Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

Early summer has begun to bring heat to the city of Yokohama, but the tall sycamore trees outside the bookstore will block most of the sunlight, and only a little sunlight can be revealed through the gaps in the leaves.The black-haired boy in black walked through the spots of sunlight under the sycamore tree, walked into the old bookstore in Yingting, walked straight to the counter on the right side of the door, and said with a blank expression: "Hello, I'm here to pick up the book and register. People are called Mori Ogai."

After Qiu Ye heard someone talking, Qiu Ye quickly closed the "Encyclopedia of Plants" in his hand, raised his head and smiled at the other party: "Please wait a moment, I will look for the record of ordering the book." In fact, he was a little nervous, Grandpa Yasuo Sakuraba He went out to buy rice, and now he is the only one in the store. This is the first time he has received customers who came to collect books alone.But when he saw that the person in front of him looked only two or three years older than him, and was well dressed, he was relieved again.

Taking the registration booklet on the right hand side, Qiuya looked for the name of the registrant from the last page: "Mori" record.There was nothing on the first page. When Qiu Ye slightly raised his head to turn the page, he found that the boy in front of the counter was still standing there, looking straight at him.The kite-colored eyes are pretty, but the unemotional gaze makes Qiu Ye feel that it is still a bit penetrating.

"Um... I may be a little slow to find it, you can browse around the bookstore, I will call you when I finish it." Qiu Ye said to the other party.Seeing the other party turn around and walk towards the bookshelf, Qiu also looked down for the registration information again.

Finally, in the registration two months ago, I found the record that the registrant wrote: "Mr. Sen".Carefully pack the books with the corresponding numbers to ensure that the guests will not bump into them on the way back with the books and put them in the bag.

After thinking about it, he took a crape myrtle flower from the glass next to the pen holder and put it on top of the packaged book.Looking at the young man reading books in front of the bookshelf in the distance, Qiu also thought about how to call him by name, and then said: "The books are already packed—brother—"

The boy put back the book he was reading and walked towards the counter where Qiu Ye was.

Qiu Ye asked, "Excuse me, is the person here to pick up the books?"

"No." At this time, the boy's tone was smiling, but what he said was malicious: "I guess he was afraid that if he came to get it, he would become a sieve, so he called me over."

"Sieve...? I think I'm pretty safe here." Qiu didn't know why, but still handed over the registration book: "Then please sign your own name on the recipient's place."

After taking the signed book and the banknotes handed over by the young man, Qiuya looked at the name on it, and handed the book and the crape myrtle flower to the other party: "Then this is the book for this time, Dazai-kun. The words of the flower are As a gift for you being my first guest, I hope it brings you good luck."

"Don't say such misleading words - I'm still not interested in children." The boy's voice was a little lazy and helpless, and then he took out a ball of paper from his black pocket and gave it to Qiu Ye : "The book that Mr. Mori will order next time." Seeing Qiu Ye holding the ball of paper flattered, the boy turned around and planned to leave.

"By the way, my name is Qiuya, Sakuraba Qiuya—thank you for your patronage and welcome to come next time!" Although I didn't understand where my words were misunderstood, but seeing that the other party was about to leave, Qiuya said that it had already begun. Dazai who was walking outside shouted.

It was the first time that Qiuya completed a guest reception alone. He was in a very good mood. He opened the paper ball given by Dazai and carefully registered the title of the book that Mr. Mori would buy next time, and then he did not continue to read the "Encyclopedia of Plants" .

He looked at the glass next to him, and there was only one of the original two crape myrtle flowers left. Although it was raised with supernatural powers, its remaining lifespan was not long.Qiu didn't dare to insert it directly into the soil to use its supernatural power, because he was afraid that the crape myrtle flower would turn into a tree directly, so every time he picked flowers from the tree, he only dared to raise them with water, after all, the crape myrtle in the water There are not as many nutrients as there are in the soil, and the flower will not become a tree.

Qiu also thought about whether there was a way to preserve this crape myrtle flower forever, then jumped off the high stool at the counter, went to the bookshelf and took out a manual tutorial of dried flower bookmarks...

After Yasuo Sakuraba came back in the afternoon, Qiu also told him that he could finish his work alone in the bookstore.Recently, perhaps because the Old Book Lane has regained its calm, the number of book-ordering customers has gradually increased. Yasuo Sakuraba had to go to different publishers outside to buy the books ordered by the customers.

Usually, when he was working alone in the bookstore, he would close the bookstore one or two days a week and visit all the publishers' branches that ordered books.Now that Qiu can stay alone in the bookstore, he can run a few more times a week without being so tired.

Two weeks later, Shuya waited for Dazai Osamu who came to pick up the book again.This day, the counter of the bookstore was decorated with frangipani flowers, and when Dazai came over at noon, its fragrance had already spread throughout the bookstore.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Dazai-kun." Seeing the person who came in, Shuya smiled.It is rare to see a peer of the same age who can chat in the bookstore again, and Qiu is also very happy.You must know that he has only met two people around his age here, one is Dazai, and the other is a vagrant who came to snatch their rice balls.

Dazai went to the counter, looked at the fragrant frangipani there, and said to Shuya, "I'll get Mr. Mori's book,... Sakuraniwa-kun."

"My name is Qiuya." It can be seen that Dazai has forgotten his name at a glance, Qiuya reminded: "You can go to read other books, and I will tell you when I pack Mr. Mori's book .”

Watching Dazai walking towards the bookshelf, Shuya skillfully confirmed the serial number of the order books and packed them up before going to call Dazai.Then he found that Dazai was standing in the same position as last time, reading the same book as last time.

Do you like that book so much...?Or does he remember where he saw it last time and watch it again this time...?

Seeing Dazai put the book back on the shelf and walking over, Shuya tilted his head and thought.

Dazai, who was more proficient than last time, completed the signing and charging service with Dazai. When he handed the book to Dazai, he suddenly said, "This flower, can I take one back?"

"Oh?" Qiuya looked at the sunflower he was pointing at, remembering that he was the first guest to send flowers when Dazai came last time, and said, "It's fine, but this flower is given to your queen. It will wither in the evening, unlike last time it can be kept for a few days."

"Is that so -- will it wither at night if I take it back?" Dazai added the accent on the word 'I', and then moved away from the subject without a trace: "I think it's very fragrant and I really want it."

"That's it..." Qiu, who didn't understand the point at all, thought about the solution and said, "Then how about I make it into a dried flower and give it to you when you come next time? If you make it into a dried flower It will last a long time."

"Forget it then, if it is made into a dried flower, it will no longer be alive." Dazai raised his hand to touch the sun flower in the glass, turned around and planned to leave.

"Okay then, although I didn't send flowers this time, please come again next time." Qiu Ye waved her hand to give it away.

"It's still so misleading—" Dazai waved his back to Shuya, and left the bookstore.

"?" How could he be misunderstood.

After the bookstore closed that night, Qiuya went to the shelf where Dazai held the book and took out the book he read in memory for maintenance, and wanted to know what this little friend was interested in by the way.Then he found out that the book was called Totally Sex.

Is there such a book?

With such doubts in mind, Qiu Ye checked the condition of the book first, and opened it after removing the oil and wrinkles.

... There are a lot of pictures of human organs in it, it must be a medical book.

After finding that he couldn't read it, Qiu also put the book back to its original place after maintenance.

…………

After seeing that the waiting time for the third and fourth visits to the bookstore was only to read that book, Qiu couldn't hold back and said, "Dazai-kun, in fact, if you want, you can read the book in your spare time." After thinking about it, it seems that what I said is not quite right.

"That's right, because I saw you reading the same book several times, so I wanted to say, that... you can read the book anytime! Hmm!" Finally, she nodded for self-affirmation.

"Oh——" Dazai asked in a long voice after taking the book, his tone revealing a lazy atmosphere: "Can I read it without ordering it?" Dazai's only one kite-colored eye rolled away. Turn around, as if thinking or thinking about something.

"Of course!" Qiuya replied, then pointed to a stool in the corner and said, "You can use that stool, I usually use it to hold the books on the high shelf. Of course, every time there is a good I wiped the stool.” Because it was the first time he tried to invite his little friend, Qiu also thought about the specific expression:

"That is, if you want to read books when you are not busy, you can read books anytime." He lowered his head and rubbed the fabric of his sleeves nervously: "If you come over, I will be very happy..." The last sentence The voice became smaller and smaller.

"I wanted to agree, but your words are too misleading—" Dazai replied with some disgust in his tone.

"I'm sorry, then..."

"But if you don't want to go to work, it seems that you can come here to skip work. Then come when you skip work."

The author has something to say: Dazai: get off work
