An Extra's Rise in an Eroge

Chapter 6 Collecting Information I

As we stepped out of the dining room, Lily's soft voice broke the silence. "Where would you like to go now, young master?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.I thought for a moment. What should I do now? Well, I needed to know more about myself and the estate. The Ludwig family wasn't mentioned much in the game, so I didn't have much information to go on. The best place to learn about the history of the estate would be... the library.

I turned to Lily. "Is there a library in the mansion?" I asked, trying to sound casual.

"Of course there is! The Ludwigs have the finest collection of books on all subjects," Lily replied enthusiastically. "Are you going to learn magic spells or sword techniques, young master?"

"Ah... yes... yes," I said awkwardly, trying to keep up the act. I couldn't exactly tell her I was just trying to gather information on my own estate.

I stepped inside, my breath catching for a moment. The library was enormous. Rows upon rows of books stretched as far as the eye could see, neatly arranged on polished wooden shelves. The room was vast and quiet, with the scent of old paper lingering in the air.

How am I supposed to find what I'm looking for in this jungle of books? I thought. Asking Lily for help wasn't an option—she thought I was here to study magic.

I turned back to her. "How will I be able to find what I'm looking for? There are so many books here."

"You can always order me, young master," she said with a smirk.

"No... I need some alone time. You're too distracting," I said, glancing at her from bottom to top.

"Fu fu... young master, you are so naughty. I understand," she teased.

"You don't need to
