You're teaching?

[reading_readman]

Hm? Yes, I'm one of the history teachers! Normally I'd only work as a substitute, but since I'm not sure how long I'll be here, and since the British Library isn't here to pay my debts I had to take a full-time position.

[swordofchrist]

That is probably the most prudent measure you could take.

[reading_readman]

Mm, I thought so, too. And it's so close to the library, too! It seems there aren't many students at the moment, but I suppose it can't be helped given the way the city works.

Do you work at the school, Mr...?

[arr_ilovemecigs]

God you're such a book fag.

[reading_readman]

... Excuse me? Th-That sounds a little uncalled for...

[arr_ilovemecigs]

Tell me something, what's so good about books anyways?

[reading_readman]

Books are great~! Writers and the people who read their work have a really special kind of relationship! There's so much you can learn about the world and writers by reading their books! It's really wonderful~!

[doujin_dork]

Ah! That's good?.

[reading_readman]

I know~! It's so exciting!

[doujin_dork]

I guess this library really does have everything.

[reading_readman]

I'm sure it doesn't have EVERYTHING, but... Ah, it certainly has a lot, doesn't it? Hahaha~!
