Chapter 203 - (DO NOT UNLOCK. JUST AN ERROR) (2/2)
----
Chun ignored that the snobbish brunette was fallen behind her steps while she walked through the aisle.
The smell of the books were the best scent that the silver haired young man had ever smelled. The fresh opened books and the old musty books. 'This is paradise.'
'The Deception…The Art of Playing Safe… Tossed Coins….The Fool's Demise… Walking Through…'
”The Fool's Demise.” She stretched her hands to grab the book but there was a thief who was a second faster than her.
”Chi chi chi,” The 'thief' squeaked while its dark furs shook and it passed in front of the silver haired young man.
”What is that?”
”That's the bug!” Xuan blurted out and it was too late for him to backtrack in what he said.
”Bug?”
They were both chasing the pesky 'thief'. It was a rounded black fur from what could be shown in its bouncing shape, it kept moving and dodging Chun and what was making Chun angry was it would only bounced away when the silver haired young man was a hand-reach away from it.
The book was hanging in its mouth as it squeaked, provocatively.
”Chi chi chiii!”
She stopped while she calmed her breathes. Chun coincidentally saw that the brunette system was smiling while leaning on a bookshelf, looking at her making a show. He had a 'do you want my help?' expression plastered in his face while smirking there.
It couldn't be help that Xuan was enjoying her misfortune as she had just tricked him but it also couldn't be help that she doesn't need his help.
Ara had also taught her that, she only need to receive 'voluntary' help but not unintended ones.
She smiled at the nonchalant youth and turned to the 'thief'. Chun concentrated her wind charm around the space of the black furball and with a gesture of capturing it, she incapacitated the poor 'thief'.
The black furball was squriming in the hold of her wind charm while she took the book from its mouth.
”Chiii chiii chi!”
The silver haired young man sarcastically grinned at the squirming ball and busied herself with the book. The book was the right clue. When she opened it, there was a rainbow-color feather squeezes in its pages serving as a bookmark.
'Page 229… a pink scarf.”
That was written on the page that was highlighted by a pink marker. Chun put the rainbow feather bookmark in her spatial storage and looked at the time of her communicator.
1:33…
5:30 was the dawn time which meant that she had only four hours and three minutes until the closing time of the library.
Before that…
”This thing is a bug? What do you mean?”
She must clarify some things before she would proceed in this task. It would unfair that as a chosen performer in this world, she had no idea about this 'bug' matters.
Xuan just smiled and didn't want to say anything about it but Chun wasn't an easy person.
”Then I will give a bad review---”
”Alright, alright. I'll talk.” He sighed in defeat.
The silver haired young man held the black furball in her hands while it wanted to get away but unluckily, every strokes that Chun patted in its furs were threatening. 'Good boy, good boy.'
Like a good 'dog', it motionlessly behaved itself with a lifeless 'Chi.'
It sensed his life would immediately perish if he angered this human like his original 'master'.
”That creature suddenly appeared in the Circus administration after the start of the newbies' test. Third Seat was the one who captured it but it tricked Third Seat and entered this world while I was about to go back from my report.”
Chun continued to stroked the trembling black furball while she pondered and then she noticed the familiar golden eyes of the creature.
”What is its true form?” She inadvertently asked.
”A small bird with strange golden feathers.”
”Oh.”
Xuan sighed as if granted amnesty. He had never been in this kind of tight situation, knowing his superior-self, he had never suffered like this but of not for the importance of the review of his host, he would really want to teach this person a lesson.
The silver haired young man immediately turned to the snobbish system who she felt that was glaring at her but looking at it, Xuan maintained his nonchalant expression while he smiled in response.
Looking at the poor fella in her hold, ”Do you want this?”
Xuan uncaringly declined. Even knowing that this was a bug in this world, Xuan had no care of it. It wasn't one of his responsibilities of capturing it as he had already finished his task of informing the management about it earlier while Chun was busy chasing the bug.
”Then let's proceed.” Continue to look for the next object.
A pink scarf…
