4★ Shizuru Kaiba - Memories Collected by Sound (Part 2)

Noah: (I thought it’d be pretty easy to find, but I looked everywhere and couldn’t find a single store that sells a cassette player…)

(They’re obviously not sold in the big stores, I couldn’t find one at the electronics shop or even the thrift stores. …. Where can I even find one?)

(I’m kinda tired… I’ll take a small break for now and think what I should do next)

(.... Ah, it’s Kaiba-san. And he’s on the phone talking to someone)

Shizuru: Yeah yeah. It’s a player that can play cassette tapes. Do you know anyone that has one?

—Mmm right, okay then. Just let me know if you find one.

Noah: (Kaiba-san is searching by asking his acquaintances for help)

(If he already has the skill and connections to do it on his own, why would he ask for my help?)

Shizuru: —Mhm. I already thought of asking my other followers too, could you help get the world in your end.

Sigh….

Ah, great work out there.
Did you find one?

Noah: I can’t find one at all… I’ve looked everywhere I could think of.

Shizuru: I see.

Noah: How about you?

Shizuru: Nothing on my end either. I wish there was another way to find it.

Oh! Speak of the devil, I got a reply just now.

“There’s a ‘Junk Shop’ in the back alley of the entertainment district that sells a lot of scraps. Have you tried checking it out?”

“The owner’s name is Saburo-san. I heard he’s selective with his customers so be careful” they said.

Noah: Sure, maybe we can find one in the junk shop.

But where did you get that reply from?

Shizuru: It’s from a girl I met at the bar, she works at customer services. She knows a lot.

Noah: Interesting.

Shizuru: Okay, let’s get going.

Noah: Would he sell it to us?

Shizuru: It’s okay, no need to worry. Just leave it to me.

There should be a store here somewhere…

Noah: Ah, is that it?

Even though they’re junk, they’re all displayed nicely and in good condition.

Shizuru: Hold on, lemme check first.

Here it is! A cassette player!

Noah: Alright!

Shizuru: Okay, I’ll go pay for it.

Noah: (The only thing left is whether he’d sell it to us or not….)

Shizuru: Excuse me–

Saburo: No can do.

Noah: He hasn't even said anything yet?!

Shizuru: Seriously…
