Tosho Meikyuu:Volume1 Chapter1

Library Labyrinth

You were running.

“Haa…! Haaa…!”

You were running away.

You were in the hexagonal reading room, surrounded by bookshelves on three sides. It was a labyrinth of unlimited archives, like a beehive. With much desperation, you tried to escape the bottom of the historical library called the ‘Library Labyrinth’.

“Haa, haa…ugh, ha, haa!”

To simply summarize, your life was in danger.

From the darkness of the labyrinth, a stone spear suddenly shot out, opening a massive vent in your flank.

You could feel the blood oozing out from your wound, soaking your coat to your undergarments. The long silver hair was dyed with reddish black spots, and a slight quivering breathing rang at your ear.

“Haa, I have to run away, run away…!!”

While carrying the dying girl on your back, you continued to wander around frantically in the depths of the library labyrinth, dozens of meters beneath the ‘Library Capital Alexandria’.

With the lives of the girl and yours on the line, it was literally a game of tag.

“—Ugh, kahh!”

The blobs of blood dripped from the tips of your hair, and the soles of your boots slipped. You stomped with your right foot to regain your footing, and gave a blood curdling scream.
