Save Log 26: Here We Are Facing The Devil (Part 2)

After introducing himself, everyone in the shop fell into silence. This man isn't someone we can just ignore.

"That's a weird name. Cel Nyastian, Lol." Lina started to laugh at the man.

What the heck are you doing you stupid cat?!

"I guess it is a weird name to choose."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Draken, the voice inside Joro spoke lightly.

"I am the owner of this library as you can see. So of course I will be here, my darling Drake."

Yep, this is that devil that we fought. Celestial, the demon of spirits. Said to be one of the General of the Demon Overlord. Although, the last time we fought her, she was a female in all ways. Now, a man is standing in front of us.

"Drake? You know Draken? H-how did you.."

"This that demon Celestia you bi*ch. Stop doing anything stupid before you get us killed." I whispered to the stupid cat before she does something stupid again.

"Ehh?! This is Celestia? Are you here to destroy the town!?"

"Oh no. I am not killing anyone or anything. I am just a normal librarian in this peaceful town." the man, Cel, said with a heartwarming smile. I am not sure if it was the same Celestia that used to smile creepily before.

"So the fact about the demon being genderless is true." Furara muttered to herself.

"Indeed. Not for all of us though. Some of them have gender. Most of us demons like to stay either male or female. I mostly like to be a female but, my identity will be revealed and it will be troublesome to live with my darling Drake!" he gave a lovey-dovey glance toward Joro on my shoulder. For some reason, Draken showed no sign of anger or bitterness toward Cel.

"Hey, Draken are you by chance a.."

"Don't you dare talk about it." Drake hissed at Joro who couldn't finish his piece. Drake is acting weird all of a sudden.

"Oh! That means Draken can turn into a girl?"

"Ye-yes. I can."

"I wanna see how Joro looks like as a female. Can you turn into...hmm that was a weird thing to say never mind." Lina changed her mind, noticing Draken's murderous glare.

"So you are staying in this town just for Draken?" Joro asked.

"Yes, that's my goal. I don't want to be separated from my darling Draken again. I was very stressed when you left the army all of a sudden."

Drake gave no comment whatsoever. He kept staring at 'her'.

"Can I come to this library Celestia-san?"

"Sure, it's a public library. Used to be one before too but the librarian died. The mayor couldn't find anyone who would take the position. So it was abandoned for a while."

"Sherman was a good old man. I liked that dude. I forgot about this place was a library before. It was empty for 2 years." Lina commented. Sherman must be the librarian's name.

"I will come here after I finish a few more books at Joro-sama's library."

"You are welcome anytime. This library is open all day and all night. 24/7 service."

That's pretty neat. I will come here as well. I have read the manga so many times that I can tell which page has what actions now. Need something new to read.

"You will find something new in this library I can assure you." said Cel, working on organizing the shelves.

"?!"

Did he just read my mind?

"Well, I guess Draken was right after all. There was a demon in the town."

"I miss going to a public library. Our town used to have one. It was my favourite place to spend time."

"I would like Draken to come to the library as well. I have got the book that you always read."

"If it is what it is, I will come to the library."

"Ehhh?!" all of us gave out an uproar.

"What? What was that commotion for?"

"I think they were surprised when you accepted the invitation from the person you used to hate." said Joro. It's just like he said.

"Shut up!"

"I will wait for your arrival then. Anyway, you all need to leave now. I have more work to finish. See you around Draken darling."

"Alrightie, see ya to Cel."

The door was shut tight before us after we crossed the entrance. We stood there silently until Lina broke the silence.

"It's getting cold earlier this year."

"It is indeed."

I too can feel the cold getting on too earlier than it should have. Time to prepare for winter in this world. Everything is going too smoothly until now. The winter might change all of it without noticing.
