I only realized this today, but the other bookstore worker that appears in the omake is Furusawa (from the boy who "lives" in the apartment). I never made that connection before. But it explains why she's talking about ghosts and why Gotou-san is labeled as 'newcomer'.
I didn't mean to say that...Excuse me.Did you meet Gotou-kun?I'm terrified of that.Nee-chan said such a weird thing in a loud voice."Thank you for going out of you way, but"Beautiful,"It must have been a bother."Welcome!He's here.Here. You talked about it before.I hate it...You're talking nonsense.Kagami-san.Why?"If you had told me, I would have"His friend...Th-Thank you for going out of you way, but...AndRyou-kun, you're leaving first right?BzzzTrouble...Who is it from?It's Gotou-kun...So Gotou-kun has an older sister.Maybe she never existed from the very start.First, I have to wait for a reply to my text.At the bookstoreI don't understand your feelings at all.Ah"Thank you."Nee-chan, I told you, she's not my girlfriend.Ok.Are my bangs sticking up?Ah, maybe he's over by his friend...CashierI just thoughtHere's the book."And even causing your friend trouble"..."I'm happy."Glance...I'm also kind of interested in it, so if it's ok with you, I'd like to borrow it after...HahI made you wait...Ryou-kun, do you want a bag?No.Where's the book?It seemed like a waste to come home.Is that so?Alice.If I told you the truth, I thought you'd cry.I'm your "main character".So me being more honest than you...Alice in Peripheraland
Last PartI wonder if I can get closer to him.Did I get here too early?He said that he ordered it.Beautiful...Please wait a moment.Kagami-san?I really enjoyed it.-nk you!!
-ppy!I wonder if I'll get a text soon.Do your best!I'm not sad at all.Tell me, Alice.Hurry up and send "I love you. Please go out with me."Maybe she remembered something she had to do? Maybe she just simply forgot to bring the book home?Rewrite it.It's because of that that the one you love ran away.It came.Hey hey!Alice in Peripheraland
The EndI hate lying.You're so honest.The book... Is in my bag. I'll show it to you later.Ah, I can't wait until after school.AhIt would be a guy.Ah...Did you talk?Tell me Alice.This delusionI... Didn't do my best today.I'm typing a reply, so be quiet.What!?I feel like I get a little stronger.I want to make up with him.SaveI wonder when a reply will come, Alice.Alice in PeripheralandNo.I don't get what's the worst about that.She's cute,Cute,You're lying.You drew me, right?You told him your name, right.Yeah. It is.Do your best, Alice.I'm looking foward to it.I-It must have been a bother...If you had told me, I would have gotten it myself...A-And I even caused your friend...I put the book in a bag, so give it to your girlfriend.Do your best.I'm the worst.Yeah.I wasn't crying.Of course, those look like my own words.Be honest with what you think.And then get even closer, Alice.I was thinking the same thing.Is Alice mad?But that's what you wrote in your short story.I don't know anything except what you write.I wonder if you'll meet again, Alice.I only just sent it.AliceOk.UmmmSorry, actually... she's not a friend.Ah, yes.Is very honest, direct and innocent.We left the bookstore and talked a bit...Is impossible.I want to get closer to him.What are you crying over?You haven't finished sorted out your own feelings.Calm down, Alice.Gotou-kun?Ok.The way she always calls me by my name at the end of a sentence makes it look like I'm signing it.Alice."Ryou-kun"......Huh?Welcome home.AliceAnd recognizing my weak emotions.Thank you!! I'm happy!I'm terrified of being honestYeah.And then I would fell really sad too.So much more, so much more than me...I wonder if I'll get to meet him tomorrow. I want to meet him again.I am you, Alice.I had a terrible attitude, and didn't even accept the book. I'm sure he hates me.UmmmmSo, Alice, why were you crying?That's a lie.But first... I'll apologize.Aren't you going to draw the manga today, Alice?SendI sent it.I wonder...Has a reply text come yet?How about you?(Delusion-chan)And without doing anything else, I came home.AliceAren't you just jumping to the wrong conclusion?Heh.Yeah. They don't look alike at all.What are you talking about? I don't love him or anything like that we haven't ever talked about anything important and I'm not planning on going out with him or anything likeThis delusionEvery time she calls me Alice,I'm sure she hates me.He says that his older sister said some weird things, but please don't pay any attention to them...That's a lie. You were.Might one day disappear.How should I reply...I see.Even though we finally agreed to meet.Don't call her Alice.I'm looking forward to the rest of the story, Alice.If that's what you think, then obviously I think so too.Let's continue to get along, Alice.Ah, but I can't blame someone else.I guess that's true...In my works, there are lots of things which show up that are no longer around these days.You just go on and on and write whatever, so I can't figure out what you want to say.Anyway, I bet that you said something unnecessary, like always.I don't love her.Just what will happen if you lie to yourself.It's way too late, but thank you for all of your thoughts.Do you know what minidiscs or loose socks, or groovy are? What do today's youth say instead of groovy?If you feel inclined do so, please tell a middle age man.Don't lie. I'm the main character. So I know.
