この日は朝から魔導図書館にいた。
国王が作ってくれた読書スペース、ゆったりくつろいでられるソファーに寝っ転がって
今日、異世界に転生してきて初めての経験をした。
続刊があったのだ!
マンガとして読めば、今までのは全部一巻完結のものだった。
読めばそれだけで魔法を覚えられるから、特に気にしてこなかったけど、ちゃんと続刊ものもあった。
今読んでるのはバトルものだ。
四人の仲間が武闘大会に出場して、熱いバトルを繰り広げてどんどん勝ち進んでいくものだ。
リングの外の人間ドラマも面白くで、ついつい読んでしまう。
そして今、三巻を読み終えた。
「終わりましたかぁ?」
「ああ」
「じゃあ、次の持ってきますねぇ」
一緒に図書館に来た、おれが読んでる間はずっとそばで忠犬のようにじっと座っていた犬耳の少女、ココ。
彼女はおれから魔導書を受け取って、元の本棚に戻していった。
さっきからこうしていた、読んだ本を戻して、新しい本を持ってくる。
すごく楽ちんだ。
「こんなに楽して魔法をおぼえていいのかなあ」
そんなつぶやきが口に出てしまうほど楽ちんだった。
読めば魔法を覚えるのは今までと一緒だけど、それから更に自分で取りにいったり戻したりする手間がなくなった。
ぶっちゃけ......元いた世界だと、寝床のまわりにマンガが散乱してたんだよなあ。
寝る前に読んでたのがそのままで、次の日も戻さないで新しいの持ってくるからどんどん散らかっていくんだよな。
それを考えるとちょっとココにお礼を言いたくなった。
きっちり四巻を持って戻ってきたココ。
異世界の人間はないよう読めないけど、表紙は読めるんだよなあ。
まあそれはともかく、おれは魔導書を受け取って、お礼を言った。
「どういたしましてぇ」
「お礼をしてやる。おまえ、骨はすきか?」
「ほね、ですか?」
「ああ骨だ」
「大好きですけどぉ......」
それがどうしたんだ、って言う顔をする。
思った通りだ。
ココは水をかぶると、もう一つの人格・体であるマミに変身する。
マミは猫耳の美少女で、
だからココも犬っぽいのかなと思って聞いた。
まあ、ずっとおれのそばにじっといて、本を取り替えてくるところで既に忠犬そのものだけど。
「ちょっとまってな」
魔法を頭のなかで探して、やり方をシミュレート擦る。
一つは古いもの、もう一つはせっかくだから今覚えてるこの続刊ものの魔法でいいか。
「サーモンズスケルトン」
驚き、おれの後ろに隠れるココ。
魔法が魔法陣をつくって、そこからガイコツが出てきた。
そのガイコツに向かって次の魔法を放つ。
「ソウルアロー」
魔法の矢がガイコツを貫き、バラバラにした。
ちなみに一巻読破したところで2本、二巻読んだときに3本、三巻を読み終えた今の時点で5本が同時に出た。
なんか法則がありそう。次の巻を読んだらまた試そう。
それよりも今は骨だ。
ココに向かって、言った。
「ほら、骨だぞ」
「いいんですかぁ?」
「ああ、たんと食えー」
ココは大喜びで骨に飛びついた。
人型だった、バラバラになった骨を一本ずつかじっていった。
一生懸命かじる姿が愛らしくて、口からのぞく犬歯が可愛かった。
それをちょっと眺めてから、おれは四巻を開いた。
相変わらずのんびりまったりしてマンガを読む。
二人が作り出す音がいい感じにリズムを作った。
「ちょっと待ってください」
魔導書を受け取って、走って行って、五巻を持ってきた。
その間おれはソウルアローを試した。今度は7本でた。
この法則――知ってるぞ。
次は7本で、その次が11本、そして13本――の順かもしれない。
まあ読んでいけばわかる事だ。
「お待たせしました」
魔導書を受け取って、頭を撫でてやった。
まだ骨が残ってるから、召還はやめておいた。
そうして、魔導書をひたすら読み続けた。
一日中ココと図書館にこもった結果、全20巻のシリーズを読破して、同時に71本の矢を撃てるようになった。
ココは骨の食べ放題でお腹がパンパンになった。
On this day, I was in the Grimoire Library since the morning.
In the reading space the the King made for me, I was reading all the manga I want while relaxing comfortable by laying on the top of the sofa.
Today, I made the first experience since I reincarnated in this world.
There was a series!
If it was read as a manga, everything until now was completed in one volume.
Because I could learn magic the more that I read, I didn't mind it, but there was also a series.
The one that I'm reading right now is a battle manga.
Four friends entered a Martial Arts Tournament, while waging fierce battles, they won one step at a time.
The drama of the people outside of the ring was so interesting, I couldn't help but reading it.
And right now, I finished reading the third volume.
[Are you finished??] 
[Yeah] 
[Then, I'll go take the next one?] 
Came with me to the library, and sitting by my side behaved all the time as if a loyal dog, a girl with dog ears, Coco.
She received the Grimoire from me, and returned it to its bookshelf.
For a while now, just like this, she returns the book that I've read, and brings a new book.
It was super easy.
[I wonder if it's okay if I remember magic this easily?] 
It was super easy that something like that comes out from my mouth.
It's still the same that I could learn magic by reading until now, and in addition to that, right now, the hassle of taking it and returning it disappeared.
Honestly......if this was the world where I was before, manga would've been scattered around my bedroom floor.
Just like it was when I was reading it before sleeping, without returning it in the next day, get a new one, and just like that, it would become more and more scattered.
Thinking of that made me want to say thanks to Coco a little.
Coco returned with the fourth volume properly.
The people of this other world can't read the contents, but they can read only the cover huh?.
Well, anyways, I received the Grimoire, and said thanks.
[You're welcome?] 
[I will give you my gratitude. You, do you like bones?] 
[Bones, desu ka?] 
[Yeah, bones] 
[I love it, why?......] 
She was making a face asking "why do ask of that".
As I've thought.
When Coco is splashed by water, she changes to her other personality and body, Mami.
Mami is a bishoujo with cat ears, and has the nature of the cat as it is, since she liked to catch preys(Isaac) and rats and show them off.
That's why, I thought that maybe Coco was also like a dog and asked.
Well, being behaved beside me all the time and changing the books for me was already just like a loyal dog though.
[Just wait a minute] 
I searched inside of my head for the magic, and simulated how I would do it.
One is an old one, and the other one was, since I remembered it, the magic that I learned from the series I'm reading right now.
[Summon Skeleton] 
Surprised, Coco hid behind my back.
The magic creates a magic circle, and a skeleton came out from that.
And towards that skeleton, I shot the next magic.
[Soul Arrow] 
The magic arrow pierced through the skeleton, and it was scattered into pieces.
By the way, it was two arrows after I completed reading the first volume, three arrows after reading the second volume, and finishing the third volume right now, I could shoot five arrows at the same time.
It looks like there was some kind of rule in it. I should try it after reading the next volume.
Rather than that, it is about the bones right now.
Towards Coco, I told her.
[There you go, its bones] 
[Is it okay??] 
[Yeah, eat all you want?] 
Coco jumped to the bones with delight.
The human shaped, scattered bones, she nibbled them one by one.
Seeing her nibbling it with all her efforts looked very cute, and-and the canines that show from her mouth was very cute.
I watched that for a while, and then opened the fourth volume.
Slow and comfortable as usual, I read the manga.
The sound the two of us made was making a rhythm.
[Please wait for a minute] 
Receive the Grimoire, ran, and returned with the fifth volume.
At the same time, I tested the Soul Arrow. This time, seven arrows came out.
This rule--I know about this.
Next is seven arrows, next to that is eleven arrows, and next to that is thirteen arrows--it might be on that order.
Well, it's something I'd know if I continue to read it.
[I have kept you waiting] 
I received the Grimoire, and patted her head.
Because there was still bones remaining, I didn't summon.
Just like that, I continued reading Grimoires.
The result of being in the library with Coco all day, I completely read twenty volumes, and I am now able to shoot seventy-one arrows at the same time.
And Coco was expanding her belly after eating all the bones that she wanted.
