57 – The Identity of the Celestial God

Before arriving at the ruins, I gave Luna one caution.

“Be as discreet as possible and keep all the books there in your mind.”

If the copying was discovered, Amber could have tried to stop it, so it would have been better to do it secretly if possible.

When I said those words, Luna quickly nodded her head and spoke to me.

[Okay!]

I felt a bit anxious due to the overly lively voice.

There was nothing else I could do other than believe, so I just nodded and slowly moved forward.

‘I feel sorry for Ember, but I think it would be a good idea to use this opportunity to retrieve information about the magic books that exist in the Phantom Library.’

Thanks to the free funeral business that Delia is running, she has accumulated countless points.

The price of each magic book was so expensive that it would have been impossible to purchase it even after several decades.

So, we decided to drastically shorten that period by using a trick, and when we entered the welcome library, Amber greeted us.

“Huh? Long time no see.”

Amber, who was still holding a book as big as her body, adjusted her glasses and spoke to us.

“You may not know this because you haven’t visited us in a while, but we have accumulated a lot of points. At this level, um… “I think you can buy some pretty good items.”

I answered briefly in a voice that said I was not particularly impressed.

“Then let’s take a look around.”

“Yes. Take your time and look around. “If you need my help, please call me anytime.”

At those words, I slowly walked towards her while holding Luna, who nodded and stood.

I spoke briefly as I looked around the room where all kinds of items were displayed.

“Do you think you can do it?”

At that question, Luna looked at the magic books near her and quickly nodded her head.

I nodded with satisfaction at Luna’s reaction and slowly walked away.

‘I guess we can start by looking around for things that might be useful.’

Unfortunately, the only story about the ‘ancient magic book’ appeared in the novel.

Since there was no information other than the ancient magic book, there was a need to check each one individually.

So, while I was looking through the magic books, focusing on the ones with high prices, Ember sneaked up from behind and looked at me with suspicion.

“The only things there are items that are too expensive for Mr. Dern to buy… “Why are you standing there?”

Perhaps due to his long experience managing the Welcome Library, he is somewhat quick-witted.

I was pricked by my conscience, because if I reveal something for no reason, all my plans will go wrong.

As she usually did, she looked at her somewhat calmly and spoke briefly.

“We are checking items to purchase in the future.”

The way he spoke was so confident that it could be described as arrogant.

Perhaps thanks to that tone of voice, Amber nods her head and mutters as if she is somewhat convinced.

“Not only did you find a way to receive and receive points on a regular basis, but you also brought in people with quite high points… “

It seems like you think my words are reasonable.

I looked at Amber who was nodding her head, but she quickly looked away and looked around at the things around her more leisurely.

‘It seems like I’m convinced at first, but if I wait too long, I might start to doubt it, so it would be better to end it in an appropriate way.’

With that thought in mind, I walked around the area, taking a reasonable amount of time to help Luna understand the contents of the magic book.

I don’t know if it’s because of my acting, or if it’s because of the things I’ve built up over the years that have helped me build trust.

Without questioning me any further, Amber went off to do her own thing again.

After confirming this, I decided to quickly finish the work and looked around.

[All done!]

Even though not much time has passed, Luna tells me that she is done and rubs her cheek in my arms.

I was a little surprised that the speed was faster than I expected.

The important thing now was not to be surprised, but to get out of the Welcome Library, so I nodded for now and walked away.

‘Then, after checking what kind of things we got from the lab… ‘

It would be a good idea to determine if there is anything that can be combined with ancient magic.

I was about to go home with that conclusion, but Amber called me and stopped me.

“Oh… Are you going already?”

I nodded and Amber looked at me blankly.

Soon he stands up and speaks to me.

“The ones you saw earlier were quite expensive… It will be difficult to purchase with only fixed income. Of course, you can rent it if you choose to rent it for just an hour like last time, but… “You might forget something along the way, so I think it would be a good idea to purchase it if possible.”

I’m trying to say it back, but it probably means that I want people to buy it if possible.

I was about to pass by, saying I would consider it.

Amber continues speaking again.

“So why not bring in people with good stories? If you’re lucky, you may get points that allow you to buy the items you want at once.”

When I was told to bring in someone with a good story, a question suddenly arose.

Why does the Welcome Library go to such lengths to collect other people’s ‘stories’?

‘I said there were definitely people who needed it.’

I remembered that he avoided answering the question by saying that the detailed reason was a secret.

I couldn’t help but feel an uneasy feeling as I watched Amber secretly suggesting that we bring in people with good stories.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but I felt a strange urging.

‘It would be better to wait and see for now.’

If you get a higher score, it may tell you information about the Welcome Library.

For now, they are selling useless stories to see what they think, and then they decide to solve it later.

I just nodded my head and walked away.

* * *

After that, I immediately returned to the lab and asked Luna what she had learned.

[I’ll let you know.]

Then Luna smiled brightly and began to tell me what she had learned.

There are so many that I would like to briefly summarize them.

The structure and principles of creation magic, the source of curses, methods of summoning gods, swordsmanship, etc…

Starting with magic, other fields such as swordsmanship and archery that are completely unrelated to magic also popped up.

After I eliminated all the things that were not related to magic.

I asked about the most interesting topic, ‘the source of the curse and how to summon God.’

[The source of the curse is literally a magic book that contains all curse magic. If the master wants, I will let you know.]

It’s a curse spell…

In the case of curse magic, it is part of black magic, so I am interested in it because I have not learned anything properly about it yet.

I nodded, feeling that if I used this, I could really screw up the Heavenly God Church guys.

“How do I summon God next?”

At those words, Luna stands up and talks to me.

[To put it briefly, this is an article explaining the method for summoning a being called God.]

I raised my hand to ask for a more detailed explanation.

Luna talks to the cat, stroking her hand.

[Once you create a suitable medium to contain the Celestial God, you need a huge amount of energy to summon it, so is it an offering? It is written that the same must be offered.]

… Celestial?

I wondered if Luna had misread God as a Heavenly God, so I asked her if she had said it wrong.

Luna shook her head and said she had said it correctly.

[It was written exactly as Heavenly God!]

The moment I heard those words, I realized that what Luna said earlier was strangely off.

It was common for a being called a god to descend on his own using his own power.

This is because in that book it was written that, unlike ordinary gods, they need a medium and something like a sacrifice when summoned.

‘So it feels closer to resurrection than summoning.’

When I was thinking those thoughts and falling into doubt.

Luna used her mana to raise her quill, and she continued her words by starting to write down something.

[There is a small note attached at the end. I think this note could have various meanings depending on the interpretation, so I’ll write it myself!]

At her nod, Luna quickly used her quill to write her letter.

[Because humans usually think from a human-centered perspective, there is a natural tendency to think of heavenly gods as gods of humans.

As a result, serious errors in judgment often occur.

It is the illusion that the existence of God is the exclusive property of humans.]

The exclusive property of humans?

At those words, a thought suddenly passed through my mind.

The scene we saw before where the priest of the Heavenly God Church was emitting ‘magic energy’ that only demons can use.

Let’s think of such a scene.

I am the ‘Heavenly God’ that the Heavenly God Church refers to.

… It does not mean the god of humans, but the god of demons.

So, I was able to figure out that it meant a demon god.
