Plum Blossoms: Shion Mineyama - 1
Proofreading: Peace
Fumi: 'Scuse me....
Mineyama, you there~? If you are, get out here this instant!
...Though I mean, it’s pointless to even ask; she’s obviously here. She’s something like the library’s “lord”, so...
Hiyono: Huff, wheeze... Aah?
C-Chieeef? It’s not like I mind how weirdly energetic you’ve been recently, but...
It’s frowned upon to sprint at full speed in the hallways, so they’ll definitely scold youuuu...!
Huff... Whew, I really need to build up my stamina...
At this rate, I’ll never catch up to youuuu!
Fumi: Yeah. Don’t just hole yourself up somewhere and write till you drop, try to live more healthily.
Within a healthy body should also dwell a healthy mind!
When you exercise, blood is circulated through your brain. Your head clears up, so you might write some good articles after~ ♪
Anyway, getting back on topic—
Mineyama, I told you to get your butt out here! I’m here about the proofreading I asked you to do!
Hiyono: (“Proofreading”...? That’s when someone goes through a manuscript to check for errors... right?)
(Come to think of it, I did hear that we were going to receive help from someone outside the club.)
(Is that “proofreader” in the library right now?)
(They were referred to as the library’s “lord” earlier... They’re probably quite a bookworm~)
(It makes sense that they’ll be the one checking the text, then.)
(Proofreading, huh... Just the thought gives me butterflies.)
(It’s a different kind of nervousness compared to how it normally feels to see a reader enjoy our paper~ ♪)
(Chief’s always leaping ahead to try new things... She’s so cool...)
(Though it’s because of that that I’m constantly being thrown for a loop—...Hm?)
Shion: My, if it isn’t Midori-kun.
May I request that you refrain from making such a racket?
Really, not yelling in the library is basic etiquette, isn’t it?
Fumi: If I don’t yell, you’ll never snap out of your reading daze and respond to me.
Anyway, did you hear a single word I said? I’m here for the proofread article; if you have it, give it!
Shion: Yes, yes. I understand, but it truly isn’t that urgent. Really, aren’t you a little too impatient, Midori-kun?
Fumi: Hmph, you’re just too laid-back. Seriously, it’s like dealing with a grandma.
Hiyono: (Eeep...?)
(Chief and, um... Mineyama-san? Seem quite close... What kind of relationship do they have?)
(Are they... friends? I’m glad that even the Chief of all people managed to make a friend... ♪)
Fumi: What the hell do you mean by that!?
Hiyono: ...Eek!?
Shion: Like I said, please don’t yell... And I mean what I said; I can’t give the article back to you just yet.
I gave it a cursory look and caught some typos and other minor errors...
But the parts with information that requires expertise are written too vaguely.
I was going to carefully review the relevant documents that would provide that information, but I ran out of time.
Fumi: Quit making excuses right at the deadline, you sound like my grandpa!
It’s fine to just scratch the surface when it comes to writing about technical stuff!
We’re not writing a professional paper! It’s fine to just say what’s relevant, this is a newspaper article for Pete’s sake!
You’ve always been so pointlessly particular!
It’s fine if you just fix the typos! We won’t make it in time to print it at this rate, so give the article back already!
Shion: I politely refuse. If by some chance you end up publishing false information, what will you do?
If the quality of your newspaper drops sharply, won't that ruin your reputation?
Fumi: I’m saying I don’t have any obligation to go along with your self-righteous attitude!
If we postponed or stopped publishing our newspaper, that’s what would ruin our reputation!
Shion: I can’t say I agree. Unlike the data of your beloved e-books, something you’ve printed even once remains semipermanent.
You should know the weight that printed words hold.
Fumi: You’re just stuck in the Stone Age!
Shion: How regretful. As science has advanced, our lives have become more comfortable, but as a result, a great many things have been lost.
Rather than evolution, this is more akin to degradation.
Someone like you, who has forgotten the weight that every letter holds, is a disgrace to all ladies of literature.
Fumi: Are you saying only girls who wear their hair in braids and read moldy old books in the corner of the library are worthy of being ladies of literature?
It's a way of life, not some kinda cosplay!
Shion: It is a way of life for me as well, naturally. However, if you are speaking of one’s soul...
If a lady of literature loses their essence of being, what more are they but skin and bones?
Hiyono: (H-Huh? Why... When did this turn into an argument...!?)
(Are they... not friends? They really don’t seem to get along!)
(W-What relationship do they even haaaave~!?)
