I push the child!

Chapter 17 17. Later
"Thank you." He said to the kind uncle who transported the garbage.

"It's nothing, nothing." The uncle smiled and waved his hands, loading the garbage into the car.

A sweet voice came from the side: "Hui Mei, I have a letter from you~"

"Oh! Come now."

Someone came to pick up the letter from the nearby green mailbox. After the girl left, Mucun Taku turned to take another look, and left quickly.

After that day, Makimura Taku gradually got used to traveling alone.

Go out to read during the day, and go to the pet shop to play with cats in the afternoon.

If it's not raining, walk around near dusk to see the scenery.

When I was tired, I sat in a coffee shop and ordered a cup of mocha coffee, while listening to music and reading cheap magazines that could be bought on the street.

After exercising at night, I take a shower and go to bed. The journey can be regarded as leisurely. Although I feel empty occasionally, that feeling is getting weaker day by day.

November 26, the third day of the sun.

After the weather improved, Makimura Taku's mood also became more relaxed, although it was not yet pleasant.

After running in the morning, he went to a small restaurant at noon and ate a cheese pizza and half a bowl of natto.

He wanted to buy a can of MAX coffee at a nearby convenience store, but when he passed a pet store on the road, he was stopped by a girl watching the store.

"Makimura!"

Mucun Taku followed the prestige and saw the girl waving vigorously at him, and then changed her gesture to signal him to come over.

When Mucuntuo walked up to her, the girl said to him: "Good afternoon, Mucun!"

She has long black hair that barely reaches her shoulders, a red hooded sweater on her upper body, a black pleated skirt underneath, white socks that do not reach her knees, and New Balance sneakers, which look cute.

Mucun Tuo responded, "Good afternoon, Miss Ogura."

"Miss Yuki is fine."

"Miss Yuki Ogura."

"Come in?"

He nodded.

The two walked to the swivel round chair near the counter in the store. Makimura Taku sat down on it, and Ogura Yuki gave him a fat orange cat that was half asleep and half awake.

"It's early today."

"Didn't you call me in?"

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Buy coffee."

"It just so happens that I have this too," Yuki Ogura said, "Buy local coffee beans and brew it yourself, do you want to drink it?"

"Thank you."

"The cup is new."

"It's troublesome."

After the conversation was over, Yuki Ogura turned around and went into a small room, and came out about 5 minutes later with an extra cup of mellow coffee in his hand.

She handed the coffee to the table like a waiter: "There is also milk and sugar, if you want, add it yourself."

"How much."

"Of course it's free!" She smiled, took a small silver-gray cat into her arms, and sat down next to Taku Makimura, "Is there any song you want to hear?"

"Can it be put in the store?"

"This is a store opened by my family, what can't be done?"

"Then play Five Hundred Miles."

"Justin Timberlake's?"

"Yes."

Ogura Yuki stroked the fur on the cat's neck with his hand, then put the cat on the table, and went to the room to play the song.

The first sound of the song was rock music, and then it kept changing until it changed to "Five Hundred Miles", and she came out again.

"Ah, fortunately there is this song."

"Actually, it's okay to put anything else."

"You like ballads?"

"it's OK."

""Love story", have you heard it?"

"I heard."

"I like it very much," she said, blinking her eyes. "There will be this song in a while."

Mu Cuntuo nodded, and the big yellow cat howled twice in his arms.

Two young girls walked in from outside the door, and the opening bell hanging on the door frame rang a few times.

"Going to read again in the morning?"

"Sports, reading, enjoying the scenery."

"Oh," Ogura Yuki rubbed the cat's head, "this is called travel!"

"It's okay, it's quite relaxing." Makimura Taku said.

"What book did you read today?"

""little Prince"."

"Children watch it."

"'I ask the children to forgive me for dedicating this book to a grown-up,'" Makimura told her. "That's what it says in the beginning of the book."

"Should read "Weekly Shonen Jump"!"

"I've seen that one too."

"Have you seen that lewd manga?"

"Naughty comics?"

"That sort of thing."

Makimura Taku paused, and Ogura Yuki directly told him that he didn't need to answer: "If you hesitate for a second, you just read it!"

"what is this."

"One-second rule!"

Makimura Takumi smiled, and took a sip of coffee sideways. No sugar was added, and the taste was a bit bitter.

At this time, the song played in the store changed to "Sparking Fireworks" by Kenshi Yonezu.

"Hey," the two listened to the song while taking care of the cat. After a while, Yuki Ogura suddenly moved his shoulders and asked him mysteriously, "Makimura, where is the girl who was with you before? She is very beautiful. Um, like a female star? You know who I'm talking about, why haven't you seen her before?"

"She's back in Tokyo." Takumi Mumura rubbed the cat's chin without raising his head.

"Back to Tokyo?"

"should be."

"Aren't you guys together?" Ogura Yuki raised his body in surprise.

The coffee was steaming white, there was a slight sound of footsteps around, and the bright light shone down obliquely from above, causing the vision to be in a trance for a moment.

The figure that had gradually faded away suddenly became clear again.

White skirt, bunny hair accessories, long blue-purple hair, and those breathtaking eyes.

Hoshino Ai, Makimura Takumi can't forget this name.

"I just met by chance." When he said this, he had the illusion that he was talking about something that happened a few years ago, and it was obvious that the separation was only a few days ago.

"Really?"

"My strength is honesty."

"I thought you two were a couple." Ogura Yuki didn't look at him, but stared down at the cat, "After all, you're pretty handsome, too."

"What is handsome."

"It's handsome, isn't it good to be handsome?" She argued with a blushing face.

"Thank you," Mucuntuo said flatly, "Actually, I didn't want you to praise me, it was you who insisted on saying it."

"Fool."

"as long as you are happy."

There are customers in the store, and Yuki Ogura goes to help.

The man left a white-haired cat here, and Yuki Ogura took the cat into a special room to take a bath, and he worked for a long time before coming out.

"I'm exhausted." She complained to Mu Cuntuo before she sat down.

"I can tell." Mu Cuntuo took out a small package of napkins from his pocket and handed them to her, "Wipe your sweat?"

"Oh," she froze for a moment, took the tissue and said, "Thank you."

The two continued to listen to the song, but they didn't know which one to play. The lyrics sounded like Russian songs, but Makimura Taku hadn't heard it at all.

"Where is your home?" Yuki Ogura asked nonchalantly.

"Tokyo."

"How long are you going to stay in Karuizawa?"

"It's almost spring?"

He thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate. The desire to go back before spring seemed to have increased, but he didn't change his mind in the end.

"Spring." Ogura Yuki raised his head and thought for a while, then looked at him, "Makimura, do you want to come to work with me?"

"work to earn a living?"

"Part-time job." She said, "Come here for two hours in the afternoon and two hours in the evening every day. It won't delay your playing around, and you will be paid!"

"how many?"

"Generally, I will pay one thousand per hour." She pointed out a finger.

"what about me?"

"You're so handsome, I'll give you two thousand!" She showed her second finger.

"Is this nurturing?"

"Does that count?"

"How would I know."

"That's fine." She smiled triumphantly, "If you feel bad, just stand at the door of the store and help me hand out leaflets to attract customers."

"You think I'm a cowherd?"

"Not a bad idea."

"Then I refuse."

"I'm sorry~" She sat on the stool and bowed, and the silver-gray cat was pressed into her chest by her.

They sat until four o'clock in the afternoon. Mucuntuo put the cat down and said he was going back. Yuki Ogura shook the cat and jumped down to see him off.

"No need." Mu Cuntuo told her to stop.

"Then tomorrow will come," Yuki Ogura asked pitifully, "Is that okay?"

"You offer so much salary, you can't refuse."

"That's a deal!"

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye~"

The two waved goodbye, and the bell on the door frame rang a few more times.

　Thank you for your rewards, monthly tickets, and recommended tickets.

　　I really like the song when I heard it today, it’s called, the sound of the wind passing by, I’m sharing it with you.
