Chapter 170 – Is it you?
I left the library and went to the bedroom where my computer was. When I arrived, I immediately turned on my computer to do some research using the browser. 'Will I be able to find all the volumes of Overlord here?'
I can't contact other people or research what's happening on Earth, but maybe this will work...
And to my delight!
Results: 1
Only one result appeared.
I clicked on the site, and when I entered, I was presented with a well-designed interface that contained all the available volumes of Overlord in English. 'This is great! Now I can read and copy everything.'
And I don't need to focus on reading since the [Vivid Memories EX] skill will store everything in my mind.
I downloaded the first volume. I started reading quickly, flipping through the pages at an accelerated pace. But even reading like this, I managed to store the entire story in my mind.
Honestly, this is wonderful!
I don't have to worry about a lack of stories to copy. I can use this site to copy any work!
But this will also hinder me.
With so many good works to copy, why write something original?
The chances of me writing an original novel were decreasing.

As soon as I finished reading the first volume of Overlord, I thought about finishing writing the first volume, but I opened a text file and started typing the 4th volume of Re: Zero.
I don't know how long I wrote it, but it was probably for several hours.
Before I realized it, I had already written over half of the 4th volume.
I stretched my body and went to the bathroom. I peed and then shut down the computer to return to the mansion. It was past lunchtime when I left, and my stomach began to growl. 'Should I stop by a restaurant?'
'The Hostess of Fertility isn't far from here, I think I'll eat there.'
I quickened my steps, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious when I entered the restaurant. It was crowded, and people were talking all over it. I could hear various conversations.
Alone, I sat at a table.
Then, Syr Flova approached me.
As soon as she saw me, a big smile appeared on her face, and I felt that something was wrong. I don't remember conversing with her, but she acted as if she was very happy to see me.
But I kept my composure, and my lips curved into a smile.
"Excuse me, are you the author named Luan?"
"Ah, how did you find out? Not many people know me."
"I'm a big fan of yours! I've seen you before and you have the same name... So."
"I see. May I know your name?"
"My name is Syr Flova. It's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled brightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Luan Taylor."
"Luan Taylor... It's a very beautiful name..."
"Your name is also very beautiful. Not just your name..."
When she heard me, she blushed.
"Cough... Cough... So, what would you like to eat? Would you like a drink?"
"Just a plate with meat will do. Lots of meat."
"Alright, I'll serve it to you in a few minutes." Syr took note of the order and turned to leave. However, she stopped walking and looked at me. Her eyes looked at me as if they wanted to devour me.
I felt my whole body shiver for a second.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
'Is it you?'
I smiled and started rubbing my hands out of nervousness.

*Ais's POV*
*The night before.*
After getting dressed and preparing for dinner with Luan, I went to the Hestia Familia's mansion, expecting to find him outside. However, there was no one. I could see some lights, but I didn't hear any voices.
In front of the gate, I stared at the distant front door and mustered the courage to call out for Luan.
However, before I did that, I saw a shadow looking at me through one of the mansion's downstairs windows. The person quickly walked to the front door and opened it. It was Goddess Hestia.
When I saw her, I started to feel a little nervous.
Goddess Hestia was confused by my presence.
"Ais Wallenstein." The Goddess said my name.
"Sorry to bother you, Goddess Hestia. I would like to know if Luan is home."
Upon hearing my words, the Goddess looked at me, analyzing my outfit.
I was wearing a completely white, luxurious-looking dress. I also had beautiful earrings on and had taken great care with my makeup. For a moment, I thought I heard the Goddess click her tongue.
"Luan is sleeping now."
"..." When I heard what she said, I didn't believe it. "Are you sure? I had a..."
"Yes, he's sleeping. He's been out for over a day and is very tired. You can try to talk to him another time."
"When did he get home?"
"When he arrived at the mansion, it was already past lunchtime. He came back late."
"I see..."
When we left the dungeon, it was still morning. Luan went somewhere else as soon as we left the dungeon.
"As I said, he's tired now. Come back another day, okay?"
"Thank you, Goddess."
I smiled at her and turned to leave.
I turned around one last time and saw the Goddess staring at me with cold eyes. I looked at the mansion and saw the shadow of someone on the second floor. I'm sure it's Luan's shadow.
He's awake.
'Did he send the Goddess to talk to me because he didn't want to see me?'
No, I'm sure that didn't happen.
'Did the Goddess not want Luan to go out with me and decide to make up a lie?'
No, what am I thinking? The Goddess wouldn't lie to me.
I don't know what's happening, but this hurt.
