"It's already half past ten, Koumei should go home early." Domama Mei snorted.
After walking around the bookstore, Doma Mai still didn't buy any new books. Firstly, she was not very interested in those best-sellers, and secondly, her wallet was too empty.
A copy of "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" costs nearly 3,000 yen. Doma Mei has to spend half a week's pocket money to buy a book she doesn't even read, and she is reluctant to do that.
"I also have to go home to apply medicine to Sagiri. I'm not in such a hurry." Yushan Kazuto smiled and walked to the right side of Doma Yui.
"this is for you."
A handbag was delivered to Doma Mai's right hand, and the bracelet shaking on Yushan Kazuto's left hand made Doma Mai blink.
Chapter 617: The Forgotten JUMP 50th Anniversary Commemorative Issue
"This...what's in here?" said Tsuchima, blinking.
"One copy of "The Solitude of Prime Numbers", one copy of "Digital Sins", and one copy of Weekly Shonen Jump's 50th anniversary commemorative issue." Yushan Kazuto said.
"What...what Weekly Shonen Jump? I...I don't even read comics."
When she heard about the 50th anniversary commemorative issue of Shonen Jump, a look of surprise appeared on Tsuchiya's face, but this expression was fleeting. Tsuchiya reacted instantly and said.
"When I was in the bookstore, I saw you always glancing at the comics section." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Or I should go and return it. The bookstore owner seemed reluctant to sell it to me just now." Yushan Heren asked tentatively.
"No... no need to return it, it's too troublesome." Doma Mai quickly shook her head. What a joke, this is the 50th anniversary commemorative issue, it's a rare collector's issue!
Doma Mai opened the handbag and took a look. It was indeed the 50th anniversary commemorative issue, but the 50th anniversary commemorative issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine was released in 2018. It had been several years, and it was sold out as soon as it was released.
Yui Doma often went to that small bookstore, but she had never found this 50th anniversary commemorative issue.
"Senior scumbag, how did you find this 50th anniversary commemorative issue?" asked Doma Mai with a blink.
"Hey, I've already given you a gift, and you're still calling me a scumbag senior?"
"Hmph, there's no use bribing Komari." Komari pouted.
Although she was happy now and it was okay to call him Senior Yushan a few times, Doma Mai still felt that Yushan Kazuto should not be too arrogant.
"It's a bit of a coincidence. After I took out a copy of Digital Sin, I suddenly found another book hidden behind it."
"I was curious, so I moved all the Digital Sin away, and I found this Weekly Shonen Jump 50th anniversary issue."
"Maybe someone wanted to buy it at the time, but didn't have enough money, so they hid the book, and then forgot about it later, or bought it somewhere else." Yushan Kazuto said.
Although this bookstore is not big, it still has acoustic and magnetic anti-theft measures. If you take books out of the bookstore without paying, the bell at the door will buzz.
Therefore, it is difficult to steal books, but there is not much risk in hiding books. The most you risk is being discovered by the boss and then having them taken out.
The bookstore owner was also a little confused when he was checking out. When did his bookstore have a copy of the 50th anniversary commemorative issue of Weekly Shonen Jump!
Originally, he also wanted to collect it, but after scanning the code into the computer, the bill appeared, so he had to give the book to Yushan Kazuto with tears in his eyes.
Before handing it to Yushan Kazuto, he gently rubbed the plastic cover of the book with his hands, just like stroking the skin of his lover. One by one, he wiped away all the dust, which was also an important reason why Yushan Kazuto almost didn't catch up with Tsuchima.
Doma Mai felt that this story was a little strange, but she didn't doubt it too much. Anyway, this rare Weekly Shonen Jump 50th anniversary commemorative issue was now in her hands!
Suddenly, Tsuchiya realized something was strange.
"In other words? Those copies of Digital Sin have not been touched for several years?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked. This was an unexpected path. However, Yushan Kazuto quickly relieved his embarrassment: "Maybe it's because many people can't even understand probability theory, so it's a bit difficult to read this book."
Doma pouted and snorted softly, and before they knew it, they had reached the door of the apartment.
……
elevator.
"Mayumi-chan, why don't you press the elevator button?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Can I...can I go up and check on Sagiri?"
Tsuchima Yui was struggling with two things in her mind: the bracelet on Hayama Kazuto's hand, and the 50th anniversary commemorative issue of Weekly Shonen Jump that Hayama Kazuto gave her. She forgot to press the floor button for a moment.
However, Tsuchiya would not admit this.
"That's no problem, but weren't you in a hurry to go home before?" Yushan Heren blinked and said.
"I changed my mind." Domama turned her head away.
When she thought of the bracelet on Yushan Kazuto's hand, she felt a little confused. She originally thought that Yushan Kazuto would only wear it for a week or two at most, but she didn't expect that Yushan Kazuto was still wearing it for so long.
In fact, it’s not that Yushan Heren thinks this bracelet is so important or commemorative, he is just used to it.
The saying "it takes 21 days to develop a habit" may sound a bit idealistic, but it is not without reason.
It didn't matter if he wore it on his hand, so Yushan Kazuto kept wearing it. But in Tsuchima's opinion, the meaning of it was somewhat unusual.
……
The relationship between Mai Doma and Sagiri Izumi is not good, but it is not bad either. They don’t communicate much in normal times, but Sagiri Izumi is not afraid of Mai Doma when she sees her.
But today, Izumi Sagiri lost a tooth, her speech was a little lisp, and she didn't want to see Doma Mai.
Doma Mai only exchanged a few words with Izumi Sagiri outside the room, and then she could only go to find Shirosaki Hana to read together in a dejected manner.
"It's 'The Solitude of Prime Numbers' and 'The Sin of Numbers'!" Seeing the books in Doma Yui's hands, Shirasaki Hana exclaimed.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink: "Xiaohua, do you know these two books too?"
"Yeah, I saw it when Brother Kazuto came to my house a few years ago." Shirosaki Hana nodded.
"Little Flower
Did you see it too?" Tsuchima asked.
A few years ago, Shirasakihana probably hadn't even been to Koyuki yet.
"Yeah, I watched it all." Shirosaki Hana said, "It's very exciting, but I just don't understand it."
Doma Mai blinked, feeling that what Shirosaki Hana said was similar to the recent popular saying on the Internet: "It's a good job, but a bit crappy."
But there was nothing that could be done. Given Hana Shirasaki's age at that time, it was normal for her not to be able to understand these two books. Even Doma Mei herself was not sure if she could understand them.
……
"Brother Kazuto, I...I don't want to go to Watakura anymore." Izumi Sagiri said with a blushing face while sitting on the bed.
Izumi Sagiri didn't want to go out in the first place, and now that she had lost a tooth and her speech was lisp, she didn't want to go out even more.
"Why? Didn't everyone agree on this? And your luggage has been almost packed." Yushan Heren said.
"But... my voice sounds weird now, it's... very embarrassing." Izumi Sagiri lowered her voice, but there was still some leakage.
"But when you went to Watakura, didn't you also stay in your room, Sagiri?" said Kazuto Yuyama, blinking.
Izumi Sagiri immediately stared at Yushan Kazuto, as if interrogating him: "Can you speak?"
"If you don't go to Kazukura, then Koume-chan will have to take care of you. Sagiri, if you're willing, I'll tell Koume-chan."
"Bury, bury my sister?" Thinking of how she resolutely sent Doma Mai out of the room just now, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Chapter 618: The Time Has Not Come Yet
In the end, Izumi Sagiri decided to travel to Watakura.
Although Izumi Sagiri's speech was a little shaky after she lost a tooth, she had to admit that what Yushan Kazuto said made sense.
Anyway, I usually don’t leave the room, and I probably won’t talk to anyone if I leave the room, so the impact of losing a tooth can be ignored.
Moreover, if I don't go out with him, I will have to face Tujianma in the next few days.
Although Izumi Sagiri has a good impression of Tsuchima Yui, the two are not very familiar with each other after all. The relationship between them is not as close as that between Izumi Sagiri and Eriri, Touma Sanae and others.
It is still a little embarrassing to let Sagiri Izumi and Mei Tsuchima have one-on-one contact.
……
After applying medicine to Izumi Sagiri, Yushan Kazuto walked out of the room and just in time saw Doma Mai walking out of the master bedroom.
"Mayumi-chan, are you done with your shower?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
"Washed? W, what for?" Domama Mai was a little alert and stared at Yushan and others.
"What I mean is, if you've already taken a shower, just rest here tonight," Yushan Kazuto said.
Doma's eyes turned around, not quite understanding why Yushan Kazuto would take the initiative to stay the night.
[Could it be that... the scumbag senior is planning to attack Koume-chan? ]
"Spend more time with Xiaohua. Although I can't tell from her expression, I know that Xiaohua must be reluctant to leave you." Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mai breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she just wanted her to accompany Shirasaki Hana.
But while relaxing, Tsuchima Mai suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in her heart.
"You... you lend me some clothes."
Doma Ume didn't bring pajamas when she came up, and she couldn't wear Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri's sizes. Although Yushan Kazuto's clothes were a little big, they could at least cover her.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded and found a nightgown from the closet, but it was too long for Tsuchima Mai and it felt like a kimono.
But Tsuchima Mai didn't care. After changing her clothes, she started chatting with Shirasaki Hana on the bed.
……
Walking out of the bathroom, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Shirasaki Hana and Tsuchima Mai were already asleep on the bed.
Yushan Kazuto wanted to carry Umi to Shirasaki Hana's room, but Umi and Shirasaki Hana were hugging each other tightly, so he could only call out softly, "Umi, are you asleep?"
Doma Mai opened her eyes and looked at Hayama Kazuto, who also blinked, thinking that she had guessed correctly.
How could a night owl like Tsuchiya fall asleep so early?
"You sleep with Xiaohua, I'll sleep in the next room." Yushan Kazuto said softly, afraid of waking up Shirosaki Hana.
"Then... isn't there such a wide space over there?" Doma Mai stretched out her jade finger and pointed to the other side of Shirasaki Hana.
The bed was very large, with Doma Yui and Shirasaki Hana occupying less than half of it, so there was still plenty of space for Yushan Kazuto to sleep.
"No... it's not appropriate."
Although the three of us had sat together before, that was purely an accident.
"When Xiaohua wakes up... and finds you're not here, she'll cry." Domama pursed her lips and said, but she had something else in mind.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, as if what Tsuchiya Mei said was right. If Shirosaki Hana woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see him, she would definitely not be happy.
"Then I'll sleep over there." Yushan and others crawled into the bed. Because there was one more person than usual, the quilt seemed to be warmer.
"Good night." Tsuchimiya whispered.
"You should go to bed early. I still have to go online to do some work." Yushan Heren said.
Hearing what Yushan Kazuto said, Doma Mai's face suddenly turned cold. Because it was a temporary stay, Doma Mai did not bring the nervgear with her.
In the world of Aincrad tonight, only Kazuto Yuyama and Asuna Yuuki can live together.
Tujian Mai couldn't help but puff out his cheeks and closed his eyes tightly. Although he couldn't fall asleep for the time being, at least out of sight, out of mind.
Yushan Kazuto smiled, turned off the lights, and put on the nervgear.
……
"Isn't Mamoru-chan online today?"
Looking at Hayama Kazuto who was online alone, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but ask.
Usually, Yushan and Ren are always online together with Tsuchima, and Yuuki Asuna is almost used to it.
"Hello, Komari has something to do today, so she can't go online. Let's go practice for an hour and a half." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Ah."
Although Yuuki Asuna felt a little strange that Tsuchima Yui was not online today, the opportunity to level up alone with Yuyama Kazuto actually made her feel happy.
The two chose the 90th floor for leveling. Although the monsters on the upper floors provided more experience, the density of monsters on the upper floors was a bit low and could not meet the needs of leveling.
While fighting monsters, Yuuki Asuna asked, "Kazuto-senpai, I think our strength should be enough to clear Aincrad. Why don't we clear it all at once and save everyone?"
Although her life was not in danger, Yuuki Asuna did not feel that sense of urgency, but she still hoped to rescue other players in the game as soon as possible.
"Hasn't it been a long time since any player died recently?" Yushan Heren said.
