Chiisai Shoppu 1My name is Kazama Shohei. I am 15 years old, and I begin life as a high school freshman tomorrow, which at the same time, the local flower shop would've ceased business. A week ago, I started helping out there, but it wasn't just me, there was also Momokawa Hikari, the kindest person that you'll ever meet. 3 days before these 2 things, her father left, and she and her mother are suffering, and their vast amount of wealth was going down the gutter. However, once these 3 days pass, something tells me it will change everything...THE PLANT FROM OUTER SPACEOne day at the flower shop, a man comes in."Hello, I would like to purchase some carna
Chiisai Shoppu 2LIFE ENERGYIt was a good day at the flower shop. Business was booming since Hikari II showed up. Shohei would take some flowers, Hikari would wrap them up, the customer would get his/her flowers, and Mr. Gardenia would get his/her money and put it in the register. Later that day, work hours were over, and the shop raked in a lot of money."Excellent! We raked in a lot of money today!" exclaimed Gardenia."And it's all thanks to Shohei!""No, don't thank me, thank Hikari II for being the main attraction!""Let's celebrate! Dinner's on me!" said Gardenia as Hikari steps out with him."Wait up for me, guys! I have to take Hikari II home and t
Chiisai Shoppu 3The DentistOne day at the Kazama residence, Shohei was feeding Hikari II some flies and beetles."More! I want some more flies and beetles!""Sit tight, I'll find some more!"Shohei leaves his bedroom. Jiro and Reiko barge in seconds later."Why are we in our big brother's room?""Because I'm bored!"Hikari II thought to itself, "Uh-oh, it's Shohei's larval twin siblings. They better not mess with even one spore on me.""Hey sis, there's that stupid plant that Shohei tends to all the time!"Hikari II retaliates with a bite, but Jiro gets his finger out of the way right before it got the chance."Yow! Apparently, my stupid brother t
Chiisai Shoppu 4One night at the jailhouse, a jailbreak ensues."Stop them! They're escaping!" a guard shouted.The prison guards try to stop 3 escapees, but they get beaten up by them. One had a flowing black mullet and reddish brown eyes. One was really tall and had auburn hair with long bangs covering his eyes. And one was the opposite sex of the other two, with magenta hair and blue eyes."We did it! We've successfully escaped! Orin-sempai is going to be so proud!" the escapee with the mullet said."Duh, we are great!" said the dumb tall escapee."We aren't out of the woods yet, boys. Security is tight." said the female escapee.As more guards try to
Chiisai Shoppu 5"It is snowing in Tokyo." Ronnette said."Everyone is singing karaoke." Crystal said."And they're eating cake!" Chiffon said."In other words, it's CHRISTMAS!" they said in unison.~~~~~~~~Christmas is right around the corner, and the flower shop employees get a well-deserved break at a hot springs. Since they are of opposite gender, a wall is put between the mens' side and the womens' side."Aaah~ I really needed a nice dip in a hot spring after working so hard." said Shohei in a content manner."Yow!" shouted Daisuke, who just got in. "It's so hot! And now... oh yes, that hits the spot!""I'm like a potato swimming in a delicious
Chiisai Shoppu 6"Hatsuyume. The new year." said Ronnette.Crystal said, "The holiday involves dreams.""If you dream about an eggplant, a hawk, or Mt. Fuji, you'll have good luck on the year you dreamt of any of those." said Chiffon.And in unison, they said, "However, on the eve of this Hatsuyume, Shohei isn't so lucky..."HATSUYUME FEVEROne morning at Shohei's house, Shohei is lying in his bed, not looking so well. His mother, wearing a mask over her mouth, holds an oral thermometer."39.4. Well, it looks like you have a fever. All you can do today is rest." his mother said. "I'll go make tea now. A good 8 cups will flush out your illness and reinvi
Chiisai Shoppu 7VALENTINE'S DAYOne morning at school, blushing girls are putting chocolates and love notes in the boys' lockers. Shohei watches as this happens."Valentine's Day. Girls show affection by giving a boy they love some chocolate." Shohei thought to himself. "I've never had been given chocolate as a gift from Hikari before... but what if she doesn't like me as much as I like her?"Just then, Hikari walks by in the hallway."Hi, Hikari!""Can't talk now, Shohei. Sorry.""But today is Valentine's Day.""I'm a little busy right now.""Busy?""No questions! See you in class!"Shohei lowers his head and sighs. He thought to himself, "Why won
Chiisai Shoppu 8One morning in the spring, the city is painted with the glow of the morning sun and the pink color of the cherry trees. The breeze wafts cherry blossom petals all around. A petal ends up riding on a breeze that rolls gently into Shohei's bedroom window. Shohei was sound asleep in his white tank top and blue boxers, smiling. Apparently, he was dreaming about Hikari. However, his sweet dream was rudely interrupted when the petal landed by his nose, making him sneeze himself awake. Shohei then picks up the petal."A cherry blossom petal..."Shohei peers out the window above the headboard to his bed."Wow... the cherry trees look so beautiful
Chiisai Shoppu 9THE HOT SUMMER DAYIt was a sunny day in Tokyo. No, really. It's a hot day because summer began not too long ago that year. Today's date is July 23rd. The mailman puts the mail in the Kazamas' mailbox."Mail call!"Shohei steps outside to get the mail."God, it's hot out here! I feel hotter than a hawk claw pepper!" Shohei groaned.Hikari comes by and says, "Hey Shohei.""Hi Hikari.""It's so hot, that Mr. Ogata just doesn't feel like teaching today. The principal, on the other hand, wanted to go to Sapporo where it's cooler.""So there's no school today?""No. I'm burning up, can I please come inside?""Of course you can!"The two
Chiisai Shoppu 10What is the world coming to? I know I can be unlucky sometimes, but this is ludicrous beyond belief! Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'll abridge what has happened in my life. I'm Kazama Shohei, 15 years old, now 16 years old as of a few months ago. About a year ago, I bought a plant to save the flower shop and win the heart of Hikari. The plant's name is Hikari II, and it feeds on my life energy in order to grow, but when I got so tired, it had to eat bugs and meat like a normal carnivorous plant. However, time after time, Two-chan would get the craving for life energy, and believe me, this has helped me in a few sticky situations, but one summe
Chiisai Shoppu: Souls?My name is Kazama Shohei. I'm 16 years old, and now a sophomore in high school. Last year, I bought a strange plant named Hikari II, named after my sweetest Hikari-chan. Over the year, the plant has grown and helped me out with difficult situations, but once it got too big, I had to leave it at Mr. Gardenia's flower shop. I stopped feeding it life energy, its primary source of food, and it from now on eats bugs and meat like any normal venus flytrap. Today, things were calm. Not much business, but we're still going strong.SOULS?A sobbing Mrs. Koiyama comes in the shop."My dog got hit by a truck and died. Can I buy some lilies?""Aww...
C.S.: The Meek Shall Inherit"Hikari II tires of eating bugs and meat, and wants to ingest more life energy, so it suggests that Shohei should kill Orin so that it can eat his soul." said Ronnette."Hikari temporarily gets amnesia and Orin convinces her that he's her boyfriend." said Crystal."Shohei comes into Orin's office to kill him, but it backfires, leading to a chase and the Sharks' end at the pier as Orin and Sango confess their love for each other." said Chiffon."That was part one of the finale, and let's get cracking in part 2!" the trio said in unison.THE MEEK SHALL INHERITAt the pier, Shohei was watching as the Sharks have died. As their souls begin t
C.S.: Don't Feed the PlantsWell, this is how all of this ends up. I, Kazama Shohei, a 16 year old owner of the flower shop, after my boss died at 73 of a heart attack. I know all of you have heard my backstory before, but this is the last time I'm telling you. It all started when I bought Hikari II last year. It is revealed to eat life energy. But whenever I got tired, it'll have to make do with what any normal Venus flytrap would eat. However, when summer came, it got too big, so I left it at the flower shop. And, well, one thing lead to another. First, Orin and his gang die, and then a robber, and now, as I said before, my boss. It's only a matter of time before I cr
