But how could I get the Library Administrator to come to me?
There was a way. Since the Administrator was responsible for managing the Library, if he damaged the books, the Library Administrator would naturally come to stop him.
But the Library's rules included [Do not damage any books].
That method would not work.
Calling out without anyone to address in the Library would not work either. That could very well be considered "making noise."
What should I do? Is there any other way?
Xu Tingfang grew increasingly anxious. The longer she lingered here, the more she felt something was wrong, though she could not say exactly what.
It was like... an invisible countdown was ticking away.
Xu Tingfang took two deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down a little.
To get the Administrator to come to him, the only approach he could think of offhand was to attract their attention by causing trouble.
But since the roles of Borrower and Administrator both existed, there had to be some way to attract only the Administrator, without attracting the Borrowers.
Xu Tingfang vaguely grasped something.
The two roles were different. What kind of behavior would attract only the Administrator's attention?
She looked toward the shelves, her eyes growing brighter.
I have a way...
Even if he could not make noise or damage the books, there was still a way to get the Administrator to come directly to him.
That was... to scramble the books' original positions!
A Library Administrator's duties included keeping the books in their original places.
As long as he mixed up all the books on this tier of shelves, putting them in random places, the Administrator would definitely come over once they noticed!
The more Xu Tingfang thought about it, the more certain he felt it would work.
