"Whatever his initial reason might have been, this library, not this town or this world, has now become his home." He thanked the librarian first for the cake and nodded at him with a familiar understanding before looking at his twinkle. Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."There's no deep reason for what he does."
As someone who had gone through a similar stage in his life, he knew what [Stangnency] or a complete blockage felt like.
"You seem to have experienced something similar." The librarian agreed with his words as well.
"Not quite, actually." But Elio shook his head negatively at his comment.
He was a creator, while on the other hand, the librarian was a consumer.
Elio could tell that much from his observations until now.
This person… this attractive looking person who certainly had wisdom beyond anyone he had met in this world, someone who knew a lot, someone who understood a lot as well, and someone who had a great lot of strengths… instead of being someone who judges the creations and talents of others, he merely appreciated it like a spectator.
He understood it, but for whatever reason, he could not create something like they do.
"I'm not good at many things."
He could not understand math like she does, create artificial intelligence, modify technology, create new things from wires and small things and machines, stuff that look all the same to him.
He was not that good at sports even though it was one thing he admired greatly.
He might be a graduate, but when it comes to real academics, he was nowhere near her level.
And she was not the only one.
There were many in this world like her. Someone who could do many things that he wanted to be good at much better than he could.
But even though he could not do what they do, he loved to appreciate what they do.
"Perhaps one of the reasons I like this pretty human so much is because of my lack of abilities."
The loving look he had as he looked at her while saying that out of the blue almost made her blush, and she tried hiding this embarrassment by pretending to sip on her empty teacup.
"Is that so?" The librarian was smirking at her.
This side of this person… this utterly ruthless, destructive, catastrophic person was more than just unexpected to him.
He was more surprised right now than when he was almost killed by her sword.
He liked this unexpected talk, and he would have loved to continue it further. But…
"Looks like the time to conclude the event has arrived."
They had to finish things now.
He knew this one event had been much more eventful than any others they have had in these past few decades. And he was happy with that much alone.
"Thank you both for the amazing chat."
-Ooooooooooooong!
They had finished with their tea and snacks and it was time as well, so with the bitter look in his eyes, the librarian proceeded with the closing ceremony.
"You two were the only ones to escape the maze this time it seems."
In the maze, the ones who were done with their performances or with their trials were starting to vanish from their places.
The ones who were not finished with their trials were given the last five minutes before they would be transported outside.
In the plaza, as the sun went down and the dusk greeted Moongold, the townsfolk prepared for a unique phenomenon that would soon occur.
They had enjoyed the event this time as well, the festival would reach its peak at night, however, before they greet the night, they would witness something that not everyone gets to see.
"In that case, it seems like there will be two things I will be parting ways with." he smiled at both of them happily as he vanished alongside the table.
-Ooooooooooong.
The two of them were also transported to the ground floor of the library from the highest top. And, along with them, the rest of the players and natives who had taken part in the event were also popping up in this place.
There were a lot of people, the two of them were there first but it did not take even a minute for the ground floor to fill up with the participants and the rest of them started shifting to the upper floors.
On the highest floors- not the highest place where the three of them had been until a moment ago but the highest floors with books- the special guests like miss Aloha, town Mayor and the Viscount's people who had seen the entire event and especially the two of them were looking down at all the participants with a joyful expression.
The participants who were coming back to reality, out of the Mind Maze of the librarian that they had been in until now, showed various unique expressions.
Some were happy, some were sad, some were upset about their performance, some were angry while some were feeling unique expressions altogether.
For most of them, this was their first time experiencing an artificial space. They were technically present inside this library all this time, and at the same time, they were not here.
It was logically somewhat strange, but from the magical perspective and from the angle of the [Arcane theory], this entire phenomenon was quite explainable.
But knowing something like that without foundational knowledge will only mess things up.
{ "Looks like everyone had a great time." }
Many people had learned many things thanks to the trials, many people had also broken through the limitations or walls that were previously blocking them.
Many had not expected it, but they had gained more than just some physical rewards from this one experience.
{ "And the moment is approaching as well…" }
Their efforts and their performances… their talents, their wisdom, and their potential was going to be rewarded soon as well.
However, before that, they were going to greet a unique natural occurrence.
Something so rare and precious that only these lucky individuals present around the Moongold, and perhaps a few more regions of southwest would be able to experience it.
