I Don't Really Have Masochistic Tendencies

"55555～" "Stop fighting, hero." "The shop is just for buying steamed buns. If you are hungry, you can tell me and I will give them to you for free, but if you keep beating yourself up..." A burst of pleading came from the quaint commercial street, which made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears. People who didn't know it thought that the store owner had suffered a lot, but the fact made people look at him. I saw a plainly dressed shopkeeper kneeling down to beg for mercy while holding a self-slapping 'idiot'. He had been doing business for many years and had seen beggars and thieves. This was the first time he slapped himself in the mouth like this. The shopkeeper was completely impressed by this weird behavior. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
