Chapter 147 Paradise Lost

The sky is very red today, and the entire Shangtian District is painted in red.

After receiving a few little girls who came to the convenience store to buy gummy candies, Shiina Kiri picked up the paper book placed nearby.

The book is called "Paradise Lost" and it was borrowed by Shiina Kiri from the Yuuki High School library in the evening.

With the idea of ​​​​catching fish at work to level up, Shiina Kiri spread the book flat on the cashier counter and read it silently.

The skill of "learning" is very interesting. Most light novels and comics will not increase experience points, but a small number of literary works can, even narrative ones.

But it’s a bit wrong to say this. After all, literary works include light novels.

Shiina Kiri doesn't know how to specifically identify "learning" skills.

Before he could turn the page, someone else came to the checkout counter. After Shiina Kiri closed the book, he took the shopping basket and scanned the items one by one.

This cycle repeats.

The sky seems to be a lot darker, but the red afterglow still shines on the tile floor of the convenience store.

Shiina Kiri pressed the book gently with her left hand, turned her head towards the door as if feeling something, and saw the woman walking towards the sunset.

She was dressed very casually today, wearing a white suspender shirt underneath and a lavender short coat outside.

The woman and Shiina Kiri looked at each other.

"Xiaowu~"

Shiina Kiri nodded in response. "Store manager."

"Xiao Wu, are you free tonight? Has Jie Xia told you what happened tonight?"

Momotani Miyuki walked to the upright freezer and took out a bottle of coconut milk, and then handed it to Shiina Kiri naturally.

"Jie Xia told me that I have nothing to do tonight, but I can't go back too late. Store manager, here you go."

Shiina Kiri unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it back.

I went back too late to explain to Asakura Yin.

"Okay." Miyuki Momotani raised her head and took a sip of coconut milk, like a white swan raising her head.

"Hey, Xiaowu, what are you reading?"

She suddenly noticed the book Shiina Kiri was holding on her left hand.

"yes…"

Shiina Kiri's voice paused.

When he borrowed this book from the library, he didn't know the specific content. He just asked the administrator to borrow a famous book.

Now he took a moment to look at nearly a third of it in a convenience store, and he had a rough idea.

This book tells the story of extramarital affairs.

"It's Junichi Watanabe's Lost Paradise."

He thought about it and realized that there was nothing between him and the store manager, and the store manager might not have read the book, so he seemed guilty of hiding it.

"So, Xiaowu, do you think love is physical desire or spiritual sustenance?" Momotani Miyuki asked after pondering for a moment.

‘She actually saw it!’ Shiina Kiri was shocked.

"They all have it, right?"

The so-called Platonic love seemed like a joke to Shiina Kiri, at least he couldn't appreciate it.

"I think so too." Momotani Miyuki's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled.

Shiina Kiri realized that although she was more than ten years older than him, she had never tasted the fruit of desire.

Moreover, in front of the woman's ex-husband that day, she said, "He is very good and energetic. I am very happy and comfortable with him. It is the flavor of youth."

The most important thing is that the woman fell in love with him during marriage! It is very similar to what is described in this book.

He met the woman's beautiful and deep eyes.

Shiina Kiri. "..."

"Xiaowu~"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

This is a bad woman.

But it doesn't matter, to him.

Thief Cao deserves to die.

But if the thief is me, fine, I like it very much.

Moreover, although Shiina Kiri didn't know what happened between them, he could hear some generalizations about the conversation between the woman and the old man in that high-end Italian restaurant that day.

The marriage between two people is like a "contract". To be more precise, perhaps "transaction" is more appropriate.

There is no "love" between them, either physical or spiritual.

"Store manager, do you want to go to the lounge and sit for a while? You will get off work soon." Shiina Kiri changed the subject.

He saw that the woman's eyes were quite dim.

But he had been "played" by women many times, and he didn't know if she was really disappointed.

Maybe it's really disappointing.

That night, she kissed him secretly while holding a wine bottle.

If there were no blue subtitles, Shiina Kiri would feel that the princess was "rewarding" him as a knight for his "guarding" service.

But later I got "intelligence" and knew her intentions. Was that secret kiss a sign of her taking the initiative to get closer to him?

After she got divorced, she couldn't help but kiss him secretly.

But he greedily asked Asakura Yin to go to the convenience store, intending for them to meet first.

Later, Asakura Neto didn't meet the store manager, so he asked Yuka Gensei to go, and even half-certainly said on the phone that Yuka Gensei was his girlfriend.

In fact, women have always taken the initiative, but he always pushed her away.

It's not a clear rejection, but it hurts more than rejection.

…

Shiina Kiri sat in the woman's passenger seat.

"Do you still want to buy some clothes?"

"Yes, Xiaowu, do you want to follow your sister to the party in your school uniform?" Momotani Miyuki snorted. "I'll let my sister explain it then."

"I mean, didn't I buy a suit last time? We can go to the store manager's house and change the clothes before going there." Shiina Kiri said.

"This party is not formal. Xiaowu, why don't you wear a suit then?"

Momotani Miyuki's right hand rested casually on the steering wheel, and the silver bracelet looked not as clear as her wrist.

"Okay." Shiina Kiri had no choice but to agree.

The two of them came to a men's clothing store. Momotani Miyuki picked out more than a dozen sets of clothes for him, and Shiina Kiri was like a clothes rack, dressing them and giving comments to women.

"Xiaowu looks really good in this..."

"This one looks good too..."

"this…"

A woman's praise is like a mother's treatment of her son, it is not valuable but very valuable.

The smile on her face did not diminish.

Shiina Kiri felt that this was the feeling of being taken care of that he wanted in the first place. The most important thing is that this rich woman is a great beauty.

"Store manager, we have tried so many pieces, why don't we just pick one at random."

Being praised by women and shopping guides for her beauty, Shiina Kiri felt like she was about to swell.

Sure enough, people are judged by their clothes. I have never seen anyone take a fancy to him before.

Maybe it's just the salesman's sales tactics. After all, this men's clothing store is very high-end, and each set is not cheap, at least not something he can afford with his part-time salary.

"Okay then." Momotani Miyuki turned to look at the shopping guide. "Help me wrap up all these clothes."

"Wait, what are you buying so many for?" Shiina was confused. He had just tried on only twenty or thirty sets of clothes, and he didn't even have that many clothes in a year.

"Buy it and wear it."

Momotani Miyuki took out a card and handed it to the shopping guide. Only then did Shiina Kiri realize that even the shopping guide was stunned.

"Are you sure you want both?"

She turned around and glanced at Shiina Kiri secretly. He was wearing a high school uniform when he first came here. Although he was very elegant, he obviously didn't look like a child from a rich family.

so……

"Well, go ahead." Momotani Miyuki waved her hand.
