<sub>[Getting used to this place isn't anything easy, especially not to Ruca. However after a few days, the boy decides to take a look around the city...

...mainly to look for the library.

But since walking without a clue where he should go doesn't seem like a good idea, Ruca thought it might be better to just ask.]</sub>

...Um, I hope I'm not bothering anyone, but... I'm looking for the library...

It depends on how you view it.

I don't think it'a a bad trait but I still wish that you could see Lady Mathias's ideals.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

Her ideals? Don't you mean hatred? I'm afraid I'll never be able to understand that.

Just us much as I don't understand how she can treat you and everyone else as tools.

[Action]

[ashihara]

I don't think she's treating us as tools. [A pause. She did have to wonder after what Mathias said to her moments before the battle]

She just has to do what has to be done.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he sighs. Chitose, you really can't see this?]}

Is that really what you think?

[Action]

[ashihara]

[She nods]

Sometimes, the ends justify the means.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he shakes his head.]}

What she is trying to do will neither justify nor solve anything.

[Action]

[ashihara]

It will solve the problem of finding a place for us. We won't have to suffer anymore.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

Nobody will suffer because they'll all be dead.

_{[he shakes his head.]}

I could never agree to something like this.

[Action]

[ashihara]

Then what other choice do we have? We can't go anywhere.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

I'm sure there is something we can do to change it. _[...] There has to be.

[Action]

[ashihara]

Ruca, I appreciate how optimistic you are but...I cannot believe in such a thing.

[She couldn't really even look at him at this point]

I cannot believe in such a hopeful world.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

But why not?

[Action]

[ashihara]

...There are some things that I rather not discuss.

I apologize, it's something that I want to keep to myself for now.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_[...]

...I see.

[Action]

[ashihara]

I'm sorry, Ruca, but one day I will tell you.

[Subject change!]

In the meantime, didn't you say you were looking for a library? Do you still need any help looking for it?

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[subject change is loved.]}

Someone's told me where to look for it...

[Action]

[ashihara]

Would you mind if I went with you to the library?

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

I-I won't mind at all!

[Action]

[ashihara]

[A small smile]

Then shall we go?

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he nods.]}

Yeah, let's go.

[Action]

[ashihara]

[We're off to see the library, the wonderful library of vatheon~

During their walk there, Chitose had to ask Ruca something]

Ruca, may I ask you something? What was the last thing you remember before you entered to this place?

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[he glances at her, then he answers.]}

I remember I was aboard the airship... We were going to the Tower of Dawn.

[Action]

[ashihara]

[Oh...

....]

I'm a little further ahead, I was right before you fought Lady Mathias.

[Action]

[demonicbookworm]

_{[ . . . ]}

I see...

[Action]

[ashihara]

[smile]

Are you worried, Ruca? Lady Mathias may appear in vatheon any day now. ...I don't want the both of you to get hurt.
