The back room that felt and looked older than it really was wasn't as brightly lit as the store, but it was still bright enough for Toz to make out the labels on the grimoires and read their descriptions without trouble. Though thanks to his refinement and the bond with the cats, Toz had excellent vision even in the dark, so it would have mattered even if there weren't any lights in the room.
The cats accompanied Toz as he walked among the shelves, slowly grazing all the grimoires with his eyes.
He quickly realized that a lot of the grimoires were duplicates and contained spells that were about as useful as Hugo's Dance. But he wasn't dissuaded. He knew even before they entered the back room that it was very unlikely they would find something like the grimoire Hassandra got for him at once. If anything, they would probably have to rummage through all the grimoires before they found something interesting.
