I dropped the shoes I was holding. But without time to pick them up, I rushed over and hurriedly covered the priest’s mouth.

Perhaps due to shock, the priest remained still with my hand over his mouth.

What should I do now? It would be troublesome if I’m caught right now.

Should I try to bluff a little?

The people of this world are generally favorable towards me.

I’m not sure if it only applies to men, but anyway, the person in front of me is a man, so it should work.

“Will you swear not to scream?”

As the priest shook his head left and right, the glasses he was wearing wobbled.

He’s honest, at least.

Fortunately, he didn’t try to remove my hand. He even rubbed his lips against my palm.

I quickly removed my hand and put it behind my back, then offered the excuse I had come up with.

“I am the God of Books.”

“The… The God of Books, you say?”

“Yes. I’m a deity who goes around various libraries to inspect their conditions.”

But was this place polytheistic?

The question occurred to me belatedly, making me regret my words, but the priest immediately knelt before me.

“Oh, deity.”

Wait, is it okay to believe this so quickly?

“A few days ago, I heard a divine voice in my dream. It was you!”

“That’s right.”

It wasn’t, but I nodded anyway.

“You are much smaller and more delicate than I imagined, deity.”

“There’s no need to be big necessarily.”

“So the saying ‘Don’t judge everything by appearances’ was indeed spoken by the God of Books.”

Watching the priest who had quietly accepted this on his own, I continued speaking in a mystical tone.

“It has changed a lot since I was here last.”

I actually don’t know if it has changed or not.

I’m just pretending to have lived for a long time.

“Yes, actually, 13 years ago, we had a major renovation of the library, so the structure changed a bit.”

Ah, I see.

“Shall I guide you?”

“Yes, please.”

Since I don’t know where the book I want is, it would be better to ask while pretending to inspect.

“This area is a bit messy as it’s being organized. Shall we go to that side first?”

The priest’s voice trembled as if there was an earthquake.

“Alright.”

I replied, pretending not to notice, and followed behind the priest.

The neat-looking priest with ash-gray hair kept blushing and glancing at me.

In novels, isn’t this where they would have passionate intercourse, causing the bookshelves to shake and books to fall with a thud?

But I’m a good person… No, I don’t want to do that.

It’s strange. How can I be this insensitive?

I was surprised at myself, but without showing it, I relaxed my hands that were behind my back. The priest glanced at my hands and asked in a trembling voice.

“C-Could you perhaps bestow your divine blessing again?”

“Pardon?”

“I… I want to touch the deity’s palm.”

The priest’s face was completely flushed.

When I nodded, the priest immediately knelt before me. Then he took my hand and started rubbing his lips against my palm.

The priest’s lips were soft and plump.

However, it was a strange sensation, different from any lip touch I knew.

Suddenly, someone else’s lips came to mind, and I pulled my hand back.

The priest’s green eyes became dazed. As if he didn’t know what had happened.

Thinking he might not move if left alone, I gently tapped the priest’s cheek.

“Ah, nghh! Ah!”

What’s with this one’s reaction?

“Bring me my shoes.”

The library floor was wooden, so it wasn’t cold. Still, I shouldn’t forget my shoes and just leave, I need to take them.

“I’ll put them on for you.”

The priest, blushing and carrying the shoes, knelt before me.

He held my foot and put the shoe on, which felt strange.

It felt like he viewed me more as a romantic interest than a deity.

While he showed signs of worship, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth seeing the priest simultaneously experiencing s*xual excitement.

It seemed to remind me once again that I was perfectly in the position of the novel’s female protagonist.

Ignoring the enraptured priest, I stated what I wanted.

“There’s a book here that I always come to check on. I’d like you to tell me where that book is.”

“Yes, yes yes. Yes!”

As if suddenly coming to his senses, the priest stood up abruptly but stepped on his clothes. I watched quietly as he stumbled and fell.

The priest, who managed to get up on his own, straightened his glasses and stood at attention in front of me.

“What would you like to see, oh deity?”

“What I’m asking about is a secret. Can you swear to keep it?”

“Yes, yes! Yes yes!”

The priest’s glasses slid down again as he nodded his head enthusiastically. He pushed them back up.

“Tell me which section contains books related to what I’m about to mention.”

“Yes, oh deity.”

“The Door of the World, the Last Door.”

And what else could there be?

Is it okay to mention methods of traveling to other dimensions?

“The book you’re looking for is this way.”

Making my brief contemplation pointless, the priest immediately guided me somewhere. We went up a level to the most secluded area.

Even with just a quick glance at the book titles, it seemed like everything I needed was there.

“Most people don’t even know these books exist, but as expected, you’re different, oh deity.”

“These books are important, so I should check if they’ve been well-maintained.”

“Yes, is there anything else I can help you with?”

I forced a smile towards the priest who seemed determined to be a nuisance.

“I noticed you were in the middle of something earlier. Please continue with that. I like those who diligently carry out their duties.”

“Understood.”

The priest nodded eagerly, and as soon as he was out of sight, I pulled out books and scrolls.

“The Door of the World, Door, Last Door…”

After passing over seven thick books and five scrolls, I found interesting information in a thin book.

Right, there’s no way I would have looked at thick books.

“How to turn back time…?”

Although it wasn’t related to what I needed right now, the title was too intriguing to ignore.

“The method of turning back time is one of the secret truths, along with dimensional travel.”

Oh, even the handwriting looks mystical.

I quickly read through the text.

What’s needed are ‘a wish, a promise with the god who created the world, and a key’.

The key was the same as what was needed to pass through the door for dimensional travel.

“‘However, be aware that in this case, the key used will be destroyed in that world.'”

When crossing through doors, my very existence becomes the key, and it doesn’t disappear.

But it says it disappears when turning back time, so if I use myself as the key, doesn’t that mean I’ll be destroyed?

Ugh, that’s scary.

It seems like there’s more content behind this, but feeling a chill down my spine, I quickly closed the book and placed it back where it originally was.

“Hmm…”

If I manage to return home successfully, it will be a simple matter of going back and asking my senior.

Most likely, the missing latter part of 『The Chronicles of Litrie Extri』was taken by my senior.

But why would he read the back of the printed copy I had, when he first got it, he didn’t know Hangul.

Even Yuno said it was unfamiliar writing at first.

In this world, there’s no one as academically smart as Yuno, so my senior definitely couldn’t have read the book.

What’s certain is that I won’t have any problems just crossing through the door.

Even if there are many things in this world that I don’t know, I’m certain that what I do know is the truth.

“Phew…”

I spent a long time searching through the materials for information about the door at the end of the world.

The light coming through the window indicated that quite some time had passed.

“Yikes.”

It would be troublesome if Vilau discovered that I wasn’t in my room.

I quickly went down to the first floor and tidied up my appearance before the priest could see me.

I need to look mysterious.

As if he had been eagerly waiting for me to come down, the priest’s face lit up as soon as he saw me and approached.

“Oh deity, is there anything else you need?”

“It’s time for me to return to the heavens.”

I raised my lips in a benevolent smile.

“I will come again tomorrow, so make sure to clean diligently.”

The priest, who was about to see me off, stood in place and nodded enthusiastically. While he was picking up his glasses that had fallen to the floor, I quickly left the library.
