Yotsuba!&..

Characters: Yotsuba Koiwai and you!
Setting: The nineteenth floor on June 19th.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you!
Summary: After getting a note from Enoch, Yotsuba decides to search the library for more treasure: information about 'romeance'.
Warnings: None so far!

Yotsuba was always happy to get mail, especially from good friends..but her recent letter inspired her to search the library, since it seemed like it was a huuge beach where seashells and other cool things hid. So, after putting the letter in her pocket, Yotsuba ran down the stairs, careful to avoid any monsters she saw. While she was wearing her sling and sash-pouch, it was still best to avoid any trouble. When she saw the first elevator she found, she pressed the call button and waited, singing to herself to pass the time.

When she finally got onto the elevator, arrived at the meadow, and dashed into the nineteenth floor, her eyes got wide, and she couldn't help but cry out to herself. "There are a lot of gems here! They're really colurful!" Nonfiction books, of course, still looked quite nice, especially to a young child. While Yotsuba was looking for a book to explain 'romentic love', she wasn't the best reader, which resulted in her pulling the first book she found off the shelf and expecting it to have all the answers..when it was just a thin book on psychology.

As Yotsuba tried to read it, her face scrunched up a she tried to make sense of what she was reading. "F..Fruied was..de..deflunked by modern.." After trying to say 'psychologists' and not getting it, Yotsuba glared at the words, as if they were the ones responsible for not having what she was looking for. "That doesn't sound nice!! This isn't a good gem!" Yotsuba closed the book and put it back on the shelf-not in the same spot she had found it in-and kept wandering around, hoping she could find something about what she was looking for.

And since Yotsuba didn't quite know about the differences between human and angel biology yet, she looked puzzled at that comment. "Don't Angels have to too?!"

"No. Angels don't have to do many things humans have to in order to live. However, because of that there is a lot that is a mystery to us since we can't experience it."

"Really?! We must be pretty..mys..mysterias to you too! It's good that we can find out about each other here!"

"Humans are mysterious in every way to us. The things they do, the way they feel... But that's what makes them so fascinating at the same time."

"It makes it exciting for everyone to learn about each other! It's good that this place can help!"

"At least in some regards this place has its good sides."

"It does!"

..Since they had been walking for quite some time, they would probably be coming across the library soon. The moment they did so, Yotsuba would smile and point to it.

"Like the library! It has lots of nice gems!"

The archangel laughs at her excitement. Yotsuba is the first child he met who didn't seem to be too affected by the events of this place.

"It does have lots of gems."

Oh, she had been affected..but she was so chipper that she kept on holding people to their promises and thinking that it would turn out alright in the end. Nothing could really knock her down for the long run.

"Maybe this one will have one about romeance!"

Then she is good at not showing it. At times Lucifel had difficulties with not showing that there were things that distressed him. Even more so because all of this was just new to him and he never had to face such obstacles before.

"It should have a few at least."

Most of this was new to Yotsuba too..but some of it was actually pretty good and fun, in her opinion, even if there was a lot of scary things to worry about. Grown-ups like Lucifel and Diarmuid would help make sure that everything turned out alright in the end.

"Yay! Where?! Do you know?"

"I don't be we have time to find out, don't we?"

And with Yotsuba sitting on his shoulders she could probably see the books he wouldn't be able to look at.

"We do! It'll be fun!"

And with that, Yotsuba started to look around at the different books on the shelves, her hands pressing even harder on the book that was on Lucifel's head. While she saw a lot of cool and interesting books, she was eventually drawn to one thin volume.

"The little..millmaid. What's a millmaid?" She had been trying to say 'mermaid', but had messed up, for better or worse.

"..." That had him kind of confused. Millmaid? Milkmaid? It was probably better if he took a look at him himself.

"Would you show me that one?"

"Sure!"

Keeping one hand on the book on Lucifel's head, Yotsuba leaned out to the left and, with one hand, managed to grab the blue book that had gotten her attention. With that achieved, she would then sit back down again and put the book right in front of Lucifel's face.

"Here ya go! Yotsuba got it!"

"Thanks."

Taking the book from Yotsuba then he read the title silently and smiled to himself. So it actually is The Little Mermaid she was talking about.

"Yotsuba, that's read as mermaid, not millmaid. A mermaid is a girl with a fishtail instead of legs and lives underwater."

And Yotsuba would just jump from the fact that she had read the word wrong and to the part that mermaids sounded really awesome, since..that was the part she was more interested in.

"Really?! That's awesome! Mermaids would be able to swim all the time then!"

Mermaids weren't bad, but this mermaid's story might even upset a cheerful girl like Yotsuba...

"Yeah, but they can never walk ashore."

It depended upon which ending this book had. If it had the ending with the daughters of the air, it would cheer her up. If it had the ending where the mermaid just turned to sea foam, she would be a little sad.

"Oh..but people can't live underwater either, so it's okay! It's fair!"

They wouldn't know until they checked it. Lucifel knew of both versions. And the Disney one.

"That's true.

Yotsuba didn't know any version, for better or worse. Or about Disney.

"Can you read it to me?!" For the moment, Yotsuba's mind had wandered away from her main goal.

"... Sure, why not." They should look for a place to sit at and read the book to her. However, he wasn't sure if she would sit down somewhere else or remain where she is.

Yotsuba is lucky that he likes to tell tales.

If Lucifel wanted a place to sit, that was fine..but Yotsuba would probably crawl down to his lap so that she could see the book too, even though she wouldn't be able to read most of it.

"Yay!~ This'll be fun!"

Yotsuba really was lucky in that regard..but she wasn't expecting how tragic this tale could be.

Well, better than have her sit on his shoulders while she's resting a book on his head. It's mostly the book part that upsets him. If the book had pictures she could look at these.

"We will see." He said with a chuckle and took a seat as soon as he had found one.

Sadly, Yotsuba didn't see what the book held in it, but it was probably the type of book that didn't have any pictures.

When Lucifel sat down, Yotsuba quickly took the book off the Angel's head and, quickly tumbled down onto his lap, holding the previous book in hers.

"We will! Hurry and read it, Luci!"

...Yes, she had just made a nickname for the Archangel.
