Chapter 189 Ordinary people who accidentally entered the Holy Grail War are classic links
It was night, Kabukicho, Shinjuku District, still sings and dances, drums and music were heard, and the neon lights on both sides of the street were flashing with ambiguous lights, reflecting the coming and going On the face of a pedestrian. The clients in the red light district were either red and flushed or indulged in their faces, and were indulging in their voices.
Asoo Ma has changed jobs recently. Although her job location is still in Shinjuku, which is quite similar to the previous one, the night shift of this comic shop is better at watching the store because of the small traffic and no stability. Things… She stood behind the counter, gently fiddling with the keys of the cash register.
But no matter what, it is really strange to open a comic shop in Kabukicho, Shinjuku, right?
Asoo thought so when he was free.
As an ordinary person, she just thought about it and did not worry too much about this kind of thing. Compared with these details, the salary she can get is the most realistic.
Aso Ma sighed softly, turned around and walked towards the bookshelf, adding several volumes of Kakugawa Bookstore's "Koga Ninjutsu" to the comic bookshelf, with its movements light and skillful.
The bookshelf and exhibition shelves beside her, and the books "Kingda Yi Boy's Event Book" and "Game☆ King"... She looked back in a hurry and estimated that the lack was There are probably still some busy numbers.
So Aso Ma jogged back to the counter with a light footsteps, turned on the radio to adjust to the local news station. The host's exaggerated tone suddenly broke the tranquility of the comic shop at night, "The nightclub building in Shinjuku District was bombed. The tragic accident came from the newscaster's mouth, and there was always a sense of absurd comedy hip-hop.
Asoo really seriously suspects that this host changed his career from Mancai or Luoyu (similar to counterparts and stand-up comedy). She can even imagine how the director team appreciates this style of hell jokes. I decided to find another way to attract such people.
At the same time, the situation revealed by the host also shows that there are fewer and fewer signs of peace in Tokyo these days. There is a trend of storms everywhere. Aso Ma can hear similar "serious accidents" from the radio every day -
Nightclubs, gang clubs, underground bars... Explosions or bloody conflicts among groups, one more tragic, as if they were going back overnight In the war era.
Fortunately, these accidents or conflicts broke out are all located in places with some gray industries. For Aso, who claims to be a good student, these places should need to be completely avoided.
'Also, it seems that the nature of these accidents is far less serious than that of the Shinjuku incident. ’Asoo Ma, while tidying up the shelves, recalling the back of a red-haired man, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Asoo Ma once wanted to find the mysterious red-haired man who saved her in the Shinjuku incident, but the worst thing was that she didn't know the other person's name and did not have photos of the other person. This alone constituted it. A huge problem.
She tried to ask her best friend and senior sister, but there was no reply. She tried to ask about the situation from several Shinjuku store owners she knew, wanting to know if there were any red-haired customers recently, but after a few days, only one of the owners of the video game store kindly told her that there was indeed one a while ago. The red-haired man bought an NDS handheld machine from his store.
Asoo really doesn't understand what NDS is, is it a prop for playing games? But this doesn't sound like a very alternative feature. In her stereotype, boys are really interested in games. The one who is interested in game consoles is not only normal, but also has no way of knowing that it is useful. information.
So Aso's idea was really interrupted. As a minor who had just entered high school for less than a year, her connections and resources were limited. It was undoubtedly a delusion to find someone who only knew the characteristics of color. "Maybe, even if I know more information, I am not qualified to contact the other party." Aso Ma murmured to himself, his voice revealing helplessness. She even began to fantasize that the other party might be a super warrior hidden in a mysterious department. While having power that ordinary people cannot reach, it also means that there is a thick barrier between them and ordinary people.
Asoo Ma was immersed in boring and overwhelming fantasies while replenishing the goods. Back at the counter, she continued to listen to the radio broadcast, as if waiting for a miracle to appear.
Not long after, the bronze bell in front of the store suddenly tinkled. She subconsciously looked up, but couldn't help but widen her eyes and opened her mouth slightly. She found that the figure that was still circling in her mind just now appeared in front of her. ! This is not a dream!

"Ye, thank you for your hard work in the store, it's still open so late!"
Emiya and Erii walked together. This time the goal is to purchase entertainment supplies.
As a teammate, Su Enxi, the trio of whom will not arrive in Tokyo tomorrow, and Charlotte still doesn't know where to stay. Instead, Erie, who has become increasingly interested in staying at home, suddenly recovers from the sudden resurgence of her sudden desire to stay home. With vitality, he pulled him out together.
"...It seems that they are all single-line comics in serialized versions. Do you have a complete version of the past?"
As soon as Erie entered the store, her eyes were attracted by the comics on the bookshelf. She ran to the comic bookshelf and searched, and took a fancy to a book called "Koga Ninjue's Post", and then wrote a few words to Emiya in her notebook. The latter immediately understood the girl's meaning and asked the clerk here. .
The so-called single-line version is the version in which the comics are compiled into a volume and released after reaching a certain number of copies during the serialization period. The complete version is the version that has been revised after a certain amount of work is completed. "Some, some! The complete version is in the corresponding comic section! What type do you need?"
Asoo, a high school girl who was watching the store, hurried over, He pointed the direction for Emiya and the others, but she looked straight at Emiya who was asking about it. When she spoke, she also glanced at his whole body from time to time, as if she was confirming something.
Emiya felt a certain passion in the girl's eyes, and her behavior seemed to be like she wanted to stick her eyes to herself. He looked down at his clothes—ordinary clothes, nothing special. It's strange. He should have no problem with his dressing today, right?
"I want this book "Koga Ninjutsu" first, and then go and see the full version section for the rest."
Emiya suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and said calmly in her tone. . He waved his hand and signaled that the clerk could go back to the counter to see the store first. He and Huiliyi would just choose.
However, Aso Ma seemed to be unable to understand his hint and followed him unyieldingly. Her eyes remained on Emiya.
When choosing a complete version of the comic, the main thing is to choose between Erii. She draws out a comic from time to time, carefully reads a few pages before deciding whether to put it in the shopping basket.
Emiya is watching most of the time, so Aso Ma takes the opportunity to bring a bench and warmly greet Emiya. While serving tea and water, he also brings a plate of snacks. If it weren't for the comics There was no good coffee machine in the store, and she couldn't help but make a cappuccino before bringing it. "Thank you! No, there's too much..." Emiya politely rejected the big bag of cookies that Aso Ma gave him for the third time, and recalled in her mind whether she had known this place where she had known this. The girl, but in the end she couldn't think of anything. "It's okay! Tea and snacks are free!" Aso Ma said again.
"Ah?"
Emiya's mind was filled with doubts. When can comic shops still drink tea and snacks for free?
You can read comics and eat and drink for free. What kind of fairy store is this... Believe it or not, I will not leave next time and stay in the store all day?
After Eri finally selected a basket of comics, she followed Emiya to the counter. Seeing that this short shop trip was about to end, Aso Ma finally became anxious with the naked eye.
Her eyes never left Emiya, and she looked at him eagerly, as if she was waiting for a suitable opportunity to speak. However, when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to speak for a moment, and her face gradually turned red.
Emiya noticed her strangeness, "...I just wanted to ask, Miss Clerk, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, yes!" Aso He said stutteringly.
"I want to say... Thank you very much for what happened last time!... I always wanted to find you but didn't know how to contact you. Today I felt familiar when I was looking at the store, so I couldn't help but take a look at it twice. It was you. That's right! " Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she almost turned into muttering herself.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
Eimi frowned and thought, "I didn't remember what happened last time."
Erii met her ideas very strangely. She raised her notebook, "Is it true?" Recognized as the hero who saved her? "
"Yes, yes, that, my name is Aso Ma. I hope you can leave your name and contact information..."
Aso's words were spoken, her face turned redder even more, as if she realized that her request was a little abrupt. She felt as if she was pursuing a boy with a beautiful female companion, and a feeling of shame suddenly surged in her heart.
However, Arii was also an extraordinary and extraordinary woman beyond Aso Ma's imagination. She had no objection and gave Aso Ma's thumbs up with a smile.
After paying the bill, Aso Ma stood blankly behind the counter, watching the two men disappear into the night. It was not until they walked away for a while that the blush on her face gradually subsided.
She sat on the bench with her legs spread out like a duck, and she was dejected. What she said just now, it was so shameless...
Aso Ma reached out to pick it up A comic book "Koga Ninjutsu" was given to her by Emiya, and her mobile phone number and signature were actually written on it, "Well... it turns out to be a really good person, write it down."< br>
But then again, she always wanted to repay the other person, but when she really met her, she suddenly realized that she couldn't seem to play any role. After all, she was just a high school student with some social experience. Her learning talent was mediocre, and she was good at most Work hard...
Is it said that he will work for a lifetime?
Time passed quietly in Aso's random thoughts, and it was soon time to close the store late at night. She skillfully turned off the lights in the store, locked the door, carried a bag in one hand and a comic book in the other, and walked quickly along the familiar night road.
Familiar road...
As I walked through a familiar corner, Aso Ma was suddenly stunned. The footsteps stopped suddenly, staring at the ground beneath his feet. The originally flat sidewalk cement road turned into broken stone slabs covered with moss.
She raised her head and looked around and found that the nearby metal signs also turned into broken wooden signs with crooked words.
Where is this?
In the distance, several long black shadows were shaking in the dim sky light, getting closer and closer, making Aso's scalp numb and creepy.
Recalling the previous "Shinjuku incident", her breathing became rapid, and her steps unconsciously began to retreat, then turned around and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.
However, the road when I came here also turned into a strange old street scene. Aso really wanted to cry and make a fuss. Why did she encounter such a strange thing again?
She ran in panic and dazed, her feet staggering on the broken stone road, and her palms holding the comic book were already sweating. While running, she tried to put the comic book in her bag, but when she glanced at it, she found that there was a bright red mark on the back of her hand.
She gasped, "Huh...Is this...the paint that has not been wiped clean?"
The current situation is too serious, and she has no time to take care of such trivial matters. She already felt a chill on her back, and the gloomy cold air came quickly as the shadow approached.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Swoosh!"
Just as she was almost about to collapse, a petite figure actually rushed out of the shadow under her feet. The ninja knife in her hand cut a sharp arc, cutting the shadow wrapped in black air from bottom to top into half. .
"Assassin Paraiso, come and report. Show your loyalty to your new lord."
