Furusawa felt that he should retract the preface.
- It doesn't mean that I'm thinking about leaving, but that I've been careless lately.
He stood in front of the counter, his face expressionless, and he had already stared at Osamu Dazai face to face with the bandage in front of him for a moment.
It's not that I'm too careless at all.,It's definitely bad luck.,Bad luck.,Otherwise, how to explain the day before yesterday and Mori Ouwai in the same room.,And the middle is not happy.,Today the black mud spirit came to the bookstore.γ
Speaking of bookstores, the clerk who was in charge of taking care of the store manager had no intention of continuing to open, but now the situation in Yokohama is getting worse and worse, and even if the business situation is bleak every day, there will be damage to the store and danger to his life.
People who are over half a hundred years old don't know where the bull temper comes from, and even sneak out of the house to come and see.
The clerk had no choice but to open temporarily, but he only stabilized the old store manager under the pretext of finding someone to help take care of it, hoping that he would not run around by himself so disregardively.
Furuzawa Qianjima glanced down at the books on the side of the counter, which often changed and needed to be put back on the shelves, as well as the money occasionally left in the mezzanine, combined with the cat food in the corner of the counter storage cabinet, and probably guessed who would come quietly at a fixed time.
He also learned a little bit from the clerk about the accidental fall, and it is said that he felt someone helping him in the back, so he didn't suffer too serious injuries, maybe the old store manager mistook it for some kind of blessed god, so he was even more concerned.
However, Furusawa Senjima knew that it was the hidden Natsume teacher, a cat wandering around Yokohama but still coming over to eat and drink every day unharmed, and all kinds of signs also showed that someone was taking care of this place behind his back, and the conclusion was naturally only this "Mr. Cat".
- According to the current plot, Osamu Dazai definitely didn't come to look for the cat, so it's naturally clear who he is looking for.
Furuzawa Senjima refocused his attention on the boy who walked into the bookstore as if to pass the time, and the other party was still browsing the titles of the books in front of the rows of bookshelves, and he took a book from time to time when he was bored, and casually flipped a few pages as he walked and stuffed them back into the bookshelf.
It's obvious to increase the workload for yourself.
If he didn't take the initiative to ask, he might have more work left when the other party came over by himself.
"Guest, what kind of book are you looking for?" Furusawa Senjima reluctantly walked out of the counter and stepped forward to ask.
Osamu Dazai seemed to have just noticed that there was still a clerk there, and he turned his head to look at him to express his doubts, and then lit up slightly.
At this time, Furusawa Qiandao's mood cooled slightly with the change in his eyes.
"I'm looking for a book with the most comprehensive detailed tutorial on suicide in the world!" Osamu Dazai replied to him.
Oh...... It's the Complete Suicide Handbook.
Furusawa Senjima was silent for two seconds, then turned around and walked to a bookshelf, pulling the book off the shelf that looked different from the dark spine around him, and then turned his head to see the other party standing close and staring at him.
He took a deep breath before shoving his heart back into place, his eyes frowning slightly with the panic and condemnation that happened to be taken aback.
ββ¦β¦ Are guests looking for this strange book? β
When he saw this book, he knew it, and he guessed that sooner or later Osamu Dazai would come here, but this book was not only sold in this bookstore, so naturally he didn't think about it again.
Who knows if there will be a day when they will have their own water reversal...... Even today, even the senior clerks are not there, and it is not okay to find an excuse not to contact the other party.
Osamu Dazai glanced at the book twice, his face burst out with simple surprise, and he cheered happily, and stepped forward to take the book, which was said to be "a suicide tutorial that I haven't found in many bookstores".
I don't know if it's a casual question or a heart, he suddenly said to Furuzawa Qianjima, "Mr. clerk, you seem to be more familiar with the books here than the previous clerk, and you have been working here for a long time." β
The so-called unfolding topic is so unexpected.
Furusawa Qiandao looked down at the black mud spirit who was a little shorter than himself, comforted a little, and replied: "It's not long, when it wasn't so chaotic a few years ago, I worked here for a while. β
However, at that time, the senior clerks did often touch fish, and the other party was basically nowhere to be seen during the time the store manager was there.
"Hmm...... I see. Osamu Dazai was slightly surprised, "But after a while, you're still so familiar with the book placement here, it's really amazing." β
"If I really want to say it, it's because there are basically no new books in stock," Furuzawa said, looking at the adjacent bookshelf, "It's exactly the same thing, and if it's printed and revised, it's treated as new, and then it's put into the original area repeatedly." β
"Ohβis that why you're so familiar with the location of the book?" Osamu Dazai picked up the book again and looked left and right, with joy in his eyes.
"I have a lot of like-minded peopleβ"
"No, it's just that the book has been in that position for too long, and it hasn't changed at all." Furusawa Senjima shattered his thoughts, indifferently interrupted and dismissed the sentence, "The book next to it has been revised several times, but this one has always been placed there like this." β
Osamu Dazai's expression instantly sank, and he looked at Furuzawa Senjima with resentment and said, "I said...... Mr. clerk, can you please not spoil the atmosphere so much, I am kind enough to stay here for a long time. β
Is it kind enough to add to the indifferent workload? Thank you for not being sensitive.
Furusawa didn't speak, but his eyes showed his impatience.
"Do you have any questions other than looking for this book? If you don't have it, let's go to the front desk and pay the bill. β
- Although it is a question whether the other party has money or not.
Osamu Dazai nodded his chin with his index finger, thought for a while, and suddenly bloomed with a smile similar to a night flower, and said to Furuzawa Qianjima: "There is one more question, that is...... Why should you be afraid of me? Except when I came in just now, it's only when you're usually near the clinic and you observe me from a distance, it shouldn't be in the sheep's territory. β
The approaching teenager bowed slightly, and the figure of the child in the light-colored shirt was obviously weak enough to be knocked down with a punch, but a certain characteristic conveyed made people unable to move.
This person's dark eyes exuded a malicious intent like a substance, like a bottomless pool, and the breathing of Furuzawa Qiandao at close range was almost stagnant at this moment.
"As it is nowβ" he said, holding out his hand to the stunned man.
- Will it attack? This kind of frightened reaction usually triggers a defensive reflex when you go beyond a safe distance, and you attack instinctively, right? At present, the only thing that the other party has touched is the book and the bookshelf next to it, so which one will be used as a weapon?
In the case of a book, it is the trigger time limit of the ability, and in the case of a bookcase, it is the weight and choice...... If it's neither, it's an iron nail in his pocket, it's a customary or limited item, will there be other possibilities at the moment when he is attacked?
Before Osamu Dazai could come into contact with the uncertain Furusawa Senjima, a loud bell rang at the door, a doorbell that would only be bumped into when the guest opened the door, and the clerk who might be lazy after urging the bookshelf quickly appeared.
Furusawa Qiandao came back to his senses, and subconsciously glanced at the person in front of him, who was already holding the book and walking in the other direction, and hurriedly took a deep breath while holding the bookshelf next to him, while holding his beating heart and secretly calling out for help.
Why can the so-called "darkness" and "death"-like aura described in the text really exist in reality across a world!! His soul flew out just now! I almost even had a marquee in front of me!
"Qiandao, what are you doing holding on to the bookshelf?" Nakahara's suspicious voice sounded in his ears.
Furusawa Qiandao was shocked again, turned his head and found that the person who opened the door and came in was Nakahara Nakaya, and suddenly the thoughts and grievances that seemed to be unhappy yesterday disappeared together.
He quickly straightened up, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I accidentally slipped just now." How did you get here? β
Then he looked over to the other person's figure and glanced at the person who was quietly waiting for the checkout in front of the counter not far away, wondering if they had just met.
"Is it really okay...... Nakahara also muttered in a low voice, and then replied, "Isn't there anything you can't take a look at?" When I heard that the bookstore was still open and you weren't there, I thought you were here. What about the clerk? β
"He's gone to take care of the store manager, and now there's basically no one there, so he just left the job of taking care of this place to me." Furusawa Senjima said as he pushed Nakahara Nakaya out of the narrow path between the bookshelves.
"yes, you're really good talkers."
"It's not a good thing to talk about...... Anyway, the hourly wage has also increased, so I don't think it matters. Furusawa Chijima shrugged, then turned to the counter and expertly packed the book and handed it over.
"It's a total of xx yuan. This is your book, please take it. β
Nakahara Nakaya caught a glimpse of the book that Osamu Dazai had bought, and watched the other party happily leave with the book, before complaining to Furusawa Senjima about how there could be such a strange book in the store.
"Is this bookstore really okay...... And what's even more outrageous is that there are actually people who buy it. "He couldn't believe it.
Out of a slightly deep feeling of helplessness about this world literature, and a little absent-mindedness, Furusawa Senjima did not tell Nakahara Nakaya, this is the only person he has seen who has bought this book since it appeared.
So he could only be embarrassed for two seconds, and sighed: "Yes......"
So what was Osamu Dazai going to do just now? Just scare yourself? No kidding, it's really scary......
