Chapter 103 – Volu 2.
After we finished our bath, Hestia returned to her room, and I went downstairs to prepare breakfast for both of us. There wasn't much to cook, so I made eggs and toast.
I also made so tea, which was the only thing available. I miss having coffee with milk, but I don't know where to get coffee. I don't rember the author ntioning it in the original story.
Oh well, the important thing is to keep the stomach full.
"This is delicious. You're really good at cooking."
"I prefer making pasta. I'm not that great at preparing breakfast."
"I've never had scrambled eggs better than yours. It's delicious."
"Thanks, I guess." I chuckled and ate a portion of the scrambled eggs. They were pretty tasty, but I hadn't many seasoning options, so it could've been much better.
"Do you plan to go out today?" Hestia asked while wiping her mouth.
I sipped my tea and replied, "I plan to go to the library. I have sothing to take care of."
"Is there a problem with the publication of the second volu?"
"No, of course not. I'm just going there for sothing else. Don't worry; the book's release is still on schedule."
"I'm really excited!"
"Haven't you already read it?"
"I didn't read it all the way to the end... But I'm more curious about the art you ntioned earlier. You didn't want to show them to ..."
"It's a surprise. Anyway, I couldn't bring the arts here."
"Alright, alright~~"
"Just wait for the volu to be released. Don't be so impatient."
Hestia gave
a smile and then stuffed another portion of scrambled eggs into her mouth. So, I decided to ask about yesterday. I asked if she liked it and if the pain had lessened.
She said it still hurt when we were in the bathroom, but I hope it's better now.
"It was really good, better than I expected... Lili was right. But you really overdid it, didn't you? You were too rough with !"
"You're too beautiful, and your pussy was just too good."
"About the pain... It's still there, but it's a little better. I'm recovering quickly and think I'll be 100% by tonight."
"So we can do it again tonight then."
"No! Don't get so cocky! Let
rest for at least a day; don't be in such a rush." Hestia said, irritated.
"Alright, I'll hold back. But if you keep walking around in this dress, it will be hard for
to restrain myself."
"This is how I've always dressed!"
"And you think I didn't want to attack you?"
"Ugh, gross! You're creepy!"
"I'm joking, I'm joking. If you say things like that, I'll get sad."
"Pervert!"

I left the mansion after breakfast and headed to the library, walking quickly. Elma must have prepared the requested volu, and I was curious to see how it is.
When I arrived at the entrance, there weren't many people, so the second volu hadn't been released yet. I feared Elma might have rushed the publication and caused so problems, but she didn't.
Elma greeted
with a smile as soon as I walked in.
"You ca to pick that up?" she asked.
"Yes, is it ready?"
"Of course, follow ."
It was my first ti going into the storage area of the library, where there were many other books, primarily copies of Re: Zero. Boxes and boxes of them.
"Here it is." Elma picked up a very secure box that even had a lock as if it were the most important thing in the world.
I carefully took the box, and Elma unlocked the padlock. When the box opened, I was hypnotized by what I saw. It was the illustration I had seen before, but the colors were more vivid and vibrant.
The title was also in a different font, and "Volu 2" was printed on the cover, along with my na. Seeing my na on that cover made
happy and a bit down.
Because I know this story isn't mine.
'One day, I'll write sothing original.'
Elma noticed I was sad and asked, "Is everything alright? Is sothing wrong?"
"No, it's as beautiful as I expected... No! It's even better than I expected. You did an amazing job." I put the book back in the box and locked it. Elma handed
the key.
"Be very careful with that. Don't let people find out you have it, or they'll probably try to steal it."
"They'd go that far?"
"Absolutely!" Elma exclaid. "If people discover this, they'll try to steal it to sell. They could make a fortune with it."
"Even though it will be released in a few days?"
"It's the first copy! This first copy is only less valuable than the original manuscript. Speaking of the manuscript, the first volu's manuscript is still safely stored in a vault. Do you want
to keep it, or are you planning to take it?"
"Don't worry, you can keep it for ."
"I'll guard it with great pleasure!"
"Thank you so much for this, Elma. For everything you've done so far and for getting this copy to
so quickly."
"I should be the one thanking you! It's thanks to you that I managed to keep this bookstore alive. Before, people only ca here to read, and no one bought anything. But now, you've made my store more profitable than ever."
"I could only sell so much because of you."
"Of course not! Oh, and can I ask again who you will give this to? Will you tell
this ti? Hehe."
"It's a secret."
"I'm jealous of the woman who's going to receive this. Unfortunately, I'm an old woman now, I don't get gifts like I used to. I was quite popular, you know?"
"I believe you. Hahaha."
I left Elma's library/shop shortly after. I headed straight to the Loki Familia's house without caring about the consequences.
