In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

The library, a place where so much knowledge is in one place, a quiet place for many people gathered to get a bit of the knowledge inside, a place where Anne worked as the librarian. A cheerful forty years old, with no family, Anne loves to read, since elementary, she develops her skill of reading. She could read at the mere age of three years old, she was fond of every fairytale story, from Hans Christian Andersen, The Grimm, and also folklores from every country.

Anne lived alone, day by day. She was living a stagnant existence. When is her time to leave the world? Was the only thought she had. She thought she is already given her part of the world, and one solace and peaceful non-existence.

”Anne, someone called you earlier from the landline. ”

Anne turns her head to the source of the voice. It was her co-worker, a man with thick glasses, named Bernard.

”Really? Whos calling me? ”

”I don know. It was the voice of a man. He asked if you
e arriving safely at the premise. ”

She snorted by the way Bernard had spoken. ”Safely to the premise? What? ”

”Hey, its not my word, its his word. Don blame me. ”

”What did you say, then? ”

Bernard shrugged, and said, ”That you have arrived safely. What else? ”

”I see, thank you, Bernard. ”

She felt there was something odd about the mysterious call. People nowadays rarely use a landline anymore. She let out a sigh and decide to forget about the call altogether. It wasn a busy day for her and Bernard. Theres only a handful of people inside the library. Though it is not a strange occurrence. Young people love to use their phones, rather than visited the library. The digital age makes every hard print copy a hard time surviving.

Anne, on the other hand, loves to read the hard print book. She likes the feel of the cover, especially the leather-bound book, and the smell that comes from the old book. She has a weird addiction. Every night before she locks the place, she will go down to the basement, and try to find a fresh smell that comes from the old books. Today is not an exception. She will wait for Bernard to clock out, and go downstairs, to the basement, where there are tons of old works of literature lying around, begging to be read.

This is her moment, especially if she could find a hidden treasure, a fairytale book she had never read. She looks at the old piles under a broken shelf. The books were musty, and she feared some of it already sustained some damage. She was heartbroken. If only her employer could maintain the place a bit better. She tried asking for more funding, no response.

Before she begins into the other shelves, she looks at her watch and squeaks.

”Oh my God, Im going to be late! ”

Her steps are lighter. Anne took her bag and rushed to lock the library. She called for a taxi to go somewhere in mid-town. There she met with her friends, more than a colleague, best friends, with whom she shared her love for anything quirky or unusual for some people.

”Anne! Finally! ” Cheers to one man, with a unique mustache.

”Hey, Albert, yes, Im here. ”

”Finally, someone that can calm the f*cked of Jeremy, he is whining endlessly about the new season of that new hot anime. ”

Anne squinted her eyes, confused at Alberts words. ”Which one? I recalled, he has so many ongoing animes at the moment, ” Anne said, while her head turn into one of the big men wearing a plaid shirt.

”You knew, the one about a spy and a secret agent with a child genius. ”

”Oh… that one. Its a good one. Im sure he just wanted to search for something to have a good debate with everyone. ”

Albert rolled his eyes. ”Well, duh! You know Jeremy, full of drama, all the time. ”

”Careful, Albert, Anime Expo is coming soon, he got a good tent for us. ” Anne giggled and tried to tease his friend.

She is always had a good time with all of her friends, or as Anne recalled her hobby friends, they have the same interest, and she feels safe being around her, even as a forty-year-old woman. She took time to be with her friends once in a while, but for her, the daily routine was already becoming mundane. In her mind, an adventure, some new excitement in life.

Anne knows, her wishes have a slight chance to come true. She has no family, no fortune, and no partner. As usual, the alarm woke h
