"Hmm? Rita, you know this book?"
Kamisato Ayaka was very surprised. What did Rita mean by that? What did she mean by... it had already gone on sale?

"Oh, it's like this. I quite enjoy reading light novels, and I know an editor at Yae Publishing House, so I've learned about some books that haven't gone on sale yet."

"Too?"
Rita noticed Ayaka's choice of words.
"I... I read them too."
