Pardon me for interrupting, but I have something that needs to be said.

[ He's polite enough, standing out in the common area, but Nanami has a very serious expression on. Extra serious today, since he's holding one of the sad, worn real paper books in his hand. Considering he's made his appearance resemble a suit, he could pass for someone's stern PA. ]

The library on the premises is in need of more care, but it's still functional. The books in this world are mostly digital, so items like this should be considered rare specimens. Even though they aren't common in daily use, they're valuable you should look at them as precious antiques. Treat them as such. And YET-

[ He opens the book to reveal some heavy line scrawls over the page. Someone was apparently treating this as free paper for doodle practice! ...or map-making, sure, but doodle practice to him. ]

This item is an example of traditional printing methods that began over a thousand years ago. In this age, these techniques are already practically lost arts.

I would deeply appreciate if everyone would respect the library and leave it intact. I understand that the appearance isn't very inviting, but I will attend to that part personally. Please don't make things difficult for me.

[ Okay, maybe the PA of some gangster. Nanami does nod, though. ]

Thank you for cooperating.

[ And now with that out of the way, still riding a very serious wave: ]

Itadori-kun. I need a word in private.

I assume you'd be pursuing some sort of library restoration project. If that is the case, I would like to volunteer.

( It's not as though Kiritsugu doesn't have his own reasons for so freely volunteering his services. It had been his intent to scour the material there to find any information of value, anyway. But he can appreciate Nanami's sentiment, being something of a voracious reader, himself. )

I am. There are still good books kept there and it could be a good place to visit if it were properly maintained.

I would appreciate any help you are willing to offer. My name is Nanami Kento.

[ He knows the books aren't really full of information anyone wants, but he has a soft spot for stories. ]

Team Revelation, right? I think I've seen you around.

( Kiritsugu may not be the most socially inclined, he's just annoyingly observant and chronically online. )

Emiya Kiritsugu.

( You know, the guy in Revelation haus known for having the flavor palette of a 12 year old, and listening to depressing music from his dorm all day. )

[stresspoint]

That's right. I haven't actually seen you, Emiya-san.

[ It's okay, he can assume some of his teammates are trolls living in hermit caves... And he's honestly too strict about personal space to invade anyone else's to interrupt him. ]

I had assumed you were engaged in important business. But if it's not too much trouble, I'll gladly accept your assistance.

[ And maybe learn a bit more about his mystery dorm mate. The guy seems as aloof as Megumi. ]

[originbullets]

( Funny that. Kiri and Megumi have been making fast friends. )

It's quite alright. I could use the distraction, frankly.

( The alternative, of course, is moping about the base and dwelling on Mage Bullshit™️. Renovating the library at least sounds like a productive use of his time. )

[stresspoint]

[ He would not be surprised at all to hear that. Megumi is a well behaved and easy to get along with kid as far as he's ever known. He should make more friends too. ]

As long as you don't mind some labor. It's still in bad shape.

[ And with how low the priority is for paper books, no one has been trying to change that. It seems to be used as a free scrap source more than an actual library, which bothers him on principle. ]
