Chapter 72: Bullying me
The coffee shop fell silent.
Touka Kirishima, Renji Yomo, Nishiki Nishio and others... they were all in the cafe.
— Sorry, she's been through a bit of grief recently and is somewhat unstable — " Renji Yomo, the coffee shop manager, stepped forward and apologized.
— This guy... Touka Kirishima whispered, looking at Su Xiao in horror.
The ghouls in Anteiku were different from other ghouls. As a rule, they didn't hunt humans and only ate the bodies of those who had committed suicide.
Pulling her short blue hair into a bun, Touka Kirishima hesitated, but then stepped forward and acted as a waitress.
In Anteiku, all the employees were ghouls.
And it was a place for ghouls.
The coffee shop's manager, Renji Yomo, was an "SSS" class ghoul.».
As for the coffee shop owner, he killed too many people when he was young, and ended up opening this coffee shop in the 20th district when he got older.
He wanted to let the ghouls live in harmony with humans.
Su Xiao sat down at the bar, while Juzo Suzuya looked around curiously.
— Guests, what would you like to order? The coffee shop owner's gray hair was neatly combed, his clothes were neat, and his face looked very friendly. He looked like a model old gentleman.
The strangest thing about him was that his eyes were closed.
— Since we're in a coffee shop, we'd like to have a cup of coffee. I've heard that your coffee is very good.
Su Xiao didn't come here to fight. He just wanted information.
He hadn't seen Kaneki Ken at the cafe, so there were two excuses. The meaning of the former was that Kaneki Ken hadn't come here yet, or perhaps he had already been taken by the Aogiri Tree, and Su Xiao assumed that the latter had happened.
— Please wait a moment, " the coffee shop owner nodded. He recognized Su Xiao, so he decided to personally greet Su Xiao, the Grim Reaper.
Touka Kirishima held out a towel and placed it on the counter in front of Su Xiao, then wanted to leave.
— Wait, " Su Xiao suddenly said, and Touka Kirishima's body tensed.
— What's the matter, guest?" Touka Kirishima bowed her head and pretended to be shy.
— You must have an older or younger brother, right? After Su Xiao said that sentence, Touka Kirishima felt a chill start to rise from her feet and go straight to her brain.
— A brother? Touka Kirishima looked rather nervous, but she was able to walk away calmly, and Su Xiao shrugged.
— The owner of the coffee shop handed Su Xiao a cup of coffee. — Touka, prepare the ingredients for tomorrow.
Touka was relieved and quickly left for the staff room.
Su Xiao wasn't in the habit of drinking coffee, but after smelling the aroma, he couldn't resist taking a sip.
After that, Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. - Delicious.
The coffee shop owner smiled. — Thank you for the compliment.
The owner of the coffee shop took a cup of coffee and sat down next to Su Xiao...
— You don't drink coffee often, do you? Coffee should be drunk slowly. Otherwise, it will affect the taste. Just like life — although it is bitter, we can taste other tastes in this bitterness.
— I'm not in the habit of drinking coffee. I just have a "friend" who works here, so I came to see him. Unfortunately, he wasn't here today, " Su Xiao said as he continued to drink his coffee.
— A friend? The coffee shop owner looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
— Yes, "friend", his name is Kaneki Ken, can the owner of the coffee shop contact him? Su Xiao put down his coffee cup and looked at the owner of the coffee shop.
— Oh, so this is Kaneki Ken. I'm sorry, but he took the day off.
Su Xiao was pretty sure that Kaneki Ken was in trouble.
— I'll forget about it then, " Su Xiao said and finished his coffee.
— Suzuya, let's go, " Su Xiao seemed to be relaxed, but he was actually keeping an eye on the situation. All eyes were on him, which meant that everyone present recognized him.
Su Xiao reached for his wallet...
— This coffee was on the house, " the coffee shop manager stood up and smiled.
Although the contact with the coffee shop owner was short-lived, Su Xiao found that he was different from most of the ghouls he had seen. He didn't give off an aura of madness and perversity.
He was more like a wise old man who showed off his helplessness to the world from time to time.
— Then, thank you, " Su Xiao stood up and they looked at each other.
— Guests, if you have the opportunity, please come to Anteika to have coffee again, even if it is night, everything will be fine, it is safe here, " his words contained many meanings.
This was not only an invitation, but also a warning that the ghouls here were very peaceful and did not harm people.
The coffee shop owner might have realized that Su Xiao had learned something.
And the fact that he had destroyed all the ghouls in District 14 was terrible news.
The owner of the coffee shop wanted to avoid a collision with the " Grim Reaper».
— Perhaps we'll meet again soon, " Su Xiao smiled at the manager, a red light flashing in his eyes.
After that, Su Xiao walked out of the coffee shop.
The owner of the coffee shop sat down and leaned back in his chair, then sighed.
Touka Kirishima left the room...
— Is he the Grim Reaper that appeared just recently? He's definitely not normal... Touka had a worried expression on her face. She was afraid that Su Xiao would start clearing out the 20th district, and if that happened, their coffee shop would need to move somewhere else.
— Nishiki Nishio was only an S-class ghoul, so he was very afraid of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao has killed more "A" and "S" class ghouls than Nishiki Nishio has ever seen in his entire life.
— Pure people can't be that strong. He came to Kaneki... after the owner of the coffee shop said that, the cafe went silent.
----
On the way back to the Ghoul Control Office branch, Juzo Suzuya was very active.
— Ah, ah, I had such a strange feeling in that coffee shop, " Juzo Suzui's intuition was very powerful.
— Su Xiao lit a cigarette as he walked down the night street.
Juzo Suzuya stared at Su Xiao and asked — " Byakuya, how do I become as strong as you?"?
— Opportunities, hard work, no fear of death...
Juzo Suzuya nodded, but didn't quite understand him.
Five minutes later, the two of them returned to the Ghoul Control branch.
After Su Xiao came to his room, he took a shower and lay down on the bed.
A blood-red card appeared in Su Xiao's hands. He was ready to activate the scarlet card that dropped from the Queen and wanted to see if he could get anything useful.
Tomorrow he will go to the 24th district. If he can get an item that will increase his stats, or some useful consumable, then it will be a good help to explore the 24th district..
After confirming the card's usage, it gradually dissolved and turned into a reddish liquid that floated calmly in the air.
The light red liquid suddenly began to spin rapidly and formed a vortex above Su Xiao.
There was an open space at the end of the funnel that looked like it was made for his hand, so he stuck his hand in...
Immediately, he felt like he had touched something smooth and soft.
Su Xiao smiled. He felt as if he had touched something very valuable.
As he pulled the item towards him, he immediately saw Heaven's notification.
The smile faded from his face, and after a moment, he swore loudly.
Paradise's notification was quite simple.
[You got a silk bra.]
