Put it on the fifth shelf
[Narration]Based on memory, I place the book on the fifth shelf and go back to Mai.
[Mai Aihara]Ah... This book looks quite good. Master, I've found the book I need.
[player]...I've failed.
[Mai Aihara]Master?
[Narration]In the end, Mai found the book she was looking for somewhere else. I put the "Garden Files" in the wrong place.
[player]Maybe you should find a few more books as reference materials? I remember the fourth shelf has gardening related books.
[Mai Aihara]Most of the books on the fifth shelf are about scientific theories. I don't really understand those complicated books.
[Mai Aihara]Master, you can take a look at them if you're interested. I'll wait for you over here.
[player]Okay... I'll be back soon then.
[Narration]I miscalculated. I didn't think I would put it on the wrong shelf. I have to get the "Garden Files" back.
[player]Huh? This is strange... I'm sure I put the book here earlier.
[Narration]I return to the place where I put the book only to find "Pineapple Instructor" isn't there.
[Librarian]Are you looking for a book? I just sorted this shelf and moved the books that are in the wrong category somewhere else.
[player]Eh? But a private belonging of mine was on that shelf.
[Librarian]A private belonging? Are you referring to... a book?
[Narration]The librarian before me suddenly frowns. She props up her glasses with her hand and then points right at the electronic screen in the direction of the hall with a finger as straight as a pointer.
[Librarian]Library Regulation No. 3: It is forbidden to bring your own books into the reading room!
[player]I-I'm sorry! I'll be careful next time. But for now... I just want to find my own book.
[Librarian]It should be kept under custody if it is a personal belonging. Come with me.
[Narration]Afterwards, the stern but warm-hearted librarian took me with her to ask around, but everyone said they had not seen any missing books.
[Narration]Because I have already spent a lot of time, I decide to go back to Mai first in case she starts getting worried about me. I will search for the "Garden Files" later.
[Narration]However, I never got the chance to act alone before we returned to the Temple of Moons.
[player]Okay, I'll leave it on the coffee table then. Hehe...
[Mai Aihara]It must have been hard on you, Master. It's all because I took out so many books.
[player]It's alright. Well, I still have something to do, so I need to leave first...
[Mai Aihara]Leave? Right now?
[Narration]Mai still hasn't realized that her "Garden Files" is missing. I feel guilty about keeping this from her, but it's more important right now to get back to the library as soon as possible to find it.
[player]It won't take long. I'll be back very soon.
[Narration]The "Garden Files" must still be in the library. The crisis will be averted if I can get it back in time and put it on the shelf in the living room.
[Narration]I observe the bookshelf as I think to myself. You can tell by the wide variety of books on it that Mai really likes to read.
[Narration]On the bookshelf is a book with a green spine. At first, I thought it was just a book that looked similar to the "Garden Files," but then I saw the words "Garden Files" written on the side with a marker pen.
[Mai Aihara]Okay, I understand. But Master, would you like to drink a cup of tea before you leave?
[Narration]I take two steps closer to observe it carefully while pretending that nothing is happening. In the end, I confirm that this is indeed the "Garden Files" I saw before.
[player]...Now that I think about it, I'll go there some other day.
[Mai Aihara]Eh? Are you not leaving now?
[player]Yea, I've decided to stay and have a cup of tea. Is that okay, Mai?
[Mai Aihara]Of course. Please give me a moment.
[Narration]I also feel relieved as I watch Mai runs happily to the kitchen. My conclusion is that the book that I picked up at the library is probably not the "Garden Files."
[Narration]Now that I think about it, that was just a library book that fell behind Mai and had the same dust jacket as the "Garden Files." I jumped to conclusion when I decided it was Mai's book.
[player]The matter is sorted out now since I don't need to go back to the library. I should read a book and take a break for a while.
[Narration]With that thought in mind, I pick up a book that we just took out and start reading it.
