The next order of business for the twins was the skill books.

“Hey, bro, what are these ‘books’ grandma mentions in her letter?” Saori inquired.

“They’re weird books that give you mysterious powers when you read them. They’re called ‘skill books,’” I explained.

“Wow, really? Did you read them, bro-bro?” Shiori asked.

“I did, yeah,” I said. “And they gave me this power.”

I took a 10,000 yen bill out of my wallet and used my Equivalent Exchange skill on it, instantly turning it into a silver coin. The twins gaped at me, their eyes wide as saucers.

“Bro, was that a magic trick you just did? That bill turned into a weird medal-looking thingy!” Saori exclaimed.

“It’s not a medal. It’s a silver coin. It’s one of the denominations they use in the other world,” I explained.

“That’s money from the other world?” Shiori said, considering the possibilities. “So if we read the same books, we’ll be able to use skills like that too?”

“Yup. All I did was follow the instructions in the letter,” I said simply. “I put on the ring, read the books, and all of a sudden, I was able to use these skills.”

“That’s insane!” Saori exclaimed in awe. “I wanna read those books too! Where are they? C’mon, bring ’em out!”

“All right, all right,” I said, laughing. “If I remember correctly, I put them somewhere around here...” I inspected one of the shelves near the altar. “Ah, here’s one!”

I retrieved the Equivalent Exchange skill book and handed it to Saori.

“Here you go,” I said. “That’s the book that gave me the skill I demonstrated just now.”

She started leafing through the book in silence. After a while, she looked up at me and said, “Bro...”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Don’t play dumb! Is this a prank? There’s nothing written in here!” she scowled.

“Wait, what? Seriously?” I said.

“Yeah! I mean, look here! And here! And here!” she said, flicking through the pages of the book and showing me that they were all blank. “There’s nothing in here!” she concluded before thrusting the book into my hands.

She was right. There wasn’t a single letter, rune, or anything else on any of the pages. It looked more like an empty notebook than a skill book.

“How is that possible?” I wondered aloud. “When I read it, the pages were littered with all these mysterious symbols...” I stood there frowning as I tried to wrap my head around what could’ve happened to the text, when all of a sudden, a voice piped up behind me.

“Maybe when someone reads the book for the first time, the contents of it disappears?” grandma suggested with an air of nonchalance, acting as if she hadn’t been the one who’d created the book in the first place.

“What?! And grandma didn’t leave books for me and Shiorin?” Saori scowled.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and puffed out her cheeks like a child throwing a tantrum. Shiori, on the other hand, had a serene smile on her face, like she always did. Though, is it
