I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace (WN) Chapter 1404 - Mysterious Letter

Chapter 1404 - Mysterious Letter ①

It was delivered to me one day out of the blue. Anima, who had been organizing the letters sent to me, brought it to me and the very troubled expression on her face was quite memorable.

The letter had no sender written on it at all, and the contents of the letter were, frankly speaking, unintelligible.

“I no aboat you. Dat is becos I hav toked with peeper you are akwaynted with. I hoap for the uppertunity to meat you. I do not no aboat yer locacion. Hover, my plays is witely noun. I wood like to ask you to c.u.m to oar plays.”

This is what I, who should be able to automatically read the letters of this world, was able to read, and according to Anima, their grammar was quite a mess, seemingly having been written by someone who has never written a letter properly.

What is even more mysterious is that there are post offices in this world, and letters are usually stamped with a seal when they come through those places, so that we can tell which post offices they came through.

However, there are no seals on this letter, so it’s unclear how that thing arrived at our house.

The content should be…… “I know about you. That is because I have talked with peeper……”. Peeper…… This should be people, right? “That is because I have talked with people you are acquainted with. I hope for the opportunity to meet you. I do not know about your location. However, my place is widely known. I would like to ask you to come to our place.”

……Looking at the content, it concluded with the feeling that someone who knew me or heard about me from someone else wanted to meet me and hoped that I would come to where they were.

However, before all that, this thing doesn’t even hint of any kind of location.

[……Heehhh, this is…… I see, they must have worked hard writing this huh.]

[Unnn? Alice, do you know who this is from?]

[Of course, I can tell who it is…… Hmmm, I could tell you the answer, but I don’t think that would be as interesting.]

[Not like I wanted things to be interesting though……]

[Now, now, since we’re at it, let’s make it a riddle. Find these books in the Royal Library and look at the last page.]

Alice, smiling mischievously, wrote the t.i.tles of several books on a piece of paper and handed it to me. From her reaction, it seemed that the owner of the letter didn’t have any malicious intent, or at least, someone who isn’t dangerous.

However, what could be the reason why she would send me all the way to the Royal Library? Is the sender of this letter someone related to libraries and books?

Even as I tilted my head in wonder, well, I suppose something like this is good too sometimes, so I prepared to go outside.

The Royal Library is located in the Royal Capital of Symphonia Kingdom, in an area where many establishments like schools were erected. Aoi-chan, who went to a magic school around this area to listen to lectures often visited this area, but this would be the first time for me to go here.

While looking at the map, I arrived at a huge building that made me think it was a castle. I was overwhelmed by the size of the exterior, and when I went through the procedures at the reception desk and went inside, I arrived at a spectacular sight that could really be described as a forest of books.

When I showed Alice’s note to the librarian, she told me where each book was on the shelf, and I moved around and collected each book.

Then, I sat down in an empty seat with the books I had gathered and checked the last page. Thereupon, I found what seemed to be notes tucked in there.

『Hint 1: Where do the Tempest Dragons live?』

『Hint 2: It’s not in the four directions.』

『Hint 3: It’s not in the sky, but on the ground. 』

『Hint 4: It’s not within the forests, but out in the wilderness.』

『Hint 5: It’s not above us, but down below.』

『Hint 6: It’s neither to the left nor to the right, but behind us.』

『Hint 7: It’s neither red nor white.』

『Hint 8: The Retainer holds the key that opens the door.』

『Hint 9: The Retainer’s location is different from the sender.』

『Hint 10: One shall be delighted when you bring something sweet.』

It seemed that Alice had simply planted these notes ahead of time to set the mood, not because the sender was related to this library.

However, what in the world is this? What does this even mean……. Unnn? Come to think of it, the book in which the notes were tucked in…… Hint 1 note was in a book t.i.tled “The Ecology of Ancient Dragons”. Ahh, I see, so the answers to the hints in each note are written in the book that each note was in…… This is really starting to look like a riddle.

【Serious-senpai is currently being defrosted.】

? ? ? : [I wonder if she can be thawed naturally…… Well, if we just leave her be for a while, she should revive on her own.]
