I want to know more about the worlds that everyone left behind.

Like what countries there are, what they look like, what's different from here. It's such a waste of opportunity not to learn about other worlds, you know? As long as I'm going to be stuck here, I'd like to stretch my imagination and learn something new.

I, for one, just came from Japan. Yokohama City, to be exact. I wouldn't be surprised if more of you are from Yokohama... Oh~ But imagine if we're all from alternate Yokohama Cities. That would be interesting as well.

Anyway~. Tell me about your homes, please. And where are my manners? My name is Lucy Montgomery. A pleasure.

That sounds amazing, but I think I may have heard you wrong. Did you say a library the size of an island? A small island, I assume?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Library Island is like, at least half the size of our campus, so it's pretty big.

I belong to a club that goes spelunking down there and everything!

[depthsofdespair]

Spelunking?! In a library?!

[You've caught her interest, Konoka! Already, Lucy's imagination is running wild.]

So... You mean the shelves are filled with so many books that you have to jump to the bottom?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh yeah, it's big.

There's like, even a wyvern down there that guards a sacred book.

And a golem that guards another. It's like a really cool dungeon from a video game when I think about it.

[depthsofdespair]

That sounds amazing.

What kind of information would be in a sacred book, do you think? [Or maybe it's like that book that Ango is fussing over in her world: One that can rewrite reality.]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

It could vary.

Sorry for the non-answer of sorts, but my grandfather hid a book down there once just so he could trick some of my then-classmates into studying. But it did work...

The wyvern guards a pretty strong magical tome, as far as I know, but magic isn't all that well known in my world like it is here.

[depthsofdespair]

So it's a guarded secret sort of thing? That's still neat!

And to think, there's a magic book at the bottom of a spelunking library and it's still a secret! That's impressive. Your grandfather and you both know, though?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Yep.

I used to not know, because my parents wanted to protect me from the dangers of magic, but that kinda backfired.

At least it hasn't been boring since!

[depthsofdespair]

What? Real life parents are so lame. I thought they were only they boring in stories.

At least you get to have fun now!

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Actually my dad is more of an idiot than lame.

He helped my teacher's father save the world once. Really good swordsmaster too! Just distracted by lots of dumb stuff.
