Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy

I discovered the 'Magic Staff Kykeon,' one of the legacies of the wise, and presented it to Ciel.

Ciel was very pleased with the unexpected gift and even had tears in the corners of her eyes as she thanked me.

"This book... is it okay if I take it home?"

Meanwhile, Electra, who was browsing through the bookshelves, asked.

"It's okay, maybe. Even if we leave it here, it will only deteriorate."

There are countless books lined up on the bookshelf.

All of them are old.

It seems like some of it is written in an ancient language, the language of some country I don't know.

"Then, let's take them back and have the court magician examine them. They should be valuable historical materials, as they are all over a hundred years old!"

Electra said happily and carefully took the books out of the bookshelf.

Clearly, the amount was more than what Electra could carry with her arms alone.

"...I'll put them in my magic bag. I'll send them to the castle later."

Taking pity, I put the books into my unlimited-capacity magic bag.

I don't know what is written in these books.

In the game, this bookshelf was just decoration, and there was no description of what books were inside.

Nevertheless, as old books, they must have some value as reference materials.

"There are potions here... What kind of medicine is this?"

Aeris looked at the test tube on the desk and tilted her head in wonder.

In the game, this medicine was also just part of the background. It was nothing more than an object that couldn't be touched.

"It looks like a potion... Come to think of it, what kind of medicine is it?"

I was suddenly interested, so I picked up the test tube.

It was a blue liquid that looked a lot like a potion, but upon closer inspection, I could see gold and silver particles floating in it, swaying up and down.

I don't have any knowledge of medicine, but... if I put it in my magic bag, the name of that item should be displayed in the list.

"Cough!"

"Zenon-sama...!?"

"N-No... it's nothing..."

Aeris approached me with a worried look as I unintentionally coughing.

I waved my hand to show that it was nothing and looked again at the name of the item displayed in the list.

The name that appeared in the item bag list was a familiar term for fantasy enthusiasts.

'Elixir (Incomplete)'

It is a medicine that is sure to appear in fantasy games.

It is known as a secret medicine that can even revive the dead.

"..."

Why is this medicine here?

In DunBrave, Elixir does not appear.

At least, not as an item that players can use.

In the sub-events, there are travelers looking for elixirs, and there are alchemists trying to create elixirs... But it shouldn't exist as an item.

Moreover, it's explicitly marked as incomplete with parentheses.

Does this mean that it can become complete somehow?

"I should research about this medicine again. It might become a great discovery of the century."

"Is that so? I hope it will be useful."

Aeris doesn't seem particularly concerned and continues examining other places.

Afterwards, we continued to investigate the top floor... Truly the research laboratory of the sage.

There were valuable medicines and unknown objects whose purpose is unknown.

We tossed the promising ones into my item bag and left the "Sage's Playground."

"Well then...everyone, good job today. You can go home now."

"Just a moment, Baskerville..."

"Don't worry, Uranus. I will take you to the 'Eternal Library' properly. I have various preparations to make. Let's depart in three days."

"After three days... I can save Leon?"

"No guarantee. Just a possibility."

"Alright. That's enough."

Ciel bit her lip and nodded firmly.

"Alright then, shall we go? Please guide me."

"Guide... to where?"

"To your house."

"What?"

I raised an eyebrow in surprise at Ciel's casual remark. As I did, Ciel slightly averted her gaze and dropped a bombshell with a nonchalant expression.

"Can you let me stay overnight? I have no place to go."

"..."

Not only I was stunned by those words. Aeris and Electra were also speechless, filled with astonishment.
