Explain

The next morning, Hana, I, and Yaeko visited the library, which was rarely visited by anyone; they separated the room from the emperor's residence in the rearmost outbuilding.

If you notice, the padlock that locked the place had rusted so that people couldn't open it through the key; Hana swung her sword so we could finally enter it after cutting it into two pieces.

It covered everything in the dust; Yaeko said it had been decades since anyone had entered this place again; really, is this place sacred or something? To me, everything looks normal. They neatly displayed a few books and each row of shelves needed to be filled up.

These were probably just books that had no meaning or were going to be tried to be thrown away. Hana and I tried to find a book to know the history of this world, and while we were both struggling, Yaeko found it first.
