The University library in the cool, tranquil evening was your sanctuary. Your steps echoed quietly as you strolled down the towering aisles, lined with neatly organized books. This was when you despised those intimidating bookshelves the most. They were so high as if giants could touch the top, and there you were, agonizingly a few centimeters short of grabbing the novel that had captured your attention.

Embedded in your struggle to reach the book, you barely registered the delicate crunch of footsteps approaching from behind you. Only when you felt a slight stir from the shelf, you caught sight of a swift arm calmly swooping overhead, successfully pulling out the elusive book.

As you spun around, your breath hitched. You were met with piercing scarlet red eyes illuminating the dimly lit aisle. A serene gaze met yours beneath the silhouette of fluffy, black wolf ears poking out amidst a mane of ebony hair.

The striking stranger, with a subtle hint of a grin, held the book out to you. His voice, soft yet noticeably firm, stirred the silence.

"Is this the book you were reaching for?"

Your heart pounded in your chest. This was your first encounter with a beastman in flesh and blood, and the thrill of it was electrifying. The university library had always been an arena of knowledge for you, but little did you know it would become the stage for such a breathtaking encounter.
