"It's a waste for Kiyotaka-kun to be the waiter of the coffee shop." Osamu Dazai sighed in a low voice, "What I said before is still valid. If Kiyotaka-kun wants to join the detective agency, you can contact me at any time."

"Forget it." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka sat quietly on the chair, "Compared to a life of fighting and killing, this kind of ordinary coffee shop is the most suitable for me, Mr. Dazai, don't you think you can choose what you want?" Is the job to be chosen an ultimate freedom?"

"Freedom?" Osamu Dazai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka nodded, "In this world, the best group of people and the worst group of people are the most eye-catching, and those who are in the middle of the good and the bad are not eye-catching, not being noticed means It is a kind of freedom that belongs to oneself without being disturbed.”

"It looks very interesting." Dazai Osamu raised the corner of his mouth, "Then Kiyotaka-kun is acting for freedom?"

"Please call me Ayanokōji."

"I said no, I want to be Kiyotaka-kun's friend." Osamu Dazai looked at him with a slight smile in his iris-colored eyes.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at him, "Yeah, I just want to be free."

"My thoughts and Qinglong-kun's are completely opposite." Osamu Dazai snapped his fingers, "The so-called freedom means standing at the top, and only standing at a high enough place can you see more scenery and have more rights. Only then can you grasp what you want to hold tightly."

"Really?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka looked at him indifferently.

Osamu Dazai chuckled, "The so-called middle is just to make your own existence transparent, but if someone who can make a decision finds your value and decides to use you as a bait, even pretending to be normal is useless. Those who make the decisions are pretty ruthless."

"As long as you don't get caught, you'll be fine."

"Don't underestimate your enemies." Osamu Dazai put his index finger in front of his lips, his voice was low, with an astonishingly dark voice, "To underestimate them is to underestimate yourself."

The golden eyes remained unchanged, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka stared at Osamu Dazai, and after a while he said, "But Mr. Dazai."

"what?"

"Why do you think that since you stand in the middle, you can't make a decision?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said: "The so-called existence of the middle is not to make yourself transparent, but to make those people unable to see the so-called upper limit. It doesn't matter if they are discovered, as long as they can't trouble me, as long as I win in the end, that's fine."

Those golden eyes were filled with astonishing indifference and confidence, it was the first time that Osamu Dazai felt such sharp emotion from him.

It's so surprising that this young man thought so.

But...it was so much fun.

Osamu Dazai raised the corners of his mouth, his kite-colored eyes were full of interest, "Qinglong-kun is really confident."

"I'm just talking casually. After all, I'm just an ordinary person, and I occasionally fantasize about becoming a superpower and flying in the sky." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said perfunctorily, "Mr. Dazai, are you going to work now?" ? Is it really okay to stay here forever?"

"Oh? You drove me away so soon!" Osamu Dazai yelled dissatisfiedly, "I don't want to go to work. I want to try a new way of suicide more than going to work. This time, I will definitely be able to leave this world!"

"Come on." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka stood up, "I wish you an early departure from this world."

Osamu Dazai watched the figure of Ayanokōji Kiyotaka disappear, and put away the smile on his face. Osamu Dazai closed his eyes slightly and heaved a sigh of relief. According to what he said, he only hoped that he would stand in the middle, in a way that others could not ignore. To get the freedom he wants, in this case, he should not favor any side.

That way, you won't be an enemy.

……

The work in the coffee shop is not very troublesome. Most of the time, Ayanokōji is just a helper. There are not many customers in the shop. The group of people from the detective agency upstairs may come the most. Atsushi Nakajima seems to be adapting well. Now He has already started to go out with other people, and when he is free, he also likes to sit in the coffee shop and wait for Kiyotaka Ayanokōji.

When there were few people, the store manager began to teach Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to identify coffee beans and teach him how to make various coffees. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's talent in this area was limited, and finally the store manager gave up and asked Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to recognize the road more. Occasionally, a customer will order food delivery, and he needs to go out at that time.

"Welcome." The lady in charge of serving in the store looked at the customers who opened the door with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

The man was wearing a suit, and he glanced at his watch. Both the suit and the watch seemed to be of great value. The man glanced casually, then found a seat and sat down, "Give me a cup of coffee."

"Yes, please wait a moment." The hostess said with a standard smile, then turned and left to ask the manager to make a cup of coffee.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka was clearing the dishes. Out of the corner of his eye, this man looked at his watch several times within 5 minutes. He seemed to be anxious about something. He didn't drink the coffee after it was brought to the table. He looked at his phone hesitantly. Seems hesitant to contact someone.

Ah, I should have come to find a detective agency.

The Armed Detective Agency has always accepted commissions from the outside world, whether as bodyguards or investigations of certain smuggling organizations. Their reputation is also particularly loud. This person should also seek the protection of the Detective Agency for certain things.

But it's because of their different positions that they are so entangled?

In the end, the man didn't drink the coffee either. The man sighed heavily until the brown liquid was completely cool. He went to the front desk to check out and turned to leave the coffee shop.

"I didn't take a sip." The receptionist poured out the cold coffee, "This gentleman doesn't seem to be here for coffee."

"Huh? Is that so? Maybe it's something urgent." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka answered casually, "It's better not to meddle in other people's private affairs."

"That's true." The receptionist sighed, "But I feel that this gentleman seems to have been wandering around the coffee shop for the past few days. I saw him when I came home from work yesterday. What did he lose? Is there something nearby to look for?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka thought for a while, "If it's something important, you should have called the police a long time ago."

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and the receptionist hurried over to answer the phone.

"Yes, yes, would you like a cup of coffee? Send it over? Huh? Your address seems to be not far from the coffee shop. Do you really need us to deliver it? Okay, sorry, I understand, and I will deliver it now."

The receptionist hung up the phone, and she looked helplessly at Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, "Mr. Kiyotaka, a customer ordered coffee, please deliver it, the location is not very far, just next to the street."

"Isn't that very close?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka glanced outside the door, "Such a short distance, do you need to send it?"

"The guest said he had to deliver it, maybe... it's not convenient for him to move around."

In the end, he went out. Ayanokōji Kiyotaka walked out with a takeaway box. He looked at the map marked on his mobile phone. The destination was very close. You only need to cross a street to see the destination, but it is really strange, this short distance Is it necessary to ask the coffee shop to deliver it?

Thinking in this way, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka continued to walk forward. At this moment, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka stopped, and there was a little water vapor in the air, like the breath after the rain, with a little fishy smell.

A girl stepped out of the corner, she lowered her head, she couldn't see her face clearly, only saw her long black and blue hair and red kimono, she lowered her head as if she didn't care about anything, passing by For a moment, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka finally saw her face clearly.

Although expressionless, but very immature, should not be more than 15 years old.

Compared with this Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, he cared more about other things, such as the strong smell of blood coming from this girl.

Stepping forward, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's golden eyes were full of irritability, and the looming bloody smell became more obvious as he walked towards the destination. This feeling told Kiyotaka Ayanokouji that the customer who ordered coffee might have been killed.

In the end, Qingtaka Ayanokōji stood at the entrance of an alley. In the alley where the sunlight could not penetrate, the man lay silently in a pool of blood. The dark red blood was still spreading. It should not be more than 10 minutes before he died.

"It's really troublesome."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka put the takeaway box on the ground, he stared quietly at the corpse on the ground, there was no trace of fear or panic in his golden eyes, he would not be terrified or pitiful for the death of a human being at all, just like a relative As Sawa Shota once said, in his eyes a person who dies is like a broken toy.

"It's just a coffee delivery. Since you realize that you will be killed, then don't leave like this. Wait until the detective agency comes back. Moreover, you must let the innocent coffee shop deliver coffee to you."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka has confirmed that this person is the man who ordered coffee at the coffee shop but didn't drink it.

At this time, ordering coffee to be delivered, probably just wanting the person who delivered the coffee to protect him from the knife, what a vicious adult.

But he probably didn't expect that the innocent coffee shop clerk who blocked the knife would be killed by the killer.

It's so pitiful, maybe I was thinking why before I died.
