Intro
Today is the day the new releases arrive. I carry stacks of books and start lining them up on the store's most prominent shelf.
Even so, the rain hasn't stopped all day. Because of it, there are zero customers, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof continues to ring out.
I was working silently when I was suddenly called out to from behind.
...U-Um... Guest-san. Where did we usually put this book again...?
As Sein speaks, his face looks somewhat pale and bloodless.
