Cthulhu Grocery Store

"Gone... my diary."

After the guests disappeared, Shendai Wugu found that the diary he had placed on the desktop was missing. He thought it was an illusion, but he couldn't find it everywhere.

"Where did you go..."

Shendai Wugu lay on the ground and searched everywhere. He thought it should have fallen on the ground, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched.

Could it be that guest took it?

Shendai Wugu thought for a while, and went to look for the cash register. There was no missing money in it, and nothing was missing except the diary.

Who would go out of their way to steal a diary?

really weird.

Shendai Wugu returned home with a little frustration. After a day passed, nothing was sold, and his diary was still missing...

This is too unlucky, isn't it true that I am not suitable for opening a shop?

When he returned to the apartment, he saw Uncle Chuanping talking with a white-haired boy in the corridor, and cheered up: "Uncle Chuanping, good evening."

"Good evening, I'm a little late today."

"Well, didn't I open a grocery store recently, and I'm going to look at the store over there." Shindai Wugu scratched his hair, and noticed the white-haired boy who was staring at him curiously.

He looks like a foreigner, with an upside-down purple crown tattoo under his left eye, and a pretty handsome face.

Kamidai Kiriko's gaze swiveled over the similar white hair of the two of them, wondering if this could be Uncle Chuanping's foreign relatives?

"Who is this?"

"By the way, this is my distant cousin, and he will come to live with me temporarily." Chuan Ping gave Bai Lan a "safe" look.

"Hi, I'm Bailan Jesso, from Italy~" Bailan extended his hand friendly.

"It's the first time we've met, your Japanese is really good." Kamidai Wugu also reached out to shake hands with him, and then moved up and down according to the strength of the opponent before retracting.

Bai Lan said with a smile: "Because I like Japanese culture very much, and there are Japanese relatives in my family."

"So it is."

Seeing that the two had known each other for a while, Chuan Ping asked, "Is the opening of the store going well?"

"Um, it's okay." Kamitori Wugu smiled awkwardly, "There are still many things I don't understand, and I'm planning to ask my seniors about this."

"Senior? Are you also the one who runs the shop?" Bai Lan seemed quite interested.

"Yes, she runs a store that fulfills her wishes. I decided to open a store just because of my longing for her." Shendai Wugu said a little embarrassed, after all, the store manager is still a mature and glamorous big girl. beauty.

"Hey~ This is not a very good idea." Bai Lan continued with a smile, "So where is the address of the store? I am also a little interested in this store."

"It's on XX Road. You can see it when you go straight. The decoration of the store is quite conspicuous. There is no sign at the door, but you can recognize it at a glance."

"Yeah, okay, I remember." Bai Lan took out a pack of marshmallows out of nowhere and stuffed them into the arms of Jindai Wugu, "In return, this is for you, it's my favorite strawberry flavor~"

"Hey," Shendai Wugu opened his eyes slightly, "No need, I'm just showing you the way."

"No~ This is a gift. I heard from Uncle Chuanping that yesterday was your birthday, so let's treat it as a belated birthday present." Bai Lan poked Chuanping at the side, "And uncle also prepared a gift for you."

Kindai Kiriko looked at Kawahira in surprise.

Chuanping took the opportunity to take out a wrapped gift from his arms: "This is for you, I'm sorry, I couldn't celebrate your birthday with you when I was abroad."

"No no no, please don't apologize to me," Kamashiro Kirigu's face was stained with a thin layer of red, "It's okay, you didn't have this obligation in the first place, thank you for your gift, Uncle Kabira."

Carefully holding the two gifts in his arms, Shendai Wugu raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and the hole in his heart was filled with a soft emotion.

It's nice to have someone remember your birthday.

Chuanping and Bailan carefully observed the expression of Kindai Kiriko, their eyes seemed to be expecting something to happen.

Under such eyes, Shendai Wugu was at a loss for a moment, thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No, we have something to do, so let's go first." After waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened, Chuan Ping forced a smile, and returned to the next room with Bai Lan.

"By the way," at the moment when the door was about to close, Shendai Wugu remembered something and said to the two of them, "The house opposite me has moved in. Do you want to visit this new neighbor together next time?"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it~" Bai Lan immediately responded.

The door is closed.

Chuanping was disappointed: "Nothing happened."

Bai Lan took out another bag of marshmallows and opened it: "It may not be because of this reason."

"Huh? You clearly said yesterday...!"

"I'm just guessing~" Bai Lan shrugged, "But if it's not because of you, it might just happen naturally. You think, we human beings occasionally turn over when we sleep, what if others just turn over? .”

"Is it the worst situation? This time I turn over, will I wake up naturally next time?" Chuanping sighed, deeply feeling powerless.

The original form is fundamentally different, and human beings cannot interfere with the outer gods.But on the other hand, the law of the dark forest will not happen, because those gods have never regarded human beings as a threat, and they don't know whether it is luck or misfortune.

"That can't be helped. By the way, do you really have no way to put Azathoth back to sleep?"

"How can there be such a thing? At most, it is just to be careful to prevent the individual of God Dai Wugu from being stimulated by the external environment, and it is too difficult for God to fall asleep again." Chuanping shook his head.

"Then since you can't do anything, why did you ask me?" Bai Lan was depressed.

Chuan Ping explained: "The leak of Azathoth's breath may cause other outer gods to descend, or the surroundings may change, which in turn stimulates Azathoth's further awakening. What we can do is to prevent this from happening."

"Then what should I do next?" Bai Lan asked as she stuffed marshmallows into her mouth.

Chuanping thought for a while: "First, analyze what unknown changes happened to God Dai Wugu after that day's birthday."

The two came to a blackboard and sorted out their thoughts little by little.

Chuanping first wrote a herringbone on the blackboard: "From the information you just provided, it seems that Kamdai Kirigo went to a suspicious store after his birthday."

Then there is a simplified drawing of the Little House: "I opened a grocery store under the influence of an unknown female store manager."

Chuan Ping paused, and then drew a bubble-shaped thing on the blackboard: "On the night of opening the store, another god descended. But now it seems that this god has not caused anything to affect God Dai Kiriko."

"Then another neighbor moved into the apartment today." Bai Lan added, but they haven't explored the existence of this neighbor yet, so they skipped it for now.

At the same time, he tapped the little bubble with his finger, and looked at Chuanping meaningfully: "Do you know the information about him?"

"I know." Chuanping nodded.

This time it was Bai Lan's turn to be surprised.

Do you really know?

"Actually, this one is more friendly to human beings, compared with other outer gods..." Chuanping said carefully, "A lot of information about the gods of our family is learned through this person, a certain member of our family I even encountered this one head-on, not only did I not die or go crazy, but I also brought back a lot of forbidden knowledge.”

"His divine name is Yog Sothoth, or known as the All-One, the Key of the Door, and the Ruler of Time and Space."

Chuanping's glasses reflected light slightly: "Don't pay attention to His existence, this is not a god who likes to make trouble, nothing will happen if you leave it alone."

"Is there anyone who likes to make trouble?" Bai Lan followed suit.

"Of course there is..." Chuanping showed an indescribable expression for a moment, "The one who is known as his messenger...but don't worry, fortunately, our family took advantage of him to go to other places In the parallel world, he used the cornerstone of the world to make a barrier, and now he can no longer find the coordinates of this earth."

The premise is that God Dai Wugu did not wake up.

……

Going home for a night's rest, Kamito Wugu got ready to go to Ms. Yuko's shop to inquire about what happened last night. When he was leaving the apartment, he happened to meet the Italian boy who had a photo session yesterday.

"Good morning~Little God Generation."

"Good morning." Kamito Wugu greeted hesitantly.

But what the hell is Little God called...

Well, it seems that I have to adapt to the enthusiasm of foreigners.

"Bai Lan is waiting for you?"

"I'm waiting for you. Actually, I just came to Japan not long ago, and I'm not familiar with the nearby roads. I just wanted to ask if you have time to take me to the shop that is said to make wishes come true." Bai Lan chewed Said with a cotton candy.

"Then let's go together, I also have something to go to Miss Yuko's shop." Kamito Wugu said without any defense.

Oh~ It turned out to be Miss Yuko.

Bai Lan wrote down the name in her heart with a smile.

Along the way, Bailan seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and he would not be cold at all, which made Kamiro Wuko heave a sigh of relief. He was worried that his lack of communication skills would make Bailan feel bored, but fortunately, Bailan kept asking questions about life in Japan. Fortunately, he can also answer.

"Bai Lan, do you like cotton candy very much?" Shendai Wugu looked at the cotton candy bag that Bai Lan kept in his hand. This person seems to have been eating candy since just now, won't he get tired of it?

"I like it very much~ I like it so much that I will die if I don't eat it." Bai Lan got a lot of information that Kamichi Kirigu inadvertently revealed through various topics along the way, and I didn't notice it at all, so I'm in a good mood now.

"Okay," Shendai Wugu didn't say anything more about other people's interests, and stopped, "Here, it's here, let's go in."

After taking two steps, he found that there were no footsteps behind him, and turned his head in doubt: "What's wrong?"

Bai Lan opened her narrowed eyes, looked at the wall in front of her, and subconsciously asked, "Where is there..."

He suddenly realized something, and immediately fell silent, cold sweat dripping down his back.

"Huh?" Shendai Wugu tilted his head in confusion, his eyes under the black-rimmed glasses were a rare, rigid black.

Like an abyss, there is no light shining through.

"What's the matter? Come in quickly."

Being stared at by such eyes, Bai Lan gradually felt the invisible pressure.

[God Dai Wugu cannot be made aware of the 'abnormality', otherwise it may stimulate him to wake up. 】

If I was not careful, I was on the verge of the destruction of the world. It seemed that I was a little too complacent just now.

Now, what to do...
