Setsuna! Hey Setsuna! Let's finish up practice and pick up where we left off tomorrow!

Huh? Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't even notice it was time to lock up! I'll get my things ready so please give me a moment.

Um, where's my bag… Whoa!

Are you okay?

Sorry, yes, I'm fine! Oh, don't pick it up! D-Don't look at that!

Hm? What is this, Setsuna?

I-It's the novel I'm currently reading.

Wait, I've seen this light novel cover! The girl is so cute, and the boy is so cool. It was very eye-catching, so I remember it well.

Yes, it is very eye-catching, isn't it? The illustrator really brought out the cuteness and coolness of the characters!

The costume design is amazing, too! I'd love to have an outfit like this of my own. It's a little sci-fi, but being out of the ordinary is so great!

Don't you think their expressions are full of life, too?! You can almost hear them laughing!

Oh, the story is great, too! It's typical fantasy, so it's a little predictable, but it's so familiar and relatable!

You know what's going to happen, but when it does you're like, yes this is what I was waiting for this ROCKS! Isn't it amazing?!

Oh, I'm sorry! I got a little caught up in it.

Whenever I talk about things I like, I always want people to understand so I end up talking way too much.

I try not to, though. Sorry about that. Doesn't it gross you out?

What? Why are you apologizing? It doesn't gross me out at all! I was getting excited listening to you.

Wait, you were getting excited?

Are you sure? That's awesome!

Of course! I hope you like this book. Then we can talk about it a lot! I don't really talk to people about stuff like this, so I'd love to have the chance!

Really? Ayumu and I used to talk about comics all the time.

I guess it's hard for you to do that because you have to be a shining example in front of others while you're the class president.

Yes, but also my parents forbid all comics and anime in the house. So I haven't been able to talk about that, like ever. Even since before I was president.

Wait, totally forbidden?! Your parents sound stricter the more I hear about them. I guess I'm the first friend you have to do that with!

I'm surprised you have another hobby other than school idols. Anime and comics are fun though!

Yeah! Reading them gives me so much love and courage!

I have some good ones, so I'll bring them tomorrow. Can you bring the first book of that one tomorrow?

I actually have it already.

You do?

My parents will find it if I leave it at home, so I have a stash in the student council room. *Chuckle* Don't tell anyone, though.
