Miki and Shizuru packed all their needs in their backpacks. In the next day, Travis gave the girls a tiny magical item called "Mirror of Doppelganger" which had ability similar to 3D projector but the reflection looked incredibly real. However, it was one time use and the effect was about 90 minutes.

After sending the girls to the royal library, Travis returned to the hotel for his own plan. The girls succeeded in deceiving that old librarian with their doppelgangers. He kept watching them on the second floor while the girls was on the first floor. After searching for a while, the girls recalled about the portrait in the history room. When Shizuru tried to touch the portrait, she found that her hand went through. Thus, the girls decided to walk through the portrait and discovered the underground stairs. Then, they went down using the crystal torches to light the way. At the end, they found a dark room that was full of woman statues. All of them were pretty in beautiful gowns. Their skins were made by ceramic and hairs were silky shining.

Shizuru: Wow, it looks like a wax museum from 300 years ago, the one that we had learned in our history class.

Miki: Interesting. I wonder how they made them look so real, even their eyes.

Shizuru: Hey! Miki chan. Have you smelled something?

Miki: Yes, something is kinda rot..?

Shizuru: I think it's from here. Under this gown...

When they took a look, they were shocked to find a decay corpse baby. Suddenly, the torches on the wall were lit. The room was getting brighter while a sound of footsteps were closer. And then, that librarian appeared in front of the girls. He smiled, laughed and started to explain everything.

Librarian: Do you like our collection?

Miki: Our?

Librarian: All of them, once were beloved by a man. However, he left them before they passed their primes. They once were alived gracefully as the king's concubines.

Shizuru: What!?

Miki: That's insane!

Librarian: The fleshes had gone... but, everything still looks same as they were alived.

Shizuru: Could this be human-taxidermy!?

Miki: Creepy.

Shizuru: Why did you tell us?

Librarian: Isn't what you're looking?

The librarian suddenly breathed fire to the girls. Fortunately, they were able to dodge and saved by fire-proof armors under their burnt sleeves and gloves. To counter-attack, Miki kicked that librarian fell on the ground. In a meanwhile, the girls were equipped with fire-proof googles and special face masks.

Librarian: Ouch! Y..You!

Shizuru: Don't understimate the power of spoilers!

Librarian: ???

Shizuru: How about that little corpse?

Librarian: She threw him there.

Shizuru: Who?

Librarian: Her turn has not come yet.

Shizuru: ?

Miki: Shizuru! Watch out your back!

Shizuru: *Back Kick*

Librarian-B: Ouch!

Shizuru: What!?

You have twin!?

Miki: Shizuru! One more on the entrance!

Librarian-C: Sorry for late. Your doppelgangers weren't bad.

Shizuru: Triplets!!!

Librarian-A: Stand up, brothers. It's time to teach them a lesson.

Although the triplets were look old but their movement were fast. They kept breathing the fire while chasing the girls. Every times that the girls attacked them, their bodies were softer and high-pain tolerance. During the fight, Miki dodged and accidentally broke one of the statues. A stinky blue liquid slowly ran out from the broken statue and caused the triplets to run away. Thus, the girls kept on destroying the statues.

Librarian-C: STOP!!! OUR HARD WORKS ARE GONE!!!

Shizuru: Then, come to stop us! Blahhhh!

Librarian-C: Damn it!

Miki: (Shizuru, they're really afraid of that liquid. Why?)

Shizuru: (They even stop breathing fire.)

Miki: (Don't tell me that liquid...)

Shizuru: (...Ignitable?)

Librarian-A: Brothers, forget about those statues. Let finish them. 

The triplets all were breathing the fire to the blue liquid. The liquid quickly turned into a sea of blue flame and the triplets rushed out of the room. To extinguish the fire, Shizuru threw some aqua diamonds into the flame. In sprite of a lot of water, the fire was still strong. Everything was burning. The fire was spreading all around to the main building. When the imperial guards saw the burning library, they were panic and rushed to report the palace. In the chaos, Travis brought a lot of men to extinguish the fire by using items and magics. Unfortunately, it did not work. Soon, he found the triplets who ran out of the library. He and his men tried to catch them.

Travis: Where are my princesses?

Librarian-B: They've already died!

Travis: Well, did you see by yourself?

Librarian-C: It's not an ordinary flame. No way they can survive.

Travis: You're wrong. They are extraordinary.

Librarian-A: Fool!

Travis: How to get rid of that blue flame?

Librarian-A: No one can. It's a FLAME OF HELL!

Travis: I see. Well then...

The triplets were sacked and secretly brought away by Travis's men. Later, Lustro and Nialla arrived. They were shocked to see the blue flame rising to the sky. Lustro scolded Travis for this mess but Travis did not listen. He ordered his men to find a way to stop the fire. To support Travis, Nialla demanded royal alchemists to cooperate with Travis's team.

At the hotel, Alistair watched the rising blue flame from his balcony. Somehow, he seemed not to be surprised. He was calm and deep in thought.
