In episode 2 of A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd season 1, titled Lost and Found, Kakei, the library club's advisor, assigns a retrieval task to Kyoutarou Kakei, the main protagonist, and his friends. The task is to find a book that went missing from the school library. The book is a rare and valuable first-edition, and it is essential for Kyoutarou's master's research. Kyoutarou and his friends embark on a quest to find the stolen book.

They start their investigation from the library, tracking down all the people who had borrowed the book. However, their search comes to a standstill when they hit a dead end. Kyoutarou notices a student named Sakuraba, who seems to be a loner and keeps to himself. He catches Sakuraba with what he believes is the missing book. Still, he soon learns that Sakuraba was actually a decoy and that they were no closer to finding the stolen book.

The group continues their search, and eventually, their leads take them to a shopping district. In the midst of their search, the group is approached by Sakuraba, who had been trailing them all this time. Zakuraba says that he couldn't just stay quiet after seeing the group's dedication and passion for finding the book. He offers them a new lead by telling them about a group of rare book dealers in the area.

The group is hesitant to go to such an unsavory place, but their desire to find the book overpowers their fears. They infiltrate the dealers and find themselves in a dangerous situation. The dealers demand the group's book as a trade for the stolen book, but Kyoutarou and his friends refuse, and a scuffle ensues. At that moment, a mysterious girl named Shirasaki appears and saves the group from the dealers.

Shirasaki tells them about the stolen book's true value and warns them about the danger it poses if it falls into the wrong hands. She also reveals that she has been following the group and affirms that their hearts are pure, making her trust them enough to reveal to them where the book is. As their search comes to a close, they learn the truth about the book's disappearance and uncover some unexpected twists.
