Group Pet Career in Yokohama

Hill looked at Mr. Natsume curiously. Although his face was gentlemanly and his tone was kind and kind, his demeanor continued to show his calm and prestige.

This is a highly respected person. The life he has experienced in the past must have been turbulent and turbulent to precipitate such an aura, but now that he has reached the stage of turmoil, unexpectedly he is an old man who likes to worry.

And his eyes... so familiar, where have you seen them?

——Ah, it's the three-colored cat from before... By the way, this gentleman's hair also coincidentally resembles the color of the three-colored cat.

"It's Akashi-kun, are you here to buy books?" He asked kindly.

"Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here." Akashi greeted Mr. Natsume respectfully: "It's been a long time since I saw you. How is your health recently?"

"Haha thanks to your concern, my body is very strong." He said with a smile.

"The matter my father talked to you a few days ago has come to a conclusion. I wonder when you will come to our house to talk about it?"

"I'll go in two days, and I will trouble your father to entertain you then."

"You're being polite, my father and I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

"Just now I seem to hear that Akashi-kun and this little friend are a little troubled, why don't you tell me and see if I can help you?" After greeting the only son of an acquaintance, Mr. Natsume asked gently about the previous things.

Akashi pondered for a while, and explained the reason to him: "This is Hill, and he wants to buy a book and give it to a friend, but we are also very troubled whether we can meet the conditions set by Mr. Honda to take the book out."

"Oh?" Mr. Natsume looked down at Hill when he heard the words, and asked kindly: "Mind if I read the book? I know Honda-kun well, so I can call him for you."

"..."

Hill's hand holding the book trembled slightly. At this moment, he felt that the book in his hand was extremely hot. Can normal people understand Osamu Dazai's heartfelt love for suicide like "hot-blooded teenagers like to play basketball"?

In fact, Akashi was also very surprised when he saw it just now, but he didn't ask her out of politeness and consideration, so she can pretend that nothing happened... But under normal circumstances, anyone who sees what this book is about will be very surprised. I would think that I want to instigate my friend to commit suicide! But I am really a good boy who cares about my friend's hobbies!

Giving a suicide book to a friend on his birthday is indeed suspected of malicious intentions, but that guy Dazai Osamu cannot be generalized with common sense.

This book is a "gift" that Hill has confirmed and affirmed - Osamu Dazai will definitely accept it with a smile when he receives it.

At least with this seemingly reliable guide, Osamu Dazai's unreliable suicide plan can be dispelled.Because the consequences of many suicide methods in the book are very painful, and Osamu Dazai hates pain very much.

Does it matter if it is "common sense" to have a friend's happiness when they receive a gift?

No.

At least Hill and the people around her don't pay much attention to common sense.

What to do, what to do... what to do... Hill's heart was constantly swiping the screen.

Even though his heart was constantly struggling, Hill still stiffly exposed the cover in his hand. Maybe this extraordinary Mr. Natsume is also the kind of person who doesn't care about common sense...

"Ah, it's this book, I'll help you tell Honda-kun." As if he didn't see the name of the book, Mr. Natsume asked considerately: "Is there any other book you want to take away? You can watch it yourself or give it to a friend.”

While Hill breathed a sigh of relief, he seemed to suddenly think of something, excitedly opened his eyes wide, and asked expectantly: "I have a friend who once read a book with three volumes. The name has long been blurred..."

She paused and continued: "And that book is really important to him, but it was accidentally lost during the moving process. Unfortunately, he went to various bookstores and couldn't find it. It's very important until now. Pity……"

If you can find it by mistake... After all, it is a novel similar to an orphan, and it seems that it has never been published.

Then Hill told Mr. Natsume about the general content of the books that Oda Saku and she had talked about.

"It's that book, I know it." Mr. Natsume squeezed his exquisite mustache, "It happens to be the book owned by this bookstore."

"Really? That's really great!" Hill was very pleasantly surprised, so Odasaku's regret can be made up for.

...If he sees the book he has been thinking about for a long time, he will be very happy, right?

"In this way, I can leave with peace of mind." Akashi showed a gentle smile.

"Are you leaving?" Hill said regretfully.

"Thank you for your help today, Akashi-san."

"It's not helpful." Akashi said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Hill and Mr. Natsume, but it's getting late now. Since I have found the book I want to read, I will go back first."

Akashi bowed slightly to Mr. Natsume, nodded at Hill with a smile, and left.

"Let me see... I remember it's on this bookshelf." Mr. Natsume quickly pulled out three books from the bookshelf.

Those were three books with very inconspicuous covers, with overly elegant patterns printed on the light blue covers.

The name of this book is——

Hill carefully took over the three books, after all, they are books with special significance that have influenced Oda Saku's life.

She looked at the author's signature on the cover - Natsume Soseki.

……what?

Hill raised his head in doubt, looked carefully at Mr. Natsume standing in front of her, and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Natsume, may I take the liberty to ask your full name?"

"Haha, my name is Natsume Soseki."

"You are the author of this book?!" Hill held the book to his chest, and looked at the mysterious author in surprise, "My friend likes this book by you very much. It has had a great impact, and it can be said that it changed his life. That kind of belief made his eyes shine."

Even if he has never seen Oda Saku in his youth, Hill can imagine that after the seed of belief in "wanting to write a novel" is planted, the "fire of life" bursts out in the dark and numb eyes of the young killer.

"It's a great honor that this early work can be valuable to your friend. But only your own heart can make the decision, not the lack of words in this book, so the changes made by your friend are only out of the ordinary. It's just because he wants to change his heart." Mr. Natsume said lightly.

"You are too modest, even if it is like fireworks exploding in the splendor of the night, it needs a fuse to ignite, and this small fuse is just indispensable." Hill smiled, "But I will pass on your teachings Tell my friend the truth, and he will be very happy."

"It's not about teaching." Mr. Natsume looked at Hill gently, "But you are a thoughtful child who cherishes friends."

Hearing this, Hill showed a shy smile.

Mr. Natsume lowered his eyes, so he can feel relieved...

"Don't you want to bring the book to your friend? I'll call Honda-kun." He said kindly.

The phone call was short, and Mr. Natsume hung up after a while.

"Okay, little friend Hill." Mr. Natsume smiled gently, "The book can be taken out."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Natsume."

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing."

"Will I see you again in the future?" Hill was a little embarrassed.

Although it was a bit abrupt to say this to someone she met for the first time, but——this Mr. Natsume really made her very curious.And he looks so knowledgeable, and his experience must be very rich. If he can get in touch with more, he will definitely learn a lot of interesting things...

"Yes, this bookstore often adds a lot of new books, I will come here to visit from time to time, if Hill also likes to come here to read books, it is easy to meet again."

Only Akashi, who often comes to this bookstore, knows that he has come so many times, but he has never met Mr. Natsume.
