When everyone was looking for a cure to help Shanghai, they discovered that there was a place called Great Sage's Library. |
However, it seems that searching for a cure in the library itself was a trap, and Shanghai's seizures became even worse. Then Austerlitz appeared, who happened to be visiting alone. Thanks to her, everyone was able to get out of the pinch. |
With a reassuring ally, our group went deeper into the archives to help Shanghai-- |

"Bo-shi, rice is ready. It's chaofan today~♪" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"Yeah, thank you. But I'm in the middle of concoctions and can't leave it unattended, so just leave it there." |

"What are you talking about, that's why I'm here. Here, say aah-" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"Mmh, 'cuse me. Munch munch... yeah, it's delicious today." |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"Hmhmm, thank you very much. We have a lot of food." |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"Conductor and Shanghai, please help yourselves too!" |

"I intend to! I get to eat Tianjin's food in a place like this, how lucky~" |
Conductor |
Ah. I figured it was going to be a long journey and I was prepared to eat preserved food. I really appreciate it. |

"But I didn't expect to find a cave like this at the back of the library." |
The back of the Great Sage's Library is a long series of caves, and we are now in a room inside it. |
The room has a cooking stove as well as tools for mixing medicines, so Tianjin cooked rice for us while Beijing was making sweet medicines. |

"The Wise Sage Austerlitz's library is very impressive. I'm sure she built this room so that she could stay cooped up in her pursuit for knowledge." |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"It's like a secret base. I wish I could lock myself away in a place like this and read manhua all the time." |

"Then you can stay here forever." |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"Who are you!?" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"Some suspicious uncle just came in!" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) ??? |
"Oh, sorry. When I heard that a pretty girl wanted to shut herself up in a place like this, I couldn't help but want to live with her forever." |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"That's the worst thing you can utter when you first meet strangers. So, who are you, and where are you from?" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"I am Chococlay, and people call me the Great Sage Lord Chococlay." |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"The Great Sage......?" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"You say your name as if you are the owner of this library. But I'm sorry, we already met the Sage." |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"That's right. Claiming yourself a sage over Miss Austerlitz is kinda insolent." |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"Wait, don't be so defensive. I'm really called the Great Sage. If you're visiting this archive, you are in trouble, are you not? Let me help you." |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"Right - that girl there. You are in desperate need of chocolate, aren't you?" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"Amazing, how did you know!?" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"I am the Great Sage. I can tell that much at a glance." |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"........." |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"T-Then tell me how to cure my symptoms. I'll do anything for you!" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"Wha, anything!? Yahoo, that's the bes - cough, that's great. In that case, I'll tell you." |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"How to cure your symptoms, that will be..." |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"Will be?" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"To give me your handmade chocolates." |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"Got it, I can give you handmade chocolates!" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"......Huh?" |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"Didn't you hear me? Just give me your loving, non-strictly obligatory chocolates, and I'm ashamed to admit it if I may say so myself. Then you will be cured!" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"Uncle, are you a great sage or are you a fool?" |
![Story Tianjin.png](/images/e/e8/Story_Tianjin.png) Tianjin |
"Bo-shi, what do you think?" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"Somehow, on top of pretending to be a sage, the cure is also a farce. It would be unreasonable to ask us to trust you." |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"H-hold up a bit! I recognised the girl's symptoms. That's proof I am the Great Sage!" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"Of course the culprit who gave Shanghai these symptoms should know, no?" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"So this uncle's the culprit!?" |
![Story Beijing.png](/images/5/5f/Story_Beijing.png) Beijing |
"It's only a strong possibility, but we can't rule it out yet. At least we are sure that he is a suspicious and insolent person. Let's neutralise him for now." |
![Story Chococlay.png](/images/8/83/Story_Chococlay.png) Great Sage Chococlay |
"Wait, can't you listen to me some more!?" |
![Story Shanghai.png](/images/1/17/Story_Shanghai.png) Shanghai |
"No, we can't! Suspicious uncle, prepare yourself-!" |
