286 causality (2)

There was no specific destination for this outing.

I just walked around wherever my feet went.

‘Oh, there was a skewer house over there 20 years ago.’

I’m not a big fan of walking, but this time it was quite enjoyable.

Should I say it’s like finding the wrong picture?

When I see stores that are still operating even after 20 years, it’s not a place I’ve been to a few times, but I’m glad I did.

It was a time of wandering around like that.

“… … yes?”

When did I get here?

It’s really scary to have a habit.

I blankly lifted my head and looked at the beautiful building in front of me.

[Central Archives of Southern Ravigion.]

It’s just a place that everyone calls the ‘library’, and it’s also the place I’ve been to the most in the world.

‘Nothing has changed here from 20 years later.’

I didn’t have much to do right away, so I did not hesitate to enter the library.

and… … .

“welcome. Welcome to visit.”

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the staff.

To be honest, I was very disappointed.

‘what is this. This is not the original place like this.’

When Ragna was present, all the counters that were empty are filled with staff. When I first came, there was only one librarian who was sleeping.

One of the many librarians approached me.

“Is this your first visit?”

A female librarian who appears to be in her early to mid teens.

I think I’m very young, but I don’t think it’s a full-time job.

Is it like an alpha?

But why are you so familiar?

“… … Is this your first visit?”

“Ah oh… … Yes.”

“Then I will briefly guide you on the rules and methods of reading.”

After listening to the guidance of the staff, it was not only the number of librarians that had changed.

The Administrative Wizard is only one of these many.

Even then, if the user said a keyword, he would use magic to pull out the records of the stored books, and other general librarians would guide them to the location.

“… … Why would you use such a cumbersome method?”

“Yes… … ?”

“Isn’t it convenient to cast magic on users and find them on their own?”

To my question, the librarian replied with a bright smile, ‘What the hell is this barbarian talking about?’

“Haha, you might be thinking like that. However, I’ve heard that magics performed on others increase the consumption of mana several times more.”

“Ah, the problem is that there are few wizards.”

“Yes. I had never even heard of such a magic in the first place.”

huh? what is this again

There is no such magic?

As I tilted my head involuntarily, the librarian muttered in a voice mixed with self-help.

“There is no way the wizards of the noble towers can create magic for librarians like us, right?”

“… … Uh, right? sorry. Come back later.”

“no. Then take a look around and if there is a book or field you would like to read, please feel free to contact us.”

After the conversation was over, the librarian went back to his seat and sat down. But perhaps thanks to that, a nameplate that was not visible from the angle when we were talking while standing caught my eye.

[Apprentice Librarian – Shavin Emour]

Ha, somehow the face is familiar somewhere.

it was him

I think I worked here until I became an adult and got a job at the administrative office… … .

‘It’s very interesting.’

I suddenly had a thought.

Now, you can hear the short tongue sounds of Misha from her childhood… … .

‘Ah, you still have a short tongue anyway.’

Anyway, that’s not the point.

If you like, you can see the green mite days of my acquaintances?

Interesting, but what does that matter?

‘Dwalky… … You must be alive here.’

Real Wob Dwalkie.

A wizard who will probably be one of my sore fingers for the rest of my life.

‘If it is possible to change the future… … .’

Wouldn’t it be possible to prevent Dwalkie from dying as I do here?

As soon as I had that thought, an electric current went through my body.

Not a description, really.

supportive.

what is this.

who’s got the electricity

I felt a stinging sensation at my feet, and when I looked down, I saw a little boy looking up at me with disrespectful eyes.

I spoke generously like an adult barbarian.

“What kind of dog are you?”

The little boy answered my question.

“I am a wizard.”

It wasn’t funny.

Yeah, he’s a wizard, so what?

So, did you know that I’d crouch because I was scared?

“Human kid, I didn’t know you well because you were young, but even a wizard dies when his neck is broken.”

It was funny to seriously argue with a little wizard who was about six or seven years old, so he gave me sincere advice.

Just didn’t like it?

“Okay, get out of here. I can’t pass because of you.”

The little wizard glared at me with stingy eyes.

Thanks to this, we could understand the cause of the earthquake.

‘Huh, did you get an electric shock because the road was blocked?’

I couldn’t help being a reluctant little boy, but I could barely stand it, remembering Amelia’s words not to get into an accident.

“Yes, go ahead. kid.”

“What do you do when you grow up, even though you can’t even use magic?”

“What? You want to see the magic that breaks your neck?”

As soon as the road was cleared to the side, the little boy snorted so that everyone could hear it and disappeared.

“… … It’s barbaric.”

Yep, no damage to barbarians.

‘tt, are all the little ones like that 20 years ago? After all, we weren’t like this… … . What the world is going to be like.’

After that, I took a quick look around the library.

And without taking out the book, I sat down in an empty seat.

I had one thing to sort out my thoughts.

‘It’s a waste to just throw this opportunity away.’

20 years of time difference.

As Amelia said ‘opportunity’, I thought it would be a loss to just go back to the original time frame.

‘I won’t be able to invest a lot since I only have 3 weeks to stay on earth… … .’

I put together a list of things I could do during that time.

There were a few things that came to mind.

‘First of all, the Genesis Noble Phantasm.’

The Genesis Noble Phantasm is stolen 20 years later.

I can’t stop it, and it’s virtually impossible to steal ahead and bury it in the ground.

I don’t even know where they hid it in the Holy Land.

However… … .

‘It would be possible to give a warning.’

So the first thing to do was decided.

1. On March 1, 153, Gaebyeok writes a letter from an unknown sender stating that the one who steals the Noble Phantasm is coming.

Of course, it is uncertain whether this will change the future.

However, it does not require a lot of effort, so there is nothing to lose. In that sense, I decided to write about the War of the Holy Relics as well.

In fact, it is the primary cause of the decline of the Barbarians.

‘… … It would be nice if the power was just as big as this world.’

I haven’t looked around the city for a long time 20 years ago, but the most noticeable change was the proportion of barbarians.

The barbarians were seen everywhere.

Perhaps this was normal in the past.

We got to this point when the War of the Hallows broke out, the population decreased, and the Tower of Magic announced that our hearts were valuable as magic ingredients.

‘The tower is… … How can I not stop it?’

Well, I decided to think about this a bit more.

I don’t have anything that comes to mind right now.

Next at this point.

2. Create a situation where the dwalky won’t die.

In the case of this item, there are a total of two ways that come to mind.

Or intervene in the past and induce him not to become an explorer… … .

‘Dragon killer, kill that chew.’

The former has many variables, but the latter is more certain than any other means.

It’s also something that’s better for the world.

It is full of advantages in many ways.

However, the problem is… … .

‘I’m not sure if that bastard will be in Noark.’

According to the known history, it was about 10 years after that he first appeared after stealing the dragon’s sword and fled.

It was said that Orculis made her debut by performing a terrorist attack on her own in the holy land of the fairies that were destroyed by the War of Relics.

Unfortunately, his previous actions are not known at all.

‘Then it would be nice to meet Dwalky first.’

Therefore, it was decided to proceed with ‘inducing Dwalkies not to become explorers’.

There are many variables, but it was a worthwhile attempt.

I don’t even know where Dwalky is staying at this time.

‘If you go to the explorer and say bad things about how difficult and dirty an explorer is, the recognition will get worse.’

Okay, then I’m going to do this… … .

‘next… … .’

That was the car I was thinking about.

Supportive-!

An electric chime was heard from somewhere.

Fortunately, this time it wasn’t from my body.

“Aww!”

As soon as I turned my head in the direction of the sound, I saw a man screaming from electric terrorism.

“Get out of the way, don’t block the road.”

The little boy recites the same lines he spit to me to such a man.

Unfortunately, the results were different from before.

Hey, how many people in the world are kind and generous like me?

damn-!

The man slapped the little boy on the cheek without mercy.

Although anchovy’s characteristic poor physique was, it was still difficult for a six or seven-year-old boy to withstand the power of a full-fledged adult man.

“Birge Te… … .”

The kid, who had been hit and flew away, quickly stood up and chanted magic, but the man who had been attacked did not give him a chance to do so.

Puff-!

A merciless kick towards a small body.

“… … Shouldn’t it be dry?”

“librarian! Let’s call the librarian.”

The eyes of the people around them gathered, but no one took the first step.

Ha, that’s why these guys only study.

Don’t let me concentrate.

“Who made the sound?”

I had no choice but to get up and go to the place where there was a commotion. And I approach the guy who keeps hitting his feet to see if he doesn’t go away… … .

“Be quiet in the library.”

I stepped on my foot and stumbled over it.

Koo-!

“Miss, what are you?”

The man who hit the buttocks on the floor groaned and got up.

And looking at me, he raised his voice in annoyance.

“If you don’t want to get hurt… … .”

As soon as their eyes met, the tails of the horses clouded.

“What if you don’t want to get hurt?”

“… … .”

“Why don’t you talk?”

“… … .”

The man didn’t even answer my question.

I wondered if he was trying to use the first method of making people angry, but luckily it wasn’t.

“… … Just go your way.”

Bisil pretending to be strong with her eyes down secretly.

It was a little ridiculous.

I thought he was an egalitarian like a barbarian, regardless of gender, because he slapped a child’s cheek relentlessly.

‘I was just strong against the weak.’

Well, it’s because he’s 100% right about this.

“Are you going to do this? Can’t you see people reading books?”

“… … Sheesh.”

As soon as the cause was laid out, the bastard kicked his tongue and turned around and disappeared.

After the anger subsided, he seemed to know that he was embarrassed.

“Can it happen?”

“… … don’t mind.”

If you’re going to say something like that, do it after you’ve been a few years older and have lost breasts.

“Eww.”

I sighed and lifted the little boy, curled up like a shrimp, to his feet.

and asked.

“Is there no mother?”

“I have.”

Eh? have you?

“No?”

“… … I’m at home.”

Oh, I see.

I’d say it like that.

“Why do you come out alone without your mother? If you come here, go with me.”

“… … I can do it myself.”

“Is that why you’re so cruel?”

Like a barbarian, the kid frowned when he stabbed a sore spot with a dagger.

“… … I could win.”

“Right.”

This is why I hate young children.

How strong is your stubbornness on topics that are far from rational thinking?

“Okay, now you do it. If you’re going to quarrel again, go to a place where I’m not there and do it.”

“… … It’s not arrogant The person blocking the road in the first place was at fault.”

what else is he saying

“The person who used magic to block the road was also at fault. You have to tell me to get out of here first.”

“I did it. To you, and to that man. But you both ignored it.”

uh? really? I really didn’t know… … .

“So I won’t.”

“what are you talking about?”

“I wouldn’t say thank you.”

“Oh, is it?”

I actually didn’t even want it.

“Okay, go ahead.”

As I waved my hands, the little boy took a deep breath, noticing what he was so upset about, then turned around and disappeared.

It was then that an employee ran from afar.

Fortunately, without saying anything, the employee who was informed of the situation from the users around me instead of me thanked me and disappeared.

“… … I heard that you went ahead and cleared the situation. Thank you.”

With this, the brief happenings are over.

So when I sat back down and continued thinking.

Druck.

When I heard a sound from the side, I glanced at him, and I saw the little boy sitting across from me and opening a book.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“Are you reading a book?”

“Why are you reading here?”

“Why can’t we read here?”

ha, really… … .

‘Let’s be patient.’

Showing the patience of an adult, I moved.

But how did this happen again?

Druck.

A few minutes later, another chair is pulled diagonally across from it.

“Why did you follow me?”

“You didn’t follow me?”

“You followed me.”

“not really.”

According to my many volunteer experiences, I must have lost interest in this little boy.

‘In such a case, indifference is medicine.’

If you don’t respond, you’ll lose interest on your own, and you’ll get tired of the fluff and fall off.

I stopped paying attention and continued thinking.

But this damn kid didn’t know the good.

“Why don’t you open a book and sit still?”

“… … .”

“Are you sure you can’t read the letters?”

“… … .”

“Can I tell you?”

Oh, that’s going to be crazy.

“Hey Kid.”

Hold on, hold on, when I said a word, the little boy frowned.

“I’m not a kid.”

“No, it’s not—”

“Arua Raven.”

“… … uh?”

I stared blankly.

I doubted my ears for a moment, but my ears were not wrong.

“My name is Arua Raven.”

… … No, really?

***

Blond blonde with blue eyes.

The small body type and race are human beings.

That was the only thing in common that I could find right away, but when I took a closer look, I saw ‘Arua Raven’.

But like Shavin Emoor, it was difficult to be certain.

There’s a big difference between being six or seven years old and being in your mid-late teens.

So I asked the car again to confirm.

“Is Arua right? Isn’t it like Aruna, Aruru, and Aruberos?”

“What are those strange names? My name is Arua. So call me straight.”

Oh, you’re being sensitive.

After all, 20 years from now, there will be no children who call me ‘Arua’ straight away.

“So how old are you?”

“Five years old.”

Wow, seeing the same age, it seems real.

He was tall for his age when he was young.

I was surprised by the sudden meeting, but I slowly started to get curious.

“What is that book? It’s like a book about magic, doesn’t it look like you’re learning it on your own?”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you going to the tower?”

A question that I can’t help but wonder as I am aware of the future that Arua belongs to the Magic Tower.

But he just bit his tongue.

“Do you know that anyone can enter the tower?”

Uh, that’s right, but… … .

“My family can’t be poor.”

“So, are you studying alone?”

“Yeah, if you become an administrative wizard later, you don’t have to worry about making a living.”

“… … That’s right, isn’t it?”

I thought, nodding my head awkwardly.

What did I do when I was five?

‘In and out of the operating room, I read only books in the hospital room every day.’

I was also quite precocious for my age, but to him, there is no comparison.

At least back then, I didn’t think about the ‘future’.

Well, it’s a big deal that I couldn’t afford to do that because it was a time of death and death.

“Then I will go.”

“uh? suddenly?”

“Now it’s time for Mom to go to work. If you find out that you went to the library, you will be scolded.”

“Well, if I go out secretly like this, I would be worried.”

“… … It’s going to be a little different than that.”

After that, Raven put the book she was reading on the return table and left without a promise and without looking back.

‘It’s a little different from worrying, what do you mean?’

It may not be a big deal, but the strangely dark expression on Raven’s expression when he said those words caught my eye.

‘Are there any problems with your family?’

Come to think of it, he’s never talked about his family in front of us.

It was the first time I knew that he was from a commoner.

“Hmm… … .”

Are you curious about this?
