21 Low battery (1/2)

The gathering soon ended with Captain of the guards Ruk once again apologizing for his son's behaviour. He blamed it on the youthful impulses to stand out and that he inherited his genes...

Harrison could only gracefully accept it and nodded at Sheina, who translated and then Ruk.

As the guests left Sheina excused herself to Harrison for being tired. It was understandable considering the ordeal she went through and the long walk home. Shalmoon smiled at Harrison, and then said some things to Sheina before leaving. Harrison was not really tired from the day's ordeals since for him the day only began when he woke up from crossing over.

”Father told me you can use any facilities on the first floor as you please. He saw you looking at the books with passion. Even I was a little jealous of the look you gave them. Just return them when you are done. On the second floor, keep to your room and of course the bathroom. Hmm, what else. Ahhh. The toilet is at the end of the hallway. There are also toilets on the first floor. Good night.” Sheina quickly explained and left him at the library's entrance.

”Good night Sheina, sweet dreams.” he yelled after her as she already started walking on the stairs. She looked back and smiled.

Harrison could not believe how his luck had turned for the better just by saving this gorgeous girl.

Suddenly she ran back down the stairs towards him. Harrison thought she wants to kiss him good night but then she stretched her hand and gave him the other sphere.

”Keep this if you need to communicate with the servants,” she said before going back up the stairs.

”Ahhh. Ok. Thank you!” Harrison said with a tinge of disappointment in his voice.

'What the hell am I thinking?' He berated himself as he turned around trying to hide his shameful thoughts.

He went back inside the library and looked at the book spines, which had nothing written on them, so he had to pull them from the bookshelf and look at the covers.

As he was currently alone, he just stuck first four books he touched in his inventory without trying to figure out what they were about.

He took another one in his hands and sat on the sofa. He pretended to read it while he was looking at the other four in his inventory.

As he was pretending to read Sheina was nervously looking at the door in her nightgown. She had mixed emotions of fear and anticipation which after a while turned into disappointment.

She finally let go of the notion that Harrison will visit her tonight and got in her bed sighing. If Harrison knew what was going through her head, he would definitively brand her a pedo.

Actually Shaina didn't want to have intercourse, but she felt insecure while alone in her room and wanted some company and if she had to pay for it with a kiss or two she was more than willing if it was Harrison who would be the recipient.

After all, although she was well physically developed, her mental age was far from Harrison's.

As Harrison inspected the books all of them showed up as not useful to him at the moment.

The translated words were just random bits and pieces.

'I guess the children's books didn't have enough information for the system to learn enough from them to display serious books.'

He clicked on analyze anyway. There was nothing from the first book. The second one was the same.

With the third one he got lucky and the learn button showed up.

He checked the title since the system now updated it.

He pressed on the learn button and after a while he got the message he was waiting for.

There was nothing else as some for now useless knowledge appeared in his head. The fourth book was also a dud.

He put all books where he found them and then moved from that cursed section of the library to another one. He opened a few books and looked for the ones with illustrations.

He finally found one that looked like a bestiary. He took it into his inventory and clicked on analyze as he browsed for more in the same section. There was a book with a green spine with detailed drawings of plants and a blue book with drawings of human organs that looked like a medical atlas. He took another three just in case he could get anything out from that section and analyzed all of them.

He learned the bestiary first as soon as it became available.
