As Mio's Mother said, choosing a magic book is much harder than looking for one. The pile of magic books in this shop is very diverse according to the type of magic discovered.

"Uuhh.. this is much harder than I thought," I muttered.

In front of me was a messy pile of magic books. I have never studied magic books and this pile of magic books makes me dizzy to choose them. For that, I need help from someone who is an expert in this matter.

Um, Goddess.. can you help me?

Rather than buying something uncertain, it's better to make sure first, right?

Also.. are there any magic books that are suitable for Alice and Alyssa?

Elemental magic?

Spirit contracts?

Um, this is??

I took a worn magic book. The peeling leather cover felt rough in my hands, I was very careful when opening the cover and pages of the book. Most of the pages were in poor condition and looked very fragile. The writing inside was very difficult to understand and I didn't recognize the language it was written in.

What magic book is this?

Senpai??

Eh??

I don't understand what the Goddess said.

But, if this uses the language of another world. How am I supposed to read it?

Eh? What does that mean?

"Ukh!!" I felt a pain in my head.

Just like what happened before, various kinds of information entered my brain. Slowly the pain in my head disappeared. I looked at the book I was holding and...

I understand the language of this magic book!

"Modern Science in Another World?"

"Table of Contents?"

"Basic elements of fire magic?"

"Scientific reactions in fire elemental magic?"

"Differences in fire temperature based on fire elemental color?"

What is this? The more I read and turned the pages, the more I became curious to learn its contents.

"This book is really interesting to study!" I muttered in an excited tone.

A magic book? But the one next to me was just a scroll covered in a leather cover.

That person?

Demon Emperor and hero of the Demon race? I once read this information in a history book. Wasn't it the Demon Emperor who saved the Demon territory from the invasion of giant monsters by himself?

Is it just my feeling or... Alice and Alyssa will be plunged into quite a difficult situation in the future.

Eh, really?

These two magic books are perfect for them?

That's a good idea! I'll judge for myself how suitable this magic book is for them.

I immediately handed the two magic books to the Elf girl named Lisa.

"Um, I want to buy these two magic books and a book about Demon Rune script."

"Eh?" Lisa who received the two magic books from my hands was confused. One magic book with a worn cover and one magic book that uses animal skin.

"Um, Lily-sama. This isn't a magic book," said Lisa.

I shook my head, it seemed like Lisa thought this wasn't a magic book.

Ah! I almost forgot about that one.

"Um, are there any books that study Demon Rune script?" I asked.

Hearing my question, Lisa just stared at me blankly and moved to meet Mio's Mother.

"Helena!! Is it okay to give the book to a noble?" Lisa asked.

"Um, maybe it's safe?" Mother Mio replied.

"Why are you asking me back?!"

"Ettoo.. am I not allowed to buy it?" I asked.

"Ah, it's not like that, Lily-sama. It's just that books that study Demon Rune script are strictly prohibited in this kingdom."

"So, I'm not allowed to buy it?" I was a little disappointed with the rules of this kingdom.

How am I supposed to study this magic book if there's a rule like that? I don't want to force Lisa to sell it to me.

"What if I buy it?" Mio's Mother said.

"Eh?" Lisa was very surprised.

"If I buy it, just think of myself as a freelance adventurer who happened to buy a book about Demon Rune script for my collection."

"T-That's fine. But, don't bring me into it if something happens!"

"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for this," Mio's Mother replied while smiling at me.

"This is Lily-sama.." Mio's Mother gave me a book about the Demon Rune script.

"Eh?" I was surprised and accepted her gift.

"Um, this isn't free.. there's a fee to pay!" Mio's Mother said firmly.

Mio's Mother then lowered her height and was level with my height. Mio's Mother then stroked my hair and kissed my cheek.

"M-Maamaaa!!" behind me, I could hear Mio's footsteps running towards me and hugging me.

"W-What did you just do!!" said Mio as she separated the two of us.

Uhm, will this incident be a big problem in the future?

Mio's Mother and Mio then discussed with each other in the corner of the room and I completed the transaction to buy the magic book.
