^In the bookshop^
"Alper could you look at some informative books about every subject that could be used to teach Elvire. Something that she could also understand and start practicing reading with."
"Yes, master Levin. I will start looking, and I will not let you or the young miss down." Alper said and started to converse with the person who kept this bookshop about where to find the best books for teaching.
When Levin turned towards Elvire, he saw that the girl had already disappeared somewhere between the bookshelves. He started to worry and panic and imagined the worst-case scenarios that could happen to Elvire. But then he began to relax as he remembered that they were in a bookshop and it was a relatively small one and he could easily find the girl and Alper was also here.
So he just slowly started to look at the books if he could find something interesting to him or Jaana and, at the same time, to look at Elvire. He wanted to give the girl his own time as well and explore by herself that she wouldn't get too dependent on him or Jaana. What will happen when the girl goes to school? Of course, he wanted the girl to depend on them, but at the same time, he wanted the girl to have her own free will and adventurous spirit. So they won't restrict everything from her and be there always looking after her.
And this bookstore was a relatively safe place to start also. So he let the girl do what she wanted for now. And explore the bookstore by herself now, and he will just look from far away and silently exterminate the dangers from the girl's path.
At the same time, in a different corner of the bookstore, Elvire was searching for the thing that was calling her and whispering to her head. She was slowly getting closer and closer to the source, and the voices that were the first faint was starting to get louder and louder.
Finally, Elvire got towards one row of books, and there was a simple leather-covered book that looked fairly old. Many would pass it and not even look at it at all. But it was that book that was calling her amongst the other books. That old dusty leather-covered book that was probably simply forgotten among the other books, and no one has looked in years.
Elvire went and picked up the books, and suddenly she was experiencing a splitting headache as the book was starting to merge with the black ball in her chest and importing a massive amount of knowledge to her head that she didn't understand at all.
Her aura was rising, and she was already close to reaching the low tier. Still, the black ball suddenly stopped, but it still frantically glowed as if excited about the book that was slowly merging with it.
Elvire, who was experiencing the worst headache that she ever had, couldn't focus at all on anything else that was happening around her. The world was slowly spinning around her. Gradually, when the last drops of information from the boom had been imported to her brain. The book merged with the ball.
After this, she started to sense and hear again the familiar voice of Levin, who had been calling her.
"Elvire, are you alright? Answer me? Do you see anything? Do you hear anything?" Levin was panicking as the girl wasn't answering or reacting at all, but when he saw that the girl opened her eyes up slowly, he just waited for the girl to wake up and wondered what happened to Elvire. But then he suddenly thought, could it be that the girl increase her strength again?
No, it couldn't be that he said to himself, as she just had her increase of strength the day before.
Yet, when he checked and saw that it was what he really suspected. He couldn't believe his eyes. He could just guess that it was natural as most children who were around Elvire's age to have a quick leap of strength or tier.
So he just said to himself that Elvire was a little delayed, but when she did have her strength increase, she would have it at a faster pace, and that was normal with some people here. He stayed there and guarded the girl while waiting for her to wake up before continuing anything else at all.
Elvire woke up a moment later and saw the back of Levin, who was guarding her, and her face warmed up, as there was someone who cared about her.
She slowly walked towards Levin and took his hand and said to Levin faintly, "Thank you for everything."
Levin, who was surprised that the girl took his hand, didn't hear what the girl said and asked from her, "What did you just say, my dear?"
Elvire just smiled at him and said, "It is a secret."
Since Levin didn't know what to say. He could just hold the girl's hand and started to look the books again, but this time with Elvire.
