Chapter 160 – Episode 152 Aras Eye Library (3)
The struggle in the library ended at a close juncture thanks to Ara’s cooperation.
[… Really. You’ve gotten younger. I was completely unaware.]
“Umi shouted so loudly next to me. “I blatantly ignored it~.”
[… I have nothing to say. Was there ever a need to use magical power like that?]
Ara smiled bitterly at Brenner’s remarks.
“Something big happened… Because of that, we don’t have enough magic power to maintain the library for a while.”
[All right. I can’t help it.]
As if he was sorry, Brenner lowered his head towards Umihole to the extent that the parietal lobe was visible.
[Sorry for attacking you so recklessly. You made a big mistake. … Bitten by a book, are you okay with the lower part?]
Umi Hall made a humming noise and shook her womb.
“… What. Even after all this, this small uterus is the strongest in my body. … It would have been better if we had communicated from the beginning, but I am glad that we somehow managed to communicate.”
The Watcher spun around and lingered next to Ara, who had woken up.
“… Thanks Watcher. Thanks to you, I somehow made it this far.”
Ara did not forget to express her gratitude to Umi.
“Thank you for bringing me too, Umi. If Umi Ne hadn’t come, if she hadn’t been with Umi Hall. “This evening must have been really difficult.”
Instead of answering, Umi rubbed her lower abdomen, where her still-tingling uterus was located… She raised her hands up in a V sign.
[The library will close in 10 minutes. I think that would be enough to get out of the library.]
“… Okay. “Thank you for your hard work running the library, Brenner.”
[… I apologize once again for not noticing this in advance.]
Listening to Ara and Brenner’s story, Umi Hall wiped her sweaty face.
“… “I guess I’ll have to take this off.”
Umihol put her hand through her skirt and placed her hand on the piece of paper that was stuck to her womb.
It had fallen from the thick book that had been holding onto my uterus just a moment ago.
However, the paper material was soaked with love juice and became mushy, and it was stuck to the uterus, so it didn’t seem to come off easily.
Scratch, scratch.
“… It doesn’t come off.”
“Ruler… “Wait a minute!”
Someone runs in from behind Umihole.
“Woah, Umihole! Don’t scratch like that… ! Well, if you pull it off with your fingernail like that, the inside will make a whining sound… “This is weird!!”
Umi said she was horrified and grabbed Umihol’s shoulder.
Next to him, Terus, who had been buried under a book, has regained his vitality and is floating.
“Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable to have something like this stuck to the body?”
“Yeah, that’s right. What should I say? Feels like a sticky candy wrapper is stuck to the uterus. Know… ?!”
“… ? Well, hey… “
It is a metaphor that only Umi and Umihol, the post-uterine magic girls, can understand.
“It feels weird, but the movements of your hands scratching it and trying to get it off are much more… It’s hard work… !”
Umi grabbed Umihol’s arm that was under her skirt and pulled it out.
“If I go out… I’ll take it off, so just stay here for now… !”
Ara finishes her conversation with Brenner and approaches Umine.
“Okay. I have to get out of here before it closes… Ugh.”
But soon, he seems to lose his strength and falls down like a doll whose strings have become loose.
“Ah, Ara-unnie!”
“… Sorry, Umi… It must be difficult as expected. Please… Will you carry me again until I go out? ?”
“It doesn’t matter… Ara, are you okay?”
Ara nods her head with worried eyes.
“Huh… ! When the library is closed… Your magic will return soon.”
“… All right. Umihole, who shares the senses, is in a state of transformation, except that she is post-uterine… No problem!”
“… “Please.”
She seems to be saying that it’s strangely difficult to carry, but Ara doesn’t have much of a choice.
Carrying Ara on her back, Umi looked behind her.
Coo coo…
Has Brenner’s library started to close?
Part of the study collapses.
“… What exactly was this library?”
“It’s a long story, but… What should I say?”
Ara placed her head on Umi’s back.
“It was just another detective.”
Walking back down the hallway she came in, Ara began her story.
“Umi you… What do you think is the most important virtue for a detective?”
“Hmm… “I don’t know?”
It is a difficult question to choose just one.
“Flexible ideas? When I listen to the detective’s reasoning, I thought, wow, I didn’t miss this… “I think so.”
“Well, that’s right. But such flexible thinking skills… “If you don’t have the extensive knowledge needed to solve the case, reasoning will be impossible.”
Ara turned her head as she said that.
“The most famous and famous detective, ‘Sherlock Holmes’… Thinking that the human brain is like a small attic… “He didn’t even want to remember her knowledge about the revolution of the Earth and the Sun.”
Of course, this is something that appears at the beginning of Sherlock Holmes.
In the latter part of the work, perhaps due to a setting mistake, he appears to be fluent in knowledge that was previously called useless.
“… In order to fit more information than necessary into the small attic space of the brain, it is necessary to organize, but it is better to forget knowledge such as astronomy that seems unnecessary for reasoning.”
Umi walked down the hallway in silence, listening to Ara’s story.
Following Umi’s orders, Umihol is walking with her voluminous skirt raised upward, which might rub against her womb.
… It’s ugly, but I guess it’s okay since no one sees it.
“Well, it’s not wrong. The capacity of the human brain is limited. “It is difficult to remember everything in the right place, so as Sherlock Holmes said, it would be efficient to remember only the knowledge necessary for reasoning.”
Ara affirmed his words, but soon asked her own question.
“But my knowledge of astronomy…” Is this knowledge really unnecessary for reasoning? I don’t think that’s necessary for reasoning… “Isn’t this an idea that limits the flexibility of ideas?”
“… ?”
“With a reasoning method that uses the most basic astronomy knowledge… It is possible to compare the alibi time and the shape of the moon that would have been up at that time.”
The crescent moon at evening and the old moon at dawn.
The first waxing moon in the early evening and the lower waxing moon at dawn.
Not only the time of the moon, but also the type of moon that appears varies depending on the lunar cycle.
“It sometimes appears in rudimentary guessing quizzes, but when the shape of the moon is determined, the time at that time is also determined. If you compare the alibi of a suspect who misunderstood this with the shape of the moon, you could find out whether there was a lie or not. So, unlike the Sherlock Holmes stories, knowledge of astronomy is not irrelevant to the reasoning needed to solve cases.”
Ara turned his head and continued.
“So this library… “A space that will make up for my lack of knowledge as a detective and mystery novelist.”
Uji string. The study at the back of the hallway completely collapses.
“Furthermore, we are not living in a mystery novel, are we?”
“… That’s right.”
“I wouldn’t know if it were a real mystery. In reality, it is a fair competition with readers, and the necessary clues are not presented in the length of a book.”
Ara turned her head as she said that.
“Knowledge that may be needed to solve a case at some point, but is difficult to remember even though I have seen, experienced, and learned it.”
“…”
“This library is where that knowledge was transferred. Because it is a library that can be seen through the eyes and reflected through the eyes. “Can we call it an eye library?”
I can understand a little bit what Ara said about being another detective.
The reason why Brenner tried so hard to protect this library,
In the end, this is where Ara’s memories and knowledge are mixed…
This is probably because it was a space that was like a kind of auxiliary storage device.
“I also did some research on magical girls. Mention of homunculus and constellations… If we combine the various clues we have discovered so far… “What is a ‘magical girl’?”
Umi listened to Ara’s words.
“Homunculus, astrology including constellations… Let’s find the roots. “It must go back at least to medieval Europe.”
“… “Medieval Europe?”
“I don’t know what made us magical girls, but it was enough to change the world… Unrealistic power. And Heartstone. If magical girls existed before us, and if magical girls existed since medieval Europe. Aren’t magical girls of that era called ‘witches’?”
Hmm…
“Witch… “D.”
This is not the first time I have heard a story comparing a magical girl to a witch.
But Umi purred as she pictured herself riding on her broom like the witch she was.
“How can I ride a broom while I’m pregnant… ?”
“…”
There is no answer from Ara.
When I turned her head, I saw that Ara had already fallen asleep. Coco… Even the sight of young Ara in her sleep is cute.
Umi looked behind her a little more.
The library containing Ara’s agony and regret as a detective is collapsing.
“… We have to hurry.”
Leaving behind the roar that grew loud enough to shake the floor just before closing,
Umi moved her feet diligently to get out of her library.
“… Phew…”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
After putting Ara down on her sofa, Umi took a deep breath.
As soon as I left her long hallway, the library connected to Ara’s study disappeared.
As if it never existed from the beginning.
“What do you think Ara’s condition is?”
“… It looks okay. This will also solve the magical energy leak to maintain the library.”
The Watcher flies through the air happily, as if he had accomplished it. Terus also joins in and spins around.
“By the way.”
After saying that, Umihol lifted her flowing skirt.
“You haven’t forgotten, right?”
“… Ugh.”
In Umihol’s uterus, a page from the bookshelves that had been removed earlier is stuck, as if covering the entire uterus.
“Yeah, yeah. “Because I can’t just stick this on.”
Umi grabbed Umi Hall’s womb with her left hand and gently touched the top of the page with her right hand.
After all, Jijiri is also a sensitive area.
Every time she scratches slightly with her fingernails, Umi’s back shakes.
“Huh, huh… Well, it really doesn’t come off… ! Is it because the paper got completely wet? !”
“… After… Eww… If you only torment the same area as that…”
“Monster! Bullying, no… ! Hmm…”
Umi’s fingers are shaking because of the shared sense.
“Eww… Ugh!! Ah, evil… Hmm…!”
It was only after Umi had two or three light orgasms,
We succeeded in removing the piece of paper that was stuck to Umihol’s uterus.
Meanwhile, Ara woke up and rubbed her eyes.
“… Umiya. What were you doing?”
“Ah, ah! Well, that is… !”
Scrunch. Umi, who was wiping the floor with a mop, waved her hand as if she were embarrassed.
But Umihole has no intention of hiding it at all.
“… “It was difficult to remove the pages that were stuck to the uterus.”
“… Well, that’s it.”
“… “I will tell Brenner to apologize again later~~.”
Ara said that, lowered her head and apologized…
My eyes flew around.
“… “Wait a minute.”
“… ?”
Ara takes away her torn paper.
“Ah, Ara sister! Well, that… Now, it was attached to the uterus… !!”
“… It doesn’t matter.”
Not knowing that Umi’s face was turning bright red, I brought the wet page closer to her eyes.
Then, I read some clear text from the blurred text.
“… [Umezawa Street]… ?”
Various expressions mix and flow on Ara’s face.
Astonishment, nervousness, anxiety, embarrassment, shock.
“… She couldn’t believe she found this after closing the library door… “I’m disqualified as a detective.”
Ara suddenly got up, sighing,
She almost falls on her side as she is still low on mana.
“Ara unni… !”
“… Okay, it’s okay… More than that… Phew.”
I look straight at Umi who is coming to help me.
“… The Umezawa family astrological murder–.”
“… Yes?”
Ara puts the words written on the page into her mouth.
“This is a murder case that actually occurred in Japan in 1936.”
Ara closed her eyes and tried to regain her composure, then carefully opened them.
I opened my mouth.
“… In that incident, the six women of the Umezawa family—”
Tofu head,
Thorax,
Abdomen,
Lumbar region,
Greater femur,
Lower foot part,
“… Different body parts were found damaged.”
