I opened a black shop in Zongman

"Okay then, how much do you need to pay for life?"

After thinking about it, Mai Sakurajima felt that if she didn't pay too much for life, it might be a better choice.

Of course, she still has doubts about whether this place can realize her wish.

"This... only needs to pay ten years of life."

For young people, longevity is indeed a relatively "cheap" thing.

It was within Tatsumi's expectation that the girl would choose to ask about her lifespan.

But the price given by the ghost account book is actually ten years...

Tatsumi felt it was difficult.

"ten years?"

Mai Sakurajima can only accept three to five years of life at most, ten years... let's forget it.

And the situation that she is now regarded as air, maybe there is no other solution.

"This is already the lowest price, do you want to choose another item?"

"...Choose the heart, does this 'love heart' refer to love?"

Mai Sakurajima remembered the intangible price that the other party said before.

Compared with longevity, healthy soul, etc., the girl is now thinking that maybe the "heart" option is better.

"Well, if you lose your love, the lady will not be tempted by the person you like."

Lost the feeling of being in love forever?

The girl feels that this seems too bad...

Which girl does not have a spring, although she has never thought about falling in love before, Mai Sakurajima still fantasizes about whether she will meet Prince Charming or something in the future.

"Is that so, are there other spiritual... options?"

"There is also a sense of shame, a sense of morality..."

"That's still love..."

Feeling that Tatsumi said more and more unreliable, Sakurajima Mai still chose the love that she thought she could abandon from the beginning.

Anyway, as a professional actor, it’s okay not to fall in love...

"Okay, the price matches. If you confirm, please sign here."

Taking a blank sheet of paper from the blank account book, Tatsumi waved his hand, and the content of the transaction was written on the blank sheet - the customer voluntarily exchanged his love for a sense of existence that would not be ignored.

"sign?"

Mai Sakurajima looked at the black and white words conjured from the other party's hand like magic, and began to feel that all this did not seem to be fake.

Is it really necessary to exchange love for the sense of existence?

"I don't have a pen..."

"It doesn't matter, put your hand on the paper, and your name will automatically appear on it."

As long as the girl presses her hand on the white paper, the transaction is considered complete.

Seeing the bunny girl in front of him staring at the white paper on the table without blinking, Tatsumi couldn't help being a little excited.

As long as you press it, the transaction will be completed.

I can escape from this dark prison...

"Is that so..."

Looking at the paper in front of him and what was written on it, Mai Sakurajima still hesitated.

I always feel that it is not good to end my future love so easily...

"By the way, can you... write a time limit on the love transaction, such as ten years or something?"

The girl felt that she still couldn't accept the permanent loss of love.

"Miss, do you want to sell it for only ten years?"

"Ah."

"I'm sorry... this is not okay."

Tatsumi glanced at the pricing in the account book in his hand, and he could only sell his heart forever.

"Okay, then I still..."

Struggling to glance at the content on the paper, Mai Sakurajima finally retracted her hands and returned to the original place.

"Wait! In the future, if Miss wants to redeem the price, I can give you the biggest discount."

After seeing the girl's intention to leave, Tatsumi knew that the deal might still be blown in the end, so he quickly started to remedy it.

"Can it be redeemed?"

Tatsumi's remedy was timely, and Mai Sakurajima seemed to have some discussion.

"Of course, if Miss gets the treasure in the future, as long as the value matches, you can use the treasure or other price to redeem the price you paid this time."

"That's it...then I'll think about it again."

However, even though Tatsumi had already given the "discount" very sincerely, Mai Sakurajima was still wary.

Although this "shop owner" doesn't look like a bad guy in other places except for staring at him and looking a little lecherous.

But trading minds is still... like selling your soul to the devil.

Saying goodbye to this weird "Flower of Hope" shop, Mai Sakurajima returned to her own world again.

But, in this bookstore...

The vocals remain the same, and her "transparency" remains the same.

Chapter 3 The Devil in the Cage

"Hey, wait, if it doesn't work, you can choose other..."

Seeing Mai Sakurajima turning around to leave, Tatsumi hurriedly wanted to stop him, but according to the rules of this place, he couldn't stop the "guest" from leaving.

The Flower of Hope store cannot buy or sell by force.

There was no way, the boy could only watch helplessly as the girl's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness in front of him.

"Damn! She just left like this!?"

Seeing that the deal in his hand flew away like this, Tatsumi was almost devastated.

He thought that this time the other party would just leave for a while and then come back again, but he didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, Mai Sakurajima still didn't appear again.

she dove...

After Tatsumi understood this, his body slid from the chair to the floor like a puddle of soft mud.

Sure enough, I still can't get out of this ghost place.

-

I don't know when it started, when Tatsumi opened his eyes, he found that he had traveled to this weird place that made him completely puzzled.

Except for the rows of cabinets and drawers, there is nothing else here at all.

The room behind the hall was also empty, with no front or back door in the entire space.

At first Tatsumi thought the situation he was in was very interesting, but then he soon felt boundless despair.

can not go out……

The dark area in front of the hall is an invisible and intangible wall of air, and the back of the hall is equally black and bottomless. No matter how much you slap the wall of the room behind the hall, no matter how much you shout, no one responds.

Tatsumi, who was quiet in this strange space, could only hear the sound of his own breathing and heartbeat.

In the end, after calming down, he had to admit that he had time traveled into a huge "box". Of course, it might not be time travel, but the hell after death. Maybe this is the scene.

Because he realized that he didn't feel hunger or thirst for a long time.

It doesn't hurt to hit your head on the floor.

So Tatsumi guessed that he was in a state after death, and this is hell.

However, an account book on the only table in the place dispelled this guess.

This is an account book similar to the "Book of Sand". Although it is full of blank pages, the number of pages inside cannot be exhausted.

Only the words "Flower of Hope Trading Account Book" were written on the front of the book cover.

And the cover at the back actually wrote the description of this place.

It was only after seeing the cover at the back that Tatsumi realized what this place was.

-

①This is an exchange called "Flower of Hope", which aims to bring hope to customers.

②Our store will charge a corresponding price while realizing the wish of the customer. The price cannot be money or other currency, but only something that the customer or the store thinks is precious, no matter whether the thing is intangible or tangible.

③If the customer fails to pay the corresponding price after completing the transaction, the store has the right to forcibly take back the remaining life and soul of the customer. If the life and soul can offset the price, the transaction will continue to take effect. If not, the transaction will be void and the customer’s Life and soul will not return.

④ The successful transaction must be voluntary by the customer, and the customer cannot be forced to trade.

⑤Only those who have a strong desire and meet the requirements can come to the store by themselves, but after the customer completes a transaction with the store, the store manager can go to the world where the customer is located to collect more customers.

⑥In order to ensure that the transaction is not hindered, there will be no language communication problems between the store manager and the customers, and the store manager is regarded as an invincible existence within the scope of the store.

……

* After completing [-] transactions, the store manager can return to his original world.

-

After getting this account book, Tatsumi automatically became the store manager here.

And, judging by the blank pages in the ledger, he was also the first store manager...

At the beginning, looking at the pile of clauses on the back cover of the account book, Tatsumi was still looking forward to the coming guests.

Almost all of the above are terms that are beneficial to our store, so maybe [-] transactions are not difficult to achieve...

Also, it seems interesting to be able to go to the world where the guests live.

However, the reality undoubtedly poured cold water on him.

And it's the kind that drenches from head to toe...

No one, no guests, not a single one.

Waiting until the eyes were eager to see through, until the patience was almost exhausted, there was no guest who the account book said would come here by himself in front of Tatsumi.

Despair once again prevailed.

Because of the invincible power here, Tatsumi who wants to vent can easily smash the floor, wooden cabinets, and walls here, but no matter how thoroughly he destroys this place, there is still an invisible wall outside that traps him. This.

What made him even more frustrated was that those broken floors, wooden cabinets, and walls would slowly return to their original appearance.

'This is hell'.

After committing suicide several times to no avail, Tatsumi gave such a definition to this ghostly place, and then lay down on the floor with his eyes closed.

He was waiting to die, but he couldn't die.

In this way, day after day, year after year, suffering from loneliness and other mental tortures, he finally waited for the first guest on this day.

And she's a beautiful girl in a bunny costume.

His heart was almost ashamed, but after seeing the girl, his hope was rekindled.

Maybe, I can make a deal with her, maybe I can escape from this hell right away...

Suppressing the complex and joyful expressions in his heart, Tatsumi worked hard to reach a deal with this bunny girl as if he had been in the rain for a long time.

But what made him despair again was that the reserve price given by the account book was too high, and Miss Bunny Girl finally left here.

Transaction failed...

Just ask, how to make a desperate person even more desperate?
