A new day.

In the morning, in the coffee shop.

Today's Qingming still didn't go to school.

However, he was not looking through the old book as usual.

After greeting the guests and delivering the cake, Enomoto Azusa glanced at it in a hurry.

She thinks that today's Qingming seems a little strange.

Could it be that he was infected by Naoko Takei, and he didn't read books and was in a daze?

Thinking so, he took advantage of the lack of work and walked directly to the counter.

Usually at this time, I will chat with Qingming, although every time I get to the end, I will be teased by Qingming for a few words.

"The shopkeeper."

Called out, but there was no response.

This made Azusa Enomoto feel even more strange.

"The owner...... Shopkeeper? ”

"If there's something, I'm not deaf yet."

Qingming didn't raise his head, just kept looking at the counter table.

Maybe there's something on this table that appeals to him?

Azusa Enomoto glanced at it, but didn't find anything special.

It's better to say that there is nothing at all, nothing.

"Shopkeeper, are you alright?"

"What can I do?"

"It's okay, why don't you read the book and change it to a daze?"

Azusa Enomoto looked at him with wide eyes.

Since coming here to work, Qingming has been sitting at the counter reading books, occasionally distracted, but always holding the ancient book in his hand.

In other words, if you read a book for half a year or even longer, is there really so much content on it?

Or is reading a book a stroke at a time and reading it slowly?

"When did I go in a daze? I'm thinking. ”

"Thinking? Thinking about what? ”

"Think about it one day, if I push you down, will you just blacken me and cut me with a firewood knife?"

“……”

How should this be answered? How should I complain?

Azusa Enomoto said that she couldn't keep up with Qingming's thinking at all.

Again......

"This kind of problem still needs to be considered?"

"Oh?"

In this way, Qingming seems to be interested.

Raising his head, he looked at Azusa Enomoto with interest.

"You mean to say that you don't need to think about toppling you, you can just act?"

"Huh."

Azusa Enomoto laughed dryly.

"I mean, if I want to cut you, I don't have to wait for you to do anything, I want to kill you right now."

“……”

Qingming blinked and did not speak.

Just put your head down, put your right hand on the counter, and tap on the tabletop.

This means that he is still thinking.

"Now, Azi."

He spoke again, looking up at Azusa Enomoto.

This time, it seems to be more serious.

"Will you blacken?"

"Huh?"

Azusa Enomoto frowned and thought about it.

She still knows the meaning of blackening, Qingming explained it to her, and it seems that he wants to pull her into the house together.

But will she blacken the question......

"Mom told me to be a good boy."

She replied.

On his face, he also has a smile, which looks cute and kind.

"But if you really want to say it, blackening is still possible, what if I get some major blow and I have a nervous breakdown?"

"For example...... Abandoned by me? ”

“……”

In this regard, Azusa Enomoto did not speak, just rolled her eyes.

I'm not in a relationship, what are you abandoning?

Qingming didn't care about this, and changed the question.

"So, do you think that all human beings are pursuing their own interests?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

"Yes...... It should be said that human beings like to succumb to the domination of their own desires? ”

"It should ...... No way. ”

As for the answer to this question, Azusa Enomoto is a little unsure.

What is desire?

All kinds, greed, lust, and so on, are all desires.

Everyone has a wish to be realized, and if it sounds good, it is an ideal, and if it is ugly, it is desire.

"Looks like it will!"

Enomoto Zi's uncertain attitude seemed to make Qingming affirm the answer.

Standing up, leaning out, and leaning in front of Azusa Enomoto.

On his face, there was a smile that seemed to contain a little evil spirit.

"So, do you want to follow your desires and be an RBQ for me?"

“…… Die! ”

At this moment, Enomoto Azusa wanted to blacken very much, and then took a firewood knife to cut Qingming.

It's a big deal to give him a little paper money every year when it's Qingming in the future.

Also follow your own desires and be an RBQ......

How could she possibly have the desire to be an RBQ?

It's better to say that what she wants most now is not to be an RBQ, but to incarnate an RPG to bombard Qingming.

Angry, he didn't continue to talk nonsense with Qingming, turned around and left.

It's just a few steps before it stops.

Turning his head, he looked at Qingming who sat down again with some doubts.

I've never said anything so excessive before, what's wrong with it today?

And he is obviously a Taoist priest, and he once said that a Taoist priest is to be pure and have few desires.

Why did you suddenly talk about lust today?

"Strange!"

……

Afternoon.

After school.

Quantum didn't come, but Naoko Takei did.

didn't talk to Qingming, just ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window in a daze.

Could it be that you are addicted to drinking Meng Po soup?

Azusa Enomoto is curious about the behavior of this young girl who comes here every day.

But thinking about it, I glanced at Qingming again.

It's not so much that drinking coffee is addictive, but because of the presence of Qingming here?

This girl has a crush on Qingming?

I don't want to, if it's a fancy to it, then I should find a way to talk, instead of sitting there in a daze.

"It's weird!"

Shake your head.

After the coffee was served, Azusa Enomoto stepped aside again.

She didn't go to the counter, and the conversation in the morning made her very unhappy.

Qingming was still thinking and didn't read.

He was thinking about whether a person would be blackened.

Apparently yes.

At the same time, I am also thinking about the question of human nature.

In the past, because what I have been learning is "the beginning of human beings, the nature is good", so I can be regarded as a supporter of the theory of sexual goodness.

But is it really sexually good?

"In everyone's heart, there is a demon!"

The difference is only that some people lock up their inner demons, while others release them.

Release and then actions, thoughts are dominated by desires.

A lot of people are like that.

And what about himself?

Since there is a demon in everyone's heart, is he himself like this?

"Everybody can turn black!"

Stick out your tongue and lick the corners of your mouth.

There seemed to be a smile on his face.

The reason why I say "seemingly" is because if there is nothing, I feel that I am laughing at first glance, and I feel that I am not smiling at the second glance.

Inexplicable.

Azusa Enomoto thought he was very strange.

It seems that the whole person is changing in some strange direction.

This made Azusa Enomoto a little uneasy.

The sound of a bell "ding" brought her back from her contemplation.

The corners of his mouth are hooked, and a professional smile is revealed.

"Welcome."

She said.

It was a girl's voice that answered.

"What about international students?"

The only one who will call Qingming that is the only one is Suzuki Sonoko.

When I looked closely, I found that it was indeed Suzuki Sonoko who I knew, and Xiaolan was also together.

"The shopkeeper is over there."

Azusa Enomoto glanced at the counter.

Suzuki Sonoko also found out and walked straight over there.

Xiaolan didn't follow, but walked towards Naoko Takei.

"Naoko, here again today?"

“……”

There was only silence in response to her.

It wasn't until Xiaolan sat down in the seat in front of her that she didn't seem to notice someone approaching.

A little blankly glanced, the whole person's thinking and movements seemed to pause.

Only then did I remember the general.

"Maori."

"It's all said, just call me Lan."

"Oh."

Xiaolan was still smiling, and Naoko Takei just answered.

Glancing at the counter, his gaze paused on Sonoko Suzuki.

Retracted his gaze, supported his head with one hand, and looked out through the window, continuing to be in a daze.

The expression on his face, as melancholy as ever.

In this regard, Xiaolan could only sigh.

It seems like a lot has happened lately, a lot has changed, but nothing seems to have changed.

Is it all an illusion?
