「Haruka-kun is trying to leave on his own after all.」?
?
「Yes, he seems to be preparing to go back.」?
?
「Gosh, even though he is living in the town without any problem?」?
?
「Well, there are actually plenty of problems…… But the townsfolk seem to have given up…… Like the guild for example……」?
?
「It’s only a guess, but I think Haruka-kun is waiting for Oda-kun and others. For Shimazaki-san…… and our sake……」?
?
「Why? Didn’t he tame us?! Why is he trying to leave?! Why is he abandoning us?! We didn’t do anything…… Anything……」?
?
「Let’s see… Isn’t there something? Like, that would make it so Haruka-kun won’t leave? Isn’t there something?」?
?
「Something like…… Not a weak point…… But you get what I mean?」?
?
「Using your bodies is a no-no…… Don’t even think……」?
?
「Ehm, there is something that will prevent him from going away, but it’s not here.」?
?
「「「「「Eh?! What is it?!」」」」?
?
「A library.」?
?
As expected of a librarian…… Eh, wait, it wouldn’t work. Establishing a library just to stop him…… No, if it’s a building alone, then he might be able to make it himself. And a pretty extravagant one.?
?
If he hears that he will be able to read a lot of books, he might do it overnight…… He surely will. If he hears about a library, Sagrada Família[1. TL Note: One of the most otherworldly buildings in our world. Looks more like a very elaborate video game prop than an actual building. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia] will certainly be built in this world, and much faster than in our original one.?
?
In that case, if the town had a library, he absolutely, without a doubt, will remain here. He won’t go anywhere, and even if people try to force him out, he will remain, forcibly occupying the city.?
?
Yes, after all, the Haruka-kun that I know, has been constantly reading books for all 11 years that I know him.?
?
Always, all the time.?
?
That’s probably what he wants the most.?
?
We received a lot.?
?
We received all kinds of things from Haruka-kun.?
?
After all, we are still alive only thanks to that.?
?
Yet, we didn’t give him anything in return.?
?
There is nothing we can do.?
?
And today as well, we probably will just end up talking about what we should do or what would be the best thing to do……?
?
And once again we will continue until someone starts crying, unable to continue anymore…… And we will just keep thinking…… And thinking…… And thinking.?
?
Because I told them. Because I ended up telling them the reason.?
?
「The reason why Haruka-kun is trying to go back to the cave is probably because he wants to prevent the boys from coming here.」?
?
Because it will put us and Oda-kun’s group at risk.?
?
I think he intends to stop them there.?
?
So we won’t get killed……?
?
So we won’t have to kill……?
?
He wants to do all of that on his own.?
?
But,?
?
No matter how strong he is, there is the level wall.?
?
Even if he is stronger than anyone else, he still might get killed.?
?
No matter how strong he is, he might still get killed.?
?
Even so, he wants to do this on his own.?
?
Even if he is stronger than everyone else, no matter how much stronger, even though he is weaker than everyone else…… Frailer than everyone else…… In the most dangerous position……?
?
For now, I confiscated his money. This should delay his preparations for a while.?
?
Meanwhile…… Until the day comes……
