Plot
At the Grimoire High School, the Silverfish girl Shii-Mii is eating the pages of a dictionary in the back of the school library. Shii-Mii doesn't think that the book tastes very good, although she doesn't mind it too much and already happily wants to eat the next book. Before she can do that, however, the human library assistant Suzuki Honma smacks her with a book, angrily pointing out that he's told her not to eat the books many times before.

With mock embarrassment, Shii-Mii apologizes and says that she has decided, to only eat the old books, which would be thrown away anyway. Suzuki strictly clarifiest hat Shii-Mii isn't the one who has to decide that. Still sighing, Suzuki hands Shii-Mii a wad of paper, to her confusion, explaining that it is unbleached, naturally sourced, traditionally made paper, Japanese style. A little embarrassed, Suzuki explains that it's not good for Shii-Mii to eat this old gross books in the library, so he wants to give her the paper instead. He adds that she doesn't have to worry and she can just ask him if she needs new paper.

Shii-Mii thinks for a moment, but then she giggles cheekily and bites into another library book instead of the paper. As Suzuki scoulds her and tells her to stop, they are watched by the group of students, who thinks to themselves that the two are cute together. Unnoticed by everyone, however, Shii-Mii is observed by Miia and Papi, with Miia holding a newspaper in front of her face as camouflage and Papi is holding a bird book (although the Harpy is holding the book upset down).

Miia says that Shii-Mii is probably eating the books on purpose, and when Papi wonders, Miia explains to her that Shii-Mii wants Suzuki to pay attention to her by chewing on the library books. Papi keeps asking Miia how she wants to know this, but Miia just says that Papi is too young to understand this (although the Harpy being her own age). Miia refocuses on the task and triumphantly says that all they have to do is is keeping monitoring Shii-Mii to find out if she really is Arbatel in disguise or not.

However, Papi still doesn't understand this, whereupon Miia explains again, annoyed, that Shii-Mii wants to get Suzuki's attention. However, Papi interrups the Lamia, which makes it clear that the Harpy is asking something else entirely. Pai asks why Shii-Mii should be Arbatel since Shii-Mii eats books and Arbatel as a Grimoire is technically a book. Confused, Papi continues to ask if that is theoretically cannibalism. Miia falters at this thought and becomes insecure, slowly realizing that maybe Shii-Mii isn't Arbatel.
