****(POV)

Common I need to focus! As I change my clothes in a small room in the back, my hands are shaking. This whole thing is unbelievable.

I should have figured there was something up when it showed it could read and talk. This creature is one that is extremely powerful. I have grown up reading about various things.

Of course, I know about unicorns. They only show up around people that are worthy. It is safe to say that anyone that manages to get one as a travel companion is champion level. This is insane. Such a powerhouse casually interacted with me earlier.

I was too blind to even realize it! All my life I have hoped to witness all that I was reading as only legends. Yet now that my dream is coming true, I am not even able to handle it.

Only the pressure it released was soul-crushing. ¸ The only reason I am still alive being because it did not deign to kill me.

Still, there is something wrong here. Completely wrong. Unicorns are pure creatures. How is that one so violent and threatening?!

Meanwhile, her master is running around in the humblest manner there is. Him not having any potential to be a tamer? Bull-fucking-shit!

If he doesn't have any potential no one fucking does! Also, what was that about him destroying a dragon? I thought he might be bragging a bit earlier, but now I believe. The way he nonchalantly said it too. This is all surreal.

Now I need to do my job well if I don't want to disappear from this earth. I can't believe this moment of life and death will depend all on my librarian abilities. What would my father say if he knew? It just happens that he's out of town for some reason too.

I may not look like much, but this place is my domain. I know every nook and cranny of it. Information on how to get closer to a human was it? I'm not sure if it's asking for how to make a friend or something more….

I better go the extra mile at the start. There won't be any denying that I did my best. The good thing is that I am dealing with a unicorn that is relatively new to literature I believe. I need something to placate her. Something that she will read and read without stopping.

I know! I find the cheesiest and most entertaining romance story there is in the entire library. It is about a princess that gets turned into a frog for annoying a witch. She can only be transformed back from true love from her destined one.

If you ask me that type of story is extremely cheesy and boring. However, it is super effective against newcomers! After all, they won't realize how cliché the whole thing as they haven't seen the same trope used over and over.

Hum, maybe I need something else. Something more practical too.

Let's get a copy of how to develop an emotional link with your target. To be honest it's meant to be used for beast tamers. With things like feed it good food, make sure you accompany it on walks for exercise and stuff like that.

I guess that could work on humans too in a way. Kinda? I take a minute to calm myself. I steady my breathing and slowly walk toward the "donkey."

"Here you are these should help. If you wish to browse something else just tell me."

There goes nothing. Hopefully, it won't get mad and destroy this place whole. I am sure it could perfectly. Perhaps the city while it is at it.

I see it looking at the title frowning a bit. I hope the frog part wasn't too much. After all, comparing a unicorn to a frog would be sacrilege. Please start reading already. It does!

Then time passes. The unicorn keeps reading all the while. Does that mean I am safe from harm?

I draw a breath. How the hell did the most stressful situation of my life happen in this quiet place?

Right now I am getting extremely curious about her owner. Why would he hide his power? Is he simply that humble? Does he have some sort of hidden agenda?

How can a city like ours have so many undercurrents? I heard that even recently there were claims of a king slime showing up. It was nothing but a rumor and was quickly squashed. Nonetheless, this begs to question what is happening.

Time flies by it is now closing time. A guard comes in and sees the unicorn reading. I nod at him and he understands my meaning. He leaves right away. I will skin alive whoever tries to anger it.

I then realize that I might have made a mistake. The book I recommended is a bit fantastical and over the top. The kind that has almost been banned for being a bad influence on the youths. Giving them dreams of romance and adventure.

Now such a powerhouse is devouring it page by page. How does it even turn pages without hands? Oh well, everything should be fine. Even if she goes crazy who will be able to trace this to me haha.

The guards on duty? They should know better.

The bystanders? This donkey is already getting popular at the tamer's guild. Just one more out-of-the-norm point to add to the list.

Now that we are closing no one will see this scene. I can almost see the shadow of myself there. Reading for hours and hours. What is sleep? Can it be eaten?

Just a few more chapters. Just a few more…. oh look it's daytime and the sun is rising. This continues until the dead of the night. Finally, she puts down the novel.

"You have done well human. With this newfound knowledge, I will be unstoppable!"

Wow, talk about over-exaggerated praise!

"Happy to help."

The unicorn leaves chuckling to herself. I faintly heart something about making someone hers for sure and beating some rank 8 dumbass to her own game.

The last part was a mistake, right?! Are there even rank 8 that exists?!

Also, should I tell this proudly cackling unicorn that this novel was all fiction?

Then again, better not anger her. What's the worst that could happen anyway?
