The library was no doubt a special place for Hozuki. He was a shameless bookworm since young age and not only his visits to Hell’s library were frequent, but his own room was a small book depository where he could spend hours occupying his mind in an activity of low stress and high value.
Hive City’s library couldn’t even be compared to his homeland’s, but was also a pleasant place and one of the first he visited in his early days of captivity, where he met the man that became his best friend, Daylen. Due all this, would be extremely difficult to find him in a bad mood in such place.
Immersed in the pages, he just noticed the pretty girl nearby when she addressed him directly - and he was about to nod and thank her for the praise when the next lines revealed to be a reprehension. Well, put his respect for books in doubt was too much, but she wasn’t completely wrong.
“You have a point. Though, it’s the respect for the books that made me decide it.” He says and takes the hat off, revealing the horn. “It’s safer this way in case of any accident or bump, and makes people around more calm, too. This is a place of quietness and some can be uneasy before the sight of a demon in the library, don’t you think?”
“As you can see, I’m a very considerate individual, lady.”
Chacha’s eyes widen gaining excited glint that comes with her usual smile. She doesn’t have to ask (though granted there’s temptation to give it a tug) to see it’s a real one. What creature may he be? An oni perhaps? The appearance seems different from the pictures though, she cannot be sure but it wouldn’t be a surprise for them to bear faults.
The foul mood is long gone now. As an avid story reader it’s only natural she’d be excited to meet with an actual specimen. A polite one at that.
“ Well, I must say you have me surprised. “
“ But I still question the necessity of it... Is the fabric really enough to protect from a bump? Wouldn’t the horn push through it? “
That’s not to say she doesn’t fully see his point. In front of unexpected people do sometimes dawdle, gaping their mouths in astonishment. Even grow fearful. But regardless....
“ Moreover... Only weak-minded would falter due to mere appearances, don’t you think? “
