Eiji took a last few swipes with the broom, then looked out of the doorway at the street. "Whew. Just in time!"

Finding somewhere to work part-time really wasn't a problem for someone used to moving from place to place like he was. And weirdly enough, the owner of this bookstore had seemed kind of excited to see him. Something about interdimensional whatsits. If he was expecting Eiji to sprout extra eyes or antennae, though, he was in for some disappointment -- Eiji was 100 percent average human.

"This is a bookstore," said Eiji, still smiling his professional smile. What a precocious little girl. "Maybe you want the police station?"

She'd smack him if he could hear that. She doesn't look THAT young. At least her early twenties!

"It couldn't possibly be any less stacked with information than THIS place is! Ho ho ho."

"See you later, then," Eiji said, giving her a little wave.
