I had devoured 32 books when I got a notification from the main body that we needed to get out of here and that Bombina’s target was in the village at the base of the pillar Witchaven is built on.

Change of plan, we’re leaving.

“Huh? Ok did you get what you needed?”

I just wanted information that might be important in the future but staying alive is more important.

I had returned to my 9t self to go in ‘Library mode’ to steal information, so I picked Bombina up with my tail and escaped from the building. Not only that, but I got some surprised faces from some Misha.

I would advise all of you to evacuate immediately if [Meteor] sounds familiar to you.

The Misha turned pale and started to evacuate. They were quite orderly which surprised me. I guess they had been taught well.

I left the academy and attacks were flying everywhere. Nilah was protecting my main body from attacks, while he was interrupting any attempt of the council to interrupt Bea’s [Meteor]. The cast went off. It would take a while before it would appear, but it was coming.

We’re speeding up.

I weaved between the buildings. Some Misha tried to attack me, but I stole their hats. Not every Misha had updated their hats to the latest paper I’d released.

The one you’re looking for is at a village at the base of this pillar. I just want to warn you she had set up there to prepare for her research partner. They tend to be quite inseparable. Regardless of the gender of the research partner, she won’t have much time for you, I’m sorry.

“That’s fine… just knowing she is fine is enough…”

I sensed deception. He was not fine. This might get awkward when we arrive. The edge of the city aproached and I jumped down the pillar.

Bombina started to panic and thrash. “Hey hey! What are you doing!”

Jumping down?

“I can see that but why!?”

We need to go down, right?

“But we will fall to our death! Wait, why are we falling so slowly?”

Dunno, we’re falling way faster than I’m used to.

“Huh? Is this related to you being a strange race?”

Yup.

I made a pile of snow and landed into it. Right, short objective description, please.

“Short purple hair, dark green hat, long leg…”

Found her!

I undid the illusions on Bomba and knocked on the door of a house where Bomba’s love interests lived.

The door opened. “Bomba! What are you doing here!?”

“I…I came to see you. Am I disturbing your research?”

“Oh no, come in! Who is your friend? Wait! Is that the Silver Menace!?”

Sup! Silver Menace here.

“I wasn’t aware that you were acquainted with a celebrity!” She beckoned us to come in.

“A celebrity?” Bomba looked at me and this situation made me uncomfortable.

“He was quite a troublesome presence, but he has been a great help to Witchaven!”

Well, that’s not important now because Witchaven is about to get hit by a [Meteor]. I hope we aren’t disturbing you and your research partner.

“Research partner? Oh, it’s because I live here now. Well, I was planning to leave for Berfhais in 2 weeks and ask him if he wanted to become my research partner, but it seems he has found me.”

I love how it doesn’t bother her that Witchaven is about to get hit by a [Meteor] I assume she had lived through my half year of terror, so this might not be new for her.

Oh, that is also an option.

“Berfhais? Dammit so Jimmy one upped me!”

Noo doofus, she means you!

“So do you want to be my research partner, Bomba?”

I took a step back and gave them some space.

“Oh… I do! But… I have something I need to do first.” He looked at me and back to Leanne. “Do you mind waiting for a bit?”

“Oh, the Silver Menace is helping you with your dream!? That’s wonderful! Sure, I can wait, just hop by if you ever need anything!”

Well, this doofus needs catalytic glue, at least that was the excuse he used for me to drag him here.

“Silly man, didn’t I teach you how to make it the last time we met?” She walked over to a shelf, picked up a jar and handed it over to Bomba.

“Thank you… I just wanted to see you again. I have revived my motivation to continue on! Thank you Agnis.” Bomba nodded at me.

“Thank you for bringing Bomba here.”

Hmm I wouldn’t thank me just yet because I am in the process of wiping Witchaven off the map.

I took a step backward to give them some privacy.
