Yuzu opened the door to the school's library, finding herself being the second on-scene after Scheherazade. It wasn't a surprise to find the familiar sitting there; after all, he didn't have any classes to worry about like Yuzu and the others. Yuzu didn't sit down quite yet, though. She wanted to wait and greet the others as they arrived... [i]and[/i] there was still an awkward silence between her and Scheherazade. Yuzu greeted Yuri, then Ayaka when the two arrived shortly after she had. Just one more needed to join them now.

[color=#36A1FF]"Ah, Kanata!"[/color] Yuzu said as the youngest and newest among them joined in the meeting room. Kanata hadn't been on the team for long; in truth, yesterday was meant to be her first mission. [color=#36A1FF][i]"Right... yesterday..."[/i][/color] Yuzu thought to herself. She felt her mind wander back to the day before.

[hr][i][color=#36A1FF]"I won't let you get away!"[/color]

Robin's bow was drawn at Harlequin, the jester making her escape with the new grimoire in hand. She had a clean shot; all Robin needed to do was take it. The arena around her, however, was crumbling. If Robin took the shot, she'd have endanger Kanata. Stop the escape or save her friend; Robin didn't have any time to think about what the right decision to make was.

[i]*snap*[/i]

Kanata's rope had snapped. She'd gone into freefall. [color=#36A1FF]"Watch out!"[/color] Robin shouted and, just barely, managed to catch the younger girl. Carrying her like a groom would their bride, Robin gave Kanata a reassuring smile. Forgoing the use of codenames, as the enemy had already fled, Robin- no, Yuzu had asked [color=#36A1FF]"Are you alright, Kanata?"[/color]

Kanata nodded her head and let out a quick [color=FA8072][b]"Mhm,"[/b][/color] before following it up with [color=FA8072][b]"What about the others?"[/b][/color]

With the reassurance she was okay, Yuzu let Kanata down onto her feet. [color=#36A1FF]"Don't worry. Yuri and Ayaka are tough. Let's go check up on them,"[/color] Yuzu told Kanata and grabbed her hand, positively pulling her along back downstairs to meet up with the rest of the team.[/i][hr]Thinking back, Yuzu didn't regret her choice of saving Kanata. Even if it meant letting the enemy go, her friends were more important. Maybe that's why Yuzu, unbeknownst to herself, gave the other girl a soft, reassuring smile. 'It's okay,' that smile said, something Yuzu didn't have the chance to tell her the day prior. Not that many words could've been exchanged in the moment either, with Scheherazade not waiting long after everyone's arrival to explain his mysterious silence on matters. Those two girls- the Darkkeepers- were under his guidance once. Now, however, they were corrupted by the forces they fought against.

And even after the explanation was finished did the party not get a moment's rest. An older girl approached the group, asking about returning a book. Yuri sprang up as the first to answer, but...

"[color=7bcdc8]You know there's a return slot at the return desk you could've just slid it in there, but no worries.  What's your name?[/color]"

[color=#36A1FF]"Y-Yuri, that's a little..."[/color] Yuzu tried to interrupt, but she couldn't quite bring herself to finish the sentence with "crude" or even "unrefined". Yuzu was quite a bit more timid when she wasn't busy fighting monsters. While Yuri [i]was[/i] a boy, his straightforwardness was still a bit... out of place. [color=#36A1FF]"I'm actually the, um, club president. Checking books in and out when the librarian isn't here is actually my task... err, I'll go get the list!"[/color]

Yuzu did as she said she would, gone for only about a minute as she searched for pen and paper. When she returned, Yuzu diligently compared the name of the book in the mysterious girl's arms to the ones on the list. [color=#36A1FF]"Let's see... It's this one, right?"[/color] Yuzu pointed at the spot she was looking at with her pen. Yuzu tried saying the name written down aloud, but it was clearly a foreign name. She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it. [color=#36A1FF]"The one under the name, um... Leviathan See-run?"[/color]
