Yeah, and it's even bigger than it looks, because of
L-Space. Kokoru invites Yuushi to work with her at the Royal Library, a
job that's popular with Princess Academy students. "KAWAII!" Mainly it's popular because of
the outfits. :P (Of course, Kokoru _already_ wore glasses like that...but I'm
not sure why Yuushi and Grenda have to also wear them--they're not nearsighted!
:P) "Go home and let me take care of it, little girls."
smirks Grenda. I'm still trying to decide if the glasses make her look more
"intellectual" or just more "evil". Combination of both... And speaking of being creepy-looking... Gah! What IS
that? Why, it's the lady who runs this library. Let me tell you, _I_ would
sure never turn in a book even ONE day late, with her in charge! Gulp. Might want to get a river for this... You want us
to clean all THAT?! Aiyaa! "Basement" my butt, this place looks more like a
_dungeon_... Pesky thieves. Rosa casts a spell to seal up a
window that was broken. Hmph! Grenda _tries_ to just sulk in a corner and refuse
to join in with "commoner's work"... "Damn it! Where do I start?" ...but eventually
boredom gets the best of her and she ends up helping out anyway. ;) Careful, Yuushi! _Magic_ books, eh? Magic books
are NOT to be trifled with....(ominous voice) They just might read _you_... Ah, look who's back. And with his trademark tact
and sensitivity still intact, too. :P What did that pillow ever do to you?! Back home after
her day's work, Yuushi, try as she might, can't stop thinking of Arc--whether
she _wants_ to or not. "In second place--Yuushi's meat and veggie sandwiches,
with 203 points." :P No, seriously, here Yuushi is fixing Arc up a picnic
basket...she feels sorry for him, being trapped in the basement all night
without any food. Grrr! Grenda and Chow instantly get into a
fight, of course... My... An awfully..._cuddly_ looking picture,
isn't it? Until you realise that Yuushi thought he was _asleep_, and, totally
horrified, LEAPS off of him one second later. :P Lurking in the shadows... A nice "artsy" shot of
Arc, looking mysterious and more than a bit untrustworthy (as always). Here, take it! Angry, Yuushi hands the picnic basket
to him, just before he was about to leave. Well, THAT'S gratitude for ya! And the trademark tact
and sensitivity is..._still_ healthy as ever. :P Guess who else is here? And also guess who
got the full-shot "high level" librarian job (as opposed to cleaning out the
basement) on her very FIRST day? Naturally. (But then again, Erumina is so
very precise and logical and intellectual...she reminds me of a Vulcan, or
possibly even a Borg (like Seven of Nine). She'd HAVE to get the more
intellectual job. I mean, duh.) Blink. Kokoru and Grenda adjust their little glasses
in unison. Heh heh heh... Is this a _typical_ expression for him,
or WHAT? I mean, bear in mind this _is_ the guy who hit on a NUN last time we
saw him... Gulp. We've got to stop meeting like this... Researching. Together, Yuushi and Arc look for
information on the Eternal Tiara. All Arc will tell her for now is that the
Tiara used to be broken into five pieces...and he's trying to find the man who
got it back together, because he (the guy) is "precious" to Arc...somehow. War Maid! Rosa casts a heavy-duty spell in an
attempt to keep Arc from escaping the library. "Erk!" Yuushi, attempting to sneak Arc out inside a
covered library cart, JERKS to a halt in a completely natural and unsuspicious,
really, we mean it, manner when she hears the voice of Kokoru behind her. ;)
"Something's up, isn't it?" Grenda isn't fooled
either. "Er...hi?" And Erumina just flat out TAKES the cover off
and sees Arc, rather than guess and hint and wink. :P (Another reason she
reminds me of Seven...she's the Just Plain Do It type. Bang. No hemming or
hawing or thinking or wondering, just bang. Done.) "I cannot allow you to leave!" Rosa blocks Arc's
way. I think they're angry. This library is getting
weirder and weirder every minute... KAZE NO KIZU!! I didn't know Arc could use the
Wind Scar... ;) No, seriously, here he's doing..._some_ kind of magic spell
with his sword. What I don't know, but it made all the flying books fall and
the moving suits of armour stop moving. But the _way_ he slammed the sword
into the _ground_, straight out in front of him, so reminded me of the move
that Inuyasha does with the Tetsusaiga for the "Wind Scar" attack, I just
couldn't resist the comparison. Interesting... When Arc escapes, Rosa is _impressed_
rather than angry...just _what_ does she know about him, that we don't...? WHOAH! A kiss! A real kiss! On the mouth, not on the
forehead. Eek! Why...you...! Afterwards, Yuushi handles the
situation with her usual aplomb. "Wow....!!!" Meanwhile, Yuushi's watching
friends can only gasp in amazement.
