Chapter 5 - 5

When he opens the box from within his bag and takes out a beautiful, gilded box of what looked like gold that was adorned in which it has carved engravings and symbols that were made around it, of silver colours, with ancient and strange symbols, predating China.

In which they were coloured, with gold, white, and red colours in the finish.

It's a foot wide and long, maybe a little more than half that deep.

That girl who said she was smart, who looked curiously at the inscriptions, which were carved, she wants her right away.

That she wants it, just because not just because it's beautiful, it would be hers, she would do anything for it, because she knew it was hers, that box, which was just like the one she saw in her boss's antique shop, Mr. Togashi Hakuho.

Yes, she realized that she would be an object of some of the antique dealer's customers.

Yes, it was more than something valuable, much loved, that had been lost so long ago that it was almost forgotten, but now it had been found again.

It would be around the ancient period well into the period of Qin Shin Huang which was between November with the imperial symbol of November/December 260 BC, - September 10, 210 BC. C., where it's like she owned the box in another life, where she was a princess or something.

- This is from the period of Emperor Qin. - She said admiringly.

- Well, for that year. - He said.

- How can it be so preserved. - She said. - How it is? – Péngyǒu asked admired in a muffled voice.

- This is one of the few treasures of China from the Chin period. - He said.

- Here there are sweets, beans, among old coins. - He said.

- One of the button boxes, there were more than ten of them. – He tells her.

- I'll give you one of them. - He said.

- This is your button box. - He said. - She will give you everything you want to conquer.

He just didn't say that it was anything but eternal life, with that, he tilts her, and she sees the little buttons on top, six in rows of three of them, and on each side, there is a solitary button at each end.

There are nine in total, when in pairs they are red, yellow, white, and green, metal, and black.

Each of the buttons on the ends is red, while the other is black, on the side and on top there was also a small lever on the sides of the box, and what looks like a hole in the middle.

- Each of the buttons, being me, they are difficult to press. – While Yoshihiro explains to her.

- So, you have to use your thumb and squeeze hard, which is a good thing. - He said.

- So, believe me. - He said. – That you won't want to squeeze any by mistake, not at all. - He said. - Mainly the black one.

Péngyǒu forgot to be afraid, that girl at that time, was fascinated by the box, and when the man in the jacket hands it to her, she accepts it.

When she was expecting it to be heavy because gold is a heavy metal, which after all, you couldn't even tell what was in it, but it isn't.

Even so, when she picked it up, she saw that it was light enough that Péngyǒu could wobble in her fingers, so she runs her finger along the gleaming, slightly convex surface of the buttons and can almost feel the colours illuminating her skin.

- Tell me, what does she do? - She questioned. - So why? - She questioned.

- I'll go into detail about each of them later. - He said.

- So, now, look at me, and pay attention to the small levers, between the inscriptions and the grooves, in which they were made engravings.

- Being that they're a lot easier to pull than the buttons are to push with your Pinky.

- So, just pull the one on the left, next to the red button, the box will release a chocolate in the shape of an animal.

- So how can I do this. – Péngyǒu, he asked.

- I know this is different from accepting candy from strangers, we are both not strangers and children. – Yoshihiro.

Then he rolls his eyes in a way that makes her laugh.

- We two, we are not strangers, dear, Péngyǒu. – Yoshihiro said.

- I didn't say that what I wanted to say was that I don't eat chocolate. - She said.

- I for one don't eat this summer. - She said.

- Explain to me how I'm going to lose weight if I eat sweets? - She questioned.

- Can you believe it, once I start, I can't stop, and the worst kind of candy is chocolate is the worst, I'm like a chocoholic. - She said.

- Well, you know, it's part of these types of sweets, chocolate is the king of happiness. - He said.

- The more you eat, the more you crave it. - He said.

- Even if this is one of them, which is inside that box of buttons, and it releases true happiness. – When Yusuke Yoshihiro.

- Since these little buds, not much bigger than beans, and extremely sweet... you'll just eat them, you won't need any more.

- It will only be yours, nobody else's - He said. – Whenever you will want them in all your meals, but you won't want to repeat anything.

- Even if also, from that day on, when you won't want any dessert. - He said.

- Just them and no one else, mostly late-night ones that go straight to the waist. - He said.

When that happens, Péngyǒu, who until that summer had a habit of making peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches before going to bed, knows exactly what he means.

What's more, she's always starving after her morning run.

- Those are those weird diet products. - She said.

- These that fill your belly and then you pee a lot. - She said.

- I heard of something like this my grandma tried this thing and ended up getting sick after a week.

" No. It's just chocolate. But it's pure. It's not like the chocolate bars in the supermarket. Try it.

She is doubtful, but not for long.

= So, you put a pen, or you put a toothpick or a small stick, towards the lever (it's too small to operate easily with any of the others, even your little finger, you can try, but it will be difficult. – He said.

- Then you pull it, with that a little door opens, revealing a narrow metal shelf appears, in which there is a chocolate tiger, the size of a bean, just like Mr. Yoshihiro said.

Currently, she takes the chocolate looking in awe.
