Otherworld Adventure 195 The Ancient Library

The wolf loved to jump onto him and sleep atop his body when given the chance. He wanted to pick Silver up and remove him from his chest, but when he grabbed onto Silver, the sensation that he felt was oddly soft and squishy.

"?"

It was comfortable to touch so he kept groping the soft and squishy thing.

'When did Silv become so soft?'

"Ah~ uhm...nn...uhhh..."

"Eh?"

Cecil heard a female voice as he kept squeezing and groping the soft thing in his hand. He quickly stopped rubbing his eyes and opened them.

"...oh...so that's why it was squishy and comfortable..."

Lucia was on top of him and Cecil was currently groping onto her chest. Despite being only 15 years old, Lucia had a pretty abundant chest. Mrs. Anna had a voluptuous body so Lucia's genes were obviously superior in that area.

Lucia continued moaning until she eventually woke up. Cecil didn't stop groping however. It was pretty comfortable so why should he stop?

"C-Cel? Ah! Mmmhmm..."

"Good morning, Lulu... Why are you in my bed again?"

"N-no reason...mhm...ah...c-can you please stop...g-groping my chest?"

"Hm? In a little bit, it's kinda nice to touch!"

Cecil continued groping Lucia's chest. She continued moaning and eventually her face turned red and she began to pant.

Cecil was finally satisfied so he quickly tried to get up. Then he felt a piercing stare come from his left.

"S-Serilla?!"

Serilla was also sleeping next to him and he jumped off the bed in surprise. The rabbitkin girl looked towards the blushing and panting Lucia opposite of her.

"Y-you can grope my chest as well, Cecil..." She shyly said as she brought her chest forward.

"No thanks!"

Cecil quickly dashed out of the room. He didn't forget to grab Silver before he got out.

He entered another empty room and quickly took a shower inside. He also gave Silver a nice wash down.

"Hmmm...As I thought...without the presence of shampoo...it's a little lacking..."

Cecil was thinking that it was a little inconvenient. He could simply clean his hair using the manrich waters, but he still felt something missing. Alterna did have scented bar soap, but for some reason shampoo still wasn't invented.

It got kinda icky whenever his hair began to get all dried up and oily sometimes. It was lucky that Alterna had the Cleanse Spell. Without it, Cecil's scalp would have begun to itch and feel very uncomfortable a long time ago.

He always had a couple of Cleanse quick-cast scrolls at the ready, but he recently found out that the manrich waters inside the healing wards' rooms and the magic water fountains had cleansing properties as well.

You didn't even need to scrub the dirt off your body or clothes, just simply wait under the water spout and let the manrich waters clean you.

This magic tool that created the manrich waters was a very convenient piece of magi-tech. Cecil had to find a way to reproduce it when he returned back to Anglaria.

"I'll ask Mother Anna to help out..."

After he finished showering, Cecil hastily made his way out of the building. He b.u.mped into Serilla and Lucia on his way down. Serilla greeted him, but she was pouting. Lucia greeted him as well, but she was oddly shy about it.

Cecil brought the two over to the library in the southern building. On the way, Cecil apologized to the two for leaving them behind yesterday, but for some reason, whenever he tried talking to Lucia, the girl would always blush and respond bashfully.

She also had trouble meeting his eyes and she would always try to avoid speaking to him for too long. Normally, she'd do everything she can to try and grab his attention.

It wasn't her normal behavior and it caused Cecil to frown. He asked her if something was wrong, but the girl would only respond with a shake of her head.

"Lulu?"

"I-it's nothing! Really!!"

"It doesn't feel like nothing...are you still mad because I left you behind yesterday?"

"N-no! No..."

"Then why're you acting like this? This isn't the normal you," Cecil frowned.

"J-just leave me alone already! W-we're at the library now! I'll go in first!"

Lucia quickly evaded his question and rushed into the library. It was his first time being left behind. A sour feeling began welling up inside him and Cecil thought, 'Is this how she feels whenever I run away?'

Cecil wanted to chase after her, but Serilla tugged on his arm.

"There's no need to chase her~"

"Huh? But I'm worried y'know!"

"It's alright~ she's just bewildered and doesn't know how to respond when you;re the one that's begun to act so aggressively~"

"Huh?"

"Hihihi~ now, let's go in?"

"...sure..."

With Serilla in tow, Cecil walked into the library. When he entered into the main hall, he looked around in awe. The library was HUGE! Cecil could count about 30 or so floors making up the large ancient library.

It was really awe-inspiring and he could see some vines in the air storing or bringing down books to the other students currently present in the library.

There was a small stone slab that had small engravings at the middle of the library's ground floor. Cecil walked up to it and read the engravings.

[The World Tree's Library

Choose 1 Book to take out with you.

Ask the Vines to bring you the Book you require.]

It was very simple instructions. Pick a book, any book. Ask a vine to a.s.sist you while you look. Made your decision? Then get out with your selected book.

Further down the slab was a simple map of the library's ground floor. When Cecil activated his Mana Eyes and concentrated, he could make out similar stone slabs on each of the library's floors.

"Probably the floor maps..."

Cecil turned his attention back to the map on the stone slab on the ground floor. The map on the front of the stone slab showed the categories and locations of the books on the floor. While on the opposite side of the stone slab, it showed the book categories on each floor of the library. The ground floor mostly had books about historic records and such.

To most of the students who partic.i.p.ated in the trials and arrived at the Final Plaza, this was the most useless floor to be on in the library. Why would they bother to read or pick out a book that was only related to ancient history?

"Cecil, what floor are you going to?"

"...I'll stay here. I don't actually have any specific book that I'm looking for. Combat Skill, Magic Spells, and Cultivation techniques...I don't need those."

"Hmhm~ Yeah, you could just create your own skill and spells~ I also heard that your mana cultivation technique is a unique, self-made one as well, no?"

"Yup! That's why no other books attract me in the library. I'll maybe go to the second floor later. I wanna read up on the books about runes they have on that floor.

"Okay~ then I'll head up to the 15th floor, I'll see you later Cecil~"

The second floor had books about runes while the 15th floor had books regarding sword arts, sword skills, and other topics related to swordsmanship. It was obvious that a sword fanatic like Serilla would be attracted to go there.

Cecil spread his Mana Sense to the entire library. He quickly located Lucia on the 28th floor. If he wasn't mistaken, the 28th floor had books about high-tiered original spells. Starting from the 25th floor, all the books in the subsequently higher floors began to reduce in amount. The 30th floor was empty with only a door on the eastern side of the floor which was actually locked and no one was able to gain access to it.

Cecil remained on the ground floor and he began to read all the historic records about the beastkin that he could find. He asked the vines to a.s.sist him in bringing them over.

He plopped down in an inconspicuous corner on the first floor and began reading. He also had his Infinite Page Magic Tome out and would regularly jot down notes and details he found interesting as he read through the historic records.

Cecil spent a week on the first floor to finish reading through all the records about the beastkin. Some of the students couldn't help notice him even when he sat there alone in a well hidden corner of the library's ground floor.

The numerous vine activities had attracted some of them and they thought something mysterious was happening, but it only turned out to be a foxkin boy reading the historic records while jotting down notes in his book.

They didn't see any meaning in doing so, but the boy didn't pay any attention towards anyone or anything around him. He single-mindedly just kept reading the records.

He would read all the way until he felt mentally exhausted before he went back to the healing ward to sleep. He ate his meals while reading and slept only when he felt very, very tired.

When he went to sleep, he no longer bothered to care whether Lucia or Serilla crawled in with him. Actually, he even began to accept it and during the past week he would hug Lucia to sleep...while groping her chest.

He said it was soothing and it helped him sleep better. Lucia could only let him do as he pleased and Cecil was more than happy to oblige. This of course earned him piercing stares from Serilla, but he was adamant in not touching Serilla.

He felt an odd sense of danger if he actually did grope her chest. So despite him letting her sleep in the same bed, he made sure not to put a finger on her even when she snuggled up to him.

It was a little torturous for Lucia since Cecil's lewd hands kept groping her before she slept, but she felt blissful despite all that. Her affection finally got through to him and he actually became a lot more aggressive.

Cecil continued to read in the library and this kept going on for about a month or so.
