Cthulhu Grocery Store

What does that store sell?It seems that I haven't asked...

When Jindai Wugu came back at night, he was still thinking that the clerk who brought the tea seemed to have suddenly passed out. The beauty store manager wanted to send him to the hospital, so he let him go back first, and he can come back tomorrow until he finds the answer.

There was no mention of a fee.

Ask again tomorrow.

the next day.

Kamidai Wugu once again went to Miss Yuko's shop.

"Excuse me~"

This time, it was a younger brother who had never seen the door who opened the door. They glanced at each other, and both of them froze for a moment.

Similar outfits, white shirts and jeans, both have black hair and black eyes, and both wear glasses.

"Welcome." April [-]st reacted and said quickly.

"Hi, I'm Kamdai Wuko who came to consult last night. Miss Yuko asked me to continue coming." Shendai Wugu also quickly realized that this was the little brother who fainted yesterday, and asked, "Your health is fine now. Yet?"

"Ah, so it's Miss Yuko..." April [-]st stopped suddenly, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly remembered something, and fine cold sweat protruded from his temple hair.

Only one person, ah no, a god, was in the store last night.

The delayed fear reacted, as if an invisible big black hand was holding his heart, and the terrifying ravings he heard last night still lingered in his ears.

"That..." Shendai Wugu looked worriedly at the younger brother who suddenly turned pale, "Are you okay? You look bad."

Is your body still not in good shape?Suddenly passed out yesterday, scaring God Dai Wugu.

"April [-]st, you drank too much wine last night." Yuko Ichihara came out and patted April [-]st after changing her clothes again, "It's rude to let guests wait here , let's go in first."

Shendai Wugu scratched his cheek: "If it's inconvenient, I'd better go first."

"It's okay, he's just a little hangover, just drink some tea." Yuko Ichihara smiled back, and whispered to Jun Xun: "It's okay, it's normal now, it doesn't matter if you look at it."

April [-] nodded with a pale face, not bothering to complain about Miss Yuko, and recovered her breath: "I'll go and pour tea for the guests."

When he brought the saucer, there was another person in the living room, and he looked very familiar.

"Hey, it's Ms. Yasuda?"

The woman sitting quietly opposite Yuko turned her head and saw that it was Jun Xun, showing a gentle smile: "April [-]st, long time no see."

"What are you here for?"

"I have already fulfilled my wish, so I'm here to fulfill my wish." Ms. Yasuda stood up and bowed to Jun Xun and Ichihara Yuko, "I really appreciate the help of the two of you, I am very grateful."

"No, you have already paid the price, this is the happiness you fought for yourself." Yuko Ichihara said lightly.

"Thank you very much anyway. That's what I'm talking about..."

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged pleasantries, and because there was still work to do, Yasuda soon resigned

"Ah, okay." On April [-]st, Ichihara Yuko's eyes signaled the woman to the door, and when he came back, he found that God Dai Wugu was staring at him.

Although Ms. Yuko has already said that there is no problem, when facing this 'god', April [-]st is still a little uncomfortable: "That...what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Shendai Wugu shook his head, thinking of the satisfied smile on the woman's face just now, his heart suddenly felt a little more touched.

After hesitating for a while, Shendai Wugu asked the guess in his heart: "So this is really a wish-fulfilling shop?"

Ichihara Yuko: "That's right, so have you thought about your wish?"

Seeing the hesitant expression on Kamiro Kiriko's face, Ichihara Yuko added: "It doesn't matter if you look for it slowly, you are welcome to take a look here anytime."

"Okay, then please teach me more."

God Dai Wugu did not refuse Yuko's invitation, he suddenly had a premonition that maybe he could find what he wanted to do here.

Since then, Kamdai Kiriko would come to the store to stay when he had nothing to do, so he saw Miss Yuko's appearance at work as a matter of course.

To tell the truth, he found it very miraculous.

Miss Yuko always spoke in a mysterious tone, that's why Kamidai Wugu thought it was a bit suspicious at first.

But later he discovered that although Miss Yuko is a mystic, she is actually fulfilling the wishes of the customers who come to her door, and suddenly she has a strong interest in the job of store manager.

……

"You want to open a shop?" April [-]st asked in surprise.

"Well, is it really strange?"

"nor."

Perhaps because of Wu Gu's frequent visits these days, he and April Yi have gradually been able to talk. April Yi was originally a little afraid of the gods on behalf of Wu Gu, but after that time, he never showed anything special. In other places, the reception of people and things are no different from ordinary people.

Strange to say, April [-]'s memory of that day also slowly faded away, and he gradually accepted the existence of Wugu in the age of God.

"Well... how should I put it, it's a longing." Komiko scratched his head embarrassingly, "Although Ms. Yuko is very mysterious, she has indeed fulfilled the wishes of many people. I think this is very remarkable."

Jun Xun was stunned for a moment, then showed a soft smile: "I understand."

That's why he is willing to stay and work in the store.

"So your wish is also to be the store manager who fulfills people's wishes?" Ichizono Yuko slowly walked over from behind the door, seeming to have heard the conversation between the two.

"Yes, so can you help me realize my wish?" Kamidai Kiriko looked expectantly at Ichihara Yuko.

Coach, I want to learn this too!

Ichihara Yuko put on a confident expression: "Of course not! It can't be done!"

On April [-]st, he collapsed in an instant: "If it doesn't work, why are you still so confident?"

"I can't fulfill your wish. But if it's you, I can definitely fulfill your wish." Yuko Ichihara showed a mysterious smile, "Definitely."

She couldn't fulfill this wish because she was not qualified to charge God Dai Wugu a price, but if he said it himself, those mysterious beings would surely fulfill this wish spontaneously.

"Thank you, but I know I'm weak, and I can't be like Ms. Yuko for the time being." Shindai Wuko scratched his hair, a little shy, "I'm not very skilled in connecting people and things, so I definitely can't."

"Then why don't you try to open a store first." Ichizono Yuko said pointedly, "Isn't it a dream that was finally determined, you have to try everything before you know if it will work or not."

Shendai Wugu was a little moved: "This seems to be good."

On April [-]st, he let out a long "hey~": "Then what kind of store do you want to open? A bookstore?"

Shendai Wugu was a little embarrassed: "No, I'm not very interested in books..."

"The restaurant?"

"I do not know how to cook……"

"Sells electronics?"

"I don't know anything about any of this."

It's so troublesome...

On April [-]st, I thought hard: "The grocery store? You can buy all kinds of goods, and you don't need any knowledge, and you look very idle. But do you have money?"

Shendai Wugu's eyes brightened: "Then open a grocery store. Don't worry about the money. I got an inheritance from a distant relative not long ago, and I happen to have the title deed of a store."

"But it's my first time as a store manager. If there is something I don't understand, can I ask Miss Yuko?"

"No problem." Yuko Ichihara smiled, "You are always welcome."

"Thank you."

Jindai Wugu was also very happy, and even couldn't wait to bid farewell to April [-]st and Ichihara Yuko. He called the lawyer who left his business card at the beginning, and asked about the legal process and details of opening the store. After a period of time, after everything was ready, Shendai Wugu finally got the key of his own shop.

The shop is upstairs and downstairs. The building is old, but there is no sign of damage. The original owner has preserved it very well, but it has a retro taste.The upper first floor is the place for rest, and the lower one is the place for business.

He is very satisfied with the location and the existing decoration of this store, so there is no need for extra steps, just replace the contents with containers and press the new brand.

After a lot of busy work, the preparations for the store have basically been completed, and the store can be officially opened tomorrow.

On the first day of opening the store, Kindai Wugu was very nervous at home, so he decided to go to the store to see if there was anything missing.

As soon as he went out, he suddenly heard the door next to him open at the same time.

"Ah, Uncle Kabira, you're back." Kamito Kiriko happily greeted his neighbor whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Although he is called Uncle, the next door is obviously a young man in his 20s, with white hair, wearing a green kimono, and wearing retro mini glasses popular in the Showa era, like an old-fashioned old man on the streets of Japan.

"Long time no see." Kawahira looked carefully at Komiko Konoko, and heaved a sigh of relief. The previous time was indeed his own illusion, and he was still "asleep" well.

Sure enough, I lived too long and my perception was wrong.

When the crisis was resolved, Chuanping casually asked, "Going out so late?"

"Well, actually, I opened a grocery store recently, and it will open tomorrow, so I'm a little nervous." Kamito Wugu said shyly, "I want to check it out before it officially opens tomorrow, so I'll go first."

Chuanping stared blankly at the back of Kindai Kiriko, wondering in his heart, where did he get the money?

And what exactly is this bad premonition...

……

Snapped--

Kindai Wugu turned on the light and scanned the store with satisfaction. He opened a Japanese-style grocery store, and the tone of the store is retro, so there will be many old items from the past.

I don't know why, but when I see these things, I always have a familiar feeling, as if I have also experienced that era.

Shendai Wugu probably counted a round of goods and remembered the location of all the goods. At this time, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, and the only dim light in the store barely illuminated a small world, and most places were still filled with darkness.

"The electric light is a bit dim. It would be nice if there was a slightly brighter light." Shendai Wugu said to himself, "How about installing a new light tomorrow?"

He simply stayed in the lounge inside the store, waiting for the opening tomorrow.

Tick, tick, tick

The old pendulum in the store swayed from side to side, making a dull knocking sound, and the hour and minute hands suddenly deviated from their original track and began to rotate crazily.

The nameless mist rises and spreads, some ancient existence seems to be attracted by something, wakes up from a deep sleep, noisy whispers rustle, thick and sticky darkness covers the interior of the shop, sticky tentacles one by one Crawl around and get into the merchandise in the store.

The whispers disappeared, everything was silent, and all the old-fashioned clocks in the store seemed to be broken, rewinding and speeding up for a while, and light suddenly appeared in the darkness that swallowed everything. It was a bubble-shaped energy body composed of countless lights.

An eye made of light on the energy body opened, and after scanning the store, the eyes were entangled in the position of the light bulb and the door, as if making a difficult choice.

He listened for a long time, as if resigned to his fate, the light of bubbles poured into the dim old-fashioned lampshade, and the light in the store was bright for a moment, and the light disappeared again after a few seconds.

Then everything in the grocery store returned to its original state, and all the pendulums worked as usual.

Time went back to the time when the light appeared, and the time of the whole world was disturbed for a moment.

Chuanping, who was already resting on the bed, sat up abruptly, all the laziness in his eyes dissipated, filled with deep puzzlement and shock.

Who has come?Why?

Isn't he still asleep? How did that person get here?

At this moment, Chuanping remembered the abnormality he felt before, and then remembered a certain possibility, and broke into a cold sweat.

He is waking up?
