Chapter 19: Academy Life Isn't Easy (3)
Unless one was exceptionally eager to learn, hardly anyone visited the library from the first day of the semester.
After all, its not even officially open yet.
I understood that regular students, apart from the library club, could use it only about a week after the semester began.
As I opened the door to the library, there was Estelle again.
.
She wasnt so much ignoring me as she was far enough from the entrance that she might not have noticed my arrival.
Creak Creak
Then, Estelle, wheeling her wheelchair towards a bookshelf, looked up.
The book she wanted seemed to be just out of her reach.
How can she get that?
Just as I wondered, Estelle pulled out a grabber from beneath her wheelchair and extended it toward the shelf.
Oh.
But unfortunately, even with the grabber, she couldnt quite reach the book.
Ugh..!Eugh!
Estelle tried stretching her arm further, twitching her body, but it was too much for her.
Feeling bad just watching her struggle, I walked over and took the book out for her.
Is this the one?
.
Taking the book, Estelle returned to her original spot without a word.
I pulled out a chair in front of Estelle and sat down, saying,
Ive applied for temporary membership in the library club. Oh, since youre the club president, you might already know?
.
What should I call you here? Just Estelle? President? Which do you prefer?
.
Okay, Ill call you President.
.
President? Are you going to keep ignoring me like this?
.
Continuing to respond with silence, I just stared at her.
Tap
After a while, Estelle frowned and glared at me.
Go away. I wont accept your membership.
Why? There should be a valid reason for rejecting membership.
Too noisy.
Got it. Ill be quiet from now on.
I mimed locking my lips and remained silent.
..
..
..
..
And the silent battle began anew.
Im pretty confident in silence, you know.
Even though I almost always lost to Evelyn, silence was the one area where I managed a winning rate of about 20%.
.Sigh. Why do you keep bothering me?
Eventually, Estelle sighed and broke the silence with her question.

I just want to be friends. Isnt that reason enough?
No. Im not interested. I prefer being alone.
Thats a lie.
Its not a lie.
Didnt I help you get that book?
.Tsk.
At a loss for words, Estelle clicked her tongue and shifted her gaze to the book.
Look, there are no other club members around, and its difficult for you to reach and organize the books by yourself. Ill help you.
Help me? How? By picking out a single book? Do you even know how to organize them? Where should a book with the classification number 7KGw6rWQ go?
.
I didnt know. How could I?
My relationship with books was limited to reading what was available, not seeking them out. The only books I actively searched for were erotic stories and doujinshi.
I thought so. You said a valid reason is needed for rejection, right? You cant join the library club if you dont know how to organize books.
But I do know how to organize them.
Thats brazen. Are you openly lying now?
I really know how.
Estelle snorted in derision at my lie.
Then organize all of those by tomorrow. Ill consider your membership.
Estelle pointed with her grabber to a massive pile of books.
All of that? It looks like a lot.
Why? Cant you do it? Id finish it in an hour, yet Im giving you a whole day. Then just give up.
Of course, Ill do it.
Really? Then I can leave it to you. Im going now. Its too noisy here because of someone; I cant focus on reading.
Creak Creak
I sighed deeply as I watched Estelle wheeling away.
Sigh.
A mountain of books, a veritable tomb of knowledge.
I couldnt believe Estelle could organize it in just an hour.
So many.
I should have visited the library more often.
My plan got a bit tangled
I had actually wanted to just show my face and order Yuris around while relaxing
But I cant give up now.
It was an opportunity to get closer to Estelle, my precious classmate.
I had no choice but to do as much as I could.
The next day, Estelle woke up much earlier than usual.
.
She was bothered by the fool who had applied for club membership without knowing anything.
Such an idiot.
The library at Sacred Academy was so large and complex that it was almost like a maze.
Estelle was the only member of the library club because the rules for organizing were so difficult that new members gave up and left.
Annoying.
Of course, Estelles sensitive nature also played a significant part in their departure.
Even I would take four hours.
The huge pile of books in the library was a mix of returned books from the vacation and new ones from the new semester.
Even Estelle, who mostly remembered the arrangement of books and could instantly plot the optimal path, would need to invest a considerable amount of time.
It was not a task a newbie who didnt even know the rules could do in a day.
Estelle had told Ian it would take only an hour, hoping he would quit the library club.
Just want to be friends. Isnt that reason enough?
At that moment, Ians words echoed in her head.
.Unnecessary meddling.
Throb
As Estelle muttered to herself, her heart ached as if telling her not to lie.
Its not a lie.
Swallowing words meant for no one in particular, Estelle boarded her personal carriage and headed to the academys library.
She had thought that the man, Ian, would give up halfway and leave, so she planned to organize the books since she was up early.
However
Classification number 6rCV6rCE, so its over there!
Contrary to her expectation that Ian would have left, he was still in the library.
What are you doing here?
President? Why did you come back? Did you forget something?
Ian appeared to have lost track of time, so engrossed was he in his task.
I didnt come back. Im just now arriving at school.
What? Is it that late already? I havent finished yet
As Ian noted, about a third of the books were still left to be organized.
In other words
A person who didnt know how to organize had managed to sort through two-thirds of the huge pile of books overnight.
Phew What should I do now
Ians forearms were marked with prominent veins, and his school shirt was drenched in sweat.
This alone showed how much he had struggled throughout the night.
Squeeze
Did you really organize them properly? If you just randomly placed them anywhere without knowing, it would be a nuisance.
Instead of words of appreciation, criticism came out.
But Ian replied without any sign of displeasure.
Of course. At first, I didnt know anything, so I just carried them around one by one. But as I organized, I started to understand the rules. Ah I shouldnt have said that.
You Are you an idiot?
It was absurd to hear him confess that he didnt know the organization method when that was a requirement to join.
Ah! Thats right, I didnt know initially. But now I do Is that good enough to be accepted as a member?
Impudent Organizing books is the very basic skill every library club member should know.
Click Click
As Estelle picked up a book with her grabber and placed it on the shelf, she spoke in a barely audible voice.
Still, I guess I can accept you as a temporary member.
Great! Im relieved! Then, President.
Ian, who was sitting at the desk, suddenly slumped forward.
Im sorry, but can I sleep for 30 minutes? Im suddenly so tired after relaxing It would be great if you could wake me up.
Ha.
Estelles lips faintly curved into a smile as she watched Ian asleep on the desk.
Thump
I was suddenly awakened by something tapping my head, and I opened my eyes.
Wake up How long are you going to sleep?
?
Why was Estelle in my house?
That thought almost surfaced when I remembered U had been organizing books all night.
Swoosh
As I sat up, the blanket slid off.
Did you cover me? Thanks.
.
Ignored.
Ah, just give it back then. It might smell like sweat. Ill wash it and return it.
.
Ignored again.
Looking around, I noticed the books I hadnt managed to tidy were now neatly arranged.
Wow as expected of the President. That was really fast.
.
Estelle, who had reacted this time, stared intently at me.
President why?
Nothing.
There seemed to be a slight dissatisfaction, but unfortunately, I didnt have enough time to ponder it in detail.
Only about 30 minutes left until the first lecture.
It seemed like enough time to take a shower.
Ah, President, Im going ahead. Im going to take a shower.
Do as you please.
Having received Estelles permission, I quickly moved through the hallway.
The Sacred Academy, established by the will of Goddess Elise, was equipped with the finest facilities.
That meant it was fully equipped with shower rooms and laundry facilities.
Swoosh
In the empty shower room, I took off my shirt and pants and turned on the water.

Aside from my need for a shower, another reason had brought me to the deserted shower room that morning.

If it's smaller than this, the baby starves...
Todays color is blue.
My task was to issue a forgotten command to Lady Yuris, whom I had neglected while I was preoccupied with organizing books all night.
(89.74): Take off your bra right now and send me a picture of your breasts.
.
Normally, Lady Yuris would respond within 10 seconds. However, for some reason, there was no reply, even after an extended wait.
Was she ignoring me simply because a day had passed?
Just as a minute was about to elapse, the belated comment appeared.
Sacred Power Container: Master... Is it now? Just a moment... give me some time...
(89.74): Don't make me repeat myself, bitch. Send me the masturbation material right now.
Sacred Power Container: Yes... Master... I'll send it...
Throb
Upon reading Lady Yuriss comment, my penis stirred beneath my underwear.
