We went to three bookstores, and to think they were all sold out...

The book you're looking for releases today, right, Aoyagi? It's amazing how fast they're flying off the shelves.

People have been talking about it for the past month since it's the latest installment in a long-running series. So, it's my fault for not reserving a copy...

And I'm sorry for making you all walk this much. Please go on ahead without me to Weekend Garage and start having lunch.

I'll go about it alone from here.

What? Isn't this when we're supposed to work as a team? We'll find a copy faster if we split up and look!

And I know you're gonna be bothered if you don't get your hands on a copy. As for lunch, we can each grab something along the way.

Oh, then... Let's all go to different bookstores and message each other if there's stock.

Yeah, that sounds like fun!

It'd be like a big scavenger hunt!

Thank you all very much...

I promise to return the favor.
