Chapter 1

Koishi: What is this?

She asked while showing the man the page. He took a peek and rolled his eyes, still holding into his sword in order to stay on his feet.

Y/N: Your present self, it represents who you are right now.

With that, he stepped away and began his walk in a certain direction. Seeing him trying to gain some distance from her, the youkai floated right behind him, trying to remain as quiet as possible.

Y/N: ...What a weirdo, what's with her smile anyway?

He mumbled to himself, not knowing that she was listening to his conversation aimed at nobody. Followed by the invisible presence of the youkai, the man returned to a desk where a single desk lamp, many empty syringes, bandages and bottles of painkillers were left there. The man sat down and held his head with his bandaged right hand, sighing.

Y/N: Please... at least 2 hours of sleep.

He whispered, closing his eyes before dozing off. Gone from this level of reality, Koishi stepped closer and looked around until her eyes landed on a book resting with the medical supplies. At first glance, one would assume that it was a regular book but it has the same aura as the tome containing everything about her life.

Koishi: Hm...

She sneaked beside him and pulled the treasure out of the minefield. Successfully retrieved, her smile grew wider before walking away, back to the entrance where she would be ready to leave in case something went wrong. Curious, she took a peek at the cover.

'The book of Y/N L/N, the last librarian and the last body in the library'

Koishi: Maybe I should give this to Satori, she might know something.

Who knows, maybe she knows about this library, it wouldn't surprise her. She knows many things that she doesn't, maybe she knows the man known as Y/N and the meaning of that library.

She stepped outside and the door silently closed behind her, abandoning the wounded human inside that place. Her smile gone, she opened the book to take a peek at what was written inside, passing time while returning to where she lives. She checked the first page, curious to know about his 'present self' like he said when she saw hers.

Koishi: So many things, yet so many bad ones, how is that fair?

She asked, closing the book for now. Indeed, she arrived in front of her home, the Underworld would be the name that many would know it for. Recovering her smile, entered and ran inside the large house, searching for her sister.

Koishi: Sister, I have a present for you!

She yelled with conviction once inside the room, making the girl with short purple hair look in her direction. The blue dress and the red eye connected to her turned as well, her eyes showing an interest, what could she be bringing this time? The girl named Satori Komeiji wondered.

Satori: What is it?

Koishi: This!

She handed her Y/N's book, curious to know her reaction. She carefully grabbed it and examined the cover.

Satori: Where did you get it?

Koishi: A library, why?

Satori: ...Koishi, you aren't going to start behaving like that intolerable witch, please avoid stealing from the Scarlet mansion.

Koishi: I didn't steal it, he said that it was my prize for winning.

She said that while taking out her own book, showing her sister what was written on it. Satori slowly took a glance between the book in her hands and the one she was carrying.

Satori: Who gave you those books?

Koishi: Y/N, a human guarding the library, he said that I could take my book for defeating him.

Satori: Koishi, I hope you went easy on him, even though I would have liked if you didn't attack him at all.

Koishi: He attacked me first. He quickly gave up after falling down to the ground from the second floor.

Satori: And you left him there?!

It was the first time in a while that Satori raised her voice, shocked to hear that her own sister left a human on his own with possible bruises.

Koishi: He said to leave.

Satori: *Sigh* Where was he?

Koishi: Near the entrance to the Underworld, said something about me trying to kill him like the others.

Satori: A human this close to Hell? This is dangerous.

She stood up, still holding onto the book.

Satori: Please show me where he was.

Koishi: Huh? Why?

Satori: Please.

Koishi: Fine, be quick! Otherwise, I won't wait for you~!

She dashed outside, flying in the direction of the mysterious library, followed by the one who can read minds.
