As soon as she arrived at the request board, she scanned all the papers pinned to it, the sheets slowly moving from side to side because of the breeze that blew gently. Tapping the edge of the board lightly with her nails, she wondered which would be the best to take as her first ever request in Capital Crocus. Then her eyes rested upon a crisp sheet that seemed to have been added to the request board recently. She immediately took it off, thinking that if she thought she was incapable of handling the objective written, she would just pin it back. But after reading the details of the job, she decided to take it. It was a relatively easy request, and she just needed to get to the library, find the book and translate the note. “Easy,” she mumbled to herself in satisfaction and folded the paper, tucking it into the back pocket of her jeans and headed for the library. It was not too far away from the inn area as well as the request board, so walking was the method of travel. Mei tried to remember the way and everything, asking around to make sure she was going to the right place. Everyone told her that when she saw the library, she would know that she was there. She was full of determination and confidence that she could finish this job. Who could not? As long as they knew how to read and concentrate, it was a pretty easy job. So she was on her way to the library.

She blew the dust off the book as soon as she placed it on the table, putting the little note beside it. She then started to flip the pages of the book, trying hard to find the symbols written on the note as fast as she could. She did not want to waste too much time on this job especially because it was supposed to be pretty easy. It was ranked D after all. There were a lot of people in the library that day. Probably not because it was a specific day, but because it was a Crocus Library and those were usually bigger and had more visitors than libraries in her old town Orchidia. She liked how there were a lot of people, but it was surprising to her how silent it was even though there was quite a number of people here. It was a great thing, and she appreciated it. The translation took her around an hour and a half, not because she was slow but because the dictionary was freaking huge and she had to flip each and every one if its five thousand pages (a little exaggeration there) to make sure she did not miss a single one of those Valan Runic words. So after the hour and a half, she got up to put the book back on its shelf and jerked her head to the left and to the right, producing loud cracking noises that made her sigh in satisfaction. She then gave the librarian the translated note and headed back to her inn. Although it was just an old grocery list in the end, she hoped that Luciel found good use for it.
