Coming and going in a hurry, Adlina was like a rainstorm in the middle of summer, sweeping in a rumbling voice, but in a blink of an eye it disappeared and cleared, and it was only a few minutes before and after, and Adlina once again swept away with a gust of wind, leaving no time to react.

Hodden was not surprised, Adriana's personality was like this, even if it was only the second time they met, they could predict her behavior, but Brutus and Robben were a little caught off guard, and before they could even say hello, the girl had already left.

"Wake up. ”

Hoden called out, and Brutus came to his senses, his gaze reluctantly retracting from the vanishing direction of Adriana's back.

Then he turned to Holden and asked with some urgency, "...... you and Adlina?" The two of them had just mentioned Adrina's family—or friends, and the familiarity and kindness made Brutus think about it.

"Friends. Today is just the second time we meet. "The last time we saw each other was at the back-to-school prom, and I unexpectedly did her a little favor by coming to the prom with her sister, and in return, she introduced me to some books to satisfy my curiosity." ”

Holden could sense the lightness and excitement in Brutus's tone, so he explained it in great detail. did not explain the ins and outs of the whole thing, but also put the friendship between the two frankly on the table.

"That's all?" Brutus was still a little unsure, "I always felt that you had a very tacit understanding and a bad friendship. ”

Hoden nodded, smiling dumbly, "Yes, that's all. It's just that she, like me, is an informal personality, so you naturally don't get used to it. ”

"So, if I send her another date invitation, is it okay?" Brutus said frankly and honestly, without concealing his emotions.

Hodden also retracted his smile and said formally and seriously, "Yes, it doesn't matter, I don't mind at all." Blu, you don't have to ask my permission. ”

Holden is sincere, he really just treats Adlina as a friend, and Adlina should just treat him as a friend, which is mutual, which is why he can be so relaxed and prank and joke, not to mention, in terms of Holden's current situation, he does not think that developing a romantic relationship is the right choice.

Coming home, he still longed to go home.

There is also an unknown potential danger, like a ticking time bomb, and he can't predict when it will explode.

Originally, Robben was still looking at Horden with the rest of his eyes, faintly worried, but after hearing Horden's crisp words, he relaxed a little.

Looking at the eager Brutus and the thoughtful Robben, Hoden raised the paper bag of jerky in his hand again, "Do you want some?"

Robben rolled his eyes and ignored it.

Brutus didn't hear it at all, and pondered in his own thoughts—it seemed that there was something more appealing to Brutus than food.

Hodden didn't mind, chewing on the jerky, closing the pages, and taking a step in the direction of the library.

......

The library of the Sekpeth Academy is no less than the Iwabuchi Library, and even in the entire Lea Empire, the collection of books is only lower than the Imperial Royal Library in Tuno, which is the third, and because of the connection of the Sekpeth Academy, it has a collection of rare artifacts from ancient times.

The entire library includes a main library, four branch libraries belonging to four faculties, and a side library for miscellaneous books, covering an area that even exceeds the Iwabuchi Library. The books are all classified according to categories, years, subject matter, etc., which is convenient for students to find and read.

The shelves in the main building, which are 40 feet tall and taller than six adults, are cut into eight floors from top to bottom by spiraling staircases that are double tracked and students can move to their respective areas as they please, using small gondolas that can travel back and forth.

The overall design of the main hall combines the classical religious style, with the scenes of mythological genealogy painted with extremely detailed gold and silver pigments on the giant glass of various colors, the bronze statue of the ancient dragon Brapester flying high on the ceiling, symbolizing the supreme authority of the seven gods, and the twelve pure white silk flags hanging from the ground around it, symbolizing the order and love of the world as you walk.

The interior of the library is further divided into three small wooden buildings, all surrounded by bookshelves, and you can see different passages leading directly to the bookshelves, so that you can directly touch the books without the need for a cable car.

The first floor is where all students come in and out, the second floor is a place for self-study and on-site borrowing of books, and the third floor is mainly a place for discussion and exchange.

Of course, the most popular are the study clubs organized by students to exchange ideas and share each other's opinions.

In addition, there is a large balcony outside the door on the third floor, where students can breathe, try their hand at psionic energy, or have lunch.

At this time, Holden and his party appeared on the third floor, looking for a relatively remote corner, where they were seated, and a large pile of books and newspapers were scattered on the large desk.

Recently, after Hoden and Robben, Ray Peters and Brutus have joined them, and the time spent in the library has skyrocketed, so much so that this corner has gradually become a small base for the Kos community, and they can always be found here when there are no classes.

Today, however, is a little special.

Because a certain classmate who came in the spring was restless, he couldn't be quiet at all, and he was babbling to himself, completely unaware that the two friends had wandered into the world, and his words were like magic sounds, entering and exiting the left ear.

"Hoden, Hoden, tell me a little more about her. Did she show up at the ball? Why didn't I find out? What kind of dress was she wearing?"

"Hoven, did she mention Blanchesky to you? What other books? What authors did she like? What types of books?"

"Holden, what do you say, should I invite her to do? ”

Brutus's agitation and excitement were like those of a koi fish spitting bubbles near the surface of the water, the snapping bubbles were constantly scurrying and jumping, and the excitement was condensed and bubbling to a boiling point.

Robben shook his head lightly with a cold face, he couldn't believe that Brutus had turned into a nymphomaniac, which was even more terrifying than chatter!

On the contrary, Hoden, who is the "object of questioning", is more calm, Brutus seems to be quiet for less than five seconds, and a new question pops up every three or five times, and Horden always answers unhurriedly, and the lazy posture of not waking up has never been disturbed, and Robben's calm and relaxed appearance has also opened Robben's eyes.
