Before we know ~ Many Worlds ~

Episode 10

Episode 10

Dec 19, 2022

In the original plot, Nialla fell into Rottie's trap. Rottie secretly put a fake book of poisons in Nialla's room and accused Nialla for trying to kill her. Therefore, Nialla went to the royal library to retrieve the real one in order to prove her innocent. However, the library was suddenly on fire. As a result, Nialla was saved but her maid died. To prevent the same tragedy happened again, Miki and Shizuru decided to retrieve that book in advance. They went to the royal library where was closed to their hotel. The royal library was small but clean and gorgeous like the palace. It was one of the national treasures that was strictly guarded behind the huge wall.


Shizuru: Wow! It's bigger than it looks from the outside.

Miki: Shizuru, do we really have to do this?

Shizuru: Hmm?

Miki: I don't think this version of Nialla will be stupid to fall into that silly trap. Besides, Rottie was imprisoned in the tower. She cannot be any trouble.

Shizuru: You're right.

Miki: Then, let's go home.

Shizuru: Ok. You go ahead. I want to stay for a while.

Miki: So you won't give up, right?

Shizuru: You know me well, Miki chan.

Miki: *Face palm*

Miki: Fine. Why don't we ask that librarian to bring that book?

Shizuru: Don't you think he looks unfriendly?


There was an old man who was working as a librarian. He was small, bald and ugly. He kept watching the girls.




Miki: Well...

Shizuru: That librarian is watching us. Maybe it's Lustro's order.

Miki: Really?
In my opinion, he's too old for a task.

Shizuru: Miki chan, don't you think it's quite strange?

Shizuru: Such a big library like this, why do they hire only one librarian?

Miki: Maybe because it doesn't seem have many visitors.

Shizuru: Then, why must be that old man?
If they hired someone like Travis, I still can understand.

Miki: You're thinking too much.

Shizuru: You maybe right.

Shizuru: Well, this place looks amazing. Why don't we look around before we get that book?

Miki: Ok. It doesn't sound like a bad idea.


On the first floor, there was a history room. The girls entered the room and found the huge portraits of the Lustro and Nialla were hanged on the wall. Somehow, Nialla's face gave them sort of goosebumps. Suddenly, the librarian was showed up. He looked at the girls and gave them a creepy smile.


Librarian: What are you looking for? Maybe..I can help.

Miki: Oh!

Miki: We are looking for "The Book of poisons".

Librarian: I see. The alchemy section was on the second floor.

Miki: T..Thank you.

Librarian: But I never seen the book named..what again?

Shizuru: Never mind. We're going to the second floor.

Librarian: I hope you will find what you're looking for.

Shizuru: ..Thank you. Let's go, Miki chan.


The girls spent several hours to check the books. Unfortunately, they found nothing in particular. When they went back to the hotel, they found that their parcels were arrived. The parcels were order-made items from the day that they were attacked.


Miki: Do we still need these?

Shizuru: Just in case.

Miki: Well, this fire-proof armor is thin and light. We can wear under our cloth. And, what are these little diamonds?




Shizuru: They called "Aqua Diamonds". If we throw them into the fire, they will release a large amount of water. In the other words, they are another version of fire extinguisher.

Miki: Wow... it's amazing and must be very expensive.

Shizuru: No worries because it's all Daddy's money. Ha Ha Ha!

Miki: Ah..and, how about this pen?

Shizuru: It's not a pen. It's a crystal torch. If you press its side-button, it will glow like this.


Miki: Wow! It's so beautiful!

Miki: Anyway, what we gonna do about that book?

Miki: Don't you think its name is too general? How we gonna find it?

Shizuru: And our token are only for visit. We cannot borrow.


Miki: Oh! Travis.

Shizuru: What's going on?

Travis: I saw your orders and I'm a bit worried. Do you plan to do something dangerous?

Miki: Ah...

Travis: Is there anything I can help?

Shizuru: !!!

Shizuru: Won't you stop us?

Travis: Can I do that?
Will you listen to me?

Shizuru: *Smile*

Miki: We are looking for the book but we don't know which one.

Travis: What its name?

Shizuru: (Miki chan, we must not let him know the book's name.)

Miki: (You're right. "The Book of poisons", it sounds like we're planning to kill someone.)

Shizuru: We don't know the title but it's about alchemy.

Travis: I see. What do you want to make?

Shizuru: That's...

Miki: An antidote.

Shizuru: [That's a good idea, Miki chan!]

Shizuru: Oh yeah, we think it will be useful in case we were poisoned.

Travis: I see. Then, let's me help you.

Shizuru: How?

Travis: Since we cannot borrow the book, then bring me with you. I will remember all recipes for you.

Shizuru: Huh?

Travis: I have an exceptional memory.

Miki: For real!?

Shizuru: Can you really do that!??

Travis: Trust me.

Miki: (What should we do?)

Shizuru: (Let he do and see what happens.)

Shizuru: Great!
Travis, you can have my token. You will go with Miki chan.

Miki: O..Ok.

Miki: (And how about you?)

Shizuru: (I will go to buy more aqua diamonds. Following the original plot, the fire might be inevitable.)

Miki: *Sigh*


Miki and Travis visited the royal library from the early morning until late evening. After dinner, Everyone was gathering in one of the guest rooms.


Travis: I've already remembered everything in the alchemy section. Now, you have nothing to worry about making any antidotes.

Shizuru: (Miki chan, did he really do that?)

Miki: (I dunno. He just flipped-flipped then done...)

Shizuru: (Seriously!?)

Travis: Girls?

Miki: ?

Shizuru: Hmm?

Travis: Actually, I found something odd.

Shizuru: About what?

Travis: There is a book about poisons and cures.

Shizuru: [Poisons? Could it be this book?]

Shizuru: What did you find?

Travis: The content is quite simple as you can find in the market.

Miki: Then, why do they put it in the place like the royal library?

Travis: Because the author of the book is a very special person.

Miki: Who?

Travis: Late Queen Helene of Westernia Empire. Her majesty was a talented alchemist but she's gone missing since 100 years ago.

Shizuru: What did happen to her?

Travis: Well, maybe this book is a clue.

Miki: (Shizuru, the story is kinda...)

Shizuru: (I'm extremely exciting, Miki chan!)

Miki: [Damn. She won't listen to me...]

Shizuru: Travis, what is the clue?

Travis: Umm... I guess she left a note inside the book. There is a page that has several alphabets were cut. When you combined those alphabets together, you will get a word "Underground".

Shizuru: Could there be a secret underground inside the royal library?

Travis: Probably.

Miki: [Ah... troublesome.]

Shizuru: Miki chan, let's find that underground!

Miki: Do I have a choice?

Shizuru: Of course not. It gonna be fun!

Miki: Ah...

Travis: Shizuru, Miki, I cannot let you do it.
It's too dangerous.

Shizuru: It's your job to protect us.

Miki: Yeah. That's your job.

Travis: Well, should I tell Your Majesty?

Shizuru: Travis, do you think Daddy will allow us to do?

Travis: Probably not. It's too dangerous and may cause some politic issue.

Shizuru: But we want to do it, no matter what!

Travis: I..I know.
