Mm...mm... what should I do...

- She seems too busy to talk to you. -

Mm...mm...

What should I do?

No matter how many times I check some items are missing...

Is it because of the wanderers randomly showing up in town nowadays?

Hey~ hey~ listen!

Hey you, what are you doing over there?

You heard everything I said just now didn't you?

It can't be that we have thieves in Eclage.

The more I think about it seems like an outsider is responsible for this.

Don't you think?

For that reason you, who knows that our supplies are missing and who happens to be an outsider as well.

Must be a thief!

You have the right to have an attorney present and... no, never mind.

Let's hear what you have to say after putting you in prison first.

Here, you're accused of stealing how do you feel now?

You see, we suffer an unforeseen misfortune in life sometimes.

We're all like that.

Here's your last chance!

It's something that could save both of us.

You want to hear about it?

Oh, you want to exercise your right and just remain silent?

Let's see how long you can hold your tongue!

I have an idea. Do you want to hear about it?

Oh, well!

Then I'll have to hand you over to prove my innocence.

(What kind of a fairy is this, so immoral?!)

Now, should I start to plant evidence on you?

You just need three fairies to make up anything even if it's the Yggdrasil Tree.

(Maybe I should just run away.)

There's a simple and ordinary solution for this.

That is you finding what's missing and refilling the shelves.

I can't go anywhere because I have to look after the warehouse.

It's better to take some trouble than being accused of stealing, isn't it?

Let me tell you what you need to find.

First of all, 10 Piles of Acorns, 10 Worn Out Pages, and lastly, 10 Mould Powders.

It's strange how 10 of each item are missing exactly...

We're in the same boatnow.

Technically, we call it 'accomplices'.

Now, good luck!

You'll be able to find them easily around here.

You didn't get caught, right?

Let's see what you have then...

It's still not enough...

You didn't forget what I asked for, did you?

You need to find Piles of Acorns, Worn Out Pages, and Mould Powders, 10 of each.

Don't forget this time.

When you come back again you'd better be bringing everything we need.

If they find out that some items are missing, then...

No, I don't want to think about it.

You're more skilled than I thought.

Everything is as written in the books now.

So, we're both safe.

We're in this together so I don't have to thank you, right?

I'll go check if there's anything else missing as well.

It's so strange how these missing items were all very trivial.

Besides, exactly 10 of each item were stolen.

I feel like this is more than just a theft.

How strange...

I'm sure I organized everything but why is it so messy here.

Could it be that someone really hates me...?

Oh, by the way,

I heard you met Eirinn and Bourbon.

I heard Eirinn has a stomachache and I also heard that you helped Bourbon find lost items.

- Cecilia seems to be lost in deep thought -

............

If things that have never happened before happened, then there's something new going on.

Now, shall we go find out what it is?

This time, it's not a theft, of course.

Could you go ask Eirinn and Bourbon about reading books?

Ask them if they have borrowed or read any books recently.

I met both of them.

You tellCecilia what Eirinn and Bourbon said.

Mmm, I see.

So, they have recently borrowed and read books, too?

Good, this solves the mystery!

I borrowed some books as well to learn about people from Midgard since there are so many visitors coming from that area lately.

Eirinn, Bourbon, and I have one thing in common.

That is, we all read books recently.

But I don't understand why that brought bad luck to all three of us.

I have a feeling that Dominic might know something.

He might know...or...

Oh, did you visit Dominic by any chance?

Dominic takes care of the bookshelves and I feel like he might know something.

So I was right.

It was somebody's prank.

Dominic has always been like that so petty and strange.

I hope you don't misunderstand us.

Most of the residents in Eclage;

No, an absolute majority of the residents here are never against outsiders.

It's just Dominic who's acting very weirdly so I hope you don't have a prejudice against us.

Anyway, now that I found out about it,

I shouldn't just sit silently!

Let's start planning for revenge, shall we?

I'll give Eirinn and Bourbon notice in advance.

You should go talk to them.

Oh, and as the manager of the warehouse let me give you something in return.

You found lost items and helped here and there...so, think of it as a reward.

I'll get permission from above so that you can read any books from the bookshelves that Dominic is in charge of.

It's about where you came from and I'm sure you'll like it.

If your perspective on something changes, the way you evaluate that object changes as well.

Explore Midgard from our perspective~!

You'll be able to read as many books as you want from the bookshelves in the plaza.

Hope you have a good time in Eclage.

I have to take inventory now,

so I can't talk to you anymore, sorry~
