Uzuki sits with his chin resting on his hand, turning the pages of a book with the other. It's a perfectly peaceful daily life.

Hmm, nice.

Gaku lies on the sofa, clutching a game console with his eyes glued to the screen. His eyes are half-closed as if he's a bit tired.

Kashima hovers around Uzuki since he has nothing particular to do.

Boss, I heard there are three new novels in stock at the bookstore. Would you like me to tell you about them?

Uzuki raises one hand lightly.
