Chapter 66: Bookseller

The next day, Takumi brought three songs to school.

"Can you play all three?" asked Shiori with the score. Takumi nodded: "Yes."

"If you can touch all three, give them all to me. We'll practice them together and see which one you sing next week." Shiori took the score without hesitation. Although he didn't know how to compose music, he learned to read it when he was in elementary school.

Thursday, November 20.

Kenji, a resident of 3 Sakuragaoka Street, owns a small bookstore. It was just after six o'clock and the sky was dark. He watched the situation carefully outside the store and opened the shutter when he found nothing unusual.

"Boss, why do you seem so scared?" smiled the first customer who entered.

Kenji knew at first glance that he was an acquaintance. It was a customer who worked the night shift and returned home at six in the morning. From time to time I went to the bookstore to buy books.

"You know? Lately there are a lot of sellers of Weekly Shōnen magazines." Kenji complained, "Those sellers force us to sell them the magazine. Yesterday I came across one, and there were no magazines to sell to customers during the day."

The man walked up to the counter with a copy of the magazine and smiled, "The Weekly Shōnen is popular, we can't do anything. Today it goes on sale, I think there should be no problem."

"Who knows if you have Mirai-sensei serials?"

Kenji took the machine to scan the magazine's barcode: "Two hundred and fifty yen."

The Weekly Shōjo Manga is thinner than the Weekly Shōnen and the price is lower. However, in reality, the price of magazines is very low. The thickness of single-volume books purchased at the same price is only half. The main reason is that the quality of paper and images in single-volume books are better.

After selling a magazine, there were no customers in the bookstore. Sakuragaoka 3rd Road is not a central area. Also, the weather is cooling, so there will be more customers at seven.

Kenji leaned against the counter and squinted to rest.

"Hello."

Suddenly, a muffled voice, like thunder, rang out. Kenji looked up and instantly lost sleep.

"Twenty copies of Weekly Shōjo Manga, I want them all."

A man in a mask tied a wad of Weekly Shōjo Manga with string and put some thousand-yen bills on the counter: "You should be able to sell them!"

He looked at Kenji with fierce eyes.

"Yes, yes...". Kenji was shy and did not dare to disobey, but he cursed in his heart: 'Why are these booksellers here again?'

After selling the books and watching them leave, Kenji took the money from the table: "Forget it..."

In short, everything is for sale. Aside from the grief for the other customers, Kenji suffered no financial losses. Less than a hundred meters from Sakuragaoka 3rd Street is Sakura High School. The bookseller arrived with Weekly Shōjo Manga, looked around, and saw no one, so he turned around and went into the alley.

Half an hour later, children on their way to school appeared one after another.

"Hey, some classmates... do you want to come? I'm selling Weekly Shōjo Manga here."

The vendor avoided the sight of the security guards and specifically selected groups of children to call them. The seller's name is Akira. In fact, he is also an entrepreneur. Lately, he has been reselling manga magazines.

"Weekly Shōjo Manga?" he asked. "A lot of people in the class read it. It is the one published  by Inuyasha in series."

Many students knew about the magazine and followed Akira into the alley.

"How much does it cost?" he asked.

"Three hundred and sixty yen, very cheap, you can buy it together," Akira said with a smile. The students at this school are all relatively wealthy young people, but at the end of the day, they are young, and a single person might not be willing to spend that much money to buy a magazine.

"Shall we buy it together?"

"Okay, only one hundred and twenty yen each."

The students paid for a copy bluntly. They went with Weekly Shōjo Manga. Akira quickly added, "I come here every Wednesday and Thursday, and I'll also sell Weekly Shōnen. Welcome next time."

"Will there be Weekly Shōnen too?"

"Great, then we'll buy it next week."

Akira watched the students leave with a smile, thinking that there would be no pressure to sell today'  s Weekly Shōjo Manga. Sure enough, before seven, except for one for himself, Akira's other magazines had sold out, and he was very satisfied.

Thus began the day, and the net income exceeded two thousand yen.

Akira packed his backpack, headed to a busy pedestrian street, and after breakfast, he walked into an alley and started asking for customers.

"Hey, little brother, do you want to buy a record? I have box office classics and discontinued collections..."

"Superhits?"

"Yes, Japanese action blockbusters. You can tell at a glance that you know what's good. You should know."

"Hey, it's not appropriate that early. Let's go aside... How much?"

"It's not expensive, one hundred and twenty yen a record, twenty-two records."

"Then let me choose."

Akira's job is to sell records. In recent years, with the strengthening of law enforcement by the departments of urban administration and culture, this business has become increasingly difficult. But he is also a fan of Mirai-sensei. A while ago, he suddenly came across someone selling Weekly Shōnen, so the cunning Akira also worked as a bookseller.

After selling records for two hours, the figure of the urban administration appeared on the pedestrian street, and Akira skillfully dodged it. He knew that these urban managers would be gone in less than half an hour, and there was nothing to do during that period, so Akira pulled out Weekly Shōnen to read.

This time, Inuyasha has more pages than before, more than 30.

'Is there an important plot?'

Akira couldn't help but get emotional. The plot of Inuyasha develops gradually and is already very interesting, but he is still a little disappointed. The vision of the world and the setting of this manga are very well drawn. The story in general is a waste of these illustrations. He expected a plot twist with "audacity" and "impact."

Akira has a vague feeling that this issue of Weekly Shōjo Manga will have a major twist.

The beginning of this story is different from the previous ones. He no longer narrates the events of the trip. Instead, a ghost woman rushed to the village where Inuyasha's journey began and dug up the tomb of Kikyo, the shrine maiden who died fifty years ago.

Seeing this, Akira became even more excited. Kikyo is the shrine maiden who appeared at the beginning of Inuyasha. The bow and arrow he shot sealed the half-demon Inuyasha, leading to the story fifty years later.

This shrine maiden has always aroused the curiosity of many readers. Mirai-sensei rarely reveals his information, so until now readers don't understand what happened fifty years ago. It stands to reason that Kikyo and Inuyasha are mortal enemies, but in some subtle scenes of the story, sensitive people may find that Inuyasha's attitude towards Kikyo's memories is very different.

'Do they both have a story?' That ghost woman took Kikyo's body and earth from the grave... 'What will he do?'

This issue of Weekly Shōjo Manga will soon reveal the answer.
