“Hah, by the way Librarian?”
Alfian was silent for a moment, trying to weigh Janetta's request.
“I mean, I call Librarian here?’
Janetta nodded her head in confidence.
“If anything is the same with you, mr. Nathanael who is responsible” Janetta said flatly. Nathanael looked at Janetta in disbelief when she heard that.
“Why suddenly so I'm in charge?” nathanael Protest.
“I mean... we can do similar methods to what Eric and mr. Nathanael did the other day.” Janetta explained.
“Emangnya Eric want to go to that place again?” Alfian turned his head towards eric, the young man nodded his head doubtfully. “lo lo? Eric even nods his head in doubt!”
“Librarian will not harm you. As long as you are not in danger, you will only be in Archein without going deeper into Malforta”
“Wait waiting, I'm dizzy. What is archein? What is malforta?” eric did not understand.
“Archein protected metaphorical field named Loop is the core space in the human subconscious. It contains everything that makes up your soul. Malforta is a place within the Archein, which serves as the last self-defense mechanism when your soul is threatened. It's a term that refers to everything in the world you enter when it comes to the human subconscious.” Janetta explained. “Alfian, please go to Archein, and call Librarian kari” Janetta give instructions.
Alfian fell silent, this time staring straight at Janetta. The young man's gaze turned blank for a few seconds, before finally returning to focus.
“Seenak her call me here, really not polite” said Alfian with a small child-like speech intonation.
“Librarian, what is you?”
Alfian crossed his legs, and raised his chin.
“True, it's me. Librarian”
The young man looked around.
“What is meeting here? You all look familiar. Some of you I've met on the outside of Loop.” Her sweeping eyes stopped when she found Eric in the room. “and you were the one who walked into Archein the other day”
Ivana who knew Alfian for a long time seemed surprised by Alfian's sudden gesture change looking like an arrogant little boy. Of course because it's not the real Alfian.
“What kind of consequences?” ask Nathanael to worry.
“You will know after you start asking questions”
Alfian folded his hands, and leaned his body onto the sofa.
“Come, please start asking questions. I'll answer any questions that come out of your mouth”
“Alright, I'll start asking questions” Janetta seemed to say that without the slightest hesitation.
“Because Eric has met you at Alfian's Archein, I'm sure a little bit you've known this kid” Janetta pointed at Eric who was standing not far from where he was sitting.
“Eric Gildereich? Well.. I was also surprised when met with his” Librarian commented. “get into the subconscious of others, pass the loop, and enter into Archein. Even further than that.. open Malforta.”.
“The ability he has is... It's just Pseudo-Retrocognition right? It was just an ability that resembled a vision to the past. Eric's real ability, isn't that right?”
The Librarian who was taking over Alfian's consciousness smiled and nodded his head.
“So, what exactly is Eric's ability?”

Inside the Archein that resembled the ruins of the old cathedral, Alfian sat alone atop a coffin.In a world without day and night, a gray cloud hung in the sky. The flash of light accompanied by the rumbling sound was earthy to each other. It's a bad sign.
“Bakal no storm” Alfian speaks to himself.
Suddenly the wind blew, sheets of paper entered the cathedral from a hole in the wall that seemed to be a worn out window.
“Sialan..”.
The young man laughed bitterly.
