So much has changed since her days as an apprentice blue shrine maiden—her name, of course, but also her height, as she’s now twenty-five centimeters taller than she used to be! More and more books have been printed, and a lot of things have happened without her knowing. Lutz and Tuuli are engaged now?! What?!
     
    This second volume of Bookworm’s Short Story Collection is packed with previously unpublished chapters that expand upon an already extensive world.
