The First World War of The Library
"Ayou is feeling a bit dead inside right now."
"His expression is just like the 'Comment Section' right now."
"There is no cognitive filter here."
"His panic level is gradually rising from confusion to despair, and then to helplessness."
"And finally, it's awe!!"
Hod watches Ayou, whose expression is gradually twisting.
"Mr. A, are you... are you in a state of panic right now?"
At this moment, Yesod, muscles bulging all over, looks at Ayou and says,
"Oh, that's easy to fix."
Then, appearing out of thin air, he manifests a Repentance and slams it down with force.
Ayou's head is buzzing, and he immediately snaps back to his senses.
Ayou is no longer in a state of panic; he has sobered up, but...
Perhaps due to physical reasons, he has a bit of a concussion.
"Uh... everyone, what was... what was that just now?"
While Ayou is still recovering, everyone takes the opportunity to remove the Core Page of the Stray Dogs.
Roland jokes,
"It's nothing. After the reception of the Stray Dogs, we just put on their Pages to play around. I've been a Fixer for so long and have never had a tattoo enhancement surgery before."
Ayou recalls what he just saw.
"Uh, the way you all looked just now... was a bit scary."
"Fine, fine. The cake is bought. Where is Angela?"
Then, Malkuth thinks and says,
"At this time, she should be over there reading."
Ayou remembers the hammer Yesod was holding earlier.
"By the way, what was that cross-like hammer from before?"
So Yesod manifests that Repentance again.
"This is a standard E.G.O."
Ayou looks at that... that huge... E.G.O. that Yesod just pulled out.
"Good stuff..."
Then, Ayou brings out the cake from behind him.
"OK, let's call everyone over for the one we bought earlier."
Then, for some reason, he thinks of Brother Li, and then looks at everyone's current outfits.
An idea automatically forms.
"Forget it, let's talk about it next time."
"Come on, let's call everyone out to eat cake."
After calling out the people from the Streetlight Office, as well as everyone else,
Ayou snaps his fingers, and many portions of cake appear. He distributes them to everyone one by one.
Then, Lulu looks at the large piece of cake in her hand.
Uncontrollable drool flows from the corner of her eye—no, wait—uncontrollable tears flow from the corner of her mouth.
"Ah, no, wait, damn it."
"Wow, so much! Does that mean I can eat as much as I want?"
Then, Ayou starts to think.
"That's not bad. Your current bodies shouldn't get fat or anything."
Ayou looks at the cake in his hand, lost in thought.
Then, Ayou carries a portion of cake to find Angela.
"Director, would you like some?"
Angela is reading 'The City Food Appreciation' at the moment. She looks up and sees Ayou approaching with that portion of cake.
"Have you forgotten that I cannot taste anything?"
"Oh, sorry. Then I'll eat it."
"Mm."
"So delicious! Oh my, I got cream in the very first bite!"
Angela's expression... is like an ellipsis.
Ayou holds the cake and says to Angela,
"Director, are you sure you don't want any?"
Angela sneers.
"Mm. Don't worry, you eat. Enjoy it."
"Eat it!!"
Then, Angela suddenly smashes that piece of cake onto Ayou's face.
"Ah, this..."
"Are you still going to eat?"
"No..."
"Not enough, is it? Ah, there's more, plenty more."
After a snap of her fingers, many cakes appear out of thin air behind Angela, floating in the sky, ready to strike.
Ayou looks at the cakes floating behind Angela like the King's Key.
He swallows nervously.
"Uh, uh, isn't that a bit too much?"
Angela sneers again.
"Hmph, it's fine. We have plenty of time. Eat. Eat well."
Then, a piece of cake flies toward Ayou. One after another, piece by piece.
Ayou can only keep dodging, because it seems like they aren't meant for him to eat, but rather to attack him.
You ask why he doesn't just flash away? Don't forget who Angela is here.
"Director, I was wrong!"
"Where were you wrong? You weren't wrong. Come on, eat. Don't run."
With a wave of her hand, a few more cakes fly over.
The two of them are currently in a game of 'you chase, I run, and I have no way to escape'.
Meanwhile, the few people eating cake quietly on the side watch the scene.
They eat their cake while watching the show, enjoying it immensely.
But Net, watching this scene right now...
"Hey! Yesod, let me use the Repentance in a bit. I'm going to hit myself with it later."
"Normal people simply cannot look directly at this scene."
Mars watches Angela throwing cakes wildly in the air.
"Can you play with cake like this?"
Lulu digs out another bite of small cake, eats it, and says to Mars,
"Mm, we don't understand their way of thinking. Let's just enjoy our own."
After the First World War of The Library, an unknown amount of time passes.
Ayou is currently 'manually' cleaning himself and the site of this great war.
Because he was required to leave no trace.
Who else could have demanded that? It must be our beautiful and kind-hearted Director Angela.
While cleaning the site, he looks at the few people chatting on the side, then looks at his own clothes that he just cleaned.
"Next time, I should go check on Lili."
Then Net finds Ayou.
"Where's the goods?"
"Right here."
"One hand for the book, one hand for the goods."
"Are you playing gangster trade with me?"
"Just kidding. Take it out, and let's call Roland and go."
Net then whispers into Ayou's ear,
"You have no idea. The three of them proposed some sort of 'Library Cleaning Plan'."
"It's my turn today, and tomorrow it'll be you!"
"What's wrong with that? Hey, don't say that, I actually have a great place to slack off."
Net then calls for Roland.
The three of them sneak away quietly.
"...These are... called Hannibal, Minotaur, Daniel Coffee, Bailandi, and also... Magical Girl."
"Net, have you heard of them? I heard from the boss that they are famous liquors."
