Chapter 45: How to Fail

'The most important part in the process is the choice of the berry, as its flavour will completely change the taste of the poképuff.'

Ooooooh, I see...then what is the brown one made of? Chocolate? What is chocolate? I guess it's good...or is it bad?

I thought as I read even more the book in front of me, completely ignoring the chaos around me.

Indeed, as soon as Volo released us, everyone moved toward the library to find what his lie in his presentation. Apparently it was normal for a school to hold one, so an academy that tried to pride itself in being better than any other academy would have the biggest one ever.

But contrary to the other room inside the school, this one was supposedly extremely modest, as it was only made out of wood with some desks around to allow us to sit. Finally, there was only one employee at the entrance of the library who had as his only task to stop us from causing any problem inside of the room.

However, this was not to say that this was the poorest room inside the establishment, as the books inside were the real treasure here, as some of them were even worth more than the cost of a bed! A bed! That's ridiculous!

Apparently it was because some of these book were even older than Volo...which is apparently more than...one hundred thousand years ago...of course those presented her were mere replica offered by Volo...and written by Volo...so this made a lot of their value go down from the simple fact that everyone already assume that it filled with lie.

Still worth more than a bed for some strange reason. I mean, even if it's really that important information, then the student wouldn't act as chaotic as they are doing right now would they?

"Where is it? I don't see any book from the era he was speaking of...what era was it even!?" A student said in panic as he looked at the cover of the book installed on large shelves.

"I think it was the Hisui era...and also the post-era of the Nabunaga from Kanto..." A student said as she gritted her teeth as she hesitating between two enormous books. "I really hope it won't be about the pre-existential era...because the only note we have of it is from his book...and I don't want to spend my few SP to read it..."

Oh right, I forgot to mention that to read the book here, we needed to pay some SP just to access to the most basic book of lesser quality or importance. The truly important books are at the top of the room and cost...a large amount that I didn't bother looking for.

Of course I ended up paying for my friend and some other people from my class...because they asked nicely...but others groaned a lot at this expense. So this was why everyone here was trying their best to make their SP worth it.

As for me? Well I just found this very nice cooking book about how to cook some sweets, and now I'm at the section about poképuff...so the first page...as I just read the first page over and over again.

...my progenitor didn't allow me to read this type of book usually...and when he did allow me to read some book it was not to ridicule him for having a stupid spawn.

...oh! We can make the pastry with just the skin of the berry?

That's good to know if I ever have to go back to my previous lifestyle! It means I could always have some poképuff no matter what?

"Euh...Luciel?" I diverted my attention to in front of me, just to see Iono looking at me in a mix of worry and hope. "Do...do you know what was the lie of this weirdo? I really don't want him to disfigure me...what would my fan say if they saw me filled with scars?!"

...well probably the same as usual...they already say she's ugly for being an esper after all...they might even say that now the scare makes her less ugly because their less of her face to see. Well that's what he says to me when...oh...I don't remember.
