This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The next day, Jingbei High School.

An ordinary day, an ordinary day at school.

The rumors about Beichuan Temple in the north of Beijing are becoming more and more mysterious now.

Because Beichuanji skipped classes too many times.

He has not come to class for at least a month since the beginning of the school year.

So does this already reflect that the school is no longer able to discipline Beichuanji?

Some people even say that Beichuanji once entered the principal's office with a knife...

Therefore, both the junior and senior students are looking at each other, and they are even more afraid of Beichuan Temple.

Little girls like Yui Mizuki and Asuka Ando who had offended Kitagawa Temple to some extent in the past, now they always stay four to five meters away when they see Kitagawa Temple.

There is another layer of haze added to the name of the Great Demon King of Beijing and North.

Under this situation, Beichuanji completely ignored other people's eyes and maintained his usual pace.

In this process, time finally came to afternoon.

Kitagawaji said hello to Mirai Kamiya and then walked directly to Hitomi Asamiya's class.

"Asamiya-san."

"Ah...Kitagawa-san, please wait a moment." As soon as Kitagawaji appeared at the door of the class, Asamiya Hitomi's movements to pack the textbooks became panicked.

She randomly stuffed the neat textbooks on the table into her schoolbag, then trotted to Beichuan Temple and lowered her head: "Long wait, Beichuan-san. I, let's go."

Asamiya Hitomi and Kitagawaji walked all the way to the school gate. She took a small breath until she was away from other people's strange eyes.

Just now, she and Kitagawa Temple attracted a lot of attention when they walked in the school. Many people looked at them, which made her, who is naturally afraid of strangers, also tremble.

Now that she was finally out of sight of her classmates, she could finally speak a few words to Kitagawaji:

"Kitagawa-san. Do you really want me to say that to your seniors?"

"Yes. Just tell her what I called you last night." Kitagawaji replied without hesitation.

Kitagawa Temple actually called Asamiya Hitomi again last night. He and Asamiya Hitomi re-communicated and decided that he would go to Happiness Truth Church to check the situation on Asamiya's behalf.

"That's...okay."

Hitomi Asamiya reluctantly agreed: "But...Kitagawa-san, you must not do anything dangerous. That church...sounds a little wrong."

She looked uneasy.

After hearing this, Kitagawa Temple just nodded, with a comforting tone: "Don't worry, do I look like the kind of person who is easily involved in danger?"

"Uh..." Asamiya Hitomi tilted her head.

Since Beichuanji said it, I believe he shouldn't have much of a problem.

She pulled the hem of her skirt with both hands, thought for a while and nodded vigorously: "Yes, I believe Kitagawa-san."

The commercial street is only a few minutes away from here, and Kitagawaji also took advantage of these few minutes to exchange words with Hitomi Asamiya to prevent her from being nervous and accidentally revealing anything to the senior.

The two of them walked forward for a while, and finally Asamiya Hitomi stopped at one of the entrances of the mall, turned her head and introduced Kitagawa Temple stammeringly:

"This...this is part of our family's property."

"???" Beichuan Temple.

Didn't Asamiya Hitomi say that she works part-time in her own supermarket?

But what she just said...

Kitagawaji glanced behind Hitomi Asamiya.

Is this entire department store owned by the Asamiya family?

As if she sensed something was wrong with Kitagawaji's gaze, Asamiya Hitomi hurriedly put her hands in front of her and shook them vigorously.

She blushed: "No, it's not what I said... I mean... all the stores here have been rented out... and... my family just opened a supermarket here. That’s all.”

‘Let them all out’, ‘That’s all’, ‘Just open a supermarket’...

Kitagawaji glanced at Hitomi Asamiya again, and after a while he nodded and said, "I understand, Asamiya-san, let's go to the place where you work first."

"well."

Seeing that Kitagawaji didn't care, Asamiya Hitomi put her hand on her heart with peace of mind and continued to guide him.

Take the escalator and walk to the shopping area on the second floor.

Half of the land here belongs to Asamiya's supermarket.

Maybe this is the world of rich women, right?

Kitagawaji was led into the employee-only passage by Hitomi Asamiya. Before he entered the employee lounge, he heard a friendly greeting from the front: "Asamiya?"

A college woman with long wavy hair and wearing a light blue supermarket employee uniform was standing in the employee aisle, looking at Hitomi Asamiya with a smile on her face.

Presumably this is the senior that Asamiya Hitomi keeps mentioning, right?

But compared to the kind and friendly face of this senior, Asamiya Hitomi felt a little timid. She bowed: "Hello, Tsuruta-senpai."

"I haven't seen you much these days, Asamiya. How are you? Have you considered the topic I mentioned before?"

She walked up to Asamiya Hitomi with a smile and asked directly.

"that..."

Asamiya Hitomi looked troubled.

At times like this, it seemed like she couldn't say no words at all.

Seeing her completely unreliable look, Beichuanji shook his head inwardly.

It seems that Asamiya Hitomi's part-time job career will continue for a while.

With this thought, he stood in front of Asamiya Hitomi and spoke calmly: "Hello, you must be Tsurutaya-senpai, right?"

"Who are you...?"

Tsurutaya frowned and looked at Kitagawaji.

She had the impression that she didn't know the young man in front of her.

"I wonder if you are free after get off work. I want to talk to you about the Happiness Truth Sect."

Tsurutaya blinked in astonishment and asked incomprehensively: "...where did you know about the Happiness Truth Sect..."

Before she could finish her words, Kitagawaji had already answered: "I heard some about the teachings of Happiness Truth from Asamiya-san, so I became interested and wanted to ask about the specific situation."

"Really..." Tsurutaya pinched his chin, thought for a moment and nodded with a smile: "Of course, I'm completely free after get off work. If you have the intention to understand the teachings of the Happy Truth Religion, then I I will spare no effort to answer your questions."

After saying this, Tsurutaya's tone was subconsciously mixed with a hint of reverence and a hint of fanaticism:

"After all...the pursuit of happiness is something everyone does."

She chatted some more with Hitomi Asamiya and Kitagawaji, and then went to work with satisfaction.

"Then Kitagawa... Shima-kun, just wait for me in the employee lounge for a while. I have already told the supermarket owner that he will not make things difficult for you." Asamiya Hitomi also bowed to Kitagawaji.

It's still some time before get off work, so Kitagawaji can only kill time in the employee lounge for the time being.

About an hour later, Tsurutaya and Hitomi Asamiya returned to the employee lounge. During this period, Kitagawaji could still hear Tsurutaya analyzing and explaining the teachings of Happiness Shinrikyo to Hitomi Asamiya.

Asamiya Hitomi had a wry smile on her face, but she only responded and did not agree directly.

Hitomi Asamiya came to the seat next to Kitagawa Temple and sat down, while Tsurutaya sat opposite the two of them:

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Kitajima." Tsurutaya sat down with a smile: "The business in the store is a bit good today, and the shift is a bit late."

It seems that no matter how nervous Asamiya Hitomi is, she still hasn't forgotten about her kana.

Beichuan Temple felt a little at ease.

The pseudonym "Kitashima Temple" used here is a shackle that Kitagawa Temple puts on its own identity.

Even if his intention to investigate the Happiness Truth Religion is revealed, all the other party can trace is the pseudonym of "Bei Dao".

After all, unlike facing resentful spirits, this time Kitagawa Temple is facing a group of old people with brains and IQs. He does not want to involve Kitagawa Eri and the others who live a peaceful life because of this investigation.

As for the pseudonym and identity... Kitagawa Temple has called Okano Ryoko all night to help with it, and the relevant certificates can be produced.

Tsurutaya glanced at Kitagawa Temple and then at Hitomi Asamiya: "I heard Asamiya tell you about Mr. Kitajima. You want to know about our Happiness Truth Sect, right?"

"That's right." Kitagawaji nodded, his voice unchanged: "Miss Asamiya is not that interested in the Church of Happy Truth, but I heard a few words about it from her, so I was a little curious and wanted to know more about it."

"I see." Tsurutaya nodded.

Tsurutaya actually already knew that Hitomi Asamiya was not interested in the Happiness Shinrikyo Cult. After all, she had been declined many invitations before, so she was not blind.

But since Hitomi Asamiya can't be poached, it's no problem to poach her good friend.

Even if Asamiya Hitomi is still wary of her, she can't be that wary of Bei Daoji, right?

Tsurutaya was thinking in his mind, and the smile on his face became brighter: "Then let's get back to business."

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Mr. Bei Dao, does he have any faith?"

Do you have faith...?

Beichuan Temple groaned.

He is the believer of tens of thousands of members of the Beichuan Goshen Society, so why should we talk about faith?

It's just that it's impossible for Beichuan Temple to answer like this here.

The image to be created here should be...

Kitagawa Sisei opened his mouth and said: "I am an atheist. I do not believe that there are spirits or things like supernatural and superpowers in this world."

His face was serious when he spoke, as if that was really what he was saying.

Seeing Kitagawaji like this, Tsurutaya also smiled cheerfully:

"In fact, before the miracle happened, I was also a staunch atheist - there are no spirits, superpowers, or supernatural things in this world. We should believe in science... This is the theorem of how everything works. .”

but--

Tsurutaya changed the subject: "What I want to talk about is not gods, spirits... these ethereal things. The faith I am talking about——"

She lowered her tone, unable to conceal her enthusiasm and obsession: "It's happiness."

“The pursuit of happiness is something everyone wants to do.”

Tsurutaya spread her palms and looked at the neatly divided palm lines. She continued: "A perfect partner, a healthy body, excellent talents, money...these are the happiness that people pursue, and the Happiness Truth Religion is like this A church that pursues ultimate happiness!”

The enthusiasm in her tone was rising, and she could no longer suppress her distorted tone.

She asked Kitagawaji: "Mr. Kitajima, do you think how happiness is produced? Do you know how to produce happiness?"

This question made Kitagawaji frown, but he simply answered: "Happiness comes from desire. Without desire, there is no happiness. And how to obtain happiness... The moment desire is satisfied, happiness will naturally come. produced."

Yes, the prerequisite for happiness is people's own desires. Without something that you desire or want to get, it is naturally impossible to obtain happiness.

"That's right!" Tsurutaya glanced at Kitagawa Temple appreciatively: "If our desires cannot be satisfied, we will suffer, but the moment our desires are satisfied, we will feel happier because of the previous pain!"

This is what is called remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet. Thinking of the painful times in the past and looking at the happy times now, a sense of happiness will naturally arise in your heart.

Tsurutaya grabbed the hand of Kitagawaji: "Mr. Kitajima understands, right? Happiness is always accompanied by pain, and pain will make us happier! Therefore, when pursuing happiness, we have to suffer! Give us the most Deep pain gives us the sweetness of happiness..."

Beichuan Temple can feel it.

When the other party said these words, his body was actually trembling with pleasure.

"Pain is happiness, happiness is pain, and pain must be experienced before happiness."

Tsurutaya let go of Kitagawaji's hand.

Seeing the comfortable look on her face, Beichuanji didn't bother to pour cold water on her.

It is undoubtedly a fallacy to equate happiness with pain.

If you say that happiness and pain are opposites, but also dependent, Kitagawa Temple agrees with this.

But if it is completely interpreted as happiness, it is simply unreasonable.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little lost, Mr. Kitajima." Tsurutaya coughed twice and his eyes flashed: "In short, this is the theory of happiness of our Happiness Truth Sect. Mr. Kitajima, you have to believe me, you are in pain right now. It's all just temporary, join the Happiness Truth Sect, and we will let you experience the ultimate happiness in this world."

Beichuan Temple pondered and induced the other party to say: "Is it true that only by joining the Happiness Truth Cult can you experience the ultimate happiness? Is there any connection between these? Rather... what is the purpose of such an ethereal thing as happiness? How can you give it to me?"

Yes, happiness is elusive in nature. Is it possible that after joining that church, the other party will be able to give him what Beichuan Temple wants?

This is undoubtedly unrealistic.

Human desires are inherently endless, and it is simply unrealistic to want to experience the spiritual pleasure of ‘happiness’ endlessly.

"Well..." A trace of hesitation flashed in Tsurutaya's eyes.

Obviously she was hesitating whether she should tell Kitagawa Temple and their Happy Truth Church to pursue happiness.

Seeing this, Beichuan Temple struck while the iron was hot:

"If Ms. Tsuruta can tell me the specific reason, it is not impossible for me to join the Happy Truth Church."

This time... Tsurutaya finally felt a little moved.
