Shop Staff	Thank you for coming~ !
Sakyo	....
Itaru	Huh? Sakyo-san?
Sakyo	...Ah Chigasaki.
Itaru	Sakyo-san, you're leaving already?
Sakyo	Yes, I can't decide what to buy.
Itaru	Heh.. Is that a pocket paperback book?
Sakyo	You....bought games?
Itaru	Of course! I was able to secure my haul.
Sakyo	Keep your spending in moderation.
Itaru	By the way, they released new volume of the light novel I lent to you before. I'll lend it to you when I finished 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	Well, that's important too.
	By the way, the role Sakyo-san is playing on our next collaboration, Kogami, is also a bookworm.
Sakyo	Heh, is that so?
Itaru	Isn't it too unfair? He's well-educated and has well-built physique in addition to that.
	There should be a limit to being too hi-spec, right?
Sakyo	Isn't that what anime characters 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, I'm pretty sure that Kogami is in the light novel. I'm looking forward to Sakyo-san's action too.
	There's no such thing as unmotivated Kogami, you know.
Sakyo	I don't want to hear that from you.
Itaru	Ugh... Please don't rub it on my face.
Sakyo	.....
Itaru	Ah.. Sakyo-san, found ya!
Sakyo	What do you want?
Itaru	Here, take it.
Sakyo	What is this? It's heavy.
Itaru	This is the light novel I'm talking about earlier. I also included novelized version of PSYCHO-PASS Series .
Sakyo	Heh... So they also have novelized version too?
Itaru	It's my personal collection. Please don't sell them without my permission.
Sakyo	Don't just assume that I am ‘that’ obsessed with money!
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 #1 favorite character. Ah, mine is Gin-san.
Sakyo	Is that even important in role-making?
Itaru	Tell me your impressions when you finished reading it!
Sakyo	good grief.

Sakyo	–!
	(This place…)
	(...is not Veludo Way)
	(Waking up in such place. I’m not sure if I’m still in town. Isn’t this place reek of Sci-Fi movie?)
	...Hm?
Sakyo	(Novel? …Why would such thing--)
Kogami	…Is that a paperback book?
Sakyo	!?
	(Kogami Shinya?)
Kogami	These days, almost everything is reliant to electronics. It’s very rare for someone to own such thing.
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 think so too. No matter how much it resembles a paper, an electronic is electronic.
	I wonder if humans in this world would feel that satisfaction again.
Sakyo	…..
Ginoza	Kogami, what are you doing? We have to go.
Sakyo	(Ginoza?)
Kogami	My bad, Gin. I met this interesting guy here.
	If we meet again somewhere, recommend me 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 now.
Azami	I’ll go ahead.
Sakyo	(…So it’s a dream?)
	?
	This novel….
	(I see. I fell asleep while reading the book I borrowed from Chigasaki-san. )
	I didn’t think I would dream in such a classic way.
	Here, I’m done reading it. Thank you.
Itaru	No probs. Did you like it?
Sakyo	It wasn’t bad.
Itaru	That’s great.
	So, Sakyo-san. Did you find your #1 favorite character?
Sakyo	…I wonder.
Itaru	ehh– what’s with that response?
(Sakyo	I don’t have to say it.)
Sakyo	Your “Gin-san” wasn’t bad either.
Itaru	Well of course! – wait, what do you mean?
Sakyo	Who knows.
