Finally the day Amelia had been waiting for had arrived when time could finally move forward for her. This time Gura, Kiara, Calli, and herself were standing in front of a large library building with the old Victorian architecture around the 18th century.

This place was quite famous because many visitors borrowed or just read books here. Although this place is rarely visited by young people to study because they prefer to go to cafes or something like that.

"So this is where she usually is?" Calli asked.

"Yes, in this timeline I heard she was a librarian here."

Amelia didn't bring Bubba this time because there was a ban in the library on bringing pets inside. "Well, before going in I'll explain the plan here."

The others put on serious faces when Amelia wanted to explain her plan. This was important because what they were about to face was a creature that was 180° different from the other members.

"First of all, you must--"

"Excuse me." But Amelia's words were interrupted by someone who wanted to enter the library. Because at the moment, the four of them were right in front of the door.

After the person entered, Amelia then resumed her speech. "You guys should--"

"Ah, sorry, sorry." A young couple in school uniform passed them again and went inside. Even though someone had just said that it was rare for young people to visit this library.

Amelia closed her eyes and a vein appeared on her forehead from holding back anger. "Watson, are you okay?" asked Calli seeing Amelia's expression.

"Yes ... but I'm sure if I want to explain it again, there will definitely be passers-by."

"How do you know that?"

"I just know. Come on, we have to find a place first before--"

"Sorry."

Again, someone interrupted Amelia's words. But just as Amelia wanted to get angry with her, her eyes widened when she saw the person who greeted her just now.

Black hair with orange gradations on both ends of the front hair, then two small round ears on top of her head, the description was exactly the same as what was in Amelia's file.

"Watson, isn't she ...."

But Amelia stopped Calli's speech with a 'stop' gesture with her hand. Although in the end, it was Gura who divulged that they already knew who this person in front of her was.

"Oh! You're the one in the photo on Amelia's paper!"

"?!!" The spontaneity of Gura was beyond Amelia's expectations which made it too late to stop her.

"Hmm? Paper? Are you guys investigating me or something?"

Amelia did not answer immediately. She looked down so that her face could be covered by the fiddler's hat she was wearing. And after calming herself down, she showed her usual smiling face again.

"Investigating? Of course not. I just wanted to interview you about some things."

"Interview me?"

"Yes, I'm curious about your work and this library. Is that okay, Ina?"

"Hmm ...."

Although Amelia's expression was as usual, not the others were aware of the power in this person in front of them.

"Very well. I accept your presence here. Please come inside because if you stay here, it will disturb the people who want to come in."

That person-- Ina then entered first, welcoming them into the library where she was currently in charge. When Ina went inside, the four of them were able to relieve the pressure of the power they had previously felt when they were near Ina.
