It's all one flower.

2203.Bookstore congestion

It's really crowded, as you saw earlier.

The young mother was impressed.

The elementary school son grabbed his mother's wrist and gazed tirelessly at the spell marks drawn on his palm by the wizard Luber with a ballpoint pen.

The kindergartener's daughter withdrew her hand from her mother's.

Ehhhhhhhhhh!

"Today, there's only one book."

"I love it when you come to me"

"Yes, I'll buy you a study book and a map of the exterminator first, just a moment."

Well then, just a moment ago, ehonmiii?

"I'm going to get lost, so stay with your mother."

Rubel listened with his mother and child on his back and questioned the clerk who was selling the goods.

I want a residential map, do you have it in stock?

"The map is out in the store, and it's all there."

While arranging a set of questions for the junior high school exam on the shelf, I looked into the back of the store. When I followed the clerk's gaze, I saw a "map" sign hanging from the ceiling.

The shelf on the map is Skaska. It seems that the demand has increased because the internet is no longer available.

The Rubels have been downloading in the Realm of Lacrimalis, but they have come to buy a recent residential map for the General Command.

... I see. You didn't print much because you saw it on the Internet.

Even in the library, the map shelf was empty.

Even in this bookstore, road maps and learning cartoons are just on the shelves, waiting to arrive. Only three residential maps, "Capital Coast", "Salix City" and "Souks City", are left.

The entire capital, Rufus, and the city of Souks were ordered to procure it. We'll have to look for other bookstores for the shortfall. I couldn't dare, so I took two books and went to the cashier.

Some shelves are tightly packed with customers, while others are empty. Learning-related books and drawings, qualifications and practical books are crowded with people, and the literary shelves are poor in number.

Pillar posters saw the publication of books about internal jobs, job changes, and emigration.

The mother and child were on the shelf of the picture book with all three of them.

"Today, there's only one book."

Both of them.

"Put one in a book." I'll buy it next month when I get my paycheck. "

"Even though I'll tease you on a big day?"

A young daughter sits down in the aisle holding several picture books and looks up at her mother with her cheeks inflated.

"Big niisan, you've done an important job, so the map book is your salary"

I'll do it every time, ehhhhh

The girl has no sign of letting go of the picture book. It was wrapped in transparent film, and even if the girl cried, she didn't seem to worry that the book would get dirty, but her mother was sighing with a troubled face.

Elementary school brother notices Luvel and pokes his mother's elbow.

"Ah... I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'll pay you for that first... here, stand up."

"Stand up, stand up! I'll leave you alone."

My brother forced me to stand with my wings strangled, and my sister reluctantly walked out. Unhappy faces are about to cry.

There was no way to sneak around the other house, and the Luber nodded silently.

In the vicinity of the cashier, several clerks organize transportation for customers holding learning books in both hands.

"Family members!" I'll ask the representative to do all the checking! "

We'll wait for you in the queue.

"Checkout, here's the last one!"

The guides hold a sign above their heads that says "queue" and "tail" on the cardboard. They shake it left and right.

Well, wait over there with your big brother.

Mother receives maps, reference books, and picture books. The girl may have given her three books, but her mother said nothing.

"I'll wait over there because I'll get in the way."

Brother pulls his sister's hand toward the clerk holding the “queue” sign. Rubel confessed to his mother and followed the children.

Shopping is also risky, and many people buy in bulk.

Even if there are three clerks in the cash register, the line will grow. The queue is getting longer and longer, and the clerk will organize the queue so that customers overflowing from the store do not block the shopping mall passage.

Nearby food courts and open cafes fill all the seats. Many customers turn their chairs toward the bookstore because they wait for their families to pay.

The mother asks the clerk who collects the accounts.

Today, I'd like to buy one of these books and keep two of them.

"I will keep half of the fixed price in advance, but are you sure?"

“Yes, I will be here by this time next month, but how long will you be able to leave it?”

"It's a maximum of two months. Please tell me that again at the cashier."

As the line progressed and her mother became invisible, the elementary school boy heard.

"Oniisan, from Lanterna Island?"

"I'm from Makodes."

"Huh? Foreigner? I had no idea."

Makodes speaks Hunanese, too.

Where are you sucking at?

It's the eastern neighborhood of the Republic of Lannister.

Makodes is a bird pendant in fashion?

When the boy looked up at Luvel's chest and heard it, the customers around him turned to look at him.

"It's not an accessory, it's an ID."

Mien shoo, huh?

“I want to teach everyone what kind of expert they are.”

Exterminator, beekeeper?

The boy tilts his neck with a subtle face, and the surrounding adults listen.

Rubell replied with a slightly louder voice.

"I'm a magician of the [Flying Horn Hawk] school, and I'm an expert at finding demons, monsters, and beasts in hidden places like before, and protecting them by building magic walls in empty places."

Huh? Don't you want to fight the Demon Beast?

I usually find the demon beast and my partner defeats it, but I can also use attack magic, so I can fight a little bit.

The tension in the queue suddenly eased, but the boy looked around anxiously.

Where's your partner?

"I'm here today on business."

Isn't that the seminary student?

A young woman who waits next to her guides the woman with her eyes on her. Luvel and his young siblings were also caught in the crossfire.

The white uniform that walks down the aisle looks familiar.

It belonged to the Rufus Seminary, which I saw on Spotted Enemy immediately after the bombing of the chapel.

"It's unusual during the day on weekdays."

That's a pure white priest class, right?

"Practicing missionary work?"

Didn't the demonic beast come home from the seminary?

"The newspaper said they were studying in churches all over the place."

A whisper leaked from all over the queue.

Luvel looked familiar on the faces of the seminary students.

Dark green eyes with wet, feathery hair. A boy who came down to Chernocnyjnik looking for a cousin who grew up with his sister.

Rubel's heart beat ominously.
