At the end of the opening ceremony there will be another home room, so today's event will be over and after school.
I am now in the library to fulfill my promise to Alicia.
"This is the school library! The book is…… the book is full……!
Alicia has been in a good mood ever since she came to the library, and I grazed my chest.
At this rate, we are likely to be allowed to use it again and again in the future.
The one about relying on the library in case of trouble…… I rely on the library "Abo".
Next to me was Wen Jia, the bookstore clerk's sister, who became my friend today. When I told him I was going to the library after school, he ran for me when I showed him the way.
It should be noted that Yuna, who had come with me, had broken up early when she arrived in the library and was reading a fashion magazine in the magazine corner.
He also wanted to come to the purity that made him friends with me today, but he regretted that he couldn't go because he had a club.
"So, what kind of book is Alice looking for?
"I'm not thinking in particular..."
It's Alicia who's looking for the book in the first place, not me. I read comics and lanobes there, but not so much as a reader.
Even though it had not been two months since they enrolled in school, they had never been in the library since their orientation when they enrolled.
"What book does Alicia want to read?
"First, I'd like to take a tour around here to see what kind of books there are."
"In the meantime, I'm going to take a look at the library all the way through."
"That would be nice. Then you should refer to the guide diagram there."
There was an arrangement diagram showing where and which genre of books were stored at the end where Wen Jia pointed to me and a guidance diagram showing the classification method.
I'll move to the front of it to see the whole guide. It was familiar to any library, but it seemed fresh to Alicia's eyes.
'How wonderful! I can't believe that a large number of books are so strictly genre-divided and neatly classified...'
Ho, and a sigh of sigh.
"…… amazing?
Wen Jia explains to me sitting in front of the guide diagram.
"This is called the Japanese decimal classification method, which is used in libraries across Japan. I knew Alice would have the qualities I expected her to have."
What qualities are they? I smiled vaguely and gave it back.
"The number of books here is pretty good. The secretary has a good teacher, so he manages his books well... Isn't that nice?
'Yes, I think it is very, very nice! I want to live here!
"…… right."
I shall reply to Wenjia without difficulty, smiling bitterly at Alicia's tension in my heart.
'Can I live there!?
"No, because I don't live there"
"Well, then, you can look at it as you like. I'm at the new issue or lending counter, so if you decide on a book you want to borrow, call me. You can borrow up to three books at a time."
Saying so, Wenjia walked to the new edition corner.
Is it something like a boulderbook lover who doesn't try to act together in the library? When you pick a book, nobody interrupts you and you want to pick it carefully.
...... maybe I just want to find the book I want to read.
'… then, what shall we do? Do you have a genre or something you'd like to see?
"First, I want to see the title all the way through."
That's how I walk around the library. Alicia nodded at every book as if she wanted to read it to her hands, but first she seemed to concentrate on remembering the title, which I can feel as if it was too much patience.
Note that remembering the title means remembering it completely for Alicia.
Her memory was unusual, and if necessary, she could remember everything by simply streaming and reading the book. When I read textbooks on Japanese history and world history and science that had nothing to do with the transfer exam, I also answered Alicia's desire to read without taking time to study by scrolling through the parallax and asking her to remember the contents and read them later.
After spending about half an hour touring the library all the way, I go get the three books she designated.
The first book is a commentary book on steam engines. It was like a book with lots of pictures and illustrations and preliminary content.
The second book is about law and politics, and it explains the history that humanity has traced to the outline of the political system and the establishment of the legal system… but the content doesn't come into my head in a book with a surprising text.
The third book I chose was one of the first animated booklets I saw with Alicia.
... you also keep a high school library called Lanobe. You know, there's a little bit of an eclectic drawing or an illustration, but is it okay? I thought so, but if you think about it, even a regular novel can be quite wet or something, so maybe you care too much.
I return to the entrance with three books that Alicia has chosen.
Wenjia was at the lending counter at the entrance and seemed to be having a chat with the librarian's female student. I guess it's a regular thing because of the feeling. Wen Jia, who noticed me, waved small.
"Alice, how'd it go?
'It was a very, very fulfilling moment!
"... Yeah, well, it was fun."
"Hand over your chosen book and student ID to the receptionist."
That's all they said and noticed.
Speaking of which, I'm going to need a student ID to lend.
"…… Ah, what shall I do? I haven't got my student ID yet."
"Sorry, I can't lend without reading the bar code on my student ID."
The student of the clerk says so and makes a sorry face.
"It was a far-fetched thing... what am I supposed to do, it's against the rules to use my student ID"
There's no other way with the rules.
Do I have to remember everything in the library when this happens......?
"I'll borrow the book."
Saying so, the student ID is placed on the counter.
"It's not a violation for my sister to read that I'm renting it and it's at home, is it?
"Yuna............!
Yuna appeared sober in my pinch.
Hey, you're cool.
"Anyway, I don't think I'll ever borrow a book!
Don't say that with confidence.
Hey, you're ruining it...
There was such a thoroughness, but I managed to borrow the book safely.
Alicia was in a good mood and thanked Yuna many times for her reading.
"Thank you too Wenjia. It came with... I thought you were bored while I was choosing.
"I'm perfectly fine because I'm someone who wants to be in the library when I'm free... sorry I didn't realize about my student ID"
"Never mind. Yuna was there, so there was no problem."
"Hmm. I was bored, by the way! After this, you're gonna have dinner and do a sweet exploratory tour, right? Let's go. Yikes. Wen Jia-chi is coming with you?
"I don't know if I'm interrupting..."
"It's totally welcome. Yikes!
"Then I'll come with you. I think it's time for the pure club to end, so can I invite you?
"Of course!"
When Wen Jia exchanged on the mobile messaging app, there seemed to be no problem with the pure convenience, and the four of us decided to go to the after-school city to play.
