[Comprehensive] How to be a good onmyoji?

Earl D went out to entertain the guests full of resentment that he could not eat dessert. He knew that when he came, he should have hung a big sign saying that business is closed today.

Seeing Earl D leave with resentment, Shuqing also asked in a low voice: "Does D like dessert very much?"

"Yes, Earl is addicted to sweets, and he likes desserts very much." The little girl smiled and brought Shu Qingyi another plate of desserts, "Guests eat more, this is bought in the store with the best business , the Earl has been thinking about it for a long time."

The little girl is not tall, and the top of Shu Qingyi's head is only parallel to Shu Qingyi's eyes when he is sitting.He has a lively personality and looks very cute.

Curly hair, like a doll.

Shu Qingyi doesn't have any ability to resist the children now, when the little girl opened her mouth to talk about Shu Qingyi, she was dizzy and persuaded to eat more than half of the desserts on the table.

When he came back to his senses, Shuqing was also a little embarrassed: "...Will D be angry when he comes back?"

"No! The Count is very good to his friends!"

I don't know if the little girl is telling the truth, but seeing the innocent smile on her face, Shu Qing still chooses to believe what the little girl said.

She looks so cute and well-behaved, and what she says must be true!

The guests who came this time did not seem to be ordinary guests. Earl D led the people in and chose an inconspicuous little thing to wrap it up.The scruffy, unshaven man lowered the brim of his hat and left with it.

When I came back, I saw that there were not many desserts left on the table, which broke Earl D's heart instantly.But it was not easy to show it in front of Shu Qingyi, so he could only forcefully smile with tears in his eyes and ate the dessert that was saved for him.

Seeing that it was not too late, Earl D decisively closed the door and stopped doing business.He led Shuqing to the dessert shop under the Itami department store and lined up to buy desserts.

After eating such a small piece, it disappeared. This feeling made Earl D feel as if a cat's paw was scratching his heart, so he put it down no matter what.

There are not many people queuing up to buy this dessert, but looking at the long queue in the line.I'm afraid it will take more than half an hour to wait, and the bored Shu Qing also took out the home video recorder and fiddled with it.Strive to reach the level of a master apprentice when videotaping your own cubs.

"D, do you like dessert very much?" While patting the passers-by, Shu Qingyi talked to Earl D.

Earl D held Xiao Q in his hand and stroked it, paying attention to the situation at the front all the time, and nodded slightly: "I still like it quite a bit."

"Hey, how about this, to thank you for accompanying me to buy such a home video recorder, and for giving me so many suggestions. You list the desserts you want to eat, and I will make a few for you when I go back. You don’t have to take pictures of such a long line.”

Shu Qing also put the video recorder into the case with a smile, and expressed his gratitude to Earl D.

Although the desserts in this shop taste good, compared with his craftsmanship, they are still a little bit inferior.

He has learned to make things for more than 100 years, usually to satisfy his own appetite.It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as it is what Shuqing wants to eat, go through the tutorial steps and have the necessary equipment.The things that are made are no worse than those sold. The more they are made, the more experience they have accumulated, and even the taste will get better and better.

Therefore, people like Shu Qingyi don't understand how people like kitchen killers exist.

Or maybe, Shu Qingyi's culinary skills are obvious without needing to click.

This time, Earl D was even more interested: "Do you still know how to make desserts?"

"That's not right!" Shu Qing also proudly puffed out her small chest, trying to make herself look more reliable, "Not to mention anything else, if I don't have a little craftsmanship, I can make all the cubs in my family Is the food provided fat for nothing?"

Apart from the fact that it is a pity that he is not tall, the other Shuqing also did quite well.

Now it's not just that the small ball develops sideways and looks like a chubby little chubby pier.Even the other cubs have started to develop like Xiao Ciqiu. They are fat and white, like cubs that weigh three hundred catties.

On the contrary, some girls usually still care about their body shape and appearance, while other boys have already let themselves go.

Especially the two small ones are fat and round like a big ball.

"Since Mr. Shu said so, I really want to try it."

Earl D is very face-saving and makes Shu Qingyi very happy: "We are all neighbors, why are we so unfamiliar. Don't call me Mr. Shu, just call me Qing Yi."

"Okay, Qingyi."

Earl D was as good as he was, and changed his title without any obstacles.

He and Shuqing were right in predicting that the queue lasted for about 40 minutes before finally arriving at Earl D.Satisfied, he bought his beloved cake back, and there were pink bubbles floating around Earl D's body the whole way.

I don't know, but I thought Earl D had something great happen to him.

The mountain where Shu Qingyi and Earl D live is the town where Natsume lives.After walking down the Shinkansen, you have to pass through this small town to go up the mountain.

In the evening, the sun was hanging in the west and half of the face was covered by the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it would go down anytime and anywhere.

And at this time, it is also the time when the school in the small town ends.

Teacher Cat jumped up and down chasing a few little butterflies and ran happily, but also followed Natsume's side all the time without being too far away.When the flight of a little butterfly slowed down, Mr. Cat was also vigilantly approaching slowly with his waist bent and catwalks.With a sudden leap forward, the whole cat's face immediately burrowed into the ground, and a carp came straight over and rolled over.

Instead of catching the butterfly, he made himself ashamed, looking extremely embarrassed.

And that butterfly seemed to be laughing at Mr. Cat, and flew around Mr. Cat for a circle, then caught up with the other teams and flew away.

Teacher Cat lay on the ground and reacted for a long time, then sat up and stretched out his paws to rub the dirt on his face: "Natsume! Look, the butterflies are starting to laugh at me now!"

Natsume had already laughed all the way watching Teacher Cat's behavior, and now hearing Teacher Cat's angry accusation, she couldn't help laughing: "Teacher, do you want to go to Miss Yuko's for a drink?"

"Yes, yes!" As soon as he heard about drinking, Mr. Cat immediately put the matter aside.He ran to Natsume and jumped up and down, very excited, "Natsume Natsume, let's go, let's find Yuko to drink! Drink, drink!"

Teacher Cat was as cheerful as a child who gained three hundred catties. After bouncing around for a while, he suddenly stopped, and quickly ran to Natsume's side and said, "Natsume Natsume, do you think the one over there is Shu Qingyi?"

Natsume stopped in her tracks, looked up and said, "It's Qingyi."

But who is that person next to him?

Natsume noticed it, and Mr. Cat obviously noticed it too.Picking up Natsume's trousers, she ran down the clothes and lay on Natsume's shoulder by the way: "Hey? There seems to be a stranger beside Shu Qingyi, should we go over and say hello?"

"Go, let's go up the mountain together by the way."

Xia Mu has not been idle these days, and has been thinking about how to help Shu Qingyi promote the store.It's not enough to just distribute leaflets, and even if there is a website, if no one attracts traffic, no one will pay too much attention to such a webpage.

By the way, Natsume also read all kinds of anecdotes and some strange things from the past.

Among them, I saw an urban legend that has been circulating for a long time.

The "Hell Communication" that can only be accessed at midnight, as long as there is unquenchable resentment in your heart, you can successfully log in to this website.Fill in the name, and a hell girl will appear, sending the resentful person to hell.

At first, Natsume didn't take such an urban legend to heart, thinking it was a false legend.

It is clearly written that this legend has existed for more than 400 years, but 400 years ago, even computers did not appear, so how could there be such a thing as a website?

So Natsume thinks that this is just a matter of telling people to watch and play.

Until Natsume dug out another message, the hell communication was divided into three stages.In the Edo period, resentful people found a black wooden sign in the shrine, and wrote the name of the resented person on it.After the newspaper appeared, the resentful person would see the contact information of the hell girl in a certain blank space of the newspaper, and the client would write the name of the resented person and put it in the mailbox.

After computers became available, the website of "Hell Communication" gradually replaced the above method.

The description was very organized and very real, which also made Natsume's heart skip a beat.Show these pieces of information to Teacher Cat.

Teacher Cat glanced at it but did not deny it, nor nodded, but said: "I have never experienced this kind of thing, so I don't know, but you can show it to Shu Qingyi, maybe you can get the secret of doing business from it." Woolen cloth."

Xia Mu suddenly realized, so he thought about going up the mountain on the weekend to tell Shu Qingyi.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to go up the mountain, he met him at the territory week.

Natsume didn't think much about it, and was about to wave to say hello, but Teacher Cat immediately covered her mouth with her dirty paws: "Natsume wait a minute," Teacher Cat stared at the person next to Shu Qingyi with a heavy expression on his face. , "I feel that person is not simple."

"Not easy? Could it be a big monster from a certain mountain?" Natsume took off Mr. Kitty's paw and wiped the corner of his mouth, "Could it be someone from the other side of the field?!"

When Shu Qing also went to look for him at that time, he was mercilessly sarcastic at the scene.Don't just settle accounts after the fall, come here for revenge, right?

It's not to blame that Natsume thinks the field is so bad, but Natsume's first impression of the scene is very bad.

He ordered his shikigami to capture the monsters in the mountains, sealed them up for no reason, and locked him and Mr. Cat.This kind of experience will never make Natsume have a good impression of the field.

In addition, the tone of Yuchang talking to Natsume at that time also made Natsume a little disgusted.

"No." Teacher Cat's eyes narrowed, and he carefully narrowed his eyes to look at the person. "That person gives people a very strong impression, much stronger than the field."

It’s fine if it’s not an occasion, and taking advantage of Teacher Mao not responding, Xia Mu waved his hand and called Shu Qingyi to say hello: “Qing Yi!”

The angry cat teacher pressed his paw on Natsume's shoulder: "Natsume, you have never listened to me!!"

"Teacher, there's Qingyi over there, how embarrassing it is to see him without saying hello," Natsume said with a smile, "Besides, didn't we go up the mountain to find him? We will meet sooner or later, if we don't look for him It's been a while."

Teacher Cat was choked, unable to turn the huge cat's head aside angrily: "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, I can't say no to you!"

Hearing the sound, Shuqing also turned his head and looked over, just in time to see Natsume carrying a bag and a fat cat teacher squatting on his shoulder: "Hi Natsume, what a coincidence! I'm going to find you."

When Natsume came over, Shuqing also introduced: "Xiamu, this is a new neighbor who just moved here not long ago, called Earl D. You can call him D or Earl. This is my deputy store manager. Usually help me deal with some problems, called Natsume Takashi."

After introducing the two people to each other, they shook each other's paws, and Shuqing also looked at the sky: "Xiamu, you follow me up the mountain at this time, and it will be dark when you come back, right? Aunt Tazi won't worry You."

"No, I'll tell you about the promotion in the past, and I won't waste too much time," Natsume smiled and turned to the side, revealing Mr. Cat, "Also, Mr. Cat still wants to have a few drinks with Miss Yuko." Take a sip of wine."

Shuqing also took a look at Teacher Mao, suddenly remembered a very important thing, and suddenly felt bad: "Oh! I forgot to bring back two carts of wine for Yuko!!!"

It's over, Yuko asked and ran out when he was going out, and asked him to bring the wine back with thousands of reminders.He also said that if he couldn't bring back the two big carts, it would be good to bring a few bottles for her to rescue.

As a result, Shuqing didn't bring a single bottle, and forgot all about it.

When he was about to walk to the door, Shu Qingyi felt very guilty.Hiding behind Natsume and Earl D, let them look around secretly as a cover, and whispered: "Did Yuko come out? Yuko didn't come out yet?"

The guilty Shu Qing also didn't know how to face Yuko, and could only hide for a while.

"No," Natsume helped to investigate the enemy's situation, "Yuko hasn't come out yet, so hurry up and go back in this gap, close the door before Yuko comes out and you'll be fine."

Shuqing also nodded, and quickly walked away from this place with the cat on her waist and tiptoes.Soon to be close to victory, Shu Qing, who could walk into the yard in the next second, couldn't help but let go of his heart, but he didn't want to... at this moment...

Yuzi's faint voice came out: "Qing Yi, where are the two carts of wine you promised to buy me?"

"..." It was only a fraction of a second before he could open the door and walk into the yard!In Shu Qingyi's heart, he was very upset!

Shu Qing also turned around, and said with a bright smile, "Oh, it's Yuko. What a coincidence, we met here!" But the palms of his hands were covered with cold sweat.

Yuzi was holding a small folding fan with lace in her hand, fanning it once and for all, her tone was unusually flat: "It's not a coincidence, I stayed here specially to wait for Qing Yi to come back. So, Qing Yi, Where are my two big carts of wine??"

Shuqing also sighed, blew on the ground to blow away the dust, and sat down at the gate in despair: "I'm sorry, Yuko, I got lost when I came back, and I'm just trying to find the way, so let me tell you about this matter." I forgot. How about I take it with me when I go down the mountain next time?"

"Oh," Yuzi also imitated Shu Qingyi's posture and sat down, half leaning against the door frame, "I've already counted that I have no wine to drink, little rice cake, I'm afraid you will come here for nothing this time. I I drank all the stored wine yesterday by myself."

"what?!!!"

Teacher Cat jumped up from Yuko's shoulder, and his tone was full of disappointment: "Hey, I finally found such a drinking buddy who can drink together so happily, but in the end, this opportunity was also deprived?"

Teacher Mao and Yuzi sang together there, making the guilty Shuqing feel even more guilty: "Well... If you don't mind, I'll brew some wine for you tomorrow, okay?"

Both pairs of eyes looked at Shu Qingyi in unison, the scene was silent.It was Yuzi who had experienced a big scene and was the first to speak: "Qing Yi, you actually know how to make wine?"

"It will be a little bit, if you don't mind..."

"I don't mind, I don't mind, how could I mind!" Yuko's sad expression just now was wiped out, and when she stood up, she hugged Teacher Cat, "Let's go to the rice cake, let's go drink!!"

When the figure of Yuko holding the cat teacher disappeared and was no longer visible, Shu Qingyi opened his mouth and made a sound.Pointing there with a confused face, turning his head and talking to Natsume and Earl D in a daze: "What's the situation?? Didn't Yuko say it herself just now, she has no wine storage?!"

Xia Mu looked at Shu Qingyi with a loving look in his eyes. He had known Yuzi for so long, and it was really difficult to believe what Yuzi said: "Let's go, let me tell you what I found."

"Count, do you want to come with me?"

Earl D, who was invited, looked at the small cake in his hand, and thought about what Shu Qingyi told him before that he could make desserts.After thinking about it for a few seconds, he readily accepted it, smiling beautifully, "Okay, then let's go together."

Originally a small team of two, it immediately expanded into a three-person team.

When he came to the door last time, Earl D just stood outside the door and didn't go in.In addition, there were more than a dozen cubs surrounding Shu Qingyi at that time, Earl D, who opened the pet shop, focused his attention on the cubs, and did not pay much attention to the situation in the courtyard.

If it wasn't for later finding out that these cubs were all Shu Qingyi's cubs, Earl D really wanted to send them to his pet shop.

Unfortunately, this idea can only be thought about, there is no way to implement it.

He is a serious pet shop, not a pet dealer who specializes in abducting and selling pets.

After bringing the two of them over, Shuqing also ran to the kitchen and poured three cups of milk tea he made himself, and took the snacks and desserts he made for the cubs before leaving in the morning and sent them over.

By the way, let Count D have a taste of his craft.

So I started to talk about things with Natsume: "Natsume, you said you want to tell me something about the store's promotion?"

"Yes," Natsume took out the materials he had found from his satchel and presented them to Shu Qingyi, "Look at this, Qingyi, the urban legend tells about the same type of shop as yours. But in terms of business There are some gaps, you are helping people solve problems, but this is sending people to hell."

Just looking at it like this, Natsume felt a little uncomfortable: "However, we can learn from it in terms of management."

"Huh? Let me see."

Shu Qing also took it and read it carefully, from beginning to end, with a bit of surprise in his tone: "Huh? 'Hell communication'? It looks quite interesting."

The more I read Shuqing, the more I feel a little bit familiar, and I always feel like I have seen this matter somewhere.

But when it was put out suddenly, Shuqing really couldn't remember it, so he could only analyze the familiarity in his heart: "It's interesting just looking at it this way. Using this story of urban legends to promote What they operate. Slowly let everyone know that there is such a service in this world without any effort.”

only……

Shuqing also pointed out several unrealistic things: "This thing happened too early, and there are some things that can't be verified. And depending on the situation, the 'Hell Communication' should not be a single person, it should be composed of many people .After the resentful person places the order, they will send people to investigate clearly. Of course, it is also possible to send people to investigate the situation before placing the order. I am afraid that we have no time here. You and Qi Mu is usually too busy, and the cubs are still young, so I don’t worry about them going out.”

Shuqing also sighed, and pushed the materials aside: "There are things in it that we can learn, but there are many things we can't learn. They have been in business for more than 400 years, and they have formed a system."

Natsume sighed after hearing this, and finally found someone who was in a similar situation to Shu Qingyi, but he couldn't learn too much experience.Fortunately, Shuqing also said a few more words to appease Natsume, so that Natsume did not continue to entangle in this matter.

Isn't it just looking for a case?

The world is so big, can't you find a successful example? !

For this reason, Natsume was once again full of confidence.

Earl D tasted Shu Qingyi's craftsmanship, his eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had found a place where he could serve desserts.Comfortably enjoying the dessert that Shu Qingyi brought up, when Shu Qingyi and Natsume were discussing things, they finished eating the dessert in front of them in a short while.

After eating, I took a sip of milk tea and felt very comfortable.

Considering Earl D's taste, Shuqing also put a lot of sugar in Earl D's cup, fearing that it would not be able to satisfy Earl D's sweet-loving character.

Obviously, Shu Qingyi's approach made Earl D very satisfied with this cup of milk tea.

"By the way, D," Shu Qing suddenly remembered that Earl D also opened a shop. Although the type was different, he was always standing in front of him, asking no questions, "If you open a shop, there is a pet shop. Has it been advertised?"

"Propaganda?" Earl D didn't think too much, and said directly, "There is no publicity."

Seeing that Shu Qingyi and Natsume didn't quite understand, Earl D took another sip of milk tea and then put his hands on his lap, with a faint smile on his face: "Why do we need to promote the store? If the income depends on the shop, I am afraid that I will starve to death. The shop is placed there, entertaining people when they come, and selling pets. If no one comes, they can drink tea and eat comfortably in the shop. It's nice to chat with the animals."

"So, Qing Yi, you don't live on the income from opening a store. Why do you care so much about the success of your business? When the opportunity comes, the business will come naturally. Even if you make a big deal of publicity, it's up to you if you don't come. won't come."

Earl D's words were very profound, which made Shu Qing also fall into deep thought.

It is true that he did not open the store to make money, the purpose was just to let the cubs grow up and become taller.

"It's true that I'm not here to make money, but my pups can only grow up if someone comes to me to solve the problem."

"How long has it been since the cubs grew up?"

"It's been more than 100 years."

"It's been over 100 years, why are you so anxious now?" Earl D raised his head and gestured to the cubs running wildly in the courtyard, "According to my observations of living with animals for many years, the cubs Although they really want to grow up, they don't really care about when they can grow up."

Earl D glanced at Shu Qingyi cryptically: "In particular, there are a few cubs who are still worried about whether they will be kicked out from here when they grow up. to be independent."

Shu Qing also opened his mouth slightly, and finally sighed deeply, agreeing with Earl D's point of view: "It's because my thoughts are too urgent and I fell into a strange circle. It’s so prosperous, but it’s not considered at this level.”

After Earl D's analysis, Shu Qing also let go of the big burden on his back: "I probably know what direction I will work hard and develop in the future."

It is certain that the store will open, but I don't care about business as much as before.

You see, there is not much publicity.It has already been passed on to another world, and I have also received this list from Il fans.

It's good to keep this status quo.

Earl D's words made Shu Qing enlightened, and he thought thoroughly.When Earl D went back, Shuqing packed all the desserts for Earl D without hesitation and let him take them back.

If it weren't for Earl D's words, Shu Qing might still be getting angry about the business issue, and a lot of blisters would definitely appear on his mouth by then.

After sending Earl D away, Natsume was going to find Mr. Cat back.When he walked to the door, he stopped suddenly, looked in the direction of Earl D, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Qing Yi, when did this neighbor move here?"

"About a week ago, what happened?"

Although it's not Natsume's style to speak ill of people behind their backs, but thinking about Mr. Cat's cautious expression before.Natsume still said this: "How much do you know about Earl? Before meeting you, Mr. Cat told me that Earl is not simple at all. He is even ten times stronger than him. several times."

Natsume frowned, and there was a bit of worry in his tone: "What the count said just now is indeed true, but I think it's better to find out the count. After all, they are neighbors, and the cat teacher saw Miss Yuko's I wasn’t so vigilant back then, when I saw the Earl, the hairs all over my body were about to explode.”

From these judgments, Natsume felt that Earl D was hard to say.

Shu Qing was also taken aback. At first he felt that the people who could move here overnight must not be ordinary people, so he didn't think about reaching out.Now hearing Natsume's serious statement about the stakes, it made Shuqing think a little bit in his heart.

However, in order not to make Natsume think too much, Shuqing also agreed with a smile: "I know, I can handle this matter. It's getting late, go and find Mr. Cat quickly. Some go back, I'm afraid Aunt Tazi will be worried."

After seeing Natsume leaving with the smelly cat teacher in his arms, Shuqing also stood at the door and looked towards Earl D for a long time.It wasn't until he heard Yuko speak that he came back to his senses.

"Qing Yi," Teacher Mao left, which did not prevent Yuko from drinking alone, "You stand here looking so seriously, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing." Shu Qing also shook his head, but he still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Yuzi, what kind of person do you think D is?"

"What kind of person? I don't know." Yuzi smiled and shook the wine bottle in his hand, "After all, he is a pet seller, what kind of person can he be? Qingyi, what are your thoughts today? A little bit too much. When I moved here, you didn’t ask me what kind of person I am. What? Now that a handsome guy with a prosperous and beautiful face has moved here, I just want to find out? Then I’m very sad .”

Yuzi's joke immediately made Shuqing laugh: "I just asked casually, I don't know where you are so unreasonable, Yuzi. By the way, what kind of wine do you like to drink? I will start preparing tomorrow I will make wine for you to drink, but I can't guarantee the time."

"Time is not a problem, as long as there is wine to drink, it's fine," Yuko poured a sip of sake into her mouth with a glass, "I'm the kind of person who doesn't drink without drinking, and now I'm more lonely alone, so naturally I want to drink sake." A lot of dependence on alcohol."

"Okay, I see," Shu Qing also nodded, turned around and was about to go back to get something, then turned around and asked hesitantly, "Well, Yuko, can you allow me to find out if you still have any leftovers in your wine collection? How many??"

For a person like this who is addicted to alcohol, if he runs out of alcohol, how can he say that time is not a problem? ! !

Shu Qing also deeply felt that if he had finished drinking all the Tibetan wine, he must be telling a deceptive lie!

"Oh, oh, I drank a little too much wine, and I feel a little bit sleepy." Yuko stretched out her hands and yawned, then turned around and walked into the courtyard lazily, "Oh, it's troublesome to make wine. That's right, I'll go back to sleep first."

"..."

well.

Shu Qing also ground his teeth, he already understood.

It must be a lie to say that there is not much wine left!

Earl D, who returned with big bags and small bags, put the dessert on the table.He opened the small cake that he had waited in line for a long time, put a spoonful of cream in his mouth, and frowned.

It was originally his favorite small cake, but now he feels that this taste is not as delicious as before.

Obviously looking forward to it very much, but after eating it, I feel that it is not as delicious as the snacks I ate at Shu Qingyi's place.

Earl D's face was swollen, like a bun.Pushing the small cake in front of Xiao Q: "Xiao Q gave it to you."

"Q?"

Xiao Q glanced at Earl D wonderingly, not quite understanding when Earl D was so generous that he was willing to give up his favorite little cake.

This is something that has never happened with Earl D.

Today is really strange.

Earl D tilted his head, and smiled provocatively at Xiao Q: "Well, I just think that the desserts next to me seem to be tastier."

Opening the packing box, Earl D took out a piece of light green slightly transparent pastry with his slender fingers, put it in his mouth and took a bite.The moment he ate it, Earl D closed his eyes happily and made a strange sound.

In this situation, Xiao Q quietly took a piece out of the box while Earl D was not paying attention, and took a bite.He also narrowed his small eyes in an instant, his body was half tilted, his small wings fluttered and flew upwards, and he kept screaming 'QQ' like Earl D.

"It's over, it seems to be conquered by this dessert. Do you want to ask next time you meet, don't open the shop that solves the trouble, and just open a dessert shop?"

If this is the case, then he will come here every day and wrap up all the prepared desserts! !
