I am Ash's no 1 fan

I was a little shocked about my parents secret, but I was a little excited too but facing my aunt's serious expression I had to hold it in. I turned my eyes to the person beside me whose eyes were burning even more brightly, and I became hesitant about bringing her here.

I yelped as my hand holding her mouth was a bit fierce, and she narrowed her eyes to slit examining me with an expression of a hunter. Damn, when it comes to books; this girl suddenly turns into a freak, but I'm used to her behavior, so I removed my hand and ignored her expression.

"What am I to do" I said watching her stand at the door

"You have to be committed to this because it's not just a book this time. It's life" she said pressing a hand to the door making the symbols glow brighter before it opened on its own to a white room with only different bookshelves marked with different genres and people in appearing behind the shelves wearing different dressing styles; from historical to robes to leather armor so that it looked like a cosplay convention not some secret organization.

We walked to the center then she tapped her foot making a huge round hole which enabled us to descend a platform to an underground city with different types of infrastructure where people wearing the same jumper uniform colored in black with a logo of an opened book

We walked past the bustling crowds watching kids and winged lizards named a dragon by aunt and basically every type of book race ever created walking the streets freely. I thought that when I got to see these creatures that are found only in fantasy right in front of me, I would be like the idiot at the back making muffled screams, but it just felt weird like you finished wanting something but when it is given to you, you find out that it's 1% not the same in your imagination, so you feel subconsciously about it.

"Welcome to the Archive" she said after we got in.

..."This is my office", I heard my auntie say while I examined the room at the highest building on the highest floor. In fact it should be regarded as the president's office especially with different races of guards....

"I still don't understand what you want me to do for you and why you can't do it" I said

Taking the initiative to sit on the couch while the others stood behind me except for Derrick who sat down at the corner seat not bothered at all about us.

"It's not for me but for your country, not the world, and it's not easy to find someone so compatible to all kinds of worlds" she said sitting down in the big chair crossing her legs behind her table giving off a sharp aura, but I'm not one to be intimidated by that since it's lesson 101 from books.

"That isn't exactly an answer" I reply boldly testing how much respect they are willing to give me because I refuse to be a slave

"I guess it is, but you don't have the ability or clearance to demand it from me" she replied chuckling.

"But I do have what you need the most; the key to opening all the books" I replied offering my cards on the table.

"And I suppose you aren't willing to give it to me" she asked raising an eyebrow

"Not on your life" I was about to reply when ZEE blurted out this statement, so I smiled thinking that this stupid girl is finally back to her senses and nodded while my aunt ignored her.

"Well then I'm sending you along with our most diligent operatives to root out the filth hiding at the corners"

"Where did they come from anyway" I asked

"There will always be a villain" she replied. It seems since it's based off a book then there must always be persecution related to it.

"You're not going to ask to see it" I ask noticing this meeting is about to come to an end

"I trust you will keep it and I trust my men to watch that you do. Tobias will lead you to your new quarters, and later you will meet your new friends, now shoo" she said waving her hands at the end of the sentence sending us off.

"So where you were born here" I ask 4 walking beside him as he took us to our new house which was a regular story building that you find anywhere above the surface.

"What do you think" he snorted

"Grumpy much" I teased

" Maybe he's just hungry" Ken added smirking making me smile too.

"This house is for four of you plus the rest of our team. You will meet us outside in an hour to discuss at another place" 4 said tossing me the key and coldly walking away.

I chuckled and walked into the apartment.

************************************************

There are 5 floors and 2 bedrooms on each floor. I obviously took the one at the first floor because of Derrick who chose it because he wanted to seclude himself there so once we all got in, he walked to the highest floor straight away to pick a room then he locked the door blocking us out. I didn't get discouraged, so I took the chance to look around, exploring each floor carefully.

The result was a haven for introverts, I mean who puts a bar, snack bar, dining room enough for a restaurant, movie room, library and don't get me started on the rooms which by the way can change interior design according to your preferences, has a bed that massages, with all the bathroom commodity you need and a cotton candy machine. That's right it's not in the snack bar but each room, someone slap me I don't want to wake up... Wait that's wrong but who cares it's heaven here but I have to leave it...yes I have to as a fervent otaku I can't miss this opportunity.

I mean I saw a dragon in real life and not in 'Reincarnated as a slime' plus all those hybrids of different species and most importantly that face card.

A lot of people here are manwha level beautiful like different versions of book boyfriends some cute, sexy, mature.... There are just so many kinds of aesthetics, but surprisingly I haven't found someone who can beat Derrick yet, and he's wearing glasses but well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and trust me when I say I have beholden...a lot.

I got bored after a while and wanted to go outside to see if I could form a harem of beautiful men... I mean explore, don't mind me. I walk past Ash and Ken talking seriously but all I hear is Ken is leading by 2 points

. TSK TSK 4 really needs to work harder or this idiot might win. I reached that guy's door and politely knocked because if I barge in then I might die from his traps because he's a paranoid person, heh cute.

I push the door in after a minute and walk in shutting the door behind me, to see him reading again, so I sit down on the floor because he hasn't allowed me to sit on the bed. Unfortunately I don't have the protagonist aura, so it's merely an effort that I'm using to tame him, but this guy is a really black belly paranoid person, if I wasn't so sure that he has no heart to care like freezing cold then I would have suspected he was a yandere.

"You can't go out" he said not even looking up

"But why I just want to play" I said pouting

"Too troublesome" he replied

I sighed and gave up on the idea of forming a harem anyway thinking that this guy needs all of my attention anyway maybe I can just have a hundred flings. Wait I can take pictures and use them as life support, I took out my phone from my pocket and went to the window and started to take pictures of any random handsome guy or even girl not caring about the owner of the room.

I had to take a step back when the doorbell rang from downstairs and my phone storage was full. I left his room locking the door and met Ash at the door with 2 guys and 2 girls beside 4 observing us and guess what; they are part of the percentage that is beautiful... I really have to hug Ash's thigh thoroughly so that I can die from beauty.
