Griego Library

6:10 PM

Margarita Illiad my name and currently the librarian of only one library in this peaceful town.

It starts when I was adopted by the demon-beastman couple.

Several days walking after I left my horse to escape from the creepiest and scariest monster I ever saw— Giant Spider. I feel guilty for what I did to my lovely horse. Sorry, Centris...

How pathetic unlucky girl and thanks for someone who leads me the direction to this town. And then I lost my consciousness.

Uncle and Auntie take care of my body at that time, lying outside in front of the house.

They treated me like a member of the family and met their only one frail but beautiful daughter Hanaka. Perhaps the same age as me. My friend... no... my sister whom enjoyable to be with, even conversing a serious type girl like me.

We are compatible with some things too.

Strenuous when it comes to studies.

And I was appointed librarian to oversee it.

I couldn't accept it when I found out about Hanaka's illness. I did everything I could, finding a cure and studied curative spells but nothing changed in her weakened body.

Uncle says ... ever since she was born, she was always been hungry, unchanged in status, and in her Vampire secret, she lived up to 18 years miraculously due to her hunger and energy deficiency.

I couldn't even look at her. She lay in bed with only her eyes and mouth can move. Too weak if I could only give half of my life away. I am her sister! What can I do for her!?

At that moment, I looked at her wrists, no pulse, and said goodbye. I did everything I could, I failed to save my sister. And her parents can't accept such losing a daughter. Painful...

Half an hour passed. They continued to plead for Hanaka's cold corpse.

「 I checked, she had no pulse. It was half an hour when she was unconscious. 」

「 Aghh aghh aghh! 」

I don't want to cry ... I promise not to cry. Goodbye Hanaka. Let me ... I will fulfill your dream.

「 ... Is it time now to cremate her? 」

「 Just wait a little longer 」—Uncle

「 Argghh!! arghh!! arghh!! uhh uhh... 」—Auntie

「 Blood ... 」 -low voice

A few minutes ago, Uncle's behavior was natural, not just natural but they were energetic. She said that her head was hurting and she was very ill ... I didn't go back to that room and told Uncle that I didn't have a curative spell to cure a headache.

Until I saw Uncle hurt himself ...

「 Uncle, the red liquid in Small Vial? and you have a severe wound?! 」

「 Ah my blood ... nothing 」

「 Why blood of cup? what for? For Hanaka-chan??? 」

「 Yes Margarita-chan, for her. Just for her. 」

「 But seriously .. 」

「 If you become a parent someday, you'll understand... every parent, sacrificing for their child. Stay at the Library, Hanaka is waiting for me. I'll take a leave 」

「 O-okay Uncle ... 」

I haven't even treated Uncle since Auntie has curative spell. I'm here at the Library, sitting at the librarian desk and reading. I didn't go back to that room, it's been a few days since I had something with my friend.

⟨door opening⟩

Hanaka? Is she good now? When ... How did she get here as nothing happened? Because of her father's blood?

I have to study the vampire race, the question is, what if there's nothing one studies about it?

Guess if you knew medicine then, you were incredibly smart, and now she thought of blood. Drink or pour on the head? Is it the blood that cures and vivifies a vampire? I approach her and smell her silvery hair if it smells blood.

⟨sniffing⟩

Her fragrance ... I was surprised... I haven't seen her in a total transformation.

「 Haaa! 」

Simply answering myself ... as an adult.

「 Why are you screaming? naturally, I live here and behind you always as you read... 」

False wrong, not talking natural... Covering her face by the book? ... Dead wrong wrong wrong. I have to talk to her normally ... ordinarily.

「 I'm reading Margarita-san please be quiet. I wouldn't be bothered if you could. 」

「 Al-All right ... 」

Back to where I sitting. Normally, nothing suspicious. Am I doing something worthless?

I'll try her a few more. I want to lose 1% suspicion that she isn't Hanaka I know. Just a few trials. Her communication and actions are normal. But there really is ... I don't know. Well, maybe I can't believe the dead are alive. Am I right? All right.

「 I'll take a book first. Margarita-san 」

「 Oh right. Here 」

I want to be sure, 1%, 1% you aren't Hanaka. If you aren't, who would you be? I hope not. Hmm her head hurts again ... dead, Auntie will scold me again. She was relatively quiet and her elegant red eyes stared me. What's behind her smile? The saint I know o ...

「 I'm sorry my head hurts. Really, where are Father and Mother? ... Margarita-san? 」

「 Uncle Ascon has a meeting and Auntie is outside, eating with villagers or maybe with Uncle together ... reading while having a headache? You should be sleeping now, right? 」

That line is startling. If you can answer that or another question ... I'll lose my suspicion.

Hanaka I missed you.

「 You can take any time and any books you bring Hanaka. That booklet, read it again and check if someone has not returned the book. 」

I stopped for a few seconds ... the aura wrapped around her, I could feel the cold. She looks sharp, is she angry at me? If so, you're Hanaka.

「 I said it was just one book I could read. If I check from first to the last name ... Can you hear me? 」

Eh?

「 I said it was just one book I could read. If I check from first to the last name ... Have you heard what I said? unfortunately, my book and my education or I may not be depleted because of my poor condition. Why should the sick be left without doing anything? and your job as a librarian is to manage everything here... 」

Eh? Ah ...

Ehh ... wh-what "can you hear me"? sometimes she says that though but...

What do I say ... I was stunned by my foolishness and worthlessness. I'm going to apologize.

「 Sorry Hanaka, don't say this to Uncle I apologize. I hope you get better soon. 」

What the hell ...

「 Margarita-san? can you cure my headache ?. 」

「 Yes Hanaka, sorry but I have no such curative spell 」

「 Just in case you know something about headaches. Not your skills Margarita-san, but medicine or other means, perhaps? 」

「 Ah ... By the way, Mefenic Herb. We're at the foot of Wallop Mountain, halfway through but I won't let you go out, Uncle ... no. 」

「 I'll get Father and get permission ... goodbye 」

She wiggles a little ... she looks attractive, she smiles ... eh ehhh ???? !!! what the heck am I thinking of! fufu

⟨phagk! phagck! phagck!⟩

Ahk .. what is this table made for? ...

✦✧✦✧

Until then. This me right now at the library door, looking at Hanaka. What she's reading? Hope to read together with her beside... and...

Ehhhh ??? !! Wh-what happened to me ???

⟨phagck! phagck! phack!⟩

What kind of door is this? fufu hopefully finds a spell that can cure headaches. I'm sicking desperate searching that spell ...
