I didn’t hide my displeasure at seeing Maria and Bun Machine together. It means that you have put a stain on your face that you don’t like. For example, by frowning and glaring.

Of course, Maria didn’t notice that expression. If you were the sly old maid Maria, it would be a piece of cake to trick a young girl into giving you food.

He must have felt burdened by my burning eyes, so he stood up and slapped me and Maria on the back.

“, go now! Don’t waste too much time on a lowly person like me!”

You, with the bun hair, were a quick-witted person. I like that one.

“Oh, yes. Then we’ll go to the library. Mr. Evans, is this time okay?”

“Of course. I will follow Maria wherever she goes.”

I got my ass off the bench with Maria. The saint’s clothes worn under the school uniform fluttered and shook.

As I was about to leave the place and head to the library with Maria, Bunbangblah came out and grabbed Maria. I turned my head with a grim expression.

“Oh and… ! If a senior named ‘Veronica’ comes looking for you, try to avoid her!”

He must have not seen my expression, so he said to Maria without paying any attention to the bun.

“Veronica?”

“He’s the powerhouse of third grade and the guy who took me. If Shine Stella is building a track record under the name Cheonwoong in the suburbs, Veronica is the person with the greatest influence within the school… Saint Lady and Evans, if I find out that you’re snooping around the book club, I won’t let you go.”

If I don’t leave you alone, what are you going to do? Are you trying to interfere?

Slandering the daughter of a member of the Holy Order is laughable. Even if the Holy Order does not step forward, if they try to interfere with Maria and me, I will step in first and blow a hole in their foreheads.

“Haha, it’s okay. We’ll take care of it. So, senior, please go in with peace of mind.”

“Yes, yes… Saint, and junior Evans. thank you! I won’t forget this grace!”

After repeatedly bowing and expressing gratitude until the end, the bun left. I took Maria and headed to the library of the academy’s main building.

Maria during the day does not know the location of the library. It’s natural. Because I just entered school.

But I am different. Every night, I would leave the dormitory and have a secret meeting with Maria in the library.

He skillfully led Maria to the library. Maria smiled brightly and praised me.

“You’ve already memorized all the paths to the main building… ! You are amazing.”

Maria won’t know. How excited that short compliment makes me.

I arrived at the library, trying hard to cover my red mouth with my hand. And then opened the door there.

Squeak-clap.

The inside of the library was a mess. No one is here. It’s so terrible.

There are two reasons. The first is probably due to the territoriality of the third-year student named ‘Veronica’ mentioned by senior Bun.

Second, the library itself is a place that students do not like. Honestly, isn’t it better to have a sword fight outside and engage in an activity called sparring or play than reading a boring book in a library?

I don’t know if the books in the library are fantasy novels or miscellaneous stories that are entertainment, but the books here are mostly ancient documents, history books, or ‘Why should humans live?’ It’s just a philosophy book like that. Very occasionally, it is said that deviant students hide pornographic stories like treasures, but they are literally treasures. It’s not something you see often.

Eden Academy evaluates both practical and written exams, that is, theory and practice. In terms of proportion, about 60 in written and 40 in practical?

However, Eden Academy’s writing is not at the level of searching for ancient documents or history books. Because one of the Academy’s purposes is to evaluate an individual’s level of military power and magical power. The academy’s writing skills are at a level where you can get a full score just by mastering the textbook.

Naturally, the number of students coming to the library decreases. I wonder if it would smell more like a person if there was a librarian… .

According to what Maria of the Night said, the librarian at the Eden Academy library is always away. A tomboyish alcoholic who likes to drink outside the academy or something. The librarian is such a jerk that the students have nothing to say.

Of course, students eventually come to even such a bad library. That was Maria in her previous life. An avid reader who attended the library every day for three years while in school and read all the books in the library.

In this life, there will be two of us.

“Hiyaa… It’s spacious.”

“That’s right. It’s spacious.”

“I haven’t seen a library this large since the West Building of Seonghwangcheong… !”

“Maria grew up only in Seonghwangcheong. I’ve never seen any other libraries before.”

“Oh… ! Yeah, right… .”

“Haha, just kidding. So don’t be too discouraged. I’ve never seen such a large library before.”

Maria entered the library and ran inside like a girl. It’s hard to imagine that this is the usual Maria, full of manners and formality.

One, there are only two of us here now. This is why Maria does not go through extravagant ceremonies.

“Hehe… There won’t be anyone there… ?”

“Don’t worry. Because there is no one here right now.”

“How do you know that?”

“Gi-gam. When I turn on my energy, I can feel the presence around me. Of course, it is not easy to catch someone who is stronger or similar to me, but I can assure you that there are less than twenty people on this continent, right?”

He muttered the words slyly. Maria tells jokes too! He said that and ignored it without notice.

“Wow… Look at the bookshelf. There are dozens of bookshelves that are very tall and very wide.”

“That means there are a lot of books. Maria, would you like to read one right away?”

“Well, is that okay?”

“What can’t be done? Or, are you just looking at that third-year senior? Are you afraid that if you are caught reading a book, you might hear something?”

Maria spun around with her arms outstretched towards the bookshelves. The sight of white snow powder fluttering was extremely fascinating.

“Oh, no… ! I just wanted to know if I could read it… !”

“If you want to read, read. If someone comes and says something, I will clean it up. Maria says she wants to do that, but who dares say that?”

“Yes… lol. I feel reassured when you say that.”

A quiet and empty library. Maria took out the first book she saw from the nearest bookshelf. The title of the book was ‘Holy Church, History, and Paradox’, but even just looking at the cover, it was a book that gave off an old-fashioned feel.

Nevertheless, Maria looked happy. She walked to the desk at a brisk pace and lightly placed her butt on the chair. The book neatly placed on the desk fluttered, and I turned the first page.

New sunlight came through the window and illuminated Maria. Her skin and hair, as white as a magnolia, matched well with the grace of sunlight. It looked like a masterpiece painted by a famous painter.

I stood there and watched, holding my pounding heart. Ha, this looks too provocative to me.

Ordinary beings feel excited when a member of the opposite sex appears attractive. Wearing bold clothes, dressing up nicely, or drinking alcohol to make the other person look attractive.

me too. What’s unique is that I feel pleasure and attraction when I see Maria sitting neatly like that and reading a book like a ‘saint’?

As I was exhaling excitedly and trying to fill my head with dopamine, Maria turned to me and coaxed me.

“Mr. Evans, if you’re going to stay still like that, why don’t we come over and read together? You’ve already joined a reading club.”

Needless to say. I nodded immediately.

I immediately sat down next to Maria. She was reading a book intently.

I am not interested in such human type combinations. Instead, it’s better to have a conversation with Maria.

So, as I was thinking about what topic to talk about, I suddenly asked about something I could see.

“This book explains the paradox of the church. Is it okay for a saint to read this? Isn’t it Buddhist scripture?”

It was a question that could have been perceived as sensitive, but Maria answered it gently.

“Denominations were also created by people. Of course, there are bound to be contradictions and shortcomings. It is the priest’s duty to improve it.”

“If an ordinary person were to make that statement in front of Seonghwangcheong, wouldn’t they be dragged out?”

“It’s foolish. The Lord is perfect, but humans are not perfect. You don’t realize that if you don’t acknowledge it, progress will be slow.”

No, just because he’s the main god doesn’t mean he’s perfect.

Even young Mary is a saint. I patted Maria’s head as she spoke strangely.

“Now, Evans, let’s read together. This book is quite fun.”

“Is that so?”

Maria pulled my collar and led me towards her.

I was tempted and pressed against her side. A nice scent wafted through the air, tickling the tip of my nose.

However, the book is boring. A little much.

It points out the loopholes and paradoxes of the church, but to me, who used to talk obscenities about demons even when I was under the demons’ command, it was all too dull… … .

Yeah, plain… So this time is boring… … .

*****

“Cool… .”

Maria took a peek at the boy, who was sleeping soundly with his head resting on her shoulder.

The boy was sleeping with an extremely comfortable expression. The boy’s eyes lit up when she asked him to read a book with her, but he quickly fell asleep when Maria started muttering passages from the book.

“True… I can’t believe that someone who doesn’t like reading so much wants to join a reading club. Even if you like people, you are a very nice person.”

Maria closed the book for a moment and glanced at the girl occupying her shoulder. Soon he raised his hand and waved it in front of the boy.

The boy’s eyebrows did not respond. was in a deep sleep.

“Cool… Well, Maria… .”

‘hmm… I’m curious, so let’s take a look at the abdomen that was hit earlier… ? He said it was okay, but I don’t know… .’

People become curious when they are alone. Maria hesitated for a moment due to a rising sense of immorality, but moved her hand carefully and secretly.

Sreuk-.

The small index finger lifted the noodles. The hem of the clothes covering the sleeping boy’s stomach was lifted helplessly.
