Chapter 2. A Gold Star for Excellent Work!
The warm season transitioning from late spring into summer.
I’ve already been here for a full two weeks.
Today, Lina dressed me in a pristine white hooded one-piece dress with floppy rabbit ears dangling from the hood.
The pink frills fluttering at the hem of the skirt looked like flower petals, and it made me so happy!
I’m so happy!
“The Library is down these stairs and then to the left. Are you absolutely certain you’ll be fine going alone?”
“Yep! I promise!”
Lina had originally wanted to escort me all the way to the Library entrance, but I refused.
I can walk around confidently on my own!
“Good morning.”
When I arrived at the Library, there was no one inside.
Still, I greeted the empty space out of habit.
After closing the door firmly behind me, I opened my eyes wide at the vast Forest of Books before me.
‘There’s… so many!’
How am I supposed to find anything in here?
What I need is… information about spirits.
‘I’m curious about the names of the Spirit Kings.’
And I want to make contracts with them if I can!
Over the past days, I’d been investigating by asking around.
‘Spirits? Even Spirit Kings? If you could make contracts with them, that would be wonderful!’
First, Kamin said this to me—
‘Hehehehe, if you manage to contract with a Spirit King, I’ll give you something quite nice. I’ll even set aside time for us to have tea together, separate from my usual schedule.’
The Household Master Grandfather said this with what seemed like a proud expression.
‘It would be nice if it works out, but don’t push yourself too hard if it doesn’t.’
The Admiral said this as well—
‘Oh! I’m sure you’ll succeed!’
‘That’s right! But if you contract with a Fire Spirit, could you send one to the Kitchen hearth too? It’s been acting up lately…’
‘And a Water Spirit for the dishes too, please!’
Hans and the Maid Aunts from the Kitchen shouted this.
Even the Gardener I bumped into while playing around slipped me a roasted sweet potato and said this—
‘If it’s possible, well, ahem, could you send just one Earth Spirit my way?’
So it seemed like everyone was hoping I’d contract with a Spirit King.
Since I eat delicious meals here and wear pretty clothes, I wanted to grant everyone’s wishes if I could.
“Let’s see…”
There was no Teacher in the Library.
It was incredibly quiet.
With a feeling that I shouldn’t run, I moved carefully as I explored.
‘Huh?’
How long had I been wandering around?
Beyond the Forest of Books, the space suddenly opened up into an expansive room.
There were plush sofas and cushions that looked like fluffy clouds, scattered everywhere.
A desk sat behind them, and a large window stood to the side.
“…!”
And beside that wide-open window, someone was asleep.
Quietly, barely breathing at all.
“Wow….”
Without thinking, I whispered those words and quickly covered my mouth, afraid I might wake them.
Fortunately, they seemed to still be asleep, so I exhaled in relief and approached carefully.
Because I simply couldn’t help myself.
‘He’s male, right?’
For a moment, I mistook my older brother for a girl—he was truly beautiful.
Full lips and rounded cheeks.
Soft, pale pink hair falling across his forehead and a pallid complexion.
A slender frame and a relaxed posture.
Everything about him seemed to shimmer in my eyes.
Brother, you look like a spring blossom tree!
‘I have pink hair too.’
This older brother has pink hair as well!
Having drawn close to my brother without realizing it, I grinned as I found our commonality.
That was when it happened.
Swish.
Long eyelashes fluttered once, and eyes the color of magenta—just like the Admiral’s—turned toward me.
Unlike what I’d imagined, his gaze was cool and distant, which dampened my spirits somewhat, but I pressed forward with my greeting.
I wanted to become friends!
Because, because….
He’s so pretty!
“Hello.”
“What?”
His voice came out sharp and irritated, like an arrow.
I flinched slightly, but I explained why I was here.
“I’m looking for a book.”
“And?”
“I can’t reach it. I’m too short to pull the book down.”
If there were an adult around, I would have asked them.
I wiggled my toes as I waited for his response.
My older brother studied me for a moment, then seemed to realize something and let out a small laugh.
“Ah, so you’re the new younger sibling everyone’s been talking about.”
“You know Chuuu?”
“I’ve heard about it. How you threw out Ricardo, who didn’t know his place. I rather liked that.”
As soon as he realized who I was, his tone became noticeably gentler.
I rolled my eyes around nervously and swallowed hard.
Not an adult, not a peer my own age either.
This was my first time talking to an older brother who seemed so impossibly large.
Fortunately, he continued the conversation for me.
“Can you read?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Well, Awakened ones learn everything faster than others anyway, so there’s nothing strange about it.”
Cough, cough.
As he said this, he sat up and broke into a fit of harsh coughing.
Seeing how frail he looked, I couldn’t help but feel taken aback.
“What book?”
“Um, well, I’m curious about spirits.”
“So you want to learn about the Spirit King. I’ll find it for you.”
Cough, cough.
This nameless older brother navigated the Forest of Books as easily as a squirrel.
Shortly after, three books were cradled in his arms.
『Let’s Visit the Forest of Spirits!』
『A Proper Spirit Compendium』
『Musings on the Life of a Spirit Summoner』
The first book was a fairy tale.
The second was a dictionary filled with illustrations, and the third was… I don’t know. Too difficult.
As I looked at the book titles, I suddenly stopped upon discovering another book.
“Could you pull that one out too?”
“About Viju? Sure.”
『What is Viju? Even a Goldfish Can Understand!』
A simple title that conveyed its contents at a glance.
This nameless older brother stacked the books I wanted to read on the desk.
Following along, I caught a glimpse of the thick book he appeared to have been reading.
『Reflections on the Mystery of Death and My Personal Experience of Actually Dying for a Moment』
Death?
“Brother, you died?”
