Chapter 1 - Sophie the Librarian

"S-sensual novel it is. I understand. If that's the case, the main item is literature, so you'll find it on the fourth floor, east area, over there, on shelf 913."

 The blue-haired librarian seemed a little confused by my sexual harassment talk, but she gave me a proper tour. She's a pro.

"And while I'm at it, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me how to beat the boss of the fifth layer of the Labyrinth of No Return."

 I'll tell her what I really want.

"If that's the case, the main item will be adventure, so it will be in the east area of the fourth floor, number 916. If you want to know more about the ecology and distribution of the monsters, you can go to #3 or #48."

"No, I've already seen that, I just need the strategy."

"If that's the case, then the 916 is the one I mentioned earlier. I can read it for you for a fee, if you like."

"Substitute reading? Does that mean that someone who can't read can have a staff member read it for them?"

"Yes, that is correct. Thirty minutes is ten gold."

 It's a little expensive for a night in a cheap hotel, but it doesn't matter to me now.

"Then, for two hours, please."

 I said, trying to keep my composure while keeping a hint of excitement in my heart.

 Wouldn't it be a great service to have a girl with such a clear voice read an erotic novel to me in a realistic way? No, she probably won't be able to give that level of realism, but I'll ask her to read it again (repeat). It's a time-based system, so it should be possible.

"Yes, I understand. Doria-san~, there's is a visitor who would like to read on your behalf."

"Oohh!"

 A thick voice answered.

 A fat, middle-aged man with a stern face came out from behind the counter. He was wearing the same color uniform as the librarian, but his physique was so different that he didn't look the same.

 Damn, so that's the story.

 If the librarian who was supposed to guide us had to read every book on our behalf, they would have no one to guide the visitor.

"So, what's the book?"

 The stern man asks me, twisting his body and holding up his pinky finger. ......

"He hasn't decided yet, but he'd like to have on number 913 sensual novels and on number 916 adventure-related books."

"Oh, sensual novels, yes, yes. Leave it to me, I'm good at that. I'll give you plenty of sensuality."

 The guy with the blue beard is trying to make a point.

 Damn it!

 I've taken most of the mental resistance skills, but how much damage is this doing?

 I used the skill almost unconsciously.

[Death Touch]

 It is a vicious skill copied from the level 86 Spectral Overlord, the Immortal King of Shadows.

 It is said that anyone who is touched by its cold-blooded hands will have their soul instantly sucked out and given death.

"M-master!"

"Ara, you can't, sir, you can't touch me here. But I work part-time at "Bar Morodassi" at night, so I'll let you touch me there."

"W-what the hell?"

 I was surprised to find out that he took no damage. This skill, at level 5 max, had even killed an A-ranked adventurer warrior instantly.

 Is the probability lower than I thought? 

"Ara, you weren't kidding when you said you've seen what I can do? If you answer me, you're in for a world of hurt."

 He took my wrist with his strong arm.

 Damn, what power. I can't get it off!

"D-Doria-san!"

"Master!"

"Just shut up, Sophie-chan."

"Ouch, ow, ow, ow! Wait, I'm sorry! That was an unintentional act of unconscious defensiveness. I'll erase this skill now."

"Ara, you're so clever. Go ahead, turn it off."

 He's got appraisal skills, too, doesn't he?

 Anyway, I'm overwhelmed in terms of ability, so I'll use [Reset Party Skills Lv5]. And it's not like I want to kill people unconsciously.

 I had left it behind because I thought I could use it for adventuring, but it seems safer to delete it.

 My【Reset Party Skills Lv5】can't remove a rare skill, but this skill is in the normal skill category.

[Death Touch Lv5] Deleted!

 I have gained about 20,000 skill points.

"Is this okay?"

"Yeah, I like kids who don't lie. And I'm sorry, sir. I messed with you, too."

"No, I'm sorry, too. I'd appreciate it if we could both just call it even, like nothing happened."

"Yeah, sure. And you puppy, I'm sorry I was so rude to your master."

"No. ......"

"By the way, let me ask you this: ...... are you training your [Instant Death Resistance]? You."

 I'm curious, even I haven't been able to max out my level.

"No way, no way, fufu, don't joke around. You can't possibly level up such a ridiculously expensive skill on a human. I just have an amulet with 100% instant death protection."

 Oh, so that's how it works.

"I'll reimburse you for the amulet then. I broke it, right?"

 If it's 100% protection, there should be some kind of limit on how many times you can use it instead.

"No, it's fine. This is an excellent thing that won't break."

 The man showed me a black ring and winked at me. Oee.

 But, 100% is a nice piece of equipment you have. I envy you.

"How can it last for 100%, it's an artifact!?

 The librarian girl's eyes widened, but it must be a very rare item.

"Fufu, don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Yes. But who are you, Doria-san?"

"Ara, Sophie-chan, we talked about that the other day. I'm just a humble retired adventurer." Ufu.

"Huuh."

"Anyway, over there, there's a new customer. Come on in. Oh, he ran away. Excuse me! Wait!"

"I'll go after them. So Doria-san you go after the visitor over there."

"Yes, I understand. What? Where did they go? Hey, visitor?"

 I'm glad I have the [Instantaneous Movement] and [Blocking Presence] skills.

 I'd die if I had to be sensually read to by that thing. It's a true death voice.

 As I was looking for a book on snowman strategy on the fourth floor bookshelf, Meena came to me.

 I don't have to worry too much about her getting separated from me, because she can smell me very sharply.

"Master, I apologize for not being able to protect you again. ......"

 As a matter of fact, her back, ears, and tail are drooping.

"Don't worry, there are some people that you, a level 29, can't handle. Not even I or Serina can handle that monster."

"But ......"

"It's a good thing that you're still alive and well. If you're safe, that's fine. And since you're my lover and my pet, you should smile for me. I'll be happier if you do."

 I say.

"Ah, yes, Master."

 Smiling Meena is still better.

"Now, then, let's find the book."

"Yes, master!"
