Revive it!Wenhao Press

The closest Shofudo bookstore to Hoshinosha is located in Jiyugaoka at the junction of Setagaya and Meguro districts in Tokyo.

Jiyugaoka is not far from the bustling Shibuya, and is located at the junction of subway lines, with convenient transportation.And similar to Shimokitazawa, the place where Hualijun chose to distribute the magazine trial reading for free in order to sell the first issue of "Monthly Literature", this is also an area full of literary atmosphere.

And Songfengtang undoubtedly carries the local style, it is a well-decorated bookstore.

Hualichun stood at the door of the bookstore.At this moment, what Gongqianjian said on the phone rang again in her ears.

[Whether the books in the bookstore are tidy, the way the books are placed, the status of the clerk, etc., can tell you what kind of style the store has and how the bookstore is operating. 】

Walking into Songfengtang, Hualichun found that the books in the store are neatly arranged, and the log-style decoration can maximize the charm of paper books.There is also a reading corner with a coffee bar in one corner of the store.The clerks in the store also uniformly wear white shirts and dark aprons, blending into the environment of the store.

Judging from these items, Songfutang is a very particular bookstore, and its operating conditions are quite good.

[The next thing to confirm is the types of books that this bookstore mainly sells, the most highly recommended publications, and the main customer groups.What these contents reveal is the personality of this bookstore. 】

Hualichun was holding her schoolbag, walking among the bookshelves, observing the customers in the bookstore.

Most of the customers in this bookstore are well-dressed literary youths, and there are also a few old people.The child was nowhere to be seen.

Most of the books sold in the store are literature, all kinds of youth chronicles, women's chronicles, etc. As for the comics and textbooks needed by children, they are quite rare.

Hualichun looked at the books on the shelf, and suddenly understood why Gongqian Jian could predict in advance that Shofudo might contact Hoshinosha for cooperation—it was because "Monthly Literature" happened to be the main type of publication Shofudo sells.

While thinking, while scanning the bookshelves in the store, Hualichun suddenly saw the most conspicuous volume in the magazine area.

——It was the magazine "Literary Times" that Hualichun found when searching the Internet, with an average sales volume of 300 million copies.

As expected, it is the magazine with the highest sales volume in Japan. "Literary Times" is placed in the most conspicuous position on the bookshelf. It is not a vertical arrangement that only exposes the spine of the book, but a flat arrangement that allows the entire cover to be seen at a glance.

At the same time, there are also advertisements for "The Age of Literature" on the billboards in the store.It seems that "Literary Times" is a magazine that Songfengtang Bookstore attaches great importance to.

The comic magazine "Monthly Girls" that Ken Miyamae works for is also sold here, but the area is in a small comic area, and the placement is quite different from that of "Literary Times".

And some magazines with lower sales volume are placed in more inconspicuous places. They are all arranged vertically in a row, with only a narrow spine exposed. If customers don’t pull out a single magazine, they can’t even see the magazine clearly. name.Or it is pressed under the high-selling magazines, and you can't see them unless you remove the magazines above.

"So there's so much knowledge, I didn't notice it before..." Hualichun looked at the magazines on the bookshelf and sighed.

She stepped forward, picked up a copy of "The Age of Literature and Art" and flipped through it.

A cursory scan cannot tell the quality of the article, but it can be seen that the content of "The Age of Literature and Art" is very solid.At least one thing can be confirmed - that is, the number of articles published in "Literary Times" is much higher than the number of articles in "Monthly Literature".

And until today, "Monthly Literature" has not even had the chance to be placed on the shelves of bookstores.There is still a long way to go before becoming the number one in the industry.

However, after it is put on the shelves in bookstores, the sales of "Monthly Literature" will definitely take a big step forward.

Just as Hualichun was flipping through the magazine in her hand, a voice suddenly sounded beside her: "You are reading "Literary Times"."

Hualichun turned around and saw a short-haired girl in a black uniform looking curiously at the magazine in her hand.

The short-haired girl has fair skin and a pretty face, and there is a vivid tear mole under her eyes, but she has a faint, peppermint-like spicy breath on her body.

She stretched out the fingers in her sleeves and waved at Hualichun, and said, "Recently, I have also become a little interested in literature, so I plan to find some books to read. Are you a fan of "The Age of Literature and Art?" Would you recommend this magazine?"

"Ah, no..."

Hualichun paused, closed the "Literary Times" in her hand, and put it back on the bookshelf.

"Not fans, but competitors." She said seriously.

The short-haired girl was a little surprised: "Huh?"

……

Hualichun spent the whole afternoon running through all three bookstores that sent the email.

She didn't return to Hoshinosha until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was getting dark.

Among the three bookstores surveyed today, Shofudo tends to be literary and artistic; Sanxianya mostly receives middle-aged and elderly customers; Ueno Bookstore is a comprehensive bookstore with all kinds of books, and there are no special types of customers.

Among the three bookstores, Jun Huali thinks that the cooperation process will be the smoothest. It is Shofudo, followed by Ueno Bookstore, and finally Sanxianya.

While thinking like this, the moment he pushed open the gate of the Hoshinosha, an extremely intense dog bark suddenly came from the gate.

Hualichun's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by the barking dog.She was startled, and her hands couldn't help shaking.

Did Dazai Inu make Chuya Inu angry again?

No, no—

Hualichun suddenly realized something was wrong—that high-pitched dog bark was not the sound of a Zhongye dog.

That's not the sound of any dog ​​in the publishing house right now!

Before she even had time to take off her shoes, Hualichun rushed into the small building on the second floor.But as soon as she entered the door, she was startled by the scene in front of her.

In the office area on the first floor with few furniture, all the papers, pens and magazines on the table were scattered all over the place, the coffee table and filing cabinets were all shifted from their original positions, the pillows on the sofa were covered with dust, and there were still a few wet spots on the floor. paw prints.

Fortunately, valuable computers and other items were not damaged.

The next second, Hualichun heard a dog barking from the backyard again: "Wow, woof!"

She hurriedly ran to the backyard.But as soon as she ran out of the corridor, she was taken aback by the sight in front of her.

What appeared in front of Hualichun was the little white tiger who had fled from the wilderness.And right behind the little white tiger, there was a black dog who didn't know where it came from, driving the little white tiger up and down all over the yard.

I am afraid that the messy room is caused by the little white tiger and the black dog chasing the room.

"Teacher Nakajima!" Hualichun called out hastily.

"Aww!" Hearing Hualichun's voice, the little white tiger suddenly looked in her direction.

Perhaps it was the appearance of Hualichun that gave him the feeling of being supported. The little white tiger who had been chased all over the place just now slammed on the brakes, changed his cowardice just now, and turned his head to face the black shadow that was galloping towards him. She bared her snow-white teeth: "Woohoo!"

Seeing this, the black dog not only didn't back down, but sped up its speed, almost turning into a black lightning bolt: "Wow, woof, woof!"

Seeing that the little tiger was about to fight the black dog, Hualichun's heart suddenly tensed up.And at this moment, a sand-colored shadow unexpectedly appeared in the slanting thorns.

"Wang Wang."

At some point, Dazai Inu calmly appeared in the middle of the little white tiger and the black dog.The sand-colored dog raised its paw facing the black dog that was rushing forward and had no time to brake.

"Teacher Dazai, be careful!" Huali Jun was taken aback.

However, the bandaged, fluffy brown paw was already pressing on the black dog's head.

A scene beyond Hualichun's expectation appeared: the moment it touched Dazai dog's paw, the berserk black dog suddenly calmed down.Hualichun even saw the black dog's tail almost shaking uncontrollably.

Under her stunned gaze, Dazai Inu withdrew its paws, raised its head a little triumphantly, turned around and walked into the room unhurriedly.

"..."

Seeing that under the mediation of the Dazai dog, the little white tiger and the black dog stopped fighting, Hualichun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While guarding against the black dog's movements, the little white tiger turned around and walked towards Hualichun.And the black dog didn't intend to continue to approach the little white tiger or Hualichun, but he didn't intend to leave the backyard of the publishing house either.He sat upright on the spot, raised one paw, and began to use his tongue to comb the hair that became messy when he was chasing with the little white tiger.

Only then did Hualichun see clearly the appearance of the black dog that broke in suddenly.

It was a medium-sized dog, but slightly smaller than Dazai.The black dog's hair is pure black, except for the ends of two fluffy ears hanging from the sides of the head, with a circle of snow-white soft hair rolling.

As if realizing that Hualichun was looking at him, the black dog's tail stood up straight and he gave her a cold look.

Although he didn't intend to attack her, the black dog was filled with a kind of sick madness, and his eyes seemed to have piercing thorns, no matter who went there, he would be stabbed.It seems that he is not a good-natured dog.

It's just that it doesn't match the aggressive aura of the black dog. On his raised black paw, there is a small pink plum blossom blooming.

Seeing this, Hualichun's eyes sharpened.

- This teacher's paw pads are also pink!

At present, Hualichun doesn't dare to talk to the strange little black dog immediately, so he has to clean up the messy room first.After wiping the things on the ground and putting them back in their original places, and dismantling the soiled cushions and washing them in the washing machine, she went back to the backyard porch.

The little black dog still stood there, watching the movement in the room with piercing eyes.

"Do you want to come in?" Hualichun asked the little black dog as he stepped aside from the door.

Hearing this, the little black dog looked up at her and then at the door.

In the room on the first floor, Dazai Inu was lying on the sofa and taking a nap.The little white tiger has already gone back to his room.And the Chinese dog has been absent in the afternoon, maybe he went out for a walk.

His eyes fell on Dazai Inu, and he paused for a moment.The little black dog seemed to be hesitating.

And at this moment, Dazai Inu seemed to be aware of a gaze falling on him, opened his eyes, raised his head, and cast a glance in this direction.Seeing that it was the little black dog and not Hualichun who was looking at him, the sand-colored dog lazily closed his eyes again.

And the little black dog was glanced at by the Dazai dog, and without Huali Chun saying anything, he took the initiative to take a step and quietly entered the room.

Although he looked calm on the surface, the little black dog's steps were a little nervous, and for a moment he even moved his hands and feet together.

Hualichun was a little surprised to see the little black dog walking to the front of the sofa step by step, looking up at Dazai dog on the sofa.Although his posture remained high and cold, the tip of his tail wobbled with a little anxiety, and the fierce temperament on his body was also slightly diluted.

This little black dog seems to care about Dazai Inu very much, the way he looks in front of Dazai Inu is completely different from the way he is not in front of Dazai Inu.

Maybe he suddenly appeared at Hoshinosha because he was attracted by the Dazai dog here?

But since the little black dog wants to come to Hoshinosha, there is a procedure that he cannot avoid.

Thinking of this, Hualichun looked at the little black dog's dusty fur even though he had taken care of it carefully, and recalled the pink pads on his paws, his expression gradually became solemn, and he raised his hand involuntarily to make a Scratching: "..."

The little black dog was still staring at Dazai dog raptly, with a look of wanting to give up.And Hualichun gradually approached the ignorant little black dog, slipped through his armpit unawares, picked him up, rushed into the bathroom, and locked the door.

Clang!

It wasn't until this time that the little black dog realized that he had been attacked by Huali.I saw that the little black dog who was staring at the Dazai dog to restrain his arrogance just now changed back to the appearance of a vicious dog, and broke free from Hualichun's grasp, jumped to the ground, and turned to her and uttered a low-pitched threat Voice.

Hualichun picked up the shower head and tried to persuade: "Don't be afraid, it's just a shower."

In order to prove her words, she turned on the shower head, pointed to the harmless warm water and explained: "It's just water."

Unexpectedly, it would be fine if she didn't say anything. As soon as he spit out the words "bath" and "water", the little black dog's behavior suddenly became more irritable, and even hated getting wet even more than the little white tiger, a cat who is naturally afraid of water.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, I saw the little black dog staring at his hind legs, suddenly leaped high, knocked off the shower head in Hualichun's hand with one claw, and then landed steadily, staring at him with murderous eyes. Looking at her: "Wow, woof, woof!"

The flying shower head threw water all over Hualichun's face.

Hualichun, who had been dumped four times, looked at the wet clothes on her body, silently picked up the shower head, and hung it on the wall again: "..."

Just when she was worrying about how to clean the little black dog who was extremely resistant to taking a bath, the bathroom door suddenly opened with a "click".

A sand-colored dog's head protruded from the door, and quickly glanced into the bathroom cleverly.

"..."

Hualichun was taken aback.She obviously locked the door, how did Dazai Inu open the door and come in?Could it be that this dog can pick a lock?

But Dazai Gou didn't seem to care about Hualichun's unexpected gaze.After he watched the scene in the bathroom, the fluffy dog ​​first showed a clear expression on his face, and then walked in with his head held high.

Shi Shiran, the Dazai dog, sat down in front of the little black dog, looking at the little black dog calmly with kite-colored eyes, his eyes looked very wise.

At that moment, the arrogance of the little black dog subsided in an instant, and the barking that blurted out changed from an angry "woof woof" to a restrained and cautious "woof".

Dazai raised its paw in the direction of the shower head: "Wow."

Under Hualichun's stunned gaze, the little black dog turned around immediately, walked towards the shower head with stiff limbs, and stood under the water flow with humiliation.

The pitch-black hair was drenched by water, and immediately covered the dog's face wetly.And the little black dog whose facial features were blocked by wet fur stood motionless underwater, like a dog whose heart had died.
