52. My little shop is open again!
"Affection debt is really a stressful thing......"
Take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths. After receiving help from others, when the other party asks for something, there is not much position for me to refuse.
Xia is also helpless about this.
Originally, I had just come here as a collaborator to make soy sauce at the same time, and I expected that my life these days should be idle and leisurely, but now, I have to stay in a small shop to help the owner run and sell goods...... Whether there is a salary or not, it is two words.
Aisha had to leave for a while because she had something to do temporarily, so the shop could only be handed over to Lin to take care of for the time being, and because she had just received some favors from both the master and apprentice, Xia could only stay with Lin.
"Xia, if you look listless like this again, it will affect your business!"
"That's all that kind of thing! The weird decoration on the outside has already greatly affected the business, hasn't it? I thought it was selling all kinds of dark magic materials and items, so I came in and got caught by your wet sauce...... Seventy percent of the people who come in must not be good people!"
The store is decorated with a dark voodoo atmosphere, but in fact, the goods sold are still very serious types - which makes those customers with special needs attracted by the store embarrassed!
This is similar to the feeling of the next round of results to each other's dolls......
"Shame on you...... As a fugitive wanted criminal, he would one day sit in a voodoo shop and sell recovery medicine......"
Natsu said as he put his hood over his head.
β...... Xia If you cover your face with a hood, it really feels like a dark wizard's black magic shop~ It looks like this. Am I out of place here?"
Lin doesn't have the ability to constantly radiate malice and darkness to the dark wizard like Natsu - no matter how pretended. It's still the ghostly Lori. Even if she changed her outfit, Lin couldn't show a dark and decadent aura.
"Alas. It would be nice if we could sell some goods here ourselves...... It's a pity, it seems that this search is very strict, and if you carry uninspected and marked items for sale, if you are caught, you will go into the bureau to pick up soap, right?"
"There is a credit to Xia in this......
Lin was about to complain about the "cooperative behavior" that the water did not work before the summer, when suddenly the curtain at the door was pushed open, and a ray of sunlight followed into the room.
"Ahh
β...... Are there really any guests?, most of themβ"
Natsu stopped halfway through her words, but luckily it was just her own words, and she turned her attention to Rin, who was the guest at the door. I didn't notice the abnormality on Xia's side.
β......β
Before the "guests" noticed him, Xia lifted his hood, exposing his face to the sun, and at the same time, he also restrained some of the dark aura he had created before.
"Natsu?"
Xia's actions caught Lin's attention - Lin knew what to say, in most cases, Xia Ke would wear a hood to cover his face, and now such an abnormal behavior also made Lin realize something.
[Reverse camouflage...... In this way, Xia thinks that the other party may recognize her wearing a hood, and Xia is a person who is used to being alone. If it will have something to do with Xia...... No, it should be said that the person who connects that "relationship" is Xia as a "necromancer" and a member of a certain organization, right?]
And now. Natsu's behavior is obviously to prevent the other party from substituting himself into that mysterious and evil image.
"Welcome! We offer high-quality enchanted weapons and powerful recovery potions, which are great value for money, whether you are traveling at home or killing people!"
Xia strode forward. Keeping Lin behind him - obviously he was still lifeless and unmotivated before, but now Xia is unusually proactive.
"Don't you have a scorpion's tail or a bull's eyeball?"
It was a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume. The voice of the words he spoke was also very soft, just like his appearance. It has a lot of attraction - but after hearing the other party's voice, Lin subconsciously raised her eyebrows, because she was blocked by Xia, so Lin's small movements did not fall in the eyes of the other party.
[This guy ...... There is a certain amount of spiritual hint attached to the voice, will it make people unconsciously have a good impression of him?]
Lin can be said to be extremely sensitive to mental operations, and she sensed that something was wrong with the other party at the first time - and Lin also knew that in the same situation, some people were born, and some people were added by the day after tomorrow, and the "guest" in front of her was the latter. In any case, some small gestures were made in this regard, and such behavior had already aroused Lynn's disgust and vigilance.
"Really, Nazca City has been a bit of a mess lately, and I don't dare to sell those dangerous materials during this sensitive period......"
"That's right...... It's a pity, it seems that my teacher's research will have to wait a little longer. I searched for a long time but couldn't find these two rare materials, so I came to the annual Nazca City Trade Fair, but it seems that I came at the wrong time, just in time for it. β
"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, this year is not as close as usual, the management is extremely strict, and everyone is not willing to take risks at this time. β
Natsuya pretended that everything was normal, and took the other party's words as if nothing happened.
"It's a shame...... But it's a pity that I didn't find the materials I needed, but it's not a trip for nothing to meet two lovely young ladies, right?I should have left directly, but now I don't buy a little thing inappropriately, and I feel a little embarrassed~ Hmm...... Can you show me the enchanted weapons you sell here?"
"I didn't ...... No problem!"
Xia was about to reply to the other party, when Lin suddenly stood up from behind Xia and answered first.
Xia turned his head in surprise, after all, Lin's voice just now seemed to be a little excited. However, Xia couldn't help but laugh dumbly when she saw Lin's face crimson but recklessly refusing to retreat - this girl was pretending at all! Xia could also feel the abnormality in the other party's language, and Lin's ability Xia was also very clear, how could he be affected by such means?
Lin is completely pretending to be a shy girl who has been provoked by a handsome young man!
Xia thought about it carefully and understood the reason for Lin's behavior - she was a relatively older and more stable woman, and she did not show a certain degree of favor because of the other party's small actions, which can be understood as a woman's reserved...... But Lynn's appearance is still only a 12-year-old girl, and if a girl of this age ignores her "charm", it seems that there is something really abnormal. And Lin obviously thought of this, and was playing the role of a girl like herself "should have".
[Acting like this, there is no usual shame at all...... It seems that Lynn belongs to the kind of person whose shame is only associated with kindness. γ
The young man who thought that he had conquered the heart of a young girl with his "charm" would never have thought that the girl in front of him had already regarded himself as an enemy in his heart, and under the shy appearance, there was a cold hostility hidden - Lynn's shame would not appear with hostility.
"Well, that's a pretty good weapon...... Is it the work of this young lady?"
When he saw that the shopkeeper was a young girl, the young man didn't really take their products seriously. However, when he saw these enchanted weapons that Aisha "made with his hands", he was still slightly shocked.
"This is a trade secret~"
Xia replied humbly and arrogantly, and did not give the other party a loophole.
"If, I say, I want all of these weapons, is that okay?"
"No, you can only buy two weapons. "Aisha doesn't have such a rule, it's just Xia casually talking nonsense now, "Personally, I think that people who really need and will treat weapons well will not bring a bunch back like procurement." β
"But yes, I'm insulting these treasures by doing so......"
The young man in front of him seemed to really think about Xia's remarks, and after a while, he nodded in agreement: "I'm sorry, I apologize for what I said and did just now...... To those who have carefully forged these weapons, what I have just said and done is truly an insult. β
The young man suddenly became serious and serious, which startled Lin - but she skillfully disguised the past with her acting skills, after all, the girl's tempting gesture was still very deceptive.
[Seems to be a little different from the type I imagined?]
Lin secretly looked at Natsu, and Natsu also expressed her opinion to Rin with her gaze - just like you.
The young man's behavior Xia saw in his eyes, and with her vicious eyes, she could still tell what was disguised and what was sincere-the young man's later apologies were different from his previous words and deeds, and that was undoubtedly his sincere thoughts that he had not concealed.
"I'm going to be very embarrassed if you go online like this...... Anyway, my first job now is to sell things. β
"Uh......" The young man also realized that according to his own words, then he should not buy any weapons, and this is obviously not the situation that the seller wants to see, "Then, I can buy one, right?"
[It seems that the situation is a little different from what I expected......]
Xia also found out that the young man's masking skills were not very proficient, and it seemed that he was very concerned about some things in his heart, and when it came to them, he also removed the disguise on his face - this was very different from Xia's initial guess, according to Xia's thoughts, in that environment and status, this young man's current performance was inevitably a little Too young, too simple......
[I thought it was a very dull and boring organization, but it seems that it is not as boring as I imagined...... Hawkers,Anyway,At least my performance as an acting store manager is not zero......] (To be continued......
