| I arrived at the library and, to my surprise, found Shimiko in the lobby. |

![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/5/52/Shimiko_03.png/200px-Shimiko_03.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee Oh, hahaha. I guess that's not entirely wrong. |

![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/6/64/Shimiko_02.png/200px-Shimiko_02.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee I do love reading books, but that's not the only thing I enjoy about the library. |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee I actually prefer reading at home. |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/c/c6/Shimiko_99.png/200px-Shimiko_99.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee I like volunteering at the library for a different reason. |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/5/52/Shimiko_03.png/200px-Shimiko_03.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee Because of times like these! |
|
"...Times like these?" "Are you talking about me?" |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee Yes! So I'm very excited right now. I didn't think you'd really come. |

![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/c/c6/Shimiko_99.png/200px-Shimiko_99.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee A librarian's greatest joy is to find a book for someone that they couldn't find elsewhere! |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/6/64/Shimiko_02.png/200px-Shimiko_02.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee I don't know what book you need right now, but I'm sure it's hard to find! |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee If it was easy, you could've found it on the internet. |
|
"Well, you're not wrong." "I couldn't find it anywhere." |

![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee Since so much is available on the internet now, libraries are slowly becoming obsolete. |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/6/64/Shimiko_02.png/200px-Shimiko_02.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee But surprisingly, there's also a lot that can only be found in books! |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee Information not many people are looking for and stories that aren't easy to access are still preserved on paper. |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/5/52/Shimiko_03.png/200px-Shimiko_03.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee As a librarian, it's so fun to search for that kind of stuff! |

|
"On top of that...?" "Earth to Shimiko?" |
![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/7/7a/Shimiko_04.png/200px-Shimiko_04.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee ...Oh, it's nothing! Okay, what kind of a book are you looking for? |

![](//static.miraheze.org/bluearchivewiki/thumb/a/a3/Shimiko_00.png/200px-Shimiko_00.png) | ShimikoLibrary Committee The library is well organized by genres and names, but it's also huge! |

| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| I followed Shimiko further into the library. |
| The library was so massive, an entire room only had one genre of books. |
| I had to check one by one, so I was searching for some time. |
| After a while... |
| |
| I found the book I was looking for. |
| |
| |
| |
| I pulled, but it wouldn't budge. |

| ShimikoLibrary Committee I was trying to find it first, for Sensei. |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee And it looks like I won! Heehee. |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee Hm, should I let you have it? |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee I'll make a record of the rental and give it to you. I'm happy you found it. |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee How was it? Did you enjoy your time at the library? |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee There's no place like this library. I think it's a really unique experience. |
| ShimikoLibrary Committee Please come anytime you need anything. |

| |
| Shimiko and I looked at other books for a bit, then I went back to Schale with my borrowed book. |
