Chapter 354. My Neighbor Totoro's 'Gift'~~~ (First Update! Please Decide~~~)
Chapter 354. My Neighbor Totoro's 'Gift'~~~ (First Update! Please Decide~~~)
In the fairy tales passed down from mouth to mouth in Daoguo, there is an animal named chinchilla.
They are spirits of nature and forests.
Usually responsible for guarding the forest, wandering in the forest at night.
This is what Ainz said when he was questioned by Kamisaka Hiroto...
suck~~~
Da~~~
Kamisaka Hiroto couldn't help being amazed when he saw the Totoro drinking tea in front of him.
It is very polite, no less than the way humans drink tea.
The paw gently holds the teacup which is one size bigger.
After sucking a little with his mouth, he slowly put the teacup on the table.
"Woooo~~"
Its eyes are narrowed, and the corners of its mouth are curved, and the sound that comes out of its mouth is also full of obvious joy.
Very similar to the posture of human beings.
Ainz, who was beside it, held his jawbone with his hand, and shook his head from time to time.
It looked like he was wondering why.
"I didn't expect to see Totoro in the store."
Limuru also broke away from the game.
After Ainz left the game, he thought something was wrong, so he also temporarily quit the game.
As soon as it woke up from the game, it saw "Qi Er San" and met the curious eyes of Totoro.
Limulu was taken aback at the time, but soon calmed down.
Coincidentally, it also recognized Totoro~~~
"Is Totoro hard to see?"
Kamisaka Hiroto heard the emotion and surprise in Rimuru's words.
He didn't know much about the Totoro in front of him.
So there are many questions.
"It is said that chinchillas are creatures that only children can see, and adults cannot see them at all."
Ainz's tone was also somewhat complicated and nostalgic.
He was able to know Totoro because of the fairy tales his grandma told him when he was a child.
Although half of his life was bad, the first half was slightly better.
"Well, that's right, I remember the fairy tale books I read when I was young. There were stories about Totoro. Only children with a pure heart can see them. They will make friends with children with a pure heart, and they will impose various help~~”
"Ah~~~ I can see Totoro now, does that mean my heart is pure?"
Limuru said with a little joy.
Kamisaka Hiroto smiled helplessly.
"Probably not."
Ainz simply gave his friend a negative.
This made Limuru a little annoyed for a while.
Kamisaka Hiroto looked at Totoro, and he couldn't help but have his own thoughts in his heart.
Fairy tales are fairy tales after all, and some degree of credibility cannot be guaranteed.
If Totoro really only appeared in front of the children, it should be thanks to the small shop that everyone can see it at this moment.
"Hmm... My Neighbor Totoro... I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."
Hisako rubbed his head in distress.
Erina beside him was also in deep thought.
"Perhaps there are fairy tales about Totoro in every world. 11
Limulu said with a smile.
Its words have been recognized by everyone.
Although everyone in the store belongs to different worlds, there are still similarities in many places.
Before Ainz and Rimuru crossed over, they were also living in the modern Dao Kingdom.
It's still very similar to the world where the shop lives...
"It's an amazing creature."
Thor held his arm and looked at Totoro curiously.
There was a strong look of novelty and interest in those golden eyes.
This made Totoro tremble unnaturally.
Its hair trembled like waves, and its expression became somewhat alert.
Kamisaka Hiroto 'Duang' gave Dragon Niang a sword.
"Don't scare him.
"Oh."
Thor responded a little helplessly.
"Aw~~~"
Totoro sat on the seat and howled.
This is the signal of parting.
Under everyone's gaze, Totoro stood up.
The moment its chubby body stood up, it bounced with a 'gurgle'.
"Is this going to leave?"
Limulu looked at Totoro and asked with some reluctance.
"After all, it still belongs to the forest, and it should not be used in a place where humans are.
Ainz was just guessing out of thin air right now.
After all, his knowledge of Totoro comes from the fairy tales he has read.
So he can only compare the behavior of the chinchilla at the moment with the above.
"It's really leaving."
Kamisaka Hiroto said affirmatively.
Ainz and Rimuru looked at Kamisaka Hiroto in surprise.
"Kamisaka (store manager), can you understand what it says?"
Kamisaka Hiroto nodded slightly.
This immediately aroused the amazement and envy of Ainz and Rimuru.
In everyone's heart, there will be the same dream, no matter men, women, young or old, this fantasy will exist.
That is the ability to communicate unimpededly with things outside of humans.
This is a lifetime dream for many...
Totoro is standing, it is now the tallest in the shop.
Because Ainz is still sitting~
There was distress on its chubby face.
Those round eyes looked at the empty plate in front of him, which was the plate that Kamisaka Hiroto had just filled with fava beans.
It looks like this makes everyone suspicious.
"What's wrong?"
Kamisaka Hiroto asked curiously.
"~~~"
Totoro howled again.
A smile appeared on Kamisaka Hiroto's face.
He shook his head slightly.
"It's just a plate of broad beans, it doesn't matter."
Kamisaka Hiroto didn't expect that what Totoro was thinking about just now was how to pay the bill.
Totoro surprisingly understands human rules.
But it's just a pile of fava beans, and Kamisaka Hiroto won't use this to embarrass a chinchilla.
Totoro shook his head cutely.
Its eyes looked elsewhere in the store....
Its eyes widened when it saw the flowers on the walls and ceiling.
Those flowers are flowers infused with fragrance and demon power, and they will never wither.
Under everyone's curious eyes, Totoro walked to the side of the bar.
The small shop has been merged. The bar counter is the original storefront of Kamisakaya, and the hall with four tables is the storefront of Nishinomiya flower shop.
My Neighbor Totoro is standing right next to the 'Original Kamisaka House'.
Its chubby body bent down as if bowing, and the two paws hugged together when they were still bending down.
Then it straightened up slowly, and the paws that were hugging each other spread out and raised high...
It looked like it was stretched.
Kamisaka Hiroto couldn't understand the opponent's movements, but he felt a very strange feeling.
It's like lying on the grass in the sunny spring and basking in the wind.
Easy..…
He is not alone.
Everyone in the store felt this way, except Fafnir who was still playing the game~~~
Totoro's action doesn't just stop once it's done, it's still going on....
Under everyone's puzzled and amazed gazes, the grass and flowers that spread on the walls and ceiling shone with light.
Like the light of the taillights of fireflies on a summer night.
Dots of green light emerged in the void for unknown reasons.
The original lights in the store became a little dim in the green light floating in the void.
Kamisaka Hiroto looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
Those green lights like fireflies gathered in the air, really like a group of fireflies flying by the pond in summer night.
Extremely beautiful and dreamy.
These light spots slowly merged into the flowers and grass, and those flowers and grass became brighter.
They also gave off a faint shimmer.
Kamisaka Hiroto asked Thor to turn off the lights in the shop.
He thought it would be better to turn off the lights at this moment...
snap~
The lights in the store were turned off.
The only light is the fluorescent light floating in the air and the shimmer emitted by the flowers and plants.
The dark little shop became slightly brighter because of these lights.
But it's also dark.
It's just that at this moment, it feels like being in a dream.
Fluorescence that shone like starlight in the dark...
The faint shimmer emerging from the surface of flowers and plants...
Everyone's face is bright and dark, like stars twinkling in the dark night.
At this moment, it is like being by a pond on a summer night.
The quiet pool water did not make the slightest sound, only a group of fireflies were dancing in the quiet world.
They are the only light in the eternal night of 0.9, the only life, and the only dream...
Finally, Totoro stopped its movements.
It looked at the scene in front of it, opened its mouth wide, and its eyes were full of satisfaction and happiness.
Those fluorescent lights danced around it, but it blew them away in one breath.
It turned around to face the people in the shop.
The big snow-white teeth are equally bright even in the dark.
Totoro stretched out its paw and waved at everyone, which meant farewell.
Afterwards, it walked away with a 'slap, crackle' on its short legs.
When going out, it still squeezed out with a 'gudong'.
No way, it's too fat~~~
Heck, when I was watching Hayao Miyazaki's Totoro, it was still a thing when I was a child.
Really like Totoro.
The works of the older generation of animation workers, although the picture may not be as good as the current animation.
But each one can be read carefully, many things can only be understood when you are older
My Neighbor Totoro represents the innocence that can never go back...
Ask for flowers, ask for comments, ask for rewards, ask for self-determination~~~.
