The Librarian

Chapter 8: Answers

3rd POV

As Y/N worked in the library, putting away and organizing books, he couldn't help but feel unnerved and concerned. When he and Rita arrived at the library, he told her to have a look around while he went to work. Rita went to look around the library and began to chat with Istina, who was nearby. Y/N decided to use this chance to try and sneak away in an attempt to have Rita get lost in the library, leaving him to do his work without disturbance. He would finish his work, and then go find Rita. However, Rita was able to find him with no problem. Every time Y/N tried to get Rita lost within the gigantic library, Rita was always able to find him with no problem.

Safe to say, Y/N was scared of this woman.

Y/N: Hm...That's sorted out.

Rita: You've been working for quite a while now, yes? Let's take a break.

Knowing that he can't really argue about it without facing consequences, he just lets out a sigh.

Y/N: *sigh* Very well.

Rita: Wonderful. Let's go to the nearest table.

The two walk to a table, as Y/N takes a seat.

Rita: I will bring some snacks. I will be back shortly.

Rita leaves, and Y/N thinks about returning to work, but decides against it. Knowing the little bit about Rita, he decides that she probably would immediately know, find her way through the library, and drag his ass back to the table. And besides...

Y/N: I guess this IS for my health...

Y/N leans forward on the desk, arms under his head. He decides to close his eyes and try to sleep, not because he wants to sleep, but because he was hoping for some...certain voices to appear.

Y/N:...

...

You really think I'm gonna give you more lore reveals?

Y/N: Motherfucker...

Y/N lets out a groan.

Y/N: The ONE time I want those voices to appear, they disappear into thin air...I guess I should of expected this.

Y/N just lies there for a while, until he hears footsteps. He gets up to see Rita walking back with a plate of snacks in her hands.

Rita: Here are some snacks I made. Please enjoy and relax.

Rita places the plate on the desk. Y/N takes one of the snacks, and bites down on it.

Y/N: Hm...these are well-made. Can you tell me how you made these?

Rita: I'm glad you like them, but I'm afraid my secrets will have to stay as just my secrets~

Y/N rolls his eyes, as he just enjoys the snacks he was given.

Y/N: I must say...I'm rather surprised that you were able to find your way around the library with no issue. Anyone else would get lost immediately without my help.

Rita: Hehe, well, I wouldn't be a very good assistant if I couldn't find you, would I?

Y/N: Maybe not. It's just...odd that you had no issue with navigating this place.

Rita lets out a giggle, which further unnerves Y/N.

Y/N:...Are you just going to stand there?

Rita: My job is to assist you and make sure you don't overwork yourself, as well as to follow orders that you give me.

Y/N: Well then, if you will, have a seat with me. Let's have a chat.

Rita: As you wish.

Rita takes a seat in front of Y/N, and they begin to chat about their lives and themselves.
