Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 191
In the afternoon of the next day, Naruse came to the Morimi Kohonen shop after eating, and took care of the shop for Mori Mi.

Naoko and Takikawa Hikaru also came with him.

He helps look after the store, Sen Jian is in charge of tutoring the two, and Hai Xing has a few drinks to deliver in the afternoon, so he will come later.

"Call me anytime if you have any problems...although there will be basically no problems."

"Ah."

Naruse sat down at the counter, and Morimi looked at him again before going back inside.

After sitting for a while, Naruse felt the business atmosphere that he couldn't feel at all, and Naruse quickly lost the novelty, got up and turned around among the bookshelves.

As a reward for helping to look after the store, Morimi promised that he could look at the second-hand books on the bookshelf at will.

After turning around for a while, he casually picked up an adventure novel and flipped through it.

"It seems to be okay..."

After flipping through a few pages, he returned to the counter, and just as he was about to sit down, a figure appeared at the door of the bookstore.

Ah, here are the guests.

Subconsciously, he was going to call Sen Jian out, but then he remembered that he was the "acting shop owner" now, and sat down slowly again.

The young guest had a slightly familiar face, he should be someone who lived nearby, but Naruse couldn't name him.

Should be a college student...

And he wandered among the bookshelves, looking towards the counter frequently, as if he cared about his gaze.

suspicious...

It's not here to steal books, is it?
Naruse stared for a while, and when he looked at the other party again, he suddenly realized: he was staring too closely.

"..."

He looked away and silently apologized in his heart.

He also didn't want to be stared at by the shopkeeper when he was picking out books—not even the young and beautiful shopkeeper's daughter, which meant she must have something troublesome for him.

Occasionally looking up to confirm that the customer was still picking out books, Naruse stopped meddling and used his favorite book-buying atmosphere as a template to give the other party the greatest freedom.

No longer being stared at, the young guest who seemed to be a college student really felt much more at ease.

After a while, he came over with a book to pay the bill.

drop--

After scanning the code, the price will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Naruse coughed lightly, "Four hundred yen."

A college student hands over a five hundred yen coin.

Opening the drawer, I found a hundred-yuan coin for him. The college student took the book and gave the change and left. Naruse's first business after "taking over" was successfully completed.

Running a bookstore seems quite easy, he thought, if the only thing to be responsible is to sit and collect money.

Of course, there are still many things to be busy with.

Looking at the stack of unreleased new books piled up next to him, Naruse stared blankly for a while.

After a while, two elementary school students came to the store.

There is a bookshelf in the Morimi Kohon store that is dedicated to displaying comics, and unlike other second-hand books in the store, these comics provide a pioneering rental service, and one book only costs [-] yen.

Naruse pointed out that this move was aimed at the poor wallets of nearby elementary and middle school students, but Mori saw it with a sneer.

The two elementary school students crowded in front of the comic book shelf, chatted for a while, and then each brought a comic over.

The two children were no taller than the counter, so Naruse had to stand up and look at them.

After taking the manga, he glanced at the label on the back cover and the delicate font written on the label, and said:

"The deposit for each comic is 1000 yen, and the rent is [-] yen, a total of [-] and [-] yen."

The two of them each took out their pockets and scraped together a bunch of coins for him, ranging from ten yen to fifty yen.

After finally counting the coins and confirming that they were correct, he looked at the names of the two comic books, looked for them on a certain form in the counter, and filled in the incomplete "positive".

This is the table Morimi uses to count which manga are more popular.

"All right."

After receiving the manga, the two primary school students smiled at each other and left happily.

Putting the large handful of coins into the drawer, Naruse stretched, got up and turned around.

At the door, starfish in an apron and black-rimmed glasses just happened to push the car over.

"..."

Seeing him, she subconsciously quickened her pace, then slowed down, and stopped at the door of the bookstore.

"Do you want to deliver wine?"

"Ah."

She looked inside, "Are you looking at the store?"

"Ah."

She nodded, "I'll come over as soon as I deliver the order...in about 10 minutes."

"Yeah." Naruse looked at her, "Take your time, be careful on the road."

Starfish had a sore nose for no reason, and quickly held back.

"Well... I'm leaving."

Watching her pushing the cart away, Naruse looked up at the sky, inhaled and exhaled silently, turned and went in.

After about half an hour, Haixing came back after changing clothes and putting on contact lenses.

The few people inside also took a break temporarily, and Mori came out to ask about the situation in Naruse's shop.

"Sold two second-hand books, one new book, and rented out two comics."

"Really? Business is pretty good this afternoon."

"Because it's the weekend."

"maybe."

Naruse looked at her, "How about it, do you need me to go in and help you?"

Senjian thought for a while, "Let the light come out, you are here to tutor her...or let the starfish come out?"

"...Let the light come."

After a short break, the girls inside continued to study. Hikari Takikawa came outside and sat at the counter with Naruse.

"Yiye is so strict."

"She is a senior who doesn't want to be light."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "My grades are not enough to repeat a grade."

Naruse turned to look at her: "It's hard to say what your current state is."

She fell silent.

After a while, she said:

"Chunhai, what should I do after Yue goes to college?"

"You will soon get used to life without Sister Yue."

She looked over, "Why did you just start from the habit of not having a month?"

Naruse looked outside, "I don't have a sister, how would I know what to do."

She thought for a while, "What if Shangzi wants to leave?"

"Shangzi will not leave."

"I said what if."

"There must be a reason."

"Hmm... What if Shangzi's parents want her to live with the research institute?"

"There is no such situation, it is not established."

"That means Shangzi didn't get into Tianjin University, so he wants to go to other places to go to university?"

Naruse glanced at her, "Shangzi is now No. 20 in grade one, more than enough to get into Tianjin University."

Seeing that she still wanted to find other hypotheses, Naruse said: "After returning from Tokyo, there is no reason for Shangzi and I to separate. Even if there is, she and I will overcome it."

Hikaru Takikawa couldn't hear his emphasis and determination, so he thought about it again.

"What about Ms. Song?"

"Isn't that the current state?"

She looked at him, "Will Chunhai feel uneasy when Miss Song leaves?"

"I'd be upset."

"Don't you know what to do?"

"Will be at a loss."

"But Chunhai still has Shangzi."

Naruse also looked at her.

"The light also has us."

Looking into his eyes, she slowly smiled.

"Ok."

　The leader of the book friend [Don't worry, I'll figure out a way] adds more.

　　Also: recommend a book.
