Librarian
Librarian's Journal Sunny Shiomiya Shiori I'm striving for a library that everyone can use.
Divine Brother!
I made a cake for you to snack on!
The Next Day ... Morning
Grumble
Divine Brother!
Please wait for me!
Last night was just an accident.
I used too much flour...
In the human world,
cakes don't blow up because there's too much flour!
You know nothing about this world.
Go and get some common sense!
Don't make me repeat myself.
Nowadays, partner characters
are required to be intelligent and idiosyncratic.
That makes you the ideal partner.
From your perspective!
You're supposed to be the partner!
I went through training!
I studied about the human world.
I received an "Excellent" in Japanese History.
I'm a scholar of Japan.
Uh-huh...
And what was the last thing you learned?
Huh?
Th-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.
There's a library next to the track.
Go there, and read up about this world.
So...
Maijima Academy Library
Our school has everything.
Okay!
Time to study!
Common sense! Common sense!
No Running in the Library!

Noob.
Get a clue.
Hip with the kids.
I-I'll start with something easier...
Quiet
Fire Engine
Saves people in trouble!
Extends up to 30 meters!
S-So cool!
It's bright red!
Vehicles on the Job
Fire engine...
This is what the modern world has!
The fire engine is here!
The fire engine!
It's red!
Red!
I want to learn more about this vehicle!
The search is on!
Fire engine... Fire engine...
Fire engine...
Fire...
Too many books...
Oh! That's right!
This is when you're supposed to ask the librarian for help!
Librarian
Um, excuse me.
Where might I find books similar to this one?
Um...
Can't she hear me?
Quiet
Um!
E-Excuse me!
H-How may I be of assistance, madam?
Huh?
Madam?
Dangerous Vigilante
Oh, from your book...
How may I help you?
Um, are there any other books that talk about fire engines?
Stare
Um...
Please come back after school...
After school?
Come back after school?
P-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.
Huh?
Librarian girls have become a regular fixture in games.
Since most schools have a library...
When a character operates from the library,
she will only appear in certain locations,
which makes it easier to script events.
The librarian girl character has become
extremely competitive for games with a school setting!
She must be a stellar rendition,
or I won't even bother.
I wouldn't describe her as stellar...
Since she couldn't tell me where to find the books with fire engines...
Fire engines?
Hmph!
If she's no good,
I'll exercise my user rights and send a letter of protest!
To whom?
Sorry for making you wait.
Here 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 Detective Nezu's recounting of an arson.
Our library has a pretty advanced indexing system.
I didn't use an index.
This was mostly from memory...
Since I've read every book in the library.
But I can't say that out loud!
That'll just make me seem creepy...
But I already brought out all these books on fire engines!
That's just as creepy.
I should have chosen two or three...
Maybe I should ask what type of fire engine she's interested in...
No, it's too late for that!
What do I do?
She doesn't talk much.
I'm no good at dealing with other people.
But it doesn't matter...
As long as I have my books...
I'll be safe in here.
I can live out my life in this castle.
She looks to be another difficult challenge.
Anyway, what were you even studying?
Huh?
Inside and Outside the Big Wall
I love books...
I love this place!
Each book is a new world.
Every word leads to a different world.
Each shelf is a universe.
A world of boundless imagination...
From here, I can go anywhere.
I can be anyone.
I can do anything!
Books are made of paper and words.
Ensembles of human creation...
Magic spells for sending thoughts across time...
Books are art.
Books are culture.
Books are miracles.
Books are an era.
Books are life.
Books are suns.
Books are songs.
Books are a lifetime.
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 of spending time with my books...
Time when I can be myself.

Librarian.
She doesn't talk much.
How will you get close to her?
How would I know?
However, when it comes to librarian girls, there's an inviolable rule.
An inviolable rule?
If you listen carefully,
you can hear a bookish girl's inner voice.
Bookish girls tend to be quiet,
but they're always thinking to themselves.
Oh...
The complete opposite of a feather-brained dummy,
who's always babbling.
This gap is what makes bookish girls so attractive!
Shy!
Intelligent!
The very definition of a bookish girl!
I understand!
Oh! But how are you supposed to hear her thoughts?
Amateur.
I can hear her thoughts whenever I want.
Yuko
"(Who is he...?)"
See?
Um...
That only works in games...
Then this conquest is impossible.
Huh?
Divine One!
Quiet
What? Really?
Yep!
But doesn't that mean...
First Love
Wanna come to my place and see for yourself?
What should I do?
How rude!
This is a sacred place of learning!
Not a place for a lovers' rendezvous!
Besides, it's customary for boys and girls to maintain a safe distance,
and engage in reserved relationships.
Shiomiya!
Good work!
I appreciate your 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.
Pretty please? 'Kay?
Okay.
Thanks!
I'll be back with good news!
Books to be disposed of this month
For Disposal
Goodbye, books...
You'll soon be leaving this library.
Some will be sent to other libraries.
Some will make their way to used book stores.
And some will...
A book is paper, nothing more.
Chronicles of wisdom thrown away, without a thought...
Stupid!
Huh?
What?
What?!
He's the guy from yesterday...
Did he just save me?
Why?
Oh, he was being nice.
Just being nice!
But why would he help me?
Or no, that's normal?
That's right...
I need to thank him!
Um...
Should I just say it normally?
Like normal, nonchalantly...
Huh?
But we met yesterday,
so should I thank him for yesterday?
I'll do a run-through.
Hi.
We met yesterday, right?
Wait! Wait! Wait!
He might not remember me!
Um... Um...
Oh, dear!
If I keep dawdling, I'll lose my chance!
Principles of Economics
I have to say something fast!
Have to thank him!
Quick! Quick!
Principles of Economics

Inside of Me...
There is no such thing as unrequited love in a game.
Whether it's childhood friends, celebrities,
student council presidents, stepsisters,
goddesses, angels, or demons...
Once you hit the right flags, you're set.
An exception?
Could it be true love...
No, just a bug... Yeah.
Divine Brother, I finished the cake!
