0666 Lucy M./Side Stories/English

## Part 1

**Lucy M.**:
Oh my. What ever could this leaflet be...?

**Lucy M.**:
Hmmm. A new library has been opened...

**Lucy M.**:
... I might as well take a look.

A Library in Yokohama──

**Lucy M.**:
So this is the library? There sure are a lot of books here.

**Lucy M.**:
Let's see, what shall I read first...?

**Young Boy**:
It's you...

**Lucy M.**:
...?!

**Lucy M.**:
Why are you here?!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Why...? Well, I'm not sure why you're asking...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
I'm here to do research for the Agency... And you?

**Lucy M.**:
Hmph, that is none of your business.

**Lucy M.**:
I just walked away...

**Lucy M.**:
Well, never mind him. Today I need only relax and enjoy these books.

**Lucy M.**:
I know. Maybe I should read that book that I have been wanting to read!

**Lucy M.**:
A library as large as this one is sure to have it.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
... Huh?!

**Lucy M.**:
What? Is that the time already...?!

**Lucy M.**:
I was so immersed in my book.

**Lucy M.**:
Anyhow, who knew that libraries could be this interesting.

**Lucy M.**:
Perhaps I will come back sometime soon.

The Next Day──

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Oh, it's you...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ahaha, what a coincidence.

**Lucy M.**:
...?!

**Lucy M.**:
... You again? You must have a lot of time on your hands at the Agency.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
I have the day off today, so I'm here to relax... What about you?

**Lucy M.**:
...

The Day After That──

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Hey. ... What are you reading today?

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you while you're reading.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
I was thinking of borrowing some books too and was wondering if you had any recommendations... But I'll go now.

**Lucy M.**:
Wait one moment.

**Lucy M.**:
Did I say that you were interrupting me?

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Huh?

**Lucy M.**:
I do not mind telling you. About what I have been reading.

**Lucy M.**:
... I've been reading this.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ah, that book...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
You used to hide and read this when you were in the orphanage...

**Lucy M.**:
It was hard to make out the letters... In the moonlight.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
That's right, and you were worried you'd get caught by someone. But even then, you were so absorbed in it...

**Lucy M.**:
... That's enough. You can go now.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ah, right. I should head back to the Agency after I borrow this book.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
We keep running into each other lately. Let's talk again next time.

**Lucy M.**:
Huh?! Why would I want to talk to you...?!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
You should keep it down, this is a library.

**Lucy M.**:
The nerve of some people, ugh.

**Lucy M.**:
... Well, I suppose we could chat if I feel like it.

**Lucy M.**:
...!

**Lucy M.**:
This book...

## Part 2

**Lucy M.**:
"The Guide to Giving Gifts to Friends"...

**Lucy M.**:
Are friends supposed to give each other gifts so casually...?

**Lucy M.**:
I wonder if... Anne would be happy to receive a gift from me.

**Lucy M.**:
Flowers... Dolls...

**Lucy M.**:
Hmmm... That's not it... This is no good either.

**Lucy M.**:
... That reminds me, I wonder if he... is here today.

**Lucy M.**:
Hey.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Oh? I wasn't expecting you to talk to me first.

**Lucy M.**:
I came here today to think of a gift for Anne.

**Lucy M.**:
Help me find a book that may prove useful.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
A gift...?

**Lucy M.**:
That's right, a gift.

**Lucy M.**:
I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask for your opinion. Just to give me some ideas.

**Lucy M.**:
You should be honored!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ahaha...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Right. But if that's all you need, let's look for one together.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
Embroidery... Anne may like something like this.

**Lucy M.**:
It's not a bad idea coming from you!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Great. I hope you'll be able to make something she'll really like.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
I don't mind... making one for you too.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Huh?

**Lucy M.**:
I said, I don't mind making a gift for you too!

**Lucy M.**:
I can't just give Anne any old thing...

**Lucy M.**:
So I said, I don't mind making you something for practice!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
You mean it?

**Lucy M.**:
It's only for practice, okay? That much should suffice for you.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Haha, I look forward to it.

**Lucy M.**:
This may be my first time... making something for someone.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
I have to try my best.

## Part 3

**Lucy M.**:
I said that in the spur of the moment, but... If I'm going to do it, I cannot make a mess of it.

**Lucy M.**:
First, I must decide on the design.

**Lucy M.**:
Something like this for Anne... Because she likes cute things...

**Lucy M.**:
This pattern is so adorable! I'm sure Anne will love it.

**Lucy M.**:
Yes, I suppose this will do...

**Lucy M.**:
Now, for his one...

**Lucy M.**:
Hmmm... Let's see.

**Lucy M.**:
For him... this pattern would be good.

**Lucy M.**:
Now that I have made my decisions, I must get on with it!

Cafe Uzumaki──

**Lucy M.**:
Ouch. Ugh... I pricked my finger on the needle again.

**Lucy M.**:
Umm... I think I do this here...?

**Lucy M.**:
I wonder why this isn't looking like the example in the book...

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
This part should go like this... Yes, that looks better than before.

**Lucy M.**:
Next, I have to do this...

**Lucy M.**:
...! Oh no, my break is almost over.

**Lucy M.**:
I shall do the rest tomorrow.

**Lucy M.**:
I'm picking up from where I left off yesterday...

**Lucy M.**:
... I wonder if I can even do the embroidery in this book...

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
I didn't prick my fingers as many times as I did yesterday... I must be improving!

**Lucy M.**:
If it were the old me, I would never believe it...

**Lucy M.**:
That making something for someone can be this much fun.

**Lucy M.**:
Alright, I will stop there for today...

**Lucy M.**:
I'm almost done.

**Lucy M.**:
Thanks, Boss.

**Lucy M.**:
My break is over, so I have to work hard now.

**Lucy M.**:
...! I did it...!

**Lucy M.**:
Fufu... It's rather cute.

**Lucy M.**:
I'm sure Anne will be thrilled by this!

**Lucy M.**:
... And he will like it too, right?

**Lucy M.**:
Ah! It's already this late!

**Lucy M.**:
Sorry, Boss!

**Lucy M.**:
I have to hurry and clean up...!

**Lucy M.**:
I know I was on my break, but I was a little too absorbed in it...

## Part 4

**Lucy M.**:
Anne, I have something I would like to give you today.

**Lucy M.**:
Will you accept it?

**Lucy M.**:
I embroidered a ribbon for you. I hope you like it.

**Lucy M.**:
You like playing, so I picked a toy pattern... And I thought it would be cute, so I used a book for reference.

**Lucy M.**:
I know! I'll tie the ribbon on for you so you can see.

**Lucy M.**:
There we go... Yes, it's perfect.

**Lucy M.**:
What do you think...?

**Lucy M.**:
...!

**Lucy M.**:
You like it?!

**Lucy M.**:
Fufu, I am glad. You know, I worked very hard on it to make you happy.

**Lucy M.**:
... Anne?

**Lucy M.**:
Ahh, my fingers...? They're fine, really. I just pricked them a few times.

**Lucy M.**:
I put bandages on them, so they will heal right away.

**Lucy M.**:
Fufu, you are very kind, Anne.

**Lucy M.**:
Hey, Anne. Next time, I will give you something even more wonderful!

**Lucy M.**:
Yes... I wonder what would be good. I would like to dress you in even cuter clothes...

**Lucy M.**:
But you do get quite lonely, so perhaps a doll would be better, Anne.

**Lucy M.**:
I will definitely make you happy next time too.

**Lucy M.**:
... Alright, next is this gift.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
Ah!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Ahhh!

**Lucy M.**:
Why are you so surprised?!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
S-sorry. You gave me a fright...

**Lucy M.**:
Seriously, how long do you think I have been waiting for you?

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
W-waiting for me...? We didn't make plans to meet, did we?

**Lucy M.**:
B-be quiet!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Shhh! You can't yell in a library.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Huh...? Ah! Did you finish it?

**Lucy M.**:
Fufu, Anne was very pleased with her gift!

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
That's great.

**Lucy M.**:
And now... Here.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Huh?

**Lucy M.**:
I told you... That I would make something for you too.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Wow, you really did?! Is it okay for me to accept this?

**Lucy M.**:
I made it for you, so of course it is.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Thanks.

**Lucy M.**:
... Hmph.

**Lucy M.**:
I won't forgive you if you lose it.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Of course. Really, thank you.

**Lucy M.**:
... Help me out again next time I give Anne a gift.

**Nakajima Atsushi**:
Sure! If that's okay with you.

**Lucy M.**:
\*sigh\*... I was able to give it to him.

**Lucy M.**:
I thought it would be easier than that, but it was kind of difficult.

**Lucy M.**:
But both he... and Anne were very pleased... I think.

**Lucy M.**:
...

**Lucy M.**:
Fufu... Making things is not so bad after all.

**Lucy M.**:
Perhaps I will go back to the library to look for more ideas.

Fin.
