After school, I was stuck with a plan on how to build āfighting spiritā, and I went to the school library thinking that there might be some reference materials.
Although it is called a library, it is an independent building and is very large, so I think it canāt be called a library anymore.
The library of the Central Adventurerās School seems to be used by national researchers and aristocrats, and is probably the place where the most books are gathered in this country.
Itās such a superb library, but ā¦ there were no users at all.
I asked the librarian if it was closing time, but it seems that there are only a few users.
The library is just a name, and most of the users are national research institutes, and it seems that few students come.
I used to love books in my previous life, and even worked part-time at a second-hand bookstore when I was a student.
After I became a member of society, I couldnāt get enough time to read, and I could only read books during my commuting time ā¦
The library is quiet and Iām a little excited that I can read a book slowly after a long time.
I look at the bookshelves and pick up a biography of a past hero that suddenly caught my eye.
I thought that it would be helpful to know what kind of ability the strong man called a hero had and how he was fighting, so I went to the reading space with a book.
Moderate light was shining through the large windows in the reading space, and outside the windows I could see a beautifully maintained garden. The best reading environment.
And there was a predecessor who was reading with her beautiful light blue long hair on her desk with two heavy bulges on it.
āOh! Sirius-sama !?ā
āAria-san! When I thought it was unusual to have a user, it was Aria-san.ā
āYes! I like the library where you can read books quietly! Sirius-sama ā¦ is it a biography?ā
āYes. I thought it would be a good reference for training, so letās learn about the history of past heroes.ā
āHey ā¦ Sirius-sama ā¦ā
Itās a book I picked up properly, but Aria looks at me with her glittering eyes.
āWhat book is Aria reading?ā
āI ā¦ uh ā¦ that ā¦ā
When I glanced at the book Aria was reading, I saw poisonous drugs, explosives, and other noisy characters.
āAh! That, this is ā¦ā
āAria is also studying to become stronger! Itās a companion!ā
He smiles at Aria, who looks awkward.
No matter how many means of combat you have to become an adventurer, you donāt have to worry.
I think itās great that Iām actively studying that after school.
āAh! Friends ā¦ is it ā¦ā
For some reason, Aria blushes and cheers happily.
āOh, Iām sorry to disturb you. Can I read with you?ā
I sit next to Aria and start reading side by side.
I sometimes hear the sound of paper turning in a space surrounded by silence.
The sunlight that shines in moderately is very comfortable.
Ah, itās a happy time to read a book slowly.
I read it for a while, but suddenly I noticed that the sound of turning pages from the neighbor disappeared.
When I looked next to me, I met Aria-san.
āAh!
When Aria met my eyes, she hurriedly took her eyes off and started reading a book.
Aria seems to be reading a book desperately, even though he wonders if something happened, so he returns to reading without worrying about it.
āstareā¦ā¦
āā ā¦ā¦ stare
I felt something from the neighbor, and when I glanced at her, I met Aria again.
ā!? ah ā¦ā
Once again, she immediately turned her eyes.
ā? Whatās up?ā
āNo, nothing ā¦ā
āYour face is red, maybe your feeling ā¦ā
āNo, no! Itās okay! Iām fine!ā
āIs that so? Donāt overdo it.ā
āYes, thank youā¦ā¦ā
Aria started reading a book with her red face.
Well, I wish I had nothing ā¦ I wonder if Iāll read more.
ā
I was absorbed in reading, and when I realized it, the outside of the window was starting to darken.
The past heroes in this biography were pretty crazy, and the story was usually interesting.
It didnāt seem to be very useful for the idea of āfighting spiritā ā¦
When I closed the book and looked next to me, Aria was just closing the book and our eyes crossed.
āIām about to go home, but what about Aria?ā
āWow, Iām going home too!ā
āWell, letās go home together.ā
āYes !!ā
I returned the books to the original shelves, and the two of us left the library and walked toward the dormitory.
āBy the way, Aria-san, youāve been calling me formally since weāve first met. Even though youāre a classmate, itās embarrassing, so could you call me Sirius?ā
āEh !? Yeah !? Iām sorry Sirius ā¦ !!ā
Aria is so sorry that she laughs unintentionally.
But Iām a classmate, and I donāt like it because it seems to be a hierarchical relationship.
āOh ā¦ Aria wanted to keep that distance ā¦ Iām lonely, but it canāt be helped ā¦ā
āEh !? No, that !! Uh ā¦ Sirius ā¦ kun ā¦ā
āFufu, thank youā
As planned!
Aria stared at me with a happy and complicated expression that seemed a little embarrassing, and smiled.
