"Eh... But Hope's not finished yet..." 

"Oh? okay..." The shopkeeper gave them a funny look but decided to overlook their bizarre behaviour since this was not his first encounter with eccentric customers. 

"Well then, please hand over that book. I need to register the book number before you purchase it."
