Store Staff	Thank you for coming~!
Sakyo	....
Itaru	Hm? Sakyo-san?
Sakyo	...Ah Chigasaki.
Itaru	Sakyo-san, you're leaving already?
Sakyo	Yeah. I bought the new book that was released today.
Itaru	Heh... Is that a pocket paperback book?
Sakyo	You....bought games again?
Itaru	Of course! I was able to secure my haul.
Sakyo	Keep it in moderation.
Itaru	By the way, they released a new volume of the light novel I lent to you before. I'll lend it to you when I finish reading it.
Sakyo	I appreciate it.
Itaru	I can't believe Sakyo-san will read that masterpiece. As expected of a bookworm.
Sakyo	It was surprisingly interesting.
Itaru	Glad to hear that.
	Speaking of, did you know that your role in our next collaboration, Kogami, is also a bookworm?
Sakyo	Heh, is that so?
Itaru	He's well-educated and has a well-built physique in addition to that. Isn't it too unfair?
	There should be a limit to being such a catch, right?
Sakyo	Isn't that what anime characters are supposed to be like?
Itaru	There's a lot of different types of anime characters. We have villainous-types, laid-back types, and depressed types.
Sakyo	I can't relate.
Itaru	Anyway, there’s no question that Kogami is a spectacular find. I'm looking forward to Sakyo-san's action.
	There's no such thing as lousy Kogami, you know.
Sakyo	Same applies to you.
Itaru	Ugh... Please stop poking at my sore spot.
Sakyo	.....
Itaru	Ah... Sakyo-san, there you are!
Sakyo	What do you want?
Itaru	Here, take this.
Sakyo	What is this? It's heavy.
Itaru	This is the light novel I'm talking about earlier. I also included a novelized version of PSYCHO-PASS Series.
Sakyo	Heh... So they also have novelized versions?
Itaru	It's my personal collection. Please don't sell them without my permission.
Sakyo	Stop calling people cheapskates.
Itaru	Make sure to read the collection I lent you before returning them.
	The setting is very detailed. I think it is a good reference for understanding your character.
Sakyo	... I'll look into it.
Itaru	Please read it carefully and find your favorite character. Ah, mine is Gino-san.
Sakyo	Is that even necessary for a role study?
Itaru	Tell me your impressions when you finish reading it!
Sakyo	Good grief.

Sakyo	--!
	(This place...)
	(... is not Veludo Way)
	(This place... I woke up in an unknown city, moreover, isn’t this place a reek of Sci-Fi movies?)
	....... Hm?
	(Novel? Could it be...)
Kogami	.... Is that a paperback book?
Sakyo	!?
	(.... Kogami Shinya?)
Kogami	These days, almost everything is reliant on electronics. It's very rare for someone to own items like that.
Sakyo	Y-yeah.
	You can't feel the satisfaction of flipping through pages electronically after all.
Kogami	....
Sakyo	.... Did I say something weird?
Kogami	Not at all. I agree with you. No matter how much it resembles a paper, an electronic is still an electronic.
	I wonder if humans of this world will be able to feel that kind of satisfaction again.
Sakyo	.....
Ginoza	Kogami, what are you doing? We have to go.
Sakyo	(Ginoza....?)
Kogami	My bad, Gino. I met this interesting guy here.
	If we meet again somewhere, recommend some of your books.
Sakyo	..Yeah, you too.
Sakyo	--!
Azami	Oi... Oi! Shithead-Sakyo.
Sakyo	---
Azami	Tch... Don't just sleep around. Omi-san is calling us for lunch.
Sakyo	Yeah... I'm going.
Azami	I'll go ahead.
Sakyo	(...Is it a dream?)
	-------?
	This novel....
	(I see... I fell asleep while reading the book I borrowed from Chigasaki-san. )
	To think I’d dream of something so cliché.
Sakyo	Here, I'm done reading it. Thank you.
Itaru	No problem. Did you like it?
Sakyo	It wasn't bad
Itaru	That's great.
	So, Sakyo-san... Did you find your favorite character?
Sakyo	...I wonder.
Itaru	Ehh-- Don’t give me that.
Sakyo	(...That’s needless to say.)
	Your “Gino-san” wasn't bad either.
Itaru	Well of course! --Wait, what do you mean by that?
Sakyo	Who knows?
