Reincarnate: My Rival

Chapter Thirty-One: Luna Bookstore

I followed both the waitress and the violet-haired lady quietly. Right now, the two of them were leading me in the dark basement. And after a while of walking around, the three of us stopped at a black door, which seemed to blend well with the dark room.

The door seemed ominous and people would likely imagine a creepy monster crawling out of there anytime soon.

But as soon as I saw the tiny, crescent-shaped moon, I immediately knew that this is the door to the bookstore.

The lady knocked once on the door as she whispered, "Atlas Orbis Books."

Base on my intuition and my previous lessons about the latin language, Atlas Orbis Books is the latin translation of Luna Bookstore.

The door let out a 'clink' sound as it slide sideways which revealed a floating sphere just like the ones in the dormitories. Although the one here has a wall surrounding it.

The three of us entered as the sphere, not needing any commands, it just went straight down.

While waiting awkwardly in silence, the violet-haired lady decided to start a conversation.

"So, how did you know about Luna Bookstore?" The lady ask with a brow raised.

I thought about it for a moment and just decided to tell her the truth.

"Forest Pureheart told me."

The lady paused then looked at me in shock, "Forest? The girl with short, green hair and green eyes?"

Although suspicious on why the lady knew her, I eventually nodded.

She frowned suddenly, "My niece told you, huh."

"What?!"

"Dear, i'm Forest's aunt. Her mother is my little sister."

I nodded slowly, still letting the new information sink in. So that's why Forest knew about the bookstore. It seemed her aunt told her about it.

"Are you her friend?"

"Eh, seems like it. Venus Crystle told her to look out for me. It's kinda embarrasing but, yeah." I said sheepishly.

"Venus Crystle? How do you know her?!"

"Yeah. She's the mayor of our town. So, I practically do know her, I guess. Why though?"

"Venus? She used to be my bestfriend. But suddenly, I wasn't able to contact her after my little sister's wedding."

My eyes widen. With the new information, my brain wasn't able to adapt very much. So I just stood there looking dazedly at the ceiling.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening up snapped me out of my daze. As the door slowly opens, I was able to take a glimpse on what's outside.

And all I could say is, wow!
