Chapter 3

Y/N: I told you that I would bet my life to make my goal become real, even eating people's insides.

Koishi: What? Why would even eat someone's heart? Is it even necessary?

The man turned to face her.

Y/N: Don't have a choice if I want to stay alive.

He showed them the book that they both knew, his own book. He opened it to the very first page and showed them what was written on it. Nothing was changed from last time but it was also what he needed them to see.

Y/N: Starvation doesn't allow my body to recover on its own, as long as it is affecting my body, I have to go to extreme length to recover the energy I lose during fights.

Satori: But there's other ways than just devouring someone's heart.

Y/N: I would have taken the alternative if I could but I can't leave the library.

Koishi: You can't leave the library?

Y/N: It's a little complicated... Think of it as bubble in space-time, the library exists with its own rules and one of those rules is that a librarian can only be killed with wounds during combat, not starvation nor thirst.

Satori: So you are immortal in this place.

Y/N: As long as I don't inflict a deadly wound to myself, it is the case. However, my body is still lacking the substenance that a human would need.

He glanced down at the book once more and they both looked at the words written on the page.

Y/N: Now, what do you think would happen if I left the library, a place where one cannot die from hunger or thirst to a place where one can? The result is obvious, I would drop dead on the ground the moment I take a foot outside.

Satori: So you can't go look for food.

Y/N: Yep, going outside is just a quick way to end my life.

Satori: ...

She left in her own mind, thinking of an idea. Fortunately, it didn't take her long to figure out what to do and looked at her sister.

Satori: Koishi, could you please stay here?

Koishi: Why?

Satori: I have to go do something, I will come back soon.

Without letting her sister respond, she flew to the entrance and left through the door, exiting the mysterious library. The librarian sighed and looked at the one who remained with him.

Y/N: I don't know what your sister is trying to do but I'm letting you know that I'm still not trusting the both of you.

Koishi: I know, you told us that before.

She smiled with those words, not minding his distrust at all. Her smile forced the man to look away.

Y/N: What do you want?

Koishi: Your friends, do you know how to bring them back?

Y/N: Of course I do, the library told me.

He answered with certitude, showing her that he knew what he was doing. She tilted her head to the side in wonder and asked him how he planned to do such a thing.

Y/N: The book tells me to collect some ingredients for me to reach my goal.

Koishi: Like what?

Y/N: Can't tell you that.

It was an immediate response, showing her that he wasn't trusting her for even that. His hostile tone passed through her mind and was ignored, her mental system not working and not allowing her to understand that he was being hostile.
