In the end, Enomoto Azusa still chose to change the topic and looked at Qingming with some suspicion.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you help with Miss Champoli's father's affairs?"

"Help what?"

"Obviously you're a Taoist priest, if you're sick or something, you should have a way, right? For example, what kind of spells can be used to cure diseases, etc. ”

"Even if it's a Taoist priest, it's not omnipotent, Lord Yama wants to accept people, how can I stop it?"

Qingming shrugged.

"Besides, when I rushed over last night, it was already late, and if Kaobori had informed me earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been like this."

"Then why didn't she inform you?"

Azusa Enomoto asked.

But Qingming did not answer.

He didn't understand why the new name Kaori didn't notify him in the first place.

Maybe at first I thought it was just a small problem, so I didn't want to trouble him, or maybe it was for some other reason.

But either way, it's useless to dwell on that now.

Because no matter how entangled it is, the death of the new name Ren Taro has become a fact, and even if it is Qingming, there is no way to reverse the yin and yang to bring a dead person back to life.

After all, he is too weak, if he can be stronger, maybe there will be a way.

Let's not talk about that.

"Azi."

"Huh?"

"Perhaps, I should go too."

"Huh?"

Azusa Enomoto said she didn't understand.

Time to go?

"Where are you going? Go home? Back to China? Or ......"

"I don't know."

"Huh?"

"How can I say it......"

Qingming put down his fork.

The cake was already finished, so I picked up the biscuit and threw it in my mouth, talking as I ate.

"Maybe out of this world."

“……”

"Don't get me wrong, I just got a book about space dao before, do you understand space? That's it...... Parallel space and the like, recent research has come to an eyebrow, and it may be possible to leave this world and go to another world. ”

Qingming explained.

It's something he's always wanted to do, and now he's got a silver lining, so he won't miss it.

Gotta go.

But before leaving, there were still some things that he couldn't let go, or some people made him feel at ease.

For example, Azusa Enomoto.

And for Enomoto Zi, Qingming's statement caught her a little off guard.

"The ......"

"Don't worry, I'll be back."

Qingming waved his hand.

If he could come back, he certainly wouldn't mind coming back to this world again, although he didn't like it very much.

But the problem is, he doesn't know what the consequences will be.

Maybe you will die on the first try, or maybe you will be lost in the endless time and space, and you will never be able to return to this world, so you can only go with the flow like a rootless pinch.

After all, it's about space, and it's dangerous.

But Qingming won't say this.

He didn't feel the need to explain this, and even if he did, Azusa Enomoto might not be able to understand it.

Eating cookies.

looked at Azusa Enomoto, who was standing in front of him, frowning.

She may already be worried.

"Now, Azi."

"Huh?"

"Do you want to learn Taoism from me?"

"Taoism?"

Azusa Enomoto was stunned again.

In the past, Qingming never seemed to ask this kind of question, and she didn't ask if she could learn it, but she was still full of curiosity about things like Taoism in her heart.

If you can learn, I believe that no one will refuse.

But she was a little confused.

"Why?"

“？”

"All of a sudden, I was asked if I wanted to study, and it always felt like a conspiracy."

“……”

Qingming looked at Enomoto Azusa who seemed to have begun to be on guard a little speechlessly, and felt a little helpless in his heart.

So this ......

Well, that's not the point either.

"It's just to ask if you want to learn, if you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Hmmm......"

Finding that Qingming didn't look like a conspiracy, Enomoto Azusa also began to think about it seriously.

Daoshu ......

She didn't know much about it.

However, I also know some more representative things, such as sprinkling beans into soldiers, and in addition to that, drawing talismans to catch ghosts or something, they are all superficial things.

Of course, these all look interesting.

But learn the words......

"Forget it."

She still shook her head in refusal.

"I don't even know much about Chinese characters, and I can't understand many articles, let alone your Taoist scriptures."

Although she is studying.

However, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to learn anything useful so quickly, and if it is not for the neon words and culture, many of which are branches of Chinese culture, it will be even more difficult to learn.

She was barely able to make everyday conversations fluent now.

But the Taoist scriptures are all ancient articles.

She may not even understand the modern articles of Huaxia, and she can't understand those ancient articles, and some things, it is difficult for people who are not born and raised in China to understand the essence of them.

Without waiting for Qingming to say anything, a "ding" prompted a guest to come.

So Enomoto Azusa passed.

Qingming looked at her busy back and shook his head.

"If you don't learn, you won't learn."

Anyway, it doesn't have to be taught by her, it's more, it's just a whim to ask.

Didn't say much.

Drinking coffee and eating biscuits, he lowered his head and picked up the one he put aside and looked at it.

Today and yesterday don't seem to be much different.

What about tomorrow?

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

……

Evening.

Off-duty hours.

From not closing the door all day and all night at the beginning, to opening the door on time and closing on time now, this can be said to be a very big change.

But no one seems to care about such a change.

Between Qingming and Enomoto Azusa, there doesn't seem to be much change.

If I really want to say it, it seems that Qingqing's "attacks" against Enomoto Azusa have become much less, and I don't know when they started.

That's fine.

You know,The sexual (beep~) disturbance before Qingming is very distressing to Enomoto Azusa.。

But how should I say it......

Sometimes it feels like I've been alienated, and I feel uncomfortable.

"I'm leaving, shopkeeper, see you tomorrow."

"Oh."

Qingming nodded.

Watching the back of Enomoto Azusa gradually disappearing and blending into the crowd, he sighed lightly.

"See you tomorrow."

If there is tomorrow.

However, maybe every day has to be spent as if it was the last day, because I don't know when, maybe I will never wake up after sleeping.

It's not impossible.

"Aha......"

Yawning, he turned around and walked in the direction of the manor.

I do feel a little tired.

As the sky gradually darkened, the street lamps on both sides, the neon lights of the shops, etc., also lit up one after another, either steadyly, or constantly flickering and changing the color of the lights.

There aren't many pedestrians yet.

Maybe have dinner at home or something, and after a while, the night will become lively.

But now, it's still a bit deserted.

Occasionally, passing by people in pairs, they are clear and lonely.

"At least better than Kobayashi-kun."

He thought so.

Anyway, if you want to appear to be happy, you just have to compare yourself with those who are unfortunate.

A lot of people do.

Build your own happiness on the pain of others.

"That's a good idea."

Qingming shook his head.

But when it came to Kobayashi-kun's words, he suddenly remembered.

"Kobayashi-kun seems to have been missing a lot lately, so what is he doing? Women's live broadcast went? No, no, that guy won't be so undisciplined, it is estimated that the women's clothing aid (beep~) handed it over. ”

He muttered.

It seems that this world is full of malice towards Kobayashi-kun.

But this has nothing to do with Qingming.

For the current Qingming, what he wants to do most is to leave this world as soon as possible.

Then, find the meaning of your existence.

People have to live for something, someone, or something, and if they live just for the sake of living, it's like the walking dead.

This is the case with Qingming now.

Maybe he goes to other places, maybe he meets more people with ability, and he can gradually find the meaning of his existence.

Or maybe not.

But either way, you have to give it a try.
