Nice work, everyone!
See you all next time!
Alright, we finally got to do a debrief for our third event, so let's head over to SEKAI.
Yeah. I'm sure Len and the others are dying to hear how it went.
Sorry, everyone...
Please go on ahead without me. There's somewhere I'd like to stop by first.
Where are you...? Ohh... That new book, right?
Oh, that's right...!
Now that our event's over, you can finally get it.
Oh, um... I'm really sorry about what happened the other day, Toya! I didn't know that you were holding off on getting it...
Oh, Toya! It looks like the new mystery novel you were talking about just came out! I saw a bunch of copies in the bookstore on the way home!
It sounds really good.
They even talked about it on TV earlier!
No, that's okay.
Yes, there were multiple times when I pictured the book on display in a store.
I even went out of my way to avoid the bookstore you mentioned, Shiraishi, since it's on my way to school.
Wow...
However, I realized that I'd forget about all that whenever we began practicing.
So, if something like this happens again in the future, I should be able to apply what I learned from this experience.
Haha. That's very admirable of you, Aoyagi...
I feel really terrible...
I think I should go with Toya to ensure that he's able to buy a copy of this book...
Then, I'll head over to SEKAI first. I'll let Len and Rin know that...
<Tell Len and me what?>
Whoa! Don't jump out like that!
<Don't forget about me♪>
<We figured that your guys' practice would be over right about now, so we came to check!>
<Anyway, what were you talking about just now?>
...which is why I intend to head over to the bookstore first.
<Oh, you finally get to buy that book!
Thank goodness.>
Yes, I'm thankful as well.
<The bookstore? That sounds fun!
They have music magazines and stuff, right?>
<Mind if we tag along?>
I don't mind, but you'll have to stay hidden as best you can. Would that be okay with all of you?
<Of course!>
*Sigh*
Well, this defeats the purpose of going over to SEKAI...
Hehe. We can all visit the bookstore together.
Okay.
<Okay, we should be good here.
Toya, which book are you after?>
It should be right by the entrance...
Ah, here it is!
Thank goodness they have it!
But it's been a while now since it released. I'm sort of amazed to see that they still have it on display like this.
<Yeah, they have tons of copies all stacked up!>
<Let me take a... Oh, look!
It's ranked #1 for something!>
Yes, for new releases.
To be fair, this author always delivers, so I'm very much looking forward to reading this.
If you got what you need, take it up to the register. We'll be browsing in the meantime.
Okay.
Toya, over here!
Do you have it?
Yes, I got it.
Hm? Where's Akito...?
<Rin and Len were badgering him about... Oh, that must be them.>
<Thanks for buying us that magazine, Akito!>
All good. The CD it comes with caught my interest.
You also bought something, Akito?
A magazine, not a book.
Anyway, now that we're done here, let's head over to SEKAI.
Sure.
<Wait, but... Toya, don't you want to read your new book?>
<Your wait is over, no?
And the others can tell us all about your event.>
No, I plan to keep the promise I made.
In any case, I have the book now. I have tomorrow off, so I can just read it at my own leisure then.
<Haha. Oh, Toya, you never change...>
Yeah! Anyway, let's go!
Okay.
Yeah!
