[k] @Andersen These Cursed Book monsters haven't had any problem defending themselves, but I've never seen one go out of their way to attack anyone. [k] @Andersen There's got to be some connection here. [k] @Andersen So we've got your letter.[sr]The Cursed Book. [k] @Andersen And...magical energy resources meant for producing chocolate. [k] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] @Murasaki Shikibu ...[sr]... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I...I am a Heroic Spirit whose focus has always been putting feelings into words. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_11 1.0] @Murasaki Shikibu Especially feelings of one person caring deeply for another. [k] [charaFace E 4] @Murasaki Shikibu So all the books I have created are sensitive to feelings as well... [k] @Murasaki Shikibu I'm not entirely sure, but I think that must be what caused this mess.

[k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_1 0.1] [charaFace G 0] @Andersen Master. What's the main thing you know about the Cursed Books? [k] ?1:They feed on nearby information. ?2:They feed on nearby magical energy. ?! @Andersen Right. They consume both nearby information,[sr]and nearby magical energy. [k] @Andersen But they don't do so indiscriminately.[sr]There's a condition that needs to be met first. [k] @Andersen To borrow Shikibu's words...the Cursed Books focus on information laden with emotion as well as magical energy. [k] @Andersen The former explains why one ate her letter,[sr]and the latter explains... [k] ?1:The Valentine's chocolate resources! ?! [charaFace G 1] @Andersen Exactly. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Andersen Of course, that doesn't help us track down where the original Cursed Book is now, but at least it all makes sense. [k] @Andersen These Cursed Books may be a pain in the ass, but they're not going around eating anything and everything. [k] @Andersen So we don't have to worry about one eating, say, a Magical Reactor, or a Holy Grail, or even a Heroic Spirit's Spirit Core. [k] @Andersen Hell, compared to the other shit we've been through,[sr]this is hardly a blip on the radar.
