I, Kiriko, the Cheater

Tongzi stopped insisting, said goodbye to the two and left.

Looking at Tongzi who was leaving, Yongjin Yingliang clasped his hands behind his head: "Let me tell you, why don't you let me tell her the truth?"

Kaneki Ken said lightly.

"If you let her know, she will definitely feel very uncomfortable, so let's just leave it like this. Anyway, we are living a pretty good life now, aren't we?"

Yongjin Yingliang sighed.

"You are still the same, even if you are covered in bruises, you don't want to hurt others... No, you stepped on me just now, hum, I'm angry, Jin Mu, how can you compensate me?"

Kaneki Ken scratched the back of his head in trouble, "Stop making trouble, Ying, how about I buy some CDs of Western music for you?"

"It's almost there."

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The days are so dull that there is nothing worth elaborating on.

In these days, Tongzi still maintains her previous way of life.

Go out at night to hunt the ghouls that attack people, and then make food from these ghouls.

Then Tongzi would send food to Antique every once in a while.

She didn't expect that Fangcun Gongshan would do some minor work with the food he sent.

She didn't know that, as the cleaner of V, Fangcun Gongshan had his own connections and connections.

Although he is now just the owner of a coffee shop with a tepid business, those relationships are still available.

In addition to the food necessary for life, he took the extra food to the private research institute he knew.

It seems that he has finally realized that helping weak ghouls is not just a literal help, mass production of artificial food that ghouls can also eat, fundamentally solves the contradiction between humans and ghouls, and more Helps regulate the relationship between humans and ghouls.

Tongzi has no opinion on the store manager's approach.

If humans and ghouls can live in harmony from now on, there's nothing wrong with that.

Ghouls have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans, so that ghouls can work with drug detection dogs; and ghouls can use their tails to move on buildings, so that ghoul firefighters can enter the fire scene more quickly and efficiently than ordinary human firefighters ...

Mr. Lu Xun (sensitive word) once said, take the essence and discard the dross.

Tongzi believes that it is also applicable to this.

But in this ordinary day, there was a little episode.

One day, among human beings, Izumi Takatsuki, a popular writer, suddenly came to Tongzi and said a lot of things that felt inscrutable, but the meaning was inexplicable.

Tongzi is not a literary youth, and she has never liked reading Wenqing's books.

She has heard of Takatsuki Izumi's name, and it is said that tragedy is what she is best at, and almost all of her works are tragedies.

Maybe it’s because she’s getting older. Tongzi has never liked to watch tragic works. When she was young, she liked car accidents, amnesia, and terminal illnesses. Later, as she got older, she no longer liked these three series. Instead, I prefer works that are more relaxed, joyful, and even sand sculpture-oriented.

Izumi Takatsuki came to see Tongzi, and the two of them didn't talk for too long before she left, which made Tongzi completely unaware of what the other party was looking for.

After sending off Takatsuki Izumi, Tongzi played the game for a while and was about to go to bed when the phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

But after thinking about it, I finally accepted it.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Tong? I'm Fangcun." The store manager's old voice came from the phone

Tongzi only saved Dong Xiang's mobile phone number, not the others in Antique.

That's why the call from the store manager will show an unfamiliar number.

"You're calling so late, what's the matter, store manager?"

"Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay, I'm not asleep yet."

"Miss Tong, Antique is going to close down."

"Closed business, why?" Tongzi was taken aback for a moment, then thought, "Is it because of the rent?"

The first thing Tongzi thinks about is the rent. You must know that renting a place to open a shop in a big city is quite expensive. If the business is not good, you may use all the money you earn to pay the rent, or even earn less than the rent.

Tongzi recalled that during this period of time she went to antiques, it seemed that she had never seen antiques being popular.

Although it would be better for the coffee shop to be quieter, for the store manager, quietness means poor business.

If you add wages to Dong Xiang and other shop assistants—even if you are a ghoul, you still have to abide by the most basic labor laws.

In the past, Tongzi never thought about this issue from the customer's point of view. She just thought it was unbelievable for a ghoul to open a coffee shop in human society. Now that she thinks about it so seriously, it is not only unbelievable, it is simply a miracle!

"There are indeed some reasons that are inconvenient to say."

"If it's a financial problem, you can come to me. Don't look at me like this. In fact, I still have a little bit of assets."

"Thank you so much, Miss Tong, but it's not for this reason, but for more complicated reasons."

Tongzi could feel that the store manager tried his best to avoid this question, so she stopped asking.
