Chapter 45: Maggie
The interior of the library of the Central College is very bright and spacious.
Light streaming through the hanging windows illuminates most of the room.
The glow of the magic crystal lamp lights up places where daylight does not shine.
At night, when there is no natural light, the huge ring chandelier on the roof will come into play, illuminating the entire hall instead of the sun.
This lighting system ensures that the library of Central College is open 24 hours a day.
Unlike the deserted outside, the library is crowded.
Whether it's the people in the reading area who are hunched down on their desks and reading hard, or the people who are quietly exchanging their thoughts in the discussion area, or the people who are going through the borrowing procedures at the counter in the borrowing area, they all show Luna the style of Central College.
Not! It's much better than the town hall in Meadte!
After sighing, Luna remembered the purpose of her trip.
Finding someone in a huge library was not an easy task.
Initially, Luna thought so.
However, things often come unexpectedly.
Upon stepping into the hall, Luna spotted Maggie's first glance around.
As Ms. Betty said.
The chimney-like hat was so conspicuous.
Luna looks in the direction of the hat from a distance, and suddenly becomes interested in the hat's owner.
Not! Returning the hat is really unique! This senior sister I'm about to visit may be an interesting guy, right?!
......
The library of the Central College is one of the best in the entire kingdom of Krom, both in terms of hardware and software, both external and internal.
It has more than half of the various collections of the human kingdom, and shoulders the important task of inheriting the flame of human civilization.
What an honorable and great responsibility this is.
At least, Maggie thinks so.
Maggie used to be a student at Central College, and for various reasons, she is now an honorable librarian.
As a librarian, Maggie has two tasks every day.
First, when I go to work, I go through the book borrowing procedures for students at the counter.
The second is to put the books recovered on the counter back to the corresponding position of the bookshelf after the shift change.
For librarians, they have a third job, which is to participate in the maintenance and restoration of books when needed.
Of course, the maintenance and restoration of books is not a daily necessity, according to the actual situation, it is generally only once or twice a year.
It can be seen that this kind of work is simple and boring, but Maggie loves it.
In fact, what she likes is the simplicity of this job.
Going to work every day is to repeat some simple processes, someone comes to do things, and no one comes in a daze.
After work, you can also relax on the luxurious sofa in the lounge while enjoying free food while reading the huge number of books in the library.
It's a very pleasant day!
It will make her feel at peace inside.
Simple, calm, that's important!
I wish those days could last forever!
Maggie, who was in a daze, prayed.
Maggie's prayers were interrupted by a hearty call from the counter.
"Excuse me, excuse me, are you Maggie-senpai?"
......
Yes!
In the panic, Maggie, who was startled, leaned back and fell backwards with the chair.
Fortunately, Al was quick to jump over the half-human-high counter and use his body to push the back of the chair against him, which avoided an accident.
The rescued girl grabbed the brim of her hat with both hands, trying to adjust the center of gravity of her body, and finally managed to control the balance of her body.
This situation makes Luna can't help but complain.
Not! If it falls, the hat is primarily responsible!
However, with Al's help, Maggie's crisis is resolved.
Woohoo, it's dangerous!
Maggie sat down on all fours before she looked up at the student calling out to her at the counter.
A concerned Luna appears in front of Maggie.
"Hmm, Sister Administrator, are you alright?"
Due to her eagerness, Luna forgets to use honorifics when addressing her.
"Woohoo, I, I, I'm fine!"
Maggie, who had just almost made a fool of her, blushed as she grabbed the brim of her hat with both hands, trying to hide her shyness with her wide hat.
"It's okay, I'm fine......"
Well, this senior sister seems to be prone to shyness, which is too inconsistent with her appearance.
Looking at the senior sister in front of her, who was about to shrink into her hat, Luna couldn't help but complain again.
I didn't expect this exaggerated magic hat to have such a function!
Not to mention, it looks like a big conch at this point.
It's hard to imagine that a shy soul hides beneath a distinctive exterior.
Central College is such a wonderful place!
However, Luna didn't come to see Maggie-senpai perform transformation.
In order not to disturb the others, Luna gently patted the countertop and alerted the people inside.
"Sister, Administrator, are you Maggie-senpai?"
After repeated questioning, the "big conch" barely responded.
"Woohoo, I, I, I'm Maggie!"
Luna: "Maggie-senpai! My name is Luna, and I'm a freshman this year, and Mentor Betty asked me to learn from you! You see, it's the guru's badge! ”
Hearing Mentor Betty's name, Maggie poked her head out of her hat, and with a glance she confirmed the badge that Luna was holding.
Betty's recommendation is an important task that cannot be missed!
Maggie couldn't care less about being shy, she immediately stood up in her chair, the shyness in her eyes instantly faded, and she looked at Luna carefully with her almost golden pupils.
Maggie: Phew, new life? Doesn't look like you're mentally strong?
Maggie's gaze falls on Al, who has returned to Luna's side.
Maggie: This demon wolf is kind of interesting!
Looking at Luna and then at Al, Maggie looked back and forth a few times with a smile on her face.
After all, it's Betty's mentor, or she has vision!
......
Luna is furious at Maggie's gaze.
What's going on?
After confirming Luna's condition, Maggie asks her to wait in the back break room for a while.
The library's lounge is Maggie's home base, filled with refreshments and books, and the waiting time is not boring.
Soon after the shift change, Maggie appeared in the break room, which was a formal introduction to the schoolgirl.
"Maggie. Tvina. Doragogon, nice to meet you! ”
"Luna. Sisfield, take the liberty of bothering, I hope that Senior Maggie can take care of me in the future! ”
"I'm just asking Miss Luna to take care of me!"
"No, no, I'm ......"
The two kept saluting each other, and the scene was very interesting at one point.
Whew~!
In the end, it was the impatient Al who stopped the two from exchanging pleasantries.
Well, it seems like a bit embarrassing.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time noticed that the other party blushed a little.
