Just as I stepped in with my right foot, I heard someone shout.

Upon entering the room, the door closed automatically.

"What's going on here?" Exusiai pushed open the door in confusion, only to find that it was a storage room.

Nothing.

Weiming is not there either.

"It's probably some kind of magic. Let's wait here."

To be precise, Weiming entered another space.

This is a room filled with books.

Before me stood a girl with golden, spiral-shaped twin tails, looking displeased.

The girl had snow-white, translucent skin and light blue eyes with pink slits in the shape of an "X".

She has long, light-colored hair that is almost creamy, braided into a double ponytail with vertical curls.

A girl in a dress with ornate ruffles gives off an impression of being endearing and lovable.

The girl stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Weiming, the intruder.

Regarding this, Wei Ming expressed his innocence, saying, "You were the one who spied on me first."

"Betty only sensed a powerful magical force and glanced at it to ensure the safety of the library."

The girl named Betty stood tall and proud, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she had done something wrong.

Wei Ming ignored her and instead wandered around looking at the bookshelves.

“Hey, this is the forbidden library. You’re not allowed to look around here. If you don’t leave on your own, Betty will forcibly kick you out.”

"Oh, do as you please."

Wei Ming casually walked to a book that had been deliberately placed on a lonely table.

He held out his hand.

"Don't touch it!"

Betty yelled, but Weiming didn't stop at all.

Betty is going to kick you out!

Betty activated her spatial powers in an attempt to expel the unknown.

But it turned out to have no effect.

He had already picked up the book.

He easily turned the pages, one after another, but they were all blank, without any text.

"Is this the Gospel?" It was the first time he had held it in his hands to examine it, and it seemed that there was no revelation on it.

"You know the Gospels?"

A slight ripple stirred in Betty's heart at the thought of someone who could break into this place and know the Gospels.

"Roswaal also has a copy, but yours has no words on it."

"..."

As expected... there was no revelation.

With a dim look in her eyes, Betty said in a low voice, "Now you can go out, right?"

"I'm Emilia's guest, is it really okay for you to kick me out like this?" Wei Ming acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, like someone who was busy with homework and couldn't be driven away.

"Everything outside is none of Betty's business; the forbidden library is under Betty's control."

She was expressing that she was the owner of this place and had the right to drive others away.

But Wei Ming not only ignored him, but also went further: "My name is Wei Ming, what's your name?"

Betty's abilities were used to frame this person, and she said coldly with a stern face, "Betty."

Wei Ming knew, of course, that she was Betty.

An elf, created by Echidna.

He brandished the Gospel in his hand: "You, like Roswaal, follow the revelations of the Gospel?"

Betty gritted her teeth and didn't reply.

"Why don't you tell me what kind of prophecy you are following? I like to hear stories."

Wei Ming was already sitting with the others, his legs crossed, his right hand holding the Gospel book against his cheek, looking like he was listening to a story.

Amidst the glittering gold, a bottle of beer appeared in his hand.

"I have beer, you have stories."

"..."

This intruder is so annoying; Betty doesn't even know him.

Why ask so many questions!

What good is it to know about prophecies and revelations?

That prophecy...

Betty lowered her head.

A few moments.

Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Betty must wait for the person revealed in the Gospel before she can sign a covenant with him and rewrite it, and only then can she leave this place freely."

Weiming: "How long have you been waiting?"

"...four hundred years."

Betty's memory seemed to have returned to the very beginning.

Her mother left her after leaving behind a vast library and a contract to wait for "that person".

After that, the Book of Destiny never provided any further guidance.

In this narrow, dark room.

Betty spent far too long a time.

Even if you read through that boundless sea of ​​books.

The person she had been waiting for still hadn't arrived.

The Gospels, which were supposed to guide her in her future, revealed nothing.

How many times has that loneliness torn the girl's heart to pieces?

I check countless times every day, hoping there will be new content in the book.

I believe that one day I will be able to fulfill my mission.

But as time went by, everyone left him.

The door opened and closed again and again, but it represented betrayal time and time again.

A fragile heart will eventually be worn down by the long wait.

Four hundred years—that's a significant portion of the world's history.

The age of witches, the end of chaos and the beginning of prosperity, the protection of the kingdom, and the contempt for half-elves.

Betty experienced everything from that era and is still alive today.

Such feelings are difficult for those who haven't experienced them to understand.

An endless promise, and a book of prophecy filled with blank pages.

This seemed like a joke Echidna was playing on Betty.

The mind of a witch is beyond comprehension.

Echidna is the Witch of Greed, a witch who can give up everything in pursuit of knowledge.

But Betty prayed for that person's arrival countless times over those 400 years.

Countless times the Book of Prophecy gave him instructions, but it was all just a dream.

Four hundred years have long since erased the initial expectations and prayers; what was once hopeful has long since turned into despair.

She couldn't even break free from the contract; her identity as an elf prevented her from giving up her life.

You have done so many evil deeds, Echidna.

Well, I was just curious.

Ha, as expected of the Witch of Greed.

By the way, isn't Betty your daughter?

Well, that's not entirely wrong.

Then you can say she's my daughter too.
