Koval Estate Improvement IV [Job/Solo]

job:

Now Noir will take it more personally as they reached the next part of the plan, Jericho also said there was an unused area near the estate too and that the building was ready to be used as a small library. The magician already saw the building and she was very happy to see it, but the next question would be how she would decorate it to be a comfy library… There should be a lot of comfy chairs and also tables too, not only that, Noir thought that there should be a couch by the window to make the library look more aesthetic. She also thought that there might be this laying down spot as well… for those who love to read books by laying down, but… since she wasn't sure about this one and it would be too much, Noir decided to save that plan for future use.

“Uhh, Ms Noir…?” Jericho tried to call the younger girl who was now staring at the outside the window, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. “Don't bother, she is in her dream land now. 100% daydreaming about her books.” Shousui said before she put her pipe between her lips, inhaling some of it.

Suddenly the girl would stand up from her seat, lifting her fist up, “Okay, let’s do this.” Although it would be hard to decipher what she was thinking at the moment, both Jericho and Shousui could see the fire inside the girl’s eyes. “Well, there’s nothing we can do if she is already fired up like that. Let’s start to do this plan then.” The older magician chuckled as she stood up, following the excited younger girl to her soon-to-be utopia. Jericho had no choice but to follow them as well, wondering how Noir would decorate the building.

As they went inside, Noir would then start to explain what was in her mind. She would start from what they should do with the library’s layout and proceeded to share her thoughts about the cozy couch near the window and some comfy table and chairs. “What do you think about it so far?” Noir would ask both Jericho and Shousui, wondering if they had any kind of other opinion. “Well, I like Noir’s idea so far, but I think we should try to make this library look bigger and not too cramped. So we can try to put all the bookshelves to lean against the wall, that way we have more area for people to enjoy reading the book.” Shousui would give her opinion as she put her finger on her chin, smiling as Noir nodded towards her, signaling that she liked the older woman’s idea.

Jericho would also laugh before nodding, “I see, we will try to set the layout as you two suggested then. However, what about the books? I don't think we have enough books. Should we buy it?” Well he actually was worried about how much the book will cost, it would cost a lot to actually try to fill this place.

“Don't worry about books, I will provide all of it. They are still in a very good condition and they have various themes as well. It will be enough for now.” Noir said confidently, “Just give me a day to transport my books though… I will be out for now to gather them.” The girl would then go outside the library and prepare her flying carpet before hopping on it to go to her dorm room.

It only took a second for Jericho to look towards Shousui as he pointed towards Noir who was ready to fly with her flying carpet, questioning the amount of the book she really had. “Let’s say it is enough to not let you walk freely inside a room and it would be impossible to see each other because of the book mountains.” Shousui casually said as she exited the library as well, wanting to go back to the meeting room so she could enjoy smoking. The only thing Jericho could do was to give an approving nod, that comparison was more than enough to let him know that Noir really had a lot of books. Now he had another worry though…. What if the library wasn't able to store all the books... But he had to believe, overthinking was bad and he would be better to prepare the furniture and all of the things needed inside the library so when Noir was done transporting her books, they could start to load the book to the bookshelves and finally open the public library.

“For the sake of God… how to bring all of these books…” Noir, who had already arrived in her dorm room, could only stop at the door as she stared at the mountains of books. If Vritra was here, she could try to transport it in one go, but unfortunately the sudden appearance of a giant dragon would be causing a commotion… so… she had no choice but to use magic. Wind magic might be a better choice for now, so Noir carefully opened the window of her dorm before hopping on her flying carpet and then infusing her magoi into her staff. Slowly, the books began to float on the air and Noir would control it so the books would be floating above her. The magician would be extra careful at handling her books, it was hard to transport them all but she had no choice but to keep focusing on 3 things at the same time. She had to keep infusing magoi to the flying carpet, to her staff so she could control her books, she didn't want it to be raining books… not only that, she also had to make sure she maneuvered the flying carpet to the right direction.

As soon as she managed to arrive at the estate, Noir directly headed to the library and she would still control the books to enter their new home before slowly putting them down on the floor. The girl slumped, it felt tiring… perhaps more tiring than being in the battlefields… But once she caught her breath, Noir looked around the library, noticing that it was almost done, the chairs and tables were already inside the building. “Okay…” The girl would begin to sort the books and as she was doing it, she noticed some people coming into the library, helping her to put the books on the bookshelves, confusing her. But she saw Jericho also helping her with the book, so she assumed it was him after all who called those people to help. Well, she was happy that they seemed happy, some even took a break by reading the books and they looked happy as they flipped the pages. Even after they were done filling the bookshelves, some of the people chose to stay for a little bit to continue enjoying the book, several others who also love books volunteered to be the librarian. Happy to know that there were book lovers like her in this estate, Noir smiled happily for the first time, surprising the others because she usually only has a stoic expression. All's Well That Ends Well.
