Saturday is the most magical day in Xingjian Yao's memory.

First, when I was shopping outside with Mo Lilan and the others, I witnessed a murder, and then I was forced to watch a half-day reasoning show between Sera Masumi and Edogawa Conan.

However, as a former clerk of the underworld, he was the only one present who could see the existence of the soul.

Xingjian Haruka knew all the truth almost immediately, and she couldn't open her mouth to identify the prisoner, so she had to pretend that she didn't know anything and watched the farce.

Later, she also witnessed the scene where the prisoner tried to escape and was kicked unconscious by Edogawa Conan with a football out of thin air.

It was also at that time that she knew that the child who flew past her on a skateboard and knocked her down and injured her was this person.

"..."

Sure enough, meeting the murderer today is due to the God of Death, right?

Not only that, but she also met the police who stopped her from leaving that day. They were responsible for investigating the case and dealing with the follow-up.

Her good mood all day suddenly disappeared.

She separated from Mao Lilan and the others early and returned to Bingsheng with the shopping bag in her hand. Because she was out shopping with her friends, Tsurumaru Kuninaga did not follow her. When she passed a strange alley, she was driven by a family. Gates, houses with yards strewn with eccentric knick-knacks are attracted.

"Welcome, do you want to come in and take a look?" A young man with yellow and blue pupils stood in front of her at some point, with a gentle smile on his lips, "This is my shop."

This is a person whose appearance and temperament do not match at all.

Wearing a dark-colored costume that looks a bit like a Tang suit, she has long soft black hair, cool white skin, and a slight sense of melancholy in her eyebrows and eyes. She is a slightly cool beauty.

If he doesn't laugh.

However, when he smiles, people feel gentle and elegant. What is revealed in those heterochromatic pupils is not the clarity, confidence, and publicity that young people should have, but more the care and tolerance of experienced seniors. .

Obviously, it looks like a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Xing Jianyao also noticed that he held a light yellow fox with fluff in his arms, which was a tube fox.

"Can I...can I touch it?" She asked softly.

The black-haired youth narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course."

She raised her foot and stepped into this so-called "shop".

Under the watchful eyes of the black-haired young man, he stretched out his hand little by little, covering the yellow fluff, which was as soft as in memory, and his body was warm. Hoshimi Haruka showed nostalgic look, "Before, I raised it too. A little fox is soft and warm to the touch."

"That's right, then you must love that child very much, right?"

"...Well." She nodded hesitantly, "A little bit, I just make fried tofu for it occasionally."

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet... sir?"

He stretched out his hand to help his eyes, looked at her squarely and said, "My name is April [-]st, Jun Xun, the manager of this store."

"Just now you also said that this is a store, what kind of store is this?" Xing Jianyao couldn't help being curious, she didn't seem to see any counters or other decorations.

"A shop that can make any wish come true, of course, there is a price to pay."

"Can wishes come true...?"

It was the first time Xing Jianyao had heard of such a strange and novel store, but she quickly dispelled the little bit of curiosity in her heart.

You have to pay a price to realize your wishes. It is true that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

If you don't pay, you won't get anything in return.

Generally speaking, in a situation like this, there is usually no good ending.

Human desires are like an abyss, endless and never full.

Thinking of this, she looked at the other party's gentle gaze, and slowly shook her head, "Well, I...probably, I want to leave..."

The person watching her with a smile interrupted her retreat with a calm tone, "Xiaoyao, what is your wish?"

Facing the inquiry, after thinking about it, Xing Jianyao seriously told the other party, "I have no wish."

"This is impossible." The man named Jun Xun on April [-] lowered his eyes slightly, stroking Guan Hu in his arms with his fingers, and his words were like a blunt knife, sharp and full of strong desire Offensive, "This store, only those who have wishes to come true can walk in. You come here, which means that you are a selected customer, which is also a special kind of fate."

He raised his eyelashes, and repeated the question in a gentle tone, "So, what is your wish?"

Xingjian Yao frowned slightly, showing disapproving eyes, and refuted his statement, "...I just accidentally saw something in the yard, I didn't come here on my own initiative, you invited me .”

"No." The young man said with certainty, "It is inevitable that you will come here. There are no accidents in this world."

"People who don't have wishes, those who are not selected, can't see our store."

"So, Xiaoyao, recall carefully, what is your wish?"

"..." Xing Jianyao lowered her head and fell into silence. After a few seconds passed, she sullenly told the other party, "Sorry, I really have no wish."

After speaking, she turned and ran away in a panic.

The moment she stepped out of the door, she heard the person behind her say, "See you next time."

That determined tone seemed to confirm that she would definitely go again.

She really has no wishes.

The only wish before was to live, but now that it has been fulfilled, she has nothing to pursue.

That person can satisfy her with these small daily things in life, and all she wants is to do things with him that she never had the chance to do in the past.

It can be achieved without paying a price.

and……

She thought of something scary.

She didn't tell the man her name, but he called her "Xiaoyao".

He was a very gentle person, special... But when she was stared at by that gentle gaze, she felt a little flustered for no reason. She ran away in fear even though the other person treated her so kindly.

What made her feel the chills most was that when she ran out of the alley, she deliberately wrote down the location, and asked Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko when she got home. The other party had never heard of a special store there, not only that , Sera Masumi, who happened to pass by nearby, took a picture of her.

In that photo...

It's that store.

But Shiliang Zhenchun couldn't see it.

Knowing the name of the other party and being treated with such an inexplicable attitude, Xingjian Haruka was a little flustered, and she even began to wonder if she really...had a wish that didn't exist?

This is the first time since I came to this world that I feel so uneasy.

Hoshimi Haruka called the ghost lamp of hell and told him about the shop that could fulfill his wish. He didn't have much hope at first, but the response from the other party confirmed that there was indeed that shop.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of flipping through the scrolls, the voice of the ghost lamp was calm as usual, "That is a special shop. It used to be run by a witch from the dimension. After the witch passed away, a new shop owner was changed. I will let you know who the current shop owner is. I haven’t paid attention to it, but it does exist.”

"... But, I don't have a wish?" Xingjian Yao still didn't understand why he could see it.

"Oh, maybe you haven't noticed it yet. Since the store manager said we'll see you next time, it means you'll be there sooner or later." The Assistant Officer's tone was as calm as when he sentenced the convict to serve thousands of years in prison.

Xingjian Haruka: "..."

So what does she really want?

Before she could figure out why, the busy person hung up her phone, and she curled up on the bed with the doll in her arms, falling into an infinite dilemma of thinking.

It would be nice if Kyoya was here.

She wouldn't be so bothered!

Fortunately, he will be back in just one day.

******

On Monday, for the first time after school, Xing Jianyao didn't visit Polo's coffee shop, nor did he accept the invitation of the three of Mao Lilan to go out to play. Instead, he carried his schoolbag and ran all the way home after getting off the tram.

The one who greeted her... was Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

"He, where's Kyouya?" The panting girl who ran away had flushed cheeks, and looked at him expectantly while leaning on the threshold.

"Uh..." Tsurumaru Kuninaga looked away a little guilty, hesitating and not knowing how to answer this girl with eyes full of hope.

"What's wrong?" Xing Jianyao was a little anxious, "Has he not come back yet?"

"Mr. Caobi called just now and said that they won't be coming back today." His voice was extremely low, and his eyes were flying around, afraid that the light in those eyes would dim.

And those bright light purple pupils dotted with hope, did become dull in an instant.

It's clearly said.

That's it.

She hated waiting all the time.

It used to be that way.

She couldn't go anywhere, she wasn't allowed to go anywhere, she could only lie on the hospital bed and was forced to wait, always waiting for that person.

If she couldn't see her, she would be restless all day long. She couldn't remember how many times she had to wait from night to dawn the next day.

It must be that there was no parting after the reunion, which made her forget the painful waiting in the past.

He has often broken his promise since before.

How could she forget it.

Why do you think that person...will really come back as promised?

Xing Jianyao looked at the schoolbag in his hand in a daze, and at the missing and changed shoes under his feet, and suddenly felt that nothing mattered.

"Ahe, what do you want for dinner?" She walked to the entrance, and while changing her shoes, she asked the people not far away in an extremely calm tone.

Tsurumaru, who was full of thoughts on how to comfort her, was not relieved by this question for a long time, "Huh? Me, I can do anything, can Xiaoyao cook?"

After calming down, he hurried forward to take the schoolbag from the girl.

"Well, I'm going out to buy ingredients now, does Ah He want to come with me?"

"want!"

The two had dinner together, and went back to their rooms to wash up.

When I came out of the bathroom, the sky outside was so dark that it seemed to be covered with a dark curtain. I couldn't see anything, no stars, and no moon.

Take an umbrella when you go to school tomorrow.

Xing Jianyao walked to the French window and squatted down. Through the light of his room, he saw the opposite house that could only be seen as a vague outline in the dark night.

There is her home.

It seems that it has been repaired two days ago, and nothing has been heard in the past two days.

Come back as early as today after school tomorrow.

In this way, the time to move will be more.

It's time for her to go home too.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

For those of you who may not have seen it:

On April 19st, Jun Xun, the current physical age stays at [-] years old, from "xxxHOLiC", it is one of my personal favorite manga and anime (it seems a bit revealing age)

In the original book, Siyi is acting as an agent to run Ms. Yuko's shop. It is a shop that can fulfill any wish as long as you pay the price. The timeline is decades after Yuko left. It should not be able to leave the shop. In the comics, it is the great-grandson of Domeki. When I was told that I could leave the store, it was a hundred years later.

***

I've been a little uncomfortable these two days, and the code word status is not very good. Please take a leave of absence and rest, and I will hang up the leave note tomorrow.

love you guys~
