> "Thank you for your help." When the fairy allows us past, go ahead.
> The faerie curtsies and scampers off.
> You and Kogasa pass through the doors and into the library. It's
huge, how is there even room in the mansion for this? The ceiling stretches high above you, as do the many, many bookshelves. At the far end of the library, a huge clock rests on the wall. The lighting here is poor, save for the lanterns on the bookshelves and lanterns floating about in the air. Close to the entrance where you and Kogasa are standing is what looks like a makeshift study area, consisting of a desk loaded with all sorts of magical knick-knacks, and there are so many books that they have to be piled around the desk for there to be room. There's also a fireplace nearby, crackling merrily and trapped in with an iron gate, presumably to prevent anything from falling in. Near the desk is a tall, puffy arm chair with yet another book in it, but there's no one sitting there.
> Standing next to a book cart near the entrance is a girl with long red hair, wearing a clean uniform consisting of a black vest over a white shirt with a collar, a black skirt, black stockings, black shoes, and a black tie. She has a pair of leathery, batlike wings on her head. Is this a trend--
> Black and lacy.
> The girl lets her skirt fall back down. "Welcome to the Voile Library," she says with a completely serious expression on her face.
> You don't think you've ever seen Kogasa look this confused.
