Kyouka blushed a bit when Gog told her that books lie. She didn't really know much outside the books. They were her only companions in the past. Journeying with Nekoboro had opened her eyes on lots of things, but most of what written were true. well, she must admit that human knowledge is limited...

"This, meow?" Addressing his book, Nekoboro purred. "I don't think it would be something bad by human standard. This is a diary of my father, meow. Someone put this magical binding on it, and now I can't read it anymore, meow. I want to read it, meow..."

The cat hugged the book longingly.

Elder Troll...they had not much luck asking people in the land. Perhaps asking the Trolls would yield some good result. "Ah, if that's so, could you bring us to your elder, Mister Gog?"

"Yes, bring us to elder trole. I can adventure together with Gog-trole and Lia, meow~"

Nekoboro rubbed his face on Gog's leg, then climbed to Lia's shoulder. He purred happily.

"Aah...so soft, meow. Better than Kyouka, meow. Lia, will you be Kyouka, meow?"

"S...sir Nekoboro...are you throwing me away...?"

Kyouka slumped with despair...
