[Comprehensive] Young man, do you know the method of single draw?

He and Rin made an appointment in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, where he lives now.

He withdrew from the private conversation with Rin, and slowly began to feel fluctuating in his heart while watching the phone's interface.

Wait, wait, what did he do?

He really agreed to meet with netizens——

That netizen, Rin, who seems to have supernatural powers.

The place the two agreed on was a coffee shop with a relatively quiet environment. The purpose of this time was just to talk, not to have a meal, so it doesn’t matter where you choose, but a place like a coffee shop that exudes the aroma of coffee beans is very clear-headed. up.

Rin Sakuma got off the tram and walked from the brightly lit underground to the city streets that were completely plunged into night after evening.The neon lights are flashing, and even at night it is still a living world.

It was still early with the agreed time, and Rin Sakuma didn't plan to go anywhere else, so he went directly to the coffee shop and sat down at the reserved table.

After a while, a teenager in a green and white sports coat came here.

"Excuse me...are you Rin?"

The boy's clear voice sounded gentle and shy. Rin Sakuma raised his eyes and saw the boy with short black hair standing by the table. Looking at those gray-blue pupils, he smiled: "Of course it's me. ,This is the place we agreed upon. This is the first time we met, Tanaka-kun, thank you for coming to chat with me."

The boy whose online name is Taro Tanaka sat down on the seat opposite Sakuma Rin, "Rin looks very urban, but at first I was a little afraid to get close to him."

"The feeling of city people?" Rin Sakuma said, "It's the first time I've heard this kind of statement, but I'm just a very ordinary high school student, so I don't have to be restrained."

Taro Tanaka responded with a shy smile, "Haha... Is that so, it's great that Rin is a kind person."

"Well, I'm still easy to get along with. The previous self-introduction mode was 'I like animals, and I usually do some sports. I am enthusiastic and cheerful. If you need help with anything, you can come to me. I like to talk. If you think I If you talk too much, you can tell me as much as you want, although it may not be changed."

"Hey... that sounds amazing."

Sakuma Rin called the waiter, ordered Taro Tanaka and at the same time ordered a cup of caramel coffee himself.

"I'm treating guests. If you want to eat, just order it. I saw that the food here has a lot of good reviews."

"Huh?!" Taro Tanaka still wanted to push back, but was suppressed by Rin Sakuma.

Their seats are next to the wall, and the wooden screen blocks the guests in other seats. The black wallpaper against the wall is decorated with fake vines, adding a bit of mischievous greenery to the quiet environment.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Rin Sakuma, and my name in the chat room is Rin."

"Is my real name? I am Teijin Longzhifeng, a student in a high school here, and I will be in the second grade after school starts."

"Like me, I am also in the second grade after school starts."

"Speaking of which, I heard you say in the chat room that you are going to work. Even though you are still a high school student, you need to go on a business trip. The work is really amazing!" While Emperor Longzhifeng was speaking, the coffee he ordered was served first. He said to the waiter, "Ah, thanks."

The topic of work was mentioned before, because it is the task of the Armed Detective Agency, so I can't tell the truth to Teijin Ryunomine.

Sakuma Rin followed his praise and said: "When you enter the club, you will also encounter many business trips."

"Rin is the same age as me, right? I feel much more mature than me, so you will also encounter the trouble of having to find someone to talk to to sort out your thoughts?"

Emperor Longzhifeng asked, and there was only a little curiosity in the young man's clear eyes, which were very pure eyes.

Sakuma Rin organized the language.

"One thing, for me, has to be done and it's going to be a long-term behavior. It's a choice that hurts other people, and it doesn't hurt anyone. It's both for me. It's an option, but if I choose the second option, I'm going to be miserable...to the point where I might lose control and make the first choice."

Emperor Longzhifeng listened quietly, and asked: "Is the injury very serious? Irreversible injury?"

"Words within my control are moderate and reversible."

"Since they will all develop into the first type in the end..." Emperor Longzhifeng had a calm look in his eyes, "Then, how about choosing the first type from the beginning?"

"But it will hurt other people, especially the people I value." Sakuma Rin said helplessly, "I don't want to be an existence that will bring him harm, and I don't want him to feel pain."

he?

Emperor Longzhifeng said: "The 'other person', is there only one person, or can it be someone else?"

"the latter."

"Hmm... Although it's a bit too much to say this, but if Rin doesn't mind, I seriously want to say this—" Emperor Longzhifeng smiled softly, "If other people can do it, let them be Goals. That way cherished people don’t get hurt, and you can accomplish the long-term action that must be done.”

The indifferent side hidden under the gentleness is somewhat unexpected.

Rin Sakuma stirred the coffee with cubed sugar.

"I have also considered this method." He said, inadvertently embedded in the listener's heart, "It's just... What is the difference between me who behaved like this and a fallen monster?"

There is soft music playing in the cafe, "Night Moon" by Mai Hoshimura.

The soft piano prelude passed, and a gentle female voice sang:

Dirty れなき何よりも大事なものに 【It is more important than not to be dirty】

出会えたら目の前の世界は変わる【The world in front of me has changed since we met】

"The thing that bothers Rin is not actually which of these two choices to choose, but 'whether I can control myself'."

Emperor Longzhifeng said slowly.

"I don't want to hurt others, and I don't want to become a 'fallen monster' who can only do the first option. I guessed it a little rudely, the behavior you have to do... should be a little scary, It is unacceptable to ordinary people. And what we are discussing is also some non-daily topics. As a person who 'may become a monster', the person you want to protect is an ordinary person who lives in an ordinary life like me. people."

"...Well, you are very sharp." Rin Shuojian said, "It's scary to be so sharp, I've guessed it to this point."

"Because Rin is a friend I have chatted with for a long time." Teijin Longzhifeng eased his expression and smiled slightly, "I have known each other for almost two years, and I have a little bit of inference about you. Especially once you and melancholy I was in the chat room at that time, I was a little surprised when I saw your historical records, thinking 'There are really people living in extraordinary ways in the world', and I felt that I was separated in another The world is a little lonely."

Chatting with Alcor...! ! !

Sakuma Rin suddenly covered his face.

"Then, at that time, you saw all the speeches of Secondary School!?"

Emperor Longzhifeng nodded: "Well, I posted it because I was worried about causing panic."

"So when I came back, I saw that you sent so many historical materials, not because you have to fail the exam, but because you are helping us to refresh the screen..."

Teijin Longzhifeng was amused by Rin Sakuma's reaction, and suppressed laughter overflowed from his throat: "Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you."

After this period of conversation, the strange atmosphere between the two gradually dissipated.

"Since you want to talk heart-to-heart, tell me all about the situation. I really want to hear it, and my psychological endurance is still very strong, not boasting." Longzhifeng Emperor said, "These things are my treasures, and I will take good care of them. Bury it in my heart and enjoy it alone.”

He was obviously an ordinary and gentle boy, but after the truth was revealed, he was unexpectedly powerful, which made Rin Sakuma no longer want to hide it from him.

"You're right, too much concealment will affect your judgment in helping me."

Emperor Longzhifeng agreed, "That's right."

"Let's start with my identity. I am a vampire, and it is no problem to understand it as a vampire in novels and comics. The thing that bothers me now is whether to try the blood of living people, because for me, the blood bag is regarded as such. The stored blood can no longer satisfy me."

"Is it at this level from the beginning?" Emperor Longzhifeng complained, "So the 'inflicted damage' is that the humans around you will lose blood in pain and become your food?"

Sakuma Rin nodded.

"So that's it. The two choices are either to drink human blood, or to eat the blood stored in the blood bag."

"Yes."

To be honest, Emperor Longzhifeng was a little envious of the person whom Sakuma Rin kept in his heart and didn't want to hurt anyway.

"The way I said before is to find innocent passers-by or wicked people who don't feel guilty to suck blood, but you said that it will become a fallen monster...?"

Sakuma Rin smiled helplessly, and said, "People who hurt others at will just to satisfy themselves."

Emperor Longzhifeng's fingers under the table trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking.

"Well, that's really bad."

"It's not that people who try their best to satisfy themselves are bad, it's just that this doesn't suit me."

Rin Sakuma propped his cheeks with one hand, and his eyes followed the walking waiter. The words he said made Longzhifeng Emperor look up at him again.

Emperor Longzhifeng pursed his lips slightly, and relaxed again after a while, "Then, as a friend, let's put forward an idea from the standpoint of ordinary people."

"Imagination?"

"If there is an ordinary person who is willing to sacrifice himself," Emperor Longzhifeng said while thinking, "then, as long as he doesn't feel pain during the process, and you can restrain yourself and let him recover , there is no problem."

In the night not long ago, the face of Hibiki Kuze who looked at him through a barrier appeared in Sakuma Rin's memory.

【You can use my blood, and you only need my blood.No other blood needs to be around you. 】

"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself." Sakuma Rin murmured.

"Let him also have the power to control and resist you." Emperor Longzhifeng looked at him, "Stay calm and rational, and always know what you want in your heart. This is what you must insist on .”

Among the songs played in the coffee shop, the female voice was still slowly singing a slightly sad melody.

人が持つ微さ精さ【People have weakness and fragility in their hearts】

目を反らすことが出ない【I will not escape them】

Respectさゆえ【They should also be respected】

Rin Sakuma was silent for a while, then slowly let out a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly.

"So it's like this... so it's such a simple answer."

He's the one who got the point.

"Thank you, Teijin."
