It had only been barely three months since I enrolled, but I’d become quite strong.
I could overwhelm most academy level students, regardless of their grades.
Thanks to the system correction, I’d become much stronger than expected… but there was still a lot to learn at the academy.
Though they say it was all about winning, I wasn’t quite at the level of a few exceptional students.
Geniuses like Carla or Elisha. Or those called “beginner picks” back in the H&A days.
Helena in front of me now is also one of those.
After school.
Just as I was about to head to the library, Helena, who came all the way to the Magic Department classroom, handed me a small box.
“Brother. It’s a bit late, but here’s the item you asked for.”Peeking inside, there were neatly folded three sets of nun’s robes.
“Oh.”
I’ve been so busy lately that I even forgot about it.
For a moment, I couldn’t help but grin as I simulated what I’d do with them.
Originally, I asked for three sets, but in the meantime, Iris, Elisha, and even Faye became my women.
Which meant I was one set short.
Noticing my awkward smile, Helena looked troubled as I cautiously spoke up.
“Uh… Sister Helena.”
“Yes, Brother Yandel. What is it?”
“Well, I was just wondering.”
“Feel free to speak. We share such things, don’t we?”
Helena, shrugging her shoulders, pointed at the box with the nun’s robes.
She must have a rough idea of what I’d use them for, hence the jest.
Feeling more relaxed, I nodded.
“Thank you. Then, could I possibly get one more set?”
“…Huh?!”
But for some reason, Helena backed away with a flushed face.
She even covered her divine power pouch with both arms, giving me a contemptuous look.
“I’m disappointed in you, Brother.”
“Why so, Sister Helena? I might not understand you fully, but there seems to be a misunderstanding…”
“Misunderstanding? I might have grown up within the church, and this is my first time out, but I still know things.”
Waiting silently for her to explain, Helena shouted with certainty.
“Asking for one more nun’s robe means you want me to take off the one I’m wearing now, right?!”
“…What?”
“Isn’t that what it means? To my knowledge, you only have three people to dress in those robes. But asking for one more… means you want me to undress!”
“That’s such illogical reasoning! It is a misunderstanding!”
“Don’t pretend! I read about something similar in a library book!”
“The library again! What kind of place is it anyway?!”
Despite my incredulous reaction, the disdain in Helena’s eyes didn’t fade.
“As far as I know, you only have three people to dress in those robes. The slaves by your side and Sister Faye.”
“There’s one more person outside the academy! That’s why I need four!”
“Then what was that look you gave me earlier all about?”
“I was just being cautious! I felt bad for asking for more after you brought what I asked for!”
“It doesn’t seem so…”
“No, no…!”
How long did I keep pounding my chest in frustration?
A faint sound of laughter came from somewhere.
I turned to Carla and Elisha with a sense of hurt.
But both of them, despite giggling at my flustered state, didn’t laugh out loud.
With a sense of disbelief, I looked towards Helena.
“Hehehe!”
Helena giggled quietly, as if she had never been wary of me.
“Sister Helena?”
“Oh. I’m sorry, Brother. It seems my joke went a bit too far.”
“A joke?”
She slightly turned her head away, seemingly embarrassed by my bewildered gaze.
“Seeing Brother so happy with the gift, I couldn’t help but play a little trick…”
“…….”
“Please don’t look at me like that. As compensation, I’ll bring you an additional set as soon as possible.”
“Oh, that would be great. Thank you.”
I could handle this much teasing for a set of nun’s robes.
Helena looked momentarily taken aback by my quick change of attitude, but then chuckled and nodded.
“Understood. Now that my urgent tasks are over, it won’t take long.”
“That’s good to hear. But there’s something else I wanted to ask you, Sister Helena.”
“What is it?”
“About the request I made before. To join the dungeon raids and cultic subjugation of the Church of Righteous Radiance.”
“Oh yes, I remember that. But given the recent events, your reputation within our order has risen, so…”
According to Helena, they haven’t had any events I could be invited to, and they are currently arguing about whether to include me.
Adults fighting over me—what’s this…?
I nodded with a mix of astonishment and understanding.
“Alright. I’ll wait for your invitation then.”
The Church of Righteous Radiance was the most active in battle, making it ideal for achievements.
Achievements translated directly into stats and traits, which were essential for me.
Once basic combat abilities were secured, it was all about achievements.
After a bit more casual chat with Helena, we parted ways.
And finally, I arrived at the library.
As soon as I opened the door, what I saw was a towering stack of books.
“Wow…”
No, on a closer look, it was just a bookshelf so tall it reached the ceiling, densely packed with books.
From a distance, it seemed like a regular bookshelf, but up close, it felt like a majestic work of art.
How much effort was put into this library?
As I removed my gaze from the towering circular bookshelf, the detailed interior of the library came into view.
Neatly arranged bookshelves, tables, and chairs set up for reading, and a metallic sphere with arms floating around fetching books…
“Wait. What’s that?”
I knew about the circular bookshelf, but seeing it in person was still amazing. However, the arm-equipped sphere was completely new to me.
Startled, I pointed at it, and Carla responded with a pleased smile, as if she had seen something cute.
“You really are new to libraries, Master. That’s a golem used by the librarians.”
“A golem…?”
“Yes. As you can see, the library is not just wide but tall. Even skilled magicians and librarians can’t manage it all by human effort alone, so some tasks are entrusted to golems.”
“Don’t they usually just hire more people?”
Golems were difficult to make and costly to maintain.
It was a valid question, but there was something I hadn’t considered.
“Where do you think we are?”
“Ah.”
Elisha was right. This was an academy where the continent’s top professors and students gathered.
Golems could be easily crafted by professors, and any malfunctions could be swiftly repaired at the nearby workshops.
It would indeed be more expensive to hire a skilled magician as a librarian, especially since they mainly use practical magic.
“Amazing. This is a sight unique to the academy.”
“If you find it so fascinating, Master, would you like to try using it?”
“Huh? Can I use it? I thought it was for the librarians.”
“Of course. The golem has two main functions. Organizing books and fetching them. If you have a specific book in mind, just ask it to find it for you.”
Ah, maybe I thought too hard about golems. They were like the library search computers on Earth.
Waving at one of the flying golems, it stopped its task and approached me.
“Do I just say the title?”
“Yes. Most books are available, so just say what you need.”
“What should I choose…? Ah, how about finding a book called ‘The Origin of the Beastfolk’?”
Creak creak.
The golem, lacking eyes, nose, and mouth, nodded and drifted away. Soon, it returned with a book.
[The Origin of the Beastfolk]
The title seemed correct. Curious, I skimmed through the inside.
-There were beasts married to humans.
-There were humans married to beasts.
-In the beginning, humans and beasts were the same, so it was natural.
This was the book I was looking for.
Unable to raise my voice in the library, I instead excitedly tugged at Carla’s sleeve.
“This is really fascinating.”
“And you look so adorably fascinated, Master.”
“…….”
Carla’s gaze, full of affection, was almost too much to bear.
I couldn’t help it! It was really amazing! A golem fetching books!
Hoping for some support, I turned to Elisha, but…
“This is definitely cute.”
“Cute? How?!”
“You usually act so knowledgeable and cunning, but now you’re purely enjoying this moment.”
She’s got a point! And I think I understand the feeling!
Even as she chuckled, Elisha continued.
“You look like someone from the countryside experiencing the city for the first time… Oh.”
Mid-sentence, Elisha’s eyes widened as if she realized something.
Then, with a gentle expression, she patted my shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Yandel. We’re here with you now. Let’s experience many things together.”
“…….”
This was that thing, right? When someone from a secret organization, newly exposed to the world, is mistaken for being ignorant of the outside?
Knowing this, all I could do was nod in agreement.
“But where do I go to read erotica? Should I ask that golem from before?”
“Yandel… You really can’t read the room. You should be more moved by this moment!”
But honestly, I was really curious.
How could one resist fantasy world erotica?
