Ancient books.

Qingming naturally wants it.

But he didn't think to look for it himself, maybe because he found it hard to find, or maybe he didn't look forward to it.

And now, the new name Kaori personally sent the ancient books over.

"Do you remember? Thank you so much. ”

Qingming smiled and thanked him.

He took a few ancient books from the new name Kaori and put them on the table.

It seemed that he couldn't wait, picked up the top one and began to look at it, as if he didn't plan to say anything more.

The new name, Kaori, didn't care.

Azusa Enomoto walked over with coffee and cake and placed them on the table.

"Please take your time."

He smiled at the new name, turned around and left to continue working.

That's how to say it.

Actually, there wasn't much work to do, there weren't any customers yet, and as was customary, the coffee shop customers would come a little later.

Drinking coffee, eating cakes and biscuits, reading the newspaper, and enjoying a leisurely morning.

Most of the customers of the coffee shop are like this.

For example, the Maori Kogoro upstairs, if he usually has nothing to do, he will come down to drink coffee, eat cake and read the newspaper, which can be regarded as a gathering place for idle people.

So it's work.

But after Enomoto Azusa wiped the table, he just stood in front of the counter with a tray and looked at Kiyoshi and Shina Kahori.

The new name Xiang Baoli comes over occasionally, and she is one of the few people who can talk to Qingming, so she is relatively familiar, but she will not suspect that there is any improper relationship between her and Qingming.

That's impossible.

In fact, apart from Naoko Takei and Ayako Suzuki, Azusa Enomoto didn't think there would be any other enemies.

Rival.

Even if it's Naoko Takei and Ayako Suzuki, she's not worried.

Naoko Takei doesn't say it first, Ayako Suzuki and Qingming rarely meet, and they rarely contact each other, so the threat is not great.

And Naoko Takei......

This girl is just an innocent girl, and she hasn't discovered the essence of Qingming, so when she understands, she will probably give up.

So Enomoto Azusa has always been very calm.

But......

I just found a few books, and then delivered them in person early in the morning, such an act......

Could it be that Qingming treats her as a friend, but she wants to ...... What's that?

Azusa Enomoto looked at the new name Kahori and thought.

Long.

He shook his head helplessly.

"Impossible."

Think so.

There was a "ding" sound, and the guest pushed open the door and walked in.

Put on a smile and walk over.

"Welcome."

“……”

An ordinary day in the coffee shop has started again.

……

Morning.

It was about ten o'clock.

Conan came to the coffee shop, and seemed to have something to say to Qingming about the events of last night.

He has a cell phone in his hand.

Raised in front of Qingming, he pressed a few buttons with "Di Di Di", and then asked.

"How?"

"How's that?"

"Does this change in pitch look like the beginning of a tune?"

"Who knows."

Qingming shrugged.

At this time, he had already focused on the ancient books brought by the new name, and was in no mood to pay attention to these things.

"I'm not very sensitive to music, so don't come to me about that."

I just found such an excuse.

But to be honest, he really didn't have any research on music, and some of the Taoist arts were performed through sounds, and most of these sounds existed in the form of music.

However, Qingming doesn't know a lot, it's just some basics.

He has a solid foundation.

For so many years, I can basically only study some basic knowledge, because I have no other resources, so I can only grope forward, and it was not until not long ago that I obtained some relatively advanced Dao techniques.

It was obtained from ancient books.

And this time, the new name Kaori brought him basic ancient books again, and he hasn't checked them yet, so it's hard to say whether these ancient books will hide any secrets.

But Qingming thinks there may be.

How do you say that sentence, anyway, "everything that the protagonist needs will be delivered to the protagonist through various forms" or something like that.

Although Qingming doesn't think of himself as the so-called protagonist or anything.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

In short, the current Qingming doesn't want to care about Conan's things, it is just a small matter in his opinion, and he doesn't need to care about it at all, and he has never cared about it.

"If you want to know, take this broken phone and ask a random conservatory, those teachers and students who study music can answer you, or go to what Otonogizaka Academy, Sakuragaoka Girls' High School, etc., to find those girls who are idols and play music, in short, don't come to me, a coffee shop owner in the lower district, except for a little confidence in mixed coffee, I don't know anything else."

Qingming shook his head and spoke.

Anyway, there was a lot of rambling, and Conan couldn't understand what he was talking about, but the meaning was roughly understood.

All in all, don't help.

Yes, not helping.

So in fact, this guy Qingming can help, which Conan can know.

Qingming is very powerful.

Because in the café, there is often a song called "sad Ayumi", which has never been heard anywhere else, but only in the café.

And the name of this tune......

Therefore, although Qingming said that it was not a song composed by him, everyone thought it was his.

Therefore, I think he is also very good at music.

Now he says he can't help, obviously he just doesn't want to help.

Conan was a little helpless.

Obviously, it only takes a minute or two to delay, but this guy Qingming doesn't help, and he is really not a good partner.

Maybe the idea of "asking Qingming for help" was a mistake from the start?

Conan pondered.

Qingming didn't care about his thoughts, just looked at the ancient books in his hand seriously.

This is the wisdom of the ancients.

It is also the inheritance of Chinese culture.

China has been able to inherit for thousands of years without interruption, not because of anything else, but because of these national cultures engraved in the bones.

Sayings, idioms, afterwords, etc., are all the crystallization of wisdom.

These alone may not take a lifetime to study thoroughly.

It's a pity that many people now forget how powerful and wise their own nation used to be, and instead think that Western culture is stronger or something.

It is okay to deny those in power, even to deny one's own nation......

That's not to mention for now.

Anyway, when the short life is over, it will eventually just turn into a handful of loess and disappear into the long river of history, leaving only those cultures that have been passed down for thousands of years.

And it will continue to be passed down after all.

……

Evening.

Sunset.

Leaving the coffee shop Qingming, back to the manor.

Came back a little early today, and the twin maids hadn't prepared dinner yet.

But Qingming doesn't care.

"Hoonami, Minaho, you eat yourself first when dinner is ready, don't come up and disturb me."

"Yes!"

The twin maids should be in unison.

They didn't know what Qingming wanted to do, but since it was Qingming's order, there was no need to ask too much, and there was no need to worry too much.

Qingming is not someone they need to worry about.

Gray Yuan came out of the underground laboratory and happened to see this scene.

I feel a little confused.

But Qingming turned around and went upstairs directly, and she didn't have a chance to ask, even if she asked, it was estimated that Qingming would not answer, so she didn't take it to heart.

Yawned and went to make tea.

Upstairs.

Qingming room.

Daoshu can do many things, such as hiding one book in another, and no one will find out, unless it is someone who also knows how to use Daoshu, and the attainment cannot be too low.

Qingming is a Taoist master.

Although it has always been only a research foundation, his attainments are not low, although Qingming himself doesn't know what level he is at.

Just getting started? Master? Master?

It doesn't matter.

Now, what Qingming needs to do is to check whether there are any secrets belonging to the Taoist priests hidden in the few ancient books brought by the new name Xiang Baoli.

This is important.
