Chapter 15

"Dionysus, the God of wine and ecstasy aswell as the Judge for this floor"

Dion was stiff for a moment before he asked with trembling voice "W- What do you m- mean Ms. L? I- I don't know what you're talking about…"

Eleri ignored his stuttering and said to Kyle's ears "Go"

Kyle understood, nodded and left leaving only Eleri carrying Jacob and Dion who was backing away

[What?]

[What does Ms. Anchor mean by this?]

[Wasn't the Judge one of them?]

Eleri ignored the barrage and rolled her eyes as she said "Oh please stop acting, I already know 'everything'"

As she said this Dion stopped shaking, raised his head as his blue eyes was seen through his long bangs and asked in a low voice "Everything?"

Eleri told a straight lie without changing her face "Yes. Everything"

Dion was silent for a moment before he laughed and suddenly his body turned into white light as he grew taller and his clothes and appearance changed

He still has his black hair but now it was not curled and his bangs doesn't cover his eyes anymore revealing a beautiful dark blue sapphire irises with pale white skin. Wearing a black polo, pants, and boots he had a black cape and gloves

With this appearance he looked a little evil but it still did not vanish his beauty and handsomeness

Eleri was stunned for a moment and wanted to shrill that he was handsome but regained her composure as she said "So you finally revealed your true appearance"

Dion shrugged as he said "Well that was still my past appearance. Now tell me, what do you know?"

Eleri explained patiently "First I know that all of these are mere illusions-- no, to be more precise memories of your past"

She then looked at Jacob as she said in a low voice "And he…Jacob--"

"--Is the kid version of you"

As she said this Jacob smiled as he suddenly turned into white light, before he completely disappeared Eleri pressed her forehead on his as he disappeared into thin air

Dion was silent as he crossed his arms and said "Go on"

Eleri looked at her hand as she clenched it and said "Also, the reason why your domain is a Library is because you are the son of the library owner, everything here is connected to you including the books such as the [Story of Zeus] or [William Shakespeare]"

Dion asked "When did you found out about it?"

Eleri smiled as she said "The moment I read the book of Zeus I already became suspicious when your name Dion and the son of Zeus Dionysus sounded similar aswell as he was the only child of Zeus who's mother wasn't mentioned"

Dion: "Then what about William Shakespeare?"

Eleri touched her chin as she said "Strange enough the library has a whole bookshelf of William Shakespeare's books so I speculated that the owner might like his works, but then when I found Jacob and your sentence about liking his book I subconsciously thought that it might not be the owner who liked the books but his child which is you"

Dion raised an eyebrow as he asked "That's it? That's how you thought of it?"

Eleri smirked as she said "That's it"

Dion clapped his hands as he said "No wonder you are a such a great detective Ms. L"

Dion smiled as he said "But that's not the task for completing the game though is it?"

Eleri raised her index finger as she said "Hold on I'm not done yet"

Eleri: "As for the side task to find the truth of the story of the owner of the library, He and his family were killed in a fire"

Dion: "…Fire?"

Eleri nodded as she said "Back then I smelled a stench coming from Jacob as if it was burned then when I found a clue it burned itself into ashes making me think of fire, then I thought of the landlord so summing it up the owner of the library and his family were burned by the landlord, is it?"

Dion lowered his head as he sighed and said "Yes… it's true…but, why do you think the landlord did this?"

Eleri drooped her eyes as she said "Because your father hasn't paid the bills yet"

"...I see" Dion looked up at Eleri as he asked "Then for you, do you think this is injustice as a detective?"

Eleri's eyes turned dark as she said "Don't ask me such nonsense"

Dion was startled at her cold voice, he never heard or saw her like this

Eleri said solemnly "Do you think justice will solve everything?" She sneered as she continued "Do you know that humans are disgusting creatures for me?"

Recalling the past she said angrily "When no one came to rescue us, when people tried to kill us even if we were just kids, even when my friends died injustice the people would only say condolence and nothing more! So don't you dare ask me for opinion on justice and injustice, those are just bullshits!"

Shocked when she lost her demeanor Eleri tried to calm herself down as she took a deep breath

Seeing her like this Dion didn't know what to say anymore before laughed lowly and said "So you're just like me…"

Just as he was about to add something Eleri was the first to speak as she said "But you know what, I wish I was there for you at that time"

Dion was surprised and raised his head to stare at her with bewilderment in his expression

Eleri smiled weakly as she said "You know, even if I cannot change my own fate I would still like to change the others"

"For the outside world we are just villains, but weren't villains only labeled like that because someone set them up as that? Nobody was born as bad from the beginning"

Dion widened his eyes slightly before he curled his lips and said "I see"

"Then, as for my gratitude I won't kill you for now"

As he said these he turned around not caring if the other party attacks him and said "Let's meet again in the sixth day, I'm pretty sure you'd still be alive by then right?"

As he disappeared Eleri still stood in place as she looked down in her hand and smiled as she said "Yeah"

Walking aimlessly she raised her senses and suddenly smelled what she was looking for

Going to the corner she saw Kyle in his werewolf form killing all the hidden black hounds that were hiding from the light

Kyle seemed to sensed her and looked back as he looked at her, his blue eyes were slightly red from the bloodthirst which made him look scary

Eleri froze for a moment before she walked towards him, and then--

--Stroked his fur?

Kyle: "…"

Audience: "…"

[I don't know if I should laugh or cry]

[She's too bold]

[I wouldn't dare to go near him when he is in that state, no not even in his human state]

Eleri just smiled and said "Let's go, now that the nuisance are eliminated we can relax for the next few days before we fight Dion"

Kyle howled and changed back to his human form

Eleri backed away as she covered her nose and said "Can you wash? You reek the smell of blood"

Kyle smiled sarcastically as he crossed his arm and said "Where do you think I will find water in this place?"

Eleri pointed at the floating screen from who knows where on her upper left corner and said "In the system mall"

"Huh?!" Kyle laughed angrily as he said "Do you think I would spend my coins for just water?"

Eleri: "Yes. I mean you did spend it for an expensive food"

Kyle: "…" He couldn't refute what she said.

3 Days later

Eleri was sitting on a seat as she turned the page of the book

In the page she read "If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction"

Reading this she smirked as she said "What even is the difference between reality and fiction is now?"

As she closed the book she saw Kyle walking towards her as he had a serious expression and said "He's here"

Eleri nodded and stood up as she said "It's time"

As they walked to the center of the library they saw a young handsome man looking at the books as he had his hands on his back

Hearing them approaching he turned his head and smiled at them as he said "Ben alors madame et monsieur"

"Shall we dance?"
