After Sally fell to the ground, Sei Itō slowly walked up to her and chuckled, "Heh, since the soft approach didn't work, I guess I'll have to use the hard approach." Then, with a thought, he put Sally, who had only fainted because of his mental attack, into the Rubik's Cube world. He would deal with her when he had time.
Then, Sei Itō tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and returned to Merlin Street the way he came.
When he left, he didn't use his full speed because he had to follow Sally and the others, so he spent some time on the way back. But he didn't need to do so at all on the way back. He just used his maximum speed and set foot on the bluestone street of Merlin Street in a little over a minute.
'Looks like there's a lot to learn about the Rubik's Cube.' Sei Itō thought to himself as he once again walked on the bluestone street toward the library in the center of Merlin Street.
A moment later, Sei Itō finally arrived in front of the library, which had a similar architectural style to the outside. It was a square building. Sei Itō then followed the crowd that had also come to the library to read and walked into the large library.
"My apologies, Sir, this is not a place where ordinary people can enter." Just as Ito Sei was about to pass through the gate, a staff member on the side suddenly came in front of him, reached out and stopped him, and calmly stated.
"Eh, I can't just go in and take a look?" Because of the existence of the Rubik's Cube, Sei Itō, who was basically an ordinary person, looked at the staff member in astonishment.
"Yes, Sir. Because the entire library is set up with hundreds of large and small magic arrays and magic traps, this is too dangerous for ordinary people who don't have any magic knowledge or the ability to identify them. Therefore, ordinary people are forbidden to enter, "the staff member explained.
"Oh, is that so?" Sei Itō said with a look of understanding.
"If Sir wants to read books, you can go to the library on West Merlin Street. There is a library area for ordinary people there," the staff member kindly reminded Sei Itō after seeing that he understood.
"Thank you, I understand." Sei Itō thanked him and nodded to the staff before turning around and leaving the library, heading towards the so-called West Plum Street Library.
Sei Itō thought to himself as he walked away from the library, "I think the library only has basic magic books. Otherwise, why would there be a browsing area for ordinary people?" Halfway through, he suddenly turned and walked towards a building that looked very much like a hotel in the outside world.
"Welcome." As soon as he walked into the building, The waitress, who looked like a welcoming lady, greeted them.
"Welcome to Holiday Inn. How may I help you, sir? " A female staff member asked Sei Itō with a smile as he walked up to the counter.
"It really is a hotel." Sei Itō thought to himself when he heard the female staff member's words. He then looked at the staff member and said, "Please give me a room."
"Sir, what standard room would you like?" the staff asked.
"Give me a deluxe room," Sei Itō, who was not short of money, replied without thinking.
"Would you like a room with mana source or a room without mana source?" Originally, he thought that the inquiry was over. The staff member who was supposed to give him a room asked again.
"Those with Mana Source." That was what he meant. Sei Itō, who had some guesses about the so-called mana source, made up his mind.
"Please choose a level of mana source," the staff member asked again.
"How many levels of mana sources are there?" Sei Itō, who did not know much about mana sources, asked.
"Our hotel provides mana sources in three major categories. There are nine sub-categories. Sir, according to the room you choose, you can choose from the fourth to the sixth category of mana sources. The fourth category of mana sources can provide mana activity for the room for four hours a day, and so on for the other categories. For each category, it will increase by one hour, "the staff member explained to Sei Itō in detail.
"Give me a deluxe room of the fourth category," Sei Itō, who did not have mana, did not know magic, and did not feel anything about mana sources, decided.
"Okay." The staff member nodded in agreement. Then, she lowered her head and started working on the computer under the counter.
"It seems that the magic world is also keeping up with the times." Sei Itō glanced at the computer the staff member was using and found that it looked very novel. It was a model that did not belong to the outside world at all.
"Sir, please pay the room fee first," the staff member said after taking the receipt and holding the key in her hand.
"How much?" Sei Itō asked.
"Thirty-eight merlin gold," the staff member said.
Sei Itō nodded and took out the card with merlin gold from his pocket. He handed it to the staff member and paid the room fee.
"Jace, please take this gentleman to the next room." After ten seconds, the staff member who handed the card and the key to Sei Itō tilted her body and shouted to a young male staff member standing in the hall.
"Okay." The staff member named Jace agreed and quickly walked to Sei Itō's side. He leaned slightly and extended his arm, "Sir, please follow me."
Sei Itō nodded and followed the staff member named Jace to the elevator on the side. They took the elevator to the deluxe room on the eighth floor of the hotel.
"Your tip," Sei Itō took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to Jace when the door was about to close.
"Thank you, sir." Jace reached out to take the bill and thanked him. But both Jace and Sei Itō knew how perfunctory his gratitude was.
"Bang!" Sei Itō ignored Jace outside the door and slammed the door. Then, he walked into the room while thinking, "Should've lived in the Demon Realm for so long. He doesn't even care about US dollars. Does he really expect me to reward him with merlin gold?"
Then, Sei Itō walked into the bedroom and put aside his boring thoughts. First, he summoned Sally, who was still in a coma, and put her on the bed in the bedroom. Then, he walked to the side and sat down on the chair made of unknown plants that exuded a faint fragrance that calmed people's heart. He took out a magic book that he bought from Old Val's shop and began to read quietly to learn the magic knowledge of the main world.
Itogami was so engrossed in the chanting that a few hours had passed unknowingly.
"En …" At this moment, a painful groan suddenly sounded and attracted the attention of Sei Itō who was concentrating on reading.
"Am I not dead …?" Sally muttered to herself as she sat up on the bed with a hand on her forehead. Her expression was still filled with confusion.
"Yes, you're not dead yet." After hearing Sally's muttering, Sei Itō said with a chuckle.
"Ah!" Sally, who was startled by Sei Itō's sudden voice, subconsciously let out a scream. Then, she moved her body in a panic, but the panicked Sally didn't notice the change in her environment at all. Soon, she slipped off the bed and fell heavily on the ground.
"Plop!"
"Where is this?" After this fall, Sally, who had completely recovered, stood up from the ground with her hand on the edge of the bed while looking around and asked.
"You've calmed down quite quickly. I'm starting to see you in a different light." Sei Itō first praised Sally, who had calmed down so quickly. Then, he explained, "This is the Holiday Inn on Merlin Avenue West Street. This is the room I booked at the hotel."
"Holiday Inn …" Sally murmured to herself with a nostalgic expression when she heard this.
"Looks like you're very familiar with it." Sei Itō asked.
"That's none of your business." Sally, who was interrupted by Sei Itō's question, said coldly with a displeased expression. Then, she looked at Sei Itō, who had been sitting in his seat and looking at her without moving, and said, "What do you want from me?"
"Knowledge. Knowledge about magic and witchcraft." Sei Itō showed the book in his hand to Sally. Then, without waiting for Sally to open her mouth and say something, he continued, "I think your life must be very poor right now."
"So what?" Sally raised her head like a proud little swan and looked straight at Sei Itō without blinking.
"I'll hire you to be my magic consultant for the time being. You'll be able to explain the magic questions I don't understand. What do you think?" Sei Itō looked at Sally with a smile.
"I've said it before. I won't teach the magic I know to someone I don't approve of, even if I teach in a different way. So give up." Sally looked at Sei Itō with disdain.
"You're very stubborn. But forget it. If you really don't want to be my magic consultant, you can leave now. I'll find a suitable person to be my magic consultant." Sei Itō shrugged and lowered his head to read the book in his hand again.
"You're willing to let me go?" Sally looked at Sei Itō with disbelief.
"That's right. To me, the magic knowledge in your head is of some use to me. As for the rest …" Sei Itō looked Sally up and down and shook his head with a smile. He then lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand again.
"You!" Sally completely understood what Sei Itō meant. Her face first flushed red, then darkened. She pointed at him and shouted angrily.
"Hmph!" Then, she remembered that she couldn't do anything to Sei Itō. She snorted coldly and quickly walked to the door, opened it, and dashed out.
"Bam!" Sally slammed the door angrily.
"You're still so arrogant even after your family has fallen. I don't know if I should say that your ego and vanity are too strong, or that you're just asking for it," Sei Itō murmured to himself as he glanced at the door.
