When the era name was changed to Seika.
in order to arrest the spread of negative influences which would harm the society,
Media Enhancement Act was enacted.
In order to protect the freedom of expression from the brutal inspection of the Media Enhancement Force,
libraries have adopted the military approach.
Conflicts between both parties intensified.
In Year 31 Seika,
a young idiotic girl joined the war behind her parents' back.
Excuse me, officer. Idiotic girl?

This article is pretty well written.
You guys can read it if you want.
It's a full-page coverage.
This must've dealt the Media Enhancement Committee quite a fatal blow.
Kasahara, aren't you gonna read this?
If they find out, they'll drag me home.
No. I must try my best to avoid that.
I can do it!
"Kasahara's Change of Shift"
That's right. It's today.
The most vital show in your life, eh?
Looks like she's adopted another role, that of a librarian.
Oh God, my Prince Charming, and whoever there is, please protect m-
Pardon me.
Your parents are here.
That's enough. Stop yelling.
It turned out this way because you didn't tell them clearly.
Come on, let's go.
Oi, Kasahara.
Don't you think this is going to be troublesome?
No way!!!
Bo- Both of you look fine. I- I- I'm glad to see-
What the hell was that?
She starts stuttering once she sees her parents.
By the way, where were you just now?
Eh?
Aren't you working in the library?
Ac- Actually, I work in the underground stack room.
I'll be back here tomorrow, everything will be fine.
Hey, what do I mean by everything is fine?
Hey, Iku. There won't be any inspections today, right?
What if they decided to raid the library...
There- there is no way that could happen every day...
I feel her pain.
She's more frightened than I imagined.
She sweated so much last night that she had to change her clothes.
In this season?
Well, shall we go?
We've already visited this place while waiting for you.
Hey, Iku. We'd like to take a look at the Base.
Lt. Doujou,
please use your authority as an officer and tell them that...
...unauthorised personnels are not allowed in the Base.
Are you an idiot?
How can I say that when there's a passage for visitors?
Well... Shibasaki,
please come with me.
No way I'll accept the job of baby-sitting you.
Then, what about you, Sir?
I'm your superior.
What am I going to answer if they ask about your performance?
Inadequate knowledge when it comes to library's tasks,
clumsy and careless, good for nothing,
that's all I can say.
That's cruel. Am I really that...
Shh... both of you are too loud.
Let Shibasaki handle the situation from here.
I'll buy you a meal next time. Please help me out, will you?
I want a fantastic set lunch plus dessert.
As you wish!
It feels scary, doesn't it?
It's better than being yelled at by an officer.
Right? Kasahara-san.
Ahahaha, that's right!
Was that intentional?
What is this helicopter being used for?
Besides transportation,
we use it in military training and to carry injured personnel.
Don't be fooled by its looks. It can carry 15 people.
This is our cafeteria.
It certainly looks worn out...
Ah, Captain Genda.
They are parents of Private Kasahara.
Please to meet you. I'm Genda.
This officer has been taking care of us since our recruit days.
Our daughter must have been a handful.
You daughter has been quite active lately.
Active?
Don't you know?
In fact, a few days ago-
Captain Genda.
There's an urgent matter, come with me for a while.
Wait, wait.
By the way, how about your accommodation?
We'll take care of your accommodation.
Therefore, please stay over.
Well, we might as well.
Hey, Doujou.
please show him the way to the male dorms.
It seems like my daughter addresses you as her senior officer.
Kasaha-
During Private Kasahara's training period,
I was her training officer.
Perhaps she's still stuck with that old habit.
My daughter seems to trust you a lot.
Huh?!
I'm sorry. Is that so?
Back in the library, the one my daughter directly sought help from was you.
What kind of room is it?
Let me have a little peep.
No!
Because this room doesn't belong to me alone...
I don't mind.
Shi-ba-sa-ki...
I'm coming in.
Ah- wai- wait!

What can I see from here?
Oh my.
Don't tell me this is...
That's... mine.
I appreciate your kind intention.
I really do, but...
It's really obvious that the clothes aren't your size!
This belongs to my boyfriend in the Department of Defense.
It's a secret, okay?
Good Job! Shibasaki!
"Nice follow [up]!"
Shibasaki-san is elegant and matured.
If you observe carefully,
she exudes an air of femininity, doesn't she?
Ah, is that so?
I, on the other hand, is always clumsy and klutzy.
What happened to your arm?
It's... nothing.
Well, it's time to go back.
Would it be better if I was like Shibasaki?
Good night.
It's for your own good.
I'll be really worried if this were to go on.
Don't decide on your own.
Iku, why don't you try to understand your mother's feelings?
My condolences. I heard that your parents stayed over at the dorm.
Shut up.
Even after we changed our tasks especially for you,
you're still self-destructive as always.
Hey, are you okay?
I was being careless just now. Careless, okay?
Was there ever a time when you were careful?
Shut- shut up, Doujou the Second!
Hey, over there.
Huh?

Shall I handle the rest of the day for you?
Excuse me!
Are- are you looking for something?
Ah, Iku.
WHAT?!!
What should I do? This isn't for real, right?
My my, the books aren't arranged the way they should. What a mess!
Hey, I want issue where Kantou Library Corps made the front page.
Looks like someone else borrowed it...
Move aside.
What is this incident about?
Ah, that- that is...
"Special Edition Full Story behind the Battle of the Museum of Intelligence History Kantou's Library Corps's Activities."
It's about the battle against the Media Enhancement Committee in Odawara, isn't it?
About 2 weeks ago, right?
Yes.
In that case, you should start with the previous issues to get a better insight into this incident.
This, for example.
Is that so? Well, I'll read this then.
Dangerous items should be put out of sight.
Idiot, don't bring them here.
Furthermore, the latest issues aren't allowed to be checked out within the first 2 weeks.
But... if it's left there, my parents will...
Can't you make an exception just this once?
I can't.
But...
Principle No. 2!
Huh?
The freedom promised by the library. Principle No. 2.
The library has the freedom to disseminate information.
Don't strip readers of their freedom to read,
no matter what circumstances you are in.
Yes, Sir.
There should be a lot of readers since this is the latest issue.
If it's returned to the shelf, you just have to distract your parents from the magazine.
I see. I'll try that out.
This is the following issue.
Thank you.

Di- Didn't you like this person?
I can't find this anywhere else!
As expected of a library.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I'd like to read about this year's current affairs,
what do you have for me?
What intention are you harbouring?
In other words, you're looking for this year's important affairs or something related, right?
Yes.

Right, that was easy.

Here, these are the books you requested.
These are last year's.
You're kidding me!
That's right. This year's affairs are marked by next year's date.
I'm sorry. I'll get them immediately.
None.
Were they all checked out?
This is impossible.
Perhaps they aren't purchased yet.
That's impossible too.
Why... I don't get it.
Lt. Doujou.
I'll go.
But... if I don't do this...
Are you an idiot?
Your circumstance does not matter now.
It's our job to fulfill our readers' requests as fast as we can.
If you keep screwing up, it will only cause the public to distrust us.
It's the end of the year now,
there are many readers who seek information on current affairs.
That's why we set up a special corner.
It seems like summaries and current affairs series are unavailable now.
Are there other reading materials that you recommend?
Which type of materials do you prefer?
Easy to read, ones with concise information would be nice.
In that case...
How about these?
Thank you very much.
Flawless.
His response was prompt.
He even asked Tezuka?
Job performance is easily distinguished when you're compared with your colleagues.
Aren't you quite sloppy compared to them?
This sucks. They're really testing me..
Tezuka is extremely outstanding anyway.
Don't compare me with that monster!
Then... comparing you with Shibasaki is fine I guess?

She's way out of my league too!
Everyone except you is brilliant,
how can you still become a librarian?
A thief!
Stop right there-Ouch!
Don't underestimate my legs!
Why, you!-
Good job.
Hey...
I messed up.
You'll have a questioning session with your family tomorrow, huh?
Well, that is because...
she can run really fast.
For example today, she helped arrest-
What do you think of my daughter as a librarian?
She lacks training.
However, she's really determined when it comes to protecting books.
Well, how does she fare as a subordinate?
A very precious one.
Although she's not there yet, but I believe she'll become an excellent librarian.
I'm glad that she met you.
Signs : "Burn all decadent books!!"
Abide by the Media Enhancement Act. Disband the Library Corps immediately!
Have you ever been subjected to their violence?
Although we've encountered a few violent organisations,
but the securities took care of them and sent them to the police.
But you can't be too sure all the time...
rifles are used occasionally, right?
What if you're hit by stray bullets...
Hey, Iku.
Can't you apply for leave when they come for inspections?
It's the same for everyone. This is our job!
Even Shibasaki has to obey her superior's order when inspections take place.
I was worried sick when I saw the injury on your arm yesterday.
This really isn't a place you should work at.
Are you saying that it's okay if it's someone else's child?
That's not what I meant...
Hey... stop working with the library and-
I'm going off if you continue saying that.
Sit down, please.
This isn't something that you can quit easily.
Huh?
This is a job Iku decided on her own.
But still...
Why don't you respect her decision?
Dad... is taking my side...
Iku, why did you want to become a librarian?
That's because...
My my, he's like your Prince Charming, isn't he?
Yeah. Anyway...
I just want to protect books like how he did.
It's the first I heard of such a thing, but that's a good enough reason.
Please take care of your health.
You too, please take care of yourself.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't tell you the truth.
Please take care of Iku for me.
I will.
I'm beat.
