>I have a secret.

>Kya Kya
>Touko-senpai!
>Senpai!!

>Amazing, Touko!! You really turned it around!
>No big deal...

>More importantly, please take care of the rest!

p5
>Geez! Why do you always leave early?
>Library duty!

>Eh~?!
>The library again!? ....You could afford to skip once in a while.
>You should accompany the underclassmen!
>I refuse!

>...Hey, Touko, have you heard that rumor about the library!?
>Mm...
>The one about the mirror that spirits away anyone who looks at it...!!

>Yeah, yeah! Trying to scare me isn't gonna work!
>The library is my holy ground, after all!

p6
>I have a secret.

>Ooh!! You're at the top again, Yui!!
>You gotta share some of your brains with us too!

>We should be getting a decent club budget this year thanks to Yui.
>Huh? Where are you going, Yui?

>Library duty!

p7
>Oh yeah!
>Speaking of the library, have you heard that rumor!?

>You're focusing on your reading when all of a sudden...!
>A mysterious cat-eared girl comes and steals your underwear!

>No matter how you're standing, she'll snatch your underwear without you realizing it!!
>Is it the occult? A cosplaying student? Or maybe just a criminal?
>Either way, her technique is very intriguing!!

>Well then, let's recruit some guinea pigs!!
>Illustionist?
>A suspicious person?

p8
>The library after school
>is a place for just the two of us.

>Tsukiyono Yui (14)
>Touko-chan!
>Did you wait long?

>Seika Touko (14)

p9
>Eh!?
>Why you gotta be so mean!?
>Waah~n
>It's the truth!!

>But I'm only one minute later
>than when we agreed to meet up, though?
>O-One minute late is still late!!

>A-Anyway,
>hurry it up!
>?
>O-Our greeting!!
>I-I'm always the one who starts off!!

p10
>D-Do it properly!
>We have a secret.

>Touko-chan.

>Mm...

>Geez...!
>You kept me waiting so long that the chairs were growing roots!!

p11
>Don't worry! I don't see any roots.
>Lots of cute cats, though.
>Awawawawawa

>Stupid Yui!! You erorist!!
>It's a promise he made to each other.

p12
>That was mean, Touko-chan...
>That's my line!!

>You shouldn't just look up people's skirts like that!!
>Eh~?

>But Touko-chan,
>lifting up skirts has been a sign of affection since ancient times.

>Don't just make up history!!
>That kind of kingdom should be destroyed!!

p13
>Quit staying stupid stuff and get to work, librarian!!
>Uhe~
>Fine... What's on the agenda today?

>We need to pack up these books and carry them to the storage room!
>Wah! There's still a lot here!!

>It's because you slacked off yesterday, Yui.
>Ehehe. I was playing around with the new book entry forms.

>But it'd be easy to use if they'd let us link to digital books!
>You always get like that when it comes to computers, Yui...

p14
>Touko-chan and I are both librarians.
>We've been together since childhood.

>We first met at the neighborhood children's center.
>It's there that we both came to love fairytales.

>Unlike me, she's athletic and popular...
>A girl I can look up to.

>My idol!

p15
>I can still distinctly remember
>the first time I met Yui.

>She was alone in the book corner, looking through a complicated book.
>It made me want to push my limits and read all kinds of books too.

>From there, we began to notice each other...
>Before I realised it, we were always together...

>Touko-chan! This is the last book!
>My one and only Altair.

p16
>Let's carry the remaining books to the storage room!
>I hate how dark that place is...

>You're bad with ghosts, after all, Touko-chan!
>A-As if!?
>Like I'd be scared of something that doesn't exist!!

>Anyway, let's get these tidies away!!
>Hm?
>What's wrong? Is it a ghost?

p17
>Of course it wasn't!!
>Wah
>It was some kind of cat!!

>Kyaaah!

>Hey... Yui!!
>Quit screwing around and give me back my underwear!!

>Eh? Underwear!?
>I didn't take it.

>Kyaa!!
>Eep!!

p18
>Touko-chan! It's a kid!!
>A girl!!
>She's heading that way!!

>Hey!! Where do you think you're going!?
>Give us back our underwear!!

>Yeah!! Give back my lowlegs
>and Touko-chan's scanty kitty panties!!

>Stop describing them, stupid Yui!!

p19
>At this rate, we'll be riding the train home while commando! I'd rather die than do that!!
>Touko-chan, I'm feeling crazy from imagining that...!

>It feels immoral and lewd.
>Don't lift it up!!

>Ah! She went that way!!
>!

>...She disappeared?
>...A mirror?
>...Why is there a full-length mirror in a place like this...?

p20
>It's like she just went inside it...?
>H-Hey, stop that!

>Heh?

>Wah!
>Gyaaaah!!

>Yui...?
>Eh?
>No way...!?

p21
>...She went inside the mirror?
>Wh-Wh-Wh-
>What do I do!?
>Awawa
>Wawa!?
>A light...!? She went to the other side!?

>Heeeey!!
>Wait for me!!

>Gross!
>Holy cow<3
