U-Um...
Excuse me!
Yes, I'm coming!
Librarian
Disposal
Tea
What?
It won't open.
Hello, everyone!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Well, let's get this over with!
Hmm?
What's wrong?
The door won't open.
Huh?
The password isn't working.
Huh?
Boss.
Hmm?
It's hard to read...
Um...
Opposed to the media room... Shiomiya Shiori?
Hey!
Shiomiya!
Get out here!
Hey!
Open the door!
Shiori locked herself in the library.
Why?
There were plenty of warning signs.
You just missed them because you were busy with your fire engines.
Still, people who can't hear her inner monologue would be surprised...
What do we do?
Shouldn't we stop her?
That depends on how this route plays out.
Ah...
Shiomiya!
I've done something really daring...
What if they bring a teacher?
They'll probably bring a teacher...
No, I can't let myself get scared now!
From the beginning, I knew what I was getting into!
Open the door!
Okay? Got it?
Uh-huh...
Shiori!
What are you doing?!
Open the door, already!
We need to figure out what she's trying to accomplish.
Elsie, do it!
Oh...
I won't let them dispose of these books!
I wish for books to not be thrown out
They want to replace these books with CDs and DVDs
Disposal
that can be bought anywhere.
The library isn't meant to be a convenience store!
Even if there isn't much traffic,
the library is supposed to protect valuable books!
I must protect my precious library...
I'm going to stop the new media room!
Huh?
I'm getting tired...
I got up a little early this morning...
Why did you break the vase?
I can't know the reason if you won't say.
Music Room
They've already started...
Will I get in trouble for being late?
What do I do?
How should I make my entrance?
Like in manga?
Man, I'm late!
And act all animated?
I'd probably get in even more trouble for joking around.
I should just enter like usual and apologize.
I don't want to interrupt,
so I'll wait for the piano to stop.
Now!
Library
I like this place!
I don't have to run into anyone.
I don't have to talk with anyone.
Hey!
Are you there, Shiori?!
Open the door!
You fool!
Hey, Shiori!
Shiori!
I'm getting pissed!
Hey.
I would prefer for quiet places to not be taken away.
You have my support.
Katsuragi...
I said his name without screwing up.
Divine One, are you okay?
Originally, I thought he was being belligerent, but now he shows up here.
Who is he?
He's like a character from a fairy tale.
H-Here...
Thanks.
It's a small base.
Mm.
I-If you'd like...
Don't mind me.
He's so rude...
Is he really here to support me?
Should I try talking to him?
But what should I say?
Um... Um...
There's nothing to talk about...
He should say something.
Why do I have to do all the worrying?
Back then, they asked me how I felt about the book,
so I did my best to write down my thoughts.
That doesn't work?
If I don't say anything, no one will understand me?
I spoke out loud again!
No, huh?
Can I have some?
Ah, the power!
We turned off the power and reset the password.
Wow, the boss is pulling out the stops!
You could have just gone to a teacher.
If we bother enough teachers, the media room might be affected.
A lot of effort went into getting it passed.
Heavy...
It'd be pretty tragic if we ended up crushed by books.
The real world is so annoying.
I wish they'd leave me alone.
Yes...
The real world is scary.
It's a pain to deal with other people.
Katsuragi understands...
I wish to successfully defend the library
I just want to live here forever, in the quiet...
That's a lie.
The truth is you want to talk to others.
But you're frightened...
Of saying something that makes them hate you.
E-Everybody feels that way...
Even you.
I don't give a damn about the real world.
Because I...
I believe in my world!
Are you trying to protect your books?
Or are you trying to protect your sanctuary from the outside world?
No.
I love...
I love books.
I don't care about other people...
But I want to talk...
To talk about books...
with other people.
I wanted to talk!
That one time!
That other time!
But it's too late now.
I can't talk to anyone.
It's impossible...
Impossible!
I can't leave this place...
I want to live here forever.
It's scary outside.
People are scary!
Scary... Scary...
Scary!
But if I had the courage...
I'm not brave enough.
I can never reach them...
My voice won't reach them...
Won't reach them...
I'll give you the courage you need.
Loose soul in custody!
Hey! Shiori!
S-S-Sorry for all the trouble I caused!
I-I couldn't stand the idea of all these books being thrown away...
I'm sorry.
But every book has a message to deliver!
I believe there's a message to deliver...
She's talking.
She's talking...
Their voices may be soft,
but I want the library to be a place where their whispers can be heard!
Please!
We should have a discussion about the book disposal!
Fine.
Then we'll hold another meeting!
But the media room is here to stay.
Let's get moving, then!
Give us a hand.
Get to work, people!
U-Um...
Thank you very much.
Later, you'll have to come with me to the faculty office.
Yes!
Ah, that doesn't go over there!
Um...
Was there anyone else here?
Besides me.
Anyone else...
Like who?
Huh?
Er...
Who was it?
But...
I received something in my dream.
Something...
Give me a hand here!
Mm...
Geez...
You've been ignoring me this whole time.
Mm.
Library
Please come again, Keima!
Come Again
This is Shiori.
I've started writing a story.
That day, at that moment, someone was there.
I'm using my faint memories of that moment to write a little story.
Hmm?
What are you doing?
The Last Day
There are a few embarrassing parts...
More Than a God, Less Than a Human
Just as every game has an ending,
every story must come to a close.
But that's not why next episode is the last one.
But nowadays, many games are made with sequels in mind,
so you have to be careful.
Huh? What does that mean?
