actually him, so he hurriedly stood up, and the small bell hanging on his head made a rapid crisp sound.
"I'm here to return the book. ”
I said, my eyes subconsciously focused on the book on the table.
Well, it looks like a book I've never seen before!
Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it an essay.
The handwriting is beautiful, and it should be from the hands of women.
As if sensing my gaze, Motoi Kosuzu subconsciously picked up the book and quickly hid behind him.
Hey, you didn't let me read it, what kind of book is it?
The other party always looked behind him, which made the girl a little nervous.
"Yes, by the way, I recently got some foreign books, I wonder if adults are interested in reading them?"
In order not to let him discover his secret, Motoju Xiaosuzu hurriedly said.
It's a shame I can't be the first reader of those books.
"Oh, really? Then I'd be respectful and obey. ”
Of course I understand that the other party wants to divert my attention.
Still, she succeeded.
Because those new books really hooked me as well.
"Wait a minute, please. ”
Honju Kosuzu bent down and brought up a stack of books from under the table, probably a dozen or so books!
"Thank you. ”
I was not polite, and walked to the other side with the books in my arms.
There is also a table on the left side of the borrowing room, which is set up for people who read books in the room, such as Aqiu Awa, who is in the room.
Watching the other party walk away, Motoju Xiaoling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out the notebook hidden behind her and blushed.
It would be humiliating to find out that you were actually looking at this kind of thing.
It was a novel she stumbled upon near the geyser.
A romance novel.
At first, Honju Kosuzu only watched it with an indifferent attitude.
The beginning of the novel is not very well written, and it is even a bit childish. But with the gradual development of the plot, the author's writing has also improved a lot. The new content made her unable to extricate herself in an instant, and gradually fell into it.
The novel is not printed, but entirely handwritten, with neither a title nor an author's signature.
Probably the other party secretly wrote it, and didn't want it to be seen by others.
However, thinking about the fact that I am also afraid of being known about reading romance novels, Motoi Kosuzu also understands the author's thoughts a little.
Even if there's nothing unhealthy about the content, it's still embarrassing to talk about.
Ah, it would be nice to know who the author is, Motoi Kosuzu really wants to visit each other.
Given that someone else was here, she suppressed her desire to continue reading and hid the novel.
"Oh, by the way, you have to pour a cup of tea for Lord Dongfang. ”
It's rude to forget about such an important thing.
If her parents found out, they would definitely blame her.
The girl ran quickly into the inner room, and after a while, she came out with a cup of tea.
walked to the table at the other end, only to find that Dongfang Yao was not here.
Hey, have you already gone back?
"Lord Dongfang. ”
Honju Xiaosuzu put down the tea and shouted loudly.
"Here!"
Behind a bookshelf, a man's head popped out.
Oh, so I went looking for other books.
"Lord Dongfang, I brought you tea. ”
"Oh, just put it there. ”
After speaking, Dongfang Yao shrank back behind the bookshelf.
"What are you doing?"
Although the girl was very concerned, she did not dare to come forward to see what was going on.
After all, she is not very familiar with each other.
Honju was stunned for a while, and finally returned to his place.
It's just that her heart can't calm down a little, and from time to time she will stretch her neck to look over there.
After a while, I saw Dongfang Yao appear with a bunch of books, he opened the books one by one, flipped through them quickly, and finally even took out a pen and paper, writing and drawing on them, not knowing what he was doing.
"What the hell are you doing?"
The girl's curiosity grew stronger and stronger, and she became a little restless.
"Jingle bells. ”
A bell rang, and someone came again.
"Suzu, are you there?"
As soon as the visitor entered the house, he immediately shouted.
"Is it Barnyard Lord? I'm here!"
"Oh. ”
Hearing the voice, the person who slowly walked over to this side was none other than Barnyard Aqiu.
"Hey!"
She put the pile of scrolls in her arms on the table.
Motoju picked up one of the rolls, opened it and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but look happy.
"Oh, is it all done?"
"Well, yes, the transcripts of the interviews are all in there, so please print them and bind them as much as you can. ”
Barnyard Aqiu took a few breaths, it was still a bit difficult to move them so far away by himself.
"Okay, it's all on me. ”
The girl readily agreed, and she was very willing to serve if she could contribute to the other party.
Moreover, in that case, she could be the first reader of "Seeking Hearing Dictation".
"Well, is anyone else coming?"
Seeing the books on the other side of the table, Barnyard Aqiu asked curiously.
"It's Lord Dongfang. ”
"Oh, is Your Excellency the East here too?"
As soon as he heard that it was the other party, Barnyard Aqiu immediately became happy.
"He's over there!"
Motoi Kosuzu pointed to the place where Dongfang Haruka was.
"Would you like to say hello to him?"
"Hmmm......"
Barnyard looked at the man who was doing something very seriously, and finally shook his head.
"No, so as not to disturb him. ”
If you say hello, let's wait until the other person is done before going!
"Oh. ”
"There are a few things I need to tell you in advance about printing. ”
"Well, please. ”
"For example, the color of the font is a little deeper, and if you can add some illustrations, you can make people more intuitive. ”
"But I don't know how to draw!"
Honju Kosuzu feels embarrassed, he's not a painter!
"Hmmm......"
Barnyard Aqiu thought about it, and also felt that his request was a bit difficult for a strong man.
"Oh, or we can do that. ”
Just as he was about to tell the other party not to do that, Motoi Kosuzu seemed to have thought of some good idea.
"We might be able to ask those tengu!"
"Please?"
"Yes, if you use real photos, I think it will be better. ”
"Oh. ”
I see, as she said, let the tengu take pictures and add them to the "Ask for Hearing Dictation", and the readability will indeed be greatly increased.
And those journalists are already very good at doing these things.
I just don't know if they are willing to help themselves with this.
"If the Lord of the East comes forward, there will definitely be no problem. ”
This is the benefit of being widely communicative.,If it's Motoju Kosuzu who goes to ask for help herself.,I'm afraid those tengu won't even bother to pay attention to her!
"Oh, that's it. ”
The important issue was solved, and the two discussed some other details.
After finishing speaking, they looked back and found that Dongfang Yao was still there writing and drawing.
What the hell is he doing?
