Yoro: "Woah..." He looks up in amazement at the big clock that jolted up like a big nail hammered to earth bellow.

Yoro is now standing in the city square, where the giant clock being built, and where the marketplace is located. This place is bustling with people like a mall in the earth. The difference is, the mall in the earth have a cool temperature because of AC, in here is hot like sh*t.

And Yoro, already predicted this would be happening, wearing a casual black shirt that matches his hair, and blue long pants that match his eyes. At least with this outfit, he won't faint because of how hot this place is. And there, with how pretty his face was, he definitely attracting attention from the surrounding people, who are just brave enough to take a glimpse before turning away after seeing the person beside him.

His head is bald, without a beard or anything. The hair that grows in his face is just his brow and eyelashes, making his head shining like a diamond in the sun with how bright it is. His muscle looks bulging without his armour. While he has stern eyes that giving 'mess with me, I break your neck' vibe

Chad: "young master, I apologize but can you have some dignity? you behaving exactly like country bumpkin right now" he said while he glares at whoever stare at them more than a second

Yoro: "ah shut up, Chad. We now sightseeing this beautiful place, not attending some important meeting. You can at least be at ease" he said while looking right and left to find an interesting store.

Chad: "but young master, you must be careful in the place like this! Or you will unconsciously being-"

Yoro: "look Chad! A library! Come on, let's go!" He said and running there like a child. Well, technically he is one though.

Chad, whose word just being cut off like that, have a visible vein that bulged in his forehead. His eyes twitch at this reckless young master of him while he can just follow him helplessly.

Entering the library, the smell of paper can be smelled in the air. This is a particular smell that can be found just in the place full of books like this one. Walking to the counter, Yoro greets the onee-san that in charge here.

Yoro: "good morning Miss, can I ask you with something?" He said politely to that lady in front of him. Just to ignored outright by her.

Chad: "pff haha- cough cough. You can read the rules of this library in there young master" Chad coughing to hide it quite quickly, but Yoro can still hear clearly that he was laughing at him.

Annoyed by these two people, Yoro just read the rules in this place quickly before going by himself.

Yoro: "you can do what you want, Chad. I will stay in here for a while" he said while waves his hand at him.

Chad, seeing his young master gone to dwell in books by himself, feels has nothing to do here. If someone wants to do something like kidnapping his young master, they can't do it in the place as quiet as this, or they will be caught in an instant.

So he would just looking around or will guard the entrance until his young master is done. But, when he wants to turn his body to the exit, someone called him.

???: "Well, hello there, handsome"

Turning his head back, he can see the girl in the counter has done reading her book and now looking at him. Smiling shyly, she winks her eye at him. He had a feeling who she is looking is him. He looks right and left just to see no one is around but him.

Chad: 'but... it can't be me right?' feeling so, he turned his body again to left before hearing the same voice.

???: "Wait!! Why are you so in a hurry. I just want to talk with you for a while..." that voice said nervously at him

Chad can't help but turn his body back again to stare at her. Feeling he has to ensure this, he pointed his fingers at his own face as a cue. And seeing that, she nodded at him while her head starting to turn pink with how embarrassed she is.

Chad, who just realize he is just being called handsome, and by a fine lady at that, feeling his body flying in the cloud nine. It is his first time someone tries to pick up on him while his head there, hairless and shining like a diamond. But, while that feeling rampaging inside his heart, as professional as he is, the exterior and his expression haven't changed that much. He slowly walks to her and sits in one of the chairs available.

Chad: "what's up, lady?" He said and giving his most handsome smile.

And while all this is happening, Yoro is still trying to find the book he was searching. He wants some book to increase his understanding of how this world, Eus, worked. So, the library is one of his best choices to do it.

Yoro: "hmm? Didn't I have pass this section?" Looking at his right and left, he sure the book stacked there is the same as shelf he just passed before."hmm... Whatever"

Walking straight, he finally arrived at a turn in the way to the left. And as he passed it, he just sees himself walking in the same place as before. Looking behind, he widens his eyes unintentionally.

Yoro: "it's... Gone...?" The turn in the lane he just passed is gone, in there, replaced the turn is a straight line with the same shelf in the right and left.

Yoro: "is this kind of loop magic?" He knows there is magic in this world, in Eus. But he can't believe he meets it in a coincidental situation, and on his first day in this world at that.

He tried to walk straight two or three more times just to see the same thing happened again and again. And when he walks to behind him, backwards or not, he will meet the turn in the lane to the right, and see himself appear in the same place as before.

Yoro: "this would just go on forever..." Sighing inwardly, he looks to his right and left to find an interesting book. "I have all the time in the world, why I did not read something while I am at it?"

Walking slowly, he tried to find something... different... from all the things appear in his vision. And believe it or not, he found it not a minute later.

Yoro: "huh? I am sure it isn't here before" held out his hand, Yoro grabs the black book that caught his interest in the shelf.

Yoro: "No title, just a plain black cover..." after looked at it's front, he opened the first pages. And in there, written nothing except the name which it seems, the one who write this book.

Yoro: "Shiro, the accomplice of black..." When he read that, the Japanese name written caught his interest a bit. "Is he an earthling like me?" Now he really interested in what written in this book

Flipping the pages to the next one, there is written.

"Congratulation to someone who finds this book. It seems my magic has felt something special inside your body. But don't fret, it is nothing bad for you.

This book just can be seen by who it chooses, and can be touched by who has the key.

Think carefully before you flip to the next page, for it you can't go back to where you are.

Some may found it a blessing, and some of the others think it kind of a curse. And what is it there? You have to find it yourself.

So if you come up in a desperate situation, this can be your last mean to find a way out, or your first way in the path of abyss.

If you trapped in the loop, bring this book with you, for it can be the mean for you to escape"

After reading it, he feels weird feeling crept in his back, making him involuntary touch his neck in nervous. Looking right and left, Yoro still sees no one around him. This whole occurrence makes him lose his appetite for reading. Now, all he wanted is just get out of here and find a gift for his parents and Cecilia.

Holding the black book, he walks to the place he came from just to realize the loop has ended. Walking quickly, he arrived at another junction in the lane. And as he wants to pass it, someone bumps into him.

???: "Ahh!"

The person who bumped into him fell, and a girl voice can be heard from that person. Looking down, Yoro finds a girl with age, less if not the same as him.

Holding out his hand, he said with apologetic voice. "I am sorry, are you okay?"

The girl who fell down raise her head up and see the person who bumps into her just now. As their eyes met, they both can't help but shout in their heart

'Beautiful!' 'pretty!'

???: "ah, no, I am alright," she said and reach out her hand to grab his own to support her body up

Yoro: "at another time, be careful when you're walking, alright?" He said with a smile and then left.

The girl stood there in a daze, even when he had gone from her vision. She laid her hand in her chest as she stares at where he had left.

???: "I wonder what is his identity..." She murmurs as she feels the beat of her heart which is quicker than it's normal. As she realizes she was dozing off, she then backs doing whatever she wants to do before.

Yoro, still holding books in his hands, walking back to where the counter is. Looking around, he discovered this library quite big in than the eyes meet. He walks quite a while before arrived at where the counter is.

As he got there, he sees Chad flirting with the lady who ignored him before. Even when he is already quite close to them, they still flirting with each other and wasn't minding the surrounding situation.

As reluctant as he was to break the pink atmosphere around them, he wants to quickly get out of here.

Yoro: "Cough cough" he feigned coughing as he folded his arms.

Chad, finally realizes his young master has done in here, said to the counter lady he needs to go. Seeing the disappointed expression on her face, he encourages her that he will come back later.

When he looks back at his young master, he asked with a confused face. "You don't wanna borrow anything?"

Hearing his question, Yoro point at the mysterious black book at his hands. "I want to borrow this thing"

But Chad there, looking at where he pointed at, doesn't see anything on his young master hands, so with a doubtful expression, he asks again "you...want to borrow your own hand?"

And so, Yoro realizes that others really can't see the book in his hand as the book said. He waves his hand and said "nevermind, let's get out of here"

And so, both of them exit the library
