It's been a week since the anomaly ended. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After cleaning up the corpses, as well as the bloodstains, and cleaning up the broken doors and shelves in the store, and other bits and pieces, Xianglintang finally returned to the normal track...... Normal, unpatronized business status.

At noon that day, Rinnosuke Mori was lazily nestled behind the counter, absentmindedly flipping through a popular novel that had come in from the outside world and was not at all attractive, and was thinking about how to deal with a mouthful of lunch. As for the customers in the store, of course there was not one.

Hell yes.

"Jingle bell!"

Well, hell with that.

The new brass bell hung on the edge of the door frame, shaking happily. With this crisp ringing, the brand new wooden door was pushed open by outsiders, there were no falling paint blocks, no locked locks that jammed at every turn, no rusty doorknobs, no annoying "squeaks", everything was so perfect. Sunlight streamed through the open wooden door, shining the little brass bell like gold.

It was renovated and reopened, and finally, new customers arrived, and even if I was lazy, I couldn't help but feel the urge to "it's time to make a career".

However, this impulsive fire, in the next moment, was detained by a basin of cold water, and there was no smoke left.

"Hey, Xianglin, I'm borrowing a book again!"

Toki strode into the store, smiling and waving his hand at Rinnosuke to say hello.

Rinnosuke sighed with some regret, and then said:

"My name is Mori Kinrinnosuke, even if you come to my house to read, can you call me by my name?"

If it goes on like this, isn't it the same as Marisa, he thought to himself, where did this girl learn the nickname "Xianglin"?

"You look a little disappointed?"

The toki smiled and walked over the counter with a light turn, flipping through the drawer behind the counter. She hadn't touched the books on the shelves in the back room lately, but instead ran to the counter to read the books that Rinnosuke had just finished reading or was about to read.

"No, it's not disappointment, it's just that the expectations in my heart haven't been fulfilled. Rinnosuke said, rubbing his unkempt white hair, which had never been combed, looking a little embarrassed.

"What are you expecting?" Toki raised her head like a kitten, staring at Rinnosuke with curious eyes, "Girlfriend from the sky?"

"It's a customer, a customer!" Rinnosuke said loudly, "It's finally reopened, but I haven't even seen the shadow of a customer, I can't open this store!"

"Haha, customers or something, it's impossible!"

Toki smiled and went back to her book. She tossed through the contents of the drawer as she said:

"It's small, it's broken, it's rustic, and there's a suspicious feeling, who would come to buy something in this kind of store!"

"I've got new shelves!"

"But it's not all those things, it's either useless, or it's pure garbage, and it can't be sold!"

"You......"

Linnosuke glanced at the toki a little helplessly, and said:

"Speaking of which, there are better and newer books on the shelves in the back room, and there are many more types, why do you want to come here to flip through the books?"

"People want to read the books that Xianglin reads, don't they give them?" said Tokiko, and asked confidently.

"Yes, you can, please do your own thing. ”

With that, Rinnosuke handed Tokiko the boring novel he had in hand, and the latter gladly accepted it—to be honest, he really didn't understand why she wanted to read this rotten book, which would immediately lose interest in reading after only two pages. For him, a girl's mind is like a starry sky, which can be seen but not understood.

At this moment, Toki got the book he wanted, so he hummed a little song, pulled a stool from the side, sat down next to Rinnosuke, and read happily.

This is the standard plot that has been played out every day for the past seven days: Toki will appear at noon, happily grab a book that Rinnosuke has read or haven't read, and then read it motionless for an afternoon. During this period, the two of them read books when they should read books, and they went to do other things when they should do other things, without interfering with each other, and they couldn't say two words.

Although the ibis has always liked to come here to read, it has never been such a daily visit during this time.

It would probably be sunset, and she would close the book, return it to Rinnosuke, and say goodbye to him—at least when it came to returning it, she was a few notches better than Marisa.

Speaking of Marisa, she doesn't seem to have been here in a long time, right?

Rin Nosuke looked at the side face of Tokiko, but he couldn't help but think of the big grinning and noisy flying thief. It's not that he misses Marisa so much, he doesn't miss the days when the store is stolen every day!

"Jingle bell!"

Well, say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

"Yo, Xianglin, my broom is broken, lend me a new one!"

As soon as she stepped through the door, Marisa threw out this sentence, a standard Marisa-style speech - what she said was "borrowing", but it was actually a robbery.

The little golden retriever walked in, as swaggering as if she had returned to her own home, but a second before she began to plunder, she froze like a stone man.

Because she saw it, sitting next to Rinnosuke, no, it was the toki who was already leaning on Rinnosuke.

This posture, Marisa knew, must have pretended to tilt her body unintentionally, but in fact she leaned over on purpose! She hadn't been here for half a month, so where did such a dangerous youkai come from?

Marisa's face immediately turned green, and she walked to the counter without saying a word, and then, pulling Tokiko by the collar, pulled her in front of her.

"What are you doing?"

Toki was caught by surprise by her, and she didn't know what was going on, so she saw Marisa say to her with a fierce face:

"Hey, you, what are you doing behind the counter?"

"What are you doing, of course?" replied Tokiko, confidently, "Are you blind?"

"Huh, read?" Marisa's lips curled, "Who are you, and who allowed you to read here?"

She almost said, "This is my territory."

Toki only felt inexplicable, and just wanted to refute, but suddenly saw through Marisa's mind - this is probably a woman's intuition! In short, when Toki smiled and spoke, she said this:

"Who am I? Hehe, I'm the proprietress of this Xianglin Hall! ”

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room completely exploded.

"Huh?" Rinnosuke opened his mouth wide and said, "You're the boss, so what am I?"

Originally, he wanted to express, "How can my store become yours", this meaning. It's a pity that as soon as this sentence came out, it was immediately misinterpreted.

"Aha!"

Marisa loosened the collar of the ibis, took a few steps back, held her forehead and laughed a few times, and then said loudly:

"She's the boss, aren't you the boss! The boss's wife is the boss, isn't there nothing wrong with it!"

"Wait a minute, Marisa......"

Rinnosuke stood up, and just wanted to explain to her, "This is a misunderstanding", but the toki took the lead, only to see her pat her chest triumphantly and say:

"Yes, that's it! I'm afraid that you will be envious, jealous and hateful when you say it, Xianglin, in order to protect me, but you have come forward and fought hundreds of living dead!

Gotcha, it's over!

"Where did you hear about such nonsense customs!" Rinnosuke roared in his heart.

It's a pity that there is no room left for him to explain.

"'Xianglin'?" is what you call him?"

Looking at Marisa's unusually calm expression, Rinnosuke could basically conclude that she had lost her mind in anger.

The reality is that Marisa is very angry.

As early as half a month ago, that morning, when she saw the strange woman lying on Rinnosuke's bed, she was already quite panicked. It wasn't until today that she took a breath of relief, and then such a thing popped out again, do you think she can not be angry?

What's more, this guy actually said the word "Xianglin". She had no idea what that meant, this was a declaration of war!

The nickname "Xianglin" is exclusive to Marisa, and no one can call it that except her, no one can!

"Very good, your challenge, I accepted!"

With that, Marisa lifted the mini gossip furnace that she had already held in her hand and aimed it at Toki and Rinnosuke...... No, actually, her main target is still Rinnosuke, and Toki is just relatively close.

“Master......”

"Wait a minute, Marisa, you can explain ...... me"

Rinnosuke reached forward and tried to stop Marisa, but it didn't work, and if he stood in his position, he couldn't touch Marisa at all.

“Spark！”

From today, Xianglin Hall will be officially closed for one month!
