Takei Ayanokoji's Tool Man Guide

The set clock emits a sound in the distance that can shake the entire night sky filled with emptiness and silence.

As if listening to the source of the dangerous warning sound more clearly, I stopped the movement of my hands and focused my gaze on the direction of the sound coming from the headset.Although my field of vision has been blocked by the huge and towering buildings in the new capital of Fuyuki City, I still clearly know how the clock at the source of the bell achieves the coincidence of the minute hand and the hour hand at this moment, and how it is like a fellow traveler with different paces They are gradually pulling away from each other.

This moment should be the date change time, 0:0:0.

I am so familiar with this time, so familiar that even when I close my eyes, I can feel the rhythm of time turning into tangible elements and pulsating in my blood vessels. The fluctuations are so ordinary that people can't let go of the palpitations rushing to my heart at this moment.

"According to the rules of magicians, ordinary people who see magic tricks will be dealt with. I will use the fastest gun to let you leave this world with the least amount of pain. Don't worry..."

It was a deep but clear voice.This is enough to show that this voice comes from a handsome young man, a young man with an excellent voice, who maintains his majesty, and possesses the pride and self-esteem of a warrior.The last sentence "Be at ease" has the power to comfort people's hearts.

It would be better if the ultimate purpose of this sentence is not to send me to a dead end.

I didn't look back because looking back would distract me.

The opponent's gun brought a whistling wind that would bend the grass and trees by themselves.

I can't keep my back muscles relaxed before the awe-inspiring killing intent. Even though I am maintaining a calm posture now, it is obviously not easy for me to control the reactions of every nerve.After all, this has been preserved from ancient times to the present. It is an instinct within the human body that automatically produces "alertness" and "resistance" to external dangers.

Then, I saw the light that only a miracle can have in the dark night.

coming.

Location - Yokohama City.

It is 05:30 am.

It's not a warm morning.

It is the end of winter, and it is still dark outside the window, which will make people fall into confusion about the concept of time.The air-conditioning in the morning makes people not want to leave the bed.I already lacked a certain amount of self-control, or in other words, the kind of self-discipline that is as strict as a soldier who must follow all iron rules. After pressing down the annoying mobile phone alarm clock, I retracted into the bed again and continued to close my eyes.

Five minutes later, the alarm clock continued to ring.

With a slightly irritable and depressed mood, I turned off the phone alarm clock and slowly crawled out of the bed.The things that need to be done all day today are also in my movements, like making a list in my head, one by one, rolling automatically like a scroll in my mind.

I have to go to work today.

This is the point.

How to mess around at work is probably a question that everyone who adheres to neo-cynicism will think about.In other words, it can also be said that it is a question of how to indulge your negative attitude towards work-neither trying too hard, but also not trying hard.

In the mirror, my hair is a bit messy, and the lines that were slightly tender in my youth have faded away, and my eyes are as dry and tasteless as before.But it's much better than a cold gaze, I kind of know what kind of gaze people hate.At least this kind of look will only make others think that I am a person who does not think about making progress, rather than deliberately provoking other people's thorns.

I'm not the kind of person who likes to look in the mirror. After a brief glance at the mirror in the bathroom, I immediately looked away.

After washing up, I had a simple breakfast, and the miso soup and soy milk bread went well together.I suspect it's all about the compatibility of fermented foods.However, after I finished thinking about this sentence, I felt that it was a boring and confusing sentence, and people would definitely laugh at it.However, no one would hear what I said, so I laughed at myself with peace of mind.

When leaving, I carefully close the door.

The wall panels of the apartment are very thin, and the door must be closed softly, otherwise, the neighbors will be dissatisfied, and if I complain to the landlord, I will be very troublesome.After all, I was powerless to resist the bombarding condemnation from the landlord as if stuffed with gunpowder.

This year, I have successfully turned 19 years old, and I have just finished my high school life for one year.When the end of winter is over and the school starts again, I will be a sophomore in a university in this city. There are still two years before graduation, and my major is theoretical physics.Just in the first year, a senior put my shoulders on my shoulders and wailed, junior high school boy, get ready to live with bachelors for the next four years.

There is no doubt that this is the sound of despair that can only be revealed when living in a miserable world.Then, his voice rose, and he told me the good news. In fact, the foreign language college is next door, and [-]% of them are girls.But I guess it's not that simple. If it's really beneficial information, why did he tell me this student he just met.

It's not that I'm overly speculating on people's hearts.

Different from Eastern thinking, the Western theory of human nature is based on "individualism" and "liberalism." Christianity and Judaism are also based on the theory of evil in nature.So to be suspicious of a stranger, I think at least 35 billion people will have this behavior.

Then he invited me to join the fellowship.

"Although your personality is a bit gloomy, you have a face that will be popular with girls. In the society shown by friendship, you are already in the upper circle. I will take good care of you."

I wasn't impressed at all.

Because in our engineering college, especially in this boring major with no employment prospects, our group is already in the lower circle of participating groups.In this critical moment of being excluded from the friendship circle, I became a weight to keep their existence a little bit.

In other words, they just need me, and there is nothing worth being touched.

However, it also allowed me to get some necessary help in the early days of college.In addition, I also met people from other faculties in the fellowship, such as Junichiro Tanizaki.He introduced me to my new job.He said that he was working as an errand for a company with a good boss, and now they were short of people, so he could go and have a look during the winter vacation.

I don't know if he forgot about it, or if he didn't mention it on purpose, anyway, his text message didn't arrive until last night.

"Tomorrow at nine o'clock, come to this cafe called "Uzumaki"~"

I replied "~", which is a very convenient way of replying that I learned when I was still naive.In fact, many people now respond with emojis, but to be honest, I feel like an old man out of touch with the times for those who are not used to it.

Tanizaki replied with a thumbs up emoji.

I am familiar with the Vortex Cafe.

The red brick retro-style building where it is located has five floors.The coffee shop is on the ground floor, and the owner is very good at making coffee. In summer, he will launch a limited dessert of "coffee jelly".The second floor was rented by a lawyer and is now a law firm.The third floor is still up for rent, the fourth floor is a detective agency, and the fifth floor has no specified purpose, and there is no news about it being rented out. It is probably used for storing sundries.There's also a pottery shop next door to them called Shimomura that does pretty good pottery.The pottery master also opened a hobby class for unemployed housewives, hobbyists who come for hobbies, and those who provide venues for parent-child activities. The business is very good.

Because I am very familiar with the location Tanizaki mentioned, I don't need to ask for leave to check the location.

I have to deliver newspapers in the morning, which is a part-time job I've kept since I was in school, and I'm interested in driving around on a buggy.After delivering the newspaper, I went to the Vortex restaurant at 45:[-].The boss recognizes me because I delivered the daily newspapers in their coffee shop.

When I entered the store, the boss asked me if I came to eat something?

I said that I have a job interview appointment here, and I have already had breakfast.

But the boss poured me a Brevec anyway.It's a half latte, and it's half cream and half milk.I think it's time to tell him that I have graduated from sweet milk, and I can also drink espresso or Americano.

However, before I could speak, a copper bell rang at the door of the store, and I stopped talking after I caught sight of the figure of the visitor.

There were two people who came, one was Junichiro Tanizaki who was familiar with me, and the other was Ranpo Edogawa who I was familiar with.

"I heard that Mr. Kunikida and I are looking for temporary workers, so our Mr. Ranpo is here too, don't you mind?" Tanizaki Junichiro sat next to me, and when he was talking, he whispered, " He is mainly here to eat and drink, so you don't need to be too nervous."

I don't think I've ever been nervous about this dark-haired young man in front of me, whose attention was entirely absorbed by my Brevet.

After staring at my coffee cup for a long time, he looked up at me again and said, "I remember you, the one you gave me flowers before."

"Send flowers?" Junichiro Tanizaki obviously didn't know that I had some relationship with Mr. Ranpo Edogawa.

So I explained that I had worked as a florist and delivered flowers to him.

"Oh, it's the delivery man."

Tanizaki Junichiro suddenly realized.

But Edogawa Ranpo didn't pay attention, he just looked into my eyes, as if he wanted to find out the real purpose of my coming to this coffee shop in my eyes, after thinking for a while, he said: "You don't want to work in a detective agency Bar?"

"Hmm." I replied bluntly.

I had reasons not to go to the detective agency, but I came anyway.

Seeing my short answer, Edogawa asked with a bored expression on his face, "What's your name?"

"Ayanokouji." As I said, I wanted to introduce my wording at the previous sorority meeting, but I gave up and continued to speak in a steady voice, "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."

Edogawa's rambling voice continued: "Okay, Ayanokouji, you don't want to work in a detective agency, so what are you doing here?"

As if thinking better, I picked up the coffee cup to replenish the sugar my body needed.However, I just squeezed my answer into my mouth, straight down the throat, and then diverted from the warm and sweet coffee liquid, and ran back to where my heart was-

"Just dropped by to see you."
