"Of course, Ram will be responsible for teaching Ayanokouji-sama how to write during this period. In a few days, Rem will go to the village in my territory to buy supplies. Ayanokouji-sama should go with Rem at that time."
Roswaal answered with a smile, "After all, the person you captured alive who tried to harm Emilia-sama has not woken up. I cast a spell where sel is imprisoned, so she will never be able to escape. I will definitely investigate clearly who tried to frame Emilia-sama."
"Please." Emilia nodded slightly at Roswaal. Although she looked very polite, there seemed to be a distance.
'Is it magic that can restrain a person's movements?'
At this moment, Ayanokouji was contemplating the extent of Roswaal's magical range.
The magic displayed by Emilia was already very powerful in his eyes, so Roswaal, as the head Mage of the Kingdom, must be much stronger.
What if Roswaal and Emilia became his enemies one day?
He needed a method to deal with magicians.
Moreover, Ayanokouji also became somewhat curious if he could master magic in this world.
❀❀❀
"Learning magic?"
In an apartment, a small girl with short hair and white skin spoke slowly, her face almost touching the TV.
She wore an eye patch over her right eye, a bandage on her left hand, and her messy hair stood high.
Takanashi Rikka.
"If I get a magic bonus, then the power of the Wicked Lord's True Eye, enough to destroy the world, will surely rise to the next level!"
Rikka whispered to herself in a low voice, her expressionless face looking very serious, and her left eye, unobstructed by the eye patch, revealing a bright scene.

Dinner ended quickly. Roswaal claimed there were some things he had to finish, so he left first, asking Rem to take Ayanokouji around the mansion, while Ram was responsible for cleaning the dishes in the dining room and returning to their rooms to rest first.
"This is the kitchen, this is the bathroom, this is the dressing room…"
Rem took Ayanokouji around almost the entire mansion, introducing every place.
Although Ayanokouji strongly sensed Rem's hostility towards him, she still carefully performed her duties as a maid, patiently and meticulously introducing the mansion's structure.
After seeing it only once, Ayanokouji already understood the layout of the entire mansion.
At the same time, a question arose in his mind: why was the entire mansion so large and yet there were no other staff except for the two maids and a forbidden library administrator?
As the Imperial border officer, Roswaal's territory was very ambiguous. It bordered another country and was easily disturbed and attacked by other nations. However, in such a dangerous area, only Roswaal was in his house, which made Ayanokouji somewhat curious.
Did Roswaal have absolute confidence in his own power? Or were these three people themselves the 'defense' of this mansion?
Ayanokouji didn't know for sure, but in his heart, he had already agreed that Ram, Rem, and Beatrice also had magical powers.
"Ayanokouji-sama, this is the bathroom." When they reached the end of the corridor, Rem slowly said, "This is almost the entire view of the mansion, do you have any questions?"
Ayanokouji sensed Rem's hostility and fear towards him, but he said nothing and pretended not to know.
"Yes." Ayanokouji nodded at her.
He noticed that Rem used the word 'almost', and the other party didn't take him to the forbidden library because she was wary of him or was the forbidden library a secret area?
It shouldn't be so. After all, Emilia had previously mentioned the existence of the Forbidden Library to him in front of everyone, indicating that the Forbidden Library was not a taboo or secret place.
So why hadn't Rem taken him to the forbidden library, was there another reason?
Ayanokouji slowly stepped forward, gently grasped the very luxurious door handle, and slowly pushed it open.
The room inside was very large. According to the mansion's structural diagram he had previously built in his mind, such a large room should not exist here.
'Is it because of magic?'
Ayanokouji's eyes moved around the room and focused on a row of bookshelves.
There was no doubt that this was not a bathroom, but the legendary forbidden library.
He knew that Rem certainly wouldn't make a silly joke like 'the forbidden library is the bathroom'. For some reason, she had turned the bathroom that originally existed in this space into a forbidden library.
'Is it because of magic again?' Ayanokouji guessed in his heart.
In the middle of the Forbidden Library, a girl named Beatrice was playing with Puck. After seeing Ayanokouji's arrival, her facial expression changed drastically to a kind of indifference.
"Did you really find the door of opportunity?" Puck, who was in Beatrice's arms, waved at him.
"Annoying man."
Beatrice also raised her hand, then a gust of wind roared, directly closing the door, without giving Ayanokouji a chance to enter the room.
"A unique way to greet." Ayanokouji said to himself.
He could feel that Beatrice's indifference towards him was different from Rem's hostility. Although Rem didn't show it, he had a very strong insight capable of detecting it sharply, while Beatrice didn't hide her arrogance and indifference towards him at all, but there was no great hostility.
And after the previous incident, Ayanokouji also decided that Beatrice was also a person with magical powers.
"This is Beatrice-sama's 'Door of Opportunity', which can connect the Forbidden Library to any door in the mansion. Once Beatrice-sama erases her aura, it cannot be found without opening all the doors in the mansion."
Rem on the side explained to Ayanokouji, which also made him understand the reason why the other party didn't take him to the Forbidden Library, because the Forbidden Library didn't have a fixed location here.
'Then Beatrice must have moved the Forbidden Library to another location.'
While Rem was speaking, Ayanokouji guessed that although he had only met Beatrice twice, he was already sure that the girl had a rather proud personality, somewhat similar to Horikita Suzune. Although such a person was difficult to obtain and at first, if she could trust him, she would become a very useful tool.
❀❀❀
In the classroom, watching the scene in the video, Horikita's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes, which had originally looked at the screen, were somewhat distracted.
The narration and Ayanokouji's inner activities in the video were like a public execution for her.
'Damn... Not just classmates in class, but maybe the entire school knows about me... Wait, this live broadcast won't be broadcast worldwide!'
Thinking of this possibility, the young girl's face turned red, turned around, as if looking for a point to vent, and sharply said to Ayanokouji next to her.
"Really, seeing a beautiful girl like that, did you really think of taking advantage of her!"
"Sorry, even though I've said it four times, I still want to say it again. This is just a video. There is no evidence that the person in the video is me."
Ayanokouji spoke slowly, but there seemed to be no intention to defend himself on his expressionless face.
In his heart, he didn't care at all about the age, appearance, or gender of others. He only cared if the people around him were useful to him.

'With Beatrice's character, she should have moved the Forbidden Library's location.' Ayanokouji thought to himself, and then with a mentality of trying, he walked to the door again, knocked on the door, and pushed it open again.
However, the scene inside had undergone a surprising change. Sure enough, the original forbidden library had disappeared and turned into the bathroom that should be in this mansion.
"Really?" He spoke slowly, then closed the door again, and began to guess where Beatrice would move the Forbidden Library.
'Where would she move it? Is it really random, or can Beatrice choose the door herself?'
Ayanokouji thought in his mind, and based on Beatrice's character, he walked in a certain direction and reached a certain room, 'Relatively, the likelihood of this room should be relatively high, but it is only a little higher compared to other rooms.'
At the same time, he hesitantly opened the door, and Beatrice was seen.
"This is amazing, Ayanokouji, you found it again!" Puck opened her eyes wide, smiled, and greeted him again.
And Beatrice slightly turned her head, her flower-like eyes fixed on Ayanokouji. There was a bit of pouting in her cold eyes, but it was more of a surprise.
'Why can this person find my door of opportunity again! ? Could it be he just... No, it must be a coincidence.'
A strange thought arose in Beatrice's mind. She didn't expect the other party to find the door of opportunity again in a short time. She used an arrogant expression to cover up her inner emotions.
"Get out!" Beatrice raised her hand and mercilessly shut Ayanokouji out again.
"Ah, now I'm really on the unwanted list." Ayanokouji said to himself, but there was no sign of concern on his expressionless face.
He had simply chosen the door he thought most likely, but he hadn't expected his guess to be correct.
Rem standing next to him, was also a little surprised that him was able to find the door to the Forbidden Library consecutively, but she quickly dismissed it as a coincidence.
"Ayanokouji-sama, do you have any questions?" Rem asked respectfully. Outwardly, she showed no signs of problems and treated him with great respect.
"Does someone need permission to enter the Forbidden Library?" Ayanokouji asked, slightly curious about its contents.
"In theory, as long as you can find the Door of Opportunity, you can enter the Forbidden Library." Rem slowly explained. "But whether you can stay inside or read the books depends on Beatrice-sama's permission."
"I see." Ayanokouji nodded. This indicated that Beatrice was a very important person.
If he wanted to read the contents of the Forbidden Library, he not only had to be able to understand the words in this world but also had to build a good relationship with Beatrice and earn her trust.
"If there's nothing else, I will escort Ayanokouji-sama back to your room first. I will notify Ayanokouji-sama when it's time for dinner." Rem said.
❀❀❀
"Have Betty trust him? How is that possible? He looks like a weirdo no matter how you look at it!"
Currently at Roswaal's mansion, Beatrice, who was leaning against the window, raised her head and looked at the sky, her mouth slightly pouting. She was holding a thick, old book in her hands, and her petite figure looked somewhat disproportionate.
"But how did this person find Betty's Door of Opportunity... could he be 'the one'?"
Beatrice's eyes, which had been gazing at the sky, moved slightly and slowly fixed on the book in her chest, her expression becoming deep and serious.
She opened the book and gently stroked the empty pages with her slender, white fingers.

The camera shifted, and in the blink of an eye, it was night. The sky outside was completely dark, with only a few stars hanging in the night sky.
After dinner, Ayanokouji had returned to his room.
Not long after, there was a light knock on the door.
"Please come in." He said slowly.
He knew that the person knocking at this time was Ram, who had come to teach him how to read.
