【Grave of the Fireflies】Chapter 1 Infinite Pawn Shop

……

Dongying calendar, Showa 20 years, the world-class war has come to an end, in this world-class war Dongying as a subject country of the Han Dynasty, also affected by the impact of the war, once even the Han Dynasty itself was invaded, not to mention Dongying, now the Han Dynasty is also in danger of entering the important moment of the two princes to seize the heir, there is no time to protect Dongying, at this time Dongying also had to face the war, and strive to resist, the navy and air force established by the whole country were almost wiped out in this war.

It was in the midst of such a world-class war that Toei, the most famous city of Kobe, was also attacked by foreign aircraft airstrikes, and more than one-third of the entire urban area of Kobe City was burned down behind empty ridges, with nearly 10,000 people killed and more than 150,000 injured in the immediate aftermath!

On the eve of such a special disaster, a native of the Central Plains from the Han Dynasty, the suzerain, came to this prosperous city, bought a house in a quiet civilian area, and opened a pawnshop called "Infinite Pawn Shop" that puzzled the Dongying people.

Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang Bang ......

In the crackling sound, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and a 20-year-old Central Plains man, wearing the most popular slender white Zhongshan suit in the Central Plains, stood at the door of the pawnshop, and smiled and said to the surrounding Dongying spectators: "Infinite pawn shop, open today, everything is exemplified, everything is improper, unlimited acquisition, life and death, life and death, life and love, death and resentment, and those who are destined can come to be!" ”

Rushing~~

I don't know when. A large stack of black leaflets and papers fluttered in the sky, like black snowflakes scattered on the horizon. An older white-haired old man among the onlookers reached out and grabbed one and took a look.

Unlimited pawns, life and death, no matter what you need, you can pawn it, as long as you pay the equivalent price! ――【Infinite Pawn Shop】

Plain white Chinese characters are written on black paper. As a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, Dongying has admired the Central Plains for a long time, and the vast majority of Dongying people can read and write as long as they have gone to school, and this white-haired old man is naturally no exception.

"Pawn everything? I want my youngest son to come back safely. Can it be done? Hey...... "The old man's name is Higashijima Sono, he is a retired soldier, he has three sons who have been personally sent to the army, and the eldest son is the army. The second son is in the Air Force. The younger son is in the navy, but his eldest son died in battle a year ago, and the second son also died in the war half a year ago! In just one year, two sons died in a row, and Higashijima's ambitions were so anxious that he seemed to have turned white overnight and aged twenty years old, and now only the youngest son is still serving in the navy. Recently, however, there have been reports of war failures in the navy, and the navy has been destroyed in formation. Higashijima Sono was scared, he was afraid that his youngest son would also die on the battlefield, and that was his last son.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd, it turned out that when everyone picked up the black paper, the Central Plains man had disappeared, and at the same time, the infinite pawn shop plaque behind the Central Plains person also gradually disappeared in everyone's perspective, and at the same time, the black paper sprinkled on the ground disappeared, flashing with a strange luster in the disillusionment, it seemed to be just a blink of an eye, like an illusion, and there was no trace.

Jinni? Devil? Death? Devil? Demon? The fear of the unknown is spreading like an infectious disease, the Dongying people are the most believed, the country that is afraid of the gods, the whole country has eight million gods, it can be seen how strong this fear atmosphere is, at this time in the face of such a strange event, the bold and frightened legs tremble, trembling slightly, the timid, even more like the fear of snakes and scorpions, far away from the black leaflet in their hands, turn their heads and run.

For a while, the crowd of onlookers ran clean, but no one knew that in these crowds, there were so many people who took the black leaflets, but did not throw them away, but put them in their arms or pockets, and did not want to put them down.

Among them is a white-haired old man with a withered face, who is Higashijima Sonono!

Night, the night is not cold, the stars in the sky are twinkling, shining, extremely beautiful, there is an old man, holding a black paper in his hand, guided by an unknown force, into a deep alley, to the end of the alley, the black paper brush flew to the wall at the end of the alley, the black light is fluctuating, the black paper is magnifying, quickly expanding to a black door that is enough for one person to enter.

Higashijima Sonono, pinched his arm stiffly, lowered his head, pondering, he was hesitating, he was afraid, and a clear voice came from the black door: "Mr. Higashijima, if you don't want to pawn, you can leave." ”

No! For the sake of Saburo, I can't go, I'm already old, the bloodline of the Higashishima family still needs Saburo inheritance, it doesn't matter if I die, even if you are a devil, I ......

Higashijima no longer hesitated, and entered the black door without looking back, black swallowed his figure, and he entered a palatial living room, which is the most popular place in Japan comparable to a seven-star hotel and luxurious, tables and chairs from the Central Plains, wooden floors, carpets from the ancient Persian country, English crystal chandeliers, and exquisite gramophones from German......

Everything is so luxurious, which makes Dongdao Yuanye lose his mind for a moment, he thought that he would come to a terrible realm like a god, a demon, a demon and a ghost, but he didn't expect it to be like entering the mansion of a certain nobleman, oh, Dongdao Yuanye is also a person who has seen the world, he thinks that even the great nobles of Dongying Country may not have the pomp and circumstance here.

In the middle of the living room, a man sat cross-legged at a Dongying-style tea table, and the tea had been poured in front of him, the man poured a cup with a gentle smile, lifted it, and motioned for him to sit down.

Higashijima Sonono bowed ninety degrees, and said respectfully with sincere fear: "I don't know what the godname of the adult is?!" ”

"You sit down first."

"Yes!" Higashijima Sonono nodded in response, simply sat down opposite the man, lowered his head, picked up the tea, and took a sip gently, oh! Dongdao Yuanye couldn't help but snort, because what he drank was the best Longquan tea in the Central Plains, which is the best that only the great nobles can occasionally drink, and it is said that it is a tea that can only be grown in the divine realm and the spiritual realm, with an aura that is difficult for mortals to reach.

After taking a sip of tea, there were streams of heat pouring into his body and limbs, warm, Dongdao Sonono relaxed, and the whole person's spirit was completely relieved because of excessive anxiety.

"I'm not a god, you don't need to call me any lord, if you have to call me by a name, because I am the owner of this infinite pawn shop, you can call me Shopkeeper Wang, or Mr. Wang." (To be continued.) )
