Episode 71 Story

By solving the "Trial" related to the constellations, the third floor has transformed from a white space into a massive library filled with countless volumes of books. Upon touching one of the books in the collection, Subaru relives a memory that embodies a sense of "innocent cruelty."

Judging it too difficult to find specific information among the vast collection of books, the group decides to prioritize conquering the other floors. By pulling out a sword embedded in the chalk-white domain of the second floor, "Electra," the next "Trial" begins.
