Chapter 9: Book Search

Furano took off her cloak and carried it in her right hand, then removed her holstered spellcaster handgun from her waist and carried it in her left hand.

“Save to inventory.”

The cloak and handgun in Furano’s hands began to disintegrate into light grains quickly until they finally disappeared. Furano now wore a short-sleeved shirt, trousers, and women’s boots. Furano walked closer to the office attire shop and entered through the entrance.

Inside the shop, Furano looked around her with a curious expression. This shop sells various designs of suits, overcoats, shoes, waistcoats, suit vests, ties, belts, trousers, hats, watches, etc., for men and women. These clothes are displayed in tall and long display closets with niche lights on the closets’ ceilings, and some are displayed on long racks.

Furano’s attention was drawn to the women’s suit jacket on display here. Furano tried on the black suit jacket before one of the tall mirrors, which fit perfectly. Furano took off her suit jacket and then walked towards the cashier counter, and she was greeted kindly by this shop’s employees. Furano took out her wallet from her trouser pocket, paid for her suit jacket, and then walked out of the shop. Before the shop, Furano put on her suit jacket and then walked away.

Furano walked on a quiet pedestrian street with various buildings on her right and left while pulling out her holstered handgun and cloak from inside the black panel, then put them back on. Furano walked towards the office building with a row of automatic sliding glass double doors entrances locked with rolling shutter doors before them; this building is next to the Wizard Government of Spain building. Furano walked while drawing her handgun of spellcaster from its holster and aimed it at the surveillance camera here.

“False image.”

Furano fired her handgun, and it hit the surveillance camera here, which then caused a blast of wind energy that hit another surveillance camera before this building. Furano aimed her handgun at one of the automatic sliding glass doors before her.

“Secret door.”

Furano fired her handgun at the rolling shutter door; carvings were formed into a dark brown wooden single door. Furano opened the door from her magic and walked inside the office building. After Furano passed through the door, it closed itself and disappeared again.

Furano arrived at the spacious guest hall of this building with a height combining two levels of the building, with a long front desk made of carved wood in the center of the room. Furano walked to the left and followed the corridor that led to the left side of the building. Furano arrived before one of the double doors, opened it, and walked inside. Furano arrived in a spacious office room with many desks around the room with a wide table in the center. Furano appeared to realize something and noticed the armored cloak on her body.

“I’d better take off this cloak, so as not to arouse suspicion.”

Furano took off her black armored cloak and carried it with both hands.

“Save into inventory.”

The cloak in her hands began to disintegrate quickly into light grains until the cloak finally disappeared completely. Furano also removed her holstered handgun at her waist, then put it inside her suit jacket. Furano now wore a short-sleeved shirt covered with a black suit jacket, trousers, and women’s boots.

Furano walked towards the wall on one side of this room, which led to the Wizards Government building behind it. Furano was silent in thought momentarily.

“I have to be more careful to the wizards who using magical device that can detect the presence from outside the first Earth, because I am not wearing my cloak now.”

Furano appeared to realize something.

“Now, I just need to detect if the situation is safe behind this wall. If it’s at close range, I should be able to feel the magical energy of those wizards.”

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Furano stood closer to the wall before her and concentrated while closing her eyes.

[User’s Status]

[Sense: 70]

Furano could sense that the situation might be safe behind this wall because she didn’t feel any magical energy from wizards within a short distance around her.

“Okay, I think it’s safe.”

Furano took out her spellcaster handgun under her suit jacket and aimed it at the wall before her.

“Secret door.”

The pattern on Furano’s handgun glowed; she then fired the gun. A light shot quickly from Furano’s handgun and hit the wall. Not long after, a carving appeared on this wall quickly and formed a wooden single door. Furano put her handgun back into its holster behind her suit jacket, opened the door before her, and then walked in.

Furano arrived at a corridor with only a few people passing by and didn’t really notice Furano's arrival and just walked away further. After passing through the door, Furano closed the wooden door behind her; the door then disappeared gradually quickly until it finally disappeared completely. Furano looked around her; she was in a wide corridor connecting wooden double doors with framed glass panes. Furano thought.

“Good, I managed to get into this building.”

Furano walked down this corridor and turned towards the center of the building as she thought.

“When I think about it again, the advantages I get from using the system are very useful, I will continue to develop it, after this I should evaluate it.”

Furano walked while observing her surroundings.

“I wonder where do they keep the book of dimensional magic’s copy.”

Not long after, Furano saw two men wearing suits, loafers, and carrying attache case bags walking out of one of the rooms. One of the men carrying the Existence Sword sheathed in the baldric at his waist said.

“I have to meet Daganzo first, I have to give him a copy of the Book of Dimensional Magic as requested by the Prime Minister. You can go first.”

The man on the left appeared to realize something.

“So that’s why you prepared your Existence Sword. That means we have another new member on the Scout Division.”

The man on the right nodded.

“Yeah, I’m curious, how is second Earth looked like?”

The man on the left smiles.

“I’m curious too, just like you, hahaha. I hope not only Scout Division are given copies of that book, so we can go there too.”

The man on the right smiled.

“Unfortunately that probably won’t happen any time soon.”

The man on the left nodded and looked disappointed.

“Alright then, I’ll go home first.”

They then walked in different directions. Furano, who was not too far away from them, listened to their conversation.

“A copy of the Book of Dimensional Magic? What a coincidence...”

Furano began to follow the man carrying the Existence Sword before her warily at a not-too-far distance.

While following the man before her, Furano saw the classic modern-style buildings around her, with walls decorated with beautiful carvings and wall lamps illuminating many parts of the building. As Furano approached the center of the building, the atmosphere around her became increasingly crowded, with people wearing suits and some of them covered in overcoats.

Furano arrived in the spacious hall at the center of the building, which had a beautifully carved black fountain with a ceiling reaching the top of the building and a structure of eight groups of buildings towering to the top floor, connected by spiral stairs and bridges. The bridges on each floor make these groups of buildings form an octagon shape without a bridge in the center.

The center of this building still looks quite busy, with people walking or riding broomsticks to move between floors. Many cloth billboards are hanging down on horizontal poles attached to each story of the building’s center, displaying a moving image of the Wizard Government of Spain’s Prime Minister, and some of the cloth billboards display the emblem of Wizard Government of First Earth and Wizard Government of Spain which alternate with each other at regular intervals. While walking, Furano’s attention was divided by these cloth billboards.

“They have even added the words First Earth to their government emblem….”

Furano’s attention was then drawn to several people watching the news about Black Star on the TVs mounted on the open hallways’ railing, with various expressions. Furano’s expression turned curious as she thought.

“It seems like Black Star’s presence is quite bothering them....”

Furano’s attention returned to the man she was following.

The man before Furano entered one of the elevators with glass walls, followed by several other people. Following quite far behind, Furano quickened her steps and also entered the elevator. The elevator door closed and then moved up. Furano looked at the view outside the glass walls of this elevator with an amazed expression.

“This building is very magnificent inside....”

Sometime later, the elevator reached the 30th floor, the elevator doors opened, and several people walked out of the elevator. The man followed by Furano also walked out of the elevator; Furano then walked after him.

Furano arrived at one of the wide open hallways in one of the buildings’ group, then leaned her body forward on the open hallway’s railing and waited momentarily to keep her distance from the man she followed. Furano looked around her carefully and saw the man she follows walking into one of the wide corridors.
