“Follow me Birdy” Meiling motions for Utsuho to follow her as she walks in the gate and towards the mansion
“My name is Utsuho, not Birdy…” They walk until they get into the mansion. “It's… really red…” Utsuho looks around, she was never much a fan of red
“Hehe, yeah but you get used to it. For a while the mistress had a pink phase” Meiling says in a mirthful tone with a little giggle
They see a few fairy maids just goofing off as always.
Eventually they get to a dining hall, Meiling looks around kinda confused
“Normally it's just guests that get lost… aww man am i getting punished for sleeping in the job again?!” Meiling hangs her head low in sadness and disappointment
“Anyway, Patchouli will probably want to see you” Utsuho tilts her head curiously “Who's Patchouli? And why would she want to see me?”
“Patchouli is the librarian here, or the magician. She'll probably want to see you since you radiate a lot of energy”
“I… radiate a lot of energy?”
“Yup, tons of it. I'm surprised you can't feel it with the amount you're leaking out”
They keep walking… Lots of walking…
Until they reach huge door's
“Well we're here, I'll open it up then you'll be on your own”
“Wait, why? Why can't you come with me?”
“Because I'm the gate guard I gotta get back to the gate or Sakuya will get even madder than she probably already is” Meiling zooms away
Utsuho walks in and immediately gets lost in two minutes “Why are there this many books?! None of this is even in English…”

She tries to take a book but it's so thick and heavy she can't, she gives up on that before walking into a clearing with a desk and a comfy looking chair
“Is this where she'd be? I think her name was Patrick?” She looks around but.. just more books… more and more dusty books until a loud crash rings out with the sound of shattering glass
“What was that?” Utsuho tilts her head before shrugging, figuring it probably isn't her fault
She suddenly spins around and aims her third leg behind her as she hears footsteps “Stop! Who are you?”
It's a woman with Long red hair and red eyes, a black dress with white sleeves, she also has black bat wings on her back and head. She has a rather… womanly figure
“I'm Koakuma, the assistant librarian, now why are you here? More importantly, Can you stop aiming that thing at me?!” Koakuma says impatiently
Utsuho lowers her cannon and lets out a sheepish giggle “oh uh… sorry?”
Koakuma shakes her head “Anyway, that's not important. Have you seen a blonde girl in a witch outfit?”
“No I haven't… why?”
“Because she's a fucking thief. If you heard glass breaking and shouting it was probably her… that's also why Patchouli isn't here”
“Patchouli? Oh yeah! Meiling told me to talk to her” Koakuma raises an eyebrow at that
“Really? I guess you are radiating a good bit of energy… anyway just go over that way and tell me if you see the thief” Koakuma points in a random direction
Utsuho salutes, accidentally smacking herself with her third leg before running in… the wrong direction
Koakuma sighs and then shrugs figuring it probably won't matter…
— — — Time skip/Line break— — —
That's it, she's officially lost
“Why are there so many books? I don't even like books… actually I like picture books… especially the ones with cats!”
She talks to herself as she walks around, then she hears shouting and explosions
“There!” She immediately runs towards it… idiot…
She sees a blonde witch flying around on a broom like its a skateboard going way too fast, fighting a girl in comfy looking pajamas with five thick books floating in the air around her
“Hehe! C'mon can't ya aim better ze~” the witch says taunting as she flies circles around the purple mage
“Get out of my library you CRETIN!” the purple mage shouts as the books open up and shoot separate elements like water fire and stuff
They continue arguing as Utsuho runs around on the ground trying to get their attention…
“They're not listening… hehe I got an idea!” She grins mischievously as she aims her cannon in-between them and starts charging it
“BRACE FOR IMPACT!” she shouts as her third leg glows dangerously with golden radiation
“What the-!?” Both of the magicians say as a beam of nuclear power rips in-between them and slams into the ceiling, blasting a hole in the ceiling
“Uh oh…” Utsuho freezes as she realizes she put a little too much power into it…
The purple mage slowly turns towards her with silent fury, the blonde witch just laughs
The five books open up and exude magical power
“I'm sorry?” Utsuho says before getting blasted
