Transcript
Location: The Library – Floor of Natural Sciences
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
“Origin of the Elements”… “Effective nuclear charge”…
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
…Ah, is this the right shelf?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That’s the one. Sort the books in order, please.
Patron Librarian - Literature Hod
This one goes here… Malkuth? Could you bring me that book over there?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Got it! There are lots of difficult-looking books here~
Patron Librarian - Art Netzach
…Why are we on this floor to help with work like this.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
What other option do I have! I suddenly got a huge pile of books to organize, and the only vacant shelves are high up there…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
But, getting up there with the books… is a tough task to do on my own.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I usually get help from Chesed and Gebura, but they both seemed busy today.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And Roland is nowhere to be seen. Where did that beanpole go!
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
Oh, I saw Roland go upstairs some time ago, in fact.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
He must’ve had some business there, I guess…
Patron Librarian - Art Netzach
We looked like we had a lot of free time to you, huh…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Get a grip, Netzach! Tiphereth approached us to ask for help for the first time, you know?
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
She rarely came over to the Upper Layer back in the days, so it was hard for me to see her. I’m actually happy she came to us this time, you know?
Patron Librarian - Literature Hod
Yeah, your department was at the very top, so you must have had even fewer chances to see her.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Right. We were occupied with our work, too.
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
What is keeping the two Patron Librarians on the floors above busy at the moment, anyway?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
You know how Chesed is. Librarians from other floors drop by to enjoy his coffee all the time, and he’s always happy to oblige…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
And Gebura’s been sitting still with her eyes closed for some time. I’m not sure if she’s sleeping or meditating.
Patron Librarian - Literature Hod
Gebura’s been meditating often ever since she woke up here. Maybe she’s got lots of stuff to think about?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Maybe. I’d feel bad for invading her private moments too many times just to ask for help with errands…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
It’s not like I’m ignoring you or anything! You don’t… have to help if you don’t wanna.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Don’t you worry. Netzach may be a bellyacher, but he’s not hesitant to lend a hand.
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
You’re certainly dealing with books on advanced subject matter as Roland said. Some are quite difficult to comprehend, even for me.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
What was that? Are you treating me like a child like that beanpole did?
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
I did not intend to belittle you. It’s only…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
You’re worried that I might have a real hard time trying to understand all these, right? I never had proper education, unlike you all.
Patron Librarian - Tech. Sciences Yesod
…Yes, that is the case. I did not mean to pity you, but… are you really okay with this?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I kinda am upset, if you ask me. And the question could be taken as mockery, if I wanted to take it that way.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I can brush it off because I know you’re not the kind of person to throw jabs at me, Yesod.
Patron Librarian - History Malkuth
Really? I thought you hated all of us equally?
Patron Librarian - Art Netzach
The Upper Layer Syndrome…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…Look, I’m sorry about that! I was immature back then… And I thought my opinions were always right.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
But not anymore. I’m still good at what I do, but now I admit that you aren’t half bad, either.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
That doesn’t mean I want to be on friendlier terms with you all to make up for the past, don’t get me wrong!
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
All I ask is that you don’t feel so pressured about your relationships with me. We’re fine the way it is now.
Patron Librarian - Literature Hod
You must have changed your way of thinking quite a bit.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Hmph, it’s a perk of being more mature.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Anyway… I didn’t take offense at what you said, Yesod.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m actually glad that you seem to get how hard I’m trying, if you ask me.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m the one who read all the books here, figured out what they’re about, and labeled them, after all.
Patron Librarian - Literature Hod
You’re very positive, aren’t you?
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
I’m not. I would’ve been furious if someone else asked that.
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
…Alright, this is the last one for now. And…
Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences Tiphereth
Thanks for the help, guys.
