Chapter 1050
Realizing what she had done, she quickly withdrew her touch and picked a few books as the man did the same

before taking two books with her up the ladder.
“Be careful,” he reminded her from behind.
“I‘ll be fine. I do this all the time!” She smiled. Since she was an avid reader, she was used to climbing up ladders
against bookshelves.

the book in, the little mouse was startled by this movement.
Squeak, squeak! The mouse instantly crawled out from the little corner and jumped toward Ruka‘s face.
“Aaahhhh!” Frightened, she waved her arms, causing her to fall backward.

moonlight refracted into the room, she could not see his features properly, but she could sense the glimmer in his
eyes.
“I have to chase it away. What if it ruins the books?” Even though Ruka was petrified earlier, she found her courage
back as she was looking around for something.
