Looking at the place where Wu Geng made an appointment with him on his mobile phone, Oda felt there was a coincidence, because the bookstore recommended by Wu Geng happened to be the bookstore Suzuki and he visited last time. Although he had a deep impression of this bookstore in his heart,
However, due to various reasons, I didn't come to this store very often in the future, but I would come at least two or three times a month. However, due to the busy work of the 11th Order, Oda probably didn't come to this store for a month or two.
In addition to the collection of books that suited his own taste, Oda was also deeply impressed by the bearded store manager who looked both boyish and mature.
In fact, Oda also chatted with the store manager for a while while he was looking for a book to read. His conversation and appearance left an impression on Oda that he was very knowledgeable and experienced. And in fact, if he sat relatively close to the store manager, it would be
You can see the rather delicate face hidden under his messy hair and stubble.
Oda once jokingly asked the store manager his age. As a result, this question, which Oda thought would definitely be rejected, got an affirmative answer of "26 years old." There is a saying that someone so young can open a bookstore by himself.
Moreover, from the decoration of the store and the types of books on the shelves, it can be seen that the store manager is not short of money and has unique taste. Oda even made up a story about "the eldest son of a big family who did not want to inherit the family inheritance and brought a fortune"
The plot of "Qian ran away secretly and opened a bookstore incognito".
"Excuse me." Oda came to the door of the store with ease, pushed open the dark green curtain and walked in. He originally wanted to say hello to the store manager out of habit, but to Oda's surprise, the person who responded to him was
Girls' voices.
Oda looked up and found that standing in the middle of the bookshelf was a girl about the same height as him. She was wearing the dark green apron that the store manager usually wore. She was stepping on a ladder to place a box of books on an empty bookshelf.
the topmost layer of .
"Wait a moment." The girl put the book in her hand on the bookshelf, then got off the ladder and walked towards Oda: "Guest, are you..." However, in
After getting closer, she covered her mouth with an expression of disbelief, "No...Nobu-chan?"
Because the girl was closer, Oda could also see her front face. Although it didn't feel like she had done much makeup, she could tell from her facial features that she was an extremely beautiful woman. From the words the girl called him and her reaction,
, Oda could also tell that the other party was his fan, so Oda put his hand on the edge of his mouth and made a shushing gesture. The other party also saw it immediately, nodded and closed his mouth, but his eyes
There was still a hint of excitement in it.
As if hearing the sound in the store, a very hidden hidden door in the far corner of the store opened, and the store manager walked out from inside.
"Store manager-san?" Oda stretched out his hand and said hello, "You haven't been here for a month or two. Why do you have such a beautiful assistant?"
"After all, I'm older, and some jobs still need young and strong people to do it." The store manager smiled and joked with Oda, "It just so happened that the elders in her family also knew me, and she also wanted to give it a try.
I have a part-time job, so I asked her to help."
"If you, store manager, are older, then I can be considered a middle-aged woman." Oda stuck out his tongue, "A 26-year-old senior citizen."
"Eh, 26 years old?" Now it was the clerk's turn to be surprised. It seemed that her previous impression of the store manager was the same as Oda's first impression, that he was a mature and steady middle-aged man.
"Didn't I tell you?" After knowing that his age was revealed by Oda, the store manager was not very angry. Instead, he looked at the clerk girl calmly, "I am indeed 26 years old... No, it should be
He said he just celebrated his 27th birthday."
"Then the store manager, you and my father are..." Hearing the girl's choice of words, Oda guessed that the girl in front of him was probably a young lady from a wealthy family who came to experience life.
"We just have business contacts." The store manager waved his hand, "Miss Oda is a frequent customer of our store, and she will probably come here often in the future, so I will leave the reception to you, Sugai-san."
"Yes." The girl named Sugai nodded, and the store manager turned around and returned to his small room.
"So...Oda-san, is there any book you want to read?" Sugai asked Oda nervously.
"Don't be so nervous." Oda smiled, "I'm not an idol now, I'm just an ordinary high school student."
"Hi." Sugai nodded, took a deep breath to relax a little, and wanted to talk to Oda again, but found that Oda had already walked around him and bent down to read the box of books that he had not finished placing.
""The Crowd", I didn't expect the store manager Sang to recommend this type of book." Oda picked up a book and read it, because she had discussed some ideas and experiences about reading with the store manager before, and the store manager gave
Most of the books he recommended or the books the two of them talked about were of the literary genre, so Oda was a little surprised that a book about psychology appeared here. However, thinking of the store manager's profound knowledge, Oda was instantly able to read it.
Got it.
"No...the store manager-san asked me to put these books on the top shelf." Sugai interrupted Oda's soliloquy with some embarrassment.
"Just because it's not easily accessible, does that mean it's not recommended?" Oda smiled. Only the manager of this bookstore could do such a unique thing.
"Um, are Oda-san interested in this book?" Sugai asked, pointing to the book in Oda's hand, "If you want to read it, just take it and read it."
"Yes." Oda nodded. Oda had only heard of this book, Daimyo, but had not read it seriously. Now it is quite good as a reading before the fifth update, so Oda thanked Sugai and then
I walked towards the reading area located in the corner.
And after Oda had been reading for about half an hour, a voice from the door interrupted Oda's concentration: "Youka!"
"Xiao Xiao!" Sugai's somewhat surprised voice came at the same time, but what immediately followed were boos and whispers that were not quite genuine.
After hearing the whisper, the person who came through the door glanced in the direction of Oda, then turned to Sugai and said something that surprised her, and then walked in the direction of Oda.
"Why are you here so early, Xiaoshi?"
"It's okay. If you're in a bookstore, it would be nice to come over and read some books in advance."
"Wait a minute...do you two know each other?" Sugai looked at the two people chatting smoothly, his mouth wide open with a shocked expression.
