Chapter 9

???: Come on Y/N, let's play!

Y/N: I can't, I have to keep watching the door.

???: But you always do that and the others are busy with each other!

Y/N: ...

???: Pleeeease.

Y/N: I... can't, I'm sorry.

Y/N: You will finally have someone to play with.

Koishi: Hm? Are you talking to me?

Y/N: Not really.

He could see his vision becoming blurry and wiped his eyes as a result. Feeling the liquid through the gloves, he blinked a few times to make the rest disappear. The walk was long but it was not boring.

Koishi: There's not many people today.

Y/N: Is there a special event?

Koishi: I don't know, they never invite me anyway.

Y/N: Why not?

Koishi: They forget.

Y/N: Then you should assert yourself more, it's not by playing the invisible card that people will know your existence.

Koishi: I will!

He could tell that she wasn't going to do that but he stopped himself from saying it, there was no point bringing that up right now. She would soon realize by herself so he wasn't afraid.

Y/N: Speaking of other people, your sister must be worried about you, you should give her a visit.

Koishi: Oh right but what about you?

Y/N: I'll be fine, I survived quite a lot of rough battles myself so I won't die that easily. Plus, that blessing will surely increase my performances.

Koishi: Then I'll be back as soon as possible.

Y/N: I'll be waiting.

They both slowly began their descent into the earth, taking the long path instead of the hole leading straight down. The air was much different than the surface but both of them were used to it at this point. That walk soon ended in front of the door, no apparent damage to it.

Y/N: That's where we part ways.

Koishi: Good luck!

Y/N: Good luck? We're not even done grabbing the materials.

A bead of sweat fell down from his face while speaking. She didn't answer back and flew deeper into the caverns. Left on his own, he pushed the door and it easily opened to welcome him back inside his cell.

Y/N: Hey guys... I'm back.

He greeted the deceased ones with a feeble tone, his left hand in the air to salute them. He was one step closer to his goal but it still felt painful to face the reality surrounding him. Knowing the way to his desk, he dragged himself there and dropped the medecine given to him by lady Eirin.

Y/N: A shame there's no phone here, I wouldn't mind giving mine to her.

Sighing at his lack of fortune, he could feel glares piercing him from all sides, jealousy over anything else.

Y/N: Sorry, sorry! I know that we said to not get involved with outsiders!

On the brink of insanity, he tried to calm the demons staring at him from their graves. It seemed to work and the glares turned into sad and cheerful gazes. The change of mood made the last librarian chuckle and join those laughing in his imagination.
