Re:Periodic : Deceiving Life in Another World From Zero

{7}- Grenade | Wolgarm

After a bit of bribing, Beatrice showed me a storage room within the library and basically donated every single glass-like bottle in there, and I began experimenting on them all. 

I got rid of some wooden cups that got mixed in, since they'll just melt from the intensity of helium hydride, and I began pouring the liquid into the glass tubes, and to my surprise, it did not damage the glass at all. I assumed that Helium hydride would have around the same power as stomach acid, so I used the properties of stomach acid to determine a lot of helium hydride's properties.

I kept a wooden cup just in case, just to test the power of my compound. It melted right away and I decided to the yeet the cup in some corner of the library due to the lack of garbage cans in this place, hoping that Beatrice would probably not notice it. (I will regret this later).

After successfully sealing the opening using lithium hydride, I decided I would test it out later, since damaging the library would result in me being yeeted out of the library, and that would hurt a lot.

And so, began my long hours of making grenades.

When I finally finished, Beatrice informed me that it only has been 2 days since I started to stay in the Forbidden Library, and since I finished making my grenades (acid bottles), I began reading the books to learn a bit more about the world's history. I learned reading and writing with Ram in the first loop, while Subaru learned it in the second and third loops. 

When I got to a place with a weird picture, I couldn't really decipher what it was, so I went over to Beatrice with the picture of the weird devil, and she began to explain. "That's Satella, the witch of Envy, who turned mad and attacked the world, destroying half of it in the process during the Great Calamity 400 years ago. She killed the other six witches bearing the sins, and some said she was starved for love."

"Wait, that's not quite right..." I said as I replied, finding many flaws in Beatrice's simple explanation. "I thought Daphne starved to death in that desert, and wasn't Typhon's remains still in Priestella?"

"Wha-wha-what?" Beatrice looked me, confused. "That's not right. The books state-"

Just on cue, my partner bursted into the library as Beatrice immediately turned to him and gave him an annoyed look. "Don't you know how to knock?"

"It's only been a day since I've told you about the curses." She continued as she decided to walk past Subaru. "Wait- you've really been cursed, have you not?"

"You came here yesterday?" I asked him, and he nodded. Guess I was too busy reading books, then.

"Guess you're both right, then. The shaman who cursed me was actually one of the villagers."

"You'll probably die within a day..." Beatrice said as she examined the curse. 

"And what, are you not going to help me?" Subaru said as she thought about it.

"Why should I?"

"If I die, then Puck would be sad." Subaru immediately pulled out the Puck strategy.

"Bubby would not be sad if you died."

"Oh, no no no. If I die, Emilia would be at least a little shocked, right? And when Emilia gets hurt, Puck takes damage as well. What would he think of you when he realized you could've stopped it?"

Beatrice looked at me for confirmation, and I nodded before she stomped her feet in exasperation before agreeing to Subaru's proposal.

"I'll get rid of the spell that was placed on you now, I suppose." Beatrice said as she made a sphere of light as she continued to explain. "The spell is burned into you at the place the shaman touched, so that is our reference point."
