Play with Mad Scientists!

An old-fashioned pastry shop built right next to the candoville. Its name is Tamamura, a candy store.

There are even benches in the store where you can sit down and eat and drink here.

"Hey, how long have you been working on that?"

Tamamura Ring, the owner of the store, speaks to those sitting in the chair in a voice mixed with anger and giving up.

I was sitting in a chair with a high school student and a threesome. One of them sticks his head out with a leash and puts in a sore, and one of them is dyed into blonde hair, turned into a Mohican, tattooed on his temples and put on a shoulder pad. But one of the centers, kid, is just keeping it in his head.

Even high schools with more than a hundred in Euthanasia City are students of poor fingerfolding schools and crossbow emperor high schools.

"When you guys are there forever, regular customers don't come by. It's an obstruction to sales, so if you eat sweets, go home. I mean, what happened to school?"

"Uh, just a little bit more."

"At any rate, I'm a guest at this hour. When the guests arrive, they leave."

"That's bullshit. I was in the mood for you today."

Repeated dozens of times already, rings and interactions with bad students. Ring has been familiar with them since their junior year.

"I want to fuck you. I know what it is, Persimmon."

"The mood can only be called mood"

Called persimmon, kid retarded answers. I can tell you're pretty tall even when you're sitting. Besides, my physique (Gatai) is good. Size enough to call a giant man.

"The persimmons have been here for three years, and we need to think about the future."

"I'm probably... because it's decided. You can't even let me do what I want, and I'm forced to inherit the family business."

In the light mouth of the ring, the boy head persimmon becomes a sinking expression.

"Oh well...... So, why don't I go over to the Tajima family and persuade them?

"Fine... seriously, don't do this"

Persimmons wolf at the ring offered with a smile. This old candy store owner could really do it. Besides, Persimmon knows the face behind the ring.

Kamochanko and Kamoyaro Tajima's house is a clan that serves an escort organization named Silver Storm Hall for generations. Kamahachiro is revolting about being forced to decide on his life, but he doesn't actually have enough strength to push himself through. In the end, I feel like I'm going to be made to add to the Silver Storm Hall.

"I rebelled quite a bit when my parents told me to take over the trail of this store, too. It was over thirty years ago, though. Even when I was a killer, I had fat on it, but there were a lot of things I thought about, and I ended up inheriting it."

A ring that sounds nostalgic.

"That sounds interesting."

and there appeared an old man about the same age as the ring. He wears sunglasses and is in a suit, with a gentle grin on his mouth, but releasing an aura full of majesty.

(This old man...... you can do quite a bit. It's not just)

Kamahachiro, who has been indulging in martial arts since the time of his temper, found out at a glance.

"Ah, persimmons. What happened to school?

From behind the old man, a girl in white appeared, familiar to Kamahachiro and the others since they were little. Needless to say, I am Junko Yukioka, a Mad Scientist.

"I'm skipping. Please don't ask me. I'm skipping, so guess I'm here."

One of the defects answers with a bitter smile.

"Oh, slaughter. Junko. There you are. Go in the back. You have to leave now."

Ring smiled and the old man - Inspector General Kiyoshi Hojo - welcomed Junko into the house behind the store. Tell Kamahachiro and the others in a slightly tight tone.

It looks like a candy store, and the back of the store is at home. It is a japanese room with tatami, handicap, torn and repaired pieces, old wooden columns, even more ancient tablecloths, and a Buddha's altar.

"I can't believe you two are here."

"When I came here, I just happened to meet Junko."

"Yeah, I'm going to Ring's shop, so I'm not talking about going with you."

Ring and Hojo also knew Junko since childhood.

"We were talking about taking over the trail, but did you decide to take over here?

"I'm still going to do my best on active duty. Though... there's no one to follow here. We didn't get married, we didn't have kids."

Ring to answer Hojo's question while brewing tea.

"Honestly, in my place, I'm thinking about getting a tatami. I... now is the time to like this store, but when my parents told me to take over, that's what I already rebelled against. I don't know if they're going to find a successor from somewhere just because they want a store that doesn't have a prospective successor."

The ring carries the tea sweets to his mouth as he talks, and soakes the tea.

"Are we talking about something heavy?

"This shop... Mr. Ring, stop."

Soon a bad threesome comes to the boundaries between the store and the house, listening.

"Well... that's a shame"

"Hmm... I don't know if it's the right direction to let it survive."

Hojo and Junko said respectively.

"It's a candoville next door. Actually, the name Candoville was given later, and you know it wasn't that name when it was built?

Ring and Hojo shook their heads sideways to talk about Junko, who seemed to have no context.

"It was a sprinkling name called Laurier. All the citizens around here kept calling me Candoville or something, and I changed my name to that. Laurier's tagline when he built it was a substitute for 'inspiring all citizens,' and that's where it came from. But this name Candoville never meant anything good. It's full of sarcasm and irony."

That's all I said, Junko makes tea.

"The place where the candoville was originally built was full of mess and small shops on the narrow road that got in. I couldn't say it was a beautiful city, but there were all kinds of shops, and it was lively. But with the urban redevelopment plan, we talked about building a huge department store in front of the station, and all the old shops that were there were forced out. Among them was this pastry shop, Tamamura. The delicious small restaurants that had been run by couples for over forty years, the precious specialty pet shops for aquatic life, the dubious shops that were full of Southeast Asian women in and out, the established toy shops that were full of old-fashioned toys for over a hundred years, and the small but occasional old bookstores that had excavations.

The first floor is the bookstore, the second floor is the stationery store, and the building is completely gone. "

Junko remembers and speaks to nostalgia about the state of the past. Ring and Hojo guess that the sights of the old city still exist in memory in Junko.

"How long ago was Candoville built?

The ring asks. By the time the ring was born, the candy store was in this position, and the cando building was built.

"I guess it's only about the first half of this century. Sure... I think it was about 2016 or 2017. At a time when a large-scale merger of western Tokyo municipalities had not yet taken place and there was no name for Euthanasia City."

and Junko. Around ten years before I was born, I think Ring and Hojo of the same age.

"The city is a constantly changing thing, so maybe we shouldn't be nostalgic. But there were also people who cared about the space, people who liked it, and people who were used to it as a place to relax. From those people, this change was not wanted. Some of the original stores were allowed to open stores in department stores, but no H stores or pet stores specializing in aquatic life were given permission to do so, and some stores were closed for reasons of departure."

Take another breath here and make some tea.

"In front of people who don't want a rapid change in the city they're used to, there's a lot of shivers in the phrase 'impress all citizens'. From there, I got the hatred of being a candoville. It's settled, and it's officially been given that name."

"Hmm, did you have that origin"

Hojo roars.

On the other hand, Ring had heard of it from her mother. Candoville said how long the department store part was only on the ground floor and that it was directly connected to the downtown shopping mall because the department store was full of chain stores and the variety and range of stores were not well received and could not be accepted by the people of the time.

The bedding streets made behind the candoville were also said to be the product of an exercise that initially sought to reclaim the good old streets. Although the result has been a resting place for residents in the back streets.

"The candy store Tamamura also refused to go inside the cando building, and built a shop next door, though. They said it would be gone at the time. I've been used to a lot of people since I was a kid, and a lot of people donated to survive, and thanks to that, I was able to relocate my shop here."

Look at the ring, Junko says.

The ring is annoying. It was my first ear story, but I was wondering if there was a reason around it for my mother to inherit herself quite forcefully.

"I don't think I can help folding the store. To survive, is that why it's tradition, it's simply empty, it's for today's customers, it's the shopkeeper's obsession? I wonder if Ring doesn't have that at all?

"Grunt... when they say that..."

"This pastry shop, Tamamura, has been in store since the middle of the last century, and I don't feel like it's going to end... even though it's the way of the times. I just wanted to say something extra."

To the roaring ring, Junko told him with an uncontrolled smile.

"I'll take over!

"Dude..."

"Kakiyaro... what..."

Suddenly it was Kamahachiro who was eavesdropping around the cashier who made his name out loud. Two of my friends are flattered.

"Let me talk to you. I'll take it when it comes to taking over! My future, I just felt that my path was exactly this! I'll take over the trail of this candy store, Tamamura! Now realize that's heavenly destiny!

The three people in the house were also taken aback by Kamahachiro, who proclaimed them high.

"Hey, persimmon. That's not even what they say all of a sudden..."

"I mean it!

"No, just calm down, okay?

A ring that opens up Kamahachiro with a bitter laugh.

"Why don't you think about it as much as insurance?

"No, I can't, because it's an insurance policy that seems to be gone when I have to"

"That's not true! Don't underestimate me! There are no two words for this Kakiyaro Peach Island!

A ring waving at Junko, who says irresponsible things, and Kamahachiro, who reacts to the words of such a ring.

He then spent more than an hour persuading him plenty, exchanging promises that "if he hadn't changed his mind five years later," Kamahachiro was convinced to back off.

"Excuse me. For what I did..."

"No, no, it was fun."

"That was a surprise."

To Junko, who apologizes, Hojo and Ring have a gentle grin.

"If there are kids like you, Kakiyaro, this town is cheap."

"Slash, you don't seem to understand the logic"

When I heard Hojo's dialogue, the laughter of the ring had turned into bitter laughter.

Let's talk destruction and creation at the candy store. End
