Book 1: Chapter 4 (2)
For several hours, he had been investigating things in the library. Somehow the library was closed when the sun was a little high in the evening. When Shin confirmed it with the menu screen, the time showed 4:50. Even though he didn’t know whether the time was accurate, Shin thought that every city hall and post office had their own way to keep track of the time.

(T/N: *a bite-size marinated pieces of beef, seafood, or chicken on skewers)
“This yakitori tastes good even in a different world…but did I buy too much?”
He took out a freshly cooked skewer from a bag while smiling wryly. He bought four yakitori. It was a quantity that could be said was too much to eat before dinner.
