77 A Typical Day 2 (1/2)

I was gathering a lot of attention as I miserably begged Luke to let me read my manga in peace for an hour.

”You know it's been two whole years since I was able to come to this place,” I continued sobbing as if Luke truly did something wrong to me.

Luke sighed as he heartlessly gave me two choices, ”We're either going to study here for the rest of the day as we have originally planned or we're going back to your house.”

When I didn't respond and started to cry harder, Luke dragged me mercilessly back to the entrance of the library.

If I was in the eyes of the public, Luke couldn't continue his intense study sessions for a long time as it wouldn't fit with the mannerisms within the third district. However, if we went back home, Luke had the freedom to basically do anything.

I stopped crying as I returned the book back to the librarian who seemed to pity me as Luke ignored her compassionate gazes towards me and like everyone else watching this scene.

”Let's head to the study area,” I miserably whispered to Luke.

I obediently followed Luke as the librarian guided us to the empty study area as she occasionally looked back to make sure I was fine.

Luke finally stopped when it was around lunch time as it would be weird for young children at our age to continuously study without a single break.

”We should go out for lunch,” Luke suggested as he pointed to a fancy hotel that was a ten minute walk from the library on his map.

However, when Luke wasn't looking this morning, I grabbed two sandwiches from the fridge and put it into Luke's bag so that we wouldn't have to eat inside another fancy restaurant.

”So we're having a break?” I carefully asked Luke.

Luke nodded as he opened his bag to pack the textbooks. However, before he could put the textbooks in, I grabbed the sandwiches out of his bag.

”You could go to the restaurant while I'll stay here and eat my lunch,” I immediately headed to the manga section again after greeting Luke farewell.

However Luke sighed as he grabbed two more sandwiches from the front section of his bag (which I didn't pack).

”Just a hour Rika,” Luke gave me his permission to read the towering collecting of manga and light novels on the numerous shelves.

It was really just an hour as Luke didn't give me a second more nor did he give me a second less from enjoying my life in manga and light novel paradise.

And until around dinner time, Luke didn't stop as many passersby looked at us curiously as we've been studying continuous for hours on our own.
