Daily Comics: Mystery Begins from Everyday Life

"That's what you said a minute ago!" Yamauchi Sakura smiled and blinked, as if to say, I'm not that easily fooled.

"I think it's best for you to follow your own ideas." Luotian said.

"Really? But I think your suggestion is great!" Yamauchi Sakura said with a smile.

"Okay..." Luo Tian did not argue too much with this girl whose thoughts and personality were as active as hers, and reminded her: "But I have to remind you, and I usually have a lot of work. Whether you are happy or not is your own business."

"Work?" Yamauchi Sakura asked curiously, as if she hadn't heard Luotian's reminder. "Speaking of all the rumors about you at school, the ones about your work only briefly mentioned that you work in a toy store that sells exquisite dolls."

"Yes, this 'Rose Doll' is run by me." Luotian replied calmly.

"Eh!? You own this store!?" Yamauchi Sakura exclaimed, and only then did she notice that the dolls on the shelves were extremely delicate and cute.

"That's right." Luo Tian rubbed his ears and tidied up the messy desk. "The dolls here are all made by me. Do you like any of them? I'll give you a 10% discount."

"These dolls are so beautiful~" came the exclamation voice of Yamauchi Sakura.

"Of course, didn't I tell you that I made all of these myself?"

"Luotian, they have already left."

"Ok?"

Following Yusa Emi's reminder, Luo Tiancai raised his head.

The girl who was originally standing in front of the cashier counter was now exclaiming in amazement and praise around the shelves.

"Amazing! Doll 01's expression is so lifelike!"

"Wow! Is this a retro-style doll princess?!"

"And this! She looks like a real noble lady. She's so elegant and cute just by looking at her!"

Listening to his own exclamations of amazement, Luotian was in a particularly good mood. After all, these puppets were made with great care, and hearing such compliments was the best recognition!

"Sometimes I find that you are quite easy to satisfy." Yusa Huimei sighed with a smile, looking at Luotian with a somewhat absent-minded look in her eyes.

"This is a business that comes right to your door..." Luo Tian winked at Yusa Emi cunningly, and then shouted loudly: "Hey, Yamauchi-san, which one do you like? I'll give you a 15% discount!"

"I like them all! Wow! Why are they so expensive?!" Yamauchi Sakura exclaimed.

"You get what you pay for!" Luotian shouted.

"Luotian, do you think she, a student, can afford it?" Yusa Huimei asked curiously.

"I don't know about that." Luo Tian shrugged and added: "But judging from her appearance, she will definitely be a potential customer."

"Potential customers..." Yusa Emi was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in understanding. "That's true. After all, these dolls are really beautiful and have an unparalleled appeal to women."

"If I hadn't seen you making it yourself, I would have suspected that you were using some strange magic to confuse the customers."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?!" Luo Tian raised his head confidently, glanced at Yusa Huimei and said teasingly: "Besides, even the brave man who saved the world was attracted to him. This is the biggest success in recent times!"

"Okay, okay." Yusa Huimei rolled her eyes and said with some embarrassment after being hit in the heart: "I feel so embarrassed when you compare me like this..."

"What does that matter? Compared to your identity as a hero, you are a woman first. Of course you will like cute and beautiful things." Luotian said as if it was a matter of course.

"Um... although that's true..." Yusa Emi touched the alien-style combat skirt doll in her arms, lowered her head and muttered softly: "But I am a brave man with a strong will after all... I was actually deceived by external things. It's really embarrassing to tell others..."

"That's not true!" Luo Tian patted Yusa Huimei's shoulder generously and comforted her: "You think too much. It's normal for girls to like beautiful dolls. Even many boys like the dolls I made."

“That’s… that’s right…” He seemed to have found common ground with Luotian’s words and quickly added: “It’s all because the dolls Luotian made are too beautiful!”

"That's right." Luo Tian nodded, looking like a teachable boy, and then said, "I'm going to work first. I'll leave this to you."

"Um...Okay." Seeing Luotian turning around and leaving, Yusa Huimei hurriedly asked: "Luotian, what about her?"

"Her?" Luo Tian glanced at the girl who was looking at the dolls on the shelf with a look of admiration on her face, "If she wants to find me later, let her come."

"Okay, I understand." Yusa Huimei nodded in agreement, and after Luotian left, she walked to the cashier and sat down, packing her favorite doll in the alien war dress, waiting to take it home after get off work in the evening.

However, just as Yusa Emi was carefully wrapping the doll, Yamauchi Sakura came over.

"Um...where is Luotian?" asked Yamauchi Sakura.

"Luotian went to work." Yusa Huimei said with a smile.

"Work?" Yamauchi Sakura was slightly stunned, then reacted and asked curiously: "Hey, Miss Clerk, Luotian just said that all the dolls were made by him. Is he going to make dolls now?!"

"Yeah, that's right." Yusa Emi nodded and asked, "Have you found a doll you like? Luotian said you can get a 15% discount if you buy it."

"These dolls are very beautiful, I like them all, but..." Yamauchi Sakura pouted, "But they are so expensive... The cheapest doll costs 300,000 yen..."

"Uh, hehe..." Yusa Emi smiled politely and said, "This is already the lowest price I can offer. Moreover, these beautiful dolls are all made by Luotian himself. Even the clothes are made of high-quality materials and are sewn stitch by stitch. They are definitely worth the selling price."

"Yeah, I can tell that." Yamauchi Sakura nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Ms. Clerk, you just said that Luotian went to make dolls. Can I go and see?"

"Sure." Yusa Emi said, "Luotian is in the workshop upstairs."

At the same time, Luotian in the workshop upstairs received a call from Sakura Kinomoto.

"Brother Luotian~" Sakura Kinomoto's lively and childish voice came from the phone.

"Xiaoying, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" Luotian asked softly.

"Well, that's good~" Kinomoto Sakura paused for a moment, then continued: "But I've been having strange dreams these past two days..."

"Don't worry, I've heard about your situation from Mercury Lamp. You'll be fine." Luo Tian consoled her, "You'll become a magician in the future!"

"Magician...really?" Sakura Kinomoto asked concernedly.

"Of course it's true." Luo Tian asked gently, "If I ask Mercury Lamp to bring it to you, do you understand?"

"Hmm... I don't really understand... Predictive dreams and the like..." Kinomoto Sakura asked in annoyance: "Brother Luotian, will the things in the dream really happen?"

"Yes, and Sakura's dream is not an ordinary dream. It is a predictive dream that only magicians can use to peek into what will happen in the future." Luotian explained softly.

"Brother Luotian, but I'm not a magician..." Sakura Kinomoto said confusedly.

"Although Sakura is not a magician yet, she will soon become a magician." Luotian said with a smile.

"Eh! So fast?!" Kinomoto Sakura exclaimed in a childish voice, not letting anyone know! Sorry, sorry! Brother Luotian! I am being rude!"

"It's okay, Sakura is very cute!" Luotian praised with a smile.

"Hehe~ Thank you, Brother Luotian!" Kinomoto Sakura thanked him shyly, and then asked expectantly: "Brother Luotian, are you a magician too? Last time at the summer camp, you healed my burned fingers in no time..."

"You can think so." Luotian answered vaguely.

"So Brother Luotian is a magician!" Kinomoto Sakura did not think about Luotian's answer and said in an admiring tone: "No wonder Brother Luotian knows so much!"

"Fortunately, I just happened to know a little bit." Luo Tian said immediately: "But then again, Xiaoying actually believed what I said."

"Of course I believe it! Brother Luotian is a good man!" Sakura Kinomoto said simply.

"Uh...good guy?" Luotian never dreamed that the first good guy card in his life would come from Sakura Kinomoto simply to express his gratitude. For a moment, his heart was inexplicably churning.

"Yes!" Kinomoto Sakura added: "In fact, I'm not the only one who thinks so. Tomoyo and Chiharu also said that Luotian brother is a kind and gentle person!"

"Then Sakura has to thank Tomoyo and the others for me~" Luotian said with a smile.

"Yes, I will!" Sakura Kinomoto agreed happily.

"So..." Luo Tian got back to the point and asked, "Xiaoying, is there anything else you don't understand that you need me to explain?"

"No, I've heard everything else from Mercury Lamp, and I also know that the strange sound is the snoring of the guardian beast that lives in the magic book." Kinomoto Sakura was relieved and continued, "I was shocked at first, but now that I know the reason, I don't find it scary anymore."

"That's good." Luo Tian then asked, "By the way, Xiaoying, did you find it according to the snoring sound?"

"Huh? Do we still need to look for it?!" Kinomoto Sakura was surprised and said, "The sound only suddenly sounded and then disappeared. I can't be sure where it is in the house..."

"Is that so..." Luo Tian touched his cheek and said thoughtfully: "You haven't found it yet, which means the time is not right yet. Wait a little longer."

"Well, I understand!" Kinomoto Sakura responded seriously, and then asked: "By the way, Brother Luotian, do we have a chance to meet again?"

"Of course!" Luo Tian answered without thinking.

Just then, the sound of a door lock turning was heard behind me, and then Yamauchi Sakura was seen sticking her head in from outside the door.

"fall..."

"Shh..."

Luotian quickly made a gesture to keep quiet. The girl understood and shut her mouth, looking at the furnishings in the room with surprise.

The semi-finished dolls assembled on the wooden racks are placed in rows, and on the long table against the wall are exquisite dresses of various colors. In the ladder cabinet in the middle, various carving and painting tools are neatly placed, exuding a professional atmosphere.

"Really?!" Sakura Kinomoto's voice was obviously full of anticipation.

"There is always a chance. When Sakura wants to meet, just tell Mercury Lamp and she will bring you over." Luotian said.

"Yes! I understand, Brother Luotian!" Sakura Kinomoto replied happily.

"Well..." Luo Tian paused, then continued: "Xiaoying, I still have some work to do here, so let's leave it at that for now. If you have any questions, call me, or let Mercury Light bring you to see me."

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Luotian~"

"OK Bye Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Luotian looked at Yamauchi Sakura and said, "Yamauchi-san, you didn't go home?"

"Really? Sakura! Call me Sakura!" Yamauchi Sakura pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't we friends? Why are you calling me such a stranger?!"

"When did we become familiar with each other?" Luo Tian rolled his eyes. He felt that Yamauchi Sakura was even more familiar with others than Kitagawa Umi. "Sit down."

"Just now!" Yamauchi Sakura blinked her pure eyes, sat down and asked: "Aren't we good friends?"

"Is that the case? How come I didn't know about it?" Luotian walked to the cabinet on the right, took out the accessories that made up the doll, then sat down at the work table and began to polish the accessories.

"Yes!" 793 Yamauchi Sakura didn't seem to care about it. She walked over with curiosity in her eyes, "By the way, this is the workshop where you make dolls?!"

"Yes." Luo Tian said without turning his head, his hands moving skillfully.

After polishing, Luotian found some simulated silicone skin, which is a special prop used for doll skin and is very expensive.

Under the watchful eyes of Yamauchi Sakura, Luotian carefully covered the doll's hands, feet, torso, head and other accessories with simulated silicone skin, and then embedded them firmly on them through a special method, creating the illusion and touch of real skin.

After completing this step, Luo Tian connected the palms, wrists, forearms, upper arms and other accessories covered with simulated silicone skin. He also did the same with the feet, allowing their joints to move while still feeling real.

After completing the connection of the limbs, Luotian began to install eyes on the doll's head, followed by a series of processes such as eyebrow embedding, eyelid pasting, hair transplantation, etc.

However, the production process, which sounds so simple, actually took nearly three hours, of which the longest time was spent on inlaying the simulated silicone skin, which took nearly two hours.

As the puppet in Luotian's hand became more and more complete, time passed quietly. The workshop was extremely quiet. The girl watching from the side turned her gaze to the serious-looking boy from time to time.

之后又过了半个小时.

Luotian finally put down the tools in his hand, and the puppet's eyes, nose, eyebrows and ears were all complete.

"Well... let me see what the clothes look like..." Luotian picked up the order form, looked at it carefully, and then put it down.

At this time, the girl next to him finally came to her senses, her eyes full of amazement.

"It's amazing...it was made so quickly!" Yamauchi Sakura exclaimed.

"This is really a semi-finished product." Luo Tian continued, "Before transplanting hair into the doll, the doll needs to be coated with a layer of moisturizing oil, and then left under a constant temperature lamp for ten hours."

"Why do you do this?" Yamauchi Sakura asked curiously.

"Because the simulated skin looks intact, but it is actually tight. After applying the moisturizing grease and exposing it to a constant temperature light box for ten hours, the simulated skin will absorb the moisturizing grease and relax, thus ensuring that the doll's skin will not show signs of cracking."

"Wow! Luotian, you know so much!" Yamauchi Sakura couldn't help but praise.

"Not bad." Luo Tian said calmly: "These are the results of my many experiments."

"Many experiments..." Yamauchi Sakura's eyes flashed with inquiry, "Hey, Luotian, how long does it take you to make a doll?"

"Two days. It will take longer during school hours." Luotian said.

"Won't you feel bored...?" Yamauchi Sakura murmured while lying on the corner of the table.

"What about you? Don't you have anything you want to do?" Luo Tian gave an example: "For example, travel to a foreign country and eat foreign food that you have never eaten before."

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Yamauchi Sakura instantly became excited, took out the "Comorbidity Library" from the blue backpack, and decided on his own: "I wrote down everything I want to do before I die in it, and I especially allow you to accompany me to complete it!"

Chapter 276: The Arrival of Kamatsuki Suzuno

Near noon, Yamauchi Sakura left with satisfaction and joy.

At lunch

When everyone was seated, Luotian found an extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Jiaye, is this prepared for Jing Shuijiu? She is out!" Luotian reminded.

"I know, this is not prepared for Jing Shuijiu." Jiaye put the soup bowl on the dining table, then looked up and looked around, wondering: "Huh? Xiaotian, where is your classmate?"
