Librarian
Kami-niisama!
I made you a cake for a snack!
The Next Day ... Morning
Grumble
Kami-niisama!
Please, wait for me!
Last night was an accident,
I just used too much flour.
In the human world, cakes don't blow up due to too much flour.
You know nothing of this world.
Go develop a little common sense!
Don't make me repeat myself:
Nowadays, partner characters must be intelligent and quirky.
You're the ideal partner then, Kami-sama.
From your perspective!
You are supposed to be the partner!
I went through training!
I studied the human world.
I received an "Excellent" in Japanese History.
I'm a scholar of Japan.
And what was the last thing you learned?
The Black Ships have come!
The Black Ships are here!
The Black Ships!
They're black!
Black!
Ships!
Open your ports.
I'm pretty sure it was something like that.
The library is next to the track.
Go read up on the world.
So
Maijima Academy Library
Our school has everything, doesn't it?
All right, time to study!
Common sense, common sense!
Dictionary of Obsolete Modern Phrases
Slow on the uptake.
Get a clue.
A smash.
I'll start with something easier...
Quiet
So cool!
It's bright red!
Fire engine...
The modern world has things like this!
The fire engine is here!
The fire engine!
It's red!
Red!
I want to learn more about this vehicle!
Let the search begin!
Fire engine, fire engine...
Fire engine...
Fire...
Too many books.
Oh, that's right!
At times like this, one should ask the librarian for help.
Librarian
Excuse me.
Where can I find books like this?
Can't she hear me?
Quiet
Excuse me!
How may I assist you, madam?
Madam?
Dangerous Vigilante
Oh, it's from the book.
How can I help you?
Do any other books talk about fire engines?
Stare
Please come back after school.
After school?
Come back after school?
Please keep it down.
Sorry.
There's...
There's a loose soul in that girl.
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Pigeons chirping.
Want some seeds? Here you go.
Kanon Throws Down the Gauntlet - A game for the PFP
A new game for the PFP.
Kanon Throws Down the Gauntlet.
On sale now!
This way, over here!
The librarian set off my sensor.
Again?
I'm sick of going to the library.
Librarians are common in games.
Since most schools have a library,
and when a character appears in the library,
she will only appear in certain locations,
making it easier to script events.
Development of librarian characters has become very competitive for games with a school setting.
If she isn't a perfect example, I won't even bother.
I wouldn't say she's perfect.
She couldn't even tell me where to find books about fire engines.
Fire engines?
If she's no good, I'll exercise my rights and send a complaint!
To whom?
Sorry to make you wait.
This is every book in the library that mentions fire engines.
A total of 458 books.
These books are all about fire engines.
This book has pictures of fire engines.
This book is a recounting by detective Nezu of an arson.
Our library's index is pretty advanced, isn't it?
I didn't use an index.
This was mostly from memory...
I've read every book in the library.
But I can't say that!
Something like that will just make me seem creepy.
But I already set aside all these books on fire engines!
That's just as creepy.
I should have taken two or three.
Maybe I should ask what kind of fire engine she's interested in.
No, it's too late for that!
What should I do?
She doesn't seem to talk much, does she?
I'm not very good at dealing with people.
But it'll be okay...
As long as I have my books,
I'll be safe in here.
I can live out my life in this castle.
It looks like she'll be another difficult challenge.
What were you even studying, by the way?
Inside and Outside the Big Wall
I love books.
I love this place!
Every book is like a new world.
Every word leads to a new world.
On each shelf, a universe.
A world of boundless imagination.
I can go anywhere from here.
I can be anyone.
I can do anything!
Books, paper and words.
They're ensembles of human creation,
magic spells to send thoughts through time.
Books are art.
Books are culture.
Books are miracles.
Books are eras.
Books are life.
Books are the sun.
Books are songs.
Books are lifetimes.
Books are promises.
Books are the wind.
Books are the ocean.
Books are the stars.
Books are souls.
Books are dreams.
Books are hope.
Books are love!
Books are joy!
Books are passion!
Another day spent with my books.
Time in which I can be myself.
Shiomiya Shiori.
Class 2-C.
Born on December 26th.
Blood type B.
Librarian.
She doesn't talk much.
How will you get close to her?
How would I know?
However, there is one established rule for librarians.
An established rule?
If you listen carefully, you can hear a bookish girl's inner voice.
Bookish girls tend to be quiet,
but they're always engrossed in thought.
The complete opposite of some scatterbrained dummy who's always babbling.
That difference is what makes bookish girls so attractive!
Shy!
Intelligent!
The very definition of a bookish girl!
I get it already!
But how are you supposed to hear her thoughts?
Amateur.
I can hear her thoughts at any time.
Who is he...?
See?
That's a game though.
This capture is impossible then.
Kami-sama!
Quiet
What, really?
Yeah!
First Love
But doesn't that mean...
Want to come to my place and see for yourself?
I wonder what I should do.
How rude!
This is a sacred place of learning, not a place for a lover's rendezvous.
In any case, boys and girls should maintain a respectable distance,
and engage in reserved relationships.
Shiomiya!
Good work!
I appreciate you doing this every day!
It's nothing...
Sorry, but could you take care of this for me?
I need to go to the faculty office for a bit.
Won't you, please?
Okay.
Thanks!
I'll be back with good news!
Books to be disposed of this month
For Disposal
Goodbye, books.
You'll be leaving the library soon.
Some of you will be sent to other libraries.
Others will find themselves in used book stores.
And some will...
A book is paper, nothing more.
Chronicles of wisdom, thrown away without a second thought.
Stupid!
What?
What?!
That's the guy from yesterday.
Did he just save me?
Why?
Oh, he was being nice.
Just being nice, right?
But why would he help me?
No, isn't that normal?
That's right...
I need to thank him!
Should I just say it normally?
Casually, nonchalantly...
But we met yesterday, so should I thank him for yesterday?
Let me think this through.
"Hi."
"We met yesterday, right?"
Wait, wait, wait!
He might not remember me!
It's hopeless!
I'll lose my chance if I take my time!
Principles of Economics
I need to say something quickly!
I have to thank him!
Principles of Economics
Quickly, quickly!
Th—
Thankonomics.

Inside of Me...
There's no such thing as unrequited love in a game.
Whether they be childhood friends, celebrities,
student council presidents, stepsisters,
goddesses, angels, or demons,
once you hit the right flags, you're set.
An exception... could this be true love?
No, it's just a bug, yeah.
I finished the cake, Kami-niisama!
