Background and History
Hiyori meets Keima Katsuragi and Elsie in the school library when Keima retrieves a book she cannot reach. She offers to answer Elsie’s questions about books and accepts Keima’s focus on games as something he loves. Her response makes Keima reconsider his initial assumption that she is a conventional “literary girl” 9.
After Elsie shows her Keima’s game walkthroughs, Hiyori begins reading them for their stories. She accepts Keima’s invitation to join his study group, where she helps tutor Elsie. Keima’s mission card records her affection for him at 10% after their first meeting and 20% after she discovers his writing 10 20 27 39.
Hiyori tries a game Keima recommends and invites him to a café to discuss it. There, she offers to lend him novels she has carried in her bag in the hope of finding someone with whom she could discuss them. Keima declines the books but tells her that meeting her has encouraged him to read more. After they discuss novels they both know, her recorded affection rises from 37 to 50 41 47 48.
