"Alas......" In the face of his friend's rebuttal, Shizuo just sighed, shook his head and said, "Teacher Xia Shizi has recently promoted her new work on Twitter, but she also strongly recommended another work. You should also know more about the dynamics of the industry, right? Don't expect me to tell you anything, okay? ”

It seems that in a certain world, Rinza (fog), who is a bad information dealer, has now become an autistic otaku who doesn't care about the information around him at all?

Hearing his friend say this, Rin yawned lazily and said with a seemingly indifferent look: "It doesn't matter if you don't care, you will always tell me anyway, right?" Na, so the purpose of going out in advance this time is a new work strongly recommended by Teacher Xia Shizi? ”

"I was going to go ......out early," said Shizuo, who took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and continued a little helplessly, "But now it's probably only enough for us to run to the bookstore, buy two of the teacher's new books, and then go to the book signing, right?" ”

"Eh~~" Pro didn't have any emotions that can be called "guilt" by humans, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "Is it so urgent? I don't want to run sweaty on a sunny morning. ”

“…… Who do you think this is because of? A sucker! Stop complaining, keep up! ”

Jingxiong held his forehead, looking a little helpless. He knew his friend's temperament very well, and therefore knew that ordinary words of complaint would not do anything for him. Therefore, after just a few words, he called the other party to run.

And although Lin Ye looked reluctant on his face, he also ran up according to his words. At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart - the new book recommended by Teacher Xia Shizi?

Even if he doesn't pay much attention to Twitter, he knows that Kasumi Shizi is a rare writer who doesn't like to interact with fans on social accounts very much, which may be related to the rumors of the "beautiful girl high school writer" who doesn't know whether it's true or not.

And now, the other party has rarely begun to promote his new work, and recommended other people's new books, and in the bottom of his heart, he can't help but feel some curiosity about those two books.

……

There are always a lot of strange things in this world, and some strange persistence.

For example, in the Celestial Empire, those craftsmen with unknown reputations and exquisite ancestral crafts; Those martial arts families who don't know if they are still continuing; And those, for a variety of reasons, have chosen to stay away from the high of the world.

Of course, it may be a bit inappropriate to say that he is a "master". After all, there is such a saying, isn't it?

"The small is hidden in the wilderness, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden in the court."

Now, it may be rare to see the masters who are "hidden in the court", but there are still many masters who are "hidden in the city".

In this world, there are many places located in various corners of the bustling city, for various reasons, and unknowingly, with a legendary color, so that it has become a place full of mysterious "urban legends" in the eyes of urbanites who come and go.

And the owners of these places have naturally become the so-called "masters" in the eyes of outsiders.

Chen Ci is the owner of such a small bookstore.

Almost at the end of the last century, Chen Chen, who followed his parents to this small land, now his children have already gone to college and are about to graduate.

And he has also gone from a young man in his twenties to his current age.

However, unlike other small bookstores, Chen Ci, a bookstore located in a bustling business district, has a crepe name - "yes and no".

This may be due to the statement of the owner and the only staff member, the first half of the university period, I studied Chinese at a well-known university in the Celestial Empire; In the second half of the year, I completed my graduate and doctoral studies at the University of Tokyo. And his family can be regarded as a scholarly family of more than three generations, so he has more or less a literati temperament.

For example, opening a small bookstore in a bustling business district; Another example is to give a bookstore a name that most people don't realize.

Perhaps it should be said that he enjoyed being in the middle of the city, but with a sense of peace and quiet. Or, in other words, he is a little more aware of Xin Qiji's "ordinary alleys, humane slaves once lived".

This poem, if it is not connected to the upper and lower rhymes, and is taken out of context, also has a bit of a heroic sense of "heroes don't ask where they come from". This makes the arguments of the ancient literati quite enjoyable.

By the way, the only other staff member of the bookstore is Chen's son, who is studying at the University of Tokyo. It is a pity that his son does not seem to inherit his literary cells, but is quite interested in computers. And he seems to have a certain talent - anyway, Chen Chen can often see what kind of competition his son has participated in and what awards he has won.

Although there are some traditional literati temperaments, the cliché does not reject the so-called otaku culture. It's better to say that when he was at Tokyo, he also helped a junior who was a few years younger than him and completed the production of several galgames, which also caused a certain repercussion in the society at that time.

Ah, of course, he was only in charge of the game's script, and as for the rest of the stuff, he didn't know much about it, and he didn't have the heart to understand it.

If he had this idea, he would have gone to class everywhere when he was still a student at the University of Tokyo. Moreover, you can also ask the junior who makes him admire a lot, right?

Originally, Chen's bookstore only sold those high-level books that were more literary or obscure—anyway, he didn't expect to make money from this bookstore, but just provided a place for himself to pay attention to all kinds of people who came and went in the world, in an attempt to find inspiration for his own writing.

Yes, Chenji's current profession is a writer who has not yet debuted, and his former career was a university teacher at the University of Tokyo, who left a year ago.

And now, thanks to his son's suggestion, he will also sell some of the popular light at the moment, or the popular ones that he can see himself, although the business is not good, but the monthly deficit is not so big, isn't it?

Although, in a place similar to his personal study, selling two-dimensional related things is somewhat disobedient.

"That...... Excuse me, is there a light sale here? ”

Suddenly, at the door of the bookstore, there was such a voice that was not very confident.

At the same time, another somewhat lazy voice said, "What are you thinking, Shizuo?" No matter how you look at it, it can't be a place that sells lightly, right? ”

Chen Ji, who was reading a book, raised his head, glanced at the two people at the door - well, high school students, otaku - after coming to a conclusion so easily, and looked at the person who seemed to have listened to his friend's persuasion and was about to leave, Chen Ji smiled and said, "Yes." ”
