Tsumugi | I’m sorry I’m late for the leader’s meeting. |
| My part-time tutoring job went a little bit over. |
Banri | Nah, it’s fine. Director-chan and Tenma aren’t here yet either. |
Sakuya | It looks like those two will still take a tad longer, so while we were waiting, Banri-kun and I were talking about the antique book fair that’s fast approaching. |
|
Tsumugi | I see. And you two just happen to be participating members. |
Sakuya | That’s right. We were discussing which book we’re going to recommend… have you already chosen one, Tsumugi-san? |
Tsumugi | The thing is… I had my sights set on a book from the very beginning, but I’m still considering whether I’ll really use that one. |
Sakuya | Are you torn over other ones? |
Tsumugi | Just a little. |
| Have you two decided already? |
Banri | Seein’ as Taichi really wanted to use a manga and Director-chan gave that book an okay, I was thinkin’ of choosing a vintage clothing magazine. |
| I never expected that magazine would legit be on the list for the antique book fair though. |
Sakuya | A vintage clothing magazine sounds just like Banri-kun, doesn’t it? |
Tsumugi | Fufu, I agree. |
| Have you decided as well, Sakuya-kun? |
Sakuya | Actually, I also recently rediscovered a nostalgic book, just like you. |
Tsumugi | I assume you’re going to introduce that book then? |
Sakuya | No. It’s a picture book, and rather than recommending it, I think I’m just biased because of my own memories… |
| So I’m thinking of introducing an interesting novella I read back when I was a student. |
Tsumugi | I see. Just like that, it seems everyone has naturally settled on titles from different genres. |
Banri | Sounds like it from what I’m hearin’ from the other guys. |
Sakuya | I can’t wait for everyone’s book introductions! |
| |
Tsumugi | Hm, Taichi-kun? |
Taichi | Tsumugi-san! |
| Ah, my bad. |
| I accidentally raised my voice… |
|
Tsumugi | Fufu, you have to be mindful in a library. |
| By the way, what are you up to today? |
Taichi | The truth is, I’ve kinda gotten into studying at the library since that first time, so I’ve been dropping by here once a while. |
Tsumugi | Oh, I see. |
Taichi | What’re you doing here, Tsumugi-san? |
Tsumugi | I’m thinking of re-evaluating the book I’m going to recommend at the antique book fair. |
Taichi | Huh? |
| Weren’t you already set on one though? |
| Back then, you said you found a book that brought back memories and so you wanted to participate in the upcoming event, right? |
Tsumugi | Yes, at that time, I was considering using that book I had read a long time ago. |
| But then I wondered if it was alright to simply choose it without having a look at any other books |
Taichi | Mmm… but you thought that book was good, right? |
Tsumugi | Yeah. |
| I remembered I really did like it after re-reading it. |
Taichi | Y’know, I think that’s more than enough reason to choose it. |
| The fact that you liked that book is definitely what’s important! |
Tsumugi | Taichi-kun… |
Taichi | Ah, but of course I totally get how you feel wanting to compare lots of different books and I think that’s fine too…! |
Tsumugi | Fufu, I see. |
| Just the fact that I like it is enough reason to choose it… |
| I have to say I agree with you. |
| I suppose I was worrying over something strange. |
