Chapter 831: The Melancholy of Arius (Part 2)

Chapter 831: The Melancholy of Aleus (Part 2)

He smiled and shook his finger, which shocked me - this was too expensive, it was enough for me to feed the little ghost a meal.

Anyway, after using it, the shells can be recycled and given to Ariya. If it is just to tease Lal and the others, the price is indeed a bit expensive, but it can be given to Ariya as a gift, so it will cost another hundred It doesn't matter if it's times.

"yawn--!!"

In a small villa in Kurast Harbor, the Lal trio suddenly and inexplicably sneezed three times.

"Brother, someone seems to be thinking about us." Big Mouth Doug cursed.

"Who else can it be, except Mr. Wu?"

Lal had a straight face and a solemn look on his face.

"Every time Mr. Wu comes back from outside, he brings us good gifts. Brothers, please recall the painful experiences in the past. This time, he probably wants to bring us some rags from the second world. , we must be careful and never be fooled again.”

As a result, a meeting over the gift war started between the three of them.

…

When I walked out of the fish shop, I was in a good mood. Even when I looked at the old lady selling pickles on the roadside, I thought it was extremely beautiful. As I walked along, I bought the strange and unknown items I saw. Anyway, after I get back, I can use a lot of test objects to test the usefulness of these things, huh huh.

As I walked, a simple little bookstore on the side of the street attracted my attention.

As the Alliance popularizes paper, books are no longer as precious as before. Even civilians, as long as their families can barely avoid starvation, will squeeze out a little money to buy one. These days, a book is A show-off item that can double your worth.

Ordinary civilians are like this, not to mention those who are well-off, or businessmen, nobles, etc. Especially in a wealthy city like Lu Gaoyin, the demand for books is even more amazing, and there are only a few of them. The bookstores are also booming, and there is one almost every few streets.

Therefore, bookstores are no longer unusual. What is strange is this simple little shop. It reminds me of Lu Gaoyin in the first world and his confrontation with the gambling businessman Aigis. It would be a tragedy. If it were not the end The little ghost activated her torch-like gaze attribute to save me a fortune. I guess I would suddenly burst into tears when I went to sleep.

This kind of small store that has the atmosphere of a hidden super store is very attractive to me, a otaku. Even if I have been deceived once, even if the little ghost is not around at the moment, it still can't stop me from walking. passed.

The bookstore owner was an old man, sitting in front of the door, with the indifferent attitude of a reclusive man. At first glance, I thought he was Aigis's brother.

Let me take a look. After all, this is the second world. There will be some different books. It might as well be taken back as gifts for Sarah, Linya and Princess Sanwu.

The old man in the bookstore ignored me, which happened to be because I was afraid of being deceived. When I turned around, I set my sights on the wooden platform made of simple shelves, with a dazzling array of books randomly placed on it.

Oh oh...this is...

If you haven’t seen it, buy it.

It’s fresh stuff again, buy it.

At first glance, I didn’t have high hopes, because there weren’t many dark books, and most of them were knight-hero novels with the same content, which really didn’t have much to see.

But here, I found many unfamiliar faces. Although the title of the book is a bit weird and the font on it is also a bit weird, it does not negate the fact that it is a weird book that I have never seen before.

If you buy it back, Princess Sanwu and the others will probably be happy too.

Thinking like this, I rummaged harder on it, scanning with sharp eyes - it's you! !

At this moment, another black shadow also reached towards the target.

Two hands, one big and one small, tightly grasped the same book, neither letting go of the other.

Huh, good guy, every book here is a unique one. It is absolutely impossible for me to give it away, so I will try harder.

At the same time, the opponent also increased its strength in its hands, proving its determination not to give in.

Damn it, if I keep going like this, this book will be finished first.

Turning my head, I angrily cast my gaze on the contender, who also turned his sharp gaze over at the same time.

With a violent turn of the head, the cap of the cape slipped down, and a long, beautiful red hair that seemed to be able to dance like a flame elf fell down from inside the cape like a waterfall.

"..."

"..."

Stay~~

"You're so brave, you dare to grab a book from me."

Without saying anything, I gave the other person a thumbs-up roll.

"Woo~~"

Arius, who was like a small animal, immediately held his head and paused with tears in his eyes, and his whole body started to tremble.

Could this be a beautiful encounter guided by the seventh sense? With this damn rotten girl?

Meet your sister! Give back my youth and expectations, you bastard! !

With two "papa" sounds, the dead rotten girl seemed to be resurrected on the spot. Just a moment ago, she was suffering from severe amnesia symptoms. The next moment, she stood up calmly and expressionlessly, slapping her body and wrapping it tightly. cloak.

"As expected of...teacher, his eyes are...very, very...sharp, and Aleus is...very, very...moved."

Arius gave me a thumbs up.

I really want to give you a few more strokes.

After glaring at her, I couldn't help but be guided by her words, and turned my gaze to the book that I took the opportunity to grab.

[The passion of a passionate man].

The seven bright red characters immediately blinded our eyes.

This...how could such a book exist in this world, you bastard! !

"That's great. Who is the author? I think I can become good friends with you."

Resisting the urge to tear the book into pieces, I gritted my teeth and smiled at Aleus.

Excited and excited~~, Arius looked up at me with the shining eyes of a puppy looking at the owner holding the food high in the air.

"You're really talking."

Excited and excited~~, Arius clenched his two small fists and waved them around wildly, his eyes narrowed, his face turned red, and he looked confused and shy.

This... the author could be the guy in front of me...

After receiving a positive reply from Aleus, I was completely exhausted.

"Boss...very, very...good guy."

Along the way, Aleus glanced at the book in my hand with secret joy from time to time. It didn't matter whether I threw it or not, it was very, very... painful.

Although just holding this book makes me feel sick, but after seeing the face of this damn fujoshi smiling with joy and excitement from the bottom of her heart, I still can’t stop feeling cruel...

No wonder so many good guy cards were issued in the original world.

Under Aleus' four-character mantra, I finally understood why I could find many strange and strange books there. It turned out that there were many people with some literary talent, maybe among them were commoners, businessmen, and nobles. , there are adventurers who throw their works here to test the depth of the water to see how the effect is and whether they can be printed in large quantities. Over time, it has become a platform for new works, and most people in the circle will often visit it. .

"But, this is your book, why did you buy it?"

I suddenly heard, didn't this rotten girl compete with me for books at the beginning? It was actually written by her, why would she buy it back?

"This...that...this..."

Aleus hesitated and lowered his head in despair, and the long, bright flame hair seemed to dim.

"..."

Seeing Arius faltering in frustration, I suddenly understood a little bit.

Could it be that it can't be sold, so you should recycle it yourself? This kind of situation is not unheard of. For example, in the original world, a certain fan production team's work was unsaleable, but they pretended to be customers and bought it to save a little money. Face can be regarded as a tragic method.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but reach out and rub the little guy's head. As if she felt my mood, she rubbed her head over comfortably, her dull face regained its luster, and she looked at me brightly.

"It's okay...at least...not...and teacher...?"

"..."

No, if you can, please be sure to exclude me and experience the lonely path of a fujoshi alone.

"The next one...in half a month..."

Aleus looked at me with bright pupils.

What...what do you mean?

"Half a month...after!!"

Arius sighed.
