"If you're here for books, please come in. If you're here for something else... please leave!"

Yu Nai's language always carried a touch of rudeness, which made Chiyori shudder.

She could vaguely sense that the blonde girl in front of her wasn't someone to be messed with.

Since there was no reason to waste any more time here, Chiyori decided to directly state her reason for coming.

"You know, I actually came here to find Juxi. If I don't see him, I'd rather..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Nai slammed the door shut.

Just the mention of Juxi's name, especially coming from that woman earlier, infuriated her.

This wasn't something that could be easily resolved. Chiyori could tell that this woman was cunning, and even if there were any major issues, she wouldn't see any difference between them and trivial matters.

However, Chiyori didn't say anything. She silently stood outside the door, prepared to wait indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Juxi was sitting in his room, lost in boredom.

And Chiyori stubbornly refused to leave the library entrance, constantly confronting Yu Nai outside.

"Please let me in, I have something very important to discuss with Juxi."

"No, unless I receive instructions from the administrator, I absolutely won't let you in!"

"Then just treat me as someone who came to read, can't you? Are you really going to turn away someone who came to read?"

"Of course not, but the library hasn't officially opened today, and besides, it's already late in the day. You should go back and wait for the opening announcement!"

"...Open the door already, I have permission from the administrator!"

"I don't care, if you can't provide any proof, I won't let you in."

"Fine!"

"What? You're giving up so easily?"

"No, I just wanted this administrator, who has been standing here for a long time, to hear and judge. Did you hear that?"

"... "

"Yu Nai, open the door now!"

After Yukari shouted angrily, Yu Nai reluctantly opened the door, allowing the two to enter.

"It would have been better if you did this earlier!"

Chiyori looked at Yu Nai disdainfully, her eyes full of the mocking of a winner.

Seeing her attitude, Yu Nai was already seething with anger, but she didn't dare to speak out with Yukari right there.

The two entered, one after the other, as if nothing important was going on.

Yukari, who entered first, was like this from the beginning, looking around in all directions.

"Is Juxi still asleep?"

"Yes, he came back and went to sleep immediately. He's been like this all day, probably not feeling well."

"Nonsense! With nanobots repairing his body day and night, there can't be any problems. It's impossible."

"Uh... then I don't know."

Yu Nai helplessly looked at Juxi's room. She really didn't know what was going on with him. He hadn't said a word since he came back.

In this situation, she felt that it would be better not to provoke Juxi.

So, Yu Nai had to say, "I think he just needs some time alone. I'm also not sure what's going on with him."

Upon hearing Yu Nai's last sentence, Yukari sighed, "Sigh, so all that you said before was just your speculation?"

"Well, kind of," Yu Nai whispered.

"Yes or no, make up your mind! What does 'kind of' mean?!" Yukari scolded sternly, leaving Yu Nai feeling weak in the legs.

"No, it was all just my guess," Yu Nai honestly replied.

"Then be quiet!" Yukari said helplessly, "I've gotten used to you guys lying quietly there, so spare me."

Yukari wasn't in a great mood. She looked like she had been working all day, but she didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps she was just used to it?

At the same time, she had a tired expression, making Yu Nai even more afraid to provoke her.

There was no way around it, she naturally had a face that made people afraid. This time, Yu Nai didn't dare to approach her.

But why did Yukari come to the library to look for Juxi at this time? Yu Nai didn't understand.

As she passed by Yu Nai, there was a strong fragrance emanating from her that instantly overwhelmed Yukari's nose.

"By the way!" Yukari fanned her hand, "Even if you like perfume or something, don't apply so much. This scent..."

"Yes." Yu Nai quickly took a step back and threw the perfume in his pocket into the trash can.

Seeing Yu Nai like this, Chiyori couldn't help but smirk.

As for Nen, she remained quiet the whole time, sitting cross-legged under a bookshelf behind Yu Nai, quietly as if she were asleep.

Her ears twitched from time to time, as if she had been eavesdropping on something all along.

"Nen, what are you eavesdropping on over there!"

"..."

"Pretending to sleep won't work, I know you..."

"..."

"Alright, my bad."

It wasn't until Yukari got closer that she realized Nen was really asleep.

Well, she looked like a child after all, and it was possible for her to be sleepy.

Yukari's hand, originally going to lean on Nen's shoulder, stopped midway and slowly retracted.

There hadn't been much movement from Juxi's side all along, to the extent that if it weren't for Yu Nai seeing Juxi come back with his own eyes, she wouldn't believe there was anyone in that room.

He wasn't sleeping or doing anything in the room.

The room was pitch black, with only occasional faint green light emitting from Juxi's tight suit.

He faced the ceiling, observing the patterns on the ceiling, and silently counting in his mind.

It wasn't because he had nothing to do, but he hoped to calm his mind.

Around Juxi, there were familiar yet unfamiliar figures everywhere, and in such a place, he had to be vigilant of the people around him at all times.

Especially that woman named Yukari, although he occasionally had memories of her, his consciousness was telling him that she was dangerous!

The more familiar someone is, the more dangerous they are. Juxi understood in his heart that if that woman was so deeply rooted in his memory, there must be a significant reason, perhaps something major had happened between the two of them.

As he thought and thought, sleepiness flooded his brain, cooling down his body, which had been in an excited state.

Just sleep... sleep...

Juxi told himself in his mind, "You're already tired and need a good night's sleep... sleep... sleep!"

Just as he was about to fall asleep, Chiyori walked in without any politeness, saying, "Wake up, I need you to hand over something. You should know what it is, right?"

"Mmm..." Juxi still had a drowsy look on his face. "I didn't take anything, did I?"

At the same time, Juxi tried to recall in his mind, but he had no idea what he had taken.

"Chiyori, be polite! Oh, Juxi, did you forget to put your notebook back?" Yukari said gently.

Speaking of the notebook, Juxi suddenly remembered, realizing that he had indeed forgotten to put it back.

He started searching all over his body for the notebook. When he couldn't find it, he searched everywhere in the bed. He searched every possible place meticulously and seriously.

However, the notebook seemed to have come alive, as it couldn't be found anywhere.

Next, even Yukari joined in the search for the notebook. Chiyori felt embarrassed seeing Yukari searching and decided to help as well.

Without much thought, she quickly searched inside the cabinet for any trace of the notebook, even though she didn't know what it looked like.

"Let me think..." Juxi racked his brains trying to remember where he last placed the notebook. "I remember falling asleep while holding the notebook, so it should be nearby, right?"

"Let's calm down first. I'll check outside..."

Just as Yukari was about to go out to look, Juxi stopped her and said, "I didn't put it outside, for sure."

"What should we do then?" Yukari could only feel anxious.

The notebook of library management was extremely important, and the memories inside were more precious than gold and diamonds!

But now, it seemed that Juxi had only lost the notebook within the confines of this room. It was not possible for it to be anywhere else.

The three of them searched again in the places they had already checked, and Yukari searched the places Chiyori had just searched.

She knew very well about Chiyori's earlier actions. She knew that Chiyori didn't understand anything and was just searching aimlessly.

At this moment, Yu Nai, who had been peeping outside, hesitated and stood up, saying, "I'm sorry. I saw Xi seemed to be asleep, so I took the notebook from him."

Upon learning that Yu Nai had taken the notebook, Juxi hurriedly asked, "Where is the notebook?"

"It's on the bookshelf. I put it back." Yu Nai pointed to the bookshelves.

After hearing this, Yukari rushed out and finally found the notebook in its original place.

Seeing the notebook, Yukari finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that the notebook here would go missing, so she checked it very carefully, afraid of overlooking anything.

After confirming that the notebook was safe, Yukari praised Yu Nai, saying, "You did a great job this time. We need to check the memory bank tonight, and no one should take any of the notebooks... especially Juxi, do you hear me?!"

"......"

After being fiercely stared at by Yukari, Juxi felt beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

"Y-yes, I understand."
