Location: The Library - Floor of History
Servant Roland
So? Have the books helped?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Yep! I’m sorting them all somehow.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
It seems to be working thankfully!
Servant Roland
Phew, that’s good to hear.
Servant Roland
By the way, I think I remember Angela saying something along the lines of you “earning a fleshy body” the last time we met.
Servant Roland
Were you, like, not human before?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
…It was like a replacement body. A change that couldn’t ever be reverted.
Servant Roland
So you had a brain transplant surgery, but somehow managed to go back to your old human body here?
Servant Roland
That’s actually pretty impressive. Thanks to the Library’s powers, I’m guessing?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Yeah, I think so.
Servant Roland
You can’t let yourself be held back by common sense in the Library, huh.
Servant Roland
I take it that you don’t really like having your body back? You didn’t seem too happy back then.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Oh no, I actually do like it! It’s just that this isn’t exactly how I wanted things to go down.
Servant Roland
What did you do in the past, then?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
…Yeah, I wonder. What was I in the past, really?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
You wouldn’t believe it, but… This is actually my third try at life.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
This Library and its librarians have a lot of history behind them.
Servant Roland
Third try? Can you come back from the grave or something?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
It’s the accumulated memories from my two previous bodies that were carried over, to be precise.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
My past selves… I never really thought about it this way before.
Servant Roland
A difficult problem you’re facing there. How about your present self?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
…I’m an irresponsible person who let down everyone’s efforts.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
And an idiot who tried to reach for something out of my means and ended up causing trouble, I suppose…
Servant Roland
Whoa, whoa, hold your horses! Let’s not get too dark here.
Servant Roland
Let’s just calm down for a moment.
Servant Roland
Take a deep breath~
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Huuf~
Servant Roland
And let it out~
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Pah~
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Huuuuf~~
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Pah~!
Servant Roland
Relaxed now?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Yeah, it really helped! Thanks, Roland.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
should know better than anyone that it’s pointless to get upset over things I can’t do anything about…
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
I gotta start with the things I can take care of first!
Servant Roland
Alright. I’ll try hard with my work, too. Let’s take our time with the problem of past selves.
