"Hentai, hentai, hentai…"
We find Rin Grayson staring with a look of intrigue on his feminine face as he was seen staring at the computer screen on one of the cubicles in the computer section of the school's library.
Unfortunately, Kana was not able to accompany Rin in his endeavors as she remembered that she has some Class representative duties to attend to but she promises the bot that she too will be doing some research on her own and will share at what they have gathered.
Typing the word that he has been muttering about on the search bar and clicking enter, the boy waited eagerly awaits at what the valuable and vast world of the internet shall provide him with the information that he has been very curious when Keana mentioned the word just a few hours ago during their conversation after humiliating Erica Von'laden in public.
In just a second, the search results have finally come for Rin to see and oh boy, he was now seen to be scowling at what the computer screen has been showing to him.
"0 results!?" Rin gritted his teeth in frustration, slamming the desk in annoyance.
It seems that the search has been filtered as shown in the search engine.
The librarian, a middle-aged woman with pony-tailed pale orange hair took notice of such loud actions and immediately reprimanded the blue-haired boy by silencing him with an "shh!!"
"Oh, hehehe sorry." Rin smiled sheepishly as he bows his head down in apology.
'Strange.' The boy assumed a serious look as he pondered deeply. 'The results show nothing in the subject matter at hand. Could this hentai be something of a top-secret that only the most privileged of individuals could only know? Keana and by the looks of it, even Meiko has knowledge of the matter. Asking them again would do no good as they are rather adamant in keeping it a secret from Kana and I. Speaking of Kana, why does not she know too? If that is so, then my initial reasoning of privileged individuals only knowing may rather be invalid. God this is so confusing!!!'
A light bulb suddenly formed on the top of his head, an idea suddenly struck as he remembered a certain word that has been added in the subject matter that he has been searching.
'Tentacle hentai…Tentacles.' Rin thought. 'Perhaps if I research on the topic regarding animals who share similar physical features, then I might find a clue in regards to that.'
With a newfound rigor, the blue-haired boy begun to search once more on the internet that is related to octopuses, squids, jellyfishes, and many others.
His efforts have proven to be in vain as he could not find anything that is related anything to the word hentai.
'This is mentally exhausting.' Rin sighed with a deep breath. 'Even as an expert in intelligence gathering in my years in the Brotherhood, this has got to be one of the hardest challenges that I have ever faced!! The articles only show the animal's physical-biological features, their habitats, how they survive and live in the sea. Nothing about hentai at all!!!'
The boy pulled his hair in irritation as he stood up from his chair inside the cubicle.
The boy suddenly smiled widely as now, he seemed to be intrigued at the prospect of finding out what hentai really is all about. 'Interesting. It seems that knowledge of hentai is so well-kept from the public that they resort to hiding anything that is related to it. Hehehe, such an enigma and I will make sure to crack the code that is hentai even when my Agent career is on the line!!!'
Then the boy turns his eyes on the bookshelves nearby, the Animal section to be precise. 'I suppose this calls for the old school of learning.'
Rin began to browse the books and after minutes of scanning and reading, his search once again proves to be more futile, the look of vexation evident on his facial figure.
The library seemed to have taken notice of the boy's expression as she felt a bit of concern towards the seemingly frustrated young student that she has been observing for a little while since she is practically the only student here inside. She then approaches Rin if she could help him with whatever his problems may be.
"You seem to be troubled young lady." The librarian smiled in a friendly manner. "Can I help you with something?
Rin turned his head at the source of the female voice and his expression calms down at seeing the school librarian talking to him. Then it suddenly hit him.
'Of course!!!' Rin thought in an enthusiastic manner. 'If anyone can help me in this mystery, then it's the school librarian herself, the most knowledgeable person here inside for obvious reasons. Why didn't I think of asking her earlier?'
The blue-haired boy smiled, feeling energized. "Oh yes, I appreciate the help ma'am. You see, I've been researching on a certain topic relating to animals who shares the same physical trait of having tentacles. Maybe you can help me?"
"Of course young lady, never before have I witness someone so passionate in their research. Most students would only rely on the internet these days but you young lady." The librarian smiled. "You also delve rather deep by going through the books. Just tell me what are your concerns and I'll gladly perform to the best of my abilities to help you in your predicament."
"Wow, thank you so much ma'am." Rin grinned sheepishly. "You see I've been researching on a certain topic that may be related to the animals that I've been reading earlier."
"I see." The librarian nodded. "So what is the subject matter that has been troubling you?"
"Hentai." Rin answered with no signs of hesitation.
The librarian was suddenly caught off guard, her jaw instantly dropping at mere astonishment and was now feeling mortified at how this young girl in front of her seemingly said such word nonchalantly.
"C-come again?" The librarian must have been hearing things. There is no way for such a young lady like her would utter such vulgar language right in the librarian's very presence.
"Hentai." Rin grinned as he scratches his head sheepishly and clarified her. "Well, Tentacle hentai to be precise, the reason why I'm looking into animals who have those traits."
The librarian's world in this very peak of a moment, crumbled to dust, now looking utmost horrified that she was not hearing things at all!!!
Rin could only look in confusion at why the Librarian suddenly drops her smile and is now staring at him intently like her husband has divorced her or something…
--------------------------------------
"The fuck did I do?"
After the librarian berated him for improper conduct, manners, and etiquette unbefitting for a young lady such as her, the librarian threw him out of the library told him to reflect on his own actions.
'Damn.' Rin now was feeling suspicious at the fact that people have been holding such information away from him. First it was Keana and Meiko, now it's the school librarian herself!!
As he was pondering on his next course of action while walking, he was greeted by someone that he least expected.
"Hello Ms. Mayfield, what a wonderful coincidence to meet you here."
The headmaster himself, Jonathan Erendal greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Oh hey Erendal." Rin acknowledged the older man's presence.
"So what brings you here in the library Ms. Mayfield? Is it for school work perhaps?" Jonathan asked.
"Nah nothing on that." Rin waved his hand in dismissal.
"I see." Jonathan nodded. "Well since we are here now at each other's presence, I might as well asked how your life fares here inside my prestigious academy."
"It's cool." Rin smiled "Made some friends inside my class and I'm starting to kind of like it here. Keana, Meiko and your daughter sure are very friendly and I owe them greatly since they are the first to welcome me here."
"Good, good." Jonathan smiled. "And I can only assume that my daughter is well and good?"
"Yup." Rin answered in high spirits. "Kana sure is a good girl and I'm glad to have her as my friend."
"Excellent." Jonathan nodded in satisfaction. "So what are you currently up to right now Ms. Mayfield."
"Oh nothing much." Rin simply responded. "Your daughter and I have been rather hooked up now at this intriguing thing called Hentai."
PFFFTTT!!!
"C-come again Ms. Mayfield?" Jonathan stuttered, definitely was not expecting at such… colorful interests that Rin and even his daughter have been tackling at this very late.
"Yup and we both agreed to look up specifically on Tentacle Hentai!!" Rin cheerfully said.
"I see…" Jonathan was astonished... The mere fact that his daughter… and a boy is currently involving themselves in such wild plays.
To his credit, Jonathan seemed to be rather calm despite his daughter having such… hobbies that he was not aware of.
"I'm not one to judge on other people's interest but please keep them to yourself Ms. Mayfield and hopefully won't apply it in real life."
"Uh... Sure." Rin merely responded with uncertainty. Then his crimson-red eyes turn to his wristwatch striking at 6:30 pm. "Ah crap, it's getting a bit late. See you around Erendal!!"
Jonathan could only look at Rin's retreating figure, dumbfounded at their rather… fascinating conversation that they had.
'Youth these days. Sometimes, I can't understand them. It seems I have to talk to Kana about this. Huh, what a father I turn out to be if Kana has been indulging herself in such hobbies…'
Meanwhile in Rin's mind, the boy could only scream mentally in frustration, forgetting something about the matter at why he was in the library in the first place…
'Crap!!! The time got me engrossed that I forgot to ask him about Hentai!!!'
