It's the beginning of March, and it's only about half a month before the arrival of the pink cherry blossom clouds that slowly drift from Kyushu Island to Hokkaido Island (Japanese cherry blossoms bloom from south to north according to time and geography from March).

Today's Liu Mo and Su Ying went out together under the leadership of Tang Yan to go shopping in the richest Ginza, which was strongly requested by Tang Yan, saying that he, as an elder, should buy some gifts for Su Ying and Liu Mo, even if they were not well entertained as a tour guide when they met for the first time, and it was able to let Su Ying and Liu Mo get more familiar with the terrain and customs of Tokyo, which would also be of great benefit to future tasks.

Tang Yan took Su Ying and Liu Mo to Mitsukoshi Department Store, which is famous for high-end consumption and high-quality service. Mitsukoshi Department Store is located in the entire Ginza block of the most prosperous, the most lively four-chome, to young people as the sales object, specializing in fashionable goods, more than 100,000 customers a day, which shuttles back and forth are rich and come to Japan from all over the world, is a prohibitive huge gold cave, but Tang Yan in casual clothes walked in it without a sense of disobedience, and even was personally received by the manager of Mitsukoshi Department Store at that time, the manager seemed to be familiar, gushing about which stores have new goods, What privileges do you have to serve the VIPs, until Tang Yan whispered a few words, the manager retreated abruptly.

The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that he had been sincere to this big man every time before, why didn't he still have a familiar face on her side? Fang Cai actually threatened to buy this Mitsukoshi department store if he was crooked again, and he was relieved of his job. Maybe she doesn't have a good memory, it seems that she has to make persistent efforts to make that big money remember her, and it can be regarded as a good fate for herself.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, so Tang Yan first took Liu Mo and Su Ying to pick out some clothes in the Gucci store, and when Tang Yan took out the golden light from his arms at the checkout, and when the super VIP card with diamonds was studded, several beautiful clerks in the Gucci store were stunned, and they couldn't wait to stare their eyes out.

Liu Mo has a bit of temperament and charm under his mother's careful dressing, not to mention Su Ying, who is slender and beautiful, and after changing into brand-name clothes with extremely exquisite workmanship and materials, styles and colors are very fashionable, she is as shining as a celebrity in high society, making those female clerks who have been strictly screened and think they are young and beautiful feel a little ashamed, Su Ying is also a little embarrassed, thinking that this dress is too fancy and gorgeous, and it is not practical when fighting,It's just not good to say it to my aunt in person.,After all, it's the other party's mind.。。

After walking out of the Gucci store, I don't know if it was because the beautiful clerk of the Gucci store was suspicious of sycophancy, "You are so young, it's like taking younger brothers and sisters" to make Tang Yan feel good, so Tang Yan started her own shopping spree, really like the chaebol rich woman in TV and movies, every time she visits a store, the mantra is "this, this, and this, and the rest will be covered for me".

In the end, of course, Liu Mo was suffering, completely playing the role of a porter, and sighed in his heart that it was really scary to accompany a woman shopping, but complaining was complaining, and he could only wipe his sweat, lift up the shopping bag that was sandwiched under his armpit and held around his waist, and then continued to follow behind his mother, and continued to fight this unique battlefield, and also called it a beautiful name to let Liu Mo exercise more, so that he can be more popular with girls.

After buying the clothes, Tang Yan took Su Ying and Liu Mo to the rooftop garden on the top floor, blowing the air conditioner, drinking coffee, and enjoying the bustling scenery below.

Tang Yan held a cup of vanilla iced coffee and leaned on the edge of the rooftop to blow the wind.

Su Ying walked to Tang Yan's side, and after thinking about it for a long time, she finally planned to ask.

"Auntie?"

"Huh? What's up? ”

"Have you been in contact with the person in charge of the secret organization here?"

"To be honest, I really haven't met the guy who lives in seclusion, I don't even know if it's a man or a woman, to be honest, the God Eaters here are very xenophobic, I don't want to put a hot face on a cold ass, and be dumped on my face and say nosy, but Japan has been much calmer since the 'bloody tragedy' two years ago, and it is this that makes me feel very weird, and I want to find the person in charge several times to understand the situation. The God Eater suffered heavy losses in the bloody tragedy, which can be regarded as a fiasco, on the other hand, although the side of the pseudo-god is not considered an innocuous flesh injury, but it does not really hurt the muscles and bones, so it stands to reason that the activities of the pseudo-god should be more frequent, and it is right to take advantage of the victory to pursue, rather than the current situation of disobedience. ”

Su Ying nodded, the xenophobia of the God Eaters and Liu Moke have both been personally taught, and these God Eaters in Tokyo are not very good-tempered, especially the woman who uses a yo-yo, except for the blind little girl who can completely hide her breath in front of her near the station in Shibuya District, so she is definitely higher than her own blood, and then Su Ying thought of her old acquaintance Nami, the first time she met Nami, the other party did have a stinky face that she loved to answer.

Su Ying sighed, it seemed that she was indeed going to meet with the person in charge of the God Eater organization, and she had to find a chance to talk to Dr. Ah Q on the phone, report on the situation in the recent past, and see what Dr. Ah Q thought, whether he and Liu Mo should change their plans.

Tang Yan actually has the same worries as Su Ying, the current situation in Japan looks like a sleeping beast from the outside, but no one knows if this beast is really asleep or pretending to be asleep, maybe under that seemingly calm appearance, what is hidden is the deadly claws and fangs.

Tang Yan also sighed and continued: "Now my idea is to wait and see what happens, to adapt to external changes without change, take one step at a time, one day these things hidden under the surface of the water will surface, no matter what kind of big things these murderous pseudo-gods are plotting for fun, what kind of moths do you want to make, come one by one, come to two to kill a pair." ”

After Tang Yan finished speaking, a gust of wind blew on the rooftop.

I don't know why, it's obviously a spring wind, but it carries a slight chill.

After resting, Tang Yan walked out of the door of Mitsukoshi Department Store with Liu Mo and Su Ying, who were engulfed in shopping bags, and the manager who knew Tang Yan's economic situation came to see off the guests in person, and flattered a lot of words, but Tang Yan just dealt with a few casual words, to the effect that there was a chance to cooperate.

The manager waited until Tang Yan and his party were completely far away, and they all smiled respectfully at the foreign woman with strong financial resources, who owned one-third of the land in the entire Ginza, what is it that is not rich and rivals? If he can really climb such a big man, then what is the manager seat that I don't know how many people want to sit in?

It's just that what this manager doesn't know is that Tang Yan didn't take his two intentional personal appearances and flattery to heart at all, even the previous ones didn't take it to heart, and after seeing a lot, he became numb and used to it, and there was no shortage of people like him around the rich and powerful.

But even if this truth is easy to understand, you can see it everywhere, this society still has many such people, you can't say they are wrong, after all, this is their way of survival, and it does not harm others, maybe because of some unspeakable hidden, such as their own to support their families, hard work, but the economic situation of the family itself is not very good, parents are seriously ill or something, and the son wants to raise but does not wait, so he can only use such inferior means, trying to hug the thighs, take shortcuts, and quickly earn money to improve life, It's just that this kind of thing is not a person's foothold after all, and he has to have real skills first, and then with some dispensable sycophants, he can be like a tiger with wings and icing on the cake, rather than blindly pleasing others to arm himself, so that he will not be smiling on the surface, but he will be poked in the backbone behind his back, and become a joke after dinner.

It is not easy to work hard in society, so you have to learn to be a man first.

Tang Yan took Liu Mo and his future daughter-in-law Su Ying to a crossroads slowly, the high-rise buildings on both sides and the rows of advertising signs are dazzling, the 19th century style Heguang old shop with a bell tower on the top and the 14-storey modern Sanai building are near this crossroads, once night falls, there will be many crowds of people here, and many activities will be held, very lively, in the colorful neon lights, fluorescent lights complement each other and set off, Just like a sea of lights, it can highlight the "prosperous" temperament, and there will be many rich second generations of wealthy lords, driving Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Pagani and other endless luxury cars, showing the enviable and carefree rich life at the top of the pyramid, carrying out their bravado-free bombing of the streets, or a lonely night hunting trip.

When waiting for the red light at the intersection, Su Ying saw a gray-haired old woman with some inconveniences, holding a cane made of wood, crooked, wearing a set of loose light brown old clothes with speckled patterns, wearing a pair of white cloth socks under her feet, and stepping on a pair of brand-new clogs. Therefore, it inevitably provoked the surrounding girls and young women who were dressed in charming and fashionable clothes to look at them with disdain, and they all stayed away from the old grandmother intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that the other party's "rustic" would infect them.

The old woman is like an island isolated in the ocean, but she always maintains a kind face with a shallow smile, seems to have a positive attitude that is not afraid of wind and rain, and is full of hope for life.

I don't know why, Su Ying has an indescribable and inexplicable sense of closeness to this grandmother who is not conspicuous in the crowd, but is noticed by herself at a glance.

"手伝いましょうか (I'll help you)?" Su Ying walked to the old woman's side under the curious gazes of Liu Mo and Tang Yan, and asked with a sweet smile.

The rickety old woman, who was wearing a pair of necklace-style reading glasses, opened her squinted eyes and saw that the owner of the sweet voice was a beautiful girl.

The old lady politely smiled back and nodded, "ごbitter労様でした (有老了)." ”

The little man at the green light kept waving his arms to signal that he could pass the road.

The vehicles on the right side of the sidewalk stopped in an orderly manner, and the crowd at the end of both sides of the sidewalk began to surge like a tide to the opposite side of the sidewalk.

Su Ying slowly supported the old woman with a cane, and Tang Yan and Liu Mo, who were struggling to carry large and small shopping bags, quietly followed behind and by the side of the old woman respectively, such a picture embedded in the bustling crowd made people feel very warm.

After crossing the road smoothly, the grandmother thanked her again, and Su Ying followed her aunt and slowly left with Liu Mo, continuing to wander in this prosperous shopping paradise.

A few minutes later, a gold-made Rolls-Royce Phantom with several silver-white Bentley Bentayga as escort cars stopped on the road in front of the shabby-dressed old woman, attracting the side eyes of many pedestrians on the street, no one would have thought that such an inconspicuous old woman was actually a low-key rich man.

The handsome-looking, white-gloved driver hurriedly got out of the car, for fear of delaying the president's trip.

The driver opened the backseat door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom and bent down ninety degrees to greet the old woman in the car.

The old woman withdrew her gaze in the direction where the three people were leaving, and got into the car with a smile, the girl just now made herself feel good, although the boy next to her looked silly and mune, he was actually a kind-hearted child, otherwise he would not carry a large bag of shopping bags, and he also took the initiative to follow the other side of the girl in the form of surrounding, to prevent the dense crowd from crowding his old bones. Immediately, the old woman's eyes were a little lonely, if her granddaughter was still alive, she should be so slim.

A convoy of luxury cars, led by the Rolls-Royce Phantom, drove under the orders of the old woman into a magnificent castle in the port area, complete with a vast garden full of manicured precious trees and exotic flowers.

Ostentatious.

A group of maids and servants lined up on both sides of the convoy to welcome their master home.

The old woman, supported by a conscientious and diligent steward in the castle for more than twenty years, came to a house on the top floor of the castle, and no one was allowed to enter this secret room except the old woman and her own spouse.

The old woman waved her hand and motioned for the butler to leave, and the faithful butler quickly walked away.

Entering the house, which had not been dusted even after years of uncleaned, the old woman turned away, closed the door, and then quietly walked to a wall, staring at the only family photo of her son's family on the wall, and burst into tears.

The car accident twelve years ago took the lives of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and his son's whereabouts are unknown since then.

This old man, who has retired to the background of the company and has done countless charities in his life, does not hope that he can live in his old age, but that he can see his wife and son and his family again, and have a happy family reunion dinner with them.

Even if it's on the Yellow Springs Road, the Gate of Hell.

What the old woman didn't know was that she and her granddaughter had actually met.

Sometimes fate is like this, even if there is no regret to pass by, but after all, the truth is not known, and there is no chance to recognize each other.

The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on the old woman's shoulders, and the sunlight was a lot of flying dust, at this moment, the white-haired old woman's figure seemed to be crushed by the sunlight again, and her figure became more rickety, as if she was much older.

On the top of Mt. Akiba, under an ancient pine and cypress with teeth and claws, there is a strange guy who has lived here for many years, suspected of being an anti-guest, but never opened his mouth to talk to the owner of the shrine in the middle of the mountain, Akiba Gonxian, suddenly woke up from his slumber, he opened his eyes, and seemed to sense something in the dark, so he turned his head to look into the distance.

The stars in the sky are bright, and the lights on the ground are brilliant.

It pulled out a jug of sake from the sleeve of its wide kimono and drank it in one gulp, trying to extinguish the strange feeling that had suddenly arisen in its heart.
