As we all know, winding zero is a human being

On a hot summer day, there are clear windows and a central air conditioner that blows cold air to expel the heat wave outside the coffee shop. Zero stands at the counter with a smile and wipes the coffee cup and white porcelain plate, and sometimes turns his head to look at it. Passers-by on the sidewalk outside the store.

"It's coming, it's coming, psychological quality is the first level... Hey, it's time for Dun Jun to set interview questions for others, time flies so fast~"

"Time flies by so fast... But is it obvious that ordinary positions have to go through this kind of test?! What kind of test did the maids in the shop go through, Dazai-san?!"

"And the topic has nothing to do with me at all, Mr. Dazai is just playing!"

He wondered helplessly, could the whispering voices of the two people sitting in the innermost compartment be lowered?

It sounds like something you can't tell him. If you need to observe and evaluate, you should be quieter, right?

Ah, is it because his senses are more sensitive that he can hear?That's fine.

"Even the person introduced by Dun Jun has to go through an interview!"

His hands are intertwined to support his chin which has nowhere to rest. The unreliable young man in a beige windbreaker sits across from him, thinking that it is not easy for Atsushi Nakajima to work here. He was not very good at talking in the past. Has everyone become a qualified Tucao servant?

Just as he was thinking about this, the door of the coffee shop was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and the crisp sound of the wind chime became urgent. Zero saw a man wearing a hood but a suit vest holding a shiny The knife rushed in.

Wearing a hood and wearing a pair of glasses on the outside made the robbery scene much more refined, he looked around fiercely with exaggerated movements: "Osamu Dazai—where is that guy Dazai?!"

"There is no employee with this name in this store, maybe the customer has found the wrong place?"

Zero moved the fragile cup and plate in his hand to the side, still looked at the robber with a hospitality smile, and touched under the counter with his hand.

However, his movements were noticed by the other party almost immediately, and the exposed eyes were inexplicably still a little stiff, and Mr. Robber gestured to him with a knife: "I know—you and armed detectives here There is a contact with the society, call that bastard out, or—”

The knife slashed in front of him made Zero have to step back and lean against the cabinet with coffee beans. He was a little surprised, because if the opponent's knife was a little weaker, he might not be able to dodge it and be caught. The blade was against the throat.

So a coffee shop waiter interview has to be a test of force? !What kind of work are you doing here? !

However, this development made Mr. Robber stunned. His original intention was to proceed to the next step of interrogation after controlling Zero. The kitchen knives he bought in the shopping mall next door were not long enough, and the counter and the remaining movable range inside made him unable to do so. Threat again.

Glancing at the coffee bean that took him a whole morning to memorize the name, Zero decided to do his job well: "Well, or do you want to have a cup of coffee before thinking about how to continue? There is a new guy in the store. A batch of Indonesian gold mandheling, rich in taste, low in acidity, rich in smoke."

"Ah, please have a drink, thank you."

"Would the medium-dark roast balance be better, or do the guests have other requirements?"

"Just do as you say."

"……OK."

"..."

"puff."

Hearing the obvious laughter at the end, Zero saw the veins on Mr. Robber's forehead that even the mask couldn't stop, but it had nothing to do with him.

Turning around, he took out the coffee beans from the cabinet, ground, roasted and extracted them in one go, and when he brought the coffee to the other party, he saw that Mr. Robber had simply taken off his mask.

The young man who put his glasses back on looked serious, as if he had changed into a different person: "In Shimokuni Kida, I was entrusted by Nakajima Atsushi... the guy next to you to be your interviewer. Judging from what happened just now—"

"Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute, Kunikida!"

Zero seemed to be the Mr. Dazai they were talking about stretched his waist and stood up, and Atsushi Nakajima reluctantly followed behind him and walked over together.

The somewhat embarrassed boy tugged at his straps unnaturally: "Well, Zero, Mr. Dazai may have made a mistake..."

"What?" Zero glanced at Kunikida Doppo, then looked back at Atsushi Nakajima in confusion, "Could it be that the job of a waiter in a coffee shop is under so much competition now? If so, I might not be used to it." Life here..."

If Ren Zero were to comment on how the work of the past two days made him feel, he could only say that Yokohama is really too hot.

Everywhere you can see workers in black suits with paralyzed faces and only one expression. Early morning and late night are the times when the most orders are placed, and an office worker who seems to be here on a business trip that I ran into by chance called me directly after hanging up the phone. Overtime is shit.

If he really can't keep going, why don't he just lie flat for the last two years?

But the Mr. Kunikida Doppo seemed to be more confused than him after hearing Zero's words: "...the waiter in the coffee shop?"

Kunikida inhaled and exhaled, and when he turned his head, he entered the hunting moment: "Dazai—"

"Hey, here." Osamu Dazai took a step back and said in an innocent tone, "It's obvious that Kunikida didn't ask me what position the other party applied for? It's your fault if you make a mistake~"

Atsushi Nakajima: "Isn't it normal for Mr. Kunikida to misunderstand after listening to your interview content?!"

Listening to the conversation between the three of them, Zero also keenly noticed that Dazai Osamu's iris-colored eyes were staring at him when he was talking, and he also found something wrong.

Uh, it should be said that something is wrong everywhere.

First of all, not to mention that this talisman does not comply with the law, which makes normal people read the interview and only wants to call the police. Even if it is not a job as a waiter in a coffee shop, which job can be placed on the table that requires such a technical level? !

Caution made Zero easily retreat: "Why don't you just forget about it, Dun, I'll look back and see if there are other jobs I can find... Please help me this time."

Osamu Dazai tilted his head slightly: "Yeah, anyway, I didn't pass the exam anyway, so this is the best!"

Zero: "...Huh?"

He won't like it if you say that.

The dignity of a worker is to be able to say that he quits the job rather than being rejected for his poor business. Besides, didn't he just successfully sell a cup of coffee?These years, there are too many customers who come to the store to order a glass of concentrated drink and ask for a serving of ice water to make do with it all afternoon. He can still see the heartache of the shop manager.

Kunikida Doppo, who was holding a coffee cup, also thought so, he suppressed his anger and frowned: "Even with your absurd interview content, this friend of Atsushi-kun should be considered a passer, Dazai, you are—" —”

Zero and he nodded, "Just call me Zero, Mr. Kunikida."

However, Osamu Dazai shook his fingers in the gaze of the three people and sighed helplessly, narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and his raised smile became somewhat meaningful.

"Under normal circumstances, if you encountered such an emergency, if it was a waiter, shouldn't you have pressed the alarm bell under the counter? Kunikida's physical skills are very good, and Zero-kun's reaction is not bad. , so what did Ling-kun do before asking Dun-kun for help in finding a job?"

Osamu Dazai sighed and looked him up and down: "Young people nowadays are really amazing, at this age they should be studying in junior high school, right?"

Atsushi Nakajima is still very supportive of the venue and is being his complaint: "...you are not much older, Mr. Dazai!"

"So Dunta got such an evaluation from you?"

While talking naturally, Zero packed up the utensils he used to make coffee on the counter, and put them back to their original places one by one. His actions made Kunikida Doppo nod his head straight.

He suddenly looked up at Osamu Dazai: "Besides, whether I can get this job...is it up to you alone?"

Atsushi Nakajima hadn't seen Zero so bravely turn on the smug mode, and his eyes widened a bit.

The point is that his target is still Mr. Dazai!

"Zero-kun is right, Dazai-san."

The store manager finally came down from the upstairs, and the white-haired middle-aged man who was half a step behind her was wearing a kimono and stepping on clogs, so Ling couldn't help but take a second look.

She said she was the store manager, but she also wore a maid outfit like the other waiters, and the lady manager came over and patted Zero on the shoulder, with an encouraging smile on her face: "Mr. Ling did a really good job. Excellent, the bean that is so difficult to sell was sold by Mr. Zero, but after three days of learning how to make coffee, it is exactly the same as mine, which really makes me a little ashamed."

Zero bowed to her gratefully: "So I just said, I won't lose money if I use it?"

Kunikida Dobubu: "..."

What's going on, why is the coffee in your hand suddenly not fragrant?

Zero naturally saw Kunikida Doppo's expression in his eyes, and when the store manager accidentally exposed the truth, he did not rush to make amends and said: "These beans are not easy to sell, but it doesn't mean they are not good to drink... It seems that Mr. Kida prefers coffee with low acidity, and this kind of coffee beans are the most suitable.”

Nakajima Atsushi answered curiously: "Is there still so much to pay attention to?"

Zero spread his hands towards him: "I'll make you a cup of dirty another day. Every sip feels different. I like to drink this."

"Hey~ Even Kunikida's preferences can be figured out in two or three sentences, so it makes people care more?"

Osamu Dazai, who was cut off by the store manager, still had a good-looking smile on his face, but the words he said were still so straightforward and sinister.

Zero couldn't help frowning, Rao had cultivated a good temper with a certain colleague, and he was indeed a little angry at this time because of several malicious speculations.

Where's the knife? Where's his knife? That gentleman over there dressed traditionally, can you lend him the knife you're wearing around your waist?

"This is the end of the matter."

Just when his eyes kept glancing at the middle-aged man, the other party finally spoke to stop the meaningless argument.

"Ling-kun's job can be arranged here." He looked at the lady owner and nodded, "Dazai also has good intentions, but sometimes there are many things that don't need to be thought about so much."

Hearing a certain vocabulary, Osamu Dazai just curled his lips but turned his eyes and did not speak again.

"I'm Fukuzawa Yukichi, and I'm friends with the owner of this vortex coffee shop. Dazai, Kunikida, and Nakajima-kun and I work on the fourth floor, so we will inevitably have more contact in the future." Fukuzawa Yukichi sees that Rei is still there Looking at himself, he said softly, "Don't be offended."

Zero shrugged at him: "When Mr. Dazai comes to drink coffee, I will definitely spit in it."

Miss shop owner: "... If you say such things in front of customers, half of your salary will be deducted today?"

Zero quickly turned around and showed her wet eyes that never tired of trying: "Did I say anything just now? Not at all!"

So deduct wages or something, please do not do this!

Kunikida Doppo laughed embarrassingly to Osamu Dazai, and Atsushi Nakajima couldn't help laughing.

Fukuzawa Yujixin said that it is quite interesting, and it is indeed Dazai's worry that he can remember grudges like this.

Hearing this, Osamu Dazai lowered his head, his shoulders suddenly trembled, and when he raised his head again, his extraordinarily bright smile was so radiant that it cannot be ignored: "What an interesting guy... I think you are not the same as them. Have you ever thought about walking into the embrace of death on a sunny day?"

"Why don't you consider dying for love with me?"

"Mr. Dazai didn't mean that. In the past, he always found innocent women to die in love... What are you talking about?!"

After getting off work in the evening, when Zero changed his uniform in the coffee shop and was tidying up and washing his face inside, Atsushi Nakajima cautiously poked his head out from behind the door.

He was bluntly explaining a series of strange actions of the man named Osamu Dazai in the afternoon, but he seemed to be getting more and more black as he talked.

"...Anyway, don't take it to heart, Mr. Dazai is really a good person."

Zero tilted his head to look at Atsushi Nakajima, and patted him on the shoulder helplessly: "It's really hard work for you to have such a colleague."

Although the boss seems to be a very reliable adult, Mr. Kunikida can also let his little friends see a wider range of things, but once there is such an unreliable colleague at work, the mood will be like riding a roller coaster. .

No, judging from Osamu Dazai's black mud, this is not a roller coaster but a jumping machine.

"So they said that you rejected the adoptive family and ran out alone...are they treating you badly?"

Hearing what Atsushi Nakajima asked hesitantly, Zero shook his head firmly.

"No, they're nice people."

It's just that he doesn't want to drag them down this time.

Couples from different countries have been unable to have their own children due to busy work. Adoption has been quite common in Japan since ancient times.

The memory of the first life is something that gradually comes back with age, as if experiencing two life situations at the same time made him confused for a long time before straightening things out.

In the future, the father who adopted him will return to the country due to work scheduling, and he and his adoptive mother will naturally leave the country, and then... there will be no more.

Touching his heart, Ling felt that his body was so healthy that he could not see any signs of sudden illness, and he didn't want Atsushi Nakajima to know about it.

If someone as gentle as Atsushi Nakajima would be mistaken for a coward, if he knew...

Must be crying loudly.
