免許持ってるけど、秘密の賞品が気になる……何だろ？

Ask other people about what is troubling Sora
If I have to find someone who is familiar with Sora in this café, the first person I would think of is Reina Nanami. If I remember correctly, they are classmates.
[Reina Nanami]You want to know what has been troubling Sora recently? Hmm... I don't really know either. There's nothing special going on other than the announcement that the school will organize a fashion show.
[player]A fashion show?
[Reina Nanami]Yeah, it's a special Halloween event the school is running this year. It's open to all students of Aotsuyu Middle School, and the winner will get a special prize.
[Reina Nanami]Hold on, assuming this is relevant, maybe Sora is worried about the fashion show. I mean, he's the only one in class who hasn't decided on what character he wants to dress up as.
[player]Huh... Wouldn't Sora choose a character like Frankenstein without hesitation?
[Reina Nanami]That's what I thought too, but Sora seems to have his own considerations. Everyone's saying that the reason he's so troubled by this that this year's prize is too attractive to him.
[player]Did you just say there's a prize?! Please tell me more about it!
[Reina Nanami]The school hasn't officially announced what the prizes are yet, but rumor says this year's grand prize is a set of newly released commemorative sci-fi books.
[player]I see, that really is a very tempting prize to him. I wonder what the fashion show held by Aotsuyu Middle School will look like. Will any professional models be there to provide guidance?
[Reina Nanami]If you're interested... why don't you come and experience it for yourself? It's the school's intention for the Halloween event to be a medium to promote the school to the outside world anyway. We organize similar events two to three times every year, and all citizens of One Han City are welcome to participate at the school.
[player]Are you sure? The café should be really busy on Halloween. Are you sure you don't need me here that day?
[Reina Nanami]You haven't gotten much rest recently, which is already making me feel bad... Don't worry about Halloween because I've already made arrangements. So please come to our school to enjoy the festive vibe there.
[player]But Halloween is next week and I haven't made any preparations yet. And now you're telling me to participate in a Halloween fashion show... I don't even know where to buy a costume from.
[Reina Nanami]I think can help you with that. My uncle buys some Halloween decorations every year to decorate the cafe, so I'm quite familiar with these things. And there just happens to be a good costume store among the stores that are partners with Éternité.
[player]That's great!
[Reina Nanami]This is the address of the shop. It is open 24 hours a day for the entire week before Halloween, so you can take a look at any time. Oh right... there's a very cheeky employee there, so you must be careful.
I'm just buying some clothes. Why would I need to be careful of an employee who works there?
...I suddenly have a bad feeling about this.
[player]No. 232, No. 234, No. 23... Found it! This is the shop!
The shop Reina recommended is located at the end of the commercial strip, and its dark decoration makes it inconspicuous among the colorful clothing stores there. There is also no signboard or logo at the door. All it has is an ordinary blackboard with the words "Open" written on it. I would never have found this place if Reina didn't give me the specific address.
After verifying the address a few more times, I push open the shop's extremely ancient-looking front door.
[???]Ah! Fresh brains! I shall have a feast tonight!
A strange sound that sounds like fingernails scratching a blackboard rings in my ears, accompanied by the sound of metal banging. Suddenly, a finger that is obviously cooler than the normal body temperature of a human slides across my wrist.
[player]W-What's that?
I turn my neck rigidly to find myself face to face with a huge skull.
