Awataguchi Tachi Sword Life Guide

"Ah, good morning, Awataguchi-kun came early today too," the store manager greeted gently.

She is a demure and intellectual lady who runs a popular bookstore according to her own ideas.As a person who has realized his dream, such a life is really enviable.

In the first phase, I found the apron of the bookstore familiarly, which can be regarded as the clerk's attire. While wearing a tie, I also smiled gently and said hello: "Good morning, manager. Today is my shift, and I should arrive early."

The store manager said: "I've seen it everywhere, Awataguchi-kun has always been very hardworking... huh?"

Only then did she notice the little tail behind Yiqi which was not so obvious because it was half blocked.

Maeda and Heino stood upright behind the first phase, looking up nervously at the store manager, feeling uneasy.

The store manager put down the book in his hand, bent down and smiled at the two children, beckoned cordially, and said good morning, then straightened up and looked at the first issue, "Awataguchi-kun, are these two children...?"

Phase [-] coughed softly, "It's a child of a relative's family, Maeda and Hirano—their adults are away for the past two days, so please ask me to take care of it for the time being."

Today was his part-time job at the bookstore, so Maeda and Heino couldn't be allowed to stay at home by themselves.

At least for a while.

——the dependence of the two children on him that he felt.

Speaking of which, he was worried about the clothes of Maeda and Heino in the morning, but he didn't expect that besides the uniform, they also brought another set of casual clothes.The first period just looked cold, so I found a coat and gave it to them.

Here, the store manager didn't need to explain more in the first issue, he understood it, and said with a smile: "I see. Let the children play in the bookstore."

In the first issue, I was a little embarrassed, "It's really troublesome for you, store manager."

The store manager said: "It's okay, it's okay. Originally, my bookstore is a place for children who like to read to have fun, as long as the books in the store are not damaged."

Widely loved and often used as a protective sword, the Toshiro dagger is naturally impossible to intentionally damage books.

Hirano said: "Yes! Absolutely not, thank you so much!"

Maeda said: "Yes, please let us help if necessary!"

The store manager was so cute that he couldn't help showing a kind smile, "Oh, oh, you two children are really..."

Maeda said crisply: "If it can come in handy, it would be great."

In the first issue, it was no surprise to see that the two children won the favor of the store manager in an instant.

To be honest, most people wouldn't hate a cute, caring, angelic child, right?

A sense of pride welled up.

...Ah, without realizing it, I took over the identity of my elder brother.

Phase one sighed in my heart.

However, he had already decided to wait and see what happened, so he didn't pay much attention to such a rapidly changing mood, and just followed the store manager forward.

"If you want to help me," the store manager nodded his chin with one hand, thinking, "The most important thing today is the batch of comics. They just arrived. We are taking advantage of the early hours and not many customers, so let's take advantage of it. Let's put out those cartoons."

"No problem," Yiqi nodded, and at the same time began to roll up the sleeves of both hands, "Where do you want to put it?"

"There," the store manager raised his finger.

What she pointed to was the most conspicuous display stand that could be seen as soon as she entered the bookstore.

Because this position can be seen at a glance after entering the store, and has the highest flow of people, so this position usually only displays the best-selling books and books strongly recommended by the store manager.

The first issue asked curiously: "Which teacher's cartoon is it that you give such importance to?"

The store manager smiled mysteriously.

"Awataguchi-kun will understand when you see it later."

She led everyone to the warehouse where the books were piled up. Her footsteps showed the situation, and when she lifted the dust cover, she still made a childlike voice of "dendenden~".

"Look!"

Phase [-]'s eyes widened for a moment.

An absolutely familiar style of painting, and the name of an absolutely familiar manga artist appeared in front of his eyes.

Embarrassment flashed across his natural face.

"No, Yumeno... Yumeno-sensei?"

"Yes!" The store manager said in a high tone, "It's a new work by Ms. Yumeno Sakiko!"

She cherishedly took out the manga with the cover from her messenger bag, and stroked the pages with sparkling eyes, "This is the first booklet of Mr. Mengye's new work. I finally got the first batch from my friend." Of course, the printed matter should be placed in the best position."

The first issue said: "Ya, it turns out that Mr. Mengye's booklet has already been published."

The store manager smiled ignorantly: "Ah, Mr. Awataguchi knows about Yumeno-sensei, have you seen Yumeno-sensei's works?"

"Yes……"

Not just knowing, but knowing.Yumeno Sakiko, isn't that the pen name of Nozaki-kun!

Sakiko Yumeno, who is regarded as a delicate woman who can understand girls' minds, is actually a tall male college student.This matter was not said at the time.

It was only the first time that he had such close contact with Nozaki-kun's works, and faced the store manager, he was inevitably deeply shocked.

"...I heard the discussion of my classmates. Is she a very good girl manga artist?"

Shopkeeper: "That's right!"

Holding the manga in her arms, with a smile like a spring breeze, she gently sent Amway to her favorite teacher.

"Awataguchi-kun can read it when you have time. Although it is a girl manga, but such an excellent work, even boys can be touched by it."

"Ah, otherwise," she eagerly reached out her hand to the stack of volumes that had not been sorted out, "I'll give you a new volume."

"How can this be done," the first issue immediately refused righteously, "I can't let you spend money, I will go to appreciate the works of Mr. Mengye by myself in a few days."

——If he took Nozaki-kun’s manga like this, he would feel even more ashamed.

"It's getting late, let's quickly release Mr. Mengye's work, store manager."

"Ah, yes!"

As soon as the store manager clapped his hands, his attention was instantly diverted, and he began to separate the stacks of booklets from the pile of books.

"Come on, let's get busy."

In the first issue, he picked up the book and sent it out, and Maeda and Heino also took the initiative to extend their hands to the store manager.

The store manager looked at the weak wrists of the two children, and reduced the delivery of one serving by more than half.Even so, when she put the book in their hands, she still couldn't help worrying.

"How about it, can you still hold it?" She asked, "If you can't hold it, don't force it."

Hirano held a stack of books steadily, Sunshine smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister store manager, we will send Teacher Mengye's books there."

"Yeah!" Maeda held up his book, very energetic, "Don't look at us like this, we have great strength~"

After speaking, they walked out briskly.

With the joint efforts of four people, a pile of books was successfully placed on the conspicuous booth that can be seen as soon as entering the store before the number of customers increased.

The store manager personally completed the final styling adjustments, and then clapped his hands with satisfaction, "This is perfect!"

With a smile on her face, she took out two handfuls of candy from her apron pocket and put them in the hands of Maeda and Hirano.

"It's because Maeda-kun and Heino-kun joined so quickly, it's a great help."

Holding colorful candies, the two children showed big smiles at the store manager, and said crisply, "It's good to be able to help, thank you for the candies!"

The store manager looked happier.

The direct expression is that she stuffed Maeda and Hirano with snacks again, and this time she even got some for the first issue.

In the first issue, he smiled and accepted the snacks that he borrowed.

The time is estimated, and it is almost time for the number of customers in the bookstore to gradually increase.

Although the two children still want to help, it is naturally impossible to agree in the first phase.

Moving the books is just helping out in the spirit of helping others, and then let the two children work in the bookstore. Did he bring them here to help him on purpose?

After simply telling the two children about the divisions in the bookstore, they rushed to the literature area that they were in charge of.

He believes that there is no need to ask too much, Maeda and Heino, these two well-behaved and sensible children, will not cause any trouble in the bookstore.

On the way to the literary district, I passed the booth full of "Sakiko Yumeno" booklets in the first phase, and saw the store manager still standing there.

Based on the love for "Sakiko Yumeno" shown by the store manager, it should be that he wants to be in charge of this part...

After the first phase greeted the store manager, he continued to move forward.

"Awataguchi-kun!"

——As a result, he was stopped by the store manager after he walked a few steps.

Phase [-] turned around in doubt, "The store manager?"

The store manager waved his hands with a smile, and motioned: "Please come here, Awataguchi-kun."

Phase [-]: "Ah, okay."

After he walked over, the store manager took a step back instead, and leaned his upper body back a little, placing his hands in front of his eyes like a viewfinder, and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the first issue.

Phase [-]: ?

Before he could express his doubts, the store manager asked him to change his position.

After several adjustments, the store manager finally showed a satisfied smile and put down his hands, "Not bad, not bad, it works best from this angle."

Phase [-]: "...effect?"

Store manager: "That's right, the effect, and it's like a girl's manga."

She patted the pamphlet on the booth, her smile became softer, as if she had put on a hazy filter.
