"Oh, well, let's not delay any further. We should head out now," Janne said suddenly, though she felt a bit hasty in her eagerness.
"Oh, alright," Satoru agreed, curiosity tinged in his voice. He was eager to see what her home would look like, as it might very well become his new place of residence.
As they stood up from their seats and began to leave, Satoru noticed a few curious glances directed at him from the strangers nearby.
He was somewhat puzzled. Had their conversation been too loud?
The thought made him feel a bit self-conscious.
Although this place was named the Glorious Archive—a title suggesting grandeur—it was essentially a library. He felt that their earlier discussion might have disturbed others, at least in the context of his previous world.
As they stepped out of the Glorious Archive, they were greeted by a breathtaking view of the mountain bathed in the soft glow of twilight.
The sky, a deep indigo, was dotted with stars that shimmered like diamonds scattered across a velvet canvas.
The mountain itself, silhouetted against the darkening sky, was wrapped in a gentle, misty veil that caught the last rays of the setting sun, creating a serene gradient of purples and blues.
The distant peaks, outlined by the faint light, seemed to rise majestically, their edges softened by the encroaching darkness.
The air was crisp and cool, carrying with it the faintest scent of pine and earth.
The moon, a luminous crescent, hung low in the sky, casting a silvery sheen over the landscape.
As they gazed upon the scene, the tranquil beauty of the mountain, with its undulating slopes and shadowy crevices, felt like a timeless masterpiece—an inviting and serene panorama that promised new adventures just beyond its majestic silhouette.
"So, is this what you call Astralsya?" Satoru marveled, at a loss for words as he took in the breathtaking beauty of the landscape.
"Yes, it truly is beautiful, isn't it?" Janne remarked with a hint of amusement, noting Satoru's awestruck silence. She could understand his reaction, remembering her own initial awe when she first arrived in Astralsya.
Satoru soon regained his composure.
"Let's go, it's getting late."
"Yes, and tonight's breeze is quite lively," Janne replied.
Satoru glanced at her, and in that instant, the wind gently lifted her lustrous white hair, causing it to flutter like silk ribbons in the night.
The moonlight played upon her tresses, highlighting her serene and elegant face, creating an ethereal aura around her.
It was a moment of pure, unadulterated beauty, where time seemed to pause, and the world held its breath to witness the grace of this extraordinary girl.
"Did you know?" Satoru asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
"Hm? What is it?" Janne turned to him, puzzled by his abrupt question.
"Your long white hair is truly beautiful," Satoru remarked casually, as if he were commenting on the weather.
"Is... is it? Well... thank you," Janne replied, taken aback by the unexpected compliment. She could only smile awkwardly, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush. The simplicity and sincerity of his words left her momentarily speechless.
