In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

26 Friend in High Places

A fuzzy hairball licked Anne’s face when the sunlight begin to peek at her window. She wakes up to see her demon kitten’s face so close to hers. She squeak and almost fell from her bed.

“Oh, Chikara, you gave me a jump scare.”

The demon kitten doesn’t care, he demands something from the master, and he wants it now. Grumbling at the sight of an empty bowl, Anne rushed into the preserve small box that she bought for Chikara. Inside the preserve box is a small piece of raw meat, one of Chikara’s diets besides the catnip flower’s milk.

She put two pieces of meat in his bowl, and then she looks at her clock on the wall.

“Oh dear, I’m going to be late for breakfast.”

Anne petted her demon kitten several times before she took her towel and rushed inside her bathroom, in less than an hour, Vale will be here to give her the seat number for the Wismushroom. Darla and David were so excited about the prospect of having to sit on the Wismushroom, that they squealed when Anne told them about Vale’s proposition last night.

“So, your boyfriend is going to acquire seats for us?!” Darla enthusiastically embraces Anne and jumps around in the lobby.

Anne got flustered by Darla’s words, “He is not my boyfriend, he is just a friend.”

“Oh, you’re right, he is a man, not even a boy anymore, still you get us an advantage.” Said Darla with a smile.

.....

“Indeed, now let us get some rest, for tomorrow we finally get a taste of the knowledge overflow on Wismushroom.”

Remembering their conversation last night, giving Anne has a smile on her face, Although the written exam will be held for two weeks, her two new friends are so anxious to study. Unlike them, she never thought to exert herself in her study, it’s not because of her confidence, it’s because she doesn’t want to exhaust her brain.

She will be studying for a normal amount of time, this is the strategy that she had done in her old world, the strategy that gained her a double degree in English literature and Pharmacy, also a master of Art. Her wish to sit under the Wismushroom is because of how eager her new friends have a taste of the new sensation in the capital.

She hurries herself to the breakfast room, where Missus Del is in the middle of cleaning the room.

“Oh, Miss, I’m sorry, you’re a bit late for the breakfast.”

She put on a forced smile, Anne is indeed late for breakfast, and now she has to go to the main library with an empty stomach.

“It’s alright Missus Del, I’m going to buy some food on the way to the library.”

She lied, she need to be in the main library in less than an hour, she’s already late as she is, and Anne hates to be late for an appointment. Darla and David already waiting in the lobby, they rushed to the Central Carriage Station and go to the main library. When they arrived at the main library, there was no Vale on the sight, instead, there was another man, waiting while leaning on the pillar of the main library. A tall man, with black hair and golden eyes with a constant smile on his face.

Anne recognizes the fellow everywhere, “Xavier? What are you doing here?”

Xavier turns around, and when he sees Anne, his face lit like a sun that shines above them. He unexpectedly grabs Anne’s body and twirls her in front of people around the area. She screamed while hiding her embarrassment.

Xavier is laughing like a child with Anne who’s flustered in his arms, “Oh, Anne, so nice to see you again! Are you well? All of us are so excited for you to be in the capital.”

“Yes! But please Xavier, put me down please.” Whispered Anne, wiggling in Xavier’s arms.

Realizing how he makes a scene in front of the main library, he put her down and apologizes immediately. The man is full of joy and sunshine, that’s how Anne likes to describe Xavier.

“I... I’m sorry Anne.” Xavier rustled his hair and gave her a bashful smile.

Anne gave him a gracious smile, Anne always appreciates how expressive Xavier is, “It’s fine Xavier, did you happen to see Vale?”

“Ah, that’s why I am here, today, he couldn’t make it because there’s an emergency on the port at Merlinni town.”

Anne remembers Merlinni town, “Merlinni town? Wait, David, isn’t that your hometown?”

David, surprisingly acting calm and shrug it off “Oh yes, it must be one of the sea Kraken, they can handle it.”

Xavier’s frowned when he heard David’s words, “That’s not what I heard, Kraken infestation is already making major damage everywhere, are you sure you can be this calm, young man?”

This is the first time Anne saw a serious expression on Xavier, she tried to interfere before it escalated into an argument.

“Uhm... I hope he is going to be okay, should I worry?” Asked Anne, trying to distract him from David.

It is working, his smile is back and he turns his attention to Anne, “Don’t worry, although it will be hard, Vale is one of the strongest Magi.” Xavier then handed three wooden plates into Anne’s hand, “Here, this is the seat number, you can use the Wismushroom for as long as you need it.”

Darla and David are having the time of their life when they heard David’s explanation for the seat number. Anne could see how Xavier is still a bit distracted by how David is so ignorant about his hometown, he is even more furious when David is more invested in the Wismushroom rather than worrying about what happened in Merlinni town.

Anne gave the two of them their seat number and let them go inside before her.

“I saw many people in my lifetime, but I have never met a man like that friend of yours. He seems similar to those people... You know the heartless.” Muttered Xavier to Anne.

He excused himself and let Anne go inside the library. While Anne begins to step inside the library, with the seat number plate in his hand. She open the door to the special room for the reserved seat and handed her plate to the on-duty librarian.

“Oh, wow, this is a very special seat, your friends already sat inside.”

The librarian seems impressed by Anne’s plate, he even escorted her to her seat, while the other nobles around already gossiping and murmuring. Their seat is indeed a special one, located on the main atrium, with the Wismushroom perfect placement, it is closer to a vast window, and with a luxurious desk and chair with an insignia embroidered at the headrest of the chair. The insignia seems familiar to her.

“Silver pass? What are you doing here?”

Anne turn around to the source of the voice, there was Heirim, with a surprised look staring at her.

The librarian then explained the situation at Heirim, “Lady Heirim, the missus and mister here are granted the seat number by the owner.”

The look on Heirim’s face is filled with anger, Anne could see a flicker of anger in her eyes, but she cover it quickly with a smile.

“Oh, I never know that you befriended the royal family.”

Anne is in for a surprise, “What did you just say? The royal family?”
