Lesson 093 Where’s my dictionary…?
Where’s my dictionary…?
Lex: OK, Kana’s going to the library. She’ll probably open me soon. I’ll help Kana like RoboCorpus helped the others.
Kana: I cannot stand Saya. I should probably prepare in case she fails to do it again. Where’s my dictionary…?
Lex: Now!
Kana: Oh, there’s a special article in here. Wow, this will be very useful for our report. Saya has to see this. No, I’m not going to help her.
Lex: Elementary, my dear Watson. Go to Saya’s house and show it to her.
Kana: Who’s there? Is there a voice coming from the dictionary…? This is weird. But I guess I should…. yes. That’s what I’m going to do.
Lex: It worked!
