It has been more than a month since Qiu Ye returned to the first floor to start working in the bookstore, that is, after the beginning of autumn, he turned 13 years old.Those who came to visit him during the recovery period were Oda Sakunosuke and Dazai Osamu.To be honest, there are only two friends he knows, and the other familiar faces are ordinary bookstore customers. When he finds out that Qiu Ye didn't visit the store, he would ask a question or two at most and would not make a special trip to visit.

It is worth mentioning that every time Osamu Dazai visited him, he came in through the window of his house, and every time it was when Grandpa Yasuo was looking at the store on the first floor during working hours.He obviously locked the window every time, but every time he opened the window with a "click", and then he came in.

"..." Qiuya, who was still recuperating in the room, was speechless watching Dazai's skillful movement into the window. He obviously entered the bookstore from the first floor and told Grandpa Yasuo that he should be able to come up. Why did he climb the bed? Interested?

Or is it that the fear of Yasuo's serious face has surpassed the project of climbing windows?

Qiu also said that he didn't understand, and poured a glass of water for Dazai who entered the room.

In fact, he also suggested to Dazai to let him enter the house to see him in a normal way. After all, his hand is still injured and fractured, and it is very dangerous to climb up to the second floor in this state.

But Dazai's reply was: "Xiao Qiuya, don't you think it's more exciting to see you like this, you can't let others find out, come in secretly, it's like having an affair—"

"I don't think so." Shuya looked at Dazai who was touching himself in his bedroom with a serious face.Not to mention that the two of them are 13 years old and 15 years old, they are not up to the standard of having an affair at all, and Grandpa Yasuo should know that he has a friend in the bookstore, but every time Grandpa Yasuo visits the store, Dazai does not come, he Never seen it with my own eyes.

"Grandpa Yasuo just looks fierce." So there is no need to avoid him every time to see me.

Qiu also tried to persuade the other party.

"Hey, hey~" Dazai responded casually, and then changed the subject: "You and me, Shuya, my new colleague Barabara..."

Here we go again, every time Dazai comes here, he will complain about his new colleague, sometimes he just complains, but sometimes he just changes the subject like now.By the way, that new colleague was the one who reportedly kicked Dazai during the interview more than a month ago and broke his hand, but now the two of them are partners.

"...so I nicknamed him Slug!"

"Yeah." Qiu also nodded.

"Ai Qiuya—are you listening carefully?" Dazai complained in a drawn out voice.

"Yes, you said that your partner is the same age as you, but shorter than you, and has a bad personality. You really want to change partners, and you call him a slug." Simplified all Dazai's previous complaints into one sentence, Qiu Ye lifted a small cover on the coffee table, revealing the plates and snacks inside: "Dibing, do you want to eat?"

That was done by Qiu Ye yesterday. Obviously, his sequelae of concussion had healed up more than a week ago, but Grandpa Yasuo still refused to let him go to work in the bookstore on the first floor, and let him stay in his room to recuperate until autumn.Qiu Ye, who had nothing to do and could only stay on the second floor, made hagi cakes when his head was not hurting and his mouth was hungry for dessert.

"No, stuffing that kind of thing into your mouth will make you speechless." Dazai refused.

"I think I made them quite small." Qiu Ye looked at the small rice cakes on the plate, picked up one of them and took a bite, "And I didn't ask you to stuff it all at once, come on. Give it a try."

As he spoke, he picked up the smallest rice cake with his other hand and handed it over.

Dazai looked at the rice cake in Shuya's hand for a while, and then looked up at Qiuya who was gnawing on a snack, and suddenly he didn't want to take it.He grabbed Qiu Ye's wrist and pulled it towards him, then just this Qiu Ye's hand directly bit off the grass cake in his hand and ate it.

"??" Qiu Ye, who was still eating dessert, stopped in shock and looked at him.

Didn't you just say not to eat the whole thing?This was the thought of Qiuya, who didn't realize that his focus was wrong at all.

He just stared in shock at how Dazai kept chewing after eating the whole hagimochi, and then didn't speak.

As for Dazai, although he said that the rice cake was quite small, he still overestimated the viscosity of the glutinous rice flour inside. In order to prevent the embarrassment of spraying out as soon as he opened his mouth, he didn't open his mouth to speak.

The time lasted for more than a minute, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

It was more than a minute after someone spoke again in the room, and Dazai, who swallowed the rice cake, complained: "Sure enough, I still don't like this thing."

"Then don't do it next time? And obviously you want to eat the whole thing, I told you." The atmosphere in the room returned to normal, Qiu also lowered his head and continued to eat the unfinished pastry in his hand.

"Then what do you do next time? I like crab and miso."

"Crabs can't afford it." Seafood is still too expensive for their family: "Miso can be considered, but those are for dinner, and you usually can't eat them when you come here in the afternoon."

"Well, does Qiu also want to cook for me after staying in my house? Sure enough, Qiu is developing more and more in the direction of sex."

"..."

No, how did you come to the conclusion that you will live in Dazai's house? ?

And what is it? ?

…………

After the beginning of autumn, Qiu can also return to work in the bookstore on the first floor. According to Grandpa Yasuo's explanation, the "sheep" that only has minors has been merged into other mafia organizations, and probably won't have time to manage the port in the future. The area of ​​the Mafia is considered safe for the time being.

However, after that, most of the time during the day, I used to watch the store alone, but now it is mostly Grandpa Yasuo who looks after the store with him.As a result, Dazai's visits to the store have decreased a lot.

Although he was not sure whether it was because Dazai was busy, or because Grandpa Yasuo started to accompany him to watch the shop. Dazai didn't come.

On the other hand, the mafia who looks a little less like a mafia in Qiuya's eyes now - Oda Sakunosuke has come to the bookstore more often, since the members of the 'sheep' came to rob the store.

The young man would sometimes buy a book or two in the bookstore, and sometimes he would only rent it out, but what was certain was that he spent all his daytime here except for his daily work.

With the arrival of autumn, the sycamore tree outside the old bookstore in Yingting has lost all its leaves, and the bare branches can no longer resist the sunshine. Fortunately, the sunshine in autumn is not as harsh as in summer, and it is almost Near dusk.

The setting sun shines through the doors and windows of the bookstore and into the bookshelves inside, making every book on it glow with golden light.

At this time, the bell tower of a certain school in the distance rang because of the hour.

"Boom—boom..."

Suddenly, a sentence from a novel he read a while ago appeared in Qiuya's mind.

"The sound of echoing piles is driven into the autumn river."

Although it is not clear whether this sentence can be compared to everything he feels now, it is indeed the words of the gentleman he thought of.

"Is Shuya-kun watching Natsume-san's works?"

The sudden voice brought Shuya back to his senses from the middle of the scene. It was Oda Sakunosuke who came to choose the book.

"Yes, since you picked that "Heart" last time, I plan to read that gentleman's work as well." Qiu Ye replied with a smile.

Oda scratched his chin and said embarrassedly: "You don't need to say honorifics to me." Then he turned the topic to the author: "How about it, do you like those works?"

"I like it!" Qiu Ye nodded, "That gentleman must be a great person."

"That's great, I hope I can become such a person in the future." Oda Sakunosuke said with emotion.

"Huh? Is Mr. Oda's wish to become a writer in the future?" Qiu Ye asked curiously.

"Well, it's an ideal. I want to create my own novels in a house near the sea in the future." Oda said, watching Qiuya's eyes gradually soften.

"It's a great ideal." Feeling the seriousness of the young man in front of him, Qiu also said to the other party with a serious look: "The wish will definitely come true, and then I can open a family near your house when I grow up. A flower shop, living with Grandpa Yasuo."

"Hey, open a flower shop, Qiu Ye-kun's wish is very great." The man smiled and rubbed Qiu Ye's head: "At that time, I will buy your flowers."

"It will be given to you directly at that time, but you have to lend me your novel to read."

"Of course, but..." Oda Sakunosuke thought of something, bent down with a smile and looked at the boy at the same level: "Now you should have a closer ideal that can be realized. How do you feel about going to school?"

"go to school……?"

"Yes, go to school." The man nodded affirmatively, looked at the somewhat dazed young man and said, "It seems that because the law and order here has improved a bit in a year or two, I recently saw that a middle school is about to be built nearby. It is a public school. School."

"But, but I haven't been to school before. And the bookstore has to be watched by people..." Hearing the word 'go to school', Qiuya couldn't help but yearn for it in his heart, but the same, as being picked up by Grandpa Yasuo He didn't want to add more trouble to the kind-hearted grandpa.

"I believe in Shuya-kun, after all, I just said Mr. Natsume's haiku." The man said to Qiuya, and then looked up at the people who came behind: "And the boss of Sakuraba should also think it is good, this proposal. "

"Ah, where is that school?"

"It's just two streets away from Jiushu Lane. I passed by when I was on patrol a few days ago. It said that students are being recruited. I remember... There are a few cherry blossom trees at the school gate. It should be full when the school starts. Cherry blossoms on a campus."

"Thank you for your suggestion. I will take him to school to understand in two days." Sakuraba Yasuo looked at Oda Sakunosuke for a while, then bowed slightly.

As for Qiu Ye, when the two of them were talking about this proposal, they couldn't hold back the redness of their eyes, and the tears flowed down unconsciously.Going to school has always been a luxury for him.When he came to Yingting's house three years ago, he only wanted to thank Grandpa Yasuo, and then work for him to repay him.

It is very lucky that he did not die in a corner of the slum, was picked up by Grandpa Yasuo, and was allowed to settle down here, able to read and write.And now, they told him, he could go to a place that he had never imagined before, a new campus, and study in it.

Now Qiu also feels that he has a little understanding of what it feels like when Dazai is about to commit suicide. At this moment, he really has the feeling of being so happy that he wants to die directly.

"Thank you..." Sniffing, raising the back of his hand to wipe away the tears all over his face, Qiu Ye thanked these two people with sobs.

"Don't cry," Mr. Oda's big hand rubbed his head fiercely: "You have to persevere in the future, Zhun Guoyi freshman."

The author has something to say: The sound of echoing piles is driven into the autumn river.Mr. Natsume's haiku recorded in "Travel".

In the original book, including the people from the Armed Detective Agency, there are very few people who have gone to school.
