[Anzu's room]

Anz: ...

Tam: Anzu? I'm coming in.

Anz: ...

Tam: So you were here. Then give me a reply. Wait, she's reading...

Anz: That's...

Tam: Anzu? Your face is bright red, are you okay?

Anz: ...Hau.

Tam: ...What's that you're reading? Lemme see...

Tam: As Kazuya pulled away his lips... He reached for the button from Kotomi's shirt. "No more than this..."

Tam: ...!

Tam: ...W-W-Wh-! What are you reading!? Anzu!?

Anz: Uwaaah!? H-How long have you been here!?

Tam: That doesn't matter right now! What are you reading!? ...What is this!!?

Anz: Just a normal romance novel!

Tam: W-What part of this is normal!? They're doing the stuff... after a... k-kiss, don't they!!?

Anz: S-Sure but... If it's with the person you love... I think it's normal.

Tam: No, it's not...!! This extreme... stuff!

Anz: Jeez... Why are you so worked up? It's just a regular novel.

Tam: But you're in middle school! R-Romance gotta be more wholesome...

Anz: The bookstore wouldn't have sold it to me if it was that bad, but they did so it's fine.

Tam: Uh... B-But...

Anz: If you're going to bother me while I'm trying to read, get out. I was getting to the good part.

Tam: No, wait, Anzu! Don't push! Our discussion isn't over!

Anz: I don't care what you have to say, I won't stop reading. See you tomorrow.

Tam: Stop, Anzu!?

Anz: Jeez, Tamacchi-senpai. Getting nosy over the weirdest things.

[Marugame Castle classroom]

Wak: We've returned to the classroom as Tamako asked, but she's nowhere to be seen.

Hin: It seemed to be a rather grave subject, do you think it's about Anzu-san?

Tak: Since An-chan isn't here, it's probably a secret from her.

Chi: Whatever it is, I want to get it over with...

Tam: Sorry... for making you wait. I was at the bookstore.

Wak: The bookstore?

Tam: Yes. This is an emergency meeting about this book. It could very well impact Anzu's future...

Tak: Is this book that big of a deal?

Hin: But all I see is a regular romance novel. It's nothing new for Anzu-san to read these.

Tam: Tama doesn't read them, so I don't know what's normal. But there's some... extreme stuff in there...

Tam: How do I say this, Anzu was reading it yesterday, and I thought it was too early... for this stuff.

Chi: So you went ahead and bought it... You could've just described it...

Tam: Do you think Tama can describe this!? I'd die you know!? From embarrassment!!

Wak: Is it truly this bad...?

Tam: S-So anyway, try reading this. The part between the bookmarks...

Hin: Very well. We will be reading it.

Wak: Uuh... I-I've read it. Or seen it rather. What is... this...

Tak: Wakaba-chan, your ears are burning red.

Wak: S-So are yours...

Tam: So you all read it... Now you must understand the reason why Tama called this emergency meeting.

Tam: I'll say it bluntly, Tama doesn't think it's good for Anzu. For her sentimental education?

Tam: Let me hear your opinions...

Hin: Anzu-san is an eager reader, I don't think you can take her hobby away from her without major difficulties.

Hin: Why not start by observing? It is only fiction, it will not be a direct bad influence on her.

Wak: No you can't! We're only middle schoolers. It's way too early for this d-depraved...!

Hin: It would appear it was also too early for Wakaba-chan.

Hin: Shoujo mangas these days are becoming more and more extreme. To draw a line between acceptable or not would be exceedingly difficult.

Tam: Mggh... Hinata is for tolerating it. Uum, how should we deal with this...


Crusade for freedom - 3

[Marugame Castle classroom]

Hin: I do understand your feelings. However Anzu-san would surely not take fondly to having it forbidden entirely.

Tak: I don't want for you two to fight.

Hin: Tamako-san, what kind of influence are you worried this could cause?

Tam: What kind... I don't know how to say it. Just you know...

Chi: ...That she may start imitating her novel.

Tam: Wha-!?

Tak: A-An-chan would... do stuff like that!?

Wak: Like the contents of this novel... this far!?

Tam: Urggh... Tama's not having this! I made up my mind!! Thanks for your advice everyone.

Hin: Um... Tamako-san. Do not be so hasty...

Tam: Tama has to protect Anzu's future! Alright, see ya later!

Chi: Is that really okay...

Hin: I'm worried...

[Anzu's room]

Tam: Mmh... That's too extreme too. This too! There's a lot more than I expected...

Anz: Jeez, Tamacchi-senpai. You let yourself inside my room again. What are you even doing?

Tam: From this day, no more l-lewd novels. Confiscated! Tama's confiscating them!

Anz: Eh... Confiscated? W-What are you talking about?

Tam: I'm doing this for your own good, try to understand. I've already taken a few.

Anz: !? You sneakily took them from my shelf!? Give them back, Tamacchi-senpai!

Tam: I will once you grow up. Tama will hold onto them until then.

Anz: ...Uuh, you're mean. ...This must be... a nightmare... Uuuh...

Tam: Urk... C-Crying won't help. Tama will have no pity this time.

Anz: You're going to burn my precious books! Like in Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451"!

Tam: Burn? Bradbury...? What is that?

Anz: If this is your objective, I will fight. ...This is a crusade for freedom!

Anz: I'll get back the friends you stole from me...!

Tam: Ah, wait. Wait, Anzu!


Crusade for freedom - 4

[Tamako's room]

Anz: Not here... I thought I would find them right away by coming to her room. Where did she hide my books?

Tam: I'm not gonna tell you that easily. Tama's serious.

Anz: So you don't care about what happens to this?

Tam: What're you gonna do to my road bike!?

Anz: It's a secret... You wouldn't want that? Because this is what you're doing to me.

Tam: ...Urk, Tama's thinking about your future.

Anz: So why are you being mean to me!?

Tam: ...I'm not!

Anz: ...You are!

Tam: I'm not!

Anz: You are!

Anz: ...Then how is this for my sake?

Tam: Well...

Anz: I won't talk to you until you tell me the reason why you're hiding my books... Okay?

Tam: T-That's... dirty, Anzu!?

Anz: ...

Tam: I just... don't think this shameful stuff is good for you. So...

Tam: Tama... doesn't want you to become a pervert!

Anz: ...Eh?

Tam: Because if you keep reading this stuff, um... you're gonna try it...

Anz: Are you serious...?

Tam: Yeah... I wouldn't do this if not.

Anz: You're making a huge mistake, Tamacchi-senpai. I'm an experienced and hardened reader.

Anz: I would never mix up fiction and reality!

Anz: Which is why even if I keep reading them, I will never turn depraved!

Tam: R-Really?

Anz: How about trying to read all the books you're hiding if you don't trust me?

Anz: Ah, I just had an idea. If you turn into a pervert after this, I'll stop reading them.

Tam: Tama's never reading this! Auuh, sorry... You can have them back!

Anz: It's fine, you can have them. Give me your impressions once in a while! Fufu, have fun.

Tam: N-No, Tama will never read these!
