"I'm sorry, Fujii-kun, I'm late!"

Fujii, who was standing in front of the store selling cute stickers, looked at his girlfriend in a pink dress, running across the road with a fragrant breeze, and his slender waist made him swallow saliva subconsciously.

"No, it's nothing, I'm new here."

Mita ran to her boyfriend and said with a cute smile, "Let's go~"

"Hmm!"

The two walked side by side to the agreed Converse store.

On Friday:

"Mita-chan, that, I customized a pair of shoes, this weekend, can you come with me?"

"Hmm~, okay."

So, after two weeks of dating, the two finally started their first date.

Fujii was thinking about the events of the previous few days, and his eyes were aimed at the blooming moon season on the side of the road for a while, and he secretly looked at Mitasi's waist and gentle little hands.

{Today's goal is to hold hands!} Come on, Fujii! }

"The weather is so nice~"

The distracted Fujii hurriedly replied, "Well, yes, that's good...... Mita-chan, after taking the shoes, let's go to Sensoji Temple, how about it? ”

"Okay~"

The two walked to a tram track and waited for the railing to be raised. Mita Si hummed AKB48's "We Don't Fight" just released this year, and looked at the monorail that was slowly moving by.

Fujii's Adam's apple rolled and he reached out tremblingly......

"Ahh

"What, what's wrong?"

Fujii retracted his hand like a lightning bolt and saw Mita Silk covering her thin lips with her hands, her eyes widening.

Under the June sun, those eyes were as beautiful as crystal balls, and Fujita reluctantly looked away and looked in the direction where Mita was looking......

A man on a bicycle, across from them, also waiting for the railing to be raised.

He put his hands on the front of the bicycle with a pair of shoes hanging on it, but he looked sideways at the distant tram with his face on it.

There was no wind, but as the train passed, the man's messy hair fluttered gracefully, and he wore black-rimmed glasses, and his face looked like a rokukasen of the Heiankyo period.

The yellow railing was raised, and the man rode briskly on his bicycle, staggering past the two of them who were standing motionless.

"Three, Mita-chan, you can pass."

Mita just stared blankly at the back of the person just now, as if watching the sky that was about to dawn, waiting for the moment when the sun rose.

"What's there to see." Fujii muttered quietly, "It's rude to hang your shoes on the front of the car, and you're obviously a man, and you're riding a women's bicycle......"

"What did you say!"

Fujii-kun swears that he has never seen Mita-chan with such a terrible expression!

"No, nothing."

"Humph!"

......

Get on the train from Oki Gakuin, take the Marunouchi Line, go around Tokyo for most of the time, and get off at Kuramae Station, where you will find Sensoji Temple.

far, not so far for the tram; Speaking of which, Yu Murakami has been riding his bicycle for almost two hours.

——————

On Sunday, June 7, the highest temperature was 23 degrees.

Today is the opening day of the [Nakano Parrot Shop], and the parrots domesticated by Yu Murakami, except for the [Rakuyu Chicken], which was favored by Miss Sakura, have all been sent over on Saturday.

Nakano's mother's friend has a Kcar that has traveled 12 km, and plans to dispose of it with the store.

Nakano's mother thought that it would be good to open her own shop, that it would be convenient to have a car, and that it would be good to buy groceries, so she bought it for 55,000 yen from a friend.

On Sunday morning, she drove to pick up a few people from Sakura.

Yu Murakami had a broken pair of shoes, and he had plans to buy shoes, so he didn't go all the way with them.

Riding the women's bicycle alone, I went all the way to Sensoji Temple, and found my favorite shoe store all the way.

Whoever wants to walk the streets and alleys and wander around, they are almost at Omotesando, and as a last resort, they find a random Converse.

The store embraces customization — adding all sorts of elements to the shoes, and Murakami opted for a pair of ready-made high-tops, all-white.

After paying for it, wear it directly on your feet.

The old pair of shoes, connected by shoelaces, hung on the faucet and thrown in the trash can in front of an 811 supermarket.

After disposing of his old shoes, Yu Murakami felt relaxed and walked around to the Skytree.

I wanted to go up and have a look, but the queue to buy tickets was long enough for those who were hungry to die to wait until they were not hungry, and those who were sleepy until they slept refreshed.

Yu Murakami took a turn of wind and turned around and left.

Halfway through the ride, Ai Nakano called and asked him if he was lost on the road of life.

"It's almost there, it's on its way."

Yu Murakami hung up the phone perfunctorily, gave up the plan to go around again, and went directly to Sensoji Temple.

Sensoji Temple is a famous spot, and it is always crowded on Sundays and weekdays.

The Nakano Parrot Shop is located between the Sensoji Kaminarimon Gate and the main hall, and almost all of them sell food, and only a few sell souvenirs and jewelry.

There has never been a parrot shop, but there is an owl café nearby.

The area of the Nakano Parrot Store is not large, and you can see it from the appearance: a door the size of a person, and a two-meter-wide floor-to-ceiling glass, which looks unremarkable.

From the outside of the glass, you can see the parrots jumping around in the cages in the store.

Yu Murakami parked his bike, pushed the door and walked in.

"Welcome~" Ai Nakano, who acted as a temporary hostess, greeted, "Ah, it's Murakami-kun, why is it so slow?" ”

"It's hard to come out, what's the point if you go straight here?" Yu Murakami looked around the layout of the store, and it was also very ordinary, "What about Sakura and the others?" Didn't stay to help? ”

"The store is not big, or there are not so many people, so let them go out to play. My mom went to see off her friend, and she should be back soon. ”

Ai Nakano glanced down at his shoes, "Bought a new one?" ”

"yes, it's hard." Yu Murakami sat down at the cash register, his body sunken in the soft chair, looking like he had gone through a lot of hardships.

Ai Nakano laughed, and was about to say something when two young women in kimonos walked in outside the door.

"Welcome."

"You, hello." The two spoke jerky Japanese.

The two guests were very interested in cockatiels that could speak pretty words, but in the end, considering customs and other issues, they just looked at it and didn't buy it.

After waiting for the people to go out, Yu Murakami asked:

"How many have you sold?"

"Six."

"Not a lot." Yu Murakami nodded and said.

"My mother was worried that your price was too high and she wouldn't be able to sell it, but she sold two before she left."

"Tourist attractions, things are expensive, how can birds not increase in price?" Yu Murakami turned on the red stereo on the table.

A song starts halfway through.

Murakami listened to a sentence or two, "What kind of song is this?" ”

Ai Nakano was adding water to the parrot with her feet on her feet, and said, "Real me in "Rainbow". ”

"That's it. What is Rainbow? ”

"An album by Ayumi Hamasaki."

"Which one is Ayumi Hamasaki?"

Ai Nakano glanced back at him, "Turn off the music, the guests won't be able to hear the parrot later!" ”

Yu Murakami turned up the volume to the old and young, and barely listened with the powerful hearing given by [Flesh Transformation Lv4: 1/100].

I really can't appreciate half of it, so I just turn it off.

After adding water, Ai Nakano stood in front of the cash register, fiddling with the gardenia bonsai that was still a bud, and said to Yu Murakami:

"Murakami-kun, I see that the pet store that sells puppies has the weight and personality of the puppies, and even can see what they will look like when they grow up, should our parrots also write relevant information?"

"Absolutely." Yu Murakami, who has nothing to do, said.

He took out a notebook in the drawer of the cash register, which was actually the periphery of Sword Art Online, and there were printed signatures of him and Nailiya on it.

Ai Nakano explains:

"It's the production team that sent you a sample. I see that you don't use it in the living room, and you only use manuscript paper to write, so I take it to my mother for accounting. ”

"Hmm."

Yu Murakami didn't care about this, so he took the pen in the pen holder and wrote the relevant information on the paper in print.

For example: what breed of parrot, how much weight, what to eat, whether to cut feathers, whether there is feather meal, the degree of danger, and the points that pregnant women with children need to pay attention to...... Wait a minute.

After writing one, he tore it off and handed it to Ai Nakano, who was hunched down on the cash register and watched him write.

"The first one on the left, stick it on."

"Hmm......" Ai Nakano tilted her head and looked at the paper a few times, and handed it back: "Let's draw them when they were young, growing up, and old, just draw them." ”

"I paint?"

"yes, I don't know anything about parrots."

That's it, Murakami thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so he just exercised his [painting skills].

But after he drew the first {chick pecking rice}, the paper was immediately snatched by Ai Nakano.

[Skill Lv 1: 11/100]

"Murakami-kun! What are you drawing? Forget it, I'll draw it. Hey, if I draw them, I can only paint them as they are. ”

"Look at you. It's you who asked me to draw, and it's you who dislikes the ugliness of my paintings. ”

Ai Nakano looked up and smiled at him.

Halfway through Yuu Murakami's second photo, another guest came to the door, and Ai Nakano threw down a third of the painting and went to receive the guests.

The guest who came this time was a couple who came out on a weekend date.

The woman buys a cockatiel that can only say pretty things, while the man buys one and says, "Pokémon, caught!" "The sunflower cockatoos.

Ai Nakano counted the two 10,000 yen bills in her hand, as if she were counting the new bills that had just been printed and still smelled of ink.

She handed 20,000 yen to Yu Murakami: "Put it away, Murakami-kun, my mother will come back to reconcile the account later." ”

"Am I the one who sees money?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, Murakami-sama is a big man who won 10 million yen with 8,000 yen, how can he care about 20,000 yen~"

Looking at Nakano Aiyi's well-behaved appearance, Yu Murakami pointed to the halfway painting:

"Draw yours."

"Haha~~"

The two of them went their own way, and the only thing left in the store was the noise of the parrots.

"How's it going, Murakami-kun?" Ai Nakano asked.

Yu Murakami raised her head and looked at the parrot she drew in her hand, which was completely a cartoon parrot, beautiful and beautiful, but it had no reference value at all.

"Amazing, amazing."

"You're lying to me again!"

"Where?"

"Hmph~, you say that overlapping words are generally lying, don't think I don't know!"

"That's {awesome}."

"Nasty!" Ai Nakano hit Yu Murakami with the painting in her hand - it wasn't enough.

Waiting for Yu Murakami to write all the information about the parrots, Ai Nakano drew ten pictures, and Suzune Sakura, Higashiyama and Yu Mubi came back with large bags and small bags.

"Bought so many things?" Ai Nakano went to pick up the things in Yu Mubi's hand.

Dongshan put a few bags on his right hand on the cash register: "This is Lingyin's!" ”

He put the left-handed one on the cash register again: "This is still ringing!" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"

"Hmm~~~ For Suzune, I'm willing to do anything, what~~"

"Murakami!" After pacifying the harem, Miss Sakura pointed the finger at Yu Murakami, who was slumped in a soft chair and doing nothing, looking at them half-open: "Where did you go in the morning?" We've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

"Lost, lost."

"Lost? Really, who made you have to ride a bike and expect the only man to help carry your bag! ”

"Next time, definitely."

At noon, Nakano's mother drove back with [Xingxing] and asked a few people to go to dinner and go out for a walk.

"Mom, I'll take [Xingxing] away."

"Well, okay, put it in the store and the parrot keeps barking."

So, a girl, a young man, three young women, and an adult walked from the Kaminarimon Gate to the main hall, and from the main hall to the Kaminarimon Gate, and on this street called {Nakamiyo}, they ate a lot of food that could not be named.

Miss Sakura bought a bunch of dolls and porcelain for dogs and cats, and now Yu Murakami finally couldn't get rid of the fate of being a tool man.

At half past one, a few people returned to the store, Ai Nakano continued to act as a waitress, while the three of Sakura had nothing to do, and discussed going to the Skytree.

"Murakami, are you going?"

"No, no, no, tired."

"The boy's physical strength is so poor, you need to strengthen your exercise, don't know how to read all day!" Miss Sakura, who doesn't like to read, educates.

"Makes sense."

After they left, Yu Murakami reoccupied the soft chair.

At two o'clock, take out your mobile phone and watch the island barista competition that is being broadcast live.

Kitagawa Tamako was wearing a white shirt, still a familiar ido blue apron outside, tied in a low ponytail, and her small face was tense and serious.

"Hello judges, I'm Tamako Kitagawa and I'm very happy to be here today to share my coffee ......"

Such a serious Kitagawa Tamako, Yu Murakami is the first time I've seen it.

She was a little nervous, staring straight at a certain place, like a student who had been named by a teacher to memorize a text.

“...... I believe that in your daily life, like me, in addition to specialty coffee, you also like food and wine, and you also learn from it and apply it to coffee.

And I like azaleas so much, so I tried ......"

“...... Please allow me to clean the grinder tunnel first......"

“...... Extract 39g of coffee liquid with 19g of powder......"

"It's a cold drink, you can drink it straight away, and in the coffee, you can feel the hops, honey, maltose, and all the ingredients collide to create a rhododendron-like aroma."

"I clearly call it ......"

……

"Murakami-kun," Nakano's mother suddenly walked over, "that's what Ai said, is this your disciple at the coffee?" ”

"yes."

"It's amazing to be on such a great stage. Clever, isn't it, kid? ”

"It's stupid." Yu Murakami said, "I just have an unusual love for coffee. ”

"[Talent can never win, like the love that you are immersed in], is this the truth?"

"Well, that's probably why." Although in the books that Murakami Yu has read, it is said that [{hard work} will never win...... Love].

But who cares about it.

Being too scheming in life (it doesn't matter what matters} can only make yourself and others unhappy.

After Kitagawa Yuko finished the show, it was the turn of the other baristas, and during this time, Yu Murakami looked out the window at Sensoji Temple in a daze.

In the temples of this island country, the women who wear kimonos the most are foreigners who come to visit, and the most Chinese are Chinese.

And these women who come from China to travel are generally more beautiful than ordinary people - it may also be makeup.

Yu Murakami paid attention to these women in kimonos and found many interesting things.

For example, there are many foreign tourists who do not look for island people, but pull them to take pictures.

After the filming, it was clear that both of them were Fang Huaxia people, but they said thank you to each other in broken Japanese or English.

Also, even though they are natives of the island country, they keep secretly taking pictures of these women in kimonos, as if they are tourists.

There are all sorts of other interesting facts, and it's really interesting.

Therefore, after the official announcement that Kitagawa Tamako won the championship, he took a soft chair and sat at the door of the store, posing as an elderly man in a daze.

As for whether it will hinder others from walking, whether it will affect the business of the store, he doesn't care until no one talks about him.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun set on the gate of Sensoji Temple, showing a golden and brilliant scene, the three of Sakura returned again with large bags and small bags.

For dinner, they didn't have the strength to shop around and eat at the same time, so they bought something nearby and ate it behind the cashier counter in the store.

The woman occupies the cash register, and Yu Murakami has to be in the company of parrots and.

While a few people were eating, a man with glasses who was carrying a backpack and looked like an otaku walked in.

Yu Murakami said, "See for yourself." ”

"Murakami-san? Murakami Mulberry !! It's Murakami-san! ”

"It's me, don't be so excited, I'm just an ordinary employee now."

"Okay, okay!" Otaku still had an unconcealable excitement on his face, and adjusted the position of his glasses with his hands from time to time: "I watched your live broadcast, and I came to find the parrot shop." ”

"Oh, pick for yourself. Can I eat? ”

"No problem, no problem!"

Otaku first chose the parrot with a perfunctory attitude, but when he was scolded by the parrot for a few words, and heard the parrot imitate the sound effect of the game, he said directly:

"Murakami-san, here, and here, I want them all!"

Several people in the cash register looked up at this side.

"Not for sale."

If you buy them all at once, won't he waste time on a new batch of parrots next week?

"Huh? Why? ”

Yu Murakami put down his chopsticks and explained seriously:

"These parrots are all hand-raised parrots, and after buying them back, they need people to spend time playing with them, and you can't take care of them if you buy too much, so you can only buy two at most per person."

"That's right, that's okay."

Otaku struggled for a long time, and finally chose a pair of parrots who like to say "bastard, perverted" and full of dirty words.

Finally, before the otaku left, he asked for Yu Murakami's autograph, patted his chest and promised that when he went back, he would send a video of the parrot to promote the store.

"No need to do that, thank you." Yu Murakami said, "I hope that the customers who buy parrots buy them because they like them, not because they support me." Raising parrots is already depriving them of their freedom, so I hope their owners can be more attentive and responsible. ”

Otaku was very touched by what he said.

"Murakami-san! I will always support you! ”

After Otaku walked away with the cage, Nakano's mother sighed: "Murakami-kun is really a very good person, and he is so gentle with parrots. ”

She thought that Yu Murakami didn't have any real estate in Tokyo, but for the sake of these birds, she gave up the opportunity to make money, and she felt even more good.

"Birds are life, and birds are life." Yu Murakami responded as he picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Then he realized something was wrong and looked at Ai Nakano, who was drinking the fruit wine from her glass and looking at him with amused eyes.

Those eyes seem to say: You're lying again, aren't you?

At nine o'clock in the evening, Nakano's mother closed the door early and drove the people back to Sakuraso.

Yu Murakami still rides a women's bicycle and shuttles around the brightly lit city of Tokyo.

I went to the Skytree and had to queue up, which is really unreasonable!

He obviously only wants to go once, just have this experience, and he won't rob them a second time, why don't these people understand him?

By the time he returned to Sakuraso, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Ai Nakano said: "Murakami-kun, you hurry up and take a bath, after washing, I will wash [Xingxing]." ”

"Xingxing?"

"Yes, my mother said that the parrot shop is not suitable for her, and it is too lonely to leave it at home, so let me bring it." Ai Nakano looked very happy, and said with a smile: "They also agreed~"

Yu Murakami looked down at the Yorkshire.

"Wow! (Ugly ghost!) Hairless two-limbed beast! ）”

"Nakano-san."

"Aang?"

"You asked me...... Forget it, I'm going to take a shower. ”
