Haruto then returned to his dorm room, where he took a shower before going to bed.
The next day, Haruto woke up early in the morning, quickly went to take a shower, and finally, after finishing his shower, he immediately put on his clothes. Then Haruto left his room and hurriedly went to the library.
Upon arriving there, Haruto met an old woman who was the librarian and was just about to open the library door.
"You've come? I just arrived!" The old lady was surprised by Haruto's arrival.
"Ah? Isn't it better to find the book faster?" Haruto smiled awkwardly because he was very excited to get the lottery card voucher, so he hurriedly came.
"Haven't you eaten yet? I bought some bread; let's eat first, and then we can start looking for the book." The old lady showed Haruto the shopping list containing bread.
"May I?"
"Of course, let's eat."
They then started eating together, enjoying the bread in the morning.
After eating, the old lady spoke.
"My name is Mei Li, Mei is my first name, and Li is my last name. You can call me Miss Mei."
"Ah! Then I will definitely find the book, Miss Mei! My name is Haruto Sato! You can call me Haruto!"
"Hahaha! Alright, Haruto, listen carefully. The book we're looking for is called '15 Illusion Plants.' It's a very old book, and only a few dozen copies have survived and are scattered in various places, including this library. There are more than 150 bookshelves in this library, so we can search slowly. The key is not speed, but precision. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand, Miss Mei!"
"Good, let's start searching."
They then began searching slowly in the library. With over 150 bookshelves, each shelf having six rows to accommodate each book, it would take a very long time if there were only two people searching for a book among the hundreds or thousands of books in the library.
But in order to get the lottery card voucher and unlock the latest feature, Haruto was ready to search for as long as possible.
Time passed, and finally, after six hours, Haruto and Mei decided to take a break. It was already lunchtime, and Mei asked Haruto to rest for a while because they were both hungry. Haruto agreed, and they had lunch together, with the packed lunch brought by Mei.
The packed lunch consisted of rice, white tofu, chicken broth, and a bottle of warm tea. Although Haruto initially refused to eat Mei's packed lunch together, he eventually gave in and ate with her after being persuaded.
After finishing, Haruto thanked Mei for the meal and continued searching for the book. Seeing Haruto's figure, Mei fell silent for a moment before continuing her search as well.
They continued searching until the evening arrived. Mei asked Haruto to stop, which he agreed to. Haruto then apologized to Mei for not being able to find the book yet, but Mei said it was okay because there was still time.
After that, Haruto left and went to the cafeteria, where some students were also having dinner. The day before, Haruto didn't have dinner because he was still not accustomed to this world.
But this time, Haruto was starting to get used to it, and he was very hungry after spending his energy searching for the book in the library. However, this time Haruto wouldn't be able to eat peacefully because, as soon as he arrived.
