Ayane Sarashiki/Plot

Chapter 9
Ayane Sarashiki makes her official debut, meeting Otonashi in her section of The Guild. She becomes excited to the point of speaking really fast and ultimately overwhelming Otonashi with her vast knowledge and eager to talk. He makes attempts to converse with her and to slow her down but it only feeds into her sensical rambling even more before he stops her, raising his voice in order to get her to quiet down. As he began to berate her, he stops himself and they both apologize to eachother for the reasons stated above.

Since it's been a while since she helped someone, she admits she has come off too strong and the conversation deviates to what she did before, finding out that she used to be an advisor for Hinata. She elaborates on her role and what their location is before they trade names, however she asks him to call her by her first name, Ayane and they continue where they left off regarding the gear he was supposed to pick out.

After finally picking his first set of gear, they set up an appoint to see eachother at lunch time the following day to get most of the gear selection out of the way, which results in Otonashi receiving night vision, helmet, radio, pouches, backpack, and first aid kit.
