Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 83

(EP-83.1) Club #2

083 – Adventure Club #2

Ark’s Central Library was huge.

Ark’s slogan was, “The world may collapse but as long as Ark remains, it will rise from the ashes.”

All the knowledge and wisdom that mankind on this continent had accumulated until now was stored in Ark’s library.

At least, that was the setup.

Actually seeing it in person gave me dizzying emptiness as I stood amidst the sea °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° of documents and scrolls.

“Why are there so many books?”

The size of the central library was comparable to that of any five-story department store building.

It was almost like a mega-museum; filled with specimens of different types of animals, tools accumulated by mankind, and various kinds of books.

And I needed to find a book in this kind of place!?

There was no such thing as a search system in this world, so how would I do that?

First of all, I headed to the library window in the 1st floor lobby.

Passing through the sparkling clean marble floor, I could see various busy librarians. Most of them were Dwarfs and Nymphs like me.

Thinking about it, there were quite a lot of Nymph staff in Ark.

「Apprentice Librarian Booknoi」

I greeted the blue haired Nymph in a gray cloak and large glasses.

“Hello, I’m looking for some records.”

“What records are you looking for?”

“I would like the list of active clubs in Ark about 30 years ago. Or, is there any record of an ‘adventure club’?”

“Is that all?”

Well.

Since I was here already, should I just borrow in bulk?

“Please let me know if there are any books about the Half-Nymphs, Magic Spells, and records about Demon King Angmar.”

“Understood...!”

Her strange tone of voice reminded me of Marmar.

Speaking of, where was Marmar right now? Knowing that she was like an octopus with hands everywhere, it wouldn’t be strange if she worked here.

While I was thinking about Marmar, the Apprentice Librarian Booknoi flipped through a very large book.

She then took out a feather pen, and wrote small scribbles on a scroll and gave it to me.

“The books you’re looking for should be all here...!”

“Thank you.”

“Be careful not to get lost...!”

Well, if the library was this big, it would be quite possible to get lost.

Taking in the huge space once more, I moved towards ‘4F-3a-41c’ that was written on the scroll.

‘4F’ would be the 4th floor, right?

Dorrrrrrrr-.

I turned my head and saw that there was something similar to an elevator. I hopped on in and picked my destination.

Entering the 4th floor, I was immediately greeted by a damp musty smell. However, it was not up to a point where I couldn’t stand it.

‘4F-3a-41c’

‘4F-3a-41c....’
