24. There's Something Wrong With This

...—Hiro Sato—...

The elevator door opened. We walked two steps forward, glancing at the left and right of the large room filled with shelves. This was the twelfth floor, and it was fortunate that Yuna had abandoned her intention to walk through the stairs.

“Like this is better, Yuna,” I said.

“I'm still upset with you, Hiro.” Yuna folded her hands in front of her chest, and continued to look at me with a frown.

“We can forget that, after all you still have to find the book, right?”

“Hmm ...” He frowned, his charm as if leaving him.

“Ma–sih angry huh?” muttered. “Then forgive me. Next time, maybe I'll teach it.”

No one spoke in a voice, Yuna immediately turned her eyes away, walking away from me.

I don't know why, but it felt like what the young men were talking about seemed like a reality. Do we look like a couple in a storm? ask me in my heart, while thinking about it half seriously.

⠀

“Wah, here it is!” Yuna beamed as she found the book, but not with me.

“Are you sure this is the book, Yuna?” From the corner of my eye, I stared at the cover of the book, standing neatly among the several thick books squeezing in.

Yuna slowly pulled the book, very carefully, as if afraid that a liquid would spill from it.

“Hiro, give me the way!” Yuna started walking, with her pair of widened hands. The book was now exactly in the middle of it, firmly flanked.

I widen my eyes. “Ah, Yuna?”

“Shut up, Hiro, you don't want to make me drop this book, do you?” As Yuna moved, her body trembled, was extremely strong, and grew more and more with time.

I answered him with a nod. For a moment, I couldn't understand her way of thinking. Why would Yuna carry him in such a way? ask batiku.

⠀

The reading table is quite wide. There are fourteen seat axles that jut into it, and divided equally over the left side and right side. However, the most important thing right now was regarding Yuna. It took him two minutes just to put down his book, and it was similar to a tactical unit given a short time to defuse the bomb.

“Yuna was very careful, yes,”.

“It won't take much energy, really, Hiro. So just relax.”

“Oh ...” Of course he dodged this time. However, for the first time, I saw Yuna sweating. It seems like the cooling machine he has on him needs to be questioned.

“Yes, so here it is, the book I'm looking for.” Yuna opened her hood, after making sure that not many people were on the floor of this library.

I focused my eyes. The title of the book is The Legend of the Wind-Controlling Girl with beads attached and filling the cover of her book. Not to forget also, right at the bottom, there are writings Written By Hanami and Stories of the Most Prestigious Children.

Wait a minute, there must be something wrong with this, I thought.

“You need not be confused so, Hiro.” Yuna looked at me, then giggled.

I was at a loss for words. It was like yawning when she put on her sweet smile. “Ah .. because, yes ... this, right ... story ....”

“The book I'm looking for is actually being borrowed by people, so yes, maybe .. I'll choose this instead while.” Yuna's fingers began to open the sheets, and the scent of a typical new book began to strongly smell.

“Where did you know that?”

“I asked one of the librarians in the lobby earlier. They've confirmed it through something I can't understand.” Yuna scratched her head, smiling faintly, like showing her blatant ignorance.

“You sure you want to read this one?” my many. “Can't we wait for that person to return it again, later?”

“You know the unique facts, Hiro?” When saying that, Yuna's gaze could not be separated from the book. However, as I know it at this time, he was very interested in reading it.

“What?”

“That book has been four years never returned.”

“Huh?”

Yuna flipped over the sheet again, this time she was more serious. “I question the strict rules that are usually done by the library for events like this.”

“He's alive, I can feel it.” This time Yuna glanced at me, her eyes glittering, like holding back emotions.

It seems like he really wanted the book, my inner speech reflex. “What's your strength, can do that?”

“No, it's just that it's not an ordinary book.” Yuna closed the book again. “Something I can't explain, but the writings that are in it, it's all written with air.”

“Huh?” So far, to me, Yuna's sentences have been getting more and more absurd.

“Do not think too much about it”—Yuna holds the book in her chest—“ayo we go home.”

“Huh, have you finished reading?” I ask, the article is very short—not even more than five minutes.

Yuna hung the hood back on her head, then smiled. “Already, really. This time I just want to read that part.”

Although the girl failed to get the book she wanted, but no disappointment flashed across her face.

...* * *...

⠀

Now, we're out of the automatic glass door. The healthy morning sun shone perfectly, and the shadows followed us from behind.

“I guess we'll be even longer in the library,”.

“Huh? You say something, Hiro?” Yuna turned her eyes to me. Before that, he focused on the phone in his hand.

“No, then what now we will really go home?”

Mr. Fujima's restaurant is on holiday today. So, I probably won't do anything if I go back now, and it's definitely going to be a boring time. Maybe, I'll call Keira again, if we have to go home now.

“But, what a pity, isn't it? How about we play arcade?” Yuna punched at the air, but as the air suddenly blew forcefully, her hand reflexively held the hood to keep it from escaping. “Yeah, this is thrilling,” he added.

“I don't really like things like that, anyway.”

“Eh!” Yuna immediately put her hand on my forehead, and the heat began to spread flat. “You sick?”

“Not so, Yuna.” My face is flushed. “Again ... Why are your hands there?” I want to pull it off, it's just that my hand feels paralyzed. This time, I couldn't hide my smile.

“I guess you— huft, thank goodness ...” Yuna sighed, and so did I.

⠀

“Is there something wrong with my answer?” We continued on our way, towards the arcade that Yuna wanted. He was extremely excited this time around, even greater than his main intention.

“Everyone likes to play with such things, “ Yuna said, shaking her head. “I don't know if there are humans who don't like it.”

“Then, you can consider me another creature.”

“Eh, what can?” Yuna glanced at me, and it seemed like she was taking it seriously.

“No, it can't,” I argue, while walking ahead of him.

“And when I was just joking, you were the one who took me seriously, Hiro.” Yuna returned to her position, being next to me, giggling.

“Hey, by the way, how old are you?” tanyakanya.

“Sixteen years.”

“Wah ...” Yuna was shocked after hearing that. “... We are both sixteen years old, you know.”

I stopped my steps, now I'm the one jolted by it. “That's right, Yuna?”

In fact, before I thought if he was older than me, maybe about a year or two.
