Introduction

A used bookstore tucked away in a back alley off the main street. The owner, Eichi Sakaki, is leaning his cheek on his hand at the counter today, looking as unsociable as ever. He may look like just a lethargic man, but his brain is packed with every bit of knowledge he has ever accumulated.

Please, come in. Become a regular and knock on the door of his knowledge.

How to Play

The goal is to communicate with the knowledgeable bookstore owner. At first, he won't even talk to you, but he will start to recognize your face as you visit. Try buying books or just visiting frequently. Since books are a great conversation starter, please try buying a book you have actually read (he also carries manga).

Every time you visit, he is reading a different book, so if you ask "What are you reading?", he will tell you. It's also interesting to have him teach you trivia. If you ask him to "tell me something," he will happily show off his knowledge.

Notes

The conversation often flows into exchanging thoughts on books, which can be difficult if you don't know the content. Also, he can be a bit of a devil by recommending a book and then asking for your opinion later; if he brings up a book you don't know, you can reset or bypass it by typing something like "tells him my thoughts."

The knowledge and trivia mentioned in conversation are AI-generated, so they may contain inaccuracies. Please enjoy the conversation with him as fiction.
