"I think it might be interesting to have a central library that connects to several smaller branches. Each of the Clans could have their own series of them," she said. "A larger one can have more facilities to create knowledge, rather than just storing what exists."

"Oh. I definitely see the appeal and the practicality of a central hub. Just what we should make sure the system can still work if it gets cut off from the network for any reason. Maybe by enforcing that at least one copy of any book stored in one of the central libraries is also available in one of the smaller ones, so we can copy it back should anything happen to the original."

"Making sure we have enough copies is going to be almost as big a task as the architectural work... Maybe bigger."

"When has it ever been easy?

It won't be done in a day sure. But it will be built to last.

I think our Crab friends who carved a city out of a mountain are on the right track there. Make things that can sustain the test of time even if that requires far much work in the now."

"I think I'd like style notes from all of the Clans, but... ultimately, it's up to what the Emperor requests."

"Indeed.

Though you're easily in the top ten of humans who have the most influence upon him, in the end all his decisions are his and his alone."

Kinyoubi nodded in agreement. "Though I'm sure he would like to have those style notes to consider. He seems like he appreciates multiple perspectives on any issue."

"Well. There's a reason I follow him."

Sora grinned.

"Besides the fact that he put up with my antics."

When next Sora looks in Kinyôbi's direction, she is no longer there. Ayumu is gone as well, as is the tent surrounding them. Instead there are walls. Distant walls of white and brown, towering over him.

Except... the white is not paint, but paper. Sheaf after sheaf of paper, scrolls stacked 10, 20, 50 feet high or higher, all straining to be contained by the meager wooden shelves that house them. The room itself is larger even than the camp, and from where he sits he sees halls branching off from the central room, filled with more of the same.

The smell of parchment and ink is thick in Sora's nose as reality wavers back into place.

Sora blinked.

Beautiful. Beautiful. All of it, saved for... everyone. For the future.

He started laughing.

"Considering how some of them would feel about this idea, you'll probably not lack for their help," she noted with a chuckle.

"Hey, Shinsei was grumbling earlier about Fukurokujin being quite involved with mortal affairs. Maybe they'll be kind enough to drop by and copy a few books in person. Would make for the kind of stories Saruko likes to tell."

"If Fukurokujin does put in an appearance, I just hope he's was happy with the result. The last thing I need is another divinity I'm on less than stellar terms with."
