"Good afternoon" With the sound of the door chime, I enter the library and greet the lone female student manning the reception desk.
Noticing my presence, The female student then lowered the book she was reading before greeting me back.
"Afternoon, you're late than usual"
"I watched the mage club practice before heading here. Is it only you today Ris?"
"Yep, Sir Wier took an emergency leave"
The girl in front of me is Risrioette Nelgrad, a third-year student and currently the president of the literature club. She has slightly tanned skin, long blonde hair, and a pair of crisp yellow eyes.
Commonly referred to as the book fairy, she is often found here working in the library as an assistant librarian during after-school hours.
Given her intelligence and a stupidly high appetite for literature, one could say that she embodies what you'd envision a perfect role model student would look like.
Well, almost perfect... upon taking a short glance at the title of the book she was reading, all I can say is that her taste for novels is... to say the least... quite unique.
'True Love of Camaraderie on the Battlefield'... I think it's best to pretend that I didn't see that.
"Hmm?" Ris upon noticing me taking a short glance at the book she was reading, her face immediately turned red and snatched it away from my prying eyes.
"Did you see it?"
"See what?" I denyingly replied while looking away, praying that she'd fall for my feign of ignorance.
Now that I managed to take a good look around, I noticed that there's currently only me and Ris in the library which is quite rare as normally this library would be jam-packed with students who are trying to finish their after-school activities.
"The library is quite empty today"
"Well that's a given, there's a celebrity touring the campus at the moment"
"A celebrity?" Why haven't I heard of that?
Ris nodded as she handed me a folded flier from under the counter.
"Her name is Illianara Clainad, a pretty famous songstress from the north. I heard she's never been to the capital that's why she's currently touring around before her last performance here.
"Last performance?"
"Yep, for an unknown reason, she decided that it's time to retire"
"Oh"
Opening up the flier, it is an advertisement poster that features the woman in question. She had long ash-blonde hair, bright grayish eyes, and pale-colored lips. Her look was that of a young woman around my age but somewhat gave off an alluring aura of that of a mature person who could attract any man's heart at first sight.
"Well she's pretty, I can say that" Was my comment.
"Her performances were just as beautiful as her look, believe me, I've watched her before back when I was staying with my grandparents last summer"
"Well, I hope she enjoys her time around the capital then. —Anyway, it's not every day you can have the library all for yourself, best to enjoy it while it lasts"
"Heh~ I have to agree with that. Peace and quiet!" Ris then let out a yawn. "Wish every day would be like this"
Ending our short conversation, I then deposited my library card to Ris before handing her a list of book titles that I'm currently interested in reading today.
