What: Reading trashy books
When: Afternoon, after class, the day when the kids went exploring at night.
Where: The municipal library near the school


But most people would feel hard pressed to believe that there was any "knowledge" in these trashy books. Everything from actual mythology books, to silly magazines about UFOs, ESP and the supernatural were stashed on the table that they'd set aside for this "most imperative of studies."

Takeo wondered if this is what those "supernatural clubs" in other schools across the country were all about. If so, he seriously hoped they had found magic scrolls, like he had (and currently had in his backpack) because if they didn't, well, then it would be terribly embarrassing for them.

At the time he was waiting for Tsuchi to return with some more magazines that he'd commanded the boy to get. His criteria was "as new-agey as possible."

This command gave Tsuchi a direction in which to search for something he had never thought he would be using. He was wondering by now if he was being watched, bringing all these magazines back to the table. For they were stacked up to his chest. In the course of a half-hour he had acquired thin magazines, glossy periodicals, pamphlets, newspapers, and even an old beaten magazine with a crack in its spine running down it. At any rate, his arms were going limp. Then, as soon as he got to the table, put the books down.

His friend was still searching for information in a book of mythology, causing his interest to go up.

"I don't know how to picture you looking at this stuff," he said. "And gods know, I've been thinking about it for a while."
