BABEL LIGHT NOVEL SC (2025)

One day, college student Shizuku Minase stumbles from modern day Japan into a fantasy world. While wandering through a backwater region of this world of sword and sorcery, she comes across an eccentric young man named Eric who studies a magic script. He agrees to help her return home on the condition that she teach him Japanese. With their bargain struck, the pair set off across the magical continent of Farsus in search of a way back to Earth. Thus begins the sequel to Unnamed Memory.??

Single-minded optimist Shizuka and quick-witted mage Eric must brave forbidden sorcery in Candela Castle and all manner of other dangers to reach their destination, the Magic Kingdom of Farsus. Hoping to find some hint as to how to return to Japan there, they manage to receive an audience with King Lars where, in a terrible twist, Shizuku is declared an unacceptable anomaly. Will she be able to convince Lars of her humanity? And why does Eric seem to know the inside of Farsus Castle so well?

After the King of Farsas reveals hidden truths about the continent, Shizuku and Erik find a clue that might help her return to Japan. The pair sets out to continue their journey, when a messenger suddenly arrives inviting Shizuku to the great nation of Kisk-a place long plagued by unpleasant rumors. There, as playmate for the notoriously cruel "Demon Princess" Ortia, she is given the important task of coming up with a method to treat the speech disorder illness sweeping the continent. Without her protector, Erik, Shizuku must search for a solution alone...but failure means a gruesome death!

Having overcome the strife in Kisk and returned to Farsas, Shizuku sets about a new job-making language learning resources for children. Meanwhile, Erik continues to try to help her find a way to get back home to Japan and stumbles across one of the interlopers' cursed tools, a book filled with hidden secrets of the world, in the most surprising of places. Yet this is only one of a pair, and elsewhere, the possessor of the other book, the evil mage Aviella, suddenly declares war on the entire continent! What fate lies in store for Shizuku at the end of her journey…?!
