As we were arguing about trivial things a sweet voice interrupted us .
? : Would you mind keep your voice down its a library .
We turned around to see a well dressed lady somewhat noble like with a book in her hand standing before us .
Both : Who are you ?
? : I am mariel 007 the latest generation Android . I served as the librarian for the last 500 years .
You're the first people who have arrived after 409 years .
So how may I help you .
Jay : Well we have some questions. What is this place .
Mariel : As you can see it's a library which holds information.
Jay : I meant the entire place .
Mariel :
This is an underground hideout used for living by humana during unfavorable times . Such as disasters , or the increase in number of monsters .
McElroy : An where did you come from ?
Mariel :
Just the next room when the shelter sensed your presence I was woken up for your assistance .
Jay :
What kind of assistance do you provide .
Mariel :
I do all household tasks . From cooking to cleaning . I can present any type of data required . And I control the entire shelter .
Jay :
There are some demons hanging outside the dungeon do you know why ?
Mariel :
There are a number of possibilities but the one that stand out is they are not aware of the shelter or they aren't allowed to enter .
Before any more questions would you like to eat something or rest .
It's been a while since the last time we had guests .
So we took ate a lot of delicious food and even had a dessert and finally a nice cold coffee with ice cream .
They even had beds that were extremely maintained . And they looked so comfortable that you could instantly fall asleep even if you weren't tired .
And we fell asleep . We woke up at around 5 pm . Where she had tea made for us . The tea tasted so exquisite and flavorful that one could enjoy it's taste for a long time .
Mariel :
We should countinue our earlier discussion.
Jay :
Who built this place .
Mariel :
Please state your rank .
Jay :
I have no rank .
Mariel :
Then the information is classified .
McElroy :
Then what about the mana could you tell something about it .
Mariel :
Classified .
Jay :
What about the tablet earlier . What does it portray
Mariel :
It portrays state of the world in the past .
Jay :
Who were the 3 people on the land .
Mariel :
Classified.
Jay :
What about the sky .
Mariel :
Those were the 12 gods .
After many rounds of back and forth we gained nothing . But then I remembered that I had something big .
Jay :
Can you analyze books .
Mariel :
Yes with utmost efficiency.
Using the inventory I removed the diary of the witch . When I placed it in the table it could barely hold its weight
.
Jay : Please scan this and prepare a small summary of important events .
Mariel : Understood but it will take me atleast 1 day to analyze and compress that much information.
Please enjoy the facilities the facilities available in this shelter until then .
That was the best day so far . I took a luxurious bath after a long time .
Then we played air hockey with each other .
I slept again till 8 in the morning but I was still very excited . I woke up .
Had a high quality breakfast in which we were served bread butter and eggs .
Once again i had a luxurious bath and then spent some time in the library to read some books . I am really enjoying it . And I was watching some recordings of people . To search for some relevant information until Mariel shut me down . Had lunch
Slept some more had a drink and finally it was time .
Mariel :
Here's the summary .
The summary was almost half the size of the book but it still feet very humongous .
Jay :
Thank you for your efforts . Do you have any request we may fullfill .
Mariel :
I am an android created to assist humans and programmed to be human like .
I have no ambitions as such .
I am very grateful that you asked me .
Though I want to see the new state of the world .
Please wait a moment .
She arrived 19 minutes later .
She showed us a spherical pendant with a smaall screen in the front .
She handed it to us .
Mariel :
I downloaded my data into the pendant and using this I can assist you anywhere .
And the data will be transmitted back to me so I can process the outside data myself .
McElroy :
So In a sense you will be with us as well as here .
Mariel :
Precisely .
We got out of the so called dungeon and forgot in thing the demon chief was still waiting for us like an npc
Yeah we forgot that he was there .
Shit .
Demon chief :
So what did you discovered .
Jay :
Well actually we would like to ask you something first .
Demon chief :
Hmm I am listening .
Jay :
Why didn't you enter the fortress and why are you so co operative.
Demon chief :
This is the order of my master to guard the dungeon till he says so .
And curse you and your thinking that demons are bad . Some of us might be . Still be thankful that I didn't split your head for that .
His outburst of emotions were totally correct . But even the dictionary also defines the demons as evil .
I am sorry but I have to give you incorrect information
Jay :
It is nothing but a maze leading to nowhere we were lost for 2 days .
Demon chief :
I see well thanks
He lead us outside and because of his good nature we dropped our guards .
And as soon as I saw back there was an axe swinging besides my neck .
The world around me felt in slow motion . But it gave me time to react as I broke his axe off with my bare hands .
Demon chief :
I can forgive you for destroying the fortress . I can forgive you for lying straight to my face but I can never forgive you killing my people .
