Invincible conjurers don't need love

Spring is over and summer is coming. Summer is a good season. The sun is shining, the trees are shaded, the sky is blue, and you can also see the cloud-like traces left by the plane across the sky. The high-pile clouds and the blue sky present Beyond the clear boundaries, the sunlight reflects the uncertain clouds, and there is like another city, the city called the Kingdom of Heaven.

The heaven of clouds formed by the wind overlooks the cities on the ground, and the ups and downs of the world are still repeated all the time, monotonous, it seems impossible to say?It's complicated, and I seem to be used to it.

During the day, she carefully paid attention to the black cat that was snuggling at her feet and clinging to her. In her arms, she was holding a large bunch of cornflowers that were about to be placed outside the store. , what I like the most is Bai Yi, who has always maintained a calm and powerful attitude towards it.

The white-haired 'boy' and the black cat in the attire of a flower shop clerk, the dappled light beams under the shade of the road, and the street shops where the light and shadow are clearly intertwined due to the too bright sunlight, this scene is so beautiful that it looks like a painting, which has attracted many people. the eyes of passers-by.

'Young man' is very quiet, 'he' never solicits business from passers-by, he does his own thing without saying a word, if no one talks to 'he', he seems to be able to be silent until the sunset of the day, some people will follow 'him' 'The involuntary mind calmed down, but some people tried to strike up a conversation and wanted the 'boy' to say a few words and became regular customers of this store.

Setsuko Fukawa, who is studying at Yokohama University, is one of the latter.

"Miss Setsuko, good day." Bai Tian, ​​who was inserting the blue cornflower in his hand into the flower basket, heard the footsteps stopping beside him, and was not surprised by the cautious and anxious woman in front of him. I can see that Fuchuan Setsuko's expression is too low today, as if something unfortunate has happened.

"Good day, Mr. Bai."

"Are you also buying flowers for your father who is hospitalized this time?" Bai Zhou took the initiative to ask,

"...Yes." Setsuko Fukawa twitched the corners of her mouth with some difficulty, looking at the handsome and picturesque 'boy' who was seven years younger than her, and always talking to this person, looking at the girl surrounded by flowers "He", Setsuko Fukawa's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

But Setsuko Fukawa knew what this meant, but she couldn't express her heart to this hymn-like crush who made people want to hold it in the palm of their hand and read it carefully.

"Is it still a white lily?" Bai Tian said, putting the last few cornflowers in his hand into the flower basket.

Setsuko Fuchuan shook her head: "Is it the flower in Mr. Bai's hand today? Is it...?"

"Cornflower, it represents delicacy, elegance, symbolizes happiness, and also has the meaning of 'encountering happiness'." Bai Tian said and handed a branch of cornflower to Setsuko Fuchuan, expressing with actions that she gave it to him , "Miss Setsuko doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Setsuko Fukawa opened her eyes slightly, like a believer blessed by a priest, she took the cornflower with her hands carefully, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you."

"Is it still Bai Lily today?"

"...Well." Fu Chuanjiezi's eyes flashed water, showing a smile that seemed to be crying in a second, "Excuse me, please give me a bouquet of white lilies."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Bai Tian walked into the store, Fu Chuanjiezi did not go in, but waited until Bai Tian took out the wrapped flowers, and she handed the money to Bai Tian, ​​"Then Good luck with your work today."

"Thank you." Watching Setsuko Fuchuan leave during the daytime, she thought, today should be the last time this lady came to give her a special opinion.

"Ah Zhou." The old grandma called happily, "Come and eat a little cake~"

"Yes!" Hearing the sound, Bai Zhou re-entered the flower shop.

"The one who just came to buy Bai Lily, is that Miss Fu Chuan again?" The old man said kindly, even through the thick reading glasses, he seemed to be able to feel her gentle and kind eyes.

"Yes, and if it's not some special festival in the future, Miss Setsuko will not come here to buy flowers specially, especially the white lily that her father loves." Picking up the cake fork, Bai Zhou said calmly.

The old man understood Bai Tian's meaning, and his expression showed a bit of sadness: "Oh... I hope that child will be happy in the future."

"It will definitely." Bai Zhou nodded, expressing his sincere wishes.

Setsuko Fukawa walked, looking down at the bouquet of white lilies in her arms. This time, the ribbons tied were no longer the light yellow, sky blue, light blue, etc. that shops used to prefer, but pure white.

Nothing can fool your eyes, Mr. Bai.

Setsuko Fukawa tightly held the branch of cornflower, tears moistened her eyes, and the overflowing tears obeyed the gravity of the earth, dripping down in big drops.

"This cornflower is very special, although it's a bit disturbing... May I ask where you bought it?" The young man asked cautiously and anxiously to interrupt her sadness.

Setsuko Fukawa raised her head and looked at this young man who seemed to be unable to understand the atmosphere and timing.

"That, that, do you want to wipe your tears first?" Probably really want to know where you bought that cornflower, and he is obviously not good at socializing, especially women, let alone crying women. Somewhat at a loss, he took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Setsuko Fukawa.

"I'm sorry." Setsuko Fukawa also knew how embarrassing and out of character she was, she quickly wiped her tears, and pointed in the direction of the flower shop while suppressing her crying, "You can find it by walking along this street. A flower shop called 'Flower Country'."

"Thank you! I really bother you, because this branch of cornflower seems to have been bathed in the sun, and the petals seem to have faint golden veins. It is really quite rare and beautiful. It should be a new variety—by the way, I am a practitioner who specializes in the study of flowers and plants, this is my business card, I really didn't come to bother you for no reason."

Before Setsuko Fukawa could say anything, the young man was already rushing towards the direction she pointed with his bag on his back. The excited look really made people laugh, and Setsuko Fukawa blinked while holding the business card.

The sadness of being interrupted inevitably faded.

Let’s stop here for the sad tears. If I cry any more, it seems to be over, and it seems that there is no truth from the inside at the beginning. Such tears are just self-moving rather than real gratitude to my father.

During the daytime, he didn't know what happened to Setsuko Fukawa after he left, but he only knew that a customer came before he finished his dim sum. This eager customer with a sense of vegetation bought all the basket of cornflowers outside. After getting down, I asked the old lady who is the owner of the shop if there are any flower seedlings of this flower.

Just because this flower is like a plant grown in a pure land where there is no pollution and cold, the veins seem to be soaked with sunlight and faintly glow with golden threads, this kind of flower is really heartbreaking.

"If you want, I'll go to the flower room and get you some plants, but they need a lot of sunlight, please pay attention to give them a longer period of light than ordinary flower plants." In the daytime, it can be seen that the young man is very fond of plants. With love and persistence from the bottom of her heart, she agreed. In fact, she didn't grow much, but she saw how hard it was for the grandmother to take care of the flowers and plants by herself, so she went to help on a regular basis.

When the flowers and plants in the greenhouse lacked natural sunlight for a long time, I was worried that the plants would be decadent and withered, so I used some magic power to replace the heat lamp in the center of the greenhouse as sunlight. This probably affected those plants.

The old woman also knew that this change began after the day came, so she kept silent about it all the time.

The young man left with a smile on his face. He was not the young master of a wealthy family. He had always worked hard alone. Just looking at his old and white backpack, it can be seen that this man is usually a How frugal, but he is not reluctant to spend the money he saved from working on the flowers and plants he loves.

"As expected of Ah Zhou." The old man sighed.

"Wonderful praise, your contribution accounts for the vast majority." Bai Tian shook her head, she thought she didn't do much, most of the time it was still the grandmother who was over [-] years old who took care of the flowers and plants, she just helped to take care of the elderly She had no time to take care of the missing point, she carried the empty basket outside back to the store, "Let me put this back in the utility room first."

"Hey, okay, I'm in trouble." The old man hurriedly said, "It's really troublesome."

"You don't have to be so polite. Please tell me if there is anything else you need me to do. After all, I am a shop assistant working here." Bai Tian quickly put the things away, and continued to accompany the old man in the flower shop, While learning flower arranging with the old man, she was listening to classical music from the old radio that should be older than her.

At dusk and dusk, when the twilight enters the store, the flowers of all colors are inevitably dyed in bright red, orange and yellow hues, so the old man wearing presbyopic glasses and reading a book raised his head and realized that it was time to get off work in the daytime up.

"Be careful on the way home." The old man stood at the door, and together with the black cat Ke Ke, looked at Bai Tian who had changed into a shop assistant's outfit, wearing a sand-colored windbreaker, and the red fluffy shawl, whether she was wearing it on one shoulder or wearing it. Wearing it behind her, she has never left her, and the same is true for the pair of golden sunset earrings.

But that is not against the harmony, on the contrary, it has become her symbol and symbol, but it would be ridiculous for anyone other than her to dress like this, just like a poor impostor.

After saying hello briefly, Bai Tian bid farewell to the reluctant old man.

Probably because he is getting older, every time the old man says goodbye, it seems that he is afraid that there will be no next meeting, and he always smiles and speaks with great enthusiasm.

The old man who has long loved Bai Tian as his granddaughter is even more reluctant to part with Bai Tian, ​​but thinking that this child has a family he cares about, the phrase "Why don't you stay at my house" can't be said selfishly. Swallow silently.

So I looked forward to the child walking into the store tomorrow under the halo of the rising sun and setting, or saying good morning to her with a serious expressionless expression or a faint smile.

During the daytime, she likes sour sweets, so the old man got used to making sour snacks during the four or five years of her acquaintance. If her beloved grandson comes, I’m afraid she won’t be used to grandma’s snacks anymore. Because he is no longer the old man's favorite cub.

Unfortunately, in the past four or five years, the grandson that the old man would talk about from time to time has not been able to come to Yokohama. The old man understands this. After all, Yokohama is a very difficult city to adapt to. A group of strong men in black suits appeared.

The sound of gunshots, the sound of broken objects, the panicked and nervous screams of people...

Everyone in Yokohama should be familiar with it.

But since the day came, the old man never heard such a terrible sound or smelled the choking gunpowder near his shop. The past few years were so quiet that the old man almost forgot that he was in Yokohama.

Bai Tian, ​​who was always in the heart of the old man, did not go back directly to Leibo Street, but came to a place near the sea in Yokohama, where there is a western restaurant called "Zi Zi Xuan". The meals are also delicious, and after knowing that Bai Tian is from Leibo Street, I will give her some special care every time.

On the contrary, during the daytime, when you can hold your breath for a long time, you will also go fishing in the sea to catch all kinds of seafood for the boss to enrich the food storage, so that he can save some expenses. That point can only be regarded as the craftsmanship of cooking food, and the boss's cooking is much more delicious.

"How's your part-time job today?" The boss who was fishing at the seaside opposite Zi Zixuan's store greeted enthusiastically, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's going well, I want to eat seafood rice bowl today, and pack another four."

"Okay!" The boss put away the fishing rod, "Then let's go into the store together!"

"Didn't you catch anything today?" Bai Zhou said.

"Fishing is a kind of thing, there must be bad luck sometimes!" The boss quips, even if he can't catch any seafood every time, he always thinks it's just his bad luck.

"This is the so-called gambler's mentality. It is clear that every time a day is wasted, but I feel that I will definitely catch something good next time." Bai Zhou sighed, "This kind of resilience of self-deception is also worthy of admiration."

The boss who had been told was not angry at all, he was honest and kind, but he just felt very ashamed, so he patted Bai Tian on the shoulder to change the subject: "Ahem! Let's go! Uncle will make you a seafood rice bowl! Yesterday you fished it The big lobster, uncle still left it for you!"

"Okay." Food is the most important thing for people, and as a member of the flower growers, he closed his mouth obediently during the day.

"By the way, do you want to eat chicken wings? Uncle recently learned how to make honey sauce chicken wings! There are also cheese chicken legs! Do you want to try it?"

"It's all, sorry for your trouble!" Bai Zhou nodded, touched his pockets and calculated how much he should pay, and felt happy after making sure he had enough cash.

The boss's kindness is good intentions, but Bai Tian must not take the other party's kindness for granted, even if such kindness has lasted for three years, it should be said that it is because it has lasted for three years that he should be treated more seriously.

In her eyes, there are far more good people in this world than evil people, even though she has been living in Leibo Street since she came to this world, what she watched carefully and remembered in her heart, There will always be only those who treat her with kindness and tenderness.

"Here we come! Your seafood rice bowl! Eat it while it's hot!" The boss, who knows that the food during the day is larger than ordinary people, also has a big plate full today.

Bai Tian clasped his hands together and said "I'm starting", then picked up a spoon and ate happily. The boss looked at Bai Tian with a good appetite, turned around and started making chicken wings for her. The restaurants near the sea mainly attract those fishermen. The person who lives by the sea is the shop he opened in his own house, and there are usually not many customers on weekdays, and the people who come are old acquaintances and old customers.

During the day, I feel that I am actually living a good life. Now I am not short of money. The place I live has also changed drastically, but it is still the warehouse. The leader is treacherous and cunning, stuck with their identity documents.

After all, it was a wrong step, and no matter how much you regret later, it will be useless. To be honest, no matter which organization they go to, the organization will want to hold on to them. What is their weakness, the organization will take whatever Hold on tight.

After all, Chuya Nakahara didn't pledge allegiance to the port of Mafia at all, so how could he give him his ID at ease? I'm afraid that if he gave it, Chukahara would just take Akutagawa Ryunosuke and disappear in Yokohama.

And Zhong Yuanzhong doesn't bother to pretend to cover up his truth. Even if he is restrained, he lives more freely and without regrets than anyone else. He will never kneel down easily, which is the arrogance and stubbornness born in his bones.

Yokohama was the birthplace of him and the daytime, and Nakahara Nakaya was born with a feeling of closeness and love for it. He said he wanted to stay here and look at this city by the sea. The city has fallen to its roots.

The same is true during the day, she regards this place as her hometown, and her former motherland is the hometown she can never go back to.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Bai Tian picked up the packaged meal, put the money under the chopsticks and said silently, "Then I'll take my leave."

"Oh! What do you want to eat next time, call uncle and let me know in advance."

"Well, thank you for your care all the time."

"Oh! What kind words are there!"

- Time to go home.

Today seems to be a peaceful past.

If possible, Bai Tian hopes that this peace will never be broken. No matter how repeated this kind of life, she will not be bored in the slightest, just like listening to Osamu Dazai muttering about trivial matters and complaints that have nothing to do with her, even if she spends the whole time Just because she didn't say a word didn't mean she wasn't listening.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Zhou realized that Osamu Dazai hadn't come to see her for a while, which was really abnormal, and something must have happened, so let's go and see him tonight.

The author has something to say:

【Yokohama Small Theater】:

Bai Zhou: Didn't I say that?

Chuya: ... (brother is heartbroken)

Dazai: This is something I dare not think about at all. I thought that 'acquainted friends' was already the limit, but I didn't expect it to be 'siblings'.

Bai Zhou: So I haven't made it clear all this time?

Akutagawa: Such an obtuse Baitian sister is also quite cute.

Chuya: I didn't ask clearly.

Dazai: Is it normal for friends to talk about things~ Just like Oda Saku, he actually adopted fifteen children!I don't even know without asking!

Bai Bai: Then go to Lupine to drink tonight Dazai?

Zhongye: Mustard River.

Akutagawa: (Gatling)

Dazai: (smiling calmly) Go~ Of course go~ But let’s run before that—or I’m afraid I’ll spend a month’s night in the hospital!

Bai Zhou: (being pulled away)?

Chuya: Don't take my sister for granted and join your camp!go to hell!Dazai! (I dare not drive Gatling during the day) Akutagawa!

Akutagawa: (hands out the sniper rifle)
