As a result, he obtained the right to study alongside Maika in Itsutsu city, where a vast collection of unseen books awaits him. At his arrival, Ash is welcomed by the acting count Itsuki, as well as a girl disguised as the former’s younger brother, Arthur.

This is the second chapter of the story about a young boy who sets out to revolutionize the world in order to rebuild civilization and create his ideal life!
