Chapter 43: He is Amaterasu (4)(1/2)
There was a "ding bell".
The bronze bell on the store door rang.
"I'm disturbed!"
Aso Ma, behind the counter in the store, looked up and saw a man with dark brown hair walking in.
He put away his umbrella, hung it on the shelf at the door, turned to smile at Shin-smiling, and then wandered around the store.
This is a toy store with various figures, toys and comics placed in it.
Aso Ma is 17 years old this year and just graduated from high school. After graduation, she did not take the college entrance exam, but instead found a job as a toy shop clerk.
The main reason is that she has no money to go to college, and she no longer cares about her parents after divorce. She and grandma depend on each other for their own life. Grandma's meager pension is their main source of income in daily life.
However, the girl did not give up her dream of going to college.
She hasn't been in a relationship yet, and always fantasizes about a tall and handsome boyfriend waiting for her in college!
So I am really determined to work hard and save money to go to college!
Unfortunately, with her high school education, she can only find jobs like clerks that have no technical content, and the recent job market is in a downturn.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little sad.
She lay on the counter, wondering if her prince charming would wait in college for too long to walk to other princesses?
When she was free, she did some calculations and wanted to work in a toy store to save enough money to go to college...
I really wrinkled my nose and buried my face in my arms, forcing myself not to think about the distant number.
"Really, how much does this figure cost? Also do you have Ultraman Tiga here for CD?"
The guest's voice made Zhen stand up immediately, as if facing a great enemy.
Even a job in a toy store was something she finally found. She didn't want to lose the job because she was complained by a customer.
"Hello! This is the words..." Zhen was stunned for a moment, and covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Please... do you know me?"
This guest had just called out his name, which is called only those who are more intimate friends.
But I obviously don't know him!
Are you a classmate from the junior high school department in the past?
But I can't recognize it...
The young man blinked, put Chaobina's figure on the table, spread his hands and said, "I accidentally exposed it, okay, actually I am an Onmyoji, and I can do whatever I want."
His eyes really gathered on the figure on the table, and he smiled with a pursed lips: "Does Mr. Onmyoji also like Asahina's figures?"
Mr. Onmyoji said with a serious look: "Of course I like it! Asahina is the best! Look, I bought two more, one of which I brought to my junior sister. All of us like Asahina!"
After saying that, he also raised his thumbs up with both hands, his face full of pride, and he didn't know what he was pride.
Asahina is a beautiful girl with big breasts in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", the exclusive maid and mascot of the Sos Group, y.
For example, maid, rabbit girl, frog...
Aso couldn't help it, and looked at the figures on the table again and found that one was dressed as a bunny girl and the other was dressed as a maid.
She shrank her neck and asked in a low voice: "Is there really an Onmyoji?"
I have really depended on my grandmother for life since I was a child, and I am most afraid of those things that are so terrible.
Mr. Onmyoji seemed to see her fear, and I don’t know whether he was comforting her or sighing with self-pity:
"There are definitely some, but we are almost unemployed. Alas, the industry is in a downturn, and modern people don't believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods. At present, I can only make a living by divination."
I really muttered to myself that I could only make a living, why do I have to spend money to buy figures?
And isn’t divination a scam?
When she was in school, she often saw her companions gathered together, discussing astrology tirelessly. She really learned about it curiously, but unfortunately...
Complete! No! Used!
She wasted half a month of her pocket money!
I feel a little angry when I think about this.
"Do I want to divine Shinya once?" Mr. Onmyoji suddenly suggested.
I was really stunned for a moment, shook my head and said softly, "No need, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."
Mr. Onmyoji said seriously: "Don't you want it for free? The opportunity is rare. I also see that you and I have a close relationship."
He really bit his lips and felt a little hesitant.
"It seems that I really don't trust me very much." Mr. Onmyoji pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision, "Let me do this, I will calculate the current family situation first. If I say it correctly, what if I really want me to take a fortune for you?"
The girl stood there stupidly.
How do you feel... Mr. Onmyoji seems to have tried to divine himself in a different way? Is it an illusion?
But before she could reply, Mr. Onmyoji had already taken out a copper coin from his pocket, with a serious expression, closed his eyes, and muttering words that he really couldn't understand.
My heart was pounding and I looked nervously at the copper coins in the man's hand.
Is this the "mantra" mastered by Onmyoji?
Is that copper coin a magic weapon?
It seems very awesome!
The man suddenly opened his eyes.
A gold color flashed through his pupils!
He really subconsciously covered his mouth and blocked the screams in time.
She just... saw a golden light flashing in Mr. Onmyoji's eyes!
The other party really didn't lie to him! He really mastered the mysterious power and was a real Onmyoji!
Mr. Onmyoji breathed a long sigh, as if the martial arts master had finished his skills.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and played with the copper coin in his hand, saying confidently:
"It's done! Aso Ma, 17 years old, just graduated from high school. After your parents divorced, you and your grandmother depended on each other. Now you are working hard to save money to go to college. I'm right?"
True nodding hard, the trust that had reached 80% of the time was now directly overflowing.
Mr. Onmyoji smiled and said, "Then, do you really want me to divine you once now?"
I continued to nod my head vigorously, and my hands were still covering my mouth, feeling that my neck was almost broken by myself.
Mr. Onmyoji coughed lightly and said, "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. Do you have the CD of Ultraman Tiga Episode 21? Get one for me."
Really confused, "Ultraman Tiga?"
Mr. Onmyoji clenched his fist and said, "We are walking together! When I have nothing to do, I like to see the glorious deeds of my peers to encourage myself!"
I realized it suddenly.
She was not interested in Ultraman or something, but when she was in elementary and junior high school, she could always hear boys in the same class shouting, "Believe in the light."
With the power of light, it is probably similar to the power of Onmyoji to eliminate demons and ghosts... right?
"Please wait! I'll help you find it. Did you specify that you want twenty-one episodes?"
Zhen walked out from behind the counter and went to the CD-ROM area to search.
"Well, yes, I'm going to give it to someone, it's really a problem."
"It's okay, serving customers is my job! And I'll have to trouble me to help me divinate later!" Zhen's tone was thrilling, full of motivation.
"Finished! Do you want me to pack it for you?"
"Of course, please help me pack these two figures," the man smiled.
"Okay, please wait!"
I was really busy, packed two Akibena figures and CDs separately, placed them on the counter, and said with a sweet smile:
"A total of 15,000 yen, patronized!"
The man took out money from his pants pocket and paid the bill.
He temporarily pushed the packed gift box aside and asked with a smile: "So what aspect do you really want to take?"
I was really hesitant, my hands were tugged together, and I was very confused.
She wanted to ask about her studies and love, but Mr. Onmyoji has generously taught herself for free once, and she can't get more and more flaws...
"Just...love?" Zhen blushed and said in a low voice.
Although academic studies are also very important, the true nature of dependent on grandma since childhood is to rely on her grandmother even more eager for a sincere relationship.
"Love..." the man said softly, his eyes indescribably dark and deep.
He closed his eyes again, and used the same operation as before, muttering words that he really couldn't understand. Finally, he threw the copper coin, folded his hands together, and looked solemn.
Looking at Mr. Onmyoji with great anticipation and nervousness.
To be continued...
