Dragon's Beginning kills Herzog

Chapter 19 "Sakurai's Flower"

The sun shines on the streets, bringing warmth rarely seen in winter.

A woman as gentle as the sea is waving goodbye to a strong man standing in front of a store.

The woman's appearance was originally extremely pleasing to the eye, as can be seen from the eyes of passers-by who occasionally passed by and couldn't help but glance at her.

It's a pity that when these pedestrians saw the strong man, they all involuntarily quickened their pace.

"Mei, go and come back quickly!" Ah Da looked at his Amei who insisted on going to Sakurai Department Store to purchase goods, and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, this is the safest commercial street.

At first A-mei didn't want to go to Ju's Fishery with him, so Ju Yiguang bought a shop on the commercial street as A-da's salary in advance to accommodate his sister.

The commercial street here is basically the land of the Sakurai family in the lower five of the Sheqi Bajia. With the commercial strength of the Sakurai family and the background of the Sheqi Bajia in the underworld, no one dares to make trouble here.

"Brother, wait for me at home obediently. I'll be back soon." A-mei smiled and waved her hand. She didn't have to bring the goods back by herself, so there was nothing to worry about!

Sakurai Department Store is on the side street, and after my sister handed over the list of goods to be brought in to the person in charge there, someone will bring the goods back.

Considering that bringing her brother along might scare the customers in the department store, Amei didn't let Ah Da go with her. After all, Sakurai Department Store had always taken good care of her store, and she didn't want to affect other people's business.

"Hmm~na~huh~na~" Humming an unknown tune, Amei walked to the Sakurai Department Store in the next street.

The holiday is approaching, and many shops on the commercial street have begun to close, and those employees have rushed home to prepare for a happy holiday.

There are only a few stores owned by the Sakurai family, and stores like Amei and the others whose home is here are not closed.

Scattered pedestrians walked on the street, occasionally walked into the open shops, came out quickly, shook their heads and left. At this time, if you want to buy your favorite items, you basically have no other choice except Sakurai Department Store.

Amei walked all the way to the door of Sakurai Department Store. Compared with the sparse pedestrians on their side, there are more people coming in and out here.

Every time Amei looks at Sakurai Department Store, she is full of envy. When will her small shop become a big mall like Sakurai Department Store!
A-mei doesn't have any big ambitions, and she doesn't want to go to her brother's side. She just wants to run her shop quietly.

Every time a product is sold, she has to carefully count the money.It's not to confirm whether the customer's money is less, but to enjoy the happiness in it.

Because of her childhood at the seaside, the strong involution of the fishing industry has kept her living in poverty.After all, although front-line workers like them can rely on the sea to fill their stomachs, it is difficult for others.

Especially when other fishermen crowded them out and drove them to places where fish were scarce. At that time, Ah Da had to secretly go fishing in the fertile waters while the fishermen were sleeping late at night.

The hard life of poverty did not make the two brothers and sisters go astray, but instead cultivated their noble character.Amei cherishes every day now and every penny she earns.

Because going out to sea to fish is not without danger, especially going out to sea late at night.

Whenever Ada goes out to sea, all Amei can do is stay at home and pray, praying to the sea god Mitsumi and Susanoo.

This habit has not changed until now, but the difference is that now Amei no longer prays to Mitsumami God, but prays to Susanoo God alone.

Pray that he protects his brother from getting hurt.

A-mei really didn't want her brother to work in Ju's Fishery, because she heard the rumors about the underworld.But the good life now is indeed because of that Mrs. Ju, so she is not willful.

Every time Ah Da comes back, Ah Mei is always relieved because his brother is still intact.

Thinking of this, Amei walked into Sakurai Department Store unknowingly.

"Amei, are you coming to buy again?" A smartly dressed woman in a suit, wearing round gold-rimmed glasses, gloves on her hands, greeted Amei.

"Miss Hanako, yes, please do the same this time!" Amei smiled politely and bowed slightly.The young Ms. Sakurai Hanako is the person in charge of this Sakurai department store, and she is also Amei's idol.

"This time, sister, you came at the right time! Next time you come, you won't see me." Sakurai Hanako took the list of goods and said with a smile.

"Ah? Miss Hanako, are you leaving?" Amei was used to dealing with Sakurai Hanako, so she was a little sad to hear that she was leaving.

Sakurai Hanako is one of Amei's few friends, and she is the only one who can see her here at any time.

"Yeah, I can't help it. My father is engaged to me, and I'm going home." Hanako Sakurai said helplessly, "It's a pity, but I think we will meet again."

"Well, Ms. Hanako, I wish you happiness!" Hearing that Ms. Hanako is engaged, the innocent sister sent her blessings.

Sakurai Hanako turned around and walked in front, "It's still the same as before, sister, you just need to sign, let's go, go to my office, let's talk slowly."

Amei followed Sakurai Hanako to her office, as long as she signed, she could leave.Usually, she would stay in Sakurai Hanako's office to chat with her, but this time it was no good, her brother was still at home.

"I can't accompany Ms. Hanako this time. My brother is back, so I can't let him stay at home alone." Amei said apologetically.

"Oh, it's okay, sister, let's talk again next time we have a chance." Sakurai Hanako pushed her glasses and nodded understandingly.

Walking to Sakurai Hanako's office, in the warm room, the younger sister who came in loosened the scarf, took off the gloves, and put them in her pocket.

Seeing that Sakurai Hanako's office is spotless, and every time she comes here it looks like a brand new appliance, Amei wonders if she has a cleanliness freak.

Sakurai Hanako didn't take off her gloves, she picked up the teacup beside her and poured a cup of tea, "I put the form on the table, please sign it, sister, I'll pour you some tea"

"Thank you!" A-mei picked up the pen and form on the table, skillfully wrote her name and the name of the shop "Ada Shop".

"Here." Sakurai Hanako poured a cup of tea, wrapped her hands in white gloves, and handed the tea to Amei.

"Thank you!" Thanks again, Amei took the tea and took a small sip.Although she is not thirsty, but this is the tea poured by the host, and she can't refuse it.

The tea-flavored fragrance filled Amei's mouth, bringing a burst of warmth. Drinking such a cup of clear tea in winter made Amei feel that her body was relaxed a lot, and she even felt a little drowsy.

"Then, I'll leave first, Miss Hanako!" She stood up unsteadily, as if she was drunk, her steps were unsteady.

The smile on Sakurai Hanako's face disappeared, and she threw the gloves in the trash can, and looked at Amei with disgust, "It's so dirty!"

Before A-mei could hear what Hanako Sakurai was saying, she felt her head spin and she collapsed, unconscious.

The water washed Sakurai Hanako's hands over and over again, as if there was something dirty on her hands that couldn't be washed off.

"It's such a pity that we won't see each other again, country girl!"
