| Tsumugi | Excuse me… are you searching for something? |
 |
| Man | Ehh? |
| Tsumugi | Ah, sorry for coming up out of the blue. It seemed like you were searching really hard for something, so I was wondering if there was a book you had your sights set on. |
| Man | Ahh, are you a member of the library staff? |
| Tsumugi | Yes. Or rather, I’m just here to help out for the day… |
| Man | Haha, it’s little embarrassing that it appears you saw me so frantic. |
| It’s as you guessed. The truth is, there’s a book I’m looking for. |
| It’s a book I read when I was a child, but I can’t recall the title. |
| Tsumugi | Oh, really… |
| By the way, what was it about? |
| Man | The story was set in a magical academy. |
| Tsumugi | A magical academy… |
| Man | I’m sorry. There’s tons of books that take place in a magical academy, aren’t there? |
| Tsumugi | Actually… is it a story about a young boy who enrolls in a magical academy? |
| There’s an emblem on the cover which leaves a lasting impression… |
| Man | Yes, that’s exactly it! |
| Do you know what I’m talking about? |
| Tsumugi | Yes. If it’s that book, then I saw it around this area. |
| It should be this way… |
| Hm? I thought it was here, but… |
| Man | Could it be that it’s been purchased by another person? |
| Tsumugi | I’ll check with someone else, just to be sure. |
| Taichi | Tsumugi-san, is something up? |
| Tsumugi | Ah, Taichi-kun. |
| Impeccable timing. |
| This gentleman here is looking for a book with the emblem of a magical academy on the cover. We were wondering, have you seen it? |
| Taichi | Ah! If it’s that book, then I saw someone else buy it earlier…! |
| Man | Ahh… so that really was the case. |
| Tsumugi | I apologize I got your hopes up… |
| …Wait, we have another copy! |
| Um, do you still have time? |
| Man | Yes, I’m fine. |
| Tsumugi | Thank goodness…! I will be right back, so please wait. |
| Can I leave this spot to you for a second, Taichi-kun? |
| Taichi | No problem! |
| |
| Tsumugi | Um, it’s around here… |
| Banri | Tsumugi-san. |
| Is it ‘bout time to switch? |
 |
| Tsumugi | Ah, no. That’s not it… |
| Say, the books that everyone are going to recommend were placed over here, right? |
| Banri | If you’re lookin’ for those, then they’re here, not there. |
| Look. |
| Tsumugi | Thank you, Banri-kun! |
| Alright, see you again later. |
| *runs off* |
| Yuki | What’s he off to in such a rush? |
| And isn’t that the book that Tsumugi was planning to introduce? |
| That’s coming up soon. Is it alright? |
| Banri | I guess some situation came up. Well, if it’s Tsumugi-san, then it’ll be fine. |
| |
| Tsumugi | I’m sorry for the wait…! |
| This is the book, right? |
 |
| Man | Yes, that’s it! |
| But where in the world it you get it from…? |
| Tsumugi | So you see, I am going to introduce this book as part of the festivities for the antique book fair. |
| Since I’m planning to use this book, we had another copy set aside. |
| Man | I see. |
| So you mean this one’s not for sale…? |
| Tsumugi | It’s not for sale, but after our introductions, we plan to give it away as a gift to someone who wants it. |
| However, if the applicants overlap, then we’ll have to draw an impartial lottery… |
| Man | Please don’t look so apologetic. You went out of your way to find this for me. Just knowing that there’s another copy is enough for me. |
| I’m looking forward to the event you’re going to introduce the book in. |
| Tsumugi | Thank you very much! |
| I’ll be waiting. |
| …Phew. |
| Taichi | You really remembered it, huh~? |
| That customer looked happy that you were able to identify which book it was! |
| Tsumugi | Right. |
| I’m glad that it came back to me too. |
| Thank you for taking care of that customer while I was gone, Taichi-kun. |
| Taichi | Don’t mention it! |
